Fifteen years later. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Spring is a warm season, and the spring of Lujia Village is like a paradise, the mountains are full of all kinds of flowers, peach trees, pear trees, and each other are blooming their own beauty, hundreds of bees are buzzing, and butterflies of all sizes are flying around.
There is a long waterfall in the middle of the mountain with the sound of rushing water, and there is a raised stone slab in the middle of the waterfall, and the water falls on it and splashes countless waters, which looks colorful like a beautiful rainbow in the sunlight.
Below the waterfall is a circular pool, where a few fish often jump out of the water, wagging their tails and then quickly falling into the water.
Next to the waterhole was a large smooth bluestone, on which a young man in tattered clothes lay with one leg crossed, his hands resting under his head, a stick of grass in his mouth, and the warm sunlight shining on his face through the dense willow branches.
There was a soft "click" not far away, and the young man smiled slightly, hurriedly got up, turned down the bluestone, and ran towards the grass behind him.
After a while, there was a white rabbit in his hand, and the rabbit had a red rope tied around its neck, and there was a trace of fragrance on its body, and he grabbed the white rabbit's ears and ran excitedly to the back of the mountain.
There was a forest behind the mountain, and in the depths of the woods there was a cave hidden, and in the evening, the boy was stirring a pot of broth in front of the iron pot in the cave.
"White Moon, White Moon......" A girl's voice came from a distance, and the young man put down the spatula in his hand and stood on the edge of the hole and looked out.
In the distance, a young girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, she was dressed in purple, her long hair hung down on her waist, probably after walking a long mountain road, the girl's face was flushed, and a pair of big eyes kept looking at the tattered young man outside the cave.
"Hey, you... Have you seen my white moon?" asked the girl finger boy.
The boy didn't speak, squatted down and continued to stir the pot of broth, and the girl ran to his side angrily, pointed to his head, and said loudly, "Hey, I'll talk to you." ”
The young man said without raising his head: "My name is Shen Linfeng, not Hey." ”
The girl pinched her waist with both hands, and her little face was flushed with anger: "Okay, okay, what kind of wind is that, have you seen one..."
The girl stared at the red rope, and then looked down at the boiling meat pot, her face trembled, and one hand trembled and pointed at Shen Linfeng: "You... You... You ......" Before the words were finished, the girl pulled out the short sword at her waist and stabbed with her hand, Shen Linfeng saw this, put down the shovel and ran.
The girl's body was light, and a somersault landed in front of Shen Linfeng, and then her right leg kicked diagonally, and Shen Linfeng bent over and flashed when she saw this.
After missing the blow, Shen Linfeng turned his head and ran again: "While he was running, he shouted: "Why did you hit this woman?"
The girl stood in place with a slight luck in her palms, and then slapped out a palm, and a stream of air slammed straight into Shen Linfeng, he staggered and fell to the ground, and the girl rushed forward and stepped on his chest: "Good you ruthless stinky beggar......" Before the words were finished, a white rabbit jumped at the girl's feet, as if recognizing the smell of the owner, and kept rubbing her embroidered shoes.
The girl was slightly embarrassed to hold the short sword, Shen Linfeng pointed to the foot that was still stepping on her chest, the girl hurriedly withdrew her foot, her face was slightly flushed, she gently picked up Bai Yue on the ground, opened her mouth and said, "That...... What did you just say your name was?"
"Shen Linfeng," he rubbed his chest as he walked around the girl to the meat pot and continued to stir.
The girl walked behind Shen Linfeng and said hesitantly, "That...... My name is Xia Ziyan, you can call me Ziyan. ”
Shen Linfeng stared at the meat pot and said without looking back: "Didn't you find your things?"
Xia Ziyan was bored with herself, but after thinking about it, she was indeed too reckless just now and said, "I was offended a lot just now, I'm sorry, I quit." With that, he turned around and left.
