The sky was getting darker, and a warm wind was blowing, Aunt Zhang licked her chapped lips and looked at the woods not far away. Aunt Zhang hurriedly The woods in the distance became more and more blurred, she shook her heavy head, supported the ground with her hands, and tried to stand up, but Aunt Zhang tried several times in a row and did not stand up.

The sun was setting, Zhang Heng was holding Ouyang Yue'er in his arms, Ouyang Yue'er was holding the little lion, the two of them walked out of the woods with a smile and a smile, when the two walked into the house, Zhang Heng found his mother sitting on the ground, hurriedly stepped forward, put down Ouyang Yue'er and helped Aunt Zhang, and asked with concern: "Mother, why are you sitting on the ground!"

Aunt Zhang opened her eyes with difficulty, looked at the young man in front of her, hugged Zhang Heng tightly in her arms, and cried: "My son!" After Aunt Zhang finished speaking, her feet floated and she took several steps back in a row. almost fell to the ground, Zhang Heng saw this and hurriedly helped Aunt Zhang.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Heng asked anxiously.

Seeing this, Ouyang Yue'er hurriedly persuaded: "Hurry up and help Aunt Zhang into the house." Aunt Zhang is afraid that she will be sunburned. Ouyang Yue'er said worriedly.

"Come, mother, let's go into the house first. Zhang Heng helped Aunt Zhang into the house.

Ouyang Yue'er was also a little anxious when she saw Aunt Zhang of Yan Dada, and said to Zhang Heng: "Zhang Heng, look at Aunt Zhang's appearance, I'm afraid that she is suffering from heat stroke, you hurry up and go to Lang Zhong to grab a few medicines." ”

Zhang Heng nodded and said to Ouyang Yue'er: "Okay, I'll go now, you can help me take care of my mother." After Zhang Heng finished speaking, he turned around and entered the house, took some silver taels, and hurriedly ran towards the outside of the village.

Ouyang Yue'er was not idle, she put the little lion aside, scooped a bowl of water, and fed Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Zhang is also very thirsty now, so she drank the water in the bowl a few times. After a while, Aunt Zhang eased up, looked at Ouyang Yue'er, and asked anxiously, "Girl, where is my son?"

Ouyang Yue'er sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Aunt Zhang on the bed, smiled and said, "Aunt Zhang, don't worry, Zhang Heng will give you medicine, and I will be back soon." ”

After listening to this, Aunt Zhang looked at the gray sky outside the house, showed a little worry on her face, and said, "This child is busy with all his work, what is wrong with me, hey." ”

Ouyang Yue'er smiled and said, "It's not a serious illness, but take some medicine and recover faster, aunt, how old Zhang Heng is, don't worry." ”

"Oh, good. Child, you tell Auntie, how did you come out, didn't the mountain god treat you?" Aunt Zhang thought of the legend of the mountain god, and asked with some fear in her heart.

Ouyang Yue'er smiled and said: "Auntie, don't listen to those villagers' nonsense, where did the mountain god come from, it's my little dog barking, we have been separated for several days, and the little dog can't find me, so he barked." After Ouyang Yue'er finished speaking, she picked up the little dog on the ground and happily stroked the little lion, who felt the familiar breath and rubbed it on Ouyang Yue'er.

Aunt Zhang looked at the little lion in Ouyang Yue'er's arms, stretched out her hand, pulled Ouyang Yue'er closer to her, stared at the little lion and said, "Child, don't lie to your aunt, that sound is not a dog barking, you tell your aunt honestly, what is in your arms?"

"Huh. The corners of Ouyang Yue'er's mouth twitched, revealing a wry smile, and coaxed: "Auntie, this is not anything, it's just a little poodle, the barking is a little special, but it's still a puppy." Ouyang Yue'er didn't dare to tell Aunt Zhang the truth, it was impossible to tell her that this was the descendant of a lion spirit, it was strange if it didn't scare her.

