The next day, Xu Zhi, Xue Atan and He Mengjiao accompanied Wang Jin in the house to talk. Xu Zhi caught a glimpse of An Jingsi popping out small pebbles with his fingers outside the house, although these small stones were small, they could shoot down leaves ten zhang away, and those leaves fell from the trees one after another, like butterflies flying in the air.

When Xu Zhi saw this, he blurted out: "Jing Si, what a handsome finger flick!"

An Jingsi listened outside the house, and made another move, "Heavenly Maiden Scattered Flowers", and waved out more than a dozen stones with both hands, shooting them in four directions: forward, backward, left and right. The small rocks hit different targets one after the other, making a thumping sound. Xue Atan and He Mengjiao saw it, and they also applauded!

An Jingsi listened outside the house, and was very proud in his heart, but he didn't know that a cow rushed behind him, and the cow was followed by a large group of villagers, shouting in unison: "Little Jingsi quickly dodge, that cow is crazy, when he sees people, he will hit things! This beast has already knocked down a wall and several trees!"

Wang Jin, Xu Zhi and others saw that the mad cow was about to knock down Xiao Jingsi, who knew that Jingsi did not retreat, but turned around suddenly, took a step back, formed a bow shape with his legs, grabbed the two horns of the cow's head with two small hands, and held it firmly.

Everyone first exclaimed, and then there was a burst of applause: "Xiao Jingsi, what a natural divine power, you actually firmly restrained a mad cow!", everyone hurried over, tied the cow with ropes, and said to Wang Jin: "Lord Wang, tomorrow we will kill this mad cow and treat our guests from afar, how about it?"

Wang Jin said with a smile: "Okay, tomorrow I will let the three of them go to the neighbors' houses as guests, and let everyone see the customs outside the mountain!"

Everyone responded cheerfully, and then a few strong young men came up and dragged the mad cow back with great difficulty. Wang Jin saw that everyone had left, so he called An Jingsi over.

Xue Atan thought to himself that he was infinitely powerful, and he could only stop the impact of a wild boar, as for stopping the attack of a mad cow, but he couldn't, he saw that An Jingsi was only more than ten years old, and he had such divine power, and he was greatly puzzled, so he said to An Jingsi: "Jingsi, you can withstand the impact of a mad cow at a young age, the eldest brother is very unbelievable, do you dare to compare the arm strength and wrist strength with the eldest brother?"

An Jingsi replied: "Brother Xue, what don't you dare, then how do you say you should compete?"

Xue Atan said: "There are two boulders stacked on top of each other, weighing a thousand catties, which of us lifts it above our heads, even if whoever wins, how?", it turned out that Xue Atan thought: Xiao Jingsi is only a head taller than those two stones, how can he have the arm strength to lift it, even if it is lifted, it is almost impossible, and he will win this game.

Knowing that An Jingsi was not afraid, he replied briskly: "Brother Xue, if I win, what if I win?"

Xue Atan laughed and said, "If you win, I will call you eldest brother, and I will listen to your orders in the future." ”

An Jingsi smiled: "That is a word, and you can't go back!"

Xue Atan also responded in a cheerful voice: "That's natural, your big brother Xue's words count!"

Wang Jin and the others were also amused by the bold words of the two when they bet. After An and Xue finished speaking, they were about to move the two big stones, but they didn't expect Xiao Jingsi to have the style of a gentleman, and said to Xue Atanqian: "Brother Xue, you are a guest from afar, I am the master, let you move first!"

Xue Atan didn't be polite to An Jingsi, and responded: "Okay! I'll move first, Brother Xue doesn't want to take advantage of you, you must be tired from subduing the mad cow just now, so let you rest for a while!", after speaking, he rolled up his sleeves, stretched out two thick arms, leaned over, grabbed the two edges and corners of the stone with a pair of iron hands, shouted, straightened his stomach, and lifted the stone weighing about a thousand pounds above his head with great effort, but due to excessive force, he actually broke the trouser belt. Xue Atan didn't care about being shy, but smiled proudly at An Jingsi, and everyone clapped their hands when they saw Xue Atan lifting a thousand catties of boulders, but Xue Atan was pressed by a thousand catties of boulders, and fine beads of sweat continued to flow out of his forehead, and he couldn't move half a step.

An Jingsi saw Xue Atan throw the boulder down, he was already out of breath, tired and slumped on the ground, smiled slightly, and shouted: "Brother Xue, this is the last time I call you big brother, look at the little brother!", After speaking, just like grabbing cotton, he grabbed a boulder with one hand, his face was not red, he was not panting, he lifted the two boulders above his head, and deliberately walked around in front of everyone easily.

Xue Atan shouted in shame: "Xiao Jingsi, you are so thin, how can you lift both stones?", this scene even Xu Zhi and He Mengjiao were stunned, the two opened their mouths, and were speechless for a long time in surprise.

