Carefully cleaning the residue on the old man's body, and then applying the new medicine again, it took him nearly an hour to complete the whole process. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Little brother, I'm sorry, we're leaving!" the Zhang brothers said apologetically as they walked up to Nu Tian's side.

"Two uncles, you have already helped me a lot!" Nu Tian hurriedly stood up and said gratefully to the Zhang brothers, "I haven't thanked you yet!"

"Although your grandfather's injuries are serious, as long as you climb the ladder to reach the academy, you will naturally be fine, so don't be too sad!" Zhang Ershan patted Nu Tian's shoulder with concern, and then pointed to the six-pupiled antelope on the side and continued: "Your two grandchildren are injured and have difficulty moving, I will leave this six-pupiled antelope behind, I can help more or less." ”

"How can this be!" When Nu Tian heard that the Zhang brothers actually gave the newly surrendered riding beast to himself, he hurriedly refused: "Each of these demon riding beasts is worth a thousand gold, and I can't accept anything!"

"I'm just lending it to you for a while, and I'll ask you for it after the mountain climbing, and if you don't have a mount, you two grandchildren won't be able to walk an inch, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk out of this mountain forest, so don't you shirk!" Zhang Ershan smiled and said: "Although we can't help the two of you here, if you don't even accept a little help, won't you trap our brothers in injustice?"

“......”

"Don't want a mother-in-law, just repay our brother after you successfully climb the mountain and enter the academy!" Zhang Sanshan also persuaded on the side.

"Great grace is not grateful, the reinvention grace of the two benefactors Nutian will never forget!" Nu Tian glanced at the seriously injured grandfather beside him, sighed helplessly, and then bowed deeply to the Zhang brothers.

Except for the Zhang brothers, Nu Tian did not have much intersection with the other three. At the beginning, because the other party saved his two grandfathers and grandchildren, he took the initiative to show favor to him, but from the other party's high-minded and contemptuous eyes, Nu Tian immediately understood that each other was just passers-by. Watching the five people and five horses slowly disappear into the mountains and forests, Nu Tian suddenly felt a trace of reluctance in his heart, but he quickly put this thought aside, and secretly reminded himself not to forget the kindness of the Zhang brothers.

After sending off the five Zhang brothers, the two grandchildren of Nutian rested by the stream for a long time before preparing to go on the road. It's not that Nutian doesn't want to go on the road with the Zhang brothers, it's that they go in different directions. After all, after years of walking, the mountaineering trail is already very "smooth", and there are six pupils and horned antelopes accompanying them, and the two of them should not be affected too much;

Although Nu Tian once hoped that the Zhang brothers could take their two grandchildren to Tianbu Mountain, it was just a wishful thinking. In this mountain forest full of dangers, it was no longer easy for them to take three climbers with them, so why should they bring two more injured people? If he had changed himself, Nu Tian would not have thought that he could do this himself, after all, they were still responsible for the three climbers. The grace of saving lives, the love of giving horses, and the virtue of guiding the way, Nu Tian has already admired the benevolence and righteousness of the Zhang brothers, so he no longer dares to expect anything!

Leading the six-pupiled antelope to the side of a large rock, Nu Tian gently stroked the horse-strong demon and motioned for it to stand still. Then he carefully helped his grandfather over, put him on the demon's back, and then rode on it himself, and tied the two together with a rope. At this time, a simple saddle cover (made of vines and hay by the Zhang brothers) had been installed on the riding beast, so that Nutian, who did not know how to ride, could barely ride on the demon's body without falling off. With a slight tug on the reins (the reins were attached to the horns of the six-eyed antelope), he motioned for it to move forward, and the demon immediately moved forward slowly and lightly. The beast's steps were very steady, which made Nu Tian breathe a sigh of relief, after all, this was his first attempt.

The old man's injuries were very serious, and there were clear and terrifying bite marks all over his body, bones had been seen in many places, and his face was completely broken, and his ears, nose, mouth and other parts were more or less bitten off. After some treatment, he barely saved his life, and if he wanted to be completely cured, Zhang Ershan told Nutian that only the immortals who climbed Tianbu Mountain to find the academy had a way. This made Nu Tian, who was originally a little confused about mountaineering, strengthen his belief in his heart, and have the determination to climb this demon mountain.

For this six-pupiled horned antelope, Nu Tianke is very fond of it. You must know that riding beasts is not a luxury that ordinary people can hope for, only those big people have the opportunity to have it. When living at the foot of Tianbu Mountain, Nu Tian had only seen ordinary horses, and this kind of demon mount was only seen during the mountaineering period, but only a few people rode it, which shows its preciousness. What he never dreamed of was that he would be able to ride such a precious riding beast today!

During this time with the Zhang brothers, Nu Tian also knew that these monsters they called demons were actually not "demons" in the eyes of the masters in the academy, they were generally called "demon beasts", and only those monsters who had opened their minds and were as smart as people were "demons". These demon beasts living on the toddler mountain are indeed much more powerful than ordinary beasts, but because of congenital defects, they have never been able to get rid of the beast's scope.

"Although I want to return you to Uncle Zhang in the future, I will still give you a name first, so that it is convenient to give you a title!" On the rugged mountain road, the six-pupiled horned antelope still maintained a steady pace, which made Nu Tian more and more emboldened, and he had the heart to consider the name of this demon beast while speeding up.