"Oh. Aunt Zhang lay down in disbelief, still a little uneasy in her heart, and was about to ask something. Ouyang Yue'er interrupted Aunt Zhang's train of thought, and asked curiously: "Auntie, tell me, what's the matter with the mountain god?" Ouyang Yue'er thought of the big monster in the cave, and guessed in her heart, it can't be that monster is what they call the mountain god, right?

Aunt Zhang heard Ouyang Yue'er's question, thought for a while and said: "Actually, I don't know what the mountain god is, but I just heard from the older generation that hundreds of years ago, our village has always enshrined a mountain god, and every year we have to send a pair of boys and girls to the mountain god, if we don't send it, the mountain god will eat up the whole of our village." It went on like this for many years, and many people in the village left here because they were reluctant to give up their children. There are many lonely elderly people and children who have no one to take care of them. When Aunt Zhang said this, she swallowed her saliva, looked at Ouyang Yue'er and said, "Girl, my aunt is a little thirsty, you can pour some more water for my aunt!"

"Okay. Ouyang Yue'er hurriedly jumped out of bed, scooped up a bowl of water, and handed it to Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang took the water, took a sip, put the bowl aside, and said to Ouyang Yue'er: "I heard from the older generation, a few decades ago, an immortal passed by here and subdued the mountain god, in order to make the mountain god atone, the immortal trapped the mountain god in the forest, and said to protect our village for a hundred years. Since then, people have stopped giving boys and girls to the mountain gods, but now they hear the roar of the mountain gods, and everyone thinks that the mountain gods have come again to give us boys and girls to it. When Aunt Zhang said this, she had tears in her eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "They want to give my son and you as sacrifices to the mountain god." I didn't allow it at the time, but when I saw you trespassing into the forest alone, I was in a hurry and told my son to chase you. If my son really has something, how can I explain it to his father!"

"Auntie, we're not fine, don't worry, the matter of the mountain god is over, we're fine, it's fine!" Ouyang Yue'er kindly persuaded.

Aunt Zhang nodded, took a sip of water, slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Ouyang Yue'er saw that Aunt Zhang was already asleep, so she walked out of the door in a whisper, and Ouyang Yue'er came to the yard with the little lion in her arms. She looked up at the starry sky and glanced casually at the woods. Suddenly, Ouyang Yue'er noticed that something seemed to be wrong with her eyes, she stood up in surprise, staring at the woods, in the dark night, she could see the leaves and birds' nests in the woods.

Ouyang Yue'er felt that her heartbeat suddenly slowed down by half a beat, how could such a thing happen! Ouyang Yue'er thought wildly in her head: "Could it be that her eyes have become cat's eyes, and she can see things clearly at night?"

Ouyang Yue'er looked around in disbelief, she inadvertently saw a firelight moving in the distance, Ouyang Yue'er blinked hard, but she still didn't see the person clearly, she thought to herself, it seemed that she couldn't see it clearly when it was far away.

Ouyang Yue'er stared into the distance, and when the torches approached, she could see the person completely clearly. It's really lively, more than a dozen people came, and Zhang Heng was also among them, tied up by these people.

Ouyang Yue'er scratched her head, Nima, what are these people doing? Ouyang Yue'er's eyes turned, and she said to the little lion in her arms: "Xiaobai, come, roar twice at those second goods, Nima, these people bully my sister every day, my sister has to clean them up!"

The little lion seemed to understand Ouyang Yue'er's words, and roared at those people without hesitation.

"Roar, roar, roar!" Three roars in a row, Ouyang Yue'er saw the messy torches in the distance, and those people were so frightened that their legs trembled, and they retreated straight back, not daring to move forward.

Ouyang Yue'er hugged the little lion and walked towards those people with a happy heart. It took a few minutes for Ouyang Yue'er to walk up to them.

The village chief, surrounded by everyone, came to the front, glared at the people around him dissatisfied, and said, "What's the panic, it's a big deal, we'll send them back!"

