Chapter 356: Rite of Passage

The next morning, the morning glow had already fallen, and the small mountain village was smeared with a touch of golden light.

Mu Hao got up, he didn't know why, he got up so early today, and after washing, he wanted to go to the mountains to see if the trap he had set up had caught the prey.

Mu Hao walked out of the wooden house, but at this moment, he saw a figure on the hill behind him, and that figure was his father.

"Dad, I don't know why I don't make you angry, but I'll definitely satisfy you..." Mu Hao shook his head and sighed, and walked slowly, he walked very slowly, and similarly, he walked very carefully, without making any sound, here, it was still quiet.

When he arrived in the woods, Mu Hao's brows furrowed, his face was solemn, revealing the steadiness and caution that he should not have at his age, and he walked quickly through the woods, like a nimble monkey.

Ahead, there is a meadow, which looks the same as other places, but here, it is the place where Mu Hao hunts, and in the meadow, there are traps.

Mu Hao crawled beside the grass, breathing evenly, trying his best to adjust his state, like a beast dormant.

Half an hour later, the temperature had begun to climb, and the morning breath was gone, in exchange for a scorching heat.

On Mu Hao's forehead, there was fine sweat overflowing, but in his eyes, there was a look of perseverance, and he still did not move a bit, which is also the hunting spirit he has cultivated over the years.

"This is the time when the beast likes to come out the most, if you don't ambush it early, it will alarm the beast..."

"Yes, it's coming..."

Mu Hao muttered in his heart, his immature face showed a kind of wisdom that did not belong to a child, but the red on his face was unusually conspicuous.

After a while, there was a rustling sound from time to time, Mu Hao's heart was shocked, his eyes were staring at the grass tightly, and there was a sickle in his hand, which was tightly held at the moment.

Inside, a huge snake head was exposed, this snake was very big, twice as big as Mu Hao, at this moment, Mu Hao tried his best to adjust his mentality, without the slightest panic.

After hesitating, the giant snake spit out the letter and slowly moved towards Mu Hao's trap.

Mu Hao's eyes showed essence, but then he found that the giant snake did not enter the trap, but hovered beside it, as if hesitating.

"This snake obviously has some intelligence, it should be about to become a sperm..."Mu Hao's eyes shrank, he heard his father say that he became a spirit beast, but it can become a spirit beast, not a mortal can resist.

In the end, the giant snake actually showed some signs of leaving, Mu Hao saw this, hesitated, picked up the sickle, and slashed at his hand.

A small piece of flesh was cut off, and it was thrown into the grass by Mu Hao, with the smell of blood, permeating the grass.

The giant snake, with a sudden shock, crawled towards the grass, and when its body fell into the grass, the grass sank directly, revealing a large pit, underneath, there were wooden nails, and the giant snake died before it could even struggle.

Mu Hao took out a little herb from his chest and bit it, then applied it to the wound on his hand, bandaged it, and looked at the huge pit, inside, there was a big snake.

......

When Mu Hao carried the big snake into the village, everyone's eyes were focused on Mu Hao's body, and even other peers looked at him with surprised eyes.

"Dad, look what I caught..."Mu Hao carried the giant snake to the door of his house, and then threw it at the door.

Mu Shan walked out of it, and at a glance, he saw the big snake, his eyes showed surprise, looked at Mu Hao, and smiled.

The news that Mu Hao is good at hunting, starting from this big snake, gradually spread fame, and even in the market, many people know Mu Hao.

In this bazaar, there is a family member, the old man of the family used to be an official, and now he has returned to his hometown, but there are still a lot of relationships in his hands, and many officials need to give face.

"Mu Hao, an expert hunter...", the outsider slowly took the tea in his hand and muttered.

On weekdays, this person also likes to hunt, but his hunting skills are not good, and it is difficult to catch prey, and he is also a little interested in this Mu Hao, but now he has seen through a lot, and he did not ask someone to invite Mu Hao over.

Time passed slowly, and it was a few spring and autumn seasons, and now Mu Hao looks handsome and extraordinary, but the red at the center of his eyebrows is unusually bright.

It also makes Mu Hao at this moment a little weird, almost everyone thinks so, but there are a few people, but they don't believe it, one of them is Yudie.

Today's rain butterfly is not the immature little girl at the beginning, she in the village, she grows out of the water hibiscus, which makes people look at it, as if she is not a mortal person, and she is very refined.

"Tomorrow, it will be my coming-of-age ceremony, and Sister Yudie will definitely come, Daddy, my coming-of-age ceremony is different from others..."Mu Hao muttered, sitting on the top of the mountain, looking at the starry sky in the sky, the night is very quiet.

From time to time, a breeze blew, lifting the corners of Mu Hao's clothes, and with his thoughts, he was biased into the distance.

"Yudie, I remember you, I like to see the full moon, but I like to see the lack of the moon, because the incomplete will always hope for perfection..."

