Chapter 55

It wasn't until the waning days that Ye Fuzhong finally came back from hunting.

Lin Anyan heard the knock on the door and looked up, only to see a tall man dressed in a white tiger skin beast suit walking in.

The man carried several dead roe deer in his hands, a meniscus knife pinned to his waist, which was common to northern hunters, and a large bow on his back. Lin Anyan looked at the bow with some doubts.

The bow was so big that the man was at least eight feet tall, but even so, the bow was a little taller than his back.

Lin Anyan has been hunting on horseback since he was a child, and he is naturally familiar with hunting bows, and he has also followed Jiang Zifu to the military camp of King Zhennan, and he has also seen military bows a few times.

But this man's bow is not a hunting bow, nor is it a military bow, it can be said that Lin Anyan has never seen it before.

As soon as Ye Fuzhong entered the house, he saw the three people sitting in the courtyard, and he asked in disbelief, "Engong?"

Situ Xiao shook the feather fan lightly and got up slowly, and said with some helplessness in his tone: "Brother Ye, how many times have you said it, don't call me that, I deserve it." ”

Ye Fuzhong saw that it was really Situ Xiao coming, and hurriedly shouted: "Yingying, Yingying, come out and meet Engong." ”

Ye Yingying heard her father's voice and hurriedly ran out. Ye Fuzhong took Ye Yingying's hand and was about to kneel, but was supported by Situ Xiao.

"How can you father and daughter be virtuous, Yingying has already knelt, and when you just saw Brother Ye, you want to kneel again, won't you break my life. ”

Ye Fuzhong looked at Situ Xiao, his face was full of joy and gratitude, and he hurriedly handed the roe deer in his hand to Ye Yingying, saying that he wanted to have a few drinks with Situ Xiao.

In the evening, Ye Yingying brought out plates and plates of dishes from the kitchen, and in the end, the plates were not enough, so she used rice bowls to serve them.

Lin Anyan looked at the chicken, duck and fish on the table, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "It seems that this family is really grateful to Situ Xiao, this table of big dishes, I'm afraid ordinary farmers can't compare to this abundance in the New Year." ”

It wasn't until Situ Xiao repeatedly said that he couldn't finish eating, that Ye Yingying slowly walked out of the kitchen and sat down.

Several people sat in a circle under the moon, and Ye Fuzhong hurriedly poured wine for Situ Xiao and the others, and he also raised the bowl and drank it all.

During the meal, Ye Fuzhong asked suspiciously, "Engong...... No, Brother Situ, you were chased and fled that year, more than ten years have passed, I thought you had an accident, and now those troubles have been solved?"

Situ Xiao nodded first, then shook his head and said: "Although I haven't said it explicitly, I'm afraid that Brother Ye also knows my identity, and the group of people back then was solved, but how can the trouble be so easy to solve." ”

Ye Fuzhong nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Situ, you are a person who does great things, so naturally you will have trouble." But it's always a little bit of a solution, a little bit of a solution. ”

Situ Xiao drank a bowl of wine, waved a feather fan in his hand, and said in a guilty tone: "It's a pity that back then, I was afraid that if I showed up rashly again, not only would I be in danger, but it would also be easy for your family to catch fire, so I couldn't come to deliver medicine to my wife again, but I didn't expect it... ”

"Brother Situ, don't say that, if it weren't for you, my wife would have passed away long ago, and it would be even more difficult for Yingying to be born, you are the great benefactor of my Ye family." ”

It seemed that he felt that the atmosphere of the dinner was a little heavy, Ye Fuzhong waved his hand and said: "Don't mention the things of the past, Brother Situ, what are the so-called things when you come back this time, since you have found me, I am afraid that there is a place where I am needed." ”

Situ Xiao nodded, pointed to Lin Anyan who was sitting beside him and said, "This little brother is the descendant of a friend of mine, my friend said that he knew a master surnamed Li in Taibai Mountain, and hoped that I would bring him to that person to learn art." ”

Hearing this, Ye Fuzhong frowned and thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It's not a secret, this village is called Baitou Village, naturally there are the most Bai surnames, although there are also a few other surnames, but most of them are from outside here like me, and there is no one surnamed Li." ”

As he spoke, Ye Fuzhong suddenly remembered something, "Although there is no one surnamed Li, I really know one of the masters." ”

Lin Anyan originally thought that he was going to run for nothing, but when he suddenly heard this, he turned around, hurriedly saluted Ye Fuzhong with a bowl of wine, and asked, "Brother Ye, where is the master you said in your mouth?"

"That's actually a legend about Taibai Mountain. As you know, it is rumored that Taibai Mountain in the north and Zhongnan Mountain in the south are the closest places to the Heavenly Palace in the Central Plains. ”

Lin Anyan shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of this kind of statement, Ye Fuzhong continued: "It is said that one hundred and fifty years ago, there was an immortal who was demoted to the world because of violating the rules of heaven, and it was on this Taibai Mountain that he was born. After that, the immortal has been staying in this Taibai Mountain to slay demons and eliminate demons to guard the safety of one side, just so that one day, he can open the gate of heaven and re-rank the immortal class. ”

Hearing this story, Lin Anyan, Situ Xiaoqi, and Li Yun secretly glanced at each other.

One hundred and fifty years ago, when the meteorite outside the sky fell on Taibai Mountain, Li Bo, the prime minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty, used the meteorite to make the gate of the treasury of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and there was a later story.

