"Boom la la ......"

A small stream flows out of the dense forest, and the pebbles on the side of the stream are particularly pleasant to step on, and a tall but dead begonia tree stands there......

Under the tree there is a bunch of bundled dry firewood, the thickness of the dry firewood is uniform, to say the least, it must be more than 100 catties.

Crossing the pyre, a young man came into view, looking at the side, the sweat on the young man's cheeks had not dried, and he was dressed in coarse linen clothes, but at this moment the young man was lying on the side of the stream and leaned out half of his body to stare at the stream, so he couldn't see the whole picture.

"Little fish, little fish, do you also want to see what the outside world is like?"

The boy muttered to himself on the surface of the stream, and if you looked closely, you could see that the boy was not talking to himself, but through the water you would find a small gray fish the length of a little finger wagging its tail and looking at the boy.

"Boom!"

A pebble fell into the stream, splashing a little wave just on the young man's face, and the gray fish was suddenly frightened away.

The young man was embarrassed, turned his head and glared angrily, and finally saw the appearance of the young man clearly, from the complexion, the young man's complexion was slightly dark, his eyebrows were like swords, and a pair of bright eyes showed a trace of fine light, but on the whole, the young man seemed to be malnourished for a long time, so his cheeks were a little thin.

"Squeak Squeak"

A strange cry came from the pyre with a thick sense of sarcasm, a milky white, radish-shaped strange monster, lying on the pyre, the monster was three inches tall, without a neck and a pair of big eyes, with a small and pink mouth, short arms but no palms, legs and no feet, milky white all over, and a pair of round big eyes were looking at the boy sarcastically while screaming in his mouth.

There are spirits in heaven and earth, there are many spirits in the mountains and rivers and ancient mountains, and there are dragons in the famous rivers and Daze, and there are not only human beings with spirituality between heaven and earth, but also countless spirits and demons.

The mountain where the boy is located is called Wuzhi Mountain, and there are many spirits in the mountain, but most of them are some grass, wood, insects, ants and the like that have been spiritualized for a long time, but most of these spirits are as timid as mice, and they are scared away when they encounter a wind and grass, and they are gone.

But the little monster in front of him is an exception, not only is it not afraid of the boy in front of him, but it plays with the boy.

The young man frowned slightly, got up and tidied up his clothes, came to the firewood pile and said: "I don't have time to play with you today, the rainy season will come in two days, and when the rainy season comes, it will be more than a month, and it will take more than half a month to say less, the people in the town, every household lacks firewood, I promised the old man in charge of the town yesterday to send more dry firewood today." ”

After listening to the young man's words, the little monster showed an angry look on his face, raised his little arm and pointed at the young man, and his mouth squeaked and screamed.

The boy didn't care, picked up the spirit from the pyre, threw it out in retaliation, and then the boy squatted slightly, lifted the pile of dry firewood on the ground behind him, and walked out of the mountain.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak"

Behind him came the strange cry of the little monster, which seemed to be cursing the young man, but it was all in vain, because the young man had disappeared into the mountain forest along the mountain road.

Day 2

The sky had just shone slightly, and a small courtyard three miles away at the foot of the mountain was already rising with green smoke.

The courtyard is not big, but it is clean and neat, a well, a round stone table next to the well, a small dish of pickles is placed on the table, two well-proportioned stone piers under the table are considered seats, three main rooms sit in the north and face south, a side room is close to its right, at this time the small side room is coming out of bursts of rice fragrance.

"Squeak" The door of the side room was opened, and a young man with a thin figure and a slightly dark complexion walked out.

The young man came to the stone table with a bowl of white porridge in one hand and a white flour flatbread in the other, and before he could sit down, a small white figure had jumped onto the stone table, it was the white spirit that the young man met by the stream yesterday, and the little spirit at this time had long since lost the arrogance of yesterday and looked at the young man in front of him pitifully.

The young man seemed to have long been used to it, put down the white porridge, tore off a piece of bread, handed it to the little monster, and said: "You scolded me yesterday, if I don't hurry up and chop wood, how can I have the money to buy white flour pancakes for you to eat." As he spoke, the young man took a bite on the flatbread, picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of pickled vegetables and feasted on it.

After a short time, the boy finished eating breakfast and washed up, paced into the courtyard, slowly walked up the boxing pile, and played a set of unknown boxing techniques.

That's right, the boy practiced martial arts, and he started practicing at a very young age, but the boy never showed it in front of outsiders, because his mother said that he didn't have to let outsiders know that he practiced martial arts.

The young man fought very seriously, and at this moment it seemed that nothing in heaven and earth could affect him, because there was such seriousness and stubbornness in his eyes.

"Whew!"

Exhaled a heavy breath of turbidity, the young man stood up, pressed his palms down on his chest to collect the exercise, and at this time the young man was already sweating profusely, for no other reason that this set of boxing techniques was too strange, and every time he practiced to the end, he always felt that the strength of his body seemed to be drained.

