Chapter 1 Heavenly Changes
In the villages and towns at the foot of the mountains, a snow-white avenue is full of children in new clothes playing snowballs, building snowmen, and sharing nuts given by adults. The elders also visit each other as friends to welcome their relatives who have returned from abroad. In the southwest corner of the town, on the hill by the river, a stone three-room single-story courtyard house bordering the front and back of the house jingle to convey a beautiful beating sound. Through the window, a large man could be seen wielding a hammer to hit a sparkling piece of iron. It should have been a good day to rest at the end of the year, but he didn't stop working hard.
In the snow-covered street, a nine-foot-tall man, with a delicate and broad face, about thirty-seven or eight miles away, a big man in purple clothes got up and stopped on the south street of the village.
In the simple small workshop on the side, two old men in plain clothes and silver silk and white hair, the old man turned the fragrant local nuts, and the old woman wrapped all kinds of fragrant nuts for the children with lotus leaves.
When the old woman wrapped the nuts for the children, the big man stepped forward with a smile: Auntie, wrap two packs for me.
The old woman was not happy when she saw it, but she couldn't shirk if she wanted to do business: it was Yuan Cheng! Didn't you move to the city? How can you have a good daughter-in-law to accompany you, and come to the countryside just to buy nuts.
Yuan Cheng smiled helplessly, and the old man stopped when he saw it: You are Yuan Cheng's eldest brother, and it is not your fault that you have been away from home for many years. You also know the character of your rich daughter-in-law, and when you are an uncle, you will talk a lot, and your brother should persuade or persuade.
After hearing this, Yuan Tai saluted: Yes, what Uncle said is true, then I'll go back and have a look first. After Yuan Tai finished speaking, he put down the copper coin and left with his purse.
Came with nuts wrapped in a purse. Look at the room full of all kinds of hunting tools, short knives, bows and arrows, put down the nuts and sit down: Yuantai, the New Year, you can't stop and rest, and don't buy some New Year's goods back?
Yuan Cheng, a big man with a slightly dark face, is nine feet tall and slightly stronger than Yuan Tai, wearing coarse cloth clothes and putting down his work with a smile after hearing this. Carrying the copper kettle on the stove, he strolled to the table and sat down to make tea: Big brother, it is natural for the son to inherit his father's business, and I can also go to the mountains to catch wild animals and send them to the city to sell, how good. My mother is not in good health, and you are busy every day, so you refuse to send it back.
Yuan Tai was very displeased when he heard this: How can I send it back? You're twenty-eight, and you're still a bachelor, so you can't forget your small hair. You don't even see the person you introduced, and you let your mother follow you to eat leftovers every day, and you have someone to take care of it when you send it back. Your sister-in-law is a little stingy and eccentric, and she offends a town of people with that unreasonable ugly mouth, but at least she can let her live a decent life!
After hearing this, Yuan Cheng smiled and gave the tea to Yuan Tai: Don't mention those, by the way, you wait, I'll bring you two furs out.
After Yuan Cheng finished speaking, he entered the inner room, Yuan Tai didn't know his brother yet, and he didn't stop him if he couldn't stop it. Xiao Yuancheng hugged two black animal skins with clear light, and said with a smile as he walked: I haven't run much to the inner mountain this year, and I won't go to see my mother when the snow is heavy. My sister-in-law has always wanted good fur on her, so take it back when you come back!
Yuan Tai sighed after hearing this: I came to let you enter the lying city next month, first, to see your mother, and secondly, your sister-in-law showed you the girl. I know you're not very patient with your sister-in-law's nagging, but Fenfen's business has been going on for more than ten years, and she would have found it if she could have found it. The eldest brother also looks forward to you living a good life, and my father has not been alive for more than a few years, and I am the eldest brother who has the right to restrain you.
Yuan Cheng was helpless after hearing this, lowered his head and smiled: Have you done the New Year's goods? I still have my mother's favorite wild yellow mutton, I just hunted it yesterday and it's fresh, I'll get it.
