Cangqing Mountain, Jade Shoot Peak.

It was a sunny afternoon, and the entire Jade Shoot Peak was surrounded by silence, and the soft light sprinkled down lightly, making the air also have a bit of a lazy atmosphere, and everything seemed to be lazy.

Xiao Jiu stood on one leg, bent his neck, stuck his head in his back feathers, and rested outside the window.

Sunlight shone in through the carved window lattice, spilling on the bluestone floor of the room, and next to it, a girl in an ice blue silk dress was lying on the table, with a pair of big watery eyes, looking intently ahead, a slender finger playing with a bamboo dragonfly in front of her.

All the joy and laughter seemed to be echoing in her ears, but the reality was a huge peak, and at this time she was the only one left, she gently picked up the bamboo dragonfly, held it up to the sun, squinted her eyes, and imagined it flying in the sky.

She saw the bamboo dragonfly flying up the bamboo forest, flying on the white clouds, flying into the blue sky, and also flying through her heart, leaving an indelible trace.

I don't know what makes her say goodbye to the ignorance of her childhood, and she takes root hazy in her heart. She found herself sensitive lately, and any fluctuations around her would make her uneasy. She will giggle by herself, and she will be sad by herself, as if she is full of longing for every moment of the future.

She savored it carefully, it was as beautiful and cheerful as a musical note, as gorgeous and pure as a snowflake, and as green and unforgettable as a lemon.

She seems to have become weak for no reason, always hoping to be cared for and always be with her.

She was bored and fiddled with the bamboo dragonfly for a while, then stood up, walked out of the house lazily, and suddenly saw Xiao Jiu who was sleeping on one leg, her eyes rolled, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, so she tiptoed around and walked back to the room, carried a bucket of water, secretly put it at Xiao Jiu's raised feet, turned around and walked a few steps to the side, and suddenly shouted: "Xiao Jiu, get up quickly." ”

The voice was sweet, but it was deafening, so scared that Xiao Jiu woke up, put down his feet in a panic, suddenly felt cold, startled, and wanted to fly, but when he saw Chu Qing in front of him who was smiling forward and backwards, he seemed to understand a little, and when he looked down, he stepped on a wooden bucket filled with water, and knew that it was a prank.

Instead of being angry, Xiao Jiu flapped his wings lightly and chirped a few times in a low voice, as if he was also laughing with Chu Qing, and the sound of joy wafted on the top of the mountain.

After laughing, Chu Qing said, "Xiao Jiu, why are you sleeping here and not going out?"

Xiao Jiu let out a low sound twice, but Chu Qing didn't understand what it meant.

Chu Qing said again: "Where did Big Brother Feng go?" do you know?"

Xiao Jiu rolled his eyes and thought about it, but this time he shook his head.

Chu Qing nununed his mouth unhappily, and didn't ask any more questions, but turned around and walked a few steps towards the edge of the cliff, raising his eyes to look around, but seeing that the mountains were reckless, as if there were thousands of weights, he actually felt like he was being besieged, and suddenly felt as if something was missing.

She stood there quietly, feeling that the only thing that accompanied her was the big crane that could not speak and the "rustling" bamboo forest.

Suddenly, she turned around and said with a smile, "Xiao Jiu, let's go take a walk around the surrounding mountains." ”

Xiao Jiu was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, nodded again, and then turned around, turned his back to Chu Qing, and lay on the ground.

Chu Qing looked at it, his eyebrows were overjoyed, and he clapped his hands again and again, because he had the experience of riding a crane at the peak of "Mo Yan" last time, this time he was also familiar with the road, so he jumped on the back of the crane, hugged his neck, and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiu, let's go." ”

Xiao Jiu shook his body slightly, and felt that Chu Qing was already in prison, so he stood up with a low roar, and slowly walked forward a few steps, his huge wings waved hard, and he went straight into the sky.

Although it was the second time to ride a crane, Chu Qing was still a little nervous, grabbed Ling Yu tightly, looked back, and saw that the Jade Shoot Peak was gradually moving away, and the house of Jinsi Xiaozhu was getting smaller and smaller. Suddenly, there was a white in front of me, and a white piece actually flew into the thick clouds, but I saw the clouds around me, and I couldn't see anything anymore, and the wind was howling in my ears, and my face hurt.

