Sanjin Village has had a legend of an evil dragon since ancient times.

It is rumored that it is a dragon egg refined by an ancient evil beast, hundreds of years ago, the gods and demons fought the war, and the god of war sealed the dragon egg in Yufeng Mountain, and sent a clan in the world to grant them the ability to live forever and guard here.

The rumors are like this, but the truth is unknown, at least Chen Bin no longer believes it.

Chen Bin used to have a good friend.

About fifty years ago, a long-missing woman from the village brought back an eleven-year-old boy. The child was so cute that women always called him "Ah Miao", his black eyes were big and bright, he was always dressed in crimson clothes, he wore an amulet around his neck, and a string of silver and white bells hung around his waist, which jingled with his movements.

The woman walked around the village with Miao for three days, and the sound of the bell rang in the village for three days, until on the evening of the third day, when the bell stopped, and the woman was locked up.

On the fourth day, the woman was dragged to the altar and put to death.

It was the stake, and the fire started on the soles of the feet and burned all the way to the woman's hair. The fire was so large that it was a heavenly fire that had been enshrined in the ancestral hall for a long time, and it was said that ordinary water could not extinguish it. The fire was also very hot, and everyone present avoided it for fear of provoking the fire, only the child stood motionless.

He watched his mother burn in flames, but he was laughing.

In the flickering firelight, the woman was also laughing.

Chen Bin pulled Ah Miao to his side before the patriarch came over, and secretly withdrew from the crowd with his sister Chen Shan.

Seeing that there was still a smile on the boy's face, Chen Bin couldn't help but open his mouth under Chen Shan's repeated blocking signals: "Aren't you sad that your mother was executed?"

Ah Miao blinked, and when he spoke, he showed a neat row of small white teeth: "Don't be sad, Ah Niang said that this is the heavenly fire, and after being burned by the heavenly fire, you can go to the sky to ask for immortals." ”

"Why are you asking for immortals?"

"Heal," the boy paused, and the next sentence was almost word for word, "to cure the whole village." ”

"You're sick...... Ouch!"

Chen Bin finally shut up after Chen Shan twisted his waist, although he still wanted to say a few more words, but he was afraid of Sister A's angry appearance, so he had to squeeze his eyebrows at Ah Miao, Ah Miao was not angry, he smiled all the time.

The three of them fought and went to the Chen family, the Chen family now only has two sisters and brothers, and the house is at the foot of the westernmost hillside of the village, and few people usually come. The two sisters and brothers carved out a few fields, planted vegetables, raised flowers, and were self-sufficient, but they also fell clean.

It was already evening when he got home, Chen Bin was cooking in the kitchen, and Ah Miao also followed: "Why are you here to do this?"

Chen Bin poured oil into the pot and poured it: "Sister said that a man who can cook can marry a good daughter-in-law." ”

"Poof-" Ah Miao's sneer was drowned out by the sound of stir-frying in the pot, and he raised his voice and said, "Do you know that people in the Mountain God Village can't get married." ”

Chen Bin felt that he should get used to the "chatter" of the boy next to him, but he couldn't get around a certain tendon in his heart, so he couldn't help but reply: "Isn't your aunt also married." ”

After saying that, I regretted it a little, Ah Miao's mother had just been burned at the stake, and he was a little wounded when he said this.

But the boy didn't seem to think so.

"That's right, so A-Niang often gets sick, and I am also in pain. ”

As he spoke, he untied the silver bell from his waist and threw it on the firewood next to him. Chen Bin was stunned by his sudden movements, looked up at the young man in front of him, and wondered if his eyes were dazzled by the firelight, and he actually felt that the talisman on his chest flashed.

Ah Miao slowly squatted on the ground, but his complexion turned pale instantly, and even gradually revealed bruises, not like the color that a living person should have.

"Miao!"

Chen Bin shouted, and hurriedly grabbed the silver bell next to him and wrapped it around his neck: "You are crazy!"

The silver bell jingled, and the young man's face gradually became ruddy, he raised his eyes to look at Chen Bin, and when he smiled, he showed a row of snow-white teeth: "Now believe it." ”

"You...... This just means that you have a problem, and it has nothing to do with Sanshen Village. ”

"Alas, why don't you understand!" Ah Miao tied the bell as he spoke, and there was a bit of hatred in his tone. "According to my observations with A-Niang in the past few days, all the mountain god villagers, including you and your sister, have this kind of 'soul loss disease', and everyone's soul is incomplete, but because there are masters who have set up a formation in the mountain, everyone's soul can be retained in the body. ”

Chen Bin said: "According to this, your aunt should have become ill when she left the mountain, how could she not give birth to you until she met your father?"

"I don't know about this, A-Niang will only occasionally get sick after giving birth to me, just lie down for a few days, but I'm like a dead man. Ah Miao lowered his head as he spoke, his bright eyes clouded with a dark cloud.

Chen Bin felt that he was a little annoying, even if he didn't believe it, he shouldn't keep questioning, just now he came up with a stubborn temper and must fight people to the end, and now he regrets it a little. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. ”

Ah Miao shook his head, playing with the little bell in his hand: "I've been used to it for so many years, but fortunately, with this little silver bell, I won't be so painful." ”

"What are you talking about? What kind of illness and pain, I've been listening to it for a long time. Chen Shan walked in, lifted the lid of the pot and took a look, and said angrily: "There is too much oil, are you stir-frying or frying?

After Chen Shan finished speaking, he knocked on the top of a person's head and continued: "People live in the world, and everything they get is the grace of heaven, and they have to be forced. Children just need to listen to adults, read good books and eat good food, understand?"

Ah Miao nodded, but Chen Bin muttered: "Sister, you always say this, how can there be anyone in the village who teaches people to read." ”

Chen Shan slapped him again, "Then you listen to the adults, the mouth is for eating, not for hunting!"

Hearing this, Chen Bin hurriedly covered his head and fled, causing Ah Miao to cover his mouth and laugh for a long time.

At night, Chen Bin and Ah Miao shrank together in the quilt, the two teenagers were like-minded, and they chatted until most of the night, most of them were Chen Bin talking, and Ah Miao was laughing.

"Why do you like to laugh so much?"

Chen Bin lay on the bed, holding his face with one hand, tilting his head to look at Ah Miao.

Ah Miao poked out half of his head from the quilt, and there was a thick smile in the corner of his eyes, and said: "Laughing is also a day, not laughing is also a day, why don't I let myself be happier?"

Chen Bin nodded: "Your theory is somewhat similar to my sister." ”

Speaking of Chen Shan, Ah Miao remembered the interesting thing that happened in the kitchen today, and couldn't help laughing again, he also turned over and lay down, and said, "Brother Bin, I'll teach you how to write!"

Chen Bin was a little incredulous: "You can write? I haven't heard of your aunt knowing how to read." ”

"Daddy taught me. ”

Seeing the boy's eyes droop, Chen Bin knew that he had said the wrong thing again, and hurriedly said, "I...... I'm sorry. You're daddy, he'......"

Is he still alive?

Chen Bin finally closed his mouth in time and held back these words.

Ah Miao saw through his thoughts, and said: "Daddy ran a lot of places to save me, knelt down a lot of people, and when they parted last spring, he said that he was going to find Chixia Town, and it is rumored that there are immortals, immortal medicines, and the method of immortality. ”

"Chixia Town?" Chen Bin lay down and yawned, "Do you still believe that kind of nonsense?"

"I believe," Miao replied without hesitation, "I will also go to find Chixia Town, not only for myself, but also for the entire Mountain God Village, and I will lift the curse." ”
