Meng Li leaned against the mound, the corners of his mouth raised, and he slept very sweetly.

It's been a year!

He is still young, and only at this time can he let himself be completely relaxed.

I don't know how long I slept, until I noticed that someone was pushing me, and Meng Li woke up quietly.

When he opened his sleepy eyes and saw the tall and thin young man standing in front of him, Meng Li was not surprised.

Wiping the dirt on his face, Meng Li got up and said, "Brother Meng Hou, you're here!"

Meng Hou, who was going to get straight to the point, couldn't help but feel curious when he saw Meng Li's expression, and asked, "Why aren't you surprised at all when you see me?"

Meng Li picked up the cloth bag that he had opened before, and grinned while wrapping the wooden knife without any traces, and said as a matter of course: "What's so surprising about this, didn't you come often when I came to worship before? Sometimes you come secretly by yourself and don't say anything about changing the offerings, which makes me wonderful." ”

Hearing him say this, Meng Hou felt a trace of guilt in his heart. Perhaps influenced by Meng Li's father, Meng Hou and Meng Li, like Meng Li, also loved to read since childhood, in recent years, often go to Meng Li's house to borrow books, the two sometimes read at night, read to the highlights, chat day and night, it is a rare fun.

When Meng Li's mother had just died, he was the only peer in the village who could talk to Meng Li. is also afraid that Meng Li will be lonely, when he worships Meng's mother, he often follows with him, and sometimes even comes alone, but in the past two months, when Meng Xi deliberately targeted Meng Li, he never came again.

Meng Hou put a stick of incense on Meng Mu's mother, bowed deeply as before, and then said to Meng Li: "I came to tell you good news!"

"What's the good news?" Meng Li asked calmly. A young man of his age, if he hears the words "good news", he can't help but be curious, but for Meng Li, since his parents left him, there has been no good news in this world.

Meng Hou smiled bitterly, and then said what he heard from Meng Xi.

The success of Chuanwuri's application was indeed unexpected by Meng Li, but what surprised him even more was Meng Xi's attitude.

"Meng Xi really won't stop me?" Savoring the other party's last sentence "Meng Xi asked you to go too", Meng Li couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Meng Xi, a stubborn guy like a bull, would take the initiative to reconcile with him, which is incredible when you think about it.

"Then can there be a fake?" Meng Hou said excitedly: "Although Meng Xi is a little domineering, he is not a bad person, presumably after being educated by the old village chief, he has realized his mistakes. What's more, it is so important that the martial arts are related to your and my lives? ”

Meng Li looked deeply at Meng Hou, who was emaciated by his shoulders, and said gratefully: "Brother Meng Hou, thank you!"

"Thank me for what?" Meng Li thanked him so solemnly, Meng Hou was a little embarrassed.

Meng Li said with emotion: "After my mother passed away, although the elders of Mengjia Village took good care of me, I still felt uneasy in my heart, and I couldn't sleep with fear for a long time. You've been silently caring for me all along, and I know that you must have done a lot of work in this matter. ”

Meng Hou scratched his head and twisted: "Actually, I didn't do anything. ”

Meng Li said solemnly: "Brother Menghou, don't worry, I will not miss this opportunity, let us work together to win glory for Mengjia Village." ”

"Okay!

As they spoke, each holding out a hand and clasping it together.

Twelve-year-old boys, their world is very simple, without complicated minds. Most of what they think about is giving, and winning glory for the village is the greatest honor they can think of. However, none of them expected that this handshake would irreversibly change their fate.

Meng Hou still had to prepare for the battle and passed on the martial day, so he didn't have time to stay for a long time, so he hurriedly went down the mountain after saying goodbye to Meng Li. As for Meng Li, it is rare to go up the mountain, so he has to pick some mountain goods for later use.

In spring, when the air is humid and the rain begins to fall, it is a good time for wild mushrooms to grow, and some varieties are delicious and taste more fragrant than meat.

Meng Li's favorite thing to eat is a kind of wild mushroom that is as white as jade, the mycelium is like velvet, no matter the color, fragrance, or the taste of cooking is the best product in the wild mushroom, but this wild mushroom called the white velvet mushroom, even if it is picked, Meng Li is reluctant to eat it, and most of them are filial piety to the elders in the village.

Go up the mountain, do not take the mountain road, change to a forest path, wander between the mountains and forests, pick up all the way, quite a harvest.

Meng Li indulged in it, and when he came back to his senses, he had already reached the depths of the mountains and forests.

Syllable!

Stretching out his hand and patting his forehead, Meng Li laughed at himself: "Look at my stupidity, how can I forget the danger in this mountain, fortunately I didn't go too deep." ”

In the mountains and forests, wild beasts are rampant, and although the weedy mountain is not large, there are also wild beasts that survive. Every spring and autumn, Mengjia Village organizes two hunts, one is to hunt some meat and tooth sacrifices, and the other is to prevent the flooding of wild animals here.

Just when Meng Li wanted to return the same way, a strange sound made his heart lift.

Click!

The sound was crisp, like the sound of a tree branch being trampled on.

"What's that?"

Meng Li, who was already worried, was startled by this sudden sound, and turned his head to see that it was a golden monkey!

The golden monkey was not big, only up to his knees, and was sitting on the ground looking at him. His eyes were dull, revealing a little frightened.

Seeing that it was a golden retriever monkey, Meng Li breathed a sigh of relief. Wild beasts in the mountains and forests are infested, and they may be in danger at any time, Meng Li is most afraid of the kind of large carnivorous beasts, as for this golden retriever monkey, it is not a big problem.