How do you know that Xue Atan did not admit defeat, he was cheeky, and said to An Jingsi: "There is no winner in this game, both of us have lifted big stones, we still need to try again, and then decide to win or lose!"

An Jingsi asked, "Then how will you compete next?"

Xue Atan saw that An Jingsi was not tall and not very strong, and thought that if I tried to wrestle with him, I would definitely be able to win him by relying not only on arm strength but also on the advantage of my body weight, so he said: "Otherwise, if we wrestle against each other, whoever is knocked down first will admit defeat, how about it?"

Before Xue Atan's words were finished, He Mengjiao scolded: "Xue Atan, you rely on your five big and three thick, and you are ashamed to compete with a child in wrestling and concentration?"

Xue Atan lost a game, and he was very unconvinced, so he didn't pay attention to He Mengjiao's words, and just stared at An Jingsi. An Jingsi was not afraid, and replied: "The competition is the competition, who is afraid of whom!"

An and Xue went down to wrestle again, Xue Atan relied on his weight advantage to strike first, stretched out his hands like iron tongs, held down An Jingsi's shoulders, and wanted to lift him off the ground and throw him to the ground. Knowing that An Jingsi did not resist, his feet were like tree roots growing in the ground, not moving at all, Xue Atan couldn't lift An Jingsi with all his strength, and his face was flushed with shame and impatience, but no matter how hard he tried, it was useless.

An Jingsi sneered and shouted, "Brother Xue, you have to be careful!", after speaking, he stepped on Xue Atan's foot suddenly, and Xue Atan, who was in pain, raised his left foot and screamed. An Jingsi couldn't help but bend down, supported Xue Atan's right leg with both hands, lifted him above his head, and asked loudly: "Brother Xue, admit defeat or not!"

An Jingsi saw Xue Atan's face red, and he didn't answer, he asked him three times in a row, and seeing that he was still not convinced, he waved his hand and threw him out of the way, and fell heavily to the ground. Xue Atan struggled to get up from the ground, his face flushed, and he quibbled: "Good boy, you are cheating and sneaking up on me, and you can't win or lose this one!"

Xu Zhi saw that Xue Atan's words didn't count, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he said to Xue Atan: "Brother Xue, since ancient times, you admit to gambling and losing, if you lose, you lose, what else are you arguing about?"

An Jingsi smiled at Xue Atan and said, "Brother Xue, Jingsi will be generous once today, and give you another chance, what else do you want to try?"

Xue Atan shouted: "Let's test our wrist strength again, we will wring our hands together to see who will press whose arm on the table, this game will be won or lost!"

An Jingsi smiled: "That's good, let's compare wrist strength!" After speaking, he twisted his wrist and Xue Atan's wrist together, He Mengjiao just shouted: "The competition begins", Xue Altan struggled to press An Jingsi's wrist, but no matter how hard he tried, he didn't pull An Jingsi's wrist at all, and An Jingsi smiled slightly, and shouted: "Let me go down!", and clamped Xue Atan's arm and wrist on the table, so that it couldn't move.

At this time, Xue Atan stopped quibbling, knelt on one knee and shouted loudly: "Brother An is on top, the younger brother admits defeat, and the younger brother will obey the eldest brother's orders in everything in the future!"

At this time, An Jingsi didn't push, learned to be an adult, stretched out his hand to help Xue Atan up from the ground, and said: "Brother Xue, you don't have to make such a big gift! We will all be brothers in the future!"

He Mengjiao saw Xue Atan bow his head to An Jingsi and admit defeat, and quipped: "Since Xue Altan has already admitted defeat, he will call Xiao Jingsi the eldest brother when he sees him in the future, and he can't regret it for the rest of his life!"

Xue Atan saw that everyone was looking at him with puzzled eyes, he suddenly knelt on the ground, and swore to the sky: "God is above, I, Xue Aniu, call An Jingsi my eldest brother today, An Jingsi will be my eldest brother all my life! If I disobey, I will not die well!", everyone saw that Xue Atan was very solemn, and they all stopped laughing, only to know: He sincerely worshiped Xiao Jingsi as the eldest brother just now.

Xu Zhi was very surprised and puzzled when he saw that An Jingsi had such divine power at such a young age, and asked Wang Jin about An Jingsi's life experience. Wang Jin called An Jingsi to sit down beside him and told everyone:

It turned out that in a small village in Daizhou, a stone statue of a general was erected in some direction. The locals have passed it down from generation to generation: this stone statue is a star in the sky, and anyone who is favored by General Shi will get good luck. One day more than ten years ago, a girl surnamed He in the village came back from picking flowers, she saw this stone statue, threw it casually, and the flower basket was actually put on General Shi's neck impartially. Unexpectedly, when this girl He returned home, she became pregnant before she got married. In that village, unmarried pregnancies were punishable by death. Although Miss He repeatedly explained, to no avail, she had to escape from the village and secretly gave birth to the child. Since then, Miss He has had to take a child, and the mother and son live alone.

