Volume 1 The Walking Boy in the World Chapter 4 The Great River
Early in the morning of the second day
There was a lot of humidity in the mountains and forests, and there was a lot of dew, perhaps because he was too tired yesterday, and the boy slept until the third pole of the sun before he slowly woke up, and his whole body was in great pain when he moved, and his body was like falling apart.
Yu Yu didn't care, jumped off the branch, stumbled and almost fell, stabilized his body and slowly stood up, regardless of the pain in many parts of his body, he directly put up a posture to practice boxing.
After a set of punches, Yu Yu felt a lot more comfortable, his whole body became warm, there was a crackling sound between the joints, and he exhaled a breath of turbid air and his body suddenly felt comfortable and transparent.
At this time, Yu Yu had time to look around, and found that there was no trace of the little monster, but found a lot of wild fruits under the big tree, Yu Yu smiled, grabbed one and sent it directly into his mouth without wiping, the fruit was a little sour, but the young man ate it happily.
"Squeak, squeak"
Finally, when the boy finished eating the wild fruits on the ground, the little monster didn't know where to get out, the boy smiled and said: "Even if you have a conscience, yesterday in order to save you, I died nine times, let's say, do you plan to be a cow and a horse in the second half of your life, or be a slave forever?"
Yu Yu's tone was slightly mocking, and the little monster put away his stubborn temperament for the first time, stared at a pair of big round eyes, and nodded at Yu Yu spiritually, but Yu Yu's attention was on the side, so he didn't notice the change in the little monster.
In contemplation, Yu Yu lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked at the unfamiliar environment around him and said: "I don't know where we are now, the two of us have also experienced birth and death, and then we have to work together to go home early." After a pause, he continued: "Speaking of which, you can be regarded as an elf born under the heavens and the earth, and it is strange and ugly to always call you a little monster, so why don't I give you a name." ”
The little monster rejoiced and squeaked with joy.
Yu Yu groaned and said very perfunctorily: "Just call you a doll." ”
Immediately, the little monster's face collapsed, his eyebrows were lowered, and his mouth was pursed in protest.
Seeing the little monster's deflated virtue, Yu Yu became more and more happy in his heart, and said, "Then call you a doll!" ”
After taking the name, the curious Yu Yu took the doll, crossed the mountains and mountains, and looked for the sound of the waves.
The sound of the river is getting louder and louder, rumbling.
After turning over the last mountain, Yu Yu was shocked by the scene in front of him, raised his eyes to see the vast river as far as the eye could see, looking at the opposite bank did not know how many miles away, Yu Yu only saw a fist-sized black spot on the opposite bank, and guessed that it should be a big mountain, just standing here and looking at it, it was already so small that it was invisible.
The wavy river rolled away with the white waves, the sound of the waves was endless, Yu Yu came to the riverside, a mighty breath came to his face, washing his young heart, and then looked at the turbulent river, Yu Yu didn't know how to describe his mood at this time, as if there was only the big river left between heaven and earth, and he stood in front of it and even the small ants could not compare, it seemed small and pitiful.
The river was rolling, and a wave crossed the river bank and soaked the young man's patched cloth shoes, and the young man came back to his senses and saw a big boat rowing up the river, the boat was so big that it seemed like more than a dozen pavilions connected together, and the young man raised his eyes and couldn't let go for a long time......
Three days later, Yu Yu finally returned to his home with the doll, but from that day on, the young man's calm heart was like a calm lake falling into a boulder for a long time.
On the second day of returning, Yu Yu still went up the mountain to collect firewood, but on the way back, Yu Yu leaned on the dead begonia tree to rest, thirsty, picked up a handful of stream water and drank it, but found that there was a strange little gray fish in the creek out of the corner of his eye.
There are many fish and shrimp in the stream, and the reason why he can notice this inconspicuous little fish is because this little gray fish is also watching him, and the young man is surprised in his heart, and he picks up the pebble and throws it over, intending to scare the little gray fish away, but the little gray fish flicks its tail and deftly dodges it, and never leaves.
Under the begonia tree, the wanton playing doll found the abnormality of the remaining fish, jumped on the shoulder and looked into the stream, at a glance, I don't know why the doll suddenly jumped into the stream in anger and grabbed the little gray fish.
