Chapter 3: Patriarch!

Seeing a few ruffians starting to run into the water, the hero Yang Xu didn't want to suffer a loss in front of him, and began to cross the river. His water quality is good, and the girls and monkeys hanging on his body are relatively light, and there are no two taels of meat, so there is basically no effect.

"Where to run!" The ruffians go into the water like dumplings, and the maiden and the little monkey are their cash cows. Can people slip away like this?

But soon they became confused in the water and did not dare to move forward. Just a dozen meters in front of the river, there was a very strange whirlpool, like a funnel flying around, which engulfed the object they were chasing in the blink of an eye, leaving only the river rolling.

In this case, they did not dare to advance in any case, climbed ashore at a faster speed and gathered in front of the woman: "Boss, that guy is probably hanging, we better get out of here quickly?"

"It's none of my business that they jumped into the river themselves - we'll see first." The woman's mouth was bluffing, and her heart was a little uncertain. A pair of triangular eyes glued to the surface of the river.

Tourists on the shore began to talk, and soon there was a small commotion. Because a couple of guys are lying that there was a big tornado on the river three days ago. It is also said that at that time, it covered the sky and rumbled like the end of the world. Now there is a whirlpool on the river, and maybe the tornado will reappear.

Naturally, some people don't believe it. As a result, one guy took out his phone and showed everyone the photos taken two days ago. Good guy, I saw a big black pillar in the middle of the picture, connected to the rolling dark clouds, and even squeezed out the muddy waves, which was daunting.

"Look, there's a dragon in a tornado. It's a monster of the Tribulation. That guy has obviously read too much in his immortal cultivation novels, attracting a circle of disdainful glances: beauty. National tornado that is called more than one. According to your statement, are there a lot of immortal cultivators?

People discussed it for ten minutes. Just when everyone was pessimistic, a ruffian pointed to the opposite embankment and shouted, "There it is!"

Sure enough, a figure appeared on the bank across the river. Sure enough, it was Yang Xu and that girl. Even the little monkey hung on Yang Xu's lap.

"Chase!" The woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if she brought up the life lawsuit, she couldn't get rid of it.

Although it is only separated by a river, it is only a few tens of meters away, so you need to bypass the bridge in the distance, and you can't get there in half an hour. The group hadn't gone far before Yang Xu, who had been climbing the river embankment, moved. He cried and spat out a few mouthfuls of the murky Yellow River water, struggled a few times, and tried to stand up, only to find the girl and the monkey still holding his thighs.

So he hurriedly controlled the water for the girl, and hurriedly pressed a few times on the little monkey's stomach.

The little monkey grinned and spat out a mouthful of yellow soup with a small fish about an inch long with a wagging tail, which was then pinched by the little monkey's paw and stuffed into the monkey's mouth.

This monkey can really eat - Yang Xu looked stunned for a moment, and estimated that this little monkey must have felt safe, so he looked at the girl again.

"Uncle-uncle-" The girl's eyes also widened, and after seeing Yang Xu's appearance clearly, she immediately grinned and called out vaguely.

Although it was called not long ago, Yang Xu knew that he must be called "uncle" this time, because from the girl's clear big eyes, he felt unparalleled kindness, dependence and trust. Obviously, the girl has already treated him as a relative, and she is the dearest relative.

"Girl, I recognize you!" Yang Xu rubbed the little guy's dirty hair lovingly. They had just experienced life and death together, and their destinies had long been firmly tied together.

Looking back at the rolling river, Yang Xu feels that he is lucky for the rest of his life. Even he himself didn't know how to whip ashore. It's just a trance to remember: I was dragged to the bottom of the water by an irresistible force, and then I lost consciousness completely as soon as I was cold, and when I woke up again, I was already ashore.

