The mountain behind Qingyun Town.

Lin Xiaotian's limbs were spread out, and his round body was lying in a large shape in the overgrown clearing, staring at the stars in the sky in distraction.

"Alas......"

Thinking back to everything that happened today, the boy couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He has heard a lot of the word waste since he was a child, after all, others have used it to describe him more than once, but he has never paid much attention to it.

It wasn't until his father didn't shy away from saying it just now that he felt as if he had been stabbed in his heart.

"Waste, I don't want to be said that......"

With his hands on the back of his head, thinking back to his penance experience day and night over the years, Lin Xiaotian pursed his lips bitterly.

No one wants to be a waste, but he just doesn't have any cultivation talent.

The perception of vitality is worse than others, and the speed of absorbing vitality is also slower than others.

For others to cultivate for an hour, it takes two or three days or even more to achieve the results of others.

This qualification is actually not suitable for cultivation at all, and it is fate to be an ordinary person to live an ordinary life.

But this path is completely opposite to my father's wishes.

For as long as he can remember, the most his father has said is to let himself work hard to cultivate and not worry about other things.

As for him, although his father often drank heavily, he was still very attentive to himself when he didn't drink, otherwise he wouldn't have let go of his arrogant self-esteem and did chores in the town to earn money to support his cultivation.

Unfortunately, the reality is cruel after all.

I tried my best, but after all, I still didn't cross the gap between talent and talent, and I fell deeply, and I fell miserably.

All the efforts of the past are also ruthlessly denied and trampled on today.

Loser, no one cares about the process of his efforts, this is an eternal truth.

"Goo......

An inopportune sound came from his stomach, interrupting his thoughts.

The hunger of the body does not disappear because of a bad mood, let alone a person of his body.

He groaned and sat up with his hands propped back on the ground.

casually patted his belly, which seemed to never go down, Lin Xiaotian was a little helpless.

I went out in the morning in a hurry and didn't have time to eat, and now I was kicked out by my father again, and I haven't eaten for a whole day.

Suddenly, the tip of his nose moved, and he vaguely seemed to smell a tempting aroma.

Immediately, a slender white jade hand pinched a steaming oily paper bag, which suddenly fell from above his head and appeared in his sight.

The aroma of food is faintly emanating from the bag.

"Hehe, dumb girl, you're here......"

Suddenly turning around, looking at the girl standing behind him, Lin Xiaotian's chubby face showed a smile.

The girl's eyebrows are elegant, and she wears a crystal red jade on her chest, which shines softly under the reflection of the moonlight, making the girl like a blooming red lotus, which is touching.

Nodding and smiling, two shallow dimples appeared on the dumb girl's white and tender pretty face, and then handed the oiled paper bag in her hand to Lin Xiaotian.

Lin Xiaotian was just about to take it, but his hand stopped in mid-air.

"Well, I didn't bring any money."

He scratched his head a little embarrassed, but saw the dumb girl put down the oiled paper bag, and her slender fingers made a few gestures slightly.

"Sell the rest today?"

After getting along with the girl for many years, he was already familiar with the meaning of the girl's gestures, and when he saw the girl nodding with a smile, he took the oil paper bag and opened it.

Looking down, the skin of several buns inside is bright and shiny, and it is obvious that they were made half an hour ago.

At that time, it was also the time when he was kicked out of the cabin by his father.

"Thank you for this ......, Niko."

The words paused, Lin Xiaotian's heart was touched, knowing what the girl meant by this, and then he stopped being hypocritical, and took out the buns and ate them.

During this period, I beat my chest several times and almost choked.

The dumb girl reached out and pinched his fat face, signaling him to eat more slowly, and then took a bamboo tube filled with water from her waist and handed it to him.

Goo-goo......

"Hiccup......

After taking the bamboo, Lin Xiaotian raised his head and drank the water, and then gave a long burp, which made the girl laugh.

The girl's laughter was quiet and silent, but it was refreshing, which made the haze in Lin Xiaotian's heart recede a lot.

[Are you alright?] 】

When Lin Xiaotian came back to her senses, the dumb girl sat opposite and gestured with both hands.

"It's pretty much what I expected, but my dad ......"

Lin Xiaotian smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders.

The dumb girl just can't speak because of the broken pulse, it's not that he can't hear, so he doesn't need to make gestures.

[Don't worry, Uncle Lin will want to open it, if you can't cultivate in the future, you can also learn to make steamed buns with me.] 】

After making another gesture, the girl's delicate fingers pinched Lin Xiaotian's fat face again.

"Hehe, I'm afraid that before I learn, I'll be eaten up."

Lin Xiaotian smiled calmly, every time he "chatted" with the girl, no matter how lost he was, his feelings of loss could disappear inadvertently.

……

The two chatted for a long time, and the girl got up and made a gesture to help Grandma Wang reconcile.

After walking a few steps, he came back and pinched Lin Xiaotian's fat face, and then turned around and left with a smile.

After seeing the girl go down the mountain, Lin Xiaotian touched the fat face that still had the residual warmth of the girl's fingertips, and looked up at the silver moon in the sky and smiled.

"Well, at least it's not nothing."

But soon, his smile abruptly stopped, and then turned to ...... Afraid!

"Huh? Could it be that there is something wrong with my eyes? ”

He rubbed his eyes, and saw that a small red dot had inexplicably appeared on the silver moon hanging in the purple night sky, and the red dot was gradually getting bigger.

When I got closer, I realized that it was not a red dot, but a cluster of light that shimmered red.

But it didn't matter, the important thing was that the light seemed to be coming towards the top of the mountain where it was!

Suddenly, he suddenly remembered a legend he had heard from the old man in the town when he was a child, "the red demon takes the bird".

It is said that on the night of the full moon, a demon called the Red Demon will turn into a red mang, and go out to hunt, specifically hunting men who are left alone in the wild.

Those men would fall into a coma when they were caught, and when they woke up the next day and lifted their pants, they would find that their "eggs" were completely gone!

Of course, this is nothing more than a means used by the old people to scare the naughty boys who don't come home at night.

But Lin Xiaotian was already timid, and when he saw the strange round moon tonight, he suddenly began to beat a drum in his heart, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Shout......

And as soon as he retreated, the red mangs in the sky suddenly burst out with a sharp sound of breaking wind and rushed down.

It seems that Hongmang's target is really him!
