“Yuanliang, Yuanliang, wake up quickly!”
A slightly cold slap lightly patted the unconscious boy's cheek.
After several struggles with his will, the young man finally woke up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he was dizzy by the golden light that passed through the canopy of the towering tree. He couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his eyes. Just such a simple action caused the wound on his body to be pulled.
The young man known as "Yuan Liang" did not have a high tolerance for pain and was throbbing in pain, but the pain also helped him regain consciousness quickly. He rested his elbows on the ground, and the boy who woke him up extended his hand to help Yuanliang get up and lean against the tree trunk.
Yuanliang looked around in confusion.
This place is a dense forest with no end in sight, and what frightens him even more is the unusual plants nearby. Some are bright and mottled in color, with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple all rolled into one, which looks extremely poisonous at first sight; some look like vines, but the hanging leaves are actually "knives" with a metallic luster; some are normal, but the tree is thick and I'm afraid even seven or eight big men can't carry him...
The most important thing is that they can all move!
Yuanliang was at a loss for a moment, and suddenly remembered the memory before he fell into coma.
He traveled with his friends.
While walking here, they accidentally encountered mountains and mist flowing backward into the sky. There seemed to be rays of sunshine shining between the undulating mountains. They felt that the scenery was very beautiful, and the two of them went into the mountain late at night to watch the sunrise. In order to take a shortcut, they did not take the normal mountain road into the mountain. It was this decision that caused them to lose their direction. Not only did they get lost, but they were also attacked by something without any precautions, causing them to lose consciousness.
When I woke up again, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.
Obviously they were in a valley before they fell into coma.
Why did I wake up in a strange jungle?
Yuan Liang spent a dazed time clearing his thoughts, and immediately turned to ask his companion, "Are you okay?" He didn't care about anything else.
The companion said: "It's just a fall."
He woke up before Yuan Liang and checked their injuries. Judging from the wounds, they should have been caused by falling from a high place. For a literary scholar with a literary spirit to protect his body, it could only be regarded as a skin injury. By circulating Wen Qi to nourish the whole body, the pain can be reduced by half.
"It's fine that he's not hurt. I don't know who attacked us..." Yuan Liang stood up slowly while supporting the tree body. He lowered his head and checked the items on his body. All the accessories, swords and money bags were there, and even their respective cages were there. A sneak attack The person is not seeking wealth.
It is strange that he neither seeks wealth nor wants to kill them.
The companion shook his head and said: "Nothing unusual was found at that time."
They don’t even know who is attacking them.
Yuan Liang carried the cage on his back, took out the sword from his waist, and asked his companions to walk behind him, and warned: "This place looks weird. If you can't disturb these plants, please don't disturb them for now. See if you can find an exit and leave this place. Follow and pay attention." Around."
The companion also drew his sword.
The two teenagers walked from the sun high in the sky to the golden crow in the west, but this dense forest seemed endless. No matter which direction they went, whether they walked, ran, or were assisted by words and spirits, they couldn't get out. They also speculated whether there was any spiritual formation nearby that disturbed their five senses. They used all the solutions they knew, but the scene in the dense forest remained unchanged at all. By this time, it was getting dark.
After nightfall, no one knows what dangers there are in the dense forest.
Yuanliang and his companions were anxious but helpless.
The two of them can't be trapped here, right?
At this moment, his companion suddenly had a sharp look in his eyes.
A sword light flashed in his hand, and with a pop, the sword light pierced a nearby vine. The moment it was stabbed, the vine let out a howl that was neither human nor ghost. Yuan Liang raised his hand to stop him from stabbing him the second time: "These plants are weird..."
The companion's eyes looked dangerously at the randomly twisting vines.
Raising his hand, several literary barriers stood in front of him and Yuan Liang. The long sword in his hand was always ready to defend against the enemy. He said decisively: "If you can't get out anyway, why not try to get these things, a fire?" Burn them all!"
It is obvious that these plants seem to be "alive".
When Yuan Liang was looking for a way ahead, he was always on guard against these strange plants, always feeling like there were pairs of eyes staring at the two of them. Every time they return without success, the reaction of these plants is a bit like watching a drama with schadenfreude -
They are trapped here, there must be someone behind the scenes!
