Chapter 1: The Mountain Boys

Next Chapter

The heavens and all the worlds are vast, the strong make the rules, the weak obey the rules, and a continent is just a small speck of dust in this vast star, floating in this chaotic world.

The Nine Realms Continent, one realm and one floating platform, resembles a broken funnel, because a white wave of the heavenly river runs through the entire Nine Realms Continent from top to bottom, no one knows where this endless river will flow in the end, no one knows, some people say that along this river water can start to the netherworld.

In the bitter cold land of the extreme north of Youzhou, the lowest level of the mainland, there is a small city, which belongs to the remote mountainous area, which is relatively desolate, and Yejia Village, which is 500 miles west of the city, is one of the most marginal villages, covering an area of hundreds of miles and more than 300 households.

The village is not rich, most of the households here are surnamed Ye, hunting and farming for a living, and it can be regarded as a simple folk custom.

In the village, the roads are staggered, the houses are scattered and stand on the side, and the front yards of every household are some of the ordinary brute beasts, and the smoke of the houses is a peaceful scene.

In the very center of the village is a square, where the whole village gathers, and a chic courtyard stands on the side of the square, which is the house of the village chief.

In a martial arts world, such a featureless village is inconspicuous, and it can even be said that it suddenly disappeared that day, and it will not be noticed, which will also allow the people of this side to enjoy peace in this cultivation world.

Behind the village, there is a big mountain with clouds and mist, a clear stream winds down the mountain, the smooth pebbles under the stream are clearly visible, the high mountain flowing clouds are reflected in it, a group of fish do swim in the water, a gust of wind blows, the clear and agile water waves swirl out from his slender fingers, the scales and light spots, flickering in it.

A small beast the size of a cat sits on a stone next to the stream, staring down intently at the fish in the water, its little head swaying from side to side, its eyes shining with a bright light, as if thinking about its life events......

I want to catch fish to eat, but it seems to hate water.

The kitten turned around and put its little tail into the water, and as soon as the tail entered the water, the little beast trembled, but in order to eat the fish, it still stretched its tail into the water, and the tip of the tail was still bending and bending.

Not only were the fish not fooled, but they also swam around their tails, and the angry little beasts gritted their teeth and muttered in their mouths.

"Hahaha...... Don't you think a fish will be so stupid that you can't tell what a bug is?" A loud laugh came from the side, and a teenager walked over from the woods beside him.

The little beast, which was very annoyed, heard the voice, and immediately changed to an aggrieved expression, jumped to the side of the visitor in a few jumps, and rubbed his head affectionately against the trouser leg of the visitor, and kept "humming and chirping", and the poor little paw pointed at the fish in the water, and pointed to his belly, as if complaining to the visitor about the evil behavior of the fish.

"Okay, okay, little glutton, I've only been hungry for two hours. The visitor shook his head and looked at the place where the little beast was squatting just now, and there were a few fish bones next to it, the fish bones had been shaved to a bright light, and there was not even a trace of flesh, which showed that it was skilled.

"Go and play, I'll get you a few more fish, and we'll go back too." ”

"Hum Hum ......Hum Hum T

The little beast screamed happily and jumped around, followed the boy and ran to the stream, wagging his tail and looking at the boy, and kept scratching his little mouth with his front paws, as if to clean before the meal.

The boy skillfully played with the bait, rolled up his trousers, walked down the stream, and scattered the bait in the encircled pile of stones, raised his right hand slightly, and stared at the place where the bait was sprinkled in the water.

The sun swayed on the young man's body, the breeze tilted, the slightest blow of the stream, slightly driving the young man's sideburns, what a handsome young man.

On the thin body, the face is white, and the face with clear water chestnuts is handsome and abnormal, and he looks well-behaved, but the light in his eyes is inadvertently revealed, and he does not dare to underestimate it, and he inadvertently looks at that trace of demonity. The tall nose and the moderately thick red lips have a dizzying smile at this time. Dressed in green clothes, simple and clean, the old clothes are plain and white, and the young man is a few years old, which makes him look more simple at this moment.

I saw a few fish swimming to the waters where the bait was sprinkled, the young man's right hand exerted force, hmph ~ the harpoon directly forked the fish body, the harpoon picked, the fish threw a parabola in the air and landed on the shore, and the little beast on the side immediately ran to the place where the fish landed.

