Time always passes inadvertently, passing in the alternation of the sun and the moon, passing in the clouds and clouds.

I don't know the years in the mountains, and a few springs and autumns will pass in the blink of an eye.

At the foot of Yao Mountain, a young man was holding a sword in one hand and a sheath in the other, quickly shuttling between the trees, chasing the fleeing tiger in front of him, followed by two white figures, and under closer inspection, they were actually two huge white wolves.

"Yixue and Xiaobai are coming forward to stop it, be careful not to scratch its tiger skin!"

The boy stared ahead and shouted.

The two white wolves behind him sped up, and after a while they caught up with the tiger in front of them, and as the young man said, they did not come forward to fight them, but quietly blocked the way, baring their teeth and letting out a threatening roar.

Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, the tiger suddenly stopped, quickly turned around, and pounced towards the young man with his teeth and claws, and the beast's intuition told him that the greatest threat to him was not the two white wolves in front of him, but the young man chasing after him!

"Good time!"

The young man saw the tiger rushing towards him at the end of his rope, and he was not surprised but rejoiced.

I saw him swing the long sword in his hand with a flickering cold light, and stabbed it towards the tiger's open blood basin mouth, so fast that the tiger didn't have time to react, and he became a dead soul under the sword.

The young man's arm trembled, and the tiger's internal organs were already shattered, and blood mixed with minced meat flowed out of the tiger's mouth that was still open.

"Wait, don't move your mouth yet!"

The young man stretched out his hand to stop the two white wolves who were about to come forward to enjoy the spoils, and muttered to himself: "Hehe, it's going to snow soon, this tiger skin has to be brought back to make a shawl for senior sister to keep out the cold." ”

No wonder when this young man struck, a sword pierced into the tiger's mouth, but it did not hurt the tiger skin, it turned out that he wanted to keep the complete tiger skin and go back to make a shawl for his senior sister.

This young man in the forest is Xu Zhaonan.

Since the day he stepped into Yaoshan, it has been six years, and now Xu Zhaonan is in his prime, and the reason for practicing martial arts all year round is that he is tall and heroic.

And the two white wolves that followed behind him were naturally the two little wolves he picked up from the mountains - Yixue and Xiaobai, and now a few years have passed, the two little wolves have already grown up and are more powerful than their mothers.

Seeing that today's harvest was enough, Xu Zhaonan, who was carrying the tiger on his shoulders and planning to return to the mountain, suddenly saw Yixue's ears move, and the black spot-like nose moved slightly, looking in one direction, and a roar came out of his throat.

Xu Zhaonan stretched his neck and sniffed carefully, there was a strong smell of blood floating in the air, and he couldn't tell whether it was the tiger corpse on his back or from afar, of course, his nose was definitely not as good as Yixue.

At that moment, Xu Zhaonan carried the tiger and greeted the two white wolves to follow, and walked in the direction that Yixue was staring at.

After walking a short distance, I pushed through the grass and saw a man lying in the grass, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

Xu Zhaonan hurriedly put down the tiger corpse, squatted down, and took a closer look, and found that this person was not very old and dressed in fine clothes, and only had a knife wound on his chest, which was bleeding outward with the ups and downs of his breathing, but the knife wound was not fatal. And the man's face turned blue, obviously because he had been poisoned, and it must be that the person who injured him had poison on his knife, and if he was not treated in time, he was afraid that he would die soon.

Xu Zhaonan stretched out his finger and dipped some of the blood oozing from the man, put it under his nose and sniffed it.

Fortunately, it is just the most ordinary stone powder, although it is highly toxic, but it is not difficult to solve, and it happens that I have an antidote with me.

But I don't know who this person is, I don't know if it's a good person or a bad person, and if I accidentally save the wrong person, what should I do?

After hesitating, Xu Zhaonan thought again, if it is a bad person, kill it, he has killed a lot of beasts over the years, and people seem to have not been killed.

At that moment, Xu Zhaonan didn't care about that much, after groping in his arms for a while, he took out a packet of medicinal powder and poured some into the man's mouth, then sprinkled a little on the man's wound, and then tore off the clothes on his wound and bandaged it, then sat on the side of the tiger corpse and waited, Yixue Xiaobai also lay quietly beside him motionless.

