A group of five people, day and night, pilgrimage to the purple mist, twilight trampling the red dust, trekking through mountains and rivers, enjoying a very long but not boring journey.

Along the way, the 'storyteller' Wan someone, 'hooked up' with the three beauties next to him, where the ghosts of the south and the north of the world were blowing, from astronomy and geography to the famous mountains and rivers, and then from the famous mountains and rivers to the gods and ghosts.

It doesn't matter, just listen to it!

So three happy little birds surrounded a certain 'Wan's fragrant bun', chirping, pecking, tossing and wow...... In the end, Senior Brother Wan was as if he had been stripped of a layer of skin by that group of little girls, and then he remembered Wen who was almost silent from beginning to end.

That kid was very calm, that is, when he saw Xiao Jing with the other two little girls, pestering Senior Brother Wan all day long, talking and laughing, and making trouble, he could smile and remain silent.

At the beginning, Senior Brother Wan was still proud that he could be the focus of the girls' attention, but later, he only felt that his mouth was dry, and he was dizzy and dizzy by the three tireless (as 'listeners', of course, they were not tired) little girls, and he exhausted his thinking, and finally couldn't come up with any new and interesting stories, so he had to ask for help from the Maitreya Buddha who insisted on 'silence is golden' next to him.

Wen Bin first pretended to excuse himself, and then, he couldn't help Senior Brother Wan's repeated requests, so he went out of the mountain on the spot.

He didn't brag about it, but only took out the small stories that he had memorized in his mind one by one and told them vividly and interestingly, based on the 'wild history miscellaneous books' and 'gonzos' that he had read in the past.

The story is very small, it seems to be very ordinary, very plain, but through its mouth, it seems very smart, which makes people sound and relish, and after a story is told, and then savor it, I feel more meaningful and fun.

Everyone listened, they all liked it very much, and were deeply moved by it, with the ups and downs of the story, sometimes happy, sometimes sad, sometimes flying, and sometimes couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Later, even everyone forgot the mysterious and strange things that 'Wan Shuoshu' had told them before, but in their hearts, they still remembered the touching and touching stories told from Wen Bin's mouth.

However, such a small story comes from life, for Wenbin, it is naturally easy to come, in the long journey, he can go from day to night, and from night to day, day and night, night and night, without the slightest stretch, this skill is admired by the senior brother Wan Qianwan.

Occasionally, one day, when he walked to a barren mountain range, it happened to be in the scorching sun, and the group rested in the forest, Xiao Jing took this opportunity to touch Wen Bin's side, and secretly said, 'Hey, you come with me', and then couldn't help but pull him to the side.

Although Wen Bin is inexplicable, he is also accustomed to it.

The rest of the people already knew about the relationship between these two people, and of course they only turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it!

The two walked a long distance until they came to the back of a huge rock, Xiao Jingcai sneakily took out a bag of things, stuffed them into Wen Bin's arms, and stammered: "Give, give it to you, you eat!" After she finished speaking, her cheeks flushed slightly, and then she turned her back and ran away alone.

"...... "What, so mysterious?"

Wen Bin looked at Xiao Jing's fleeing back, and was inexplicable for a long time before he looked down at the thing in his hand: the bag wrapped in a sweat towel didn't know anything.

What is it exactly?

Wen Bin took it apart and took a look: it turned out to be a pack of biscuits. ...,

On a hot day, I called people to eat biscuits......

I don't know that this thing belongs to 'dry food', and if you eat too much, your mouth will be dry?

Wen Bin was stupid there, and said in his heart: Could it be that the girl's head is in the water?

Although he was dissatisfied, he remembered that the little girl had made the biscuit for him (judging from the appearance - such a 'twisted' biscuit would normally not be sold), and he thought about it, and he always felt that he could not live up to the girl's heart (even if her head was in the water).

So he sat down cross-legged on the spot, took out a pot of water from the 'Heaven Swallowing Ring', and began to eat and drink.

I didn't notice it at first, but then I found out that there was something strange: the shape of the biscuit was distorted, but some looked like a little boy, while others looked like a little girl, if Wen Bin guessed correctly, this roughly represented him and her (as can be seen from the head shape of the boy and girl in the biscuit).

In addition to this, there are also peach heart-shaped, lantern-shaped, and firecracker-shaped biscuits...... Although there were various distortions, after careful identification, Jing Wenbin finally recognized them all.

“......”

Well, now, it is self-evident what that girl means.

What to do?

――Swallow it all in your stomach and digest it~

So I kept eating.

At the end of eating, I found that the doll actually made a few words with cookies: I, you, happy, happy, the most, happy.

Words, naturally, are also distorted in various ways......

But fortunately, Wen Bin still recognizes ......

What kind of sentence is that?

Is it 'I like you the most' or 'you like me the most'?

Wen Bin couldn't guess, but think about it carefully: Isn't it better to like each other?

I was relieved.

Then he swallowed it all down.

