Chapter 5: A False Alarm

Xuan Ape suddenly remembered that the child in front of him should be very young, and it should not be the mountain by himself, and he must be accompanied by his family. After staying in the mountain guard array for such a long time, his family should be very anxious if he can't find him.

The Xuan Ape sent a message to the fire dragon and the red-tailed squirrel, "His family should be in a hurry after not seeing him for so long. Let's hurry into the bell space. Since this kid is also a squirrel friend, let's go out together. Squirrel Daoist, please first. ”

The red-tailed squirrel was overjoyed to hear that it was able to come out of the battle, but Yun Zhong grabbed its tail and showed no sign of letting go, which made it distressed.

Seeing this situation, the fire dragon reluctantly said, "If he doesn't let go, what should he do?"

The red-tailed squirrel suddenly thought of something and transmitted the sound to the ape and the fire dragon. "When I found the kid, I asked him to sit on my back and jump back and forth between the trees. Sometimes, I would see a middle-aged man lying on his stomach on a mountain. I am unfamiliar with the place where he is, could it be Qingyun Mountain outside the big array. ”

Just now, the Xuan Ape and the Fire Dragon were just speculating, and the bracelets might be able to break through the mountain guarding array. And the red-tailed squirrel's words proved that Yun Zhong could indeed shuttle through the mountain guarding array. This made the blood of the ape and the fire dragon boil even more.

Xuan Ape slowly calmed down and said, "It seems that as long as this little child is around, he can go out of the mountain guarding array. I entered the bell space with the Fire Dragon Daoyou, and the Squirrel Daoist just followed this little child. With that, he entered one of the bells. The fire dragon followed suit, entering another bell.

Yun Chong saw that the Xuan Ape and the Fire Dragon were suddenly gone, and his heart was a little sad, but the thought of at least one squirrel had reduced his unhappiness a lot. Perhaps thinking that the time spent playing was too long, Daddy may be frantically looking for himself, and Yun Chong dragged the red-tailed squirrel down the mountain. The red-tailed squirrel was grabbed by the tail by the cloud and could not enter the bell space, so he had to be dragged by the cloud heavy. But Yun Zhong dragged himself like this, and the red-tailed squirrel felt a little uncomfortable, and stretched out his palm to signal Yun Zhong to his back. Yun Zhong still clearly remembered the thrill of riding on the back of the red-tailed squirrel just now, and when he saw it signaling, he jumped violently and jumped onto the back of the red-tailed squirrel.

The red-tailed squirrel was much faster than Yun Chongke, and it climbed up the tree in two strokes and scurried through the woods. And it remembered the place where the middle-aged man was found. When I got to the place where I saw the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man was already gone. The red-tailed squirrel jumped somewhere else to look for it.

Yun Qing lay in the bushes for a morning, only caught four rabbits and two pheasants, and the deer that often haunted here did not even see a shadow. Thinking of his son's cute little face, Yun Qing felt a little disappointed in his heart. I had to comfort myself that maybe my son had forgotten about the fawn, and he had caught a few rabbits, and his son might like it.

Thinking that he would be able to see his son soon, Yun Qing's pace was also a little brisk. How could I not like my wife who gave birth to a son who was pregnant for so long. Thinking of the vision of the day his son was born, Yun Qing thought to himself that his son might also become an immortal like the third prince. By the way, thanks to Ling'er, who went to Nuwa Palace to burn incense and begged, he said that he would go to Nuwa Palace to make a vow in a few days. The abbot of Myohoji Temple also said that he had a son, and this time he would like to thank the abbot. In a few days, it will be my son's first birthday, and when the time comes, invite the whole village to be lively.

Fantasizing about the lively scene of his son's anniversary, Yun Qing came to the place where his son was hidden. Yun Qing was covered in cold sweat and involuntarily flowed down, his son was gone! The most important quality of a hunter is calmness, after the initial confusion, Yun Qing gradually calmed down, and looked carefully around the basket, except for a few small footprints, no footprints of the beast were found. Yun Qing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that his son was impatient to wait, so he walked out of the basket.

Yun Qing chased down his son's footprints, and there were no traces of wild beasts, but his son's flickering footprints suddenly disappeared after passing through two extremely thick cypress trees. This made Yun Qing's heart pinch again. He searched everywhere and found no footprints of the beast or his son, and there was not a trace of blood, but that did not mean that his son was safe. It is possible that the big python coiled on the tree swallowed the son in one bite, so there were no traces on the ground and no traces of blood. When he was hunting with his father, he had seen a large python that could swallow an adult in one bite, let alone a baby.

