Chapter 14: Encounters

The moonlight is intoxicating, and the night is as cool as water. The breeze swept through the treetops, gently stirring the foliage. The night of the Water Moon Forest is exceptionally quiet today.

Xiao Duo didn't care about getting dressed, turned over from the moonlight hot springs and went ashore, and said loudly: "Light Flame! Come back when you hear it!" He was anxious, Light Flame and he grew up together, and for him, Light Flame is not only a sealing beast, but also his friend and important family member, at the moment he is not clear about the situation in the forest, Xiao Duo is afraid that Light Flame will make a mistake, and he rushed towards the forest naked.

After Ye Lin climbed ashore, he wanted to follow Xiao Duo, but he felt that it was very inappropriate to be so naked, so he hesitated, reached out and pulled a coat, wrapped it around his waist, and after a while, Xiao Duo was no longer visible. Ye Lin was anxious in his heart, and secretly scolded: "At this time, you still take care of your own image, Ye Lin, Ye Lin, you are really too unsuccessful!"

Xiao Duo rushed towards the sound, and when he got closer, he saw the figure of Guangyan. I saw that Guangyan was pressing a person, as if he was biting, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "Guangyan is fine! But why did that person provoke this stupid dog? He was actually pressed and bitten by it!"

Guangyan heard the master's voice, turned around and saw Xiao Duo, whimpered in his mouth, seemed to be very unhappy, let go of the person under him, and turned around and walked towards Xiao Duo. The man under it finally escaped the wolf's kiss, sat up, and said tremblingly: "What a vicious dog! It almost killed me! You are not a good master! Don't go, I must reason with you today!" I saw that the man looked quite embarrassed, and slowly stood up while cursing, it was a man in his 30s.

Guangyan crouched beside Xiao Duo and let out a low cry of dissatisfaction. Xiaoduo tapped its head, then looked at the man curiously. The man in front of him was dressed in gray cloth, his figure was quite tall, and he was a big man close to two meters by eye, his face was thin, he looked sick, and after standing up, he looked like a bamboo pole, standing there.

The bamboo pole was cursing, and suddenly saw Xiao Duo, his expression was stunned, and he scolded loudly: "In broad daylight, you are naked, what kind of body is it! Who are you children, how dangerous it is to be alone in this forest in the middle of the night!"

Xiaoduo pursed his lips, and secretly said in his heart: "I met a nerd again!" was about to reply, Ye Lin's voice came from behind: "Rude and rude!" The situation is really urgent, my brother was impulsive, and he broke the etiquette, and he still hopes that my brother is not strange." I saw Ye Lin standing not far away with his tattered cyan cloth around his waist, a few clothes in his hands, and an embarrassed expression.

Xiao Duo took the clothes and asked as he dressed, "Who are you?

The bamboo pole was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "What a wicked person sues first! Obviously, it was your vicious dog who hurt me first for no reason, but it was I who provoked it?

Ye Lin hid behind the forest and got dressed, walked to the two of them at this moment, first made a gesture, bent down and apologized: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it must be Guangyan who mistakenly thought that Brother Tai was a bad person." I don't think my brother is in any big trouble, why don't we each take a step back and turn a big thing into a small thing, how about it?"

Xiao Duo was held by the hand, the bamboo pole was quite strong, and he couldn't pull it out for a while, he was angry in his heart, and his temper came up, and he said: "Hmph! This dog of mine never hurts people for no reason, if you didn't do anything to provoke it, it will never bite you." What do you keep holding my hand for, let go. ”

Guangyan squatted aside, baring his teeth at the bamboo pole, seemingly very angry.

The bamboo pole let go of his hand and said, "Today it is difficult to argue, and there are no witnesses to testify for me, so I can only consider myself unlucky." Then he took two steps back, looked at Xiao Duo and said, "Who are you, what are you doing in the forest so late?"

Xiao Duo snorted coldly: "I want you to take care of it!"

Ye Lin snorted and said, "My two brothers are swimming through here and are about to leave for home, and they never thought of meeting Brother Tai, haha, haha." While speaking, the earth-shaking demon bear was belatedly and stood behind Ye Lin.

When the bamboo pole saw a giant bear coming, his face changed, and he made a gesture to escape. Ye Lin waved his hand and said, "Brother, don't panic, this is my sealing beast, and it won't hurt anyone." The bamboo pole smiled awkwardly, looked at Xiao Duo, and then at Ye Lin, his eyes swept over his black iron rod and he was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but take another half step back, Xiao Duo looked at it in his eyes, and secretly laughed: "Sure enough, he is a nerd, and when he saw the weapons carried by the Earth Shaking Demon Bear and Brother Ye, he panicked all of a sudden." ”

The bamboo pole had a frightened expression on his face, but he said stiffly: "Children don't shake around at night, it's good to go home early, it's very dangerous outside." Then he stared at Xiao Duo for a while, and said, "I don't know you like a child, take care of your dog in the future, don't cause more trouble for no reason!"

