Nanshan Village is next to the Wild Mountain Range, which is full of fierce beasts, and it is said that there are monsters in the depths of the mountain range. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Although the villagers make a living from hunting, they don't dare to go too deep. In order to prevent wild beasts from rushing out of the mountain and harming the villagers, the villagers spent several generations of efforts to mine a hard stone from the mountain and build a wall, which built the entire Nanshan village, and Ming Xiao's home was on the edge of the wall, next to the mountain.
Ming Xiao walked along the path to the door of the house, and Ming Xiao first listened to the movement in the house. Then he looked around suspiciously. He crept up to the window and looked through the small hole in the window.
Then he pushed open the door, "King Ben, I'm back, the little ones come to greet me," and immediately ran to his room and locked the door.
At this time, there was a burst of angry scolding from the room, Ming Chaoyang held his pants in one hand and an oversized cigarette stick in the other, and ran to Ming Xiao's door angrily
"You rabbit cub open the door," at this time, Liu Mei also came out of the room in disheveled clothes. "Forget it, hurry up and chop wood. Ming Xiao must have been hungry when he first came back. ”
After Ming Chaoyang heard this, he was very reluctant, "But just now"
"What did you just say, if you don't go to chop wood, the old lady won't be able to enter the door at night" After speaking, Ming Chaoyang immediately ran to the garden, picked up a rusty axe, and easily split a man-high wood in half.

Ming Xiao will go back to the room and take out the cloth bag that he stole from the guards in Jiming Town yesterday, the cloth belt is very shabby. Ming Xiao opened the bag and looked at it, "Damn, there's nothing, it's a big loss this time." A gatekeeper actually carried a broken bag."
Ming Xiao was angry on the spot, like throwing away the cloth belt, "Ming Xiao, come out to eat." When Ming Xiao heard this, he threw the bag directly into a corner and went out to eat.
The cloth belt was thrown on top of a pile of stones, and around the stones there were some worn armor, weapons, etc. What Ming Xiao didn't expect was that the cloth bag in the corner was emitting a faint glow.
After Ming Xiao finished eating. "Mom, I'm going to Li Jiaotou's house to exercise," after speaking, Ming Xiao ran towards the door
Ming Chaoyang grabbed Ming Xiao, "It's so early, isn't it another hour to exercise?"
"Li Jiaotou said, I haven't exercised in the past two days, and I have to make up for it in the afternoon" Ming Chaoyang looked at Ming Xiao, he couldn't shout before, why is he so well-behaved today.
"I'll go if it's okay, Li Jiaotou said that he was late and wanted to invite parents" When Ming Chaoyang heard that he wanted to invite parents, he thought of Li Jiaotou's face. immediately let go of Ming Xiao, he didn't want to have a long talk with Li Jiaotou for an afternoon.
Li Jiaotou's home is about 500 meters south of Mingxiao's house. Ming Xiao walked out of the door of the house, and did not go directly to Ming Xiao's house, but came to the door of Aunt Wang's house next door.
Ming Xiao shouted softly a few times, "Huahua, are you there" After a while, Huahua walked out of the door, "Mingxiao, what are you doing?"
"I'm here to borrow something from you this time" Huahua saw that Mingxiao's voice was very small, so she patted Mingxiao, "Don't worry, my mother is asleep." ”
Hearing this, Ming Xiao's voice suddenly became louder. "I just want to borrow Aunt Wang, use the hairpin"
Huahua heard that Ming Xiao wanted to borrow a hairpin, and was very curious, "What do you want to borrow a hairpin for?"
"I don't want to go to exercise in the afternoon, I plan to find a way to support Teach Lee. That's how I can sneak out into the back mountains to play."
"You can borrow it, but you have to take me with you"
Ming Xiao glanced at Huahua and thought about it carefully. "If you don't take me there, I won't borrow your hairpin"
Ming Xiao saw Huahua say this. "Okay then, but you have to be obedient on the way. Otherwise, there are a lot of big bad wolves on the mountain that specialize in eating little girls."
"Hmph, I'm not afraid, you've told this story several times, don't try to scare me back" Ming Xiao covered her forehead when she heard Huahua's words, okay. Count you awesome. Let's go to Sect Leader's house.
Li Jiaotou's house is different from other village houses, it is made of cyan stones, and the whole house is smeared with mortar on the outside, and a layer of stones is laid on the outside, so Li Jiaotou's house is the largest in the village.
Ming Xiao took Huahua, and the two came to Li Jiaotou's house. Ming Xiao secretly removed a stone brick from one wall, and then gently poked it in with a bamboo stick.
I saw a person's voice coming from the room, "Brother Xiao, you're here, it just so happens that my dad is cooking"
After Ming Xiao heard the sound of the small stone, you wait for me at home, and I will come back immediately."
Ming Xiao took Huahua's hand and came to the door of Li Jiaotou's house, and whispered a few words in Huahua's ear.