Although Yun Qing didn't want to think like this, judging from the current indications, this possibility was the highest. Thinking that his son, who was just less than a year old, might have left him, how should he explain to his wife, who has always been frail and sickly, for fear that she would not be able to stand the grief of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man. Yun Qingmeng thought: No, I can't give up. Even if the son was really eaten by the python, there should be bones. I shouldn't have given up even a little hope until I saw the bones.

Yun Qing naturally didn't know that the place where Yun Chong's footprints disappeared was the mountain guarding array of Qingyun Mountain, and with the support of the spiritual pillar that at least wanted to find his son's bones, Yun Qing turned around the mountain and looked for the places where the python might be infested, and even the python's cave also threw a lot of fast stones.

But the strange thing is that after searching the entire Qingyun Mountain, Yun Qing has not seen a single python, and even some other beasts seem to have disappeared all at once. Yun Qing estimated that they were all hiding in the cave, but no matter how he provoked in front of the python's cave, the python just wouldn't come out. Since the pythons didn't dare to come out, it couldn't be that they ate their son. Thinking of this, Yun Qing's spirit was shocked, maybe his son was still alive.

The sun was about to set, the sky was getting darker and darker, and Yun Qing had not yet found his son. What should I do? Do I go down the mountain or continue to look for it? My wife may have been in a hurry. But I lost my son, how can I have the face to face my wife. But he never went up to the mountains to hunt for more than a day, and he went back at dusk at the latest, and if he didn't even go back, wouldn't his wife be even more anxious.

Thinking about it, Yun Qing felt that he should go back first and call some villagers to look for it, so that the chances would be greater. There are also some wild fruits on Qingyun Mountain that have fallen to the ground after ripening, and his son may pick them up and eat them himself? Although he knows that this possibility is too small, after all, he has never taught him what to eat and what not to eat. Besides, Yun Chong is not yet a year old now, how can he be able to gnaw those mountain fruits. But now going down the mountain to move the rescuers is the best way.

Despite this, Yun Qing still held on to hope, hoping that his son had returned to the basket he had prepared for him. Before going down the mountain, Yunqing came to the place where the basket was put again. From a distance, Yunqing heard a crisp and pleasant laughter, and this voice was still very familiar to him, wasn't this the voice of his son Yunzhong.

Yun Qing was a little suspicious that he had auditory hallucinations. Some mushrooms in the mountains cause hallucinations or auditory hallucinations when they are eaten by mistake. But Yun Qingshan stepped forward with enough food and did not eat the mushrooms on the mountain. Like a drowning man who accidentally grabbed a life-saving straw, Yun Qing ran frantically towards the basket, and at this time that little hope had begun to swell until infinity.

The red-tailed squirrel carried Yun Zhong around the mountain, but did not find Yun Qing, so he had to stay in the place where he put the basket and wait for Yun Qing to come back and find it. Seeing that the aura in the bell space was thick, neither of them wanted to let go of such a good opportunity to cultivate, and they stayed inside to practice the exercises, and there was no sign of coming out at all.

Yun Chong saw that he couldn't find Yun Qing, and he was also a little anxious. Fortunately, there was a red-tailed squirrel by his side, otherwise he would have cried at such a young age. When Yun Zhong came to the basket, he didn't see Yun Chong, so he looked around, but he relaxed the tail of the red-tailed squirrel, and the red-tailed squirrel took the opportunity to escape. At this time, when he saw that he couldn't find Yunqing, he was relieved, and he fought with the red-tailed squirrel for control of the tail with peace of mind, and had a lot of fun.

The red-tailed squirrel flickered and moved flexibly, and the last time it was caught by Yun Chong was purely accidental. Although Yun Zhong was not inferior to it in the slightest, he couldn't catch it for a while. Suddenly, the red-tailed squirrel stopped, and Yunzhong took the opportunity to grab its tail, but the red-tailed squirrel did not resist at all. Yun Chong saw that he had caught its tail, but it didn't react, and felt very bored, so he reached out and patted its head, signaling it to start over.

The red-tailed squirrel pointed not far away and squeaked. Yun Zhong looked in the direction of his finger, and a familiar figure appeared in front of him, who else would there be if it wasn't his father Yun Qing?

