......

On a long slope, there is a herd of cattle and sheep on the green and yellow turf, chewing the grass roots vigorously, and from time to time there are a few complaining cries, obviously not particularly satisfied with the food given by nature.

An uncle wore a fur hat and a little helplessness on his dark face, and said to his cattle and sheep: "Some of them eat well." ”

There is a grass pond lake under the long slope, and in the rainy season, there will be a stream along the top of the long slope to irrigate down, so that the whole long slope is covered with green grass, and you can see the scene of a hundred flowers in full bloom, and finally all the water will be injected into the pond lake, nourishing the woods, grasslands, and villages around the pond and lake......

Chihu Village is a common grazing village in the upper urban area, and many villages also rely on such ponds.

It is also strange to say, many ponds and lakes have dried up, but the ponds and lakes in this pond lake village have not changed much, the water level has not dropped, and you can see a black wooden waterwheel next to the water is still running slowly.

"Uncle Zhan!Uncle Zhan!!"

In front of the village, a young man ran to the front of the village from outside, and shouted with some uncontrollable joy to a simple wooden house in front of the village.

At this time, several ladies who were washing clothes at the lake turned around, looked at the young man, and said, "Isn't this Li Shaoying, I heard my man say that you have arrived at the Dragon Training Academy, don't herd sheep, don't herd cattle, you're going to herd dragons?"

"What does the dragon look like?" asked the lady in red.

"Lizards, big lizards. ”

"Can you plow the land?"

"I can't. ”

Li Shaoying looked around, but didn't see her uncle, so she had to go back to the entrance of the village and ask about these laundry ladies.

"Aunt Zhou, where is my uncle?" asked Li Shaoying.

"Your uncle, what are you asking me for, do you want my man to hear it, how tormenting it is?" said Aunt Zhou, who wore a padded jacket.

"????" Li Shaoying looked at this charming Zhou Auntie, I don't know why, he feels that the other party is not recruiting himself, is it difficult......

"Your uncle went to Changpo to graze, and he heard that you were often bullied in the academy, and he thought if he could sell all the cattle and sheep, and get you some beads, saying that he could make you a big treasure and turn into a dragon...... No, this year's weather is not good, the cattle and sheep are too thin, they can't be sold at a good price, and he also goes to graze on days off. The lady in red said.

"On a day off, didn't there be some official documents in the city, so that our herdsmen should try not to run around, so as not to be taken by some monsters. ”

"Yes, yes, my man came back from the market town a few days ago, and he heard that a family in the village of the Black Forest was eaten, but it was terrifying. Aunt Zhou said.

"Isn't it scary again?" said the lady in red.

"It's true, I've been going out less recently, and I'm also asking your baby not to go to see the cows and sheep, there are trolls in the activities, and our academy has organized all the staff to eliminate the demons. Li Shaoying said hurriedly.

Why are the people in the village so late aware, the matter is very serious!

My own uncle is too, what kind of grazing do you have in winter, that little bit of grass is eaten, and the cattle and sheep will not grow much meat, but will be eaten by demons!

"Why don't you go and kill demons?" asked Aunt Zhou.

"This ......," Li Shaoying said with some embarrassment.

"Aren't you a student at the Dragon Training Academy, that's the dragon baby......"

"It's a dragon herder!" Li Shaoying had lines on his black forehead.

"Yes, they all said that if you go to the academy, you will be very powerful, you can control the dragon, if there are demons...... Oh, I see, Shaoying, you are really a good boy, you know that there is danger in the village, and you deliberately ran back to protect us?" said another thin lady.

When the other laundry ladies heard this, they all looked over.

"Let's just say that Li Shaoying is the most promising in our village, which is like the Hai family, who became a petty official, and he didn't even want to help us repair some fences to block wild beasts. ”

"That's really remarkable, those who can enter the Dragon Training Academy must be different from those laymen!"

"I've heard about cannibalism, and I've been woken up scared when I sleep at night these days. ”

For a while, all the aunts praised Li Shaoying, and Li Shaoying was embarrassed to hear it.

The power of the eldest ladies is very strong in the village, what they praise, the whole village praises, and what they belittle, the whole village will be disgusted and rejected.

"It's all at this time, why hasn't your uncle come back yet. The lady in red glanced at the sky and said.

"Aunt Wang, how long has my uncle been there?" asked Li Shaoying.

"Went early in the morning. ”

"How do you know that?" asked the lady in the padded jacket.

"I saw it. ”

"Why don't you see anyone else?"

"I've seen other people...... too"

Li Shaoying frowned at this time.

The long slope comes and goes so big, if you go out in the morning, you can come back at noon, and it is impossible to leave it all day.

Thinking of what Aunt Wang said, Li Shaoying's heart was even more sour.

"I'll take a look, big lady, you'd better go back to the house, trolls are real, very dangerous, and if the trolls wandering around smell the smell of your living people, they will sneak over. Li Shaoying advised.