Chu Qing's body trembled slightly, half nervous, half excited, the boredom and sleepiness when he was on the ground just now had already been thrown out of the clouds.

The white clouds are like waves, rushing towards you layer by layer, feeling the vastness of the sea of clouds at the same time, the mood is more cheerful.

I don't know how long it flew, just as Chu Qing's mood slowly calmed down. Suddenly, Xiao Jiu let out a high sigh and rushed out of the sea of clouds with her, and there was suddenly only blue infinity between heaven and earth, such as hanging upside down in the deep sea, the blue was almost pure, boundless, and magnificent.

Nervous and excited, it was a great miracle and surprise, an impulse of excitement, prompting Chu Qing to let go of his hand and shout with his arms outstretched.

After rushing out of the sea of clouds, Xiao Jiu adjusted his flight speed, flattened his body, and began to fly steadily, reckless mountains, winding rivers, and taking in the panoramic view, Chu Qing rode on the back of the crane, enjoying the infinite beauty under his feet.

After flying for about a cup of tea, in the distance, a low mountain peak seemed to arouse Xiao Jiu's interest, and whispered softly to Chu Qing, as if to give an early warning, and then gathered his wings and plummeted down, as fast as an arrow from the string.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the mountain peak, Chu Qing saw a golden color on the crane's back, flashed on a three-foot-tall tree, and was grabbed by Xiao Jiu's steel claws, thrown hard, and thrown to the ground.

Xiao Jiu landed on his feet, put down Chu Qing, and let out a high-pitched roar, the sound shook the peaks, like a warrior charging in front of the battle, and let out a roar.

Chu Qing fixed his eyes and saw that not far ahead, a golden cobra was holding its upper body high, "hissing" and spitting out the letter, concentrating on a crane and a person.

Chu Qing immediately came to his senses, Xiao Jiu was catching the snake again, presumably he was trapped in the "Mo Yan" peak that day, and it was also because of the big green snake that Xiao Jiu was attracted.

The golden cobra seemed to be secretly surprised, how could this crane in front of him be so tall, it was more than nine feet. After a moment of confrontation, the golden cobra hesitated, trying to flee, sometimes raising its upper body, sometimes pounced and retreated.

Seeing this, Xiao Jiu's golden eyes flashed, and the giant wings waved vigorously, rolling up a strong wind, and suddenly rolled up the sand and stones, and his eyes were charming. Then, with the help of the wind, with a high roar, it rushed straight over.

The golden cobra didn't have time to react, and its head was hit with an iron beak, and blood splattered everywhere, and its brain burst to death.

Xiao Jiu didn't let it go, but pecked at the slightly trembling and curly snake body, took out the snake gall bladder after finding the right position, swallowed it with a tilt of his neck, turned around, and whispered to the stunned Chu Qing, stretched his neck, shook it twice, and motioned to look behind her.

Chu Qing understood paradoxically, and slowly turned around, it turned out that there was a three-foot-tall tree behind him, although the tree was not tall, but it was very peculiar, and it could not see the main pole, but it was luxuriant, and the leaves on the branches and leaves were like small snakes, twisting and turning, and at the top of the branches, there were golden fruits, the size was like a dragon's eye, and it was oval.

Chu Qing looked at it for a while, pointed to the tree, turned his head to Xiao Jiu and said, "Xiao Jiu, do you want me to pick these fruits?"

Xiao Jiu nodded, walked to Chu Qing's side, and chirped in a low voice.

Chu Qing stepped forward, came to the branch, stretched out his hand to pick a few fruits, held them in his hand and looked at them, only to see that the skin of the fruit was golden yellow, transparent, and the inner veins were clearly visible.

Chu Qing was eating the wild fruit, happy in her heart, and wanted to pick a few more, but suddenly remembered that she was in a hurry, and did not bring any wrapping blankets.

