Chapter 3: Wild Hundred Miles of Mist

began to Baili Wu, that is, Xiaolong, and complained about the lack of love for others, and turned into a cold glaring at those people's cold eyes, even if a few people still had a little warmth for him, but he was also numb, he didn't need the protection of others, and he didn't need love, the only thing he could do was to protect himself. Such a person is bound to be precocious, independent, individual, and assertive.

Over time, the curses of others against him became true, his face was cold and full of resentment, his fists were always clenched tightly, his thin face, thin little muscles gradually appeared, and at first people had seen him laugh, and then there were no more. Because the world is cold, you will be out of place when you laugh.

Summer goes to autumn, the grass and trees are withering, the autumn morning is full of frost and fog, for the children with parents, the thick sweater has long been put on, like a pair of warm hands wrapped in the childhood of those children, and Xiaolong does not, Xiaolong only has a single piece of paper, not in the deep winter is not able to change a cotton jacket, when others change leather clothes, he can only ask for a small cotton jacket from the uncle at most, Xiaolong remembered, he has not worn his own new clothes, all are leftovers.

Even Xiaolong's uncle abused Xiaolong's neighbors and was not polite, this child was born a dragon, killed more than 300 people in the village, and the neighbor million tigers fled before the famine, and returned to Baijiazhuang without finding a way out, and he was in a bad mood. Seeing that the whole family of the million army was beating and scolding Baili Wu, he was not polite.

On this morning, Xiaolong got up early to feed the pigs under the frost, and after feeding the pigs to work in the field, the late summer and early autumn is the time to harvest the wheat, and at this time other people's children are still sleeping, Xiaolong is used to it, go to bed early and get up early, plus work for many years, eat a hundred meals, has a strong resistance, and the bones are particularly hard.

Although he was still a little cold in his single clothes, he didn't take it seriously when he got used to it. It's just that this single dress is too torn, patches and patches, and the clothes are simply patchwork.

As soon as he got out of the hospital, the neighbor Million Tiger was taking a break outside the hospital, and when he saw Xiaolong coming out, he shouted: "Hey, you stop for me." ”

Xiaolong said: "If you ask me to stand, I will stand? I don't stand, can you take care of the master's affairs?"

"Ouch, I don't think anyone has beaten you these days, your skin is tight, right?"

"I see that your skin is tight, and your mother-in-law's skin is even tighter!"

"I'm not trying to bully you when I let you stand, you're not a thing. ”

"You're something, you're so small!"

"Little Bunny, you ......"

"I can't speak, and I don't know how to speak as well as my donkey. ”

As soon as the dragon turned around and was defenseless, he heard a vicious scolding from behind him: "Kill you little king and eight lambs." ”

The "snap" palm slapped Xiaolong's neck from behind.

Baili Wu, who was just eight years old, could stand the beating of an adult man, and he made a judgment, his head buzzed, the sky was spinning, and he fell directly to the ground.

The million tigers joked: "Look at how little you wear, I'll make you hot." ”

Xiaolong doesn't like to suffer big and small things, in addition to being beaten by the uncle, the general fight will fight back, regardless of whether you are an adult or a child, but Xiaolong is not a fool who has no brains to go on a rampage. He grabbed a handful of dust with stones in it and smashed it directly at the million tigers.

When the million tigers were looking up to the sky and laughing, proud of their "war exploits", they suddenly choked on a pile of earth and stones in their mouths, and smashed his teeth painfully, "Bah!Bah!", his eyes also narrowed, and he closed his eyes and shouted: "See if I don't kill you." ”

Seeing that there was a chance, Xiaolong rushed over diagonally, and kicked the fat ass of the million tiger fiercely, the million tiger was defenseless, this kick kicked him staggered, barely broke away from his eyes, and chased after the hundred miles of fog who was running away with a smile.