Adjust the breathing, the young man's eyes flashed and sat cross-legged, and gradually the breath and mood slowly calmed down, if someone carefully observes, they will find that the way the young man breathes at this time is very special, and each time the distant reflection between each breath seems to have some kind of connection, and every time the turbidity is exhaled, the turbidity is like an arrow from the string to leave the dry crisp, if you look at it for a long time, it is a bit pleasing to the eye.

Until the third pole of the sun, the young man slowly opened his eyes, shook his head and said helplessly: "Still can't it?"

After speaking, he turned around and went to the stove room to find the sharpened and shiny firewood knife behind him, and after closing the door, the young man shouted to a corner: "Doll, let's go, the time to enter the mountain today is a little late, and I can't delay any longer." ”

"Squeak!"

A few strange cries came into his ears, and the young man didn't pay much attention to it, and turned his head and walked towards the mountain.

When the young man walked out of the road for almost a mile, he only felt that his right shoulder sank slightly, as if something had fallen on it, and the young man did not raise his head and said calmly: "Let's go, let's not be busy chopping wood today, let's go meet those old friends!"

"Squeak!" the voice came this time sharp and harsh, with a certain emotion of horror and hatred.

The corners of the young man's mouth curled up and said slowly: "Well, I know, I will definitely help you avenge this time." These guys dare to leave their lair and come to the front mountain. This is not good, after all, I have to collect firewood in the front mountain, and besides, I saw yesterday that the previous cover was also damaged, and it seems that they have snatched the prey I caught. ”

Saying that, the young man paused and thought for a moment and said, "No, it should have been stolen." ”

"Squeak, squeak", this time the voice became more sharp, as if he was crying out for the boy.

Hearing the indignation in his voice, the young man felt funny, looked over his shoulder, grabbed the little white monster in his hand, put it in the placket of his clothes, and then scolded with a smile: "You little fox and tiger mighty thing, remember to eat or not, have you forgotten the scene of running to someone's lair last time? This will be quite arrogant, I still remember the last time you were so scared that you didn't even dare to move, almost peed your pants, hahaha." The hearty laughter of a young man came from the quiet mountain road.

The little monster in "Squeak" squeak's arms leaned out half of its body and clenched its fists to demonstrate towards the boy.

Even though it is the height of summer, the temperature in the mountains is not very high, but rather cool.

The young man's feet did not stop, shuttling wantonly between the mountains and forests, and then the mountain road was difficult to walk, and the young man was like a light ape tossing and turning among the tall trees.

Time passed, and gradually the boy climbed over two mountains.

"Too" sounded softly, the boy landed steadily on the branch of a tall tree, the thick leaves hid his figure, the boy cautiously squatted down, looking at the tree through the gap between the branches and leaves, and the little white monster in the boy's arms also became unusually quiet, also looking at the tree motionless.

The young man's body slowly arched, his muscles tensed, his mind highly concentrated, his bright eyes staring closely at the bottom of the tree without blinking, and his ears moved slightly to recognize the movement around him. It's just that there are too many insects and birds in the mountains and forests, and the sounds are mixed, so the boy has to focus most of his energy on his eyes.

"Sand"

"Rustle"

A very slight trembling sound gradually came into the ears, like countless ants crawling over the heart, making people's ears itch when they heard it.

But after hearing this voice, the young man's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the sound became louder and louder, and the young man unconsciously pulled out the firewood knife behind him, and his body was tense, like a wound bow and arrow, ready to go.

A huge figure on the ground gradually revealed, and it was creepy to look closely, only to see a large black centipede several feet long crawling out of nowhere on the ground covered with dead leaves, then two, three, until finally a dozen appeared, one of which reached a length of one zhang.

The black carapace of the big centipede glows with a faint black glow, and the pair of big claws on the flat head look terrifying, and the blood-red tentacles slap on the ground a few times from time to time as if to identify the smell, and from time to time one or two centipedes touch together, and the tentacles on the head stir each other as if they are communicating something.

on the trees

The young man's body was like a stubborn stone, motionless, and even his breathing became long and slow, but when he saw the movements of these centipedes, he couldn't help frowning, his eyes flashed, and he couldn't care about anything else.

And at this moment, there was a sound of "click" branches breaking behind him, and the young man knew what was going on, and he knew that these centipedes were very powerful. Two years ago, he had seen those centipedes jump nearly two feet high, and use the pair of large pincers on their heads to clip off the thigh-thick trunks of adults, and these centipedes are so fast that they may catch up with them if they are not careful.

The first time he encountered these big centipedes, the boy had no experience in dealing with them, so he could only flee with the little monster in his arms, and since then, the little white monster seems to be entangled with the boy, no matter where the boy goes or what he does, the little white monster sticks to the boy like a dog skin plaster, and he can't shake it off......