It wasn't until the boy then forked three more fish that he came ashore, and the little beast ran to the boy for the first time, and ran around affectionately to spread joy.

"Whew~ Okay, okay, I'll take a break, I'll grill the fish for you, I just picked a few salt fruits and clove horns in the forest. The young man said with a pale face, and slowly sat aside, and the little beast ran to guard his fish.

"Alas, when my body moves a little, I can't breathe. Grandpa said that insisting on going to the top of the mountain every day to drink rootless water can be cured, is it comforting me? Today, I am only a hundred zhang away, and I can get the root of the dragon's beard, and when the time comes, the medicine garden will have one more medicine for my mother, so it can be regarded as the only thing that my useless body can do. The boy felt it.

When the boy was about to be born, his mother was bleeding profusely, losing both qi and blood, and was forced to give birth to him early, almost killing two corpses. Later, it was only after the whole village was mobilized to climb the mountains within a radius of 100 miles that he found the first-order spirit grass and barely saved his life.

The teenager is also congenitally deficient because of this, and he has been a disease since he was a child.

As an ordinary person, he began to insist on climbing the mountain every day to take care of the medicine garden year after year at the age of 4, although he didn't know what the effect of drinking rootless water was, years of persistence have also created a stubborn and even paranoid character of the teenager.

"Hum, hum, ......" The small urging voice made the young man's thoughts turn back.

"I'm really scared of you, little one. The boy fetched dry wood to roast the fish.

Two months ago, the boy and the little beast went down the mountain as usual, passing halfway up the hillside, and saw the little beast lying dying on the side of the road, a deep wound that could be seen almost throughout the body, and blood was dripping.

The little beast's eyes were full of despair, who knew that the people who came did not hurt it, and fed it with the rootless water brought down from the top of the mountain, and then took the little beast back to the village for treatment, and every day when he went up the mountain, he would go to pick herbs and catch a few fish to go back to make soup to restore the vitality of the little beast.

After a few days, the little beast miraculously got better, and it didn't leave a scar, and the boy wondered about the hair that was all over the little beast's body.

Since then, every day when he goes up the mountain, this ordinary boy will follow a small dot behind him, at least every time he arrives at the place where the boy is fishing, he can't move his little arms and short legs, and the stream has become a place for him to squat.

"I really don't know where you put everything you eat, and I haven't seen you grow in two months. The boy wondered.

The boy took the trouble to roast two fish for Xiao Budian, and then put the extra fish in the back basket and said:

"I'm worried that the fish in this stream will not be enough for you for a year. The boy said, looking at the stream.

"Hum, hum......" the little beast nodded as it ate.

After a while, after the grilled fish is added with salt fruit and clove wedges, the aroma suddenly wafts out. Xiao Budian couldn't help but wrap his front paws around his mouth, and Harazi swirled in his mouth.

"Well, let's eat. I'm going to pack my things, and my mother will be worried if I'm late. ”

"Hum Hum ......Hum Hum T

The boy didn't look over his head, as if he didn't want to see this food, because he was too uneaten, and he wasn't afraid of being hot, so he narrowed his eyes into a slit, and his buttocks were high, swaying left and right to facilitate the rhythm of eating fish.

"Alas, this must be a miserable child who has been hungry for a long time, and has to eat four or five fish a day. ”

"Hum ......"

Xiao Bu didn't sell the protest twice, and then continued to eat the fish with a puff, making a crunchy sound from time to time to bite the fish bones.

After a while, Xiao Bu jumped on the young man's shoulder after eating, first rubbed a few times on the young man's clothes, wiped a few times with a few paws and face, and then raised his round face and rubbed it on the young man's face affectionately. Then he jumped into the boy's arms, put his head out, put himself in a position that he might find comfortable, and lay down.

Xiao Budian basked in the sun through his clothes, basked his back for a while, and turned over to dry his belly. Twisted his body and shaved a few short claws. Finding that he was too fat to turn it back, he snorted, and coquettishly hoped that the boy could help him.

......

"Huh...... Hum ......"

As if to say that I was clean, the boy's face twitched.

Because this is not the first time that this little man has done this, since he has recovered from his injury, he has taken it up the mountain, and since then he has followed it pitifully, and put it in his arms, and since then it has become the second den of Xiao Budian, and of course the first is a fishing spot by the stream.

"Let's go, go home......" The young man put on his basket and hat and walked down the mountain.
