Maybe it was because of Li Qinglang's barbecue, Xiao Mu was a little happy and talked to him, but occasionally the words would still mention:

"Don't you really eat me?"

"If you eat me, can you help me give this meat to my mother?"

"My mother is fourteen miles from here, and there is a little bend to the southeast, and the road leads to the village at the end. She is the most beautiful woman in the village, and if you see her, you will definitely recognize her. ”

Li Qinglang replied occasionally, more because he felt that this little wood was frightened, and at this moment, he might feel that he had already eaten the food on the road, and he would definitely die.

"Can you afford to walk like this?"

Deliberately slow down so that the little wood can travel at his own accustomed pace, and it will also be easier.

"It's worth it! When I was a child, I was here with my grandfather! ”

As if thinking of something, he stuck out his tongue embarrassedly, and then continued, "It's just that I was still very young at that time, and I had to sit in the car after walking for a while, and let Ah Gong pull it." ”

Li Qinglang asked suspiciously, "I've heard you mention your grandfather a few times, so why didn't you see him?" ”

Xiao Mu sighed, his eyes showing a little sadness, "Ah Gong passed away four years ago, so I can't accompany Xiao Mu." ”

"What about your father?"

"Two years ago, I went out hunting and was eaten by a demon beast. Although my mother didn't tell me, she only said that she encountered a heavy snowstorm outside, and she didn't know where she was swept away. ”

Xiao Mu lowered his head, his voice trembling slightly, but he quickly raised his head and said with a smile.

"But Xiao Mu is eleven years old this year, and he is a little adult! Be able to take care of yourself, and you can also take care of your mother. So please don't eat me, okay? After eating a small piece of wood, my mother will be very pitiful. ”

Li Qinglang didn't answer him, since this guy already had this idea in his heart, no matter how he explained it, I'm afraid he wouldn't believe it.

The two of them stayed with each other all the way through the afternoon, until in the evening, when they arrived at a small cave where they could rest.

I saw that Xiao Mu carefully drove all the unhappy people together, and then lit a bonfire with flint and steel, and surrounded it with stones. With that done, he went to the mouth of the cave again, and took some lumpy objects from the many pockets he was carrying and scattered them on the side.

With the smell, Li Qinglang guessed that it should be the feces of some kind of demon beast. Although it is not very powerful, it is still possible to deter other demon beasts a little. As for other snakes, insects, rats and ants, they will naturally be avoided.

Instead of eating the noon barbecue, Xiao Mu took out another piece of baked cake, passed it through a branch, and roasted it on the fire for a short while.

Seeing that Li Qinglang had nothing to eat, he took several pieces of meat from him at noon today, so he broke off a third of the small wood and handed it out: "Here, this is the baked cake baked by my mother, it's delicious!" ”

Li Qinglang thanked him and took the slightly hot baked cake, "The temperature is well controlled, did you bake a lot of baked cakes before you practiced?" ”

As if he had seen through the old things, Xiao Mu lowered his head embarrassedly, "I thought it wouldn't be cold when I roasted it, and it tasted more fragrant, but I didn't expect it to be burned directly." That time, I basically went to bed hungry at night. ”

Then he added: "But after I went back, my mother took me to roast!" And then I learned. ”

Li Qinglang tasted the cake, and it tasted really good. However, compared to the immortal treasures on the mountain, it can only be said that there is no comparison...... But this is precisely his favorite mouthful, the taste of memory.

"Why don't you eat the barbecue I gave you at noon? Do you want to keep it and go back to your mother? ”

Well, Xiao Mu nodded, and broke off the remaining pancakes piece by piece and put them into his mouth. Originally, the baked cake was not big, and Li Qinglang was divided into one-third, so he quickly finished eating, and then got up and went to drink some water to fill his stomach again.

"Wait."

Li Qinglang stopped him, "You made the fire, you baked the cake, I didn't do anything." Well, I'm still a little hungry, and here's a few pieces of meat worth a little money. Why don't you roast it? After you get it right, half of it will be considered as compensation for you, how about it? ”

"Okay."

Xiao Mu hesitated for a moment, but still touched his not very full stomach and agreed, "I'll just eat a little bit..."

With the topic, the relationship between the two is smoother.

After chatting for a long time, the little wood began to feel sleepy, so he said hello, took out the warm animal skins, put one on the ground, the other on his body, and slept in his clothes.

Li Qinglang looked at the well-behaved little wood, not knowing how to express the emotions in his heart.

It is said that every time a writer writes, it is a process of dissecting his soul. Of course, he thinks he's just a lowercase, and he doesn't have that much awareness. But once in a while, I still want to write about what I see.

Fang Yi is like this, and so is Xiao Mu.

Li Qinglang didn't sleep or cultivate, because he knew that there would be a battle soon.

So he went to the entrance of the cave and waited quietly. The bonfire slowly weakened, and finally only a few red embers remained, and some insects and beasts began to move.

However, the smell of feces at the entrance of the cave and the human being revealed extremely dangerous information.

On the treetops of the moon, Li Qinglang finally waited for those "enemies".

