Twenty-three, Xia Yulong, who was born poor and sullen

The next day, the patriarch and the three of them woke up early, but the white-bearded old man and the old woman got up earlier than them, and Yin Shi had already gotten up to take care of the housework.

After the three of them finished eating breakfast, the patriarch took out a bright ingot of silver from his coat pocket and stuffed it into the hand of the white-bearded old man, and told the old man to find a few good horses in the town, and the rest of the silver did not need to be found, and it was used as the food money for these two days.

It was past noon, and the white-bearded old man got three big black horses in the town, and the owner of the horse seller said: "The business has been cut off, the horses are no longer needed, and it is a waste of food to keep them. ”

The white-bearded old man brought back the three horses, and said to the patriarch and the three of them, "These three horses are for running goods, and they are very strong. ”

The patriarch patted the horse's back, stroked the horse's mane, and said with a smile: "Well, yes, there is Uncle Lao." The patriarch took out another ingot of silver from his pocket and handed it to the old man, who shook his hand and said, "I can't ask for it anymore, I still have a lot of money left over from buying a horse before, and I should have paid you back." ”

The patriarch stuffed the silver into the old man's pocket, and said: "The two old men are lonely, treat the three of me like sons, the three of us are grateful, I am a rough man, I won't say too many polite words, if you refuse again, it will make me lose face, how can I win the trust of my brother, you can accept this silver, and it is about to enter autumn, add a few more clothes." ”

Listening to the patriarch's words, the old man couldn't help but burst into tears, he raised the placket to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, under the tattered placket was a pair of calloused thick hands, and said: "You have a good heart, God will bless you, and if you pass by this place in the future, if you don't dislike it, then treat this as your home." ”

The patriarch nodded "um", looking at the wrinkles on the old man's face, and thinking that his two sons had been eaten by monsters, he was very upset.

When the golden retriever saw the arrogant and invincible appearance of the patriarch on weekdays, he couldn't imagine that he still had a tender side, and he felt a little more admiration in his heart.

The old woman prepared some dry food and wine and hung them on the horse's back, and by this time the sun was already shining overhead, and the heat was unbearable.

The three of them said goodbye to the old man and the old woman, came to the town and bought some hats to put on their heads, rode north, and bypassed the plum blossom mountain to be an open field, and the three rested in a grass hut by the roadside, and when the sun turned west, the three rode their horses and ran on the field ahead.

At this time, a figure flickered in the grass shed, this is the little second, he nodded, with a sinister smile on his face, only to see him fly up and disappear into the heat.

A white dove swooped down, picked up a purple-red danzhu that was about to land in the air, and after a few circles in the air over the grass shed, flew towards the dark blue sky.

It was almost dusk, the sunset was infinitely beautiful, and there was laughter and whining cries in the mountains behind the ancient tomb of Lingshan.

Xia Yulong was carrying a few pheasants and leading three adult wolves to greet Sunset from the back mountain, and Sunset illuminated his handsome face red. He looked up at the sky, and suddenly saw a black dot the size of a bean near the red sun that was sinking into the mountains, and after a few circles around the sunset, it emitted a burst of strong light and disappeared.

Xia Yulong has grown into a handsome young man, more than seven feet tall, as tall as his grandfather, delicate and delicate facial features, Yin Tang is slightly red, which undoubtedly fascinates many girls.

Grandpa often laughed and said, "My grandson was born with peach blossom ......"

Xia Yulong asked his grandfather what "peach blossoms" were.

Grandpa said that he would marry a beautiful daughter-in-law in the future, and he was not allowed to be half-hearted to his mother-in-law, and the young couple should live a good life, give birth to a group of little cubs and guard the ancient tomb of Lingshan with grandpa.

At that time, Xia Yulong was still young, and he didn't seem to understand his grandfather's words, so he simply replied "yes". The old man secretly laughed, and laughed very happily.

Since Xia Yulong saved trouble, he has known that his daughter-in-law means "mother-in-law", that is, the woman who wants to sleep with him until he is old.

As soon as grandpa mentioned marrying a daughter-in-law, Xia Yulong's face was always hot, and he was angry that grandpa was mentioning it again, and grandpa smiled hesitantly: "The older you are, the more shy you are, how will you find your mother-in-law in the future." ”

Xia Yulong asked the old man: "Why doesn't Grandpa find a mother-in-law by himself?"

The old man looked into the distance and sighed, "My mother-in-law died a long time ago. He fell into mourning.

Xia Yulong saw that he had touched his grandfather's sadness, and he comforted: "I follow my grandfather, find a good woman to be filial to my grandfather together, and give birth to a large group of cubs."

The old man looked at Xia Yulong and smiled, and hummed a little song, almost dancing.

To this day, Xia Yulong is still speculating about why there are bursts of roars coming from the depths of the ancient tomb? Grandpa never took him deep into the ancient tomb, grandpa said that it was a forbidden place for the ancient tomb, and he could not break into it at will, and grandpa also said that the roar came from hell, it was "the sound of hell".

Walking and walking, Xia Yulong thought about marrying his mother-in-law again, when he was bored, his grandfather always liked to make fun of him, so he fought with his grandfather several times, and was finally defeated by his grandfather's gloomy sadness.