Yang Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "If you survive, you will be lucky", but he didn't know that after they were swept into the bottom of the river, in the center of the whirlpool, there was a shining bead, bigger than his fist, shining with a misty halo. The beads magically floated above his head and then turned into countless points of light that burrowed into his body. Including the girl and the little monkey who hugged him, in fact, they all got their own light-

Yang Xu thought that he had a big life, got up and looked around, and soon understood his situation. He hurriedly picked up the girl and left the place where he could not stay for long. As soon as he took two steps, he felt a black shadow flashing in front of him, and then his arm sank, and when he looked down, the little monkey jumped into his arms.

You rely on me too, don't you? Yang Xu saw that the little girl and the little monkey were snuggling up to each other and were very affectionate. It is estimated that there is a friendship, so I "raised" the little monkey.

Run all the way back to the rental house. Yang Xu lives in a suburb and rents a dilapidated bungalow. The yard is not big, and there are all kinds of garbage everywhere, all of which belong to Yang Xu. The bottles were crushed and tied into bundles, and the paper shells were tied into bags, and there was a neatness in the mess.

Pack up your things and leave quickly, those bad guys will be in trouble - after washing his face, Yang Xu will have to make a decision immediately. In fact, he wants to clean up those bad guys more, but with his small size, he is still a gentleman to take revenge. Ten years is not too late.

Busy cooking a pot of noodles, watching the girl and the little monkey look like the wind and clouds, this is called a fragrant. Yang Xu really didn't feel good in his heart: it is estimated that these two often go hungry at every meal.

After eating two bowls of noodles, he contacted a colleague and threw away all the rags inside and outside the house, and got 500 yuan, which was estimated to be enough for the journey. He took a bus to the north. One is to avoid the wind, and the other is that Qingming is coming. Every year at this time, he would return to his hometown to visit the grave of the old man.

This year is not ordinary, I recognized a girl in a daze, and I have to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors. Yang Xu still sighed with emotion in his heart: I was picked up by the old man back then, and in my generation, I also inherited the revolution. The fine tradition of life. Is this an old cat sleeping in the room, passed down from generation to generation-

"Yang Xu, are you going to collect the mountain?" The old man who collected the garbage also saw some clues.

Yang Xu hehe, locked the door and left directly. I went to the train station and bought a train ticket, and I felt at ease.

Looking at the incomparably bustling metropolis around him, Yang Xu couldn't help but look bitter. For him, the reinforced concrete tall building is a cold cage!

He finally realized that in this bustling metropolis, there was no world for him. The asphalt roads in the city are too hard. He couldn't leave any footprints at all. No matter how much sweat and tears he shed, he could only be a passerby. Perhaps only the hometown where he was born and raised is his true home.

Thinking of the quiet mountain village in his hometown, Yang Xu's mood suddenly became clear, and he suddenly had a feeling of fluttering immortals. There was only one thought in his head: go home, go home, go home...

In April in the Northern Kingdom, the snow and ice begin to melt, and spring is still cold. As far as the eye can see, the slightly undulating mountains are bare, and the vitality is still dormant underground.

In the distance, a young man appeared from the hills, his black hair swaying in the cold wind, his fat face, and only a pair of very clear eyes, which were unforgettable.

As the young man showed half of his body, another small head appeared next to him. It was a woman of four or five years old, with thin cheeks, but both cheeks were red, and a pair of big eyes flashing, especially intelligent.

After the woman's upper body was fully exposed, a Tibetan mastiff could be seen next to her. It is snow-white, small but sensitive, with round eyes that are always moving.

As he walked, the young man picked up the woman and let her ride it around her neck; The Tibetan mastiff raised its head, then bared its teeth, climbed up the young man's bare legs, climbed onto the woman's shoulders, and rode around her neck in a similar way. All horizontal lines become all columns at once. Oh, and it should be all the vertical lines.

Yes, this is a homecoming group that has fled the metropolis and is returning home.

"Lan Lan, Xiaobai, work hard, we're almost home!" Lao Wang did not forget to cheer for the two little ones. Because this woman's voice is broken, she can only babble most of the time, so she is called Lan Lan. As for why the Tibetan mastiff is called Xiaobai, of course, it is at the bottom of the trio.