"They all looked at me with strange eyes, just because I had a touch of red in the center of my eyebrows, and I already knew this..."

"Only you are different, you still like to call me Brother Mu Hao..."

Mu Hao smiled slightly, and suddenly, a butterfly came and landed on Mu Hao's shoulder, and then, it seemed that Mu Hao was admiring the moon together.

The next day, many people came to Mu Hao's house, and among these people, almost all of them were from small mountain villages, and the most conspicuous of them was the rain butterfly in a white shirt, which was extremely eye-catching.

Many young people deliberately get closer, looking for opportunities to talk.

Mu Hao, walked out of the house, today he is very handsome, many girls, all at this moment, spring heart rippling.

Mu Hao saw Yu Die, and similarly, Yu Die also looked at Mu Hao.

The eyes of the two condensed at this moment, it seemed that time was standing still, and all the sounds disappeared at this moment, only the two clusters of eyes were blazing.

Mu Shan walked out of the house, today, he is dressed a little majestic, not ordinary as usual, within seven years, he is safe, he will be the Taoist priest's words, has almost forgotten.

Especially seeing Mu Hao's rapid growth, my heart is also comforting.

"Folks, today is my son Mu Hao's coming-of-age ceremony, and I believe that he will be able to withstand your challenges..."Mu Shan clenched his fists and said to those who came.

The so-called coming-of-age ceremony, almost all the young people in the village can come to challenge Mu Hao, if he catches the challenge, it means that Mu Hao is no longer a child, if not, it means that Mu Hao, even if he is an adult, is not as good as a child.

Mu Hao took a step, his gaze fell on Yu Die from time to time, looking at Yu Die's face was slightly red, and his heartbeat seemed to speed up a lot.

"Brother Mu, I can't compare to the hunting skills, do you dare to pretend to be a wrist..."

A young man with a somewhat strong body walked out, with a rough face, looked at Mu Hao, twisted his neck, and seemed to be a little unhappy, especially when he saw Mu Hao looking at Yudie, the unhappiness in his heart was even stronger.

"Please also ask my brother to concede..."Mu Hao hugged his fists and saluted, this action was very decent, and the others were a little surprised, after all, Mu Hao had not learned etiquette, but he knew the number of etiquette.

The two of them held their wrists together, and after starting, in an instant, they saw the muscles in their hands bulging, and even the table was a little trembling.

Mu Hao, after all, won, and won easily, he has been hunting since he was a child, often fighting with wild boars, and his strength is already extraordinary.

The next challenges were accepted by Mu Hao one by one, and he won the victory, and Mu Shan's face was also full of smiles.

In the end, almost all of them were speechless, and they also admired Mu Hao, in their hearts, there was no intrigue, Mu Hao was stronger than them, that is, strong.

"Brother Mu, since we can't compare to you, but not much worse, is there any way to make us better..."

Some people raised questions, after all, Mu Hao before was also a narrow victory, not too prominent.

Mu Hao smiled, looked at Yudie, and then turned to everyone and said.

"Today, I'll make a poem, bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to ......" Mu Hao said slowly, but as soon as he said this, almost everyone looked at Mu Hao in surprise, after all, there are only two literate people in the village, and Mu Hao can't afford to go to school, where did he get the article.

But even if he didn't believe it, he still took pen and ink from the old gentleman.

Mu Hao smiled and wrote quickly on the paper, the calligraphy was elegant, even those who were illiterate felt the smooth writing.

"If the heart is clear, how can he love Fan,

Panyue also had a pity.

The wind in the rain is light and fluttering,

Butterflies dance with their wings rippling. ”

Mu Hao looked at the poem in his hand, and then stretched out his hand and handed it to Yu Die, at this moment, Mu Hao's hand was also a little trembling, especially the red above his eyebrows, which was unusually bright.

Yudie looked at Mu Hao's poem, her eyes were slightly red, but in her heart, she was extremely excited.

"I look forward to the rain butterfly..."The rain butterfly silently recited this poem in her heart, and her mood fluctuated.

"How is it, do you like it?" Mu Hao took two steps towards the rain butterfly a little unnaturally, now, it is no longer a child, you can't scratch the rain butterfly's nose at will, but you have grown up and have passed the coming-of-age ceremony.

"It's okay..."Yu Die glanced at Mu Hao and smiled slightly, but in her heart, it was sweet.

That is, on this day, Mu Hao composed poems at the coming-of-age ceremony and spread them, after all, even in the bazaar, there are very few people who can read, and those who are literate have also become some shopkeepers, and Mu Hao's poems have been passed on to the bazaar.

To the south of this bazaar, there is a big mansion, in which lives an outsider, and at this moment, the poem is in the hands of the outsider.

"Hunting expert, I didn't expect that the literary talent is also quite high, since this is the case, I naturally want to meet each other, remember Xiaoxiang, it's time to get married..."