When Xia Yulong thought of what his mother-in-law looked like, his heartbeat was faster than ever, and he was full of longing for the future.

Every time he and his grandfather went to visit Grandpa Yao in Longgu Town, his grandfather always deliberately said in front of him that Zhang Xian was a beautiful embryo......

Xia Yulong and Zhang Xian are like brothers and sisters, although Zhang Xian is more charming and moving the more she grows up, especially the pair of watery talking eyes, but she has a bold temperament and is always very aggressive, unlike the character of a girl, the two often fight together.

In Longgu Town, children who are the same age as Xia Yulong often scold him for being a wild seed, or that he is the son of a broom star, and some people say that he stays in the ancient tomb all day long, is a living dead, and is unlucky......

All kinds of unpleasant words were scolded by the children in the town, and they were all named on Xia Yulong.

Therefore, Xia Yulong didn't have a good impression of the children in the town, and even had some disgust, and when he grew up and became sensible, he knew that he was born in a poor family, and he was not the same kind of person as those rich sons in the town.

The group of young people in the town got together, either discussing food or drinking, and some were stained with pornography and gambling.

Zhang Xian is also extremely disgusted with these peers, because she is often scolded by them as a child without a father and a mother.

The older he gets, the more incompatible Xia Yulong becomes, perhaps because of his grandfather's strict discipline, or because he has been "hurt" by them, in short, at the age of seventeen, he has parted ways with his peers in the town......

On Lingshan, Xia Yulong also occasionally worries about Zhang Xian, but he thinks that a manly man should look at the four seas, in order to win Zhang Xian's adoring eyes, he once swore that when he grows up, he will be a real chivalrous man, defeat all the masters in the world, and become the supreme martial arts......

Thinking about it, a shy smile flashed across Xia Yulong's face, he looked ahead and shook his head, and said to himself, "Alas...... Thinking too much, how can I be so embarrassed to talk when I was a child......"

For some reason, Xia Yulong felt that the older he grew up, the less he liked to talk, the more lonely he felt, and even had some inferiority, but the tenacity in his bones did not decrease.

Xiang Tian and his seven uncles often joked in his ear that he was very sullen, and sometimes Zhang Xian followed suit.

"Sullen Male ......"

As soon as these words came out, Xia Yulong's ears immediately turned red, and it was hot, he literally understood it as sullen, coquettish, and a little bad, not the kind of good people......

But Xia Yulong felt that it was natural to say that he was boring, because he was not good at words and did not like to talk very much, but he didn't dare to agree when he said that he was sassy, he secretly cried several times for this matter, and comforted Uncle Shan and said that the so-called "burning" is a fire-like teenager, which means positive, hearing this, he immediately smiled, revealing two missing front teeth.

In the Qiankun faction, Xia Yulong and Uncle Xiangshan are most like a father and son, if it weren't for various secular etiquette, he really wanted to call Xiangshan "Dad", he had demonstrated thousands of times in his heart, but he was just trying to enjoy it in his heart.

Now that Xia Yulong has grown into a young man, he has gradually accepted the meaning of the word "Sao", and he often feels that there is a germination in his blood, like a volcano that will erupt at any time.

When he woke up every morning, Xia Yulong's second brother was always more energetic than him, and he was always hunched when he went out, afraid that his grandfather would see him and make fun of him for being "warped".

The old man still laughed at him, the corners of his mouth grinned, and said: "Do you have back pain at a young age, the manly husband straightens my waist for me, I am not worried about your warped, I am afraid that you are crooked, which girl will marry you when she sees your old appearance in the future!" ”

Once, the old man accidentally bumped into Xia Yulong's second brother, who was a hundred times more energetic, and the old man smiled maliciously: "Young man, yes, it's even better than grandpa when he was younger!" ”

From then on, Xia Yulong planned to sleep in a separate bed with the old man, and the old man smiled maliciously, you will regret it, and you will have to come back honestly in a few nights.

Sure enough, on the sixth night, Xia Yulong moved back to the old man's side in a gloomy manner......

Because the wooden house was small, only one of them could move out of the house to sleep in separate beds, and it was impossible for him to kick his grandfather out, so he moved the quilt outside the house with his head stuffy.

The first two nights were okay, Xia Yulong watched the sky at night, so he was not leisurely, but when he slept in a daze on the third night, the sky suddenly rained heavily, and he became a soup chicken, and on the fourth and fifth nights, he fed the mosquitoes all over the mountain, and he couldn't stand it, so he begged his grandfather to let him enter the house.

The old man teased him again: "My heart is so anxious, I have to separate from my grandfather before I find my mother-in-law, and when I find my mother-in-law, I will have to do it, why don't you throw my old bones down the mountain?" ”

Xia Yulong shouted: "I don't want my mother-in-law to ......"