As soon as he turned around, he found the mountain flowers and wild grasses next to the rocks, and remembered that when he was a child, his mother used wild grass to weave a basket to carry herself, and also used mountain flowers to weave a wreath around her neck, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she turned around and said: "Xiao Jiu, I will give you a beautiful thing in a while." ”

After speaking, he walked up, plucked a lot of mountain flowers and weeds, and first made a wreath with mountain flowers, red, pink, blue, yellow, all kinds of flowers were intertwined, which was very beautiful, and then summoned Xiao Jiu to go over and put the wreath on Xiao Jiu's neck.

Xiao Jiu also liked it very much, and for a while, one person and one crane were so happy that they shouted and jumped.

Later, Chu Qing made a basket with weeds, this basket is no more complex than a garland, the workmanship is much more complicated, after several transformations, it finally succeeded, although it can not be compared with the mother's knitting back then, but after all, it can be loaded with things, and I am slightly satisfied with the relief.

Chu Qing carried the basket and picked a basket full of wild fruits, and looked up into the distance at this time, but when he saw that the sun was falling in the west and it was getting late, he said to Xiao Jiu again: "These wild fruits are enough to eat for a few days Xiao Jiu, let's go back quickly, maybe Big Brother Feng has come back." ”

Xiao Jiu nodded, let out a low roar, picked up Chu Qing again, reflected the sunset, and flew back towards the Jade Shoot Peak.

In a moment, the Jade Shoot Peak had appeared in front of him, and Chu Qing saw in the air that the doors and windows of Jinsi Xiaozhu were closed, and it was pitch black, knowing that Feng Shuzhu had not returned, and felt a little disappointed.

After slowly landing, Chu Qing was afraid that the wild fruits would corrode the earth's qi and rot, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was appropriate to let go to the sinkhole in the back mountain, so he turned his head and said, "Xiao Jiu, I want to go to the sinkhole to meditate, and if you have something, go to the back mountain to find me." Seeing that Xiao Jiu nodded in agreement, he walked around the house by himself, walked through the bamboo forest, and came to the sinkhole in the back mountain.

At this time, the night is getting deeper, the moonlight is like water, pouring down from the stone crack on the top of the cave, the sinkhole is bathed in a peaceful clear light, the basket of wild fruits, glowing with golden light, reflecting the girl's white face, Chu Qing counted out five more and put them on the stone bed for dinner, and the rest was put next to the water urn on the inside of the stone bed along with the basket.

Turning around, Chu Qing opened his eyes wide, curiously looking at the wild fruits on the stone bed that seemed to be particularly crystal clear, thinking that this green mountain was really peculiar, he had met demons here, strayed into the underground palace, and now he picked such a peculiar wild fruit, of course, the most important thing is to meet the big brother Feng Shuzhu here, when he thought of the big brother Feng Shuzhu, a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face, and naturally he remembered the big brother's advice to practice diligently, so he casually put the wild fruit on the side of the stone bed against the hole entrance, and then "passed" The word wall, seriously sitting.

Not long after Chu Qing sat down, his thinking and consciousness gradually blurred, as if he was about to enter that illusion state again, but suddenly there was a sound in his ears, as if someone had walked into the cave, he thought to himself that it should be Xiao Jiu, maybe he didn't worry about himself, he came over and took a look, so he didn't pay attention to it, but continued to meditate. But just as he was about to enter the illusion, there was a sound of "purring" in his ears, as if there was a little wild cat sleeping beside him.

Chu Qing felt surprised, vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he opened his eyes suddenly, turned his head to look over, but found nothing, at the moment when he retracted his gaze, he unconsciously let out a "huh" surprise in his mouth, and suddenly saw that there were only three wild fruits left on the stone bed, and he clearly remembered that he had put five of them, could it be that this wild fruit would run away by itself?

Chu Qing stood up and searched the stone bed, inside the stone cave, and around the outside of the stone cave, but there was no trace of it, and he couldn't help but wonder even more, could it be that Xiao Jiu was joking with himself? Thinking of this, he took the basket and the remaining three wild fruits, and turned back to the front of the house, only to see Xiao Jiu standing on one leg and sleeping soundly, so he woke up Xiao Jiu and said, "Xiao Jiu, have you been to the back mountain?"