"Ahem......"

The antidote worked, and within a moment, the man woke up with a coughing sound.

The man slowly opened his eyes, and at first glance he saw Xu Zhaonan sitting on the tiger corpse, smiled weakly, and said, "Presumably it was this young man who saved me, thank you young man for saving his life, Huo is grateful." ”

"Alright, you don't talk a little bit, don't open the wound that you just wrapped. Xu Zhaonan waved his hand and said.

"Huo was originally a mortal person, if he hadn't been rescued by Shaoxia, he must have walked far away on Huangquan Road by now, and a little injury would be nothing. The man surnamed Huo wanted to laugh two more times, but he pulled the wound and let out a violent cough.

In a trance, Xu Zhaonan seemed to see Gu Sihai lying in front of him like this, and he was also so stubborn.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhaonan's eyes softened slightly, took out the water bladder he was carrying from his waist, handed it to the man, and said, "Drink saliva first, I'll give you an antidote, the poison will dissipate after a while, and the knife wound on your chest will not be in the way." ”

"Hmm. The man nodded, took the water bladder, took a few sips slowly, and then honestly lay on the ground silently pranayama, waiting for his strength to recover.

After a short rest, he noticed that his physical strength was gradually recovering, the man struggled to sit up with his hands on the ground and leaned on the trunk behind him, facing Xu Zhaonan, and carefully looked at the young man in front of him.

The person surnamed Huo raised his arm weakly and thanked him: "In Xia Huo Chunlei, I was chased and killed by the enemy today, and I was fortunate to be rescued by Shaoxia, and I dared to ask Shaoxia's name, Huo Mou will definitely be rewarded in the future." ”

"My name is Xu Zhaonan. ”

Xu Zhaonan's mind was not on the name of the report now, seeing that Huo Chunlei was almost recovered, he opened his mouth and asked, "Why are you injured like this, who was injured?" I still thought in my heart, if he is a good person, I will let him go, if he is a wicked person, I can save him and kill him.

After all, he is not deeply involved in the world, but Xu Zhaonan never thought that there is a real wicked person in the world who will write the word "wicked" on his face and promote it everywhere.

Huo Chunlei didn't know what he was thinking, and said with a wry smile: "Huo is a person from Yijian Pavilion, and my father is the enemy of Huo Ren, the pavilion master of Yijian Pavilion...... Probably all dead and wounded, I fled all the way here...... Ahem......"

The injury has not healed, and after saying so much in one breath, there was a cough under the wound, and after coughing, Huo Chunlei continued: "I thought I was going to go with them, but I didn't expect that my life should not be extinguished, I was saved by Xu Shaoxia, cough cough ......" There was another violent cough.

Yijian Pavilion, but I heard Uncle Gu say that it is a Jianghu force located in Dongsheng, and its headquarters is located in Zigui County in the east. Pavilion Master Huo is an enemy of Bo Yuntian, who is chivalrous and righteous everywhere, and is quite chivalrous in the rivers and lakes, and the young pavilion master who wants to come to Yijian Pavilion will not be a big traitor.

"I've heard of Yijian Pavilion. ”

Xu Zhaonan nodded, and then asked, "Then why did someone block the road and intercept you? Do you know who it is?"

Huo Chunlei said: "Everyone who comes is masked with black cloth, and the martial arts come from a mixed path, so I can't tell who it is." ”

"That's ......"

Xu Zhaonan thought for a moment and said, "Then do you have enemies?"

"Not ever. ”

Huo Chunlei's answer was unexpected by Xu Zhaonan, how could there be no enemies in the rivers and lakes.

I only heard Huo Chunlei continue: "My father is chivalrous and righteous, and he teaches me and my eldest brother by word and deed, I never have a grudge against others, how can there be an enemy." ”

This is unusual, but Xu Zhaonan has one benefit, that is, he doesn't think about things he doesn't understand.

Xu Zhaonan said: "I just helped you get rid of the poison, but your serious injuries have not healed and you still need to recuperate, this barren mountain is not a good place to cultivate, where do you live, or I will send you back." ”

Huo Chunlei was a little embarrassed to let Xu Zhaonan help again, and hesitated for a moment without speaking.

