It also snowed this year.
Although it is in the south, Huaiqing is a mountain city with a high altitude, so it will snow.
A little boy of six or seven years old was dressed like a rice dumpling. The clothes were the clothes of his two cousins when they were young. They were bulging, shabby but warm.
Snowflakes fell on his head, but he still sat stupidly under the locust tree at the entrance of the village.
He could sit at the entrance of the village all day long.
When he first came to his uncle's house, a gossipy old sister-in-law from the village grabbed some melon seeds to tease him, but the old sister-in-law didn't even say a word back even though her mouth was filled with smoke.
"Can crows talk?"
Finally once, Feng Wuli spoke and asked seriously.
Several old ladies-in-law laughed and said how could crows talk.
"But those crows in the tree have been talking more than you."
The little boy said something incomprehensible on his innocent face, which frightened several old ladies-in-law.
However, later on, people in the village always found this young man under the locust tree, talking to someone who didn't know what he was talking to, as if there was someone sitting next to him.
Scary and exciting.
Now the villagers passing by are not surprised and say that Su Xiaoxin gave birth to a fool outside and asked her brother to take her back to the village.
Su Xiaoxin is his mother.
The three crows came again, cawing incessantly on the branch above his head.
"There's such a powerful person coming from the north, even Lord Shengqing probably can't beat her."
"Nonsense! How could Lord Shengqing not be able to defeat a human? I will peck the hair off your head!"
"Quack! You bald crow! You have done many evil things!"
Ravens have conference.
Crows can't talk. These three crows didn't seem to know this fact and kept chattering.
He listened quietly for a while, and then a countryman pushing a cart passed by. He stopped and looked at the treetops in confusion.
"Why do these crows always come to the old locust tree? Could they be building a nest? How unlucky."
Feng Wuli waited for the man to walk away, then got up and ran back to the house. He ran too fast and tripped.
Because the clothes were too thick, I rolled around twice before stopping.
He stood up and patted his body. After entering the house, he came out again. Roududu held a handful of peanuts in his hand. Because his hands were not big, there were only seven or eight peanuts.
He came under the locust tree and opened his hands to peanuts. Three crows flew down, one landed on his arm, one landed on his shoulder, and one landed on his head.
He was already familiar with them.
"This fallen flower fruit is really hard to poke."
"Don't grab it, don't grab it!"
"Edit, it's all Eudi!"
The peanuts in Feng Wuli's hand disappeared visibly with the naked eye, and he asked: "Do you know that there are villains in the mountains?"
The crow that landed on his head croaked and said, "Little man?"
"Is it Fuchen?" said the crow on the shoulder.
Feng Wuli was confused: "What is Fuchen? Is it the same monster as you?"
"It's different! They are the weakest monsters."
The crow on the arm was so anxious when he heard it: "You don't want your life, Master Yishan will eat you if he hears it!"
The crow that was uttering such arrogance was so frightened that one of its feathers fell off, and it could only make meaningless croaks.
"Can you take me to them?"
"It's rare to see Fuchen and the others recently, but there should be some in the mountains. We need to look for them first."
Hearing this, Feng Wuli nodded, his eyes moved, and he obviously didn't look like a fool.
The crow on the head said again: "I have been counting just now. Ah Huan ate four pod beans, Jin ate three, and I only ate two..."
"Edit, it's all Eudi!"
"Don't grab the croak!"
At this time, a girl came out of the yard and was startled when she saw the three crows on Feng Wuli's body. She went back to the house, picked up the broom and ran out:
"Go away, go away! Don't bully my brother!"
The three crows fell on their backs, and they didn't have time to eat the last peanut, leaving Feng Wuli and the girl to listen to the croaking.
There were too many clothes, so my cousin rummaged through the boxes to check, and then she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was not injured. She put them on for him again and patted the bird feathers left on his clothes.
"These crows are so brave, they just steal people's food to eat!"
If it were in the past, Feng Wuli would have said that they were his friends, but that would scare his cousin. He knew that some of his friends wanted to be hidden, so he kept it secret.
"It's snowing and it's cold outside. Go back to the house quickly."
The cousin held his hand, shivering with cold, and led Feng Wuli into the house.
…
It snowed intermittently for four days before it stopped.
Sunlight shines through the gaps between the thick clouds, and beams fall on the mountain village. The scattered village houses look like a fragmented and forgotten place, with occasional smoke rising straight to the sky.
After the snow, the mountains are like silver snakes dancing wildly, and there are a series of small footprints in the forest.
The two crows led the way, talking and quarreling all the way, and then let Feng Wuli judge them.
The boy dressed like a Fuwa walked alone on the snow. The heat turned into white mist in his mouth and nose, and his face was pink.
Hearing the crows quarreling, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, like a child who had stolen candy.
Feng Wuli knew that beyond these mountains was the city where his parents lived. He was startled for a moment, lowered his head and continued on his way.
