Chapter Twenty-Three: Into the Mountain

In the early morning of the next day, the golden morning sun staggered like a sleepy child, yawning and climbing the eastern horizon, and the golden sunlight swayed into every corner of the courtyard like light and rain.

Crunch...... With a crisp sound, the door of a small wooden house in the southwest corner of the courtyard was opened, and a half-hundred woman with her hair tied in a bun and dressed in a coarse linen cloth came out of it.

The half-hundred-woman is Mu Feng's mother-Mingli, since marrying into the Muhu family, he has become the "strong backing" of the family.

Mu Hu is responsible for hunting outside and teaching other villagers in the ethereal town the alchemy technique, while she is responsible for taking care of the three Mu Feng siblings.

He carried a basin of water, walked quickly, and as usual, was about to rush to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

At this moment, a pig-like scream suddenly came from the wooden house directly east of the small courtyard: "It's painful for me to die! Second brother, you are too ruthless!"

The sudden screams broke the silence of dawn in the small courtyard, and also frightened Mingli, her hands trembled, and the wooden basin in her hand rolled to the ground, and the ground was suddenly wet.

"Three...... Third brother, I, I didn't mean to hit you, but because it was too dark last night, and you appeared extremely abruptly, I ......."

"I don't care! From today onwards, you are not allowed to live with me anymore, I want to live here alone. ”

In the wooden house where Mu Feng was located, there were noises one after another.

When Mingli heard this, she couldn't help but show a wry smile on her slightly dull yellow face, and muttered to herself: "What the hell are these two little cubs doing?" ”

Then, he leaned over and moved the tub to the open space beside him, walked quickly to the door of the wooden house directly east of the courtyard, and waved it open.

The next moment, he was amused by the scene in front of him.

Mu Yuchen bare his round belly, lying flat on the bed, his face was blue and purple, and the fat on his belly was also red, and the whole person looked fatter than yesterday.

After the sunlight outside the door was projected into the house, all the red and swollen places on his body looked more "pleasant", and the whole person looked like a little suckling pig that had just been stripped of its hair.

Ten years old is the age of children's snooze.

Next to the bed, Mu Feng held a thin quilt, curled up, yawning, and the whole person was as lazy as a kitten that had not woken up yet.

After the door was opened, a gust of cold wind rushed down the aisle and quickly rushed towards the two people on the bed.

Mu Feng shivered coldly, the sleepiness that was entwined in his mind was swept away, and his dark eyes instantly returned to their clarity.

"Mother!"

He jumped out of bed, removed a tiger skin jacket from the hanger on one side, draped it over his body, stopped in front of Mingli, and bowed down and shouted.

"Mother, look at these wounds on my body, these are the masterpieces of the second brother yesterday. ”

Mu Yuchen was shivering from the cold wind, he shouted while pulling the futon from the bed, and quickly wrapped himself into a "big zongzi".

"Feng'er, you go and prepare, today is your first time hunting in the mountains, everything must be cautious. ”

Mingli did not step forward to comfort Mu Yuchen, but leaned over to straighten Mu Feng's shirt and said warmly.

Mu Feng wrinkled the bridge of his nose slightly, and his small eyes burst out with excitement, and said.

"Thanks to Mother, the child will go and prepare a quiver and a bow. ”

After saying that, he removed a fox fur knitted trouser leg from the hanger on one side, quickly dressed neatly, opened his calves, and rushed straight to the wooden house directly north of the small courtyard.

"Mother, you just said that the second brother was going to go hunting with his father. On the bed, Mu Yuchen's eyes widened, and his face was incredible.

Mingli walked quickly to the edge of the bed, leaned over and sat on the bed, stretched out her hand to stuff the futon for Mu Yu, and said warmly.

"Your father has decided that every hunting wind in the future will follow him into the mountains. ”

"Mother, I'm going to go into the mountains to hunt too. Mu Yuchen's fat little face showed a hint of yearning, and his voice was very eager.

A wry smile appeared on Mingli's face again, and she shook her head lightly and said.

"Chen'er, if you really want to be like your second brother, you can recuperate at home in the past few days. When the swelling on your body subsides, your second brother will take the time to supervise your alchemy technique. ”

"Mother, the second brother's punch yesterday didn't hurt my lungs, he hit me right in the stomach, and this injury is not ...... at all Shh

As he spoke, Mu Yuchen stood up, and just as he wanted to raise his arm, there was a hot pain in his belly and armpits.

"You little mischievous people really don't let people live in peace. Mother promised you that as long as you practiced the Battle of Heaven with Feng'er in the future, Mother would persuade your father to let him agree to let you go into the mountain with you. ”

Mingli showed a trace of helplessness on her face and said softly.

Then, she got up and took Mu Yuchen's clothes from the hanger on the side of the bed, and put one of the tiger skin tops on the latter's body with her backhand.

"Your father once said: The plan of the day lies in the morning, and the early morning is the purest moment of the essence of the heavens, the earth, the sun and the moon. If you want to follow them into the mountains as soon as possible, get up early and practice the Battle of the Heavens. ”

After saying that, Mingli turned around and walked out of the wooden house, turned over her hand to cover the door, walked quickly to the place where the wooden basin had been overturned, picked up the wooden basin, and continued to walk towards the kitchen.