Xu Zhaonan saw Huo Chunlei's hesitation, and said: "Uncle Gu said, help people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, since I saved you, it is nothing to send you back." ”

Hearing this, Huo Chunlei had no choice but to be grateful: "There is no need to send it back to Yijian Pavilion so troublesomely, there is a backing city dozens of miles to the north, and there is my family's business name in the city, Xu Shaoxia only needs to send me there, and then Huo Mou should thank Xu Shaoxia for his great kindness." ”

Xu Zhaonan waved his hand and said indifferently: "There is no need to say thank you anymore, people are in the rivers and lakes, and it is the right time to draw a knife to help when the road is uneven, and I don't need you to repay it." ”

However, speaking of the backing city, Xu Zhaonan made some difficulties, he knew where this city was, and occasionally followed Grandma Sun down the mountain to buy supplies to go to the backing city, but it was dozens of miles away from here, and Huo Chunlei was injured and couldn't hurry.

I'm afraid that I will have to delay for a day back and forth, and if I haven't returned for a long time, my senior sister will definitely look for him everywhere if she is in a hurry, and it will be bad.

And this tiger skin shoulder that was originally intended to be given to my senior sister can't just be thrown here and left alone.

But if Xu Zhaonan is allowed to go back to the mountain now to say goodbye and go again, the mountain road is rugged and it is not good to take Huo Chunlei all the way to a bumpy road, if he is thrown here, in case he encounters a wild beast, it is good to send away Yixue and Xiaobai, but if the enemy chases him, I am afraid it will not be enough to stop the enemy.

"There you go. ”

Xu Zhaonan, who thought for a moment, had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and asked Huo Chunlei, "Do you have a pen on you?"

Huo Chunlei was stunned, he didn't understand what he was going to do, but he still groped in his arms, and after a while, he took out a delicate rabbit quill and said with a smile: "This Qingzhou rabbit is still a gift from my eldest brother on my birthday last year, and I took it with me. With that, he handed the brush in his hand to Xu Zhaonan.

After taking the brush, Xu Zhaonan didn't say much, only to see him squat down and tear off a strip of cloth from the hem of his clothes, and wrote with blood stains on the ground, "Senior sister, I saved a person in the mountains today, and after sending him home, he will return tomorrow, don't worry about it!"

After writing, he let Yixue hold the strip of cloth with his mouth, and put the tiger corpse sitting under him on Yixue's broad back, patted the hair on the top of its head, and explained: "Okay, Yixue, quickly bring this strip of cloth and the tiger back to the senior sister, leave less saliva, don't confuse the handwriting, and don't secretly eat the prey on the road." ”

Yixue held a strip of cloth in her mouth, carried a tiger corpse on her back, and rubbed Xu Zhaonan's palm with her big head, then turned around and ran towards the mountains and forests.

After Huo Chunlei saw this scene, he said in amazement: "This white wolf raised by Brother Xu is really handsome, and he can still understand people's words." ”

"Hahahaha. ”

Hearing someone praise Yixue, Xu Zhaonan was even happier than he was praised, and said with a smile: "Yixue is talented, not only looks mighty, but also smarter." ”

After that, he squatted down and touched Xiaobai's head lying on the side, and praised: "Xiaobai is just as smart." ”

Xiaobai was comfortably fascinated by his eyes, lying on the ground still being stroked by Xu Zhaonan, and the thick tail behind him swayed from side to side.

"Alright, Xiaobai stand up, it's time for us to go. ”

Xu Zhaonan patted Xiaobai's head and said.

After Xiaobai got up from the ground, Xu Zhaonan helped Huo Chunlei and let him ride on Xiaobai's broad wolf's back.

Being ridden by a stranger, Xiao Bai was naturally a little uncomfortable, his powerful front paws rubbed against the ground, his fangs poked out of his mouth, and he let out a whirring roar in his throat.

"Little white girl, he has difficulty moving, just let him ride on you and send him back. ”

Xu Zhaonan continued to stroke Xiaobai's supple hair and comforted.