The house of the million army is very large, out of this courtyard, only to the stable, the cowshed, there is a firewood house next to it, the firewood room is not far from the kitchen, Xiaolong was beaten by the million tigers just now The dizziness has not recovered, the head is a little heavy, while running and looking back, I didn't pay attention to the mother who got up early next to the urinal, "bang", Xiaolong hit the urinal directly, the urinal turned upside down, and all the urine of the aunt was sprinkled, and the smell was everywhere.

"My mother!" the eldest mother was splashed with urine, wailing again and again, how could she have suffered such humiliation and sin, "You killed this day, whoever touches you will be unlucky." ”

Xiaolong immediately sobered up, this time it was terrible, it was not an ordinary disaster, he turned around and ran wildly, and ran straight into the mountains.

This run, running all over the body is hot, the heart beats like a drum, I don't know how far I ran, about a few miles, I looked up and saw the Falling Dragon Cliff, it turned out that this run ran to the river beach area below the Falling Dragon Cliff.

Under the autumn frost, the grass and trees are covered with autumn frost, and the inside is hot and the outside is cold, so it is better to trot slowly and run along the river beach. When I thought of the beating, I felt the whip marks behind me, the stick marks on my arms, the bruises with purple in the red eyes, and the old scars, and my eyes became cold.

took a breath and secretly scolded himself: "I won't go, it's a day to last, this old injury hasn't healed yet, and I'm afraid that if I am beaten again, my skin will be opened." ”

The skin and the flesh are all words that I learned from Mr. Qiu Ru.

After trotting for a distance, I was a little tired, and I stepped into a cave that was not big or small, and I went into this cave before, and they had been to the iron pillars, Da Zhuang, and monkeys in the village, and they could spend the night here. A few stones were brought to the door, and a makeshift scarecrow was made out of hay and a broken branch, and wolves, insects, tigers and leopards did not dare to approach.

Even running scared, I accidentally fell asleep, and when I opened my eyes, I was already white, and I slept for a day and a night unconsciously.

Suddenly, there was a cry of "grunt", Xiaolong touched his stomach, and in addition to getting up early and being tired, he was too hungry.

Xiaolong touched back to Baijiazhuang and got into Baili Fei's home, Baili Fei was thirty-one years old, but his generation was the same as Baili Wu, he was the elder brother of Baili Wu from the clan, and this Baili Fei was also very capable of bullying people, in short, there were few people in this village who could not bully Xiaolong. Baili Fei's family has a litter of rabbits, big and fat, the rabbits raised by this family are relatively stupid, and they can't jump a few times, if they can catch one and taste it, it's not bad. Stealing their rabbits is also commonplace, and they try the whole one every once in a while.

Xiaolong was just about to make a move, the door of Baili Fei's house opened, Xiaolong retracted his head again, he didn't eat what he could not eat, and kicked a female rabbit, and the rabbit fell to the ground as soon as he tilted to the side. At this time, Xiaolong saw that the rabbit seemed to be pregnant, and he couldn't kick off his waist with this kick.

Walking, quietly left Baili Fei's house, who is good at stealing, but when thinking about this, Xiaolong's heart jumped, the rabbit fell off his waist and suffered a crime. Thinking about how the rabbit had been compared to his sin, he muttered to himself, "Dumb beast, let you taste the pain too." ”

Thinking about it like this, my mind is a little more balanced. If you don't hurry up, it's not easy to get out when the adults come out.

As soon as he turned around and ran to the house of the million grandsons, the millions of grandsons were the big families in the village, and the iron pillar gave them sheep herding. Entered the flock, grabbed a little lamb, the lamb did not resist, Xiaolong is very experienced, touch the belly of the sheep, the sheep is basically honest, if the lamb is steamed for him, it will be very delicious.

was dripping saliva, and suddenly felt a warmth on his hands: "Little lamb, pee!"

There was a burst of warmth in his hand, and he suddenly remembered that his uncle and brother Baili Feng were wearing a lambskin jacket, and he was a little angry, so he threw the lamb aside, and said to himself: "You are such a weak little animal, it's a shame to eat you!"

