Chapter 325: Song of the Mountain God
Shen Nianyi couldn't help but glance out the window, although the sky was still dark, he knew that it was already late spring and early summer, where did the snow come from, he turned his head to look at the young man again, the young lady had already sent tea in, and when she handed it over, her hands trembled, and the young lady had already believed this person's words, at least six or seven percent.
"You brought my mother's token?" Shen Nian asked as soon as he finished drinking the water.
"What is a token?" The boy asked rhetorically.
"She said show it to me, and I'll believe you." Shen Nianyi's explanation is simple.
The young man immediately understood, and he took out a bracelet from his arms and gave it to Shen Nianyi: "I have already shown it to that aunt, and I have been carefully collecting it and not letting others touch it." ”
Shen Nianyi naturally recognized this bracelet, his mother's favorite mutton fat white jade bracelet, it is said that when she was not married, she was already regarded as a treasure, and she never took it off again, and later got married and had children, and her body was plump, so she couldn't take it off, his fingertips brushed on the warm jade bracelet, and his mother once said with a smile that this bracelet was about to be worn for a lifetime, and it really couldn't be taken off.
Now, but in the arms of a strange young man, Shen Nian quickly raised his head, he saw that when his mother stretched out her wrist, this bracelet was already tightly attached to the skin, there was no gap, such a size could not be taken off at all, unless it was, unless it was, someone cut off his mother's wrist!
Thinking of this, he couldn't calm down, stepped forward, and grabbed the young man's arm: "Where the hell are they!" You'd better not lie, or I'll make your life worse than death! ”
Seeing that he suddenly became excited, the young man seemed to not understand the reason, so he grabbed his hair with his other hand and said, "They have entered the mountain, I just said that they have not come back after entering the mountain, so I came to report the news." ”
"What's going on with this bracelet!"
"The night before Mrs. Shen went up the mountain, she took it off and gave me a map, and taught me how to find you."
"You said my mother took off the bracelet herself?" Shen Nian asked word by word.
"Yes, when she took it off, she smiled and said, Nian'er will probably be surprised when she sees this." The young man didn't see the slightest hint of panic, and it didn't seem like he was lying, "You hurt me to catch me, Shen Gongzi, I just want to come and talk to you, they probably won't come back for the rest of their lives." ”
If Shen Nianyi hadn't seen that he really didn't look like a villain, he had already broken that arm and would never come back for the rest of his life, how could the person in front of him understand it or not, how could he speak so calmly!
"Shen Gongzi, this is a good thing, the mountain god keeps them as guests, this is their blessing." The young man waited for him to slowly let go of his hand, and actually laughed and said, "Don't worry, although we won't see each other in the future, it's really a good thing that we can't think of, and we have to wake up laughing when we dream." ”
Shen Nian heard that his speech was a little unclear, and knew that at this time, impatience was the taboo: "Sister-in-law Qing, make a bowl of noodles, and get a few side dishes for him to eat, I see that he has also walked a long way, and then ask him slowly after eating." ”
Sister-in-law Qing has not recovered from the shock, she agreed, stumbled out, walked to the threshold, and almost fell down, the young man heard that there was something to eat, and found a chair to sit down: "The bracelet has been given to you, I will go back after eating, the road is too far, and when I return home, it is too late to go snowcocking." ”
In that way, it seemed that he had really been gone for a few months just to pass on the word, Shen Nianyi looked him up and down suspiciously, looked at his clothes, and then looked at his facial features: "You are from Xishu Country, not from our Heavenly Empire." ”
"Yes, I'm from the West Tree." The young man didn't shy away from it, and nodded with a smile, "Have you also been to the West Tree?" ”
"I haven't been."
"That's a pity, the scenery of the West Tree is beautiful." The boy pointed to himself and said, "My name is Ah Yi, and I am the eldest child in the family. ”
"Ah Yi." Shen Nianyi repeated.
"Yes, Madame said, my name is very similar to Shen Gongzi's, so she is very good to me." Ah Yi always smiled, "Good people have good rewards, so the mountain gods left them and didn't let them go." ”
Shen Nianyi quieted down, Sister-in-law Qing brought steaming noodles, Ah Yi ate happily, he sorted out all the things he had said, his parents went to Xishu Country, before hiking, his father did mention a sentence, saying that he wanted to see different customs and customs, so it was normal to go to Xishu Country.
Probably met Ah Yi at the foothold, I don't know which mountain they want to enter, and thinking about the danger in the mountain, I left a message to Ah Yi, if they can't come back, they will come to Tiandu to report a message, Ah Yi waited for thirty days, knowing that the wait was hopeless, set off, and walked for several months, just for the promised word.
Shen Nianyi's gaze moved down, and when he saw Ah Yi's calves, when he took his hand, he knew very well that Ah Yi had no martial arts, but the lines of those calves were smooth and powerful, and they were clearly very suitable for hiking, trekking, and the pace should be faster than ordinary people.
