There is a mountain village outside Qingshan Town, a few hundred miles away from Jinling City.

There are only a few dozen families in the village, who make a living from farming and hunting.

But no one knows, in the mountains near the village, it is the hermitage of the Qingshan fox clan, where hundreds of large and small fox spirits of the Hu Han clan live, although after the last time Hu Hei and Li Liangjin had a trouble, they were hunted and killed a lot of fox spirits, but after this catastrophe, the Qingshan fox clan recovered again

a calm and peaceful life.

After Hu Lanyu left the capital, he returned to the mountain village alone.

He went out to help Li Xiuyuan this time mainly to repay his kindness, not to seek fame and fortune, and now that the general trend has been decided, he will retire successfully.

"It's been almost a year since I left the mountain. Hu Lanyu looked at Qingshan Village in front of her, and didn't know why she remembered a girl from a peasant family, small.

I remember that when I left that day, this little girl still pestered herself and asked herself to teach her to read and learn words.

He only taught part of the thousand-character essay and then didn't teach it.

Now that a year has passed, I don't know what happened to this girl.

"Maybe she's already married, after all, she's also old enough to get married. Hu Lanyu thought.

Dressed in a green shirt, with a tall posture, long hair and a shawl, handsome like a demon, and with nothing to do, he came to the head of the village.

He looked so out of place when he appeared in Qingshan Village, and the villagers who passed by nearby showed a little fear when they saw him, and they didn't dare to talk, let alone speak.

Perhaps the villagers are already beginning to doubt his identity.

But it doesn't matter.

He is a thousand-year-old fox spirit who has attained the Tao, even if there is a cultivator who slays demons and destroys demons, he can't fight him when he passes by, and he has no harmful measures, and he is even more fearless in his heart.

"Heaven and earth are yellow, the universe is desolate, the sun and the moon are shining, the sun and the moon are shining, the cold comes and the summer comes, the autumn harvest and the winter hide the ......"

Just as Hu Lanyu was passing by the village and was about to go home, he heard three or five naughty children in the village laughing and playing, reading a thousand-character text in their mouths.

When he came to a house, he saw the wall of the courtyard, and the wooden door was carved with stones, and there were thousands of characters on it, and the font was messy and sloppy, and there was no beauty.

Hu Lanyu knocked on the door.

It was an old woman who opened the door.

The old woman's eyes lit up when she saw Hu Lanyu, and she said with some joy: "It's Lanyu, you're finally back." ”

"This time I have been out for a long time, which has worried my mother. Hu Lanyu bowed respectfully.

This old woman is not his biological mother, but his stepmother, who he promised Li Xiuyuan to take care of, in order not to be criticized by the villagers, so he worships this old woman as his stepmother and serves her to support the old and die.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back, you're tired, let's go inside and rest. The old woman treated Hu Lanyu as her own son, and excitedly grabbed his hand and led him into the house to rest.

Hu Lanyu just sat down and said, "Mother, is there a teacher in the village?"

"The village is not the same as before, how can you afford to hire a teacher. The old woman said.

"Why are there naughty children in the village who are reading thousand-character texts? Hu Lanyu said.

The old woman sighed when she heard this, and said, "Where is the teacher teaching, it is taught by Xiaoxiao...... The little boy came almost every day since that day was gone, and she took the book you left for him, and she memorized it all day, and read the thousand-character text, and the people of the village laughed at her. ”

"What are you laughing at her?" said Hu Lanyu.

"Joke that she was bewitched by monsters, learn from others to read and read books, you are afraid you don't know, many people in the village are secretly saying that you are a monster, otherwise how can there be such a handsome son as you in this poor rural ravine. The old woman sighed helplessly while beating her legs

Road.

"Actually, I also know in my heart that what those villagers said may be true, but you are my child, how can I doubt my own child, Xiaoxiao also believes that you are not a monster, so I argue with the villagers every time. ”

Seeing this, Hu Lanyu knelt down to the side and beat the old woman's legs: "Then what about later." ”

Later, after a long time, Xiaoxiao stopped talking, maybe she was also explained by those villagers, but she still came here every day to read and read, but her parents couldn't stand it, half a year ago, the matchmaker wanted her to marry a family in the next village, the child didn't agree, said to wait for you to come back......

I've been waiting for you for more than a month, and when I saw that you hadn't come yet, the people in the village said that you wouldn't come, saying that you were rich outside, how could you fall in love with her, a girl in a poor ravine, and make her die. ”

The little child still didn't believe it, so she had a big quarrel with her parents, and then every day in the village she was looking forward to your return, and then after a long time, she gradually believed that you really wouldn't come back, so she went crazy more than two months ago. ”

Speaking of this, the old woman sighed: "What a good child, why is he crazy, now every day with broken tiles in the village to carve graffiti, the words at the door are carved out by her, and the courtyard walls of other people's houses are almost ......."

She chattered, and Hu Lanyu listened quietly.

He was silent when he heard the back.

Then he said, "Where is she now?"

"Maybe hide somewhere in the village, she's very afraid of adults, she runs when she sees adults, probably because she doesn't want to be caught back to get married, occasionally she will come here to eat, alas, my legs and feet are inconvenient, I chased her several times and couldn't catch her, and the people in the village also avoided her, saying that she was evil,

If you get close to her, you are also easy to be possessed by evil spirits. The old woman said.

"Is that so...... Hu Lanyu stood up and saluted: "Please also ask Mother to sit here first, and I will go to visit the little girl." ”

"Since you came and went to see you, maybe you won't be crazy after seeing you, after all, she is also crazy because of you, if it can get better, bring her back." The old woman said.