Ye Lin saw that he had the intention of retreating, and hurriedly said: "Brother Tai taught ......" Before he finished speaking, the bamboo pole interrupted: "It's not big or small, I see that you are two years older than this child, you should call me an uncle." He claims to be great, and calls me a brother and a brother, what kind of system has he become? ”

Ye Lin's face flushed, and he said softly: "What the seniors taught is that Ye Lin was rude. The little boy saw him scolding his master, and roared at him dissatisfied, and the bamboo pole was shocked when he saw this, and took a few steps back, looking frightened.

Ye Lin scolded and said, "Don't be rude, let the seniors be frightened." ”

The bamboo pole nodded, and seemed to be quite useful.

Xiao Duo was too lazy to look at him, pulled Ye Lin and left, and Xiao obediently followed Ye Lin slowly and left together. Guangyan whispered at the bamboo pole, with great dissatisfaction and disgust, and then whispered the bamboo pole twice, and then followed the master.

The bamboo pole watched them walk away, until the two figures disappeared into the forest, then patted the dust on their bodies, and muttered to themselves: "I see, it's a little interesting." ”

There was no one around, and the bamboo pole stood alone, as if thinking about something. There was a slight chuckle on his sick face, and he seemed to be quite pleasant. After a long time, the right hand of the bamboo pole flipped over, and a burst of red light lit up from his hand, only to see that there was suddenly a red spar in his hand, and a red beast in the spar that looked like a small milk cat collided left and right, and then stared at the bamboo pole and looked at it resentfully, it was the red jade beast!

The bamboo pole looked at the red jade beast in his palm and said with a smile: "Little thing, I just said how you were released, and now I can probably guess it." It's useless to keep you, you can play wherever you like. ”

With a "pop", the red spar shattered, and the red jade beast turned into a red ray, and disappeared into the forest in an instant.

The bamboo pole watched the red jade beast leave, the smile on his face did not decrease, he was no longer the frightened villain he looked like before, his face was indifferent, and he said to himself: "The situation has also been figured out, do you want to go to the red jade mountain to take a look again?" Forget it, don't make trouble for yourself, it's better to go back." Huh, I seem to have forgotten something very important, and I want to think about it......"

The bamboo pole thought for a while, patted his head, and said, "Forget the first longitudinal!" Forget it, let him play outside alone. After coming out for so long, it is estimated that Wubing is going to get angry again, so troublesome...... It's not getting early, and it looks like it's going to rain soon, so let's go back quickly. ”

As soon as the words fell, the bamboo pole suddenly disappeared in place, as if it had never appeared here.

The moon was in the sky, and the gentle moonlight sprinkled all over the water Moon Forest, and it was already the middle of the night. Suddenly, several dark clouds covered the yellow moon, the weather changed as soon as it was said, and the cold wind blew, and a heavy rain poured down.

"Why is it raining all of a sudden!" Xiao Duo cursed the sudden heavy rain and said, "Brother Ye, there is a wooden house not far ahead, let's go there to take shelter from the rain first." Hell, why is it raining so hard. ”

The torrential rain became heavier and heavier, and in an instant, the sky and the earth were already vast. Ye Lin was soaked by the rain, and said, "It makes sense, it's good to follow the little brother." ”

Xiao Duo didn't say much, he strengthened his feet, glanced at the light flame beside him, and saw that this flame dog was drenched in heavy rain, and he seemed to be very unhappy, so he couldn't help but step up.

The rainstorm is like a note, the lightning and thunder, the rain is like the mouth of the Tianhe River, it comes suddenly, it is menacing, it is getting bigger and bigger, and the rain hits Xiaoduo's body, and it hurts faintly. Xiao Duo thought to himself: "It's really not good to go out, I haven't come out of the Water Moon Forest yet, so many things have happened." Now even God won't let me go, why is this damn rain so heavy!......" There was a faint trace of cowardice hidden in his heart, as if he was wondering if it was a wise move to go out this time.

"Even if God wants to stop me, I will definitely come out! No matter how great the trouble is, it can't stop me from moving forward! What can this little rain be counted! Seal King, I should be decided!" Thinking of this, Xiao Duo couldn't help but look up to the sky and roar, and suddenly felt that it was not so uncomfortable to move forward in this rainstorm.

Ye Lin, Guangyan, and Xiao Liang saw him suddenly let out a long howl, although it was inexplicable, and it was not easy to ask questions in the rain, so they had to follow him forward.

After running for a while, I could already see a wooden house in front of me, with dim lights in the house, standing quietly in the rainstorm.

Xiao Duo screamed happily and said, "It's here!" went straight to the door of the house, didn't knock on the door, smashed open the wooden door, broke in with a flame of light, and said: "Grandpa Du, it's raining heavily, I'll take shelter from the rain!"