After hearing this, Yuantai slapped the table unhappily: Sit down, why every time I mention something to you, you are your mother-in-law. You are a big man, you are not afraid to hunt and deal with jackals all day long, are you so shy when you see a woman? Do you want your mother to eat and sleep all day long for your sake?
After hearing this, Yuan Cheng sat down helplessly and didn't know what to say,
Yuan Tai took a sip of tea: Just now I came back and walked all the way back, the people in the town are still so indifferent. It's as if our old Wang family owes them eight carts of grain, and you look at those people who wish we were good. Young people go out and run, and some of them are small, but you are still calm and dusty with the past. Listen to my brother's advice, the past is like smoke, and the past is over, okay!
Yuan Cheng nodded helplessly after hearing this,
Yuantai took a sip of tea and got up: It's not too early, it's not easy to walk on the road, and I didn't bring you any New Year's goods. It's the New Year, how many things are sold for the New Year, and when you enter the city after the New Year, your sister-in-law said that you married a daughter-in-law, and then I will get you a workshop.
Yuan Cheng can say anything, don't say anything, take the animal skin to send Yuan Tai, and wait for Yuan Cheng to tie the animal skin. Yuan Taicai pulled the horse: Remember my words, don't always be stubborn and bitter yourself.
Yuan Cheng nodded with a smile, and Yuan Taicai pulled the horse away.
When Yuan Cheng, whose heart was like a knife, returned to the house, he threw his resentment on the iron to vent his inner pain and make his heart feel better.
On the banks of the beautiful mountain river, a woman in a white dress with a petite and delicate face, with a delicate and full face, is only fifteen or sixteen years old, running in the mountains and forests with a wreath made of wild flowers. Behind him was a young man of sixteen or seventeen who followed with a smile, shouting as he chased: Fenfen, Fenfen, you slow down, there is a ditch in front.
After hearing this, Fen Fen turned around and ran: Brother Cheng, hurry up, I can't wait to see if the birds hatch.
Yuan Cheng stopped gasping for breath after hearing this, and as soon as he took two breaths, a hoarse cry came.
Yuan Chengyi shouted when he heard it: Fenfen, Fenfen, what's wrong with you.
Yuan Cheng ran while shouting, and ran thirty zhang in front of him, and a turbulent deep valley several zhang wide blocked the way. On the fork of the tree on the bank of the river valley, a silk curtain was hung that removed the tail of Fenfen's skirt.
In the drowsy house, Yuan Hong, who was sweating profusely, trembled his forehead, and Fen Fen's name was in his mouth. When he was awakened by a nightmare, he sat up and slowly took Yuan Cheng, only to know that it was a scene that he had often dreamed about recently. Look out the window for a hundred miles, there is no moonlight, only the bleak cold wind and the fall of the blizzard.
The helpless Yuan Cheng looked out the window, thinking back to this Fen Fen's smile, and there was a moist helplessness and lonely cold in the corners of his eyes. After sitting for half an hour, Yuan Cheng still got up and changed his clothes, loaded his bow with arrows on his back, picked up the six-foot straight knife on the wall, and locked the door and went to Xishan.
On the banks of the Xishan River, in front of a collapsed and dilapidated ruin, a long-lost face finally appeared. A snow-white python as white as snow revealed her beautiful figure from under the ruins. The rising heat left a ring on the cold snow, and after retracting its tail, it destroyed itself without much thought.
The eyes are full of longing, and the blood is full of temperature, after the blood is quickly spliced along the circle. The seal was naturally broken, and the hundred snakes rushed into the ruins and swallowed a baby wrapped in cotton wool. Suddenly, the white snake seemed to lose its mind, and the huge heat coming from its body made its skin scales fall off.
The painful white snake has a messy throat with the ancient pine forest stream, colliding with himself and trying to sober himself up. It wasn't until it hit the upper barrier and bounced back that the white snake gritted its teeth and endured the pain in his abdomen. Obviously, White Snake is about to give birth, and the incomparable pain makes it painful, but this is her choice to survive the catastrophe.