When Ouyang Yue'er heard this, she immediately said to the little lion: "Xiaobai, roar twice!"

"Roar!" the little lion opened his mouth wide and roared at these people, and a powerful voice passed through the crowd, and these people were so frightened that they lay on the ground, begging for mercy in their mouths: "Mountain god, mountain god, you let us go, don't eat us, we will send them to you!"

When Ouyang Yue'er heard this, she looked at these bastards, Nima, didn't you see the little lion in her sister's arms, and she still wanted to send us to the mountain god, and she was angry with her sister.

Ouyang Yue'er pouted, looked at the young man who spoke, and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, boy, what are you talking about? Now Zhang Heng and I are the spirit children under the seat of the mountain god, if you are disrespectful to us, you are disrespectful to the mountain god, and the mountain god is not happy now, so he wants to eat your kid first." ”

When the young man heard this, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and hurriedly begged Ouyang Yue'er and Zhang Heng for mercy: "Spirit Boy God, please have a lot of adults, don't be like me, Lord Mountain God, please don't eat me, please don't eat me." ”

When the village chief saw the little little one in Ouyang Yue'er's arms, he was full of doubts, and he remembered listening to the older generation say that this mountain god is huge, like a small mountain, and when the mouth is opened, it can swallow an adult, but this little little point will be a mountain god. Although the village chief was suspicious, he was still a little afraid, and did not dare to move forward, standing aside and silent.

Ouyang Yue'er sneered and drank: "Since you know that you are afraid, why don't you let Zhang Heng go quickly!"

"Yes, I'll let it go. The young man didn't care whether others objected or not, he divided five by two, untied the rope on Zhang Heng's body a few times, and respectfully sent Zhang Heng to Ouyang Yue'er.

Ouyang Yue'er pretended to talk to the little lion and ignored these people. After a long time, Ouyang Yue'er looked up at the dozen or so people around her, and said coldly: "The mountain god said, it saw that you had a good attitude in admitting your mistakes, so it let you go, but ・・・・・・"

Ouyang Yue'er was halfway through her words, she looked at the village chief coldly, she paced to the village chief and said, "I said, if you tie up Zhang Heng casually in the future, then the consequences ・・・・・・ hum, think for yourself, now hurry up and get out of me!"

"Let's go!" said the village chief, his feet trembling, his voice trembling. Ouyang Yue'er was standing beside him just now, he felt as if he had entered an ice cave, and he didn't dare to stay here for a moment.

Ouyang Yue'er watched these people supporting each other, preparing to leave, and shouted loudly: "Stop, I said, are you people ignorant, this black light is blind, how can you let the mountain god go back, leave all the torches, you guys get out of the dark!"

"This ・・・・・・ is, they all leave torches. The village chief hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly shouted to the people around him, who did not dare to stay, left the torches, and hurriedly ran back.

Ouyang Yue'er saw these people who fled in the wilderness, and snorted coldly in her heart, what is Nima. Ouyang Yue'er looked at Zhang Heng and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Zhang Heng looked at Ouyang Yue'er in surprise and asked, "Is it really a mountain god?"

"Yes, Zhang Heng Lingtong, let's escort the mountain god home. Ouyang Yue'er said playfully.

Zhang Heng scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "But I can't get these torches alone." ”

"Who told you to take it? Take one, and put out the rest, so that it doesn't cause a fire." Ouyang Yue'er said speechlessly. Then he ignored Zhang Heng and walked back on his own.

Zhang Heng put out the torch, hurriedly followed, and asked in surprise: "It turns out that you deliberately played those people." ”

Ouyang Yue'er rolled her eyes and didn't say anything. Walking towards the house on his own. Walking into the house, Ouyang Yue'er asked, "Zhang Heng, where is the medicine you bought for your aunt?"

"Here, although they caught me, I have always protected Yaohao. Zhang Heng said as he lit a fire to decoct Aunt Zhang.