Lin Anyan asked with some doubts: "Brother Ye, according to what you said, my father asked me to find an immortal apprentice?"

Ye Fuzhong shook his head and said, "I don't know who your father asked you to apprentice, but this story is true, because I have seen that immortal with my own eyes." ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, but they heard Ye Fuzhong explain: "That was ten years ago. That year, there was a great drought in the north, and there was a famine, and the village of Baitou did not escape this catastrophe, and many people died of starvation. The old village chief saw that if there was nothing else, he was afraid that Baitou Village would not survive that winter, so he actually violated the ancestral precepts and risked his life to take people into the mountains to hunt in winter. ”

。。。。。。。。。。

Baitou Village relies on the mountains to eat the mountains, and there have been many hunters since ancient times, so the ancestral training is also tried by the ancestors. You must know that when you enter the mountains in winter, the prey are hibernating, and there is almost no chance to encounter it, and even if you do, I am afraid that it is a fierce beast that is already hungry, and it is naturally very dangerous.

This is nothing, you must know that there will be snow in Taibai Mountain in winter, many places look flat, in fact, there are traps under the snow, one wrong step, often step into the snow shell, too late to struggle, will be buried by the surrounding snow again. In short, no one will enter the mountains in winter unless absolutely necessary.

The old village chief also knew that this hunting trip was a life and a death, so he only brought a few hunters with the best skills in the village. Father Ye was grateful to Baitou Village for taking in their family, and couldn't bear to see the village destroyed by the famine, so he also joined the team.

They were thinking that they would catch a little prey, enough to survive the winter, but not long after entering the mountain, something happened.

One brother walked carelessly and fell into a snow shell, and by the time several hunters tried their best to pull him out, he had already frozen to death. So one of the hunters carried the carcass down the mountain first, while the rest continued their way down the mountain for food.

Who knows how far they didn't go, and everyone heard a tiger roar.

It is a well-known thing that there are tigers in Taibai Mountain, but ordinary tigers are basically in the deep mountains and old forests, and they will not be so close to the village. Everyone was shocked when they heard the roar of the tiger, and it was too late to run.

I saw a white tiger suddenly burst out and bit a hunter's neck in one bite.

The white tiger was not only amazing, but even more terrifying was its somewhat thin figure. Those who haven't hunted won't understand, and they think that thin tigers are easy to bully. But in fact, on the contrary, this kind of tiger is often hungry and red-eyed, and when it sees its prey, it is basically desperately pursued, and sometimes it is not even a torch in front of this kind of beast.

Several of the hunters were startled, and everyone ran away at once.

Ye Fuzhong was worried that the white tiger would chase the others, so he shot several arrows one after another, and the white tiger who was led by the arrows ran with him to the deep mountains.

He ran for half a day, tossing and turning through the dense branches of the mountain, and finally shook off the beast. Just as Ye Fuzhong was glad that he had survived, he accidentally stepped into the snow shell. ”

The snow instantly buried his neck, and when he was about to die in the deep mountains and old forests, an old man in white suddenly appeared and pulled Ye Fuzhong out.

But before Ye Fuzhong opened his mouth to thank the old man, he only felt a gust of fishy wind behind him, and he rolled to the side subconsciously, only to see that the white tiger came out of nowhere, and was staring at him half-lying on the ground.

The front foot fell to the ground, which was the action of the tiger before it pounced, Ye Fuzhong estimated that he was only a few feet away from the white tiger, and he was afraid that he would not be able to dodge, so he had to strike first.

I saw him roll over on his side, and his backhand was an arrow, but the tiger seemed to have become a sperm, and it rolled on the spot, so Ye Fuzhong's arrow shot straight into a boulder, and the white tiger only scratched a little fur. ”

At this distance, life and death are only in one arrow, and when an arrow is shot in the air, there is basically no second chance to pull the bow. Ye Fuzhong thought of Ye Yingying, who was still waiting for him at the bottom of the mountain, and couldn't help but burst out of his father's love, ready to desperately pounce on it and fight with the white tiger in close hand-to-hand combat!

However, before Ye Fuzhong could make a move, he saw a burst of white light flash, and in the blink of an eye, the white tiger was already lying on the ground, the wound on his neck was still steaming, and he was obviously dead.

Ye Fuzhong couldn't believe his eyes, he stood up slowly, but saw the old man who had just saved him standing aside, holding a sword in his hand, and the white light just now was the reflection of the sword when it was unsheathed.

The old man asked Ye Fuzhong why he went into the mountain in winter, and he also learned about the famine under the mountain, so the old man asked him to go down the mountain first, saying that there would be a way to go down the mountain.

Ye Fuzhong remembered the legend of the mountain god of Taibai Mountain, and hurriedly bowed three times and left the deep mountain. He did not dare to pause until late at night when he walked back to the village.

However, as soon as he entered the village, he found that the village chief was guarding the entrance of the village with a group of people, waiting for him to return.

It turned out that after Ye Fuzhong sacrificed his life to save them from the tiger's mouth, they did not dare to stay on the mountain, but ran back to the village as if they were fleeing for their lives, but at night, a loud noise suddenly came from the entrance of the village.

When everyone came out to see, it turned out that the body of the white tiger had been thrown outside, and around the white tiger, there were many pheasants, roe deer, hares, etc., and the sufficiency of prey was enough for everyone to spend a winter.