Two days later, the white snake, which was almost about to collapse and hold its breath, finally came to the doll's cry after tightening its skin and roaring angrily. And at this time, the enveloping barrier was naturally broken, and the tribulation of the White Snake Transformation was also over.
The smooth skin like jade, the black and bright hair, even if the prostration makes the white snake feel satisfied. Before he could take two breaths, a man's voice called out in the forest: Fenfen, Fenfen.
After hearing this, the white snake hurriedly summoned the cotton wool prepared earlier, wrapped the crying child, and summoned the purple lotus purse and put it into the cotton wool. Sending hot lips and putting down the child, he turned into a snake and returned to the ruins, and disappeared without a trace.
In the green pine forest stream with a thick grinding plate, stepping on the snow half a leg deep, shouting a glimmer of hope in my heart. Yuan Cheng walked through the mountains for two days, and came to the forest stream that he had dreamed of for several days. He has been here more than once, and he has been disappointed more than once, and this is also a disappointing ending.
The helpless Yuan Cheng leaned on the dead trees of the snow-covered forest, took off the gourd on his waist and warmed himself up, looking at the white snow in the sky, and his heart was sad to crush this indomitable man. It wasn't until the crisp and loud sound of the doll came that the frustrated and lost Yuan Tai stood up in surprise and immediately.
The loud cry of the doll made Yuan Hong not react for a while, how could there be a doll's cry in this vast mountain range. The puzzled Yuan Cheng immediately drew his sword and began to want to retreat, but he ran two steps and stopped, and he had to stop because of his kindness.
After gritting his teeth and thinking for a moment, he took two sips of wine, and slowly approached the place where the doll's cry was vigilantly with knives in both hands. When he could see the child who was about to be covered in heavy snow, Yuan Cheng ran forward to pick up the child without thinking. Look at the empty snow around you: oh my! Anyone? Anyone?
Yuan Cheng saw that no one answered, so he hurriedly took off his fur coat and wrapped the child in it, only to find that it was not an ordinary person's purse. Yuan Cheng didn't think much about putting away the purse after seeing it, and hurriedly wrapped the fur for the child, so the child stopped crying. Only then did he run in the snow with the child in his arms and called: Is there anyone? Is there anyone nearby?
Yuan Cheng's throat was about to burst after a day, and he couldn't find anyone, so he had no choice but to draw a knife and cut down a large sawdust on the pine tree. Biting his finger and writing that the child was at Yuancheng's house in Yunzhen, he drew an arrow and fixed it on the pine tree, and looked back before leaving Linxi.
At dawn the next day, Yuan Cheng, who had walked all night with his child in his arms, finally arrived in his yard, but the house was brightly lit and the door was also pasted with a New Year's red lantern. The puzzled Yuan Cheng looked around at his own home! Scratching his head in confusion.
At this time, the door of the house opened, and a man about nine feet tall, with a delicate face draped in jet-black hair, a slender and full face of about twenty-five or sixties, wearing a green embroidered skirt and a snow-white cape, walked out. The hot and plump figure looked at Yuan Tai holding the child in a daze.
Yuan Cheng hurriedly slapped himself in surprise: This is an illusion, this is an illusion, I must have hit something unknotted, it must be an illusion.
At this time, the woman stepped forward with a smile: Brother Cheng, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay!
Yuan Cheng smiled embarrassedly after hearing this: Okay, good.
After hearing this, Fen Fen hugged Yuan Cheng, and Yuan Cheng knew that this was not an illusion, this was the goddess Fen Fen in his mind who had been looking for Fa Xiao for many years. Yuan Cheng was embarrassed and just wanted to hug Fenfen, but Fen Fen did let go of the cotton wool of the child in Yuan Tai's arms, revealing a sleeping fat little face.
Before Yuan Cheng could speak, Fen Fen took the child and held him in his arms: It's so cute!
Yuan Cheng scratched his head with a smile after hearing this: I picked it up in the forest, and I didn't find anyone after looking for it for a day, so I hugged it back for fear that something would happen to the child.
Fen Fen smiled after hearing this: It's cold outside, let's go inside!
Yuan Cheng laughed after hearing this: Hey!