The old man smiled and said, "How can your voice sound so fake, when I was young, I said the same tone as you, but I regretted it for a lifetime, when you and your mother-in-law become a family, you move to the ancient tomb to sleep, you can play as much as you like, but you have to help me get a few fat great-grandchildren out!" ”

After a while, the old man smiled again: "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you." ”

Xia Yulong argued: "After listening to the old man's words, the loss will be in the long run." ”

The old man couldn't help it, he knew that Xia Yulong was in the rebellious period, he put his words away, and fell asleep with his hands in his arms.

Xia Yulong is often alone in a daze, looking at the vast distant mountains and the distant starry sky, this day is muddy, but I don't know how he came over......

Grandpa said that his love has bloomed like flowers, and he will help him find his mother-in-law the day after tomorrow, he hates grandpa saying this the most, but whenever he hears this, he always thinks of Zhang Xian, his cheeks are slightly hot unconsciously, and there is indescribable joy in his heart, he wants to love but dare not love, and feels that he is a very contradictory person.

On Lingshan, only the three wolves behind him played with him, they grew up together since childhood, and their feelings were like brothers, Xia Yulong's position as the boss of the three wolves was unshakable, and he named the three wolves in order, called Da Tian 1, Da Tian 2, and Da Tian 3.

Scar is obviously old, almost unable to run, it is with his grandfather who is as old as it is all day long, and the back mountain of Lingshan has become the world of him and the three wolves.

The more people grow, the more curious they become about the unknown world.

Xia Yulong's calm appearance has long hidden a restless heart, he thought, what is the outside world like, while grandpa is still in good health, with a scar by his side, it is time to take it out to break through, not only to increase some knowledge, but also to find the mother-in-law in his life, and wait until one day when he is tired to bring his mother-in-law back to be filial to his grandfather......

Thinking of this, Xia Yulong was a little shy, he shook his head again, and laughed at himself: "You unsuccessful guy, grandpa's poison is too deep, and he is also a mother-in-law full of brains, he should be beaten ......" He slapped himself hard in his heart, if he really smoked, he was seen by grandpa, and grandpa would say that he was nervous.

Xia Yulong often thinks that his mother-in-law still has to find it by herself, what parents' orders and matchmakers' words are nonsense, besides, he has no parents, when he was a child, his grandfather said that his mother was far away, and he would come back when he grew up, in fact, he knew that his mother might have been dead for a long time.

There are matchmakers' words, it's just the grandfathers' gossip on the wine table, it's not true, besides, Zhang Xian is beautiful and moving, and there are more people who like her, does she really like him, and he also put a big question mark in his heart?

Thinking about it, Xia Yulong's face put a shallow smile on his face, and he said with relief in his heart: "What's wrong with her, as long as she invites me to a wedding wine one day, I will eat it generously, and pack it after eating, I wish her happiness, if you want to cry, you have to go back to Lingshan to cry generously, don't let people see jokes!" ”

The sun had sunk into the mountains, revealing a touch of red on the rolling hills.

When night fell, the three wolves howled towards the sunset, Xia Yulong looked up, and the black dots the size of beans appeared around the red again.

When I was looking, I saw that the black dot split in two again, and two traces of red overflowed from the red, and I was sucked in by the two black dots. After a while, the two black dots merged again, and gradually became smaller, disappearing from sight.

The sky was in a vision, Xia Yulong was surprised and surprised, he stood in place, he thought in his heart, what is this black spot, dare to absorb the light of the sun, could it be an alien object?

The sky gradually darkened, the wind rose on the Spirit Mountain, the surrounding trees were blown rustling, Xia Yulong shivered, and he led the three wolves to run towards the ancient tomb.

In front of the ancient tomb, the old man was cooking on a fire, looking at Xia Yulong's rather flustered appearance, he asked, "What happened?" ”

Xia Yulong put the pheasant on his shoulder next to the stove and said hurriedly: "Just now I saw that the sun was absorbed by the black dots, if the sun's energy was absorbed, wouldn't we fall into eternal darkness?" ”

Seeing that Yulong was speaking very seriously, the old man paused for a moment with the spoon, and he looked up at the sunset......

I saw that there was a black cloud on the side of the sunset, and the sun had long since disappeared, he was shallow in knowledge, and he didn't know how to answer Xia Yulong's question, if only he could see the scene that Yulong said with his own eyes.

Half-loud, the old man smiled: "How can there be such an easy thing, the sun is the center of the entire heavens, it is the son of the gods, if the sun is gone, the whole heavens will fall into darkness, and the gods will not ignore it......"

The old man patted Xia Yulong on the shoulder, and said, "Let's eat, don't think about it anymore, don't scare yourself." ”

Xia Yulong didn't think so, straightened out his wrinkled clothes, and said: "Grandpa, the universe is big, in my opinion, the sun is not the center of the sky, the stars shining in the night sky, many of them will shine like the sun, some may be bigger than the sun, but they are too far away from us, the sun may be just a speck of dust in the sky......"

The old man was extremely surprised, thinking of the ancient books that Yao Banxian had given to Yulong.

Yulong regards books as his life, often combines ancient books to observe the sky at night, and often asks some strange questions, those ancient books have been turned over by him, but now he says that the sun is so small, it will anger the gods, and he is more and more ignorant of the height of the sky......

The old man's face changed, he looked around, and said, "Shhh ”