Over there, Ah Yi had already finished drinking the noodle soup, ate all the dishes of the dishes, patted his stomach with satisfaction, and said, "I didn't run in vain this time, I ate something delicious." ”
As soon as Shen Nian saw him stand up, he clearly meant to go home, and coughed lightly, "Where are you going?" ”
"When you go home, where else can you go," Ah Yi asked rhetorically, "Didn't you already receive a message from me?" ”
"What kind of mountain you are talking about, and why the two of them want to enter the mountain, you haven't said these yet." Shen Nianyi has already determined that Ah Yi is not a bad person, let alone a murderer, otherwise he would not be so stupid and sent it to the door himself.
"The mountain is the Liangzhao Mountain on the border of the West Tree, they heard a legend, they were very curious and said that they wanted to go into the mountain to see, I knew that the mountain was dangerous and said that it was not possible now, Mrs. smiled and asked me, when will it work, I thought about it again and again, and felt that it would not work at any time if it was just two people." Ah Yi has some preambles and afterwords, and thinks of where to say.
Shen Nianyi picked the most critical question and asked, "What legend?" Tell me about it, too. ”
Ah glanced at the beads and turned around twice, and such a sliding head made him make a kind of naughty childishness: "We have a local person to tell stories, and we have a special one." ”
Shen Nianyi didn't wait for him to finish speaking: "Sister-in-law, take some more cooked meat, the more the merrier." ”
Ah Yi was stunned: "Really, this is true." ”
Shen Nianyi asked in a deep voice, "What is true?" ”
"Madame said that Shen Gongzi is the smartest, and he can guess the other half as long as he talks to him halfway, I didn't believe it at the time, but Madam said that if I see Shen Gongzi one day, I will believe it." Ah Yi slapped his thigh heavily, "I already believe it, I haven't said anything yet, but Shen Gongzi has touched my mind thoroughly." ”
Since he was convinced, he didn't take Joe, and while twisting the sauced beef on the plate, he told the legend of his hometown.
Ah Yi lives at the junction of the Celestial Empire and the West Tree, although the West Tree and the Celestial Empire are not out of harmony with the Celestial Empire, but unlike the Shun Heavenly Kingdom, the war continues, the people on both sides do not have too many suspicions, and they get along well, his home is at the bottom of the Liangzhao Mountain, there are only two seasons on the Liangzhao Mountain, there are nine months of snow in the year, and the remaining three months, the weather is not so bad, and the hunting skills nearby are good, they will go into the mountains to catch some rare prey, and supplement the family.
However, there is an unwritten rule in Liangzhao Mountain, but only when you see the glow on the top of the mountain, you can enter the mountain, otherwise, no one wants to enter freely, it must be gone without news, this rule is said to have been passed on for too many years, every few years, there are always people who do not believe in evil, greedy for those snowcocks and snow rabbits, and want to go in when they can't enter the mountain, go in to get more benefits, but these people have never come back.
There is a sign to enter the mountain, there is a mountain closure, probably a few days before the snow, there will be faint music in the mountain, no one can say what the tune is, even if those people in their seventies and eighties, listen to it for a lifetime, they still can't hum the complete tune, only say that the mountain god is singing, shouting everyone to go home quickly, and then enter the mountain next year.
When Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen went to the village where Ah Yi lived, there had been music, everyone was very serious, no one had gone into the mountains to hunt since that day, when Mrs. Shen heard this legend, she also regretted slightly, saying that it was impossible to wait here for nine months, she was particularly curious about the song of the mountain god, and asked many old people in the village in a row, and really did not ask the same two answers.
She asked Ah Yi if she had heard it, and Ah nodded and said, "I have heard it, I have heard it every year since I can remember." ”
"So, will you sing?"
"No, it won't." He shook his head heavily, and said in the tone of the old man, "This is because the mountain god doesn't want others to learn it, so after listening to it, he forgot about it, and he can't remember it, only the mountain god can do it in this world." ”
Mrs. Shen smiled and touched his head, Ah Yi was simple-minded but not stupid, he knew that Mrs. Shen didn't believe this, she wanted to go to the mountains too much, he heard her and Mr. Shen say at least four or five times, but Mr. Shen refused, Mr. Shen's temper is excellent, every time he comforted, since this is the rule of people for many years, it always makes sense, don't deliberately destroy it, next time you come back after the date, it's not that there is no chance to enter the mountain.
Mrs. Shen sighed twice and decided to give up, but unexpectedly, about five or six days later, Ah Yi woke up in the morning, opened the window, and he saw a red glow on the top of Liangzhao Mountain, which was more conspicuous and vivid than any time he had seen in the past.
He jumped to open the door of Mrs. Shen's house, and told her the good news, which had never happened before, and the song of Fengshan was not long ago, and the glow appeared again, and the whole village was almost boiling, and the old man said that this was a good sign.
However, Ah Yi also discovered one thing, those Orion who are very keen on entering the mountain on weekdays are not ready to move, two days have passed, no one has entered the mountain again, he saw that Mrs. Shen was busy buying a lot of things, and knew that she wanted to enter the mountain, so he went to ask the oldest one at the entrance of the village for her, why didn't everyone else enter the mountain?
