"Chapter Twenty-Eight: Shi Niang's Clue"
The wax moon of the cloud country is as cold as all over Yanbian, and the two of them walk in the sky, against the roaring cold wind, although they use their spiritual power to dissolve the ice crystals condensed on the surface of their bodies, but the snow that occasionally falls on the corners of their lips and sticks to their ears still stirs those sensitive nerves. Despite the bad weather, the two flew at full speed as promised.
It was past the afternoon, and when the first life was a little lacking in spiritual power, and the Qi Returning Pill was difficult to replenish, the two of them stopped in a valley and rested for a while.
At this time, a ballad echoed between the valleys. "In this life and Jun Meng, I don't want to wake up in the world, and I chase the wind alone in the twilight of the winter night. ”
"Shi Niang!" The two of them had been sitting silently, but when Xia Feng heard the mountain song, he suddenly stood up and disappeared into the snow with a quick step.
"What a pair of crazy men and women. The newborn sighed and followed.
"Little friend, who taught you this ballad? Xia Feng walked through the forest for a thousand meters, and saw an unkempt child humming and picking up branches, so he asked in a low voice.
"Ahh
"Don't be afraid, I'm a good person. Xia Feng reached out from the spirit bag, took out a bag of candy and put it in the child's hand, and pulled him up from the snow casually. "Well, tell my brother who taught you this tune?"
When the child saw that this brother was dressed in brocade and jade satin and was so close, he no longer panicked, put away the bag of candy, blew his nose, and whispered, "Last night, I was fishing with Daddy in the river with ice, and a huge boat suddenly flew in the sky. There was a fairy sister on the boat who sang it repeatedly, and I heard that it was a good tune, so I wrote it down. ”
"Then have you found anything special?" Xia Feng finished speaking, took out another packet of candy from the spirit bag and put it in the child's hand.
"There's nothing special about it, it's just like the fairy sister threw something under the boat. Daddy said it wasn't ours and we couldn't pick it up. It fell on the other side of the mountain. The child said, pointing to the mountain in front of him.
Thinking that it must be the clue left by Shi Niang, Xia Feng didn't say much, and a flash disappeared again.
The unkempt boy saw that the summer breeze disappeared again, and twisted his face vigorously, and found that it was a little painful, not a dream. "Ahh
The newborn had just arrived, and when he saw Xia Feng dodge away again, he had no choice but to turn around and chase again.
After Xia Feng traveled to the mountain, he took out twenty or thirty paper figures from the spirit bag, and the paper figures surrounded Xia Feng and soared in the air. Xia Feng bit his fingers and punched out the magic seal, slid between the eyebrows of those paper figures, only to see that all the paper figures opened their eyes, and after clenching their fists, they turned around and flew away.
By the time the first born arrived behind the mountain, Xia Feng had already put an object in the spirit bag.
Xia Feng saw that the nascent spiritual power had not yet been connected, so he proposed to walk for a while before hurrying. The first born saw that Xia Feng didn't mention the things he picked up, so he didn't ask anymore.
The two embarked on the road to Yundu one after another. Nayundu is only 80,000 miles away from Zhuantang Town, and with the full strength of the two of them, it will take two weeks to arrive. So along the way, there were fewer words.
As the sun sets, the sky and the earth become pitch black, and after the last night in Zhuantang Town, the moon disk does not know where to hide, and the starry sky becomes a little gloomy.
"The night sky is moonless, the wind and snow cover your eyes, how about resting here tonight?" Xia Feng pointed to a farm in the mountains and said to the newborn.
"Good. The first born chased the faint light in the mountains, and saw a farm, and then nodded in response.
In order not to alarm the residents of Zhuangzhong and cause unnecessary trouble, the two of them stopped at the mountainside mountain with a sword and a tree, and walked into the village instead.
At night, the footsteps of the two of them in the snow disturbed the sleeping hounds in the farm. Walking to a hundred meters outside the village, the village had already barked continuously, and then there were bursts of hunters' beating and scolding.