Xiao Jiu was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said no.

Chu Qing vaguely felt that Xiao Jiu's demeanor was indeed credible, but he still asked unwillingly, "Didn't you take my wild fruit?"

Xiao Jiu was stunned for a moment, stretched his neck at Chu Qing's hand, and signaled that the wild fruit was not in your hand.

Chu Qing frowned slightly and said, "I remember that there were five wild fruits on the stone bed, but I don't know why there were two missing. ”

When Xiao Jiu heard this, he seemed to think for a moment, shook his head again, and stretched out his crane neck and chirped loudly.

Chu Qing immediately thought that Xiao Jiu was a snake eater, and it was useless to take this wild fruit, so she was even more puzzled, and she had no interest in going to the back mountain to meditate, so she carried the basket and walked back to the room, but she didn't notice that in the corner behind the house, there was a small black shadow, and when she heard Xiao Jiu's high-pitched crane chirping, she was so frightened that she ran away.

Chu Qing returned to the room with doubts, and his eyes fell on the wild fruits in his hand again, at this time the night was deep, the bright moon pierced through the window, and the soft moonlight sprinkled down lightly, covering the whole room with a veil of mystery, like a dream, and those wild fruits were shining with golden brilliance, which was very beautiful.

Chu Qing's heart moved, she lifted the basket and held it in front of her, her mouth widened, only to see that the wild fruits in the basket were all glowing with golden brilliance, and the grass basket at this time was like a cornucopia. Then he had an idea, and he had a magical idea, so he took out the wild fruits in the basket one by one, placed them on the table in order, and after a while, he formed a heart-shaped, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, nodded, and put his ten fingers on his chest, as if he was extremely satisfied with his "masterpiece".

On such a wonderful moonlit night, a girl's innocent heart, glowing with golden brilliance, seems to remember the dearest and most loved person, and perhaps also remembering the person she wants to see the most.

Outside the window, the mountain breeze blew gently, sending the sound of "rustling" in the bamboo forest to the ears, like a whisper between lovers, and like a message from the depths of his heart, Chu Qing's watery eyes looked at the "golden heart" in front of him, stunned, stupid.

"Coo", Xiao Jiu's low moan came from outside the window, Chu Qing came back to his senses, listened attentively for a while, and didn't see any movement, then he smiled heartily, thinking that it was Xiao Jiu's "babbling", but now it made himself who had been wandering for a long time, and remembered the "purring" sound in the sinkhole, he obviously heard the sound of a kitten sleeping, why didn't he see anything? Could it be that this wild fruit itself can't change? Thinking of this, he suddenly had another idea, so he crept to the bed, covered the quilt tightly, and only exposed a small slit, hiding inside to secretly monitor the wild fruit on the table.

But how did she know that she was still highly focused at the beginning, but as the moon shadow tilted, her consciousness gradually blurred. After a long night, it was hard to bear it, and sleepiness struck, and I dozed off a few times, but I cheered up and continued to open my eyes, but in the end I accidentally fell asleep.

This awakening is already the third pole of the sun, Chu Qing rubbed his eyes, saw that the sky outside the window was already bright and dazzling, his eyes accidentally fell on the table, seeing the yellow and clear wild fruits, he suddenly remembered his priorities last night, quickly jumped out of bed, came to the table, and carefully looked at the wild fruits in the shape of "heart" on the table, as well as the remaining wild fruits in the basket, which seemed to be missing. With doubts, Chu Qing simply freshened up, ate a few wild fruits, and carefully counted out five, put the rest back in the basket, took the wild fruits to the outside of the house, searched for a long time, and saw no trace of Xiao Jiu, thinking that he must have gone out to catch snakes again, so he didn't pay attention to it, but walked to the sinkhole alone.

When he walked to the edge of the bamboo forest next to the entrance of the cave, Chu Qing inadvertently found some yellow peels, his heart moved, he squatted down, picked it up in his hand and looked at it, and his eyes suddenly widened, this is the skin of the wild fruit he picked back, and after careful observation, he found that there were still some footprints on the dirt ground, shaped like paw prints, and he measured it with his own hand, but it was not the size of his palm.

