Chapter 8 Time Changes
Ten years of time, like a white horse passing by, the years quietly flow through the fingers, unconsciously, it takes away a lot of things, pain or memories, and at the same time it also brings a lot of new things, light or growth.
The cold winter has arrived, the plum blossoms are new, especially the two plants outside the door of the old village chief's house, they are very bright, the cold wind blows, the golden flowers are swaying with the wind, and the fragrance is overflowing in an instant, as if you can smell it within a radius of ten miles. Luo Chen curled up like a hedgehog and hid in the quilt and refused to get up, even if the thunder sounded, he was indifferent, turned over and continued to sleep. In the deserted village, the smoke of cooking is curling and the smell of food is fragrant, but this temptation does not seem to make Luo Chen abandon his bed.
A little girl wearing a white cotton jacket and an animal skin hat pushed the door in, came to Luo Chen's bedside, and shouted: "Brother, get up and eat, if you don't get up again, I'm going to put ice cubes!"
The little girl's name is Luo Xuan, the daughter born to Luo Qi and Si Yi, and of course Luo Chen's own sister. Luo Xuan playfully looked at Luo Chen who was hiding in the quilt, and didn't see any signs of getting up for a long time, so Luo Xuan ran out. After a while, I saw Luo Xuan return to the dusty room with a piece of cold ice in her hand, and then suddenly lifted the dusty quilt and stuffed the cold ice in her hand. Luo Chen immediately screamed and jumped up from the bed like a flea, and Luo Xuan laughed when she saw this.
Luo Chen immediately wrapped his body in the quilt, glared at Luo Xuan angrily, and said, "What are you doing? You actually stuffed ice cubes in my quilt, you wait for me, sooner or later one day I will clean you up!"
Luo Xuan grimaced at Luo Chen and continued: "If you dare to bully me, I will tell my mother and father all the ugly things you did before, and see what you do!"
Luo Chen gritted his teeth, and suddenly showed a smiling face, and said to Luo Xuan: "Don't, my good sister!
Luo Xuan "giggled" and said, "It's pretty much the same! Hurry up, it's time for Daddy to spank you again!"
Luo Chen snorted coldly and said, "Just fight, I'm not afraid of him!"
Luo Chen's words fell, only to see Luo Qi walk in from outside, and said very sternly: "What did you just say?
Luo Chen snorted coldly, jumped off the bed, and said, "You know how to spank me all day long, can you change some new tricks, I'm annoyed if you don't bother me!"
Luo Chen is a well-known troublemaker in a deserted village, either bullying the children next door, or taking a group of people to climb the windows or eaves of other houses, and sometimes making the whole deserted village restless, it is precisely because of this that Luo Qi, as a father, often spanks his ass, Si Yi looks at it Although it is very heartbroken, but there is nothing to be done. In this deserted village, Luo Chen only serves one person, that is the old village chief, as long as the old village chief says a word, he will obediently return home. However, the old village chief had a serious illness a few years ago, and now he is unable to move, sick in bed, and rarely disciplines Luo Chen on weekdays. But no matter what mistakes Luo Chen makes, as long as the old village chief is mentioned, he will obediently admit his mistakes and accept the lesson.
has been like this all year round, and the relationship between Luo Chen and his father Luo Qi has slowly become estranged, so that no matter what Luo Qi says now, he will do it right, right or wrong, all the same. Sometimes Si Yi couldn't bear to watch Luo Chen being beaten, and would persuade a few words on the side, but Luo Chen didn't seem to remember her well. Since Si Yi married Luo Qi, he moved to Luo Qi's house to live, and the old village chief was left in the thatched house in the east of the village, which inevitably seemed a little desolate, at first Luo Chen also moved to Luo Qi's house with Si Yi, but later because Luo Chen was naughty and often beaten, he moved back to the thatched house in the east of the village, and the old village chief depended on each other, which is why Luo Chen only listened to the old village chief. Later, it was only because the old village chief was seriously ill and had difficulty moving that Luo Qi and Si Yi moved back to the thatched house in the east of the village.
After breakfast, Luo Chen stood outside the door and stretched, he rubbed his neck, looked up at the sky, and then said to himself: "It's another beautiful day, the sky is clear, what should I do?"
Luo Chen stood in place and meditated for a while, then he suddenly heard the sound of birds coming from the mountain, and then he had a flash of inspiration, and said with a smile: "I haven't made up for my grandfather for a long time, it just so happens that the weather is good today, go to the mountains to see if you can meet a black spirit finch!"
Luo Chen returned to the house, brought the broken axe and bow and arrow used for hunting on weekdays, and was about to go out, when Luo Xuan on the side saw this and asked, "Brother, are you going to hunt in the mountains again?"
Luo Chen snorted coldly and said, "Take you, forget it, I don't want to be beaten again!" Luo Xuan stood with a pout, watching Luo Chen go out.
Luo Chen entered the mountain alone, although the sun was already high at this time, but the dense fog in the mountains had not yet dispersed, Luo Chen walked through the dense jungle, humming a little song leisurely. The birds scurried around in the forest, following Luo Chen's small tune and chirping, Luo Chen sometimes looked up at the birds in the forest, and gestured at them with the broken axe in his hand a few times, the birds seemed to sense the crisis, and they were scared and scurrying around. Seeing this, Luo Chen smiled and secretly thought to himself: "Coward, this is afraid!"
While Luo Chen was walking through the forest, he looked around to see if there was any trace of the black spirit sparrow, but after some searching, he didn't even see a single hair of the black spirit finch, and he was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart.