After spending all their savings, the group finally arrived at the nearest town to Grizzly Tun, Duolun Naoer, which belongs to Inner Mongolia and means seven big bubbles in Mongolian. It is located on the border between the Great Khing'an Mountains and Inner Mongolia. Locals are more accustomed to calling it the Seven Star Bubble.

It's really not easy on the road, especially with the burden of Xiaobai, it's very inconvenient to take the train. In the end, Lao Wang tried his best, bought a small blanket to wrap Xiaobai tightly, and pretended that he was a baby in his arms, so he passed the security check.

Holding a small woman in his arms and a big woman behind his back, Lao Wang's face was ugly: young people should be considered super life guerrillas. Unsurprisingly, the poorer they are, the poorer they get.

Xiaobai was very angry and stuffy when he was wrapped inside. Sometimes she can't help but show her face to breathe. As a result, Yang Xu heard someone nearby say that the child was born prematurely and had not grown up yet.

I hate it when Wang explains to others: This kid follows his mother--

I was worried for days, but I was getting closer and closer to home. However, for the last 50 miles from Seven Star Bubbles to Grizzly Bear Tun, we could only use the most primitive way.

Walking on the yellowed wasteland, you can occasionally see a bunch of sparse bushes that have just sprouted, heralding the long overdue arrival of spring. However, most of the land is inhospitable. Seeing this, Yang Xu sighed in his heart: In just a few years, the meadow has been destroyed!

I remember when I was a child, the water and grass here were very beautiful, and it was still an endless prairie, with cattle and sheep everywhere, rabbits, foxes and wolves. When he was a child, it was a paradise for him to play. But now, only sand remains.

And those huge pools and meandering rivers, like pearls on the savannah, have now dried up, leaving only deep pits and winding riverbeds. Once upon a time, there were flocks of waterfowl here. As a child, he and his friends came here to collect wild duck eggs, as well as larger swan eggs. Now without water, the steppe will lose life, not to mention swan eggs and swan farts.

His eyes were so desolate that Lao Wang's joy at returning home was diluted. However, in the midst of his grief, he also felt something. The dry riverbed seemed to call him strongly. Even the blood in his body was restless, and it seemed that it would burst out at any moment, and the water gushed out along with the spring underground.

What made him feel even more incredible was that his thoughts, as if through the thick sand, went dozens of meters deep underground, and then felt something that strongly attracted him. It is a white and bright underground water, boundless, containing great vitality and power. His whole body and mind wanted to be part of it, to be free-spirited, to roam freely.

Hallucinations, must be hallucinations. Lao Wang couldn't help but shake his head. He's kind of silly.

Knock knock knock knock knock on the head, turned around and saw Xiaobai sitting on his shoulder, holding an empty Coke bottle in his paws, shaking at him.

"Thirsty, bear with it, wait for you to jump into the well. Where are you going? Oh, I'm going! Lao Wang said that suddenly a strange cry came, which shocked him greatly. A column of clear water appeared before him along with his thoughts. The water column was already attached to his fingertips, like a small silver dragon of two or three meters, shining in the sun.

Although the water column is only as thick as chopsticks, it is so real that Lao Wang can even feel its joy, as if it were alive. The feeling of coolness and humidity is not an illusion.

It's - Lao Wang is a little stupid: is this what I did? I just thought about it for a moment.

Barter, Xiaobai was really thirsty and put his mouth on the water column to drink. I probably drank well. After eating, I patted my stomach and hiccups for a long time.

Lan Lan also filled the Coke bottle to the brim. After drinking it, her big eyes became brighter and brighter: it was really delicious.

Lao Wang couldn't help but take two bites. It was sweet, heartwarming, like drinking a glass of sweet spring water, which seemed to bring him back to the familiar sensations and tastes of his childhood.

There is water. It turns out that there is still a large amount of groundwater underground. If we can bring it out, will the grasslands be able to regain their vitality? Lao Wang couldn't help but get excited. As a result, the water column trembled a few times and then disappeared. The yellow sand is still in front of us.