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and there were already people working in the distance, and the little dragon saw that the situation was not good, so he drilled into the forest again and ran back to the secret cave under the Falling Dragon Cliff.

The little dragon lay down for a while, calmed the hunger in his stomach, his eyes widened, and a spirit stood up and took out a knife from his arms. This knife is found in the relics of the father's mother, usually the uncle and aunt abuse do not give enough food can not always grab the dog food, so he went up the mountain to touch the prey, began to catch the hare pheasant is more difficult, and then slowly mastered some skills, plus with the hunters in the two villages to learn a few tricks, this catch game has become one of the food sources of the little dragon, from the age of seven to the present, pheasant, hare, fresh fish do not know how much to eat, perhaps this is also one of the reasons for his strong bones.

When I came outside, I looked around, and found that there was still some hay under a tree, so I grabbed the hay and braided a straw rope, and stretched it, which was very strong. Make the rope into two circles, find some small dry branches, make two small doors, hang the circles in the small door, and then press the two small doors with stones on both sides, fix them in the open space, take out a few grains of rice from your arms, and swing them near the trap, this thing is called a pheasant set.

Then he hid behind a nearby tree, "Chirp!" and let out a strange pheasant cry.

After a while, a pheasant came out of the bushes, the pheasant had a red face and black hairy wings, and when he saw the rice grains, he lowered his head and began to peck up, and after a while, he came to the vicinity of the pheasant set, because the trap was very thin, and the dry branches were also hidden with weeds, and the pheasant was ready to eat the rice grains in front of the weeds, but this drilled into a "flutter" and was trapped, and the more the pheasant struggled, the tighter it was strangled, and even heard the sound of broken wings.

The rice that tempts pheasants, the flint that roasts pheasants, and the pipes that blow the fire, Xiaolong has always carried it with him in case of emergency, as long as the uncle does not give him a full meal, he will go up the mountain to catch game.

For the current Baili Wu, as long as it is food, it can fill the stomach, everything is delicious, and now is the time to grow the body, who has a free meal to give him to eat, including who can he rely on? When people are hungry, they really don't care about anything, what princes and generals will be emperors, what fairy grievances, what learning is literate or not, it becomes irrelevant. Fill your stomach and live, this is the meaning of Xiaolong's survival.

This is the upstream area of the river, not far from the left hand side is the Falling Dragon Cliff, the stones around the Falling Dragon Cliff are strangely shaped, and below the Falling Dragon Cliff is the well-known Dragon Swallowing Pond. The dragon swallowing pond in early autumn is even colder, the outside of this dragon swallowing pond is the waves left by the waterfall, the surrounding is the turquoise pool water, and the middle of the pool is black and dark, the whole dragon swallowing pond is like a human eyeball, but this eyeball is deep and terrifying, the black hole in the middle is like a bottomless abyss, with the rolling of the whirlpool, I don't know how much water is swallowed by this black dragon pond all the year round, which makes people see a kind of cold, cold air climbs up the skin, goosebumps.

And the strange stones can be faintly seen in the pool, turning around in the pool, if there is because of entering, you don't know where to turn in the blink of an eye.

No one dared to set foot in the Dragon Swallowing Pond, and those who tried it never had a second chance.

In autumn and winter, when the water source is weakened, the flow of the waterfall gradually decreases, perhaps because the water source has begun to freeze because of the high mountains, although it is upstream, it is not a water source, it is a necessary place for the water to flow.

Swallowing Dragon Pond looks a lot calmer, like a well-behaved little girl who does not speak, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is picturesque, and the spirit is moving. And when the water is rushing, and the river is surging, the waterfall and the dragon swallowing pond here are also tyrannical, the little girl has changed her face, and has become a scheming girl, spicy and fierce, like a tigress, devouring everything in the past, the waves are rolling, and the boiling water is like a cauldron.