"Hmm. Hu Lanyu answered, and then quickly went out.

Somewhere in the village at the moment.

An unkempt-faced, tattered, barefoot, frostbite-covered mad girl walked down the road, her eyes dodging, looking left and right as if she was wary of anyone around her.

While walking, his mouth was still chanting: Heaven and earth are yellow, the universe is desolate, the sun and the moon are shining, and the Chensu column is ......

This is the beginning of a thousand-word essay.

Her hands covered with black mud and frostbite clutched a broken tile tightly, and then she came to a corner and carved it on the ground, writing horizontally and vertically very hard.

"It's you crazy girl again, don't get out of here, get out of here near my door. When a woman from a nearby farmer's house saw Xiaoxiao, she was furious, picked up a broom and hit her.

Xiao Xiao screamed in fright, hugged his head and ran.

After the woman beat her away, she was very angry, and snorted: "It's really unlucky, this crazy girl actually came to my door today." ”

Glancing at the words drawn on the ground, the woman hurriedly stepped on her feet for fear of provoking evil.

"The crazy girl is coming, hit her, hit her. ”

Xiao Xiao ran into the middle of the village in fright, and now the naughty boy in the village saw that he picked up the stones and mud on the ground and threw them at her, and she whined and screamed, and her cloudy eyes were full of fear.

A slightly older naughty boy, very naughty, deliberately picked up a stick and stretched it out at his small feet.

Xiao Xiao immediately tripped and fell to the ground, falling heavily on the mud, and nosebleeds came out.

The other urchins in the neighborhood praised the hands-on kid for his prowes.

The kid looked as triumphant as if he had defeated the bad guys.

Xiao Xiao didn't cry, and after getting up from the ground, he hugged his head and tried to get out of here trembling with fear in his eyes.

The urchins chased after them again, throwing stones and mud, and clapping their hands incessantly.

And this scene was seen by Hu Lanyu who was found.

Hu Lanyu's eyes were complicated, as if he was ashamed and self-reproachful, he strode over without hesitation, and his tall and slender body blocked in front of Xiaoxiao.

The stones were on him, staining his spotless teal robe, and the dirt struck his face and hair, giving his handsome, not mortal countenance a mundane and tacky look.

He was angry, but he didn't express it.

If the humiliation of this group of naughty children made him angry, then what was the pain of Xiao Xiao for so long?

"Run~!"

Seeing Hu Lanyu's appearance, the group of naughty boys didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, and left with a scream.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, little girl. Hu Lanyu said slowly.

"Hey, hey, hey. Xiao Xiao smirked, she stretched out her dirty finger and pointed at the mud on Hu Lanyu's face, as if she was also laughing at him for being bullied.

Hu Lanyu grabbed her dirty hand and said, "There is no room for you here, come with me, I will take you to Qingshan, cure your madness, and then ...... Marry you, if you don't hate it, I'll continue to teach you to read and write, and teach you the Book of Poetry next time, but I won't next time

Gone again. ”

As he spoke, he held his little hand.

Tiny seems scared and screams to run away.

"Don't be afraid, I'll recite it to you, and I'll recite the thousand-character text you're most familiar with. ”

Hu Lanyu hugged her, and then said: "Heaven and earth are yellow, the universe is desolate, the sun and the moon are shining, and the Chensu column is ......."

The crazy little one immediately calmed down when he heard the thousand-character text, and let out a silly smile: "Cluck, cluck." ”

In this way, a handsome son who did not look like a person in the world took a crazy girl with frostbite on her hands, yellow muscles, and unkempt face, carrying a thousand-character text on her back, and left the village, and walked in the direction of the green mountains, they walked through the fields, submerged into the dense forest, and finally disappeared into the depths of the mountains, just

The voice of a thousand words could be faintly heard echoing back.

"The clouds cause the rain and dew to become frost, and the gold is born, and the water and jade come out of Kungang......."

Since that day, there is no longer the crazy girl with the tiles in Qingshan Village, and I have not seen Hu Lanyu anymore, but I have heard the old woman often mention that Hu Lanyu cured Xiaoxiao and married her, and then often came to visit her, but the people in the village did not meet it

I was a little suspicious of this, but one night the parents of the small family suddenly picked up a hundred taels of gold in the yard, and there was a red paper pressed underneath, which was a small birth date.

Some say that the gods left it to compensate for the little parents.

But the old woman in the village said that this was a dowry left by Hu Lanyu.

The old woman's words were gradually accepted by the villagers.

However, after a long time, Hu Lanyu and small things were gradually forgotten.

It wasn't until more than ten years later that the old woman died of old age, and when the funeral was held, Hu Lanyu took a young and beautiful young woman wearing filial piety clothes to the village, saying that she was going to send the old woman to the end, and the woman was still holding several children in her hands, the older one was ten years old, and the younger one was one or two years old.

Each of them is very handsome, like a boy and a girl in the sky, they returned to Qingshan after the funeral for the old man, but every Qingming time the villagers who burn incense and worship the ancestors can meet them to sweep the old woman's grave.

The villagers were frightened by the couple and thought they were ghosts and spirits.

The old man in the village remembered the past, and often said: "Don't be afraid, that couple is Hu Lanyu and Xiaoxiao, it is the crazy girl in the village before, there is still a small carved thousand-character text on the door of your house, many descendants have bullied Xiaoxiao when they were in the village before, right?"

Have you all forgotten?"

Some unbelieving young people went to check, and sure enough, there were shallow traces left on the doors of every house, and some clear traces could still be identified, which were engraved: Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate......

Seeing the evidence, the people of the village believed that the story was true.