After finishing his work, he stood up, dusted off the biscuit scraps on his body, and suddenly found another mystery: in the lower right corner of the plain white sweat towel, there were two colorful ducklings playing in the water.

Under the duck, there is embroidered 'Wenwen', then a red heart, followed by 'Qinqing'.

“......”

So, that's a 'mandarin duck', not a 'duck'?

Girls are really boring!

Wen Bin was thinking so in his heart, but he couldn't help but smile on his face.

At this time, looking back, she was embroidering mandarin ducks at that time, was she doing exercises?

And because he saw it halfway, he mocked it by the way (it really wasn't intentional), so she knew that she didn't embroider well, so she didn't dare to take it out, so she changed this one......

Thinking of this, Wen Bin's heart was like a spring water that had melted, and gradually became a little tender.

What a silly girl!

It's cute, though.

Wen Bin stood in place, thought about it, carefully put the sweat towel into the 'Heaven Swallowing Ring', and changed it to a clean one that he usually used, felt it out, held it in his hand, and walked back.

Xiao Jing went back early, and this time he was shrunk his limbs, sitting under the tree with his head buried and napping.

Wen Bin walked over, stretched out his hand to wake her up, and without speaking, he handed her the sweat towel in his hand.

Xiao Jing let out a 'hmm' and answered it with sleepy eyes.

Then the boy turned away as if nothing had happened.

It wasn't until after a while that the little girl came to her senses and looked at the sweat towel in her hand: the blue checkered, which looked like the style used by boys.

Ah, no, it's not mine.

She wanted to say that, but ......

The girl buried her head stupidly and thought about it for a long time, and then the thief shook her eyes from side to side, feeling that no one noticed her, so she quietly folded it again, and carried it into her arms without saying a word.

Somehow, my heart was as sweet as honey.

......

By the afternoon of the sixth day, the five of them walked to the reed beach, in front of which was the confluence of the wide Songlang River and the vast Baidi River, the crossing distance was as long as 300 zhang, and the water was turbulent, and there were many whirlpools on the reef. ...,

Before crossing the water, Senior Brother Wan specially advised: "This happens to be the intersection of the mermaid and the Xuan Snake territory, both sides are ancient clans, there are many generals, and they fight with each other very fiercely, when we cross for a while, the 'Dragon Scale Horse' will drop greatly due to the turbulent water, if you are unfortunate enough to meet the two clans fighting, it is inevitable that everyone is only allowed to kill the Xuan Snake, and must not hurt the mermaid." ”

"Why?" the crowd was puzzled.

"Ahem, this is because, according to legend, since ancient times, the merfolk have made a peace contract with our human race. Senior Brother Wan told the story of myths and legends, and instructed: "Although the specific reason is lost, this contract has been passed down from generation to generation and is still valid today, and even in earlier times, there are still occasional stories of human boys and mermaid girls who love each other, defy all difficulties, and communicate with each other, which are spread among the people and are passed down as a good story." ”

"And the snake, because of its cunning and insidious character, has been the natural enemy of our human race since ancient times, if you don't attack it, it will bite you in turn. ”

"Moreover, seeing us attacking the snake, the merfolk will not only not attack us, but will also regard us as friends, which is very beneficial to promoting friendly relations between the two races, and ......"

"What?"

"Compared with the Xuan Snake Clan, the mermaid clan is more generous and powerful, and the treasures they have accumulated and possessed are also more abundant, and helping them is more effective than helping the Xuan Snake Clan who will take revenge and betray their promises. ”

"I see......" everyone finally understood.

The snake, as the name suggests, is a water snake covered in pitch black, and the mermaid, Wen Bin has never seen it, but, according to the previous reading of ancient books, it is a kind of aquatic tribe with a human body and a fishtail, the man is chic and handsome, and the woman is peerless, and at the same time, they are born with vigorous and sensitive movements, and they are extremely good at water, which is an enviable race.

But because he has been living in the water, he has been fighting with many fierce races under the water for many years, although he has accumulated years and obtained some territories and privileges, but after all, he has suffered too many casualties in the war and has not been able to develop.

In addition, there was a time when the race was on the verge of extinction due to the ravages of fierce beasts such as wild whales and bloodthirsty sharks.

Later, in order to survive, the mermaids developed amphibious mutations, but at that time, the hegemony on the land had already been divided, so that after they came to the land, they were quite frustrated and had to return to the water.

Although they have not been able to achieve anything on land, they have also formed an indissoluble bond with the Terrans, and have borrowed various means of the Terrans to dominate the land, including formations, weapons, armor, stratagems, etc., and everything is available.

After returning to the water, they put what they learned into practice, using various techniques they learned from the Terrans to carry out a racial counterattack against the fierce beasts of the sea such as wild whales and bloodthirsty sharks, and succeeded in destroying them.

Subsequently, the merfolk clan expanded their territory, built their own homes, and developed for nearly a thousand years, so that they had the privileges of today's glorious overlord of the undersea.

It's just that their current situation is also a high barrier, and jackals, tigers and leopards are dormant in all directions, and this snake is one of them.