Before he took a few steps, a burning wine jar in the distance flew towards the entrance of the cave, Xia Ziyan's figure flashed easily, and the wine jar fell to the ground with a "bang", and the entrance of the cave immediately burned, Shen Linfeng hurriedly got up and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
Several figures in the grass in front of the cave kept shaking, and Shen Linfeng stood at the entrance of the cave and shouted loudly: "Hmph, it's the three of you again, come out quickly and don't hide." ”
Out of the grass came three teenagers of different physiques, one of whom was obese, and the fat on his face was shaking with every step.
The second boy who came out was emaciated, but he was very tall, and at first glance it looked like a bamboo pole standing in place. The third is short and looks like he is stunted, and the picture of the three of them standing next to each other is very funny.
The fat boy shouted, "Little Hanako, get out of our village quickly, if you don't leave today, we will set fire to this cave." ”
The short boy was holding a jar in one hand and a torch in the other.
Shen Linfeng smiled at the corner of his mouth, reached out and took out a slingshot from his waist and picked up a stone casually, and with a "bang" sound, the wine jar was torn apart, and the fat young man was furious when he saw this, picked up a wooden stick casually, and waved his arm: "Beat him for me!"
The three of them rolled their arms, rolled up their sleeves and surrounded Shen Linfeng, and the fat young man clenched his hands into fists, and then let out a loud shout, "Ah!" But he himself did not move, but pushed the tall boy next to him hard, and the tall boy was suddenly pushed, and before he could react, his body rushed forward.
Shen Linfeng bowed and hugged the young man's waist head-on, stretched one leg behind him and tripped hard, and the tall young man lost his center and fell to the ground on his back.
Shen Linfeng pressed on his body, a fist beckoned to his head, the fat young man saw that his companion was knocked down and hurriedly ran forward, his fat flesh seemed to fluctuate with the running, he saw Shen Linfeng lying on the ground and jumped forward, pressing towards the two.
Shen Linfeng only felt a shadow above his head attacking him, looked up and saw that he was frightened, and hurriedly turned over to dodge, a muffled sound was accompanied by a painful scream, and the tall boy vomited out of the noon meal that was pressed.
Shen Linfeng hurriedly stood up and looked at the two on the ground laughing, but he didn't notice the figure next to him flashing, the short boy hugged his waist behind him, Shen Linfeng's arms were restrained and couldn't move, and the fat boy on the ground stood up with great effort and panted, as if the leap just now used up all his strength.
He walked slowly to Shen Linfeng and punched him in the stomach, Shen Linfeng's abdomen was painful, his body bent down, and the fat man grabbed his hair and kept patting his cheeks: "You little wild seed, hurry up and let me hear?"
Shen Linfeng hated words like "Xiao Ye Seed", his eyes were wide open, and his legs kept kicking forward. However, the young man behind him had great strength and could not break free.
At this time, a pebble flew from a distance with a strong wind, hitting the back of the short boy's hand impartially, the strength of Shen Linfeng's waist was instantly reduced, his arms broke free from the restraints behind him, his body rushed forward suddenly, raised his fists and greeted the fat face, the fat man was caught off guard and only beaten.
The short boy picked up the wooden stick from the ground and hit Shen Linfeng on the back, Shen Linfeng ignored the wooden stick behind him, just waved his fist vigorously, and said something in his mouth: "Who is the little wild seed, who is the little wild seed?"
"Hahaha......" A burst of laughter like silver bells came from the mouth of the cave, Xia Ziyan stood there with a smile in her hand and Bai Yue, her skin was brighter than snow, her eyes were like a pool of clear water, her eyes turned on everyone's faces and said, "Three people fight one, alas...... Even a little woman like me can't look at it. ”
Shen Linfeng also stopped waving his fist, and the fat boy was finally able to get out, he quickly ran away and then pointed at the short boy: "Why are you stunned, hurry up." After saying that, he squatted down and stroked his already swollen face.
Xia Ziyan jumped up lightly with her feet and body, flipped forward in the air, lightly touched one foot on the branch, jumped forward with the help of force, and finally fell lightly to the ground.