If these plants are the medium through which the people behind the scenes control their movements, then it would be better to destroy them all and see if they can force out the hidden people. Unexpectedly, the subsequent development exceeded expectations, so that they were still in a daze after being brought out.
"You two foreigners are so brave, you broke into our ancestral graves without warning, and you threatened to scatter the ashes of our ancestral graves?"
Yuanliang and the others hurriedly explained the cause and effect.
They didn’t mean to do anything to other people’s ancestral graves.
Not long after his companions raised their swords and wounded the vines, a strong young man with a completely different style of clothing appeared and looked at them fiercely, as if he wanted to scratch them alive. In the end, he didn't take action, but said in a bad tone: "Follow me!"
Yuanliang and his companions looked at each other and followed the young man.
This strange boy has long, shiny black hair, which is braided into many delicate braids. His face and neck are painted with brightly colored patterns. The patterns look like totems that have been passed down for a long time. The eyes are bright and colorful.
After hearing the explanation, the anger on the young man's face softened slightly.
He said: "Speak to the high priest."
The foreign boy returned to the tribe with two strangers who accidentally broke in. The entrance to the tribe was extremely hidden, so Yuan Liang and the two were brought in blindfolded by the boy. The moment you take off the blindfold, the land of paradise unfolds before your eyes like a scroll.
Where the vegetation is dense, the outline of the building can be faintly seen.
You can still see neat farmland in the distance, with several busy figures above the farmland. Very few outsiders set foot in this place. When the local tribesmen passing by saw the young man leading two foreigners, their eyes were full of curiosity: "A-Nian, who are these two handsome and cute people?"
The young man's rich face showed no expression. His aura was always locked on Yuan Liang and the two of them, and he didn't take his attention away when he answered the tribe: "I don't know, a stranger who entered by mistake."
“Go to see the high priest?”
The young man nodded: "Yeah."
If the high priest found out there was something wrong, he killed two people.
The high priest's home was not far away, and the young man arrived soon. The cold look on his face melted away like ice and snow, and was replaced by a bright smile. He stood on tiptoe, stretched out his head and looked at the open door: "Priest, two strangers have been brought here."
“Well, let them in.”
An old and kind voice came from inside the house.
The foreign boy turned his head, his smile faded and turned into a cold face: "Strangers, go in, the high priest has something to ask you."
Yuanliang and his companions were nervous.
But I also know that the situation is stronger than the person, so I can only do what I do.
The high priest is a white-haired, stooped but gentle and charitable old man. The room exudes a quiet medicinal fragrance. Seeing Yuan Liang and the others entering, he motioned them not to be nervous and sit down to talk. It's a question, but it's just asking some basic questions.
Yuanliang: "The surname is Qi when he was born late, his given name is Shan, and his courtesy name is Yuanliang."
Companion: "The late-born surname is Tan, the famous song, and the courtesy name is Lezheng."
The high priest smiled and said: "I have already investigated your matter clearly. The responsibility for accidentally getting involved is not yours, it's all the ancestors who mischievously implicated you. Are you scared?"
The two teenagers opposite didn't know what it meant, but they also knew that the people who attacked them were the "ancestors" of this group of alien races.
Tan Qu is a character who doesn't suffer any loss. He immediately wanted to stand up and ask something, but Qi Shan raised his hand and pressed him down: "I'm scared, but I'm not scared. It's just that I was injured when Lexheng and I fell. I don't know where you are." Is there any medicine that can help me deal with it later?”
Qi Shan remembered that Tan Qu supported him before he fell into coma. Le Zheng's injuries should be more serious than his own. If he could use wound medicine, he could recover faster and it would be less likely to leave hidden injuries. The high priest readily agreed to this request and brought out the best medicine.
The two of them verified their identities.
When they came out of the high priest's house, the alien boy A Nian, who had been cold-faced towards them before, smiled very friendly. The old priest came out with a strange wooden staff and called to Anian: "Anian, please take the two distinguished guests to settle down and recover from their injuries."
Young man A Nian responded: "Leave this matter to me."
There is no place for foreigners to live here.
The young man A Nian took them back to his home.
His family is similar to other tribesmen.
When the three of them arrived, a man and a woman were dividing their labors in making medicine in the courtyard. The woman and the man are somewhat similar to Anian, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that the three of them are related. Tan Qu guessed that the man and woman should be An Nian's parents, until An Nian shouted at the top of his lungs and ran away happily: "Aniang, uncle, I'm back!"