This scene can scare Yu Yu, he doesn't know if the doll can swim, in case he accidentally drowns in the stream, how is it good, just when he wants to go into the water to rescue the doll, the next scene makes him feel at ease, the doll seems to be able to breathe in the water is not affected at all, I saw it running and jumping under the water, chasing the little gray fish tightly, the little gray fish seems to be extremely afraid of the doll, and fled in embarrassment in the stream......
His thoughts gradually returned, and today, two years later, Yu Yu has grown up a lot, running and jumping in this mountain forest, tossing and turning, extremely relaxed, and the road is extremely skillful.
It only took more than half a day for him to hear the familiar sound of the river again, and his footwork became more and more brisk under the excitement.
It's just that the weather in summer is the baby's face changes, and Yu Yu only cared about burying his head in the road before, where did he find that the sky had become extremely dark at this time, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in that dark cloud. The weather is changing, and the gloomy sky makes the boy's heart beat a drum, not that he is afraid of any wind and waves, just because it is the summer of July and August, and according to common sense, these days are the rainy season. After thinking about it, the young man felt that if he went back at this time, his behavior this time would be somewhat boring, so he simply sped up his speed, even if he couldn't see those fairy masters, it would be quite fun to look at the endless river.
Not long after, the boy who came to the top of the mountain finally saw the scene behind the mountain, the river is still the same, the difference is that there are three more giant boats on the river, looking at it from afar, each boat must have at least the size of half a mountain of Wuzhi Mountain, three boats are juxtaposed on the river, for some reason, neither forward nor backward, it is to stop there steadily, and the three big boats are in front of them, the river is rolling and rolling, the huge waves are monstrous, and the giant whirlpool of dozens of zhang is densely packed, and then the boy thinks that he is dazzled, he seems to see a huge black shadow appear under the turbid river water, and the black shadow swims between the waves and the river is dumbfounded。
"Click!"
There was a loud bang in the sky, and a silver-white lightning as thick as a water tank slashed straight above the river, scaring the young man into a clever almost not sitting on the ground, and then the sky and the earth suddenly changed to the top of the dark clouds, looking at the black and oppressive sky, a strong sense of suffocation hit the young man's heart, and then the heavy rain without warning came to the basin, and the wind was howling, and this was not the end of the dark clouds rolling in the sky, the thunderclouds were dense, and the silver-white lightning was constantly splitting in the river one after another.
"Roar!"
A roar like a dragon, and like an ancient beast-like roar resounded throughout the whole world, the wind on the river was raging, the waves were monstrous, the huge water wall was more than 100 zhang higher than the river surface, a huge black shadow about 30 zhang long and about one zhang thick came out of the water, the black scale armor was fine and smooth, the abdomen was against the claws, the head was long and single-horned, and the face was hideous.
This change made Yu Yu unable to hold his breath any longer, turned around and fled, and at the same time a thought lingered in his heart: what kind of monster is that!
This rainstorm is too big, the mountain road is muddy, the heavy rain is pouring down makes it more difficult to walk, Yu Yu is deep and shallow and shallow and finally returned home in the middle of the night, the doll in his arms is okay, after all, Yu Yu helps it shelter from the wind and rain, but the young man is not lightly frozen, his face is pale and his lips are blue and he is frightened yesterday, and he can no longer support a fall asleep on the bed.
The wind gradually stopped, the rain gradually stopped, and when the young Yu Yu woke up, it was already the afternoon of the second day, and the doll didn't know where it went, the doll was a monster in the mountains and forests, born to raise, in fact, no matter how big the wind and rain had no effect on it.
Yu Yu lay on the bed and felt hot in his abdomen, hungry, extremely heavy, his forehead was hot, he had always lived alone, he knew that he was sick, so he lay on the bed and rested for a long time, barely felt a little strength, slowly got up and poured a bowl of cold water to drink, but it was even more uncomfortable, so he had to put on a few more rough coats and brave the light rain to come to the firewood room to make a fire and cook.
Yu Yu is very good at taking care of himself, and although this is the first time he has been sick since his mother left, he knows that when a person is sick, he must eat more, otherwise he will only get sicker and sicker.
Not long after, the young Yu Yu returned to the room with a large bowl of steaming hot and sour noodle soup, the steaming soup was filled with a few poor egg flowers, two drops of golden sesame oil drifted away and looked extremely poor, but the young man's thoughts drifted to the clouds: what is that terrifying monster?