The waterfall and the river are T-shaped, the swallowing dragon pond is at the junction, the boat is passing by next to the swallowing dragon pond, the slightest carelessness will be sucked into the strong suction of the swallowing dragon pond, hit the mountain stone and turn into powder, whether it is a person or a broken boat board will gradually disappear, clean and clean, the water here is exceptionally clear, but it does not take long for the downstream of more than two miles to emerge from the ship board slag. Over time, people have learned that the underground of this Swallowing Dragon Pond is connected to the river, but it is only from the downstream that it can be seen from a distance.

There are also small waterfalls on both sides of the Falling Dragon Cliff, but it is not interesting, and it is also a small stream that falls, and there are only small shrimp in the trickle. On both sides of the river, the slopes of the Falling Dragon Cliff are full of ancient trees, covering the sky and the sun, boundless, and there are thorns, dwarf grasses, vines, and mushrooms in the jungle. In spring and summer, the ancient trees are luxuriant, the leaves are broad, the forest is covered with a veil of mystery, there are often ghosts in it, it is said that it is the fox yellow as a haunt, and there are more demon beasts that occasionally appear, this area is much more dangerous than the village side, the shepherd boy who usually herds cattle and sheep never comes here, only the bold children occasionally come, such as the little dragon, because the horror in the crowd is much more terrifying than this forest, for the little dragon, this is nothing at all, the little dragon even escaped under the attack of the wild boar.

I found a flat place near the shoal, found some dry firewood, lit a fire with flint and steel, set up a stone shelf, and began to roast pheasants, and the thick and hard chicken feathers were thrown into the river beach by the little dragon, and walked along the current, like a splendid little flower.

It was still an autumn morning, and it was still a little cold, so Xiaolong wrapped the remaining chicken feathers into his clothes, pressed them close to his chest, and roasted them on the fire, and soon warmed up.

A year ago, Xiaolong and Tiezhu came to see this legendary terrible holy place, Xiaolong also tried to swim in for a while, the boat could not control the Dragon Swallowing Pond, Xiaolong could stabilize his body after going down, and slowly tried to swim inside, and found that when he was close to the whirlpool, the water slid over the body, very comfortable, like a big hand caressing his whole body, wrapping himself, and after adapting to the cold of the water, he will feel a kind of warmth, Xiaolong is too lacking in love, he needs the warmth of this water flow, and needs this kind of embrace.

Since that day, he came to the Dragon Swallowing Pond to soak for a while, and gradually dived in, diving deeper and deeper day by day, and slowly he found that the Dragon Swallowing Pond is not so terrible, after diving, the raised stones that can be seen can be grasped, because there are a lot of aquatic plants growing in the cracks, and the aquatic plants are extremely tough, and the little dragon even grabbed some aquatic plants and let the whirlpool pull his body in, feeling the pleasure that nature gives him, or if he is really sucked into it and dies, he will die very warm.

Because only then will he forget everything, forget the pain, forget the abuse, forget the resentment, forget the face, the water washes over his heart.

Xiaolong, that is, Baili Mist, he loves mountains and water, but he doesn't like people very much. He is not afraid of life and death, he embraces nature.

Xiaolong felt that the chill on his body began to rise, which indicated that the heat in his body was about to run out, so he hurriedly went ashore, and just climbed the mountain bank, he saw an old Taoist priest sitting next to the fire gnawing on chicken legs, and the whole pheasant was less than a third of it.

The old Taoist priest was in rags, with a scruffy beard, gray hair up to his waist, like an old madman, his face was red with purple, purple with black, the pig's nose arched to the sky, and the toad's eyes were circled with legs.

But the old Taoist priest's eyes were filled with the light reflected by the water waves, and it was a little chilling to look at each other. He was a big man, with a big slap, a tattered robe and trousers, and his boots looked good, like they were made of fine animal skins.

The old Taoist priest was tearing the last chicken leg, chewing it heavily, chirping and chirping, ignoring and turning a blind eye to the little dragon that had just come out of the water.

The little dragon was furious, and pounced on the pheasant with its flesh like a wild dog that had been off its rope.