The woman is indeed the boy's mother, but the man is his uncle. According to A Nian, in addition to my mother-in-law and uncle, there is also a grandmother who goes out to see her old sisters. She will not return home happily for ten and a half days. There is a family of four, but there is no father of Anian.
It’s hard to ask Tan and Qu in detail.
I am afraid that the questions I ask will hit the boy’s sore spot.
A Nian’s uncle is not as good looking as his nephew, but he is still rare and handsome. He also has a small and exquisite black mole on his forehead, which is very recognizable. When the uncle saw his nephew's makeup, he smiled widely: "What a boy, you have the ability!"
This facial makeup is not something that can be applied casually.
You have to come out on top in today's singing competition.
The uncle thumped the boy's chest: "You're so good!"
"That's natural! I have the best voice in the clan. If it hadn't suddenly... hum, I could still win back the mask." The middle part of A Nian's words was deliberately vague, but Tan Qu and Tan Qu knew that they must be referring to themselves. "But it won't matter if we win tomorrow."
These foreigners are still happy to entertain friendly foreigners who are not in danger. Uncle Anian immediately turned around and grabbed two sheep. After looking at the physiques of the two sheep, he went to catch the third one and said, "Sister, come here and help me."
A Nian packed out a temporary guest bedroom.
As night falls, the aroma of barbecue comes from the bonfire in the courtyard.
A Nian’s mother also made a big pot of fragrant mutton soup.
Uncle Anian greeted him warmly: "Eat, eat, eat. Seeing that you are about the same age as Anian, you should have the same appetite. When you come here, you don't need to be restrained, just treat it as your own home. Can you drink? Do you want some home-brewed wine?" Rice wine?”
A Nian is very busy.
The makeup never comes off.
Uncle Anian said: "Don't worry about him. If he wins a facial makeup, he can show off from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. With his temperament, it is estimated that his body can rub mud and still refuse to take a shower. He is so sloppy."
Anian bared his teeth: "Who said that?"
He would wash himself in the water every three days.
After a meal of roasted whole lamb*3, the atmosphere was much more harmonious and not as stiff as before. After drinking bowls of rice wine, the two parties also exchanged names. Tan Qu introduced him first, claiming to be Qu Tan.
Qi Shan was stunned for a moment and then replied with a smile: "Shan Qi."
The main character has no real name.
A Nian muttered: “Foreigners’ names are really hard to pronounce.”
Tan and Qu settled down here, praying to accompany Tan Qu to recover from his injuries. There are only a few hundred people in this small place, and the news that two strangers came here became "a household name" overnight. Every household brings a lot of nourishing things to the body.
Sending things Secondly, they want to see what foreigners are like.
Both of them look childish.
Qi Shan has a gentle and delicate appearance, with a natural smile on his lips. Although his skin is not first-rate, it is definitely a style that can make people fall in love with him at a glance. This young man has the same temperament as his appearance, and is very patient with the Gongxi people who join in the fun.
I spent most of the day playing with a few children.
An Nian tutted: "These girls and boys usually shy away from cats and dogs, but they are so docile and scary in your hands."
These are all devils who are not easy to deal with.
Praying for good deeds doesn’t seem that exaggerated.
Children, it’s normal to be naughty.
Compared with Qishan, Tan Qu is more withdrawn, not very talkative, has a cold temperament, has a chubby baby face, and has round almond-shaped eyes. Even if he tried to widen his eyes and show off an air of being distant and not to be trifled with, this appearance would hold him back and make him look less convincing.
Not only did it not scare people away, but it actually made them pity...
As pitiful as a cat.
I thought that after two days, these people's curiosity about the foreigners would be gone. But not only was it not, Tan Qu was woken up by the loud and penetrating singing outside the house while still sleeping. I opened the window and saw several pretty girls waving around outside the courtyard.
“A Nian, are you coming to the game?”
“There’s new makeup today.”
The sound of footsteps came from the next door.
“New makeup? Come on, come on, Mamas, wait a minute!”
After a while, Anian turned back and invited: "Aqu, do you and Ashan want to come and play together?"
Tan and Qu knew about this antiphonal song competition in advance.
Having a keen interest in foreign customs.
Qishan agreed in advance: "Of course I will go."