At this time, Chu Qing naturally figured out everything, what kind of little animal stole his wild fruit, when he searched near the entrance of the cave last night, it must have hidden in this grass, so it was not cunning, and it actually spit out the skin when eating the wild fruit, and when he ate it, he washed it and swallowed it whole, the more he thought about it, the more angry he was in his heart, and secretly said I will definitely catch you. So he walked into the sinkhole again, and placed the wild fruits on the edge of the stone bed in turn, and sat up and sat down like Qiao, but secretly pricked up his ears, and paid great attention to the wind and grass around him, but an hour passed, and in addition to the sound of "ding dong, ding dong" spring water, the "purring, purring" sound that made him yearn for never appeared.

Maybe the little animal ran away last night when it was full, he really wasted his efforts, thinking of this, Chu Qing couldn't help but sigh, turned his head to look out of the cave, it didn't matter what he saw, he was actually surprised, why were there two less wild fruits!

Chu Qing hurriedly turned around and counted carefully, there were indeed only three wild fruits left, Chu Qing hurriedly jumped off the stone bed, looked around, and sure enough, he saw the peel in the grass near the stone cave, obviously not long after eating, and the paw print disappeared from the dirt to the bluestone road.

A feeling of being teased rose in my heart, but I also blamed myself for being so stupid as to listen with my ears and not with my eyes! This little creature is so cunning, more cunning than us foxes, I must catch it. When Chu Qing thought of this, he felt that it was feasible to make a careful plan. After thinking about it again, I couldn't help but think of when I was young, my mother told me that hunters made traps for catching foxes, but they couldn't do animal traps, and they were too cruel, and they were creepy to think about, and they really felt inappropriate, so they continued to think of a way, and suddenly thought that their mother also mentioned a rope trap, and also did a demonstration, only need a rope, branches, etc., and it will not hurt small animals.

Pay attention, Chu Qing happily ran back to the house, searched for a long time, and finally found a hemp rope, then happily took the rope to the sinkhole, while walking with knots, when he walked to the bamboo forest outside the sinkhole, he remembered to make a rope trap, and he needed to tie the other end of the rope sleeve to a firm tree, so he looked for a thicker bamboo, tied the rope, and then stretched the rope sleeve and placed it in the grass, and tried it with his hands, and gently pulled, the rope sleeve was really tightened, everything was ready, just waiting for the "fish" Hooked, Chu Qing smiled with satisfaction. The next step was to place the bait, and without thinking about it, the bait was the yellow and clear wild fruit, and only then did I suddenly remember that I had forgotten the remaining three wild fruits in the sinkhole.

An ominous premonition struck, Chu Qing ran over quickly, thinking that at this time he should see the sunlight shining lightly from the sky on the top of the cave, and the entire sinkhole was bathed in soft sunlight, but the fact was that at the entrance of the sinkhole, a gray-brown, about a foot tall, short and stocky little animal, to be exact, should be a miniature version of the bear, standing upright, each with two front paws holding a wild fruit, with surprised eyes, looked at Chu Qing, and they were both stunned at that time.

"You steal my wild fruit. Perhaps because of excitement or anger, Chu Qing actually said something to the "little fat bear", and after listening to it, the little animal looked down at his left and right "hands", and actually made a move that made Chu Qing open his mouth wide, and the "little fat bear" put the wild fruit in his belly pocket.

Chu Qing suddenly felt extremely magical, and was instantly stunned, and said with some excitement and excitement: "Hey, you, why do you have a pocket on your belly?"

The "little fat bear" didn't make any answer, but took advantage of Chu Qing's stunned moment, put down his front paws, spread his hands and feet, and actually fled towards the bamboo forest like a smoke.

Chu Qing was stunned for a moment, only to realize that the "little bear" was about to run, so he pulled out his legs and followed closely and chased after him.

The "little fat bear" was very smart, and seemed to know that he was short and fat, and that he was slow, so he did not go to the open field, but in this bamboo forest, bending and running forward.