Yun Qing hurriedly ran to the destination, and when he saw that it was his son Yun Chong, he was very excited, and stepped forward to pick up Yun Chong, venting his joy of seeing his son again. Yun Chongze also missed Yun Qing very much, leaning on his arms and not wanting to come out. Suddenly, I felt that someone was tugging at the corner of my clothes, and when I looked down, it turned out to be a red-tailed squirrel. The red-tailed squirrel ignored himself and was dissatisfied when he saw his father again, and squeaked non-stop.

Yun Qing found this squirrel in the morning, and when he saw its puffed appearance, he seemed to be quite human, and he was quite surprised, so he took out a few mountain fruits from his pocket and handed them to it. When the red-tailed squirrel saw that there was a mountain fruit to eat, he was not polite, so he reached out and took it, put it in his mouth and nibbled on it.

Yun Chong also seemed to feel that he had ignored it, and jumped down from Yun Qing's arms, ignoring Yun Qing's serious surprise when he saw him jump down so calmly, walked up to the red-tailed squirrel, picked up one of its hands and kept shaking, as if apologizing to it. At first, the red-tailed squirrel was concerned about eating mountain fruits, and ignored Yunzhong's conciliatory attitude. But seeing that he had no intention of stopping, he also felt that he was very sincere, and his heart was also very happy, so he handed him a mountain fruit. Yun Zhong didn't take the mountain fruit, opened his mouth to signal that his teeth couldn't gnaw on such a hard mountain fruit, and pushed the mountain fruit back to it.

Looking at Yun Zhong and the red-tailed squirrel in front of him, Yun Qing smiled slightly, and felt a little surprised. Unexpectedly, his son became friends with the squirrel. And he jumped from his arms just now and was not injured, which also surprised Yun Qing. Seeing that it was getting late, he beckoned and said, "Chong'er, let's go down the mountain." Your mother must have been in a hurry by now. ”

Yun Chong saw that he was leaving, and pointed to the red-tailed squirrel at Yun Qing, signaling him to take it back with him.

Yun Qing also felt guilty that he hadn't caught a deer, and seeing that he was having a good time with this squirrel, he felt a little better, and he didn't want to agree immediately.

Seeing that Yun Qing agreed, Yun Zhong happily jumped on the back of the red-tailed squirrel and followed Yun Qing down the mountain. The red-tailed squirrel also likes to be with Yun Chong, and naturally he will not let go of such an opportunity, and walks down the mountain in high spirits.

Along the way, the red-tailed squirrel carried Yunzhong to go here and there for a while, picking some pine cones and mushrooms for a while. Yun Qing didn't know where all the beasts in the vicinity had gone, but there were no threatening animals nearby, which also reassured him to let the red-tailed squirrel take him around. After a while, the basket used to make the cradle of Yunzhong was full of special products from the mountain, and there were even some things that Yunqing had never seen, but he had heard the elders say it before.

By the time we reached the corner of the mountain, it was completely dark, as if an endless black cloth had covered the sky. In the distance, Yun Qing heard someone saying, "Sister-in-law, go back." I'll just go up the mountain alone. Don't worry, Brother Yun has gone back and forth on this mountain thousands of times and nothing has happened, and this time it will definitely not be. ”

It turned out that Li Fu had been worried when she saw that Yunqing had not come back with her son Yunzhong so late. In the end, I couldn't wait any longer, so I went to find Chu Yun, who lived in the north of the village, to find a way.

Chu Yun heard that Yunqing had been to Qingyun Mountain for so long, and he also felt that something might have happened, so he hurriedly called his wife Huiniang to chat with Li Fu to distract her attention, so that she would not be so worried, and he took an iron fork and went in the direction of Qingyun Mountain. Helplessly, although Qingyun Mountain is right in front of you, but in the entire village, only Yunqing (Yunzhong was brought in by Yunqing, don't count) can go in, and the others either walked out again after turning around in it, or fainted, and when they wanted to come, they didn't remember the situation in the mountain.

In the past, Yun Qing also said that he would take Chu Yun into the mountain, saying that there were a lot of medicinal materials in it. But Chu Yun is the only doctor in this ten miles radius, and he has not been unable to spare time. This time, he didn't even know the way into the mountain to save people, so he had to let Li Fu come with him.