Tan Qu had no chance to say no.
Hand was carried away by two people, one on the left and one on the right.
The competition location is on a cliff in the clan.
As for why it is a cliff?
"The singing effect is good, the echo is bright! It spreads far!" Tan Qu, the injured man, adhered to the principle of "come and come", so he simply sat among a few boys and girls to be the judge. As soon as he sat down, he was about to appreciate A Nian's boasted "voice kissed by God", but the result was that his injury worsened.
Because, the lyrics are explosive.
【Fighting in the middle of the night and not staying down】
As for the tune?
The tune is everywhere, just not in the tune.
He looked at the new makeup on A Nian's face with a dark face.
“A voice kissed by God, are you sure?”
Anian pointed to his makeup: "Is this fake?"
Tan Qu: “…”
Prayers for good deeds are busy trying to smooth things over and pretending to cough.
—
The Gongxi clan's singing festival is held once a year and lasts for seven days. Only those who come first in the singing festival every day can get facial makeup. Every face makeup is different! According to family records, no one has ever won seven facial makeups in a row.
Whoever can complete the feat will be recorded in the family history!
This is a happy event that will bring glory to our family!
The above is the information that Qi Shan got from the child. Tan Qishan's face was as pale as a vegetable, and his eyes looked at him with resentment: "It's okay not to hold this kind of singing party...it's hard to describe it in a word."
It’s so unpleasant!
It is nothing less than a torture.
The next day someone came looking for Anian again.
Qi Shan and two others were also invited.
Tan Qu hugged the quilt and refused to get up. His slightly baby-fat face was full of anger, and he said loudly: "Even if I die, and die here, I will never live again-"
“I’ve inquired that in addition to facial makeup and mask, Touchou today also has a piece of rare meteorite iron, an excellent material for forging swords.”
Tan Qu was not from a good family background, and his sword was mediocre.
He has always wanted to find good materials and play hard.
Tan Qu opened the quilt: "...I'll go!"
His songs naturally did not conform to the aesthetics of the Gongxi clan, but the girl who came first knew what he wanted and generously gave the meteorite iron to her. Tan Qu didn't like to owe others favors, and insisted on buying them with silver. The girl was also stubborn.
Until Qishan secretly transmitted the message to Tan Qu.
Tell Tan Qu the approximate valuation of this piece of meteorite.
That is something that my friends would not be able to afford even half of in more than ten years.
Tan Qu: “…”
At this time, a pretty face came up to her. It was another girl present: "Si Si, you want to forge a sword? Just right, I can make it."
Faced with enthusiasm, Tan Qu can’t refuse good intentions.
After thinking about it but not wanting to accept it in vain, I proposed to give them portraits in return. He is good at painting, especially portraits.
Tan Qu seriously wants to give something back.
As it turns out, he was a little naive.
The next morning someone sang at his window, singing the same songs that Ah Nian had sung at the singing club yesterday. They had lived with the Gongxi tribe for a few days and knew the customs of this tribe to some extent. These songs have special meanings on occasions other than singing parties.
Tan Qu: “…”
Pray for good deeds: “…”
The two teenagers felt something was wrong, but they could accept it.
That night, Tan Qu heard something strange outside the house.
He held his breath and was on guard, waiting and waiting until a familiar head appeared outside the window. It was a girl from the Gongxi tribe in the daytime.
Tan Qu breathed a sigh of relief: "Why is the girl here?"
The girl said: "Of course I invite you."
Qi Shan, who was sleeping in the cubicle, heard the noise and came over.
Out of curiosity: “There is also a singing party at midnight?”
The girl covered her mouth and giggled. Her bright eyes showed a look that the two of them could not understand: "No, I came to ask if there is anyone missing on the bed? The moon is full today."
Tan Qu’s baby face was cracked.
Qi Shan was also dumbfounded.
Tan Qu came back to his senses and said loudly: "No shortage!"
The girl felt a little regretful: "Oh."
Ah Nian from next door poked his head out to join in the fun, still adding fuel to the fire. He knew the sister next door very well: "No way?"
Tan Qu did not miss this sound.
He said angrily: "Do you still expect it to work?"
Anian retracted his head and muttered: "It's not over yet."
Tan and Qu soon understood what it meant.
Not long after, the window raised its head again.