She pulled out her dagger and pointed it at the fat boy's chest and said, "Why don't you get out of here?"
When had this fat boy ever seen such a skill, he pulled the tall boy who fell to the ground and ran down the mountain in a gloomy way.
Shen Linfeng patted the dirt on his body and walked towards the cave, and said softly as he passed by Xia Ziyan's side, "Thank you." ”
Xia Ziyan smiled playfully: "It's okay, it's okay, it's even if we have it." After speaking, he followed Shen Linfeng towards the cave.
Shen Linfeng squatted down and poured the broth from the pot into the basin, Xia Ziyan stood behind him and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"Pheasant"
At this time, a special fragrance filled the cave, which suddenly made people appetite, Xia Ziyan smashed her mouth and said, "Can I eat it?"
Shen Linfeng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Xia Ziyan behind him and nodded silently.
Half an hour later, Shen Linfeng took Xia Ziyan to sit on the rocks on the top of the mountain, watching the sun set in the distance, the villages and fields below the mountain were all reflected in patches of red, and birds flew around in flocks in the sky.
Xia Ziyan looked at the scene in front of her and couldn't help but praise: "It's so beautiful!" She turned her head to look at Shen Linfeng: "You must have a special story on you, right?"
Shen Linfeng looked at her suspiciously: "What?"
Xia Ziyan raised her head and looked at the sky and said, "For example, where are you from, why did you come to this place, why did you end up in such a field?"
Shen Linfeng lay on his back on the bluestone, pillowed his hands under his head, and said leisurely: "I ran away from home when I was six years old. ”
"Oh, why?"
"Because, my father... I was killed, and I vowed to find this person to avenge my father. ”
"What's his name?"
"I don't know, I haven't even seen him before. Shen Linfeng said sadly.
"Then how do you avenge your father?"
Shen Linfeng was speechless, he didn't know how to avenge his father, for several years, he had eaten and slept in the open, and had seen countless people's strange eyes, in the eyes of others, he was already a pitiful and pathetic little beggar.
Xia Ziyan continued to ask, "Then why did you come here?"
"Since the day I left home, I traveled all the way north, six years ago to this Lujia Village, I heard an old man in the village say that the name of this mountain is "Shenju Mountain", there was once a fairy Taoist lived here. ”
Shen Linfeng sat up from the new seat and continued: "I excitedly climbed up the mountain to find all the way, except for this cave, I didn't find any place to live, I saw that the top of the cave was engraved with the words "Shenju Cave", so I was sure that this must be the place where the immortal lived, so I waited until the immortal came, and taught me a trick and a half to avenge my father's mother." ”
"And then?"
"I've been waiting here, the longer I wait, the less confidence I have, and after a long time, I feel that I have become accustomed to life here, and my belief in avenging my father and mother is not as strong as it was then" After speaking, Shen Linfeng sighed heavily.
Xia Ziyan suddenly remembered the three people today, so she asked, "Who are those three people today?"
Shen Linfeng smiled slightly, and then lay down on his back: "They are the children of this village......"
"Miss... Miss..."Before the words were finished, there were bursts of eager shouts from the bottom of the mountain, and Shen Linfeng turned his head to find that Xia Ziyan had already gotten up and stood on the edge of the cliff.
The evening breeze blew, the clothes were flying, and the slender hair was blown away by the wind at will, and she turned around slightly: "I'm leaving, they're coming for me." ”
Shen Linfeng looked at her in a daze, a melon seed face, beautiful and beautiful, a pair of clear eyes staring at him, a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked at the eyes blankly and said softly: "Go." ”
Xia Ziyan turned around and her feet suddenly rose, she luckily stayed in the air and looked at Shen Linfeng and said, "I want to ...... Maybe I can help you. With that, he turned and flew down the mountain.
Shen Linfeng looked at the dark night sky in a daze, the spring breeze was slow, the sky was full of stars, and he muttered to himself: "God... Immortal...... It's coming!"