Ye Lin took Xiao Duo to follow Xiao Duo into the wooden house, closed the wooden door, the rainstorm was raging outside the house, but the house was warm and dry, I couldn't help but be slightly stunned, raised my eyes and looked around, only to see that the wooden house was built quite tightly, and the roof was also covered with a layer of iron plates, which were sealed with thick baffles on all sides, and no wind could penetrate it, and I secretly said in my heart: "It's really a good place to hide from the rain!"

There was a brazier in the middle of the house, and the charcoal in the pot crackled. An old woodcutter sat by the brazier, watching the uninvited guest who broke through the door.

Ye Lin immediately saluted and said, "Old man, the rain is too heavy, can you let me in and rest for a while?" This bear is my sealing beast, and it won't hurt people." ”

The old woodcutter was holding a wine jug, and seemed to have drunk a lot, faintly drunk. He took a sip of the wine in the pot, added another piece of charcoal to the brazier, looked at Ye Lin and the little girl, and confirmed that the giant bear would not hurt anyone, and then replied with a smile: "You little bastard, why did you sneak to the old man to play in the middle of the night?"

Xiao Duo grinned, ran to the brazier, took off his clothes, went to the inner room to find a dry towel, and said while wiping his body: "Isn't this missing you, Grandpa Du." I'm afraid you're lonely, and I want to chat with you. ”

The old woodcutter took another sip of wine and scolded with a smile: "Little rabbit cub, he will lie to me with good things." Then he looked up at Ye Lin, and said busily: "My friend." ”

The old woodcutter nodded, didn't care about Ye Lin, drank by himself, and said, "Find a place to sit by yourself, the old man has nothing to entertain." ”

Ye Lin smiled awkwardly, sat next to Xiao Duo, and changed his clothes. Guangyan and Xiao Yan shook off the rain in the corner, and also walked to the brazier, quietly roasting the fire.

Xiao Duotuo's whole body was naked, so he found two stools, put the wet clothes on the stools, and put them by the brazier to dry. Ye Lin saw that the old woodcutter was present, he was embarrassed to take off his nakedness, and only took off his coat, but his underwear was still on his body. The old woodcutter glanced at him, squinted and smiled, ignored him, and took another sip of wine.

Ye Lin was glanced at by him, but he felt that he was embarrassed to take off his wet clothes clearly, and he couldn't help blushing, and he didn't know if it was appropriate to take them off now, so he hesitated and fidgeted for a while.

Xiaoduo pestered the old woodcutter to talk, but the old woodcutter paid little attention to him, and sat on the chaise longue by the brazier, as if he had fallen asleep. Xiao Duo made a fuss for a while, felt bored, suddenly felt tired, and the fatigue of the past few days came together, said hello to Ye Lin, and fell asleep on the ground by the brazier.

The floor of this wooden house is a layer of thick wood, and the bottom of the wooden house is hollow, and it is surrounded by several huge logs, which were originally used for waterproofing. At this moment, the house was roasted by charcoals, and the floor was warm, and people did not feel cold when they sat on it.

Ye Lin saw that Xiaoduo and the old woodcutter seemed to be asleep, and secretly said "ashamed" in his heart, took off his underwear, put them on the side of the brazier to dry, and did not wait for the clothes to be completely dry, so he put them on, like a shy little daughter-in-law, startled, touched his coat, and it was almost dry, so he put on his clothes, sat closer to the brazier, and quietly roasted the fire.

The charcoal burned crackling, Ye Lin took on the task of adding charcoal, adding some charcoal to the brazier from time to time, the fire reflected on his face, the burning room was as warm as spring, and he couldn't help but feel a little sleepy.

The old woodcutter was already snoring like thunder, Xiao Duo was also asleep, and Xiao Liang and Guangyan were already lying on the side, falling asleep. Ye Lin added a few pieces of charcoal to the basin, thinking that it was almost enough to burn for a while, and was about to fall asleep, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Duo slept lightly, and was awakened by a knock on the door. Ye Lin opened the wooden door and saw two people standing outside the house, wearing purple and luxurious coats, embroidered with dense grass and tree patterns, and hoods covering their faces, so that they couldn't see their faces clearly.

"It's convenient for the master's house, and it's raining heavily outside, so I want to take refuge here for a while. The first man explained his intention to Ye Lin, Ye Lin looked at the sleeping old woodcutter, scratched his head, and invited the two in.

Xiao Duo was shocked, and saw the two of them walking into the wooden house, but there was not a drop of rain on their bodies, and they couldn't help but look curiously for a moment. The two looked at Xiao Duo, and one of them said "oops", turned around, and heard that the voice was a woman.