The other party sang two lines of song.
tan Qu crossed his arms across his chest and sternly rejected the young man in front of him.
The young man left in frustration.
After that, it’s girl, girl, husband...
Rejected seven or eight people in a row.
I listened to the same out-of-tune song seven or eight times.
Tan Qu felt that his ears were seriously injured.
“What’s going on with your people?”
Seeing that no one was coming, Tan Qu suddenly opened the window.
Anian was still awake, and the voice came clearly: "That's what you see, they like you."
Tan Qu: “…”
This kind of love is unnecessary.
He and Qi Shan did not dare to sleep deeply for fear of something happening in the middle of the night. A Nian was a talented and courageous warrior, so it was natural that he could not miss the changes in their auras. The next day he even came up to me and asked, "You two are really interesting. You both slept with your eyes open last night?"
Tan Qu: “…”
After this night of rejection, the next few days were normal.
Tan Qu breathed a sigh of relief and carefully prepared the portrait.
Coming back from the painting, he saw A Nian holding a familiar scroll and looking at it with gusto. Tan Qu's scalp went numb instantly.
“A Nian!”
A Nian put down the scroll and looked over.
He spread his hands and said, "I wasn't the one peeping. Well, it was these mischievous things that caused the house to collapse. Your boxes and cages were buried. I helped you clean them up. I saw this by accident..."
Tan Qu’s face turned blue and white.
Seeing a few children hanging upside down in the corner, I knew that A Nian was not lying, but I felt unspeakably uncomfortable inside.
A Nian looks rough in character, but is actually very careful.
He said: "The painting is good."
Tan Qu glared at him fiercely.
A Nian said sincerely: "The painting is really very good. It is one of the best. The pictures must have pictures and the movements must have movements. Even those weird and weird postures look awkward. They are not something humans can do. It can be seen that The painter’s knowledge is very poor.”
Tan Qu: "...are you rich?"
An Nian said: "The boy's skill I practice is to avoid color."
Tan Qu was unconvinced: "Then what did you say?"
They actually laughed at him for his lack of knowledge!
Do you know how much money he can make from these paintings?
Anian tilted his head, his pigtails sliding along: "However, I am a brave warrior, so why can't I understand the human body? The way of Huang Chi is also the way of human relations and nature, and we must learn it."
Obviously, I haven’t learned Tan Qu, so I just relied on my imagination.
Tan Qu: “…”
Time passed quickly, and Tan Qu recovered from his injury in a blink of an eye.
The newly forged sword is also released.
Just as a parting gift.
It's just that their last night in the Gongxi clan was not smooth, because another girl appeared outside the window singing to show her love. This girl only returned to the clan recently. It is said that she went out to find the father of the child, but the progress was not ideal and she was ultimately disappointed. And return.
Alas, another miserable girl who was let down by a ruthless lover.
“I don’t seek pleasure, I only seek a child.”
Qishan's expression paused for a moment, and he retracted his previous emotion.
He is not a Bodhisattva who gives birth to a child. What should you ask for from him?
This girl was obviously not as easy to talk to as the previous ones. Seeing Qishan's repeated refusals, she started to make rice before cooking.
Dong-dong-dong, the window was knocked.
Anian's voice came in: "You can pass now."
The voice was not as smiling and friendly as usual, but more like the coldness of the jungle when they first met. The girl who had been warned gave up.
A Nian: “I’ll send you away.”
You know your own people.
Not every member of the Gongxi clan is friendly to outsiders. Some of them are more extreme and tough in their actions. If two outsiders are left here, trouble may easily occur. They simply planned to leave after dawn, and it wouldn't matter if they were a few hours earlier.
The two men left on a different route than when they came.
There is a mountain road ahead.
Turn around but you can't see the man who sent them off.
It seems as if the experience these days is a big dream.
The night wind blew, stirring up excitement.
The two of them looked back for the last time and went down the mountain to go home.
It's just that if you have bad luck, your teeth will get clogged even if you drink cold water.
The terrain here is unfamiliar, and the two of them didn't know how to get out, until the night wind brought the roar of wild beasts in the mountains.
A faint green "light" lit up in the distance.
The greedy eyes almost want to eat people alive!
I don’t know when I entered the territory of the wolves.
Qishan and Tan Qu have a perfect understanding of each other: "Run—"