He originally lived with his parents in Junsha, but his father was addicted to gambling and owed more than 10,000 yuan. Four or five middle-aged young men dressed as migrant workers came to him on motorcycles several times, causing a commotion at home. No more, my mother is now clamoring for divorce.
The two young men and women don't seem to have too much emphasis on parenthood, and Feng Wuli has been very weird since he was a child. He is always silly and silly, and he doesn't like to talk when he is not stupid. It seems like he has an emotional defect, or he is in the corner. They didn't know who they were chatting with, and others were frightened when they saw it. They both avoided talking about the child's problems. Although his mother wanted to take him with him, she was unable to do so.
Finally, his uncle, who was smoking a dry cigarette, took him back to his hometown in Huaiqing without saying a word.
The two people thought the child was lost.
He really didn't say a word.
His parents don't like him, he knows.
No one knows what is in the mountains and forests. In the early years, as soon as it snowed, jackals, tigers and leopards that could not find food in the mountains would come down from time to time. After liberation, they were hunted to protect people and animals, but in recent years they have not been seen anymore.
He came to find the villain. He heard from a mother-in-law in the village that there was a villain in the mountains.
The mother-in-law was very kind. Others said that this child loved to lie, but she was the only one who couldn't. She said that she seemed to hear crows talking occasionally, but she couldn't hear clearly. She thought her ears were not working well; she also said that there were crows in the mountains. There were little people with big fingers and very cute; there were also immortals, who said there were immortals in the mountains. Feng Wuli asked her if she had ever seen an immortal. At that time, the old lady seemed to be reminiscing and gave him an affirmative answer.
"It's right in front."
A crow landed on his shoulder, and another performed a crow's southeast flight.
Suddenly, there was some movement in the forest. Feng Wuli looked at a pile of bushes behind him. A fat creature that looked like a dog and a leopard jumped out, looking at him with its tail.
Feng Wuli took a step back, clenched his fleshy little hands, and stiffened his body, while the big dog hunched over in an attacking posture.
They say tigers don’t eat drunkards, so this big dog shouldn’t eat fools either, right?
The crow flew on his shoulder.
He fluttered his wings and flew in front of the big dog. His body quickly grew in size and grew longer when facing the wind. Two arms with black feathers grew out from under his wings. His legs grew longer and turned into a crow-man over two meters tall, like a crow. Dumen's huge figure, with a hunched back, looked down at the big dog.
"Quaa——!"
The snow on the trees was falling down, and the black dog was shaking like chaff.
…
"It's right in front!"
In the mountain forest, there is a human cub sitting on the back of a big black dog, with two crows standing on its head. One of them stretches out one wing to peck feathers. In fact, other birds peck feathers to peck parasites, and they monsters have There are no parasites, but it says other crows do the same thing and it cannot be compared.
I don't know what I'm comparing.
"Are you really not going to peel it off?"
The crow asked innocently: "This is a wooden dog. It was rare before that a wooden dog could grow so big. Its skin can be made into fur and mattress, which is very warm."
Feng Wuli held the dog's back to prevent him from falling: "Is it a monster?"
"It is a natural creature, an animal. Animals cannot turn into monsters."
Just like although they look like crows, they are completely different from crows.
Feng Wuli seemed to understand, and asked: "Why don't you monsters appear in front of humans?"
"Humans are too scary and overbearing. Decades ago, humans came to dig up Lord Yishan's spiritual body. Lord Yishan didn't agree and punished a few humans. Then you humans almost blew up Lord Yishan to death."
"Who is Lord Yishan?"
"The mountain south of your village is almost hollowed out. Master Yishan is about to die. We are all very sad."
Feng Wuli thought for a while. He seemed to have heard some gossip in the village, saying that there was some kind of mine in that mountain. During the mining, several drill bits were broken. Many workers in the excavation had nightmares. Then they kept saying that there was something unclean and they couldn't open it. Later, the superiors issued a document and fired several cannons at the nearby hills. After that, nothing happened during the mining.
People are afraid of monsters, and monsters are afraid of people.
Occasionally, large shadows would pass by in the forest, or eyes hiding in the treetops would watch this dog, one person and two monsters.
"Is there a new big monster? It's a human. Another human has come in."
"The human in the north hasn't left yet."
"I really want to eat it."
"Then why are the triplets with humans? One of them is missing. Was it eaten?"
Feng Wuli had no expression on his face and walked on silently, pretending not to hear.
At this moment, the surrounding monsters seemed to notice something and quickly moved away. The two crows sitting on the farmer's head also blew up their feathers and flew up with croaking noises. One crow held Feng Wuli's clothes in its mouth.
But, it's too late.
Feng Wuli slowly looked back. There was a strong wind and snow behind him, and it was as dark as an abyss. He didn't know when there was a girl standing there whose appearance could not be clearly seen. He could only see through the wind and snow that the specific outline was that of a woman who was more than three meters tall. Wearing a bright red wedding dress.
Human beings cannot grow more than three meters tall.
It can only be a monster.
