"My name is Tang Qian! I don't know who my father and mother are, there are basically no living people in my house, I heard that this is a good village, you can eat meat!" The young man was still dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and his voice was very loud.

No matter what kind of teenager he is, if he has just eaten a good bowl of broth, he still has a dry cloth to wipe the rain on his body.

The sound will not be small.

The little maid Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing: "You are really an interesting person, I said, you better be quiet, although our family's compound is very large, but in the middle of the night to the neighborhood, you will still be scolded." ”

Tang Qian had already wiped the rain off his body at this time, and looked at the two people who rescued him back.

One is a maid, she introduced herself, her name is very strange, called Xiaoxiao, while the other woman's face is still very vague, even if Tang Qian looks at it seriously, he always feels that he can't remember the appearance of this woman.

The woman smiled: "This is Osprey Village, and the place where you are is called the Shen family, I am the eldest daughter of the Shen family, called Shen Xiaowu, and my maid was also given a Xiao character, but there is no other name, so it is called Xiao Xiao." ”

Although Tang Qian is very young, he is very reasonable: "You will not save me for nothing, there must be some price, it is better to tell it directly." ”

His thin body, thick eyebrows and big eyes, stood in the room, but the whole person and the wind and rain behind him seemed to merge into one, standing straight and looking at the two women in front of him.

"There's really something to ask you for. Shen Xiaowu smiled lightly: "This matter is not very troublesome, I will be traveling far away in the near future, so I want to ask you to discipline my brother Shen Xiaobo." ”

Shen Xiaowu pointed behind him, and behind a screen, a small head was revealed, looking at the room vigilantly.

Tang Qian asked, "That's all?"

Shen Xiaowu pondered for a moment: "The Shen family is a big family, so you can eat and live." ”

Tang Qian scratched his head: "What if there is danger? I have seen a lot of strange things in the mountains along the way." ”

Shen Xiaowu said softly: "If life and death are in danger, it is normal for people to go their own way, and I have no way to force you to do this." ”

On this day, it was the first time Tang Qian and Shen Xiaobo met, Shen Xiaobo was the young master of the traditional landlord's family, dressed in brocade clothes and jade food, and wearing very expensive clothes, seeing Tang Qian like a savage, he was very afraid.

I always feel that this child who is much older than herself is very scary, at least in terms of breath, it is somewhat similar to her own sister, her sister is gentle and lovely at all times, very gentle, but if she makes any decisions, even her father has no way to change it.

Tang Qian stared at the half-grown child, stretched out his hand and smiled: "Yo roar, please advise." ”

Three years later.

Osprey Village.

"Tang Qian, let me tell you, the 'Yiqu River' flowing through Osprey Village is the most powerful river around, do you know why?" Shen Xiaobo grew up a lot, but said

Bai is still a child, and he always likes to ask questions every day.

There are also some things that they think they know, and they like to ask Tang Qian with words like "Do you know why?"

Tang Qian has grown a lot taller, just like he said, he is helpless, there is no one at home, and he has a stability when he comes here, he actually feels very good like this.

Even when he saw the old housekeeper of the Shen family, he sometimes wondered if he would be like this after a few decades.

Tang Qian didn't know the interesting things that happened to him in the next life, Zhongzhou, Yunzhou, Xudu, Xia Yubing, Hua Suwen, Immortal, Lifelong Monk, he really didn't seem to know anything.

At this time, Tang Qian was really just a fifteen-year-old Tang Qian.

and a twelve-year-old Shen Xiaobo beside him.

At this time, Tang Qian was lying lazily, with a long grass in his mouth, which had no other meaning, but in this case, he had a reason not to answer Shen Xiaobo's question and let Shen Xiaobo speak beside him.

Shen Xiaobo found that Tang Qian was in a daze again, he felt uninteresting, but he felt that it was a little boring not to say what he suddenly thought of.

The child must have to say what he thinks, so he said to himself by himself: "Because this is the largest river under Tianquan Peak, like a jade belt, and I heard that swordsmen like to wash their swords here the most." ”

Shen Xiaobo's face yearned, in this child's world, there are many things that Tang Qian feels that he will never see in his life, such as this child firmly believes that there are rivers and lakes in the world, and there are chivalrous, and sometimes Tang Qian also looks at the child and looks through some stories of immortals and monsters.

After all, it's all out of the blue.

So he asked, "Why did the swordsman wash his sword?"

The child was entangled for a long time, and he couldn't say why, and finally Shen Xiaobo said angrily: "Naturally, it's because it's so handsome." ”

In front of them was a large river, the water was so fast that it seemed to be tilted, and the other bank could be vaguely seen in the distance, but no one had ever reached it.