What's the matter, Xiaobai played with Lao Wang's fingers with his little paws: Why is the faucet still off? I haven't eaten yet.

Wang tried a few more times. Yes, he can really use the groundwater in the sand. Although he is not strong enough, he can use his best efforts to create a column of water the thickness of an egg.

Even so, it made him ecstatic. You know, the Seven Star Bubble has springs. As long as you dredge it again, you don't have to worry about running out of water.

Although I don't know where this power comes from, it doesn't stop Lao Wang from howling in his throat for a long time: this beloved land finally has hope of recovery. As we get closer to our hometown, the desire to put down roots is getting stronger --

Finally, after a long journey of more than five or six hours, a small village at the foot of the mountain could be seen in front of me. It was getting late, and white smoke was curling up from the village, and it looked so warm.

1. Yang Xu, it's back again - with a loud bang, the grievances and grievances I suffered in this city seem to have disappeared with the wind, and I will never come back.

Ahh I could tell the woman was happy.

Chirp - Xiaobai is not idle, but he is protesting to Yang Xu: I'm hungry again!

The cries and howls were terrible. Several large dogs rushed out of the village, barking wildly and rushing towards this side. These are blue and black long-haired dogs with Mongolian mastiff blood. They were ferocious, and their ancestors dared to pinch steppe wolves. The long hair on the tail is a long bundle of hair that flutters in the wind like a flag, adding some strength.

Xiao Bai had never seen this situation, and jumped directly onto Yang Xu's shoulder with a scream, but Lan Lan was very brave to protect Yang Xu. But her small body is not as tall as a big dog.

In front is a large blue dog with a fluffy mane and a head like a washbasin. He rushed towards Yang Xu and stood up to a person, with two big paws directly on his shoulders.

Lan Lan screamed twice in fright and sat on the ground. Her big eyes were about to close. All she could hear was a whirring sound in her ears. Is it a big dog eating Uncle Chubby's meat?

Thinking of this, Lan Lan's small body was filled with infinite courage. She stood up and opened her eyes. It was hard for her to understand that my uncle seemed happy to hold the big dog's hairy head while the terrible big dog licked his face with his tongue --

"Blackie, do you miss me?" Yang Xu avoided the tiger's tongue and looked at the tiger carefully. There was a slit in his ear. It must have been left over from the fight. Is this so charming?

This tiger was raised by him when he was a child. Later he went to college. The old man also died. His home was empty, so he had to endure the pain and give it to his neighbor, Lao Li. It is said that the tiger does not forget the old owner. Every year when Yang Xu came back to bury the old man in Qingming, Xiao Hei would receive greetings from afar, and then he would be by his side for several days. Speaking of which, in a society where interpersonal relationships are increasingly weak, people are not as emotional as tigers.

After communicating with the other party for a long time, Yang Xu remembered something, so he pulled Lan Lan to himself and officially introduced the other party. Standing in front of the tiger, Lan Lan was half shorter, but her courage was not small. She reached out her little hand and grabbed the tiger's chin, and her little face was full of laughter: this is not a bad tiger!

Xiao Hei also sneered at Lan Lan, then turned around and roared at the tiger. It was black or yellow, and the four eyes on Hua's neck were obediently close to Lan Lan, sniffing Lan Lan for a while, remembering her scent. The meaning is clear: this was reported by the Brothers Grimm. You are not allowed to bite in the future.

In remote rural areas, where all the housekeepers are free-range, the villages are teeming with wildlife. These tigers have a good memory. The villagers never bite them. But if there are strangers, it's hard to say. Especially at night, if a family's tiger starts barking, the tiger of the whole village will bite it in case of thieves. All tigers in the countryside have this ability. Their own chickens, ducks and geese know that they never bully, and if other people's chickens and ducks dig in their own chicken troughs, they will regret it. Tigers will drive ducks away and croak.
