Volume 1 Juvenile Journey 0005 Sit in the well and watch the sky
At this time, although the cold winter has just passed, there is still a cold current in the air, and the grass and trees are hung with a little hoarfrost, which is crystal clear under the light of the early sun.
Out of the forest, the four teenagers were stained with water, and the tip of their noses was red from the cold.
They didn't care, and continued to run wildly towards Xiaobeishan in the distance.
If it weren't for the fact that Lin Xiaoyuan has often gone up the mountain to collect medicine in the past four years, and his physical exercise is not bad, he would have been thrown off by those teenagers with thick bodies.
Arriving at the foot of the mountain, the four began to allocate search areas.
"Let's say okay first, first come, first served, no robbing!"
Halfway up the mountain, Lin Rongdong smiled sheepishly and raised his eyebrows.
"Let's go!"
Lin Beiguang puffed out his cheeks and shouted loudly, and several people scattered, each looking for the so-called strange thing.
Because the bottom of this mountain has long been cleaned by a few people who have collected medicine before, it is natural to focus the search on the middle and upper areas where there has been no one for a long time.
There is danger in the mountains, but there will be no big danger.
There are shovels and thin iron rods in the medicine baskets of several people, and there are also insect repellent stones specially configured by the shopkeeper Lin, so self-protection is not a problem.
Lin Xiaoyuan went around to the mountain shade.
Since the treasure will be bright, and there is not much sunlight on the mountain shade, it will definitely be easier for him to find rare treasures.
Pinning the iron rod and short shovel to his waist, Lin Xiaoyuan tightened the medicine basket on his back and began to climb the mountain.
The mountains are gentle, there are few steep slopes, the trees are bare, and there are not many obstacles in the field of vision.
It was early spring at this time, and wild thorns and sawgrass were still just emerging, and the yellow-brown soil and a few dots of green were the background color of the whole low mountain.
Only young people can walk like flying and walk fast to find light.
But when Xiaoyuan's eyes were all gone, except that the tree was a tree, he didn't find anything strange in the shopkeeper Lin's mouth at all.
This mountain is only three hundred meters high, and the square circle is three kilometers at most, except for the many medicinal materials, there is nothing special.
Lin Xiaoyuan has been planting and collecting medicine for almost four years, and even the hares and mice in the mountains and forests have seen only a handful of times.
He was secretly stunned, why did Uncle Lin say that there was something strange here?
In the past, I heard my grandmother say that the most powerful person in the town was Uncle Lin, and my grandmother said that Uncle Lin once went out to wander, and came back covered in blood ten years later, and even half of his ears almost fell off, and it took several years to raise his body.
If it weren't for Shopkeeper Lin showing a few hands later and teaching the mayor and more than a dozen servants here a hard lesson, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to get his mother-in-law later.
Children are all looking forward to heroes, like Shopkeeper Lin, who treats people peacefully, does not show mountains and waters, but initiates Weilai and has extraordinary strength, is naturally his idol.
After that, Lin Xiaoyuan often ran to the pharmacy, firstly because he admired the shopkeeper Lin, and secondly, because he regarded Lin Rongdong as his brother.
Gradually, Lin Xiaoyuan also discovered some of Uncle Lin's advantages.
Like the two gilded characters that have not changed for several years, the green rattan hanging on the plaque is full of life, and the residues of the medicine residue in the village, they seem to be placed in a very particular place.
Lin Xiaoyuan still remembered that once Lin Rongdong stood up for him and beat the mayor of the town and his son, which angered the mayor.
The mayor brought a group of scoundrels to find fault, and several scoundrels kicked the dregs on the ground into the pharmacy with their feet to make the display case ugly.
As a result, the dregs flew into the air and turned around and returned to their original positions, and then the mayor and the scoundrels were so frightened that they turned their heads and ran, and the people who watched the excitement on the side also broke out in a cold sweat.
Since then, the dregs in the town have been placed in a few fixed places, and no matter how much they are placed, they don't seem to have changed.
The old people said that since there were these piles of medicine residue, the village has become much cleaner.
But you still have to pay attention to what should be taboo.
The people in the village can't say whether they are more in awe or more afraid of such a legendary figure as Shopkeeper Lin, so people bypass it far away when they see the medicine pile and stay away.
If Grandma hadn't died, maybe she was just one of the bunch.
Thinking about it this way, fate closed a door.
Perhaps, the light coming from the window will be warmer.
Lin Xiaoyuan didn't believe in evil, so he took two bites of hard steamed buns and searched for most of the day, but he still didn't find anything strange.
Looking at the sky, Lin Xiaoyuan's heart was dull, but he still cheered himself up.
Why don't you come back in the evening and try your luck?