Although Xiaoduo is a child, he doesn't care about being naked in front of men, but when he heard that a woman was present, he also blushed secretly, brought the almost baked clothes, and put them on his body.

The man in charge whispered something to the woman with his back to him, and the woman turned around after hearing this, bowed slightly to Xiao Duo, and then turned to Ye Lin and greeted him gently, Ye Lin hurriedly returned the salute with his fists.

The two walked to the other corner of the room, and the man took off his hood, and he was a very handsome young man, with fair skin like a woman, rich and handsome, and a genius in England and France.

Xiaoduo glanced at Ye Lin jokingly, and said secretly: "My eldest brother Ye is also a handsome guy, compared to this person, it is like a heaven and an earth, hahaha." "He has a childish nature, everything is easy to compare, and at the moment he secretly compares in his heart, which is very fun. "But how do you look at this person, it seems a little unpleasant? strange ......" Xiao Duoduo glanced at the man, and there was a strange feeling in his heart, secretly surprised.

Not to mention Xiaoduo, Ye Lin is also secretly comparing himself with that man in his heart at this moment, he is a young man with strong blood, and he is the age when he likes to compare with his peers the most, and at this moment, his heart is gloomy, and his heart is sour: "How can there be such a man in the world! Hmph, but he is just a little more beautiful and delicate." Before the thought was finished, the woman also took off her hood, Ye Lin glanced at her face, and suddenly felt an explosion in her brain, buzzing, and a tightness in her chest, as if she had lost something, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

I saw that the woman took off her hood, revealing a small face like a carved jade bracelet, looking about twenty-eight years old, black silk like a waterfall, starry eyes flashing, looking at the man, her eyes seemed to be full of starlight, shining. Countless poems instantly popped up in Ye Lin's mind: "The skin is like ice and snow, and the skin is like a virgin." No, it is a neck show item, the quality is dewed, the fragrance is not added, and the lead is Huafu Yu. It's not right, it's a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent. One look at the city, and then look at the country. Yes, it shocked the world...... "But when I saw the woman sitting down on the side of the man, under the reflection of the firelight, her complexion was as clear as jade, like a new moon, like flowers and trees piling up snow, and she was glamorous, quiet and leisurely, tender and graceful, charming in language, delicate and tactful, beautiful and incomprehensible, Ye Lin was stupid for a while.

Although he saw the beauty of the woman, he only admired it in his heart, and then somehow thought of the young master who was close to him in the red jade mountain, and there was a trace of trance in his heart that did not match his age, and he was speechless for a while.

"Knock knock knock ......" Just as Ye Lin fell into chaos and obsession, there was another knock on the door outside the house, which woke Ye Lin up suddenly. Ye Lin secretly said ashamed, opened the wooden door, and saw a young man who was similar to his age standing outside the house, soaking wet, seeing Ye Lin, he smiled slightly: "Please take shelter from the rain!"

Ye Linxin said: "I'm not the master here, why did I open the door?" The old man fell asleep again, so let him in......

Xiao Duo also came back to his senses from his trance and said secretly: "What about the young master, what does it have to do with me? What do you want her to do? Then he turned back and saw another man come in, and he got up and stepped forward.

The visitor was soaked, and said hello to everyone in the house, and suddenly saw a giant bear and a big dog lying in the corner of the house, and couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled: "I can't imagine that the master's family still has such a ...... Such a cute sealing beast. Then he didn't care about Xiao Yan and Guangyan, walked to the brazier, and took off his coat, but strangely enough, his coat was only soaked, and his underwear was dry.

The man sat on the edge of the brazier, baked the fire with his hands, and said, "But the cold has killed me, and the rain has not stopped." Hey, poor I was thrown in this wilderness by my bastard master, if I hadn't seen this fire by chance, I guess I would have frozen to death in this rain tonight, ah, what a gratifying congratulations, a gratifying congratulations. ”

Xiao Duo saw him squeezing his eyebrows, telling his misfortune with an exaggerated expression, and was instantly amused by him, and couldn't help laughing: "Yes, I don't know why this rain suddenly fell so hard." I've never seen such a heavy rain in my life. ”

Ye Lin unconsciously glanced at the woman a few more times, and made sure that no one found the peeked gaze, and suddenly wanted to show it in front of everyone, and couldn't help but say: "Meeting is fate, and it is a blessing to be able to meet you in this wooden house in this heavy rain." Xiaosheng Ye Lin, a leaf that knows autumn, a face that is not afraid of danger, I don't know what you call it?"

Xiao Duo said secretly: "How is Brother Ye, a little strange?" said in his mouth: "My name is Xiao Duo, well, how much." ”

The new young man rubbed his hands on the fire, turned his head to look at Ye Lin and said with a smile: "My name is Zhang Dizong, well, Zhang Dizong's Zhang, Zhang Dizong's Zong, Zhang Dizong's Zong, haha." ”