In fact, Li Fu didn't seem to let Chu Yun enter the mountain. Yun Qing once told her that their Yun family had an ancestral motto that they couldn't take anyone up the mountain except their own man, otherwise they would die. Li Fu saw that although other people couldn't enter the mountain, the people who had tried to enter the mountain didn't do much, and he was a little suspicious of this Yun family's ancestral teaching, but Yun Qing said that since the ancestor left this ancestral training, there must be his reasons.

Today, she saw that Yun Qing and Yun Chong had no news so late, so she was in a hurry, so she went to find Chu Yun. didn't think about it, as soon as Chu Yun heard it, he immediately said that he was going to go into the mountain to find Yunqing's father and son. Although Li Fu repeatedly blocked it, Chu Yun still did not give up the idea of this idea. Li Fu thought that Yunqing's father and son might be in danger, and now they were waiting for someone to come to the rescue, although they were reluctant, and seeing that Chu Yun was so resolute, he agreed.

"Yes, sister-in-law, let's go back first. Brother Yun should be fine. Hui Niang on the side persuaded.

Li Fu knew that Hui Niang usually never lies, Chu Yun just said, "There will definitely be nothing wrong", but Hui Niang said, "It shouldn't be", and said in her heart, it seems that this time she can only ask the ancestors of the Yun family for protection.

Chu Yun is a scholar, he can't pick his shoulders or hands, and Yun Qing usually takes the initiative to help him do some heavy work. Although most of the scholars were a little arrogant, Chu Yun was still a little hesitant to go to the mysterious Qingyun Mountain alone. But remembering that he and Yunqing grew up together since childhood, Yunqing helped him every time, and he was the one who was helped. Although the two are not brothers, the relationship they only see far exceeds that of their own brothers. He also felt that Yun Qing was in trouble this time, so he couldn't back down.

Chu Yun waved his hand to Li Fu and Hui Niang again, signaling them to hurry back, while he walked in the direction of Qingyun Mountain. Just after walking a few steps, suddenly a furry animal appeared in front of me. Chu Yun panicked in his heart, and smoothly forked the iron fork towards the strange-looking thing in front of him. Unexpectedly, the speed of the monster's dodge was quite fast, and it disappeared with a "rub". Chu Yun was just about to look around for the monster, when he suddenly heard a crisp but a little eerie "giggle" laughter.

Chu Yun shouted, "What person?"

What returned to him was a deep male voice, "Is it Brother Chu, I'm Yunqing." Through the flickering firelight, Chu Yun saw that the person who came was really Yunqing.

Chu Yun ran to Yun Qing, looked at it carefully, and then turned to Li Fu, who was still standing not far away, and said, "Sister-in-law, Brother Yun is back." ”

As soon as Li Fu heard that Yun Qing was back, she hurriedly ran over, looked at Yun Qing with teary eyes, opened her mouth, and didn't say a word.

Chu Yun looked behind Yun Qing and asked suspiciously, "Sister-in-law said that you took this Yun Chong's nephew up the mountain together, why did you come back alone." ”

At this time, Li Fu also noticed that there was no Yunzhong.

Chu Yun smiled: "A squirrel with a heavy burden on his back has returned. After speaking, he pointed to the back of Chu Yun and the others, and said, "Don't you think that's Chong'er?"

Chu Yun turned around and suddenly exclaimed "ah". It turned out that Yun Zhong was riding the monster he had just seen. Actually, it's no wonder Chu Yun. He studied medicine with his father since he was a child, and he had never seen a squirrel at all. In his impression, the squirrel in front of him was clearly an enlarged version of the mouse.

Hearing Chu Yun's scream, Yun Chong, who was riding on the back of a red-tailed squirrel, chuckled. At this time, Chu Yun knew that the laughter he had just heard was the masterpiece of his little nephew.

Seeing that Chu Yun was frightened by the squirrel's face in front of him, Hui Niang smiled and said, "A squirrel scares you like this." Just now, he still had the tragic appearance of 'the strong man is gone', but at this time, he has become a rat gall. "Hui Niang's father is the daughter of a butcher in the village, although she has studied for a few years and knows a lot of etiquette, but her personality is bold and open-minded. Seeing Chu Yun's appearance, he couldn't help but want to laugh at him.

Li Fu saw that her husband and son had all come back safely, and her heart was also a lot calmer, thinking that Yunqing and their father and son should not have eaten yet, and saw a few rabbits and pheasants on Yunqing's body, so she said, "Let's go back quickly." Later, I'll make a few appetizers with Hui Niang, let's have a good chat, what do you say?"