Ordinary life, calm town, such a life is already the greatest blessing for Mingli.

Like the other villagers in the ethereal town, Mingli never had the idea of leaving the town, but she couldn't stop Muhu's yearning for the outside world.

Time always flies by inadvertently.

An hour has passed......

Mu Feng carried a bag of quivers, held a half-meter-long red curved bow in his left hand, and held a one-meter-long black iron spear in his right hand.

"Feng'er, today is the first time to enter the mountain, everything must be careful. ”

"Mother rest assured, I will definitely follow my father's side and will never stay away. ”

Mu Feng danced the black iron spear in his hand, and his handsome little face was full of excitement.

Although his stature is not very strong, he has a powerful force comparable to two oxen.

The red curved bow and the black iron spear were both weapons that Mu Hu had long built for the two brothers, Mu Feng and Mu Yuchen.

Ten years have passed, and the traces of time have not taken away Mu Hu's healthy physique, but made his body look more burly and strong, one meter eight big, arms thicker than ordinary people's thighs, walking tiger and tiger, making people daunting.

He carried several pieces of coarse hemp rope on his shoulders, a bag of quivers on his back, a seven-foot iron spear with a dark body in his right hand, and a large yellow bow more than a meter high in his left hand.

The bowstrings of the hunting bows in the hands of the two are made of four or five tiger tendons, and the material for making the bow body is also the peach wood of decades-old annual rings.

"Husband, the wind is still small, you must be more careful when entering the mountains this time. Mingli put one hand on Mu Feng's shoulder, turned to look at Mu Hu, and her slightly dull yellow face was full of worry.

Mu Hu raised his head and glanced at the sun in the east and said.

"When a nestling enters the forest, there must be difficulties, and only after a long time of tempering can the wind grow up as soon as possible. ”

"Husband ......".

"Okay, it's past the hour, we must rush to Momiji Mountain as soon as possible, otherwise we won't be able to turn back before the unitary time. ”

Mu Hu interrupted Mingli's words, and then, with a wave of his right arm, motioned for Mu Feng to prepare to go.

"Second brother, after you enter the mountain, you must bring me a beautiful red leaf back. ”

"Second brother, I want a leather coat with a patterned leopard. ”

......

"You two don't make trouble, Mu Feng, go!"

Mu Hu's expression was a little angry.

The myth of ghosts and gods in the Shenlong Empire is popular all over the country, and some people who go into the mountains to hunt are most taboo to talk too much with their families before setting off.

"Mother, Feng'er farewell!"

Mu Feng bowed to Mingli and saluted.

The moment he got up, he secretly made a gesture of "everything is on me" at Mu Xiaoyue and Mu Yuchen.

The cold wind was murmuring, and it was the hour of the transition between the hour and the hour, and few people walked on the avenues of the ethereal town.

Mu Hu and Mu Feng went into the mountains to hunt this time, and they did not inform the other villagers in the town.

Stomp ......

Soon, the figures of the two disappeared into the streets south of the ethereal town.

"Feng'er, did you ever carry that piece of beast bone that your father gave you yesterday?"

"Father, please see, there is a warm air flow inside this diamond-shaped animal bone, which is very warm, and I can still use it to keep warm in my arms. ”

On the sheep farm trail leading to Red Leaf Mountain, Mu Feng took out the diamond-shaped beast bone from his arms, pinched one end with his right hand, and handed it to Mu Hu.

At this moment, a cyan brilliance flashed in the palm of Mu Feng's right hand.

At this moment, the wooden tiger looked down at the diamond-shaped beast bone, the cyan light was like a bolt of lightning, the speed was as fast as a rainbow, and it disappeared in a flash, without a trace.

"Again!"

His pupils shrank, and his heart was shocked.

"Father, give!"

Mu Feng didn't notice the fleeting cyan brilliance, he raised his right hand, and his little face was full of excitement.

Mu Hu tried his best to calm his mind, and took the diamond-shaped beast bone with his hand, and the moment he started it, he also felt a refreshing warm feeling like a hot spring.

"A strange energy fluctuation was actually derived from this beast bone, could it be caused by the invisible silk silk in the palm of Feng'er's right hand. ”

He looked stunned, and a piece of blue-gray silk more than a foot long appeared in his mind.

For four years, he had repeatedly investigated everything about the diamond-shaped beast bones, and had never found such a strange scene as today.

"Father, why did a cyan glow suddenly appear in the palm of my right hand yesterday, and why did the blue-gray silk silk suddenly disappear without a trace. ”

Mu Feng looked up at Mu Hu's cheek, this question had been buried in his heart all night.

"Feng'er, don't spread this matter, after you cultivate to the Muscle and Bone Realm, your father will tell you everything. ”

Mu Hu said earnestly.

As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced in the direction of Red Leaf Village, and a touch of gloom couldn't help but appear on his face.