After speaking, Li Shaoying ran in the direction of Changpo.

After running away, Li Shaoying found that the eldest ladies were still talking and laughing there, and they didn't take the trolls seriously, which made him even more helpless.

After all, the village is still too backward, including in terms of news.

It's not just the tragedy of those families being eaten that they heard about, when he and Nan Ye and their team arrived in Mid-Levels City, a town was slaughtered, and Nan Ye and many of the Dragon Training Academy teams went there.

......

Running to the long slope, Li Shaoying was anxious.

Uncle is leading a herd of cattle and sheep, and cattle and sheep are also the target of some fierce demon spirits, and it is extremely dangerous to encounter wolves in the plains, let alone monsters!

The sky began to darken, and it was only three or four o'clock in the afternoon, but it was no different from the evening, and the thick clouds and haze sucked all the light out of the sky, making the vast land dark......

The wind began to be strong, and Li Shaoying followed her uncle's usual grazing route.

Suddenly, Li Shaoying saw a bloodstain, which was scattered on the withered yellow mud and grass, and the bloodstains had some signs of drying and had begun to turn brown!

This made Li Shaoying even more flustered!

What an accident!!

Why do you want to go grazing, don't go out easily......

Why is Uncle Zhan always so stupid, such a big person, can't he distinguish the priorities of things!

It was another shocking piece of blood, and Li Shaoying even stepped on it, slipped directly to the ground, and rolled all over her face with dirty blood.

This made Li Shaoying frightened, not only in blood, but also because he saw a white sheep in a pile of mud that was bitten to death......

The sheep had already died, and the blood had spread from his feet to more than ten meters away, and there were traces of struggle along the way!

It's really attacked!!

I blame myself, why I can't cross the threshold of the road, why I always compete with my classmates, so that my uncle doesn't have to sell cattle and sheep, and he doesn't have to graze at this time because the cattle and sheep are too thin!

When Li Shaoying saw the blood, she was scared and blamed herself, and her eyes turned red.

He took a deep breath and suppressed his fear of trolls.

Getting up and wiping the blood from his face, he continued to run forward......

I am a dragon herder, so I have no reason to be afraid of these monsters!

Not long after the sheep died, maybe the uncle was still alive.

"Shaoying?" Suddenly, a voice sounded.

Li Shaoying was startled, because he had just wiped the blood from his face, and his vision was clear.

"Uncle Zhan!!" Li Shaoying saw that it was her uncle, and pounced excitedly.

"Why did you come back, weren't you at the Dragon Training Academy, didn't you say that you wouldn't come back if you didn't become a dragon herder?" Uncle Zhan asked in confusion.

"When did you still run out to graze, you will die, there is an trolls!" Li Shaoying said a little uncontrollably.

"You're worried about me. Uncle Zhan had a hint of relief on his face, patted Li Shaoying with his hand, and comforted him.

When Li Shaoying was four years old, her parents passed away due to cold disease, and Uncle Zhan lived next door to his house, so he adopted Li Shaoying.

Li Shaoying is different from other children in the village, she always has a lot of respect for the outside world, and she always likes to read the books she brought back from the market.

Uncle Zhan also knew that he wanted to become a dragon herder, instead of nesting in this small place all the time, in addition to herding cattle and sheep or herding cattle and sheep......

Li Shaoying cried for a while, and saw that Uncle Zhan had no scars on his body, and he was followed by a herd of cattle and sheep.

Looking at the white sheep who died tragically not far away, Li Shaoying asked, "Uncle, how did you get rid of the trolls?"

"What a trolls, a few coyotes bit the sheep while I wasn't paying attention, but fortunately, the others were saved, otherwise I wouldn't be able to pay the tuition next year. Uncle Zhan said.

The first year of entry to How to Train Your Dragon is free, but the fee increases every year after that.

This system, on the one hand, is to screen out students who are not qualified to become dragon herders, and on the other hand, it is also to charge high fees to those powerful and wealthy children who rely on the academy to supplement some resources for those grassroots students.

"Uncle, I may not be able to become a dragon herder. Li Shaoying's tears hadn't been wiped away yet, and she couldn't help but shed a few drops.

The classmates around him are either constantly advancing, getting closer and closer to the dragon gate, or they have already crossed the dragon gate and become a real dragon herder, only they are standing still, and the bighorn cow has no signs of advancement, let alone the young spirit bird that he adopted.

"Be confident, get rid of the possibility. Uncle Zhan patted Li Shaoying on the shoulder and said.

Li Shaoying almost stepped on the empty mud floor, and stumbled a few steps before leveling herself.

"I've been raising cattle and sheep for more than ten years, can you not know whether a cow is a cow or not, whether a sheep is a sheep or not? The bighorn cow is special, but it is still a cow after all. Uncle Zhan said.

"Uncle, you can really comfort me. Li Shaoying burst into tears, couldn't stop it, couldn't stop it.

"Let's go back, it's getting late. Uncle Zhan said.

"Yes. ”