When the child was four years old, Miss He took the child to General Nashi and asked the child to worship his father. Unexpectedly, when the child knew that his father was such a stone statue, he launched a ruthless attack and smashed the stone statue with one punch. Seeing this, Miss He was angry and anxious. She forced the child to kneel down and plead guilty to his father, and asked the child to pick up the stones on the ground and put them back one by one, and named the child "An Jingsi" (a homonym for An Jinshi). Later, An Jingsi's mother died of illness when he was eight years old, the child was helpless, and was trafficked to Luoyang as a slave, he couldn't bear the torture, escaped, and was touched by the old man, so he took him back to the Taiba Valley.

Xu Zhi and He Mengjiao were no longer surprised to hear that An Jingsi could break stone statues at the age of four and knew that his divine power was innate. Xue Atan said to everyone even more convincingly: "I'm afraid that my big brother An is not a mortal fetus, he should be a martial artist in the sky, and it is not a shame for me to lose to him, haha!", not only was he not ashamed, but he was a little proud.

The next day, Wang Jin led Xu Zhi, Xue Atan and He Mengjiao to visit the neighbors again, and the villagers held the hands of the three and fought to keep them at home for dinner. Xu Zhi and the others were very embarrassed, and just when they were in a dilemma, one of the white-haired old men suggested: "Otherwise, let's all stop fighting, how about we all have an open-air flowing water banquet with guests from afar?"

The crowd agreed and found a spacious flat land in the taiga valley to arrange a banquet. Under the arrangement of several old grandfathers in the village, this family brought tables, that family brought stools, the owner brought wine, and the west family brought dishes.

Not far away, several young and strong men shouted, struggling to slaughter the bound mad cow, and carried more than 1,000 catties of beef over in pieces, and more than a dozen steaming cauldrons had already been set up around them, men, women and children went into battle together, stir-fried vegetables, cooked rice, simmered meat, and the banquet was ready in a short time.

All the villagers unanimously invited Xu Zhi and the three of them to sit at the banquet, and Xu Zhi and the three of them hurriedly gave in and let the old man of the village take a seat. Both sides argued, and in the end, Xu Zhi and the old people had to sit around on the ground, and the other villagers also sat on the ground according to their ages.

Xu Zhi first picked up the wine glass, toasted a glass of wine to everyone, and said: "Xu Zhi borrowed flowers to offer Buddha today, and toasted all the neighbors with a glass of wine, thank you for your hospitality to the three of us in the past few days." ”

Xue Atan and He Mengjiao also said in unison: "Thank you folks for taking care of you in the past few days, your great kindness, the three of us will never forget!"

The men, women, and children of the whole village drank a glass of wine, and an old man smiled and said: "The three distant guests don't need to say thank you, we mountain people have nothing good to entertain you, and please forgive me! I am ashamed to say that we in the whole village can rarely go out of the mountains, and we don't know what kind of world the world outside the mountains is?"

Xu Zhi saw that the villagers were looking at him with expectant eyes, and sighed: "All the neighbors want to understand the world beyond the mountain, but the three of us hope to never go out of this valley and live happily with you forever." ”

A few old men beside Xu Zhi saw that everyone had finished drinking the wine in their hands, and said: "Don't hide it from the three distinguished guests, we have lived in seclusion in this valley for generations, just hoping that one day we can get a pardon from the imperial court and avoid our crime of defection." However, we have been waiting for it from generation to generation, and we have no news at all, and we are not willing to do it in our hearts! When our generation is old, we can hide our names and have few desires, but our children, they are still young, and they dream of being upright and upright Tang people!"

Xu Zhi stood up and said with tears in his eyes: "Xu Zhi understands the meaning of the villagers, but the Tang Dynasty outside the mountain is no longer the Tang Dynasty in everyone's dreams, the court is dim, the place is erosive, people's minds have changed, they are deceitful, people's hearts are not ancient, and the world is declining, these are all signs of the end of the world!"

After listening to Xu Zhi's words, everyone stopped eating and drinking, and secretly wept.

Xu Zhi said again: "Fellow villagers, listen to our advice, never go out of the mountain, this mountain is not peaceful, rather than a peaceful dog, not a troubled world! Everyone lives in this paradise, happy, peaceful, family reunion, sunrise and sunset, there is nothing happier than this!"

On behalf of the villagers of the whole village, several old people returned a glass of wine to Xu Zhi and the others, and begged: "Three distinguished guests, we also know that the world outside this mountain is not as beautiful as imagined, but our children cannot be buried in this unloved coniferous valley forever, they also have to go out of this mountain, make meritorious contributions, and wash away the shame of their ancestors for more than a hundred years!"

Xu Zhi, Xue Atan, and He Mengjiao listened to it, knowing that the longing and yearning of the whole village for the world outside the mountain could not be stopped by any difficulties and dangers, and the three of them had to nod heavily, which could be regarded as understanding and respect for the villagers.
