Chapter 9: Outsiders from the Mountains
Tempus fugit.
In a blink of an eye, Ling Xiang followed his brother to Baishan Village, and it had been a full year.
She is almost five years old.
He grew taller, and his two horns were longer.
Eleven-year-old Ling Su grew faster, half a head taller than before.
The strength is also getting bigger and bigger.
When you are full, you can lift the stone mill at the head of the village without changing your face.
This amazed the villagers and at the same time warmed up their siblings.
With such a "strong man" in the village, waiting for some robbers or bullying from neighboring villages, it is necessary to weigh and weigh.
It's a good thing for the whole village.
It's just that their enthusiasm is limited to words.
Everyone's life is hard, and there is nothing superfluous to come up with to please others.
The living conditions of the brother and sister this year are a portrayal of all the villagers in the village:
Even though Ling Su brought back two golden pheasants when he first went into the mountains to hunt, the color was very good.
But that doesn't mean you'll get something out every time.
More often than not, I can only bring back some wild vegetables, mountain mushrooms and other mountain goods.
Life is extraordinarily hard.
Sometimes, after several days of not being able to hunt prey, the brother and sister can only drink wild vegetable porridge every day.
Don't drink too thick yet.
Otherwise, the corn at home will be eaten in a few days.
On average, in a month, Ling Su can only catch one wild goat in the mountains, plus three or five hares, a few golden pheasants and other small animals.
When you don't catch prey, you can take a few eggs from the nest and bring them back and cook them in porridge.
For Ling Xiang, it was a very good add-on.
Lacking experience, coupled with the lack of a strong weapon, it was difficult for Ling Su to catch large predators with only a bamboo bow.
Tigers, wolves, black jackals, leopards......
If you can't catch these things, you can't use their furs to go to the city to exchange for corn, salt tea, and other necessities.
Not to mention spending money to pull a few feet of cloth to make new clothes for Ling Xiang.
In this world, for many mortals, being able to eat enough every day is already a luxury.
……
Poor to poor.
Ling Xiang has been very happy in the year he has lived in Baishan Village.
Even though the clothes on her body have long been unworn, full of patches, and even hungry from time to time, she is still very satisfied.
After her brother Ling Su went into the mountains to hunt, she went to the village to play with her peers.
In this way, when Ling Su came back, she would be able to see her brother for the first time.
In the evening, the brother and sister eat together, and she has learned to wash the dishes, so she will volunteer to do the things of washing the dishes and washing the pots after eating at night.
Occasionally, when Ling Su was resting at home, Ling Xiang would pester his brother to play together.
The grimace mask is their only toy.
But it doesn't matter, she can take turns with her brother to wear and play, some small games that seem extremely childish, Ling Xiang can pester Ling Su to play from morning to night, and she is very happy.
Ling Su never showed an impatient look.
They seem to have been born to be a brother and sister.
In this way, two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Ling Xiang is six years old.
I just had my birthday yesterday.
She didn't actually remember her birthday, so Ling Su set her birthday on the day they first met in Qushui City.
Three years is enough time to change many things,
For example, Ling Su has gradually developed the potential to become the strongest hunter in the village, such as Ling Xiang has learned how to sew clothes, laundry and cook.
What remains unchanged is that she is still extraordinarily dependent on her brother.
As long as Ling Su went into the mountains to hunt, or went to the city to sell mountain goods, she would play in the village all day long, waiting for Ling Su to come back.
That afternoon, Ling Xiang played with his friends at the entrance of the village as usual.
While the children were having fun, one of the little boys suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted to the crowd:
"Look, there's a rainbow!"
Four or five little radish heads looked in unison in the direction of the little boy's finger.
I saw several colorful rainbows in the sky in the distance, extending towards the village at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Flying towards Being, to be exact.
"Those rainbows are so beautiful, they're still flying towards us, it's amazing, do you know what they are?" A little girl stood beside Ling Xiang, her eyes wide open, full of curiosity.
"Sister Xiaoxuan, those are not rainbows, they are immortal masters." Ling Xiang said.
She was also staring intently at the galloping "rainbows".
Ling Xiang clearly remembered that three years ago, when she and her brother had just left Qushui City, they had seen this kind of rainbow outside the city.
At that time, those rainbows flew very low.
She saw the traces left by someone flying over it, so she asked Uncle Pei, who was full of black beards, if those people were immortals.
"Isn't the immortal master very powerful? I heard Uncle Zhang say that those immortal masters are all immortals living in the sky. "The little girl named Xiaoxuan is only half a year older than Ling Xiang, and her voice is very immature.
"I don't know." Ling Xiang shook his head slightly.
At this time, another little boy cried out: "Ah, look, the immortal master seems to have fallen down on us." ”
I saw that those Changhongs who were speeding were originally flying at an altitude of nearly three hundred zhang above the ground, and when they saw that they were about to fly above the village, the four Changhongs suddenly fell straight down.
Brush Brush Brush ......
In the blink of an eye, a blazing divine light fell from the sky.
In the next breath, the brilliance faded, and several figures met Ling Xiang's eyes.
Three of them were gorgeously dressed, wearing a green silk feather coat with the texture of Yun Jintian's silk, and the leader was wearing a purple and gold crown, exuding a powerful aura on his body.
The other two are markedly different.
One had a rough face, a dark complexion, and wore a black shirt with a forged cardigan.
The last one is even more mundane.
The clothes were no different from those of the ordinary mountain people in the village, and he looked like an ordinary mountain man, and his face was full of panic at this time.
"This is Baishan Village?" The middle-aged man wearing a purple and gold crown asked, his eyes shining like electricity.
"Yes...... Master Immortal, this is here, this is Baishan Village. The mountain man nodded hurriedly, trembling and incoherent,
After receiving an affirmative answer, one of the long-faced men dressed in green silk feathers raised his hand and beckoned to Ling Xiang and them.
"Little doll, come here." The tone was a little cold.
Although a few little radish heads were a little afraid, in the face of such gorgeously dressed and extraordinary characters, they were naturally suppressed and did not dare to disobey.
Ling Xiang and a few other friends pursed the corners of their mouths and cautiously took a few steps closer.
"Uncle, what's the matter?" Ling Xiang asked.
"Is there a boy named Ling Su in this village?" The long-faced man asked indifferently.
As soon as these words came out, several little guys suddenly showed different colors, and they all looked at Ling Xiang in unison.