Walking and walking, Luo Chen unconsciously came to the bottom of a towering tree, he looked up, only to see a thick fog swirling between the branches, all kinds of birds walking through the fingers of the tree, chirping non-stop. Luo Chen touched his nose and wanted to walk forward, but at this time, he suddenly felt that something fell on his head, Luochen stopped, touched his head with his hand, and a sticky touch came immediately, only to see Luo Chen gritted his teeth and scolded: "I see that you are impatient, you actually dare to on the head of the master!" It turned out that a piece of bird fell on Luo Chen's head.
Luo Chen was enraged, he took the bow and arrow from his back, and shot at the birds on the branches, and several unlucky birds were shot by the arrows and fell to the ground, crying for their lives. And those who were not shot were too frightened to show their faces again, and flew to other trees. Luo Chen walked up to a bird that had not yet lost his breath, and said to himself: "Didn't you just now?
However, at this time, Luo Chen suddenly stood still in place, because he heard a sound of "cooing" from the forest not far away, he pricked up his ears, and a smile appeared on his face, and secretly thought to himself: "It seems that today's luck is not bad, and finally let me meet it!"
Leaving the towering tree, Luo Chen slowly walked in the direction from which the sound came, and after a while, he stopped, because he saw a strange black bird squatting on a branch not far ahead. Luo Chen's face was overjoyed, and he looked at the strange bird in front of him and smiled: "What a big black spirit finch, today is finally not in vain!"
The words fell, the arrow had been wound, the bow had been drawn, and the arrow was revealing a murderous aura towards the black sparrow. Luo Chen closed his right eye, and had already pulled the bow to the limit, and suddenly, the sharp arrow he saw came out of the bow, pierced through the sky, squeaked, and went straight to the black spirit sparrow on the branch. Seeing that he was about to shoot, he never thought that the black sparrow suddenly flew up, and the sharp arrow passed between the legs of the black sparrow and shot into the forest.
The black spirit sparrow flapped its wings and flew forward, Luo Chen saw that the arrow missed, and immediately chased in the direction where the black spirit bird flew away. Due to the heavy body of the black sparrow, its flight speed and distance are not like other birds, which is also the reason why Luo Chen can follow the black sparrow closely. During the chase scene, Luo Chen also shot several arrows, but they all missed. Seeing that the black spirit sparrow was getting farther and farther away, Luo Chen stopped chasing, he stood in place and took a deep breath, took three sharp arrows from his back, and then he put the three sharp arrows on the bow at the same time. The bow creaked as Luo Chen pulled it, and he gritted his teeth, and then aimed three arrows at the black sparrow. Three sharp arrows broke out of their bows and passed through the jungle and headed straight for the Emerald Sparrow. Luo Chen stood quietly in place, watching the sharp arrow shoot at the black spirit bird's body, he jumped up happily and said loudly: "Look where you are still running!"
When the words fell, Luo Chen went straight to the black spirit bird that was shot. In the blink of an eye, Luo Chen came to the side of the black spirit bird, only to see the black spirit bird with two arrows in his body, lying on the ground and dying. Luo Chen picked up the black spirit sparrow from the ground, then broke the sharp arrow on its body, and found a dead vine from the side to tie the black spirit bird to his waist, and then prepared to leave.
However, just as Luo Chen was about to take a step, he was suddenly stunned, because at this moment he heard a burst of messy footsteps coming from the forest, accompanied by a dull roar. Cold sweat slowly flowed down Luo Chen's forehead, and he didn't bother to wipe it, he ran violently in the direction he came, and kept saying: "It's over now, why did I break into the blood ape forbidden area!"
For the deserted village, the Blood Ape Exclusion Zone is hell, where an ancient ape, called the Blood Ape, lives very tall, and although it resembles a human, for the Blood Ape, humans are their delicious food. The reason why the blood ape lives in this forbidden area, and does not attack the villagers of the deserted village, is because there is that thunder in the deserted village, and once the blood ape walks out of this forbidden area, it will be struck by the thunder and turned into charcoal.
Luo Chen ran desperately in the forest, but no matter how much he ran, he couldn't escape the pursuit of the blood ape at this moment. A hideous-looking and extremely fierce blood ape suddenly fell from the sky and landed in front of Luo Chen, blocking his way. Seeing this, Luo Chen was about to continue running in a different direction, but before he could start to take a step, three blood apes fell beside him one after another, and four blood apes surrounded Luo Chen in the middle.
Luo Chen shook the broken axe in his hand, although he was in a cold sweat, he didn't panic, looked around, he raised the broken axe in his hand and slashed towards the blood ape in front of him, the blood ape saw this, and began to roar angrily, while slapping his chest. Seeing that the broken axe in Luo Chen's hand was about to split on the foot of the blood ape, Luo Chen suddenly withdrew the axe and ran through the grass next to the blood ape. But after all, the difference in strength was too big, and before Luo Chen could run a few steps, he was blocked by another blood ape.
With the lesson just now, this blood ape grabbed Luo Chen with its claws mercilessly, and threw it heavily on the ground, where could Luo Chen, who was small in body, withstand such a toss, and under the heavy fall, Luo Chen only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he fainted.
Seeing this, the four blood apes raised their heads and roared three times at the sky, very arrogant. Then the blood ape that stunned Luo Chen squatted down, lifted Luo Chen up, took it in front of his eyes and threw it into the air, and opened his mouth wide and waited for Luo Chen to fall into his mouth!