"Liuzi? too vulgar...... Six-eyed, this is too much......" Nu Tian thought seriously for a while, and suddenly had an idea, and shouted loudly: "Liu'er, this name is kind and easy to remember......"

"......" the six-pupiled horned antelope seemed to understand what Nu Tian said.

"Okay, you'll be called Liu'er from now on!, you know?" Nu Tian said as he gently stroked Liu'er.

"......" The monster nodded slightly, as if it really understood.

"Good, good, good!" Nu Tian shouted three good words happily.

Half a day later, Nu Tian finally returned to the trail according to the path pointed out by the Zhang brothers. Liu'er's sudden appearance startled several climbers on the side of the mountaineering trail, and it was not until they saw the two grandchildren of Nutian on Liu'er's back that they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. While Nu Tian was rejoicing, he found that although there was still an endless stream of people on the mountaineering trail, the scattered small teams in the flow of people had almost disappeared, and the rest were some relatively large-scale teams. However, thinking of the terrifying hunting of demons (demon beasts) for several days in a row, whether it is a coward who returns halfway, or a poor insect who unfortunately becomes the food of demon beasts, I am afraid that there are not a few, and now the rest are probably some capable and prepared teams!

Nu Tian looked up at the sky and saw that the sun had begun to turn west, so he didn't dare to rest casually, and hurriedly drove Liu'er to speed up. After a period of riding, Nu Tian more or less understood some riding skills, so he gradually became bolder! The six-pupiled horned antelope stepped up its long limbs, as if it were a leisurely stroll, but it actually galloped as fast as a horse, and a few bounces were already tens of zhang away. In just a few moments, it has left several convoys behind......

At the same time, deep in the mountains and forests, Zhang Ershan and the other five were preparing for the coming of night. They burn a special herb in front of a cave to drive away what may be in the cave. But after a while, there was nothing in the cave except for some snakes, insects, rats, and ants that had escaped. After the Zhang brothers entered the cave and examined it carefully, they found that there was indeed nothing else in the cave, so they began to separate up and set various traps nearby. And by the time they had taken care of everything, the sun had completely sunset!

"You're tired too, hurry up and rest!" Zhang Ershan said to the three people behind him.

After placing the three climbers, the Zhang brothers sat down by the cave.

"What are you thinking, absent-minded?" Zhang Ershan asked his brother with a dark face.

"I just don't understand, why does my brother value that kid so much?" Zhang Sanshan smiled bitterly and said the doubts in his heart.

"Just for this?" Zhang Ershan was slightly stunned, then shook his head helplessly, and then asked in a low voice: "What do you think of that kid compared to the two young masters in the cave?"

"How can this be compared?" Zhang Sanshan said in surprise: "Although I also like that kid very much, but he is a woodcutter, he has no ink, and he has no family and power, no matter how he compares, he is not as good as those two young masters!"

"Alas!" Zhang Ershan sighed lightly, and said a little helplessly: "Outsiders don't know, don't you and my brother still don't know! The mountaineering road is actually a 'heart refining road', and it can be seen that it is the human heart and will, regardless of identity and status, which of the three of them do you think is most likely to get the favor of heaven?"

"Brother, do you actually think that kid can get the favor of heaven?" Zhang Sanshan looked at his brother in surprise, his eyes were full of puzzlement: "Although that kid has a good heart and values love and righteousness, it is a bit too much to say that he can get the favor of heaven! ”

"That person is indeed a person!" Zhang Ershan nodded, but then said with a sneer: "It's just that this person is ruthless and arrogant, and he can't tolerate others in his eyes! Even if he is lucky enough to get the favor of heaven, what good will it do to you and my brother?"

“......”

"You and my brothers spend most of their lives in this mountain forest, and struggling between life and death is just to get a food and clothing, do you still want those unlucky boys to learn from us?" Zhang Ershan said earnestly: "As parents, although you can't make your children and grandchildren rich, you must always strive for a good background......

"What my brother said is very true, but does that kid really have the qualifications of a heavenly pet?" Zhang Sanshan nodded and said.

"Originally, I didn't think much of that kid, but when I told him that as long as I climbed the ladder, there was a cure for his grandfather's injuries in the academy, his firm and confident eyes reminded me of those proud sons of heaven on the mountain!" Zhang Ershan looked at the strange full moon in the sky fixedly, recalling the poor boy who knelt in front of him with tears on his face.

"I didn't expect my brother to be so optimistic about him!" Zhang Sanshan said in surprise.

"There's another thing I don't know if you've noticed?" Zhang Ershan asked mysteriously, looking back at his brother.

"Brother is talking about the six-pupiled horned antelope?" Zhang Sanshan asked uncertainly.

"You really found out!" Zhang Ershan nodded slightly, then took out a piece of jerky from his body and bit it hard. The thing was dry and hard, and it took Zhang Ershan a lot of effort to barely bite off a small piece and chew it seriously.

"I also think this thing is very strange, the wild nature of the demon beast is very sufficient. In the past, the newly caught guy didn't have a year and a half of training, so he wouldn't be obedient at all, but this six-eyed antelope was unusually close to that kid, just like those tamed monsters......"

"I've heard Lao Tzu say that although demon beasts are not as smart as anyone, their intuition is more beneficial than humans, and they can often sense the extraordinaryness of certain people, so I made a bet on this kid......" Zhang Ershan interrupted his younger brother with a smile.

“......”

"Besides!" Zhang Ershan said proudly: "What do we have to lose......