The river is too wide, and the water is too fast, and in the middle of the river, there is a row of stone sculptures, standing in the water, are stone pillars, and on the stone pillars stand ospreys made of stones.

This is where the village of Osprey gets its name.

"Swordsmen wash their swords because their swords are dull. A deep voice said, this is a man's voice, he appeared behind Tang Qian and them, silently, this person was dressed in a hat robe, and there was a sword at his waist, Shen Xiaobo's eyes were about to look straight.

It's a stranger.

Maybe this is the swordsman on the rivers and lakes?

Shen Xiaobo couldn't help but ask, "Why does the swordsman's sword become dull?"

This stranger actually squatted directly by the river, drew his sword, and for a while the bloody aura overflowed, Tang Qian's lazy expression just now completely changed, his person was already in front of Shen Xiaobo, and the stranger said softly: "If the sword is stained with blood, it will always become dull." ”

It seems that the stranger has just discovered Don

Qian's expression and nervous posture laughed loudly: "I won't do anything to you, your expression is too scary, boy." ”

This person's bloody qi came from the sword, and the scabbard was also full of blood, Shen Xiaobo didn't know whose blood it was, the water of the river flowed quickly, and the blood stains on the sword had been washed away.

Shen Xiaobo found that Tang Qian was in front of him, and the child's courage increased, and he pretended to be bold and asked the stranger: "Where are you from?"

The stranger was stunned.

He thought for a moment: "Naturally, it's from the entrance of the village." ”

The entrance to Osprey Village is not very atmospheric, even just two logs, and there is a creaky wooden sign with Osprey Village written crookedly.

At the entrance of the village was an old man, who looked very old, with a mud-stained beard, leaning on a hoe by his side, and not far away a half-turned field.

And an old scalper who has nothing to do.

The old man had no idea of going back to work, and even leaned against the pillar at the entrance of the village, wanting to take a nap.

Bustling, many strangers, seem to like to come here at this time, the old man's eyes are yellow, he picked up a piece of mud in his hand, pulled a few times and turned it into a dry tobacco pot, he simply took out some dry tobacco from his arms, stuffed it in, and did not see him light the fire, there was already a spark in the dry tobacco bag.

He took a few puffs.

These strangers really seem to be here to catch the market.

"Uncle. A gentle voice asked, "Do you know how a young man named Tang Qian has been doing in recent years?"

The interrogator was a woman, a very good-looking woman, and there was a little maid behind the woman, and she didn't seem to be any different from when she left here.

It's Xiaoshino.

She didn't follow Shen Xiaowu at this time, the woman in front of her was very strange, and the old man didn't know her, but he knew Xiao Xiao: "The little maid of the Shen family...... It's not impossible to say that he is doing quite well, and the entire Osprey Village belongs to his ability to catch 'fish' the best. ”

Tang Qian looked puzzled, the sword in the stranger's hand was quickly put away, and he also took off the hat on his head, it was not fierce, nor was it as handsome and ethereal as Shen Xiaobo imagined, just an uncle who looked harmless to humans and animals.

There was even a lot of stubble on his face, he looked at the two teenagers with a smile, and said, "As I said, I hope to be able to buy the 'fish' in this river, I don't know if you have any recommendations, I heard that ...... There was a boy who was able to catch fish in the middle of the rapids. ”

The middle-aged uncle's eyes looked at Tang Qian.

Tang Qian looked farther away, there was a foreshore by the river, although the river was turbulent, but there was a group of bold children playing in the water next to it.

"Someone fell overboard!"

This seems to be a very common thing, and the stranger also turned around, and he looked at Tang Qian and Shen Xiaobo again

Now they were too indifferent, and the boy was swept into the middle of the river in a few waves.

"Hey, aren't you going to save him?" the stranger scratched his head, but quickly figured it out, "yes, you can't get out if you go in, right?"

Shen Xiaobo shook his head: "No, because we have osprey river gods." ”

The middle-aged man was a little strange.

The stone osprey closest to the child who was about to be devoured by the waves opened its eyes, and this osprey, with a pair of dark red eyes like rubies, opened its wings and flew towards the child.

The stone osprey is not big, but its strength is not small, and as soon as its claws are grasped, the child is pulled up, and it is extremely fast, from the time it spreads its wings to the rescue, and then to the child ashore, it is all in one go, just a few blinks of an eye, and it has already flown back.

It's just that in the process of flying, it suddenly skimmed down, caught a fish from a curved river, and as soon as its claws were raised, the fish flew up, and it was swallowed by it, and the movement of the clouds and rivers did not look like a stone statue at all.

But when it returned to its original position, standing on the stone platform, standing still, it really looked like a stone sculpture.

Lifelike stone carvings.