"Come, little monkey, eat a fruit. ”

Meng Li took out a green wild fruit and threw it over.

In his opinion, the greedy little monkey, after seeing the wild fruit, will inevitably drool and can't wait to pounce. However, the result was the opposite, the wild fruit rolled down to his feet, and the little monkey didn't even look at it.

No, is it a change of taste?

Meng Li took out another wild fruit and threw it out, but the result was still the same.

The little monkey sat on the ground, indifferent to the two wild fruits within reach.

Meng Li observed the other party and was suddenly shocked!

No, it's not that it's not interested, it's that it doesn't dare to move!

Sensing the horror in the little monkey's eyes, Meng Li had a sense of foreboding, and it was only then that he realized that the little monkey had been looking behind him instead of him.

"What's behind me?" Meng was throbbing in the middle, and the clothes behind his back were instantly wet with sweat.

A breeze was blowing from behind, and Meng Li could sense that something was rushing towards him there.

Carnivorous Big Beasts?

As soon as his soul was triggered, Meng Li didn't have time to confirm what was coming from behind him, so he could only mobilize the strength of his whole body at this moment and pounce to the side.

Sharp claws swept past him, separated by a single position.

Danger after risk!

Glancing at the sharp claws, Meng Li couldn't help but feel afraid, if he had hesitated a little just now, he would have been in a different place now.

"What a sharp claw, what is the true identity of this beast?"

While secretly shocked in his heart, Meng Li's body had already landed, and he saw that the moment his back touched the bottom, he curled up and rolled around, and immediately unloaded most of the power that flew out.

Meng Li rolled with the trend, kicked his feet, and then got up, his movements so smooth that even he was a little surprised. It's just that after getting up, his face is not good-looking.

Fuck, which book says that this rolling is safe and reliable? Why don't you tell him to pay attention to the terrain! The moment he rolled on the ground, his face was almost scratched by a branch on the ground. Or is there no sharp hard object on the ground, otherwise his bones would not have been broken?

For some reason, Meng Li, who encountered a crisis, was still in the mood to think crankily after a short period of fear, and the fear in his heart gradually dissipated with time, and in the face of danger, he seemed to be born with the ability to calm down quickly.

No matter what crisis you encounter, you can only deal with it better if you calm down!

Ignoring the pain in his back, Meng Li rolled into the distance again, hiding behind a locust tree when the beast reacted.

Meng Li didn't have time to catch his breath, so he immediately poked his head out and looked in the direction where the beast was, only to find that the other party was actually a huge black tiger with shiny fur.

This black tiger is far taller than ordinary beasts, twice as many as normal tiger beasts!

"Oh my God, isn't this tiger a spirit?"

The moment he saw the black tiger, Meng Wei's head jumped, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly covered his mouth.

The black tiger that missed the pounce had slowly turned around, and the cold tiger pupils stared at the back of the locust tree, with a tiger face, revealing a very human playful expression, and stretched out a tiger claw to beckon Meng Li, which clearly meant: You come here!

"Damn! I'm really a sperm! These big claws are bigger than my head, and if they pounce on me, I won't be crushed? Let me out, I'm really stupid." ”

It is not an uncommon thing for beasts to open their minds in this world, you must know that there are thousands of living beings in this world, just like the martial arts can be cultivated, and the beasts can also be like this, and the fierce beasts and spirit beasts above them do not only exist in the script, but are flesh and blood living things.

Meng Li regrets it very much now, he knew that he would not covet this wild goods in the mountains, and in the end, he even gave his own life to it, if he really died so confused, it would be too much.

While Meng Li secretly complained to himself, he couldn't help but feel surprised in his heart. Xindao: In this remote weedy mountain, when did there also be fierce beasts?

Meng Li didn't know that the cultivation of the beast was extremely difficult, this black tiger was only close to transformation, and the power on his body had not yet appeared, but even so, it was enough for him to drink a pot.

"Am I going to die today?"

Thinking of the oath made in front of the grave today, and remembering the promise made with Meng Hou just now, Meng Li's heart, which was almost desperate, once again ignited the idea of survival.

"No, I can't die yet, I'm so young, I still have a lot to do, if I die here, how can I be willing?"

Time goes back, and Meng Li's memory once again returns to the rainy night a year ago. His mother fell ill in bed, and when she was dying, she took his hand and told him to live well and never give up no matter what difficulties he encountered.

Meng Li's eyes widened, his eyes seemed to be stained with blood, and they were red before.

In the past year, no matter what difficulties he encountered, he never gave up, and persevered all the way to this day, from helplessness to independence, even if today's crisis is the biggest crisis in his life, he still will not give up.

In the face of a crisis, only those who dare to fight for their lives can seek a glimmer of life. This is the inevitable mentality of becoming a warrior. Since ancient times, all the people who have been able to become peerless warriors have this brave heart without exception.

If you are not brave, it is difficult to have great perseverance, if you don't have perseverance, how can you talk about success?

Meng Li reached into the cloth bag, slid over all kinds of wild fruits and mushrooms, and held the cold wooden knife that was Mu Feimu.

The handle of the knife was cold, but his palm was hot, one cold and one heat melted into one, only to hear a tear, the wild fruit scattered, and the wooden knife that his mother had exhausted her energy to entrust to him cut through the cloth bag, showing its hideous edge for the first time.