In this situation, the first child can't help but recall his life before the age of eight.
In the village of Phantom Forest, there are dogs in every family. Because of the cold weather, the land has long been unable to grow food, and those forest beasts and birds are particularly alert, sometimes hiding in the snow, difficult to identify with the naked eye. This is where the hounds come in handy, the hounds of the Phantom Forest, although their legs are short, but their noses are very thick, even if there is frost on their noses, they can smell prey hidden several meters under the snow.
At that time, although the newborn was still young, he followed the adults into the mountains early to hunt, and sometimes he searched in the mountains for a day. Once a dog barks, the newborn is always the first to dig the snow. Once, there was a vegetable hidden in the snow, and he was accidentally bitten on the arm and was in a coma for more than half a month.
In my vague memory, I can only remember the tears by my mother's bedside, but I can't remember her face. He was only four years old at the beginning of that year.
Later, when she first recovered from her illness, her mother left the village in her father's footsteps and never returned. In the next four years of fragmented memories, the first born could only recall a sentence often said by the grandmother next door, "It's good to survive in such a cold winter." ”
"Knock knock!" the sound of the summer breeze knocking on the door woke up the newborn who was still in his memory.
"Child, her father, go and open the door. ”
"You know, didn't you see that I was finishing my work?"
There was a commotion from inside the door, and then the door was opened a small corner, and looking through the crack in the door, a thin, unkempt man with an axe was watching out the door warily.
"Farmer, my brother and I are passing through your village, and it is getting late, so I don't know if we can borrow it for one night. Xia Feng said as he took a piece of silver from the spirit bag and handed it over.
"It's easy to say, the two sons come in quickly. When the man saw the broken silver handed by Xia Feng, he immediately relaxed his vigilance and showed a smile.
"Child, Feng'er, there is a distinguished guest at home, go and pour some hot tea. The man yelled into the house as he invited the first born and Xia Feng to enter the door.
"What are you yelling about, where is the place where our birds don't...... the man's wife is also a temper tantrum and was about to scold, only to see Xia Feng and the first born have already stepped into the room. The village woman saw that Xia Feng was wearing a brocade dress and jade belt, and she was so handsome and had a male servant (because the newborn was wearing cloth clothes, although Junxiu was a little dark, she was misunderstood by the village woman. When the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.
"Childe drinks tea. Seeing that her mother was standing, the women of the village hurriedly brought a cup of hot water from the table and handed it to Xia Feng.
Xia Feng was about to open his mouth to drink, when he saw a few blisters floating on the water, he thought that Na Feng'er had already drunk it, so he handed the hot water to the first child. Feng'er on the side was originally full of anticipation, but when she saw Xia Feng handing it to the first child, her face changed slightly.
The first born naturally knew Xia Feng's little trick, and put the hot water on the table. Feng'er, who was originally a little lost, became even more depressed, and there were a few more cracks on her dry yellow face.
"There's no need to entertain, just make a room for us. Xia Feng saw that the couple was discussing something, so he took out another piece of broken silver and put it on the table.
"Yes, yes, let's go prepare. Feng'er, hurry, good life is entertained. The village woman quickly put the broken silver into her pocket and winked at her daughter.
"Got it, mother. Feng'er licked her chapped lips and replied.
The first born saw that Feng'er walking towards him, and took a step back without taking a step.
At this time, a loud noise came from the north of the village, and for a while, the demonic aura enveloped the entire village, and the hunting dogs in the village let out bursts of low barking.
"Ahh
The two of them flickered and left the farmhouse.
The monster's breath was only human-level, so the two of them were determined to destroy this thing.
It's just that poor Feng'er originally wanted to pounce into Xia Feng's arms, pretending to be a little bird, but she never thought that she pounced so fast, and she actually pounced. The two sons disappeared into the room for no reason, so frightened that Feng'er fell directly on the horse with weak feet.