Although the treasure hunt was unsuccessful, Lin Xiaoyuan still dug up a small half-basket of age-appropriate medicinal materials in the area where the seeds were planted before, and estimated that he could earn a few meals.
When he got back to the bottom of the mountain, it was getting dark, and he kicked his legs to soothe the leg muscles that were shaking after running down the mountain.
Lin Xiaoyuan slowly walked towards the pharmacy, and sure enough, he saw that the pawnshop on the side had closed early.
When he gave the medicinal materials to the shopkeeper Lin, Lin Xiaoyuan asked the other three about their harvest.
"I haven't found it, this one is not in a hurry, it will be easy to find it when the spring equinox is reached. Xiaoyuan, when the weather is warmer, you can go to the pool at the top of the mountain to see, can you swim? Shopkeeper Lin asked.
"No, it won't." Lin Xiaoyuan scratched his head again, speaking of which he was still a little afraid of water.
"No, it's okay, I'll let that kid teach you when I go back, and when the weather is warm, you go with him, if he doesn't teach me, I'll break his legs."
Shopkeeper Lin would have a toothache every time he mentioned his son, and he gasped again as he spoke.
Which child is obviously good, but he wants to show his personality and shave his head?
He was named Honeysuckle to let him withstand the cold of winter, but he survived sixteen years of harsh winter, and as a result, his hair was lost this year.
Shopkeeper Lin was a little upset, and he even planned to forcibly give his unconventional son a hair transplant.
He looked at Lin Xiaoyuan's well-behaved and the dead and silent dead branches hidden under the docile skin, and the irritability in his heart calmed down.
"Xiaoyuan, it's getting dark, walk slowly when you go back. Don't run around at night, it's best not to go up the mountain, there will be many opportunities in the future, remember. ”
"Okay Uncle Lin, don't worry."
Lin Xiaoyuan waved his hand to Shopkeeper Lin, and ran towards home with the empty bamboo basket on his back.
On the way, he also went to the restaurant owned by Lin Beiguang's family to eat a bowl of ramen.
Lin Beiguang's mother also specially added an extra egg to him and sprinkled a lot of chopped green onions.
After returning home, Lin Xiaoyuan looked at the very empty room and clenched his fists.
It's going to get better, he secretly cheered himself up.
It's getting darker.
Lin Xiaoyuan simply packed his bags and ran towards Xiaobei Mountain.
Because it was dark, he thought that he would go around the bottom of the mountain, and that there should be no danger if he did not go to a high place. Shopkeeper Lin should be afraid that he will fall down when walking at night, and it should be fine if he doesn't go up the mountain and walks slower.
He thought as he ran, and soon he reached the bottom of the mountain.
Lin Xiaoyuan wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and habitually looked up to look for the three stars in the sky.
In his first quest for death, a distant glow was salvation.
————————————
There is a well at the head of the village.
Soon after his grandmother's death, Lin Ideal completely lost the butterfly.
So one evening, I jumped in.
But in the end, out of a strong survival instinct, he held on tightly to the rope and was rescued the next day.
That night, through the narrow well, in a small dim canopy, he saw three stars.
Later, every time he saw the deep well, he felt a strong suffocation.
Even with it, even the water is very resistant.
This was the first time in his life that he took the initiative to die.
Compared to the story of the future, that time was really not exciting enough.
But it was at that time that Lin Xiaoyuan understood the breadth of the world and the limitations of his vision.
————————————
Lin Xiaoyuan rubbed his eyes, but he still didn't see the three stars.
After he came out of the gloom, he was no longer visible.
This time too.
Lin Xiaoyuan was not discouraged, he was no longer a well frog watching the sky.
I heard Lin Beiguang, who loves to read fairy books, say that every star lives with Xingjun, patrolling the heavens and hunting in all directions.
Now that Lin Xiaoyuan already knows the immortal method, after he finishes his studies, he will personally thank him one day.
Lin Xiaoyuan picked up the flint prepared in advance and lit the oil lamp.
The flames suddenly brightened in the darkness, Lin Xiaoyuan breathed softly, and the ink-like pupils were covered by the brightness of the candle flame, covering the hesitant blue blue.
The free hand trembled slightly, as if he was afraid.
After that, his fists were clenched, and there was no more timidity, and his eyes were like torches.
Perhaps, a little more excited.
From today on, Lin Xiaoyuan is about to completely get out of the spiritual dilemma that belongs to Lin Ideal.
Taking advantage of the night when the lights were lit, Lin Xiaoyuan walked towards the mountains alone.
The shadow behind him was stretched long and scattered, but it did not leave the left and right.
Compared with the narrow and dark wellhead, the mountains and forests are much brighter.