Huahua was about to raise her hand and knock on the door in disbelief, and glanced at Ming Xiao, "Is this really okay?" "Don't worry, it's okay." That's it. Hurry up and knock, I'll go and hide from the side."
After speaking, Ming Xiao took out the hairpin from his arms and put it on the ground. So he ran to the side and hid. But after a while, Ming Xiao didn't hear the knock on the door, so she raised her head and took a look, and found that Huahua was still hesitating in front of the door.
Ming Xiao saw Huahua like this, ran up directly and knocked on the door a few times. At this moment, a very deep voice came from the room. "Who" After Huahua heard Li Jiaotou's voice, she was so frightened that she wanted to run.
Ming Xiao hurriedly pulled Huahua and looked at her, "You can do it, just do it according to my method"
Huahua looked at Ming Xiao very uneasily, "Is this really okay?" "No problem, trust me" At this time, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and when Ming Xiao heard it, he immediately ran to the side and hid.
Squeak. They were pushed away, and one was over 8 feet tall and looked like a bear's waist. A middle-aged man with a stubble on his face appeared at the door. This is Xiao Shi's father, Li Jiaotou.
It is said that when Li Jiaotou was young, he later served as a soldier in a big city outside. Later, for some unknown reason, a person came to Nanshan Village with a small stone, and the villagers of Nanshan Village kindly accepted him. Since Nanshan Village had Li Jiaotou, the number of prey hunted has doubled compared to the past. Even the bluestone bricks for building this house were found by Li Jiaotou from the mountains, and they were much harder than the stone bricks used to build ordinary houses.
"Huahua, what are you doing here, did your mother ask you to come to me? Flowey didn't speak. He just looked at Li Jiaotou with a very strange look for a while, then turned around and ran back. It made Li Jiao dizzy.
After a while, Li Jiaotou picked up the hairpin on the ground, "How can this hairpin be on the ground, does Huahua want to show what it means?"
Li Jiaotou pondered for a while. "Son, you go and tell that little ghost of the Ming family, you don't need to exercise in the afternoon. Your dad and I have something to do in the afternoon. After speaking, Li Jiaotou walked towards Aunt Wang's house.
When Xiao Shi heard his father leaving, he immediately ran out. Seeing Ming Xiao and Huahua squatting under the stone wall not far away, they immediately ran over. "Brother Xiao, I didn't expect you to really have a way. ”
"That is, you don't look at who I am. ”
"However, if Li Jiaotou goes to my house, not everything will be in trouble."
"Don't worry, Li Jiaotou will definitely hide in front of Aunt Wang's house, look at Aunt Wang from a distance, and then want to find a corner and quietly throw the hairpin in after an afternoon. I've seen him many times when I've gone to steal chickens, and it's an afternoon at a stop. ”
"Mingxiao, when did you go to my house to steal chickens again. When Huahua heard that Ming Xiao went to his house to steal chickens, her eyes looked at Ming Xiao fiercely.
"It doesn't matter, anyway, we have time now, let me tell you, some time ago I saw a big stone cave in the mountain, not far from the outer edge of the mountain. There wasn't even a beast on it, so it was particularly safe. Let's go there in a moment. ”
"Is there really not a single beast, I heard that there seem to be a lot of beasts lately, and even my dad has been injured a few times. Huahua on the side also echoed, "Yes, Mingxiao, it's too dangerous on the mountain."
"Don't worry, don't be afraid even if you have a wild motle," after speaking, Ming Xiao took out a box from his arms, "This is what I picked up over there before." You see."
Little Stone and Flowey looked at the box. "Isn't it just a box, what's so strange. ”
"yes, it's not as good as my box. "Huahua is very puzzled by the idea that Ming Xiao will take out an old box and dare to go up the mountain"
Ming Xiao looked at the puzzled faces of the two playmates in front of her. "Of course, it's not just an old box," he said, taking a few steps back. Pressed it with his hand somewhere in the box. Suddenly, Ming Xiao disappeared from the eyes of the two of them all at once.
"Ah, Brother Xiao, it's gone" Xiao Shi was very surprised and pointed to the location where Ming Xiao had disappeared. Huahua also looked at it blankly, very puzzled.
At this time, Mingxiao suddenly appeared next to Huahua, and Huahua was so frightened that she almost fell down when she saw Mingxiao who suddenly appeared.
"Brother Xiao, what kind of treasure are you, so powerful. ‘
"Awesome, I've tried this baby, this baby can make the person holding him invisible. There are also people who can touch the box and become invisible. With it, we don't have to be afraid of any wild beasts."
"Wow, Mingxiao, you're amazing, you have such a powerful treasure. ”
"Don't worry, I'll send you a few more powerful when I go back later. As long as you put on the clothes I gave you and show me," Ming Xiao looked at Huahua with a wicked smile.
Flowey's face flushed. "You hate it, I won't play with you anymore"
"Let's hurry up, otherwise others will see it and tell my dad, and we will be miserable"
"Yes, if I let Sect Leader Li find out, I will be dragged into skin if I don't die. Let's hurry up," the group walked along the path towards the hill.