Chu Qing chased after him, while keeping an eye on the figure of the "little fat bear", he had to beware of the oncoming bamboo, which was very troublesome, so he couldn't run fast.

One person and one "little fat bear", just chased after it in such a hurry, chasing it for a long time, Chu Qing thought that he was afraid that he would never be able to catch it if he continued like this, so he had an idea, and after his body stood still, he suddenly spun up quickly, turning into a whirlwind and rising into the air, rushing straight to the "little fat bear".

When the "little fat bear" turned around, he suddenly saw Chu Qing turn into a whirlwind, opened his mouth wide, and seemed to be extremely surprised, but when he saw the whirlwind coming towards him, he escaped from the bamboo forest in a panic, and fled along the stone road in the direction of the "Moon Sea" on the right side of the house.

The "Moon Sea" was originally a boulder stretching out of the peak, descending to the abyss, the surface of the boulder was flat and smooth, the "little fat bear" panicked, fled up, couldn't contain the short and fat body for a while, and was about to fall off the cliff, broken bones.

Chu Qing looked at it in his eyes from behind, his heart was anxious, he appeared in human form, his face was discolored, and he shouted in a lost voice: "Be careful!" Subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to pull the "little fat bear".

Between the electric light and flint, I saw a light fly out of my wrist, facing the front of the "little fat bear", forming a wall of light, "little fat bear" slammed into the light wall, "bang", was bounced back, four feet to the sky, lying on the boulder, only a few times to shake the head, as if being dizzy.

Chu Qing looked at it calmly, it was actually a wall of light emitted by Finger Wrapper, and his heart suddenly understood, in his own hurry, he pulled Finger Wrap Rou again, it seemed that the "little fat bear" hit it not lightly, but after all, it was not in danger of life, and he was relieved.

The "little fat bear" stood up, looked at Chu Qing, and looked at the glowing wall of light behind him, as if he understood that Chu Qing had saved his life, and after a while, he took out two wild fruits from the pocket on his belly with his paws, grinned, held them with his paws, and held them in front of Chu Qing, as if he wanted to return the wild fruits, which looked extremely cute.

Chu Qing looked at the cute appearance of the "little fat bear", he had just experienced such a frightening moment, the anger of being stolen from the wild fruit had already been swept away, although the "little fat bear" stole a few wild fruits from himself, but the sin was not to death, if it was really because of his own pursuit, he would fall into the abyss, he would definitely regret it, thinking of this, Chu Qing smiled and said: "I'll give you this wild fruit, I still have a lot of it." ”

The "little fat bear" showed a surprised expression, then his little eyes rolled, and he put the wild fruit back in his pocket, Chu Qing was suddenly surprised, and said, "Can you understand me?"

Chubby Bear stood upright and nodded.

Seeing this, Chu Qing was immediately overjoyed, and said, "Are you a bear?"

Chubby Bear nodded and then shook his head.

Chu Qing frowned slightly, puzzled, and was about to continue asking, when suddenly, a high-pitched crane chirp came from the sky, and the "little fat bear" was so frightened that he put his paws into his mouth, standing aside and trembling all over.

Chu Qing looked back and saw that Xiao Jiu was back, only to see Xiao Jiu coming over, looking at Chu Qing, and then at the "little fat bear", bowing his head and arching his neck.

Chu Qing instantly understood and said, "Xiao Jiu, this is my new friend, don't hurt it." ”

Xiao Jiu glanced at the "little fat bear", let out a low sound, and then ignored it, but walked to the side step by step.

Chu Qing turned around and saw the scared look of the "little fat bear", laughed out loud, and said, "You come with me"

When the "little fat bear" heard this, he put down his forelimbs, ran quickly to Chu Qing's feet, followed closely behind his legs, and leaned out from time to time to pull his skirt to peek at Xiao Jiu, seeing that Xiao Jiu didn't pay attention to it anymore, but stood alone under the eaves and closed his eyes to recuperate, and the "little fat bear" followed Chu Qing inch by inch and walked down the "Moon Sea".