Beyond this leeward cave, a few hundred meters away, is a jungle with alternating ice and greenery.

And inside, there are many reptiles and beasts, which are more dangerous! This is also why Xiao Mu didn't go there to rest, but came back with firewood.

At this moment, there was a magic light in the jungle, illuminating a large area like a fire.

Li Qinglang didn't need to look closely to see what happened there.

More than a dozen big men and young people were forming an arc-shaped encirclement, as if they were driving something out of the jungle.

"Hold your spot! If you can catch two of them this time, you'll make a lot of money! ”

The leader of the group spoke, a burly man in a colorful fur coat.

Unlike the rest of the team, he only has one prey pinned to his waist. That's what all the other selling prices are all about.

The arc-shaped encirclement of a group of people slowly shrank, and suddenly someone exclaimed, "Boss, I found it!" ”

"Grandma's, go to the fat man!"

Dahan said calmly: "Give Lao Tzu a little steady, as long as you drive it out of the jungle, it's easy to do!" ”

Little Wood was awakened by the sound of sparks and explosions that had ignited at that time, and in some panic, he came to the entrance of the cave wrapped in animal skins.

"What's wrong, what's wrong? Thunder? ”

Li Qinglang smiled and turned around, and a wisp of flame came out of his fingertips, lighting the extinguished bonfire again.

"No, it's poaching."

"Poaching?"

Xiao Mu thought for a while, "I know, I heard the big brother of the patrol say that it is to catch those demon beasts that are forbidden to be hunted!" ”

"Yes. Want to check it out? ”

Xiao Mu hesitated, obviously the curiosity of this age gave him the urge to go out. But his mother also taught him not to join in the fun outside, and to run quickly when he encounters strange things, and hide if he can't run.

"Forget it, I'm still not going."

Li Qinglang smiled and touched his head, "Are you worried about what your mother said?" It's okay, I'm here, and I'll send you back safely to your mother's side. ”

Xiao Mu thought for a while and asked in a low voice, "Then can we take a look and run?" ”

"Of course."

Li Qinglang took him to the air, cast an invisibility charm, and came to a snowy slope outside the jungle.

"Let's stay and see what they're catching."

Xiao Mu was a little cramped and nervous, and he didn't dare to speak, so he just showed half of his head and looked at it from a distance.

In the middle of the jungle, a black shadow suddenly appeared, moving swiftly, running straight in their direction.

Behind the dark shadows, more than a dozen human figures slowly walked out of the edge of the jungle, and Xiao Mu could see their appearance clearly through the moonlight.

All of them are fierce-looking, poorly dressed, and rough in fur. There are also many corpses of animals and monsters hanging behind his waist.

Like the Silver Brow Mouse, the Snow Fox, the Flowing Sable, the Frost Wolf and the like.

And what they are chasing is a black cat with a length of one meter.

"It's a Niguang Luohou cat!"

Little Wood exclaimed, pointing at the black cat.

Li Qinglang looked carefully, and the Niguang Luohou cat stopped in the distance because he noticed that there was someone here.

This big cat, which is one meter long including its tail, has a round body, like a bowling ball, with a light head and a heavy body.

The whole body is black with gray and white lines, like a gold gradient that has fallen into a dye vat. The most special thing is its yellow-green gemstone eyes, and the black pupils seem to be shining with neon light!

"You know?"

Li Qinglang asked softly.

Xiao Mu probably thought that he had disturbed the Niguang Luohou cat, so his voice was very low, "Yes, this is the spiritual object enshrined in our village!"

Legend has it that the Niguang Luohou cat can see things that many people can't see. Therefore, many villages are dedicated to its gods. It's just been a long time since I've seen one. ”

Li Qinglang knows more about nature, this neon light Luohou cat is one of the spiritual creatures in the Northern Regions: the fur of the whole body can ward off evil spirits, and a pair of eyeballs can make magic weapons that can see through the delusion.

There is even a legend that you can refine your own eyes into the legendary magic eye!

As his fame grew, more and more monks came to arrest him, and now according to the calculations of the Xianyin Sect, there may not be more than three thousand in the entire Northern Regions.

And the so-called gain, there must be loss. Having such an innate eye of creation consumes a lot of their aura, so the cultivation is slow to improve, and the realm cannot be improved. If you can have the foundation building realm, you can be regarded as lucky and strong!

Carefully explained to Xiao Mu: "That's because there are too many poachers, although the Xianyin Sect has banned the hunting of this kind of demon beast many years ago, it's useless, otherwise what would the hunting team do." ”

"These people are so bad!"

Xiao Mu said through gritted teeth, taking out a piece of roast meat in his hand, trying to attract it. Seeing that this trick didn't work, he rubbed out a few more snowballs, trying to scare away the nervous and stunned Neon Light Luohou cat.

After a few times, it was still somewhat useful, and it glanced at the dozen or so murderers of her husband, and quickly ran in the other direction. And its abdomen, dragged out a trail of blood......

"Boss, it seems that someone else is here!"

A sharp-eyed young man spotted the snowball and whispered to the leader, Dahan.

"Let's go, go over and have a look!"
