The mountains in the secular world are not as majestic as the fairy mountains and blessed lands, but they also have a different kind of continuous appearance. On the lowlands between the mountains, there are villages of various sizes.
The smoke rises from the thatched roof and dances enchantingly into the clouds and mist lingering in the mountains, adding an ethereal quality to the village.
At the entrance of Xicun, a group of children were gathered around.
"Liu Qingyan, you are just a wild child without a father and a mother!"
"Hit him!"
"Liu Qingyan, don't run away, sisters, hit him!"
…
In order not to be beaten by the little girl in the village, Liu Qingyan struggled to move her short legs, trying her best to ignore the pain of being hit by stones, and ran forward without looking back.
After finally getting rid of the followers behind her, Liu Qingyan gasped for air. In her carelessness, she stumbled and fell by the path in the mountain behind the village.
Almost all the strength in his body was exhausted. He lay down on the grass, big tears slipped from his cheeks and fell to the ground. His little face, which was not very clean at first, was now even more black and white. It's sloppy.
Liu Qingyan's parents died when he was young, and his grandfather raised him. The bookish name "Qingyan" was also given to him by his grandfather, who was a private school teacher.
When he was five years old, his grandfather also passed away due to illness, so Liu Qingyan could only live with his second uncle and aunt. The aunt always treated him as a slut, and beat and scolded him regardless of his young age.
Liu Qingyan lived like this, full and hungry, for three years.
Usually he doesn't shed tears very much. Grandpa once held him on his knee, nodded his nose affectionately and told him that we are just boys, and when we grow up, we will be upright men. Men cannot shed tears.
Liu Qingyan always kept her grandfather's words in mind, and never shed a tear no matter how hard or tired she was.
Today, he couldn't bear it any longer. When he saw that there was no one around him, tears started to flow down his face.
Why do they call him a wild child and why do they bully him! The little Liu Qingyan felt extremely aggrieved.
There is a reason why the little girls bully Liu Qingyan. Although his parents are dead and he lives under someone else's roof, he is extremely watery. It is not appropriate to describe a boy as watery, but it is very appropriate to describe Liu Qingyan.
The eight-year-old child is at the age when it is difficult to distinguish between male and female. His fair face has a pair of big moist eyes, his small nose is very straight, and his small mouth is red and moist, like a peach just picked from the tree. , making people want to take a bite just looking at it. He is clearly a boy, but he looks more delicate and lovely than a girl.
The boys in the village liked him very much. They liked to play with him on weekdays and were willing to give him good things. Thanks to these boys, Liu Qingyan did not starve to death.
The little girls were naturally unconvinced when they saw him. Today, when he was alone, they got together to beat him and make him sulky.
If they were asked to elaborate, they couldn't explain why they didn't like Liu Qingyan. Anyway, they got angry just looking at that fair little face. Why did the boys in the village like to play with him? They obviously wanted to play with him too. For boys to play!
I don't know how long I cried, but the sky turned dark. The mountains not far away were dark, which made people feel panicked. Liu Qingyan was a little scared. He got up from the ground quietly, wiped two handfuls on his face casually, and then asked. Go home.
At this moment, a white light suddenly flashed at the foot of the mountain, and then something fell heavily to the ground. Liu Qingyan was choked by the splashed dust and coughed for a while. After it calmed down, he wiped his eyes and looked carefully at the " thing".
That shouldn't be considered a "thing", but a person, a person in black clothes, who was falling to the ground and unknown to anyone.
Liu Qingyan took a few deep breaths to gain courage, then slowly walked forward and squatted in front of the man in black for a long time. The man did not even move.
Liu Qingyan poked him with her finger in confusion, but she didn't expect to wake him up. The man's closed eyes suddenly opened, looking a little sharp. Liu Qingyan was startled, and his body He fell back and sat on the ground.
For a while, the two stared at each other in silence for a long time.
The man was obviously seriously injured. After a while, he struggled to get up, took medicine, sat cross-legged and began to meditate to heal his injuries.
Liu Qingyan just sat on the ground, looking at him motionless. She didn't know if she was too frightened to move, or if she forgot to stand up.
The next day, the man in black recovered slightly from his injuries.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the slovenly child in front of him, still staring at him with a pair of big black and white eyes. He had obviously been looking at him like this all night.
The man's thin lips parted slightly, and his mellow voice was hoarse: "Wouldn't your parents be worried if you don't go home all night?"
Only then did Liu Qingyan react, and she quickly put her little arms on the ground to use force to stand up, but she didn't move all night, and her whole body became stiff, and she was about to fall to the ground when she bent her elbows.
Suddenly, there was a force pulling him to stand up, and he used the force to stand firmly in front of the man.
so amazing!
Liu Qingyan's eyes lit up, and when she was about to ask the man how he did it, his stomach growled inappropriately.
After not eating for two consecutive meals and a long night, Liu Qingyan was already hungry. Hearing the sound from his stomach, he lowered his head in embarrassment and pulled at his tattered clothes uncomfortably with both hands. horn.
Seeing this, the man twitched the corners of his lips and smiled. This smile affected the wounds on his body, and the smile that was supposed to be beautiful suddenly became stiff.
He looked around before slowly standing up: "Little girl, go to the creek over there and help your brother get some medicine. My brother will take you back later."
Ordinary injuries are nothing to a man, but the wound on his back this time was caused by a special magic weapon. The wound has not healed for a long time. There is medicine in his storage bag, but the wound is on his back. Do it yourself. Somewhat inconvenient.
But when he saw the child with a dirty face, he raised his head and blinked at him, and whispered: "Brother, I...I can help you apply the medicine, but I am not a little girl!"
The man's eyes flashed with spiritual power, and he couldn't help but laugh. He thought that such a pair of watery eyes must be on the face of the little girl, so he didn't think much about it. Who knew that this time he was wrong, so he just used his spiritual power to observe Afterwards, I realized that the child in front of me was actually a little boy.
"Ahem, hurry up and follow me. After taking the medicine, my brother will take you home for dinner." The man strode towards the creek not far away. Liu Qingyan had short legs, so she had to run to barely keep up with him. .
Looking at the wound on the man's back that spanned the entire back, Liu Qingyan couldn't help but open her mouth. How painful was such a big wound? He was usually beaten by his aunt, and sometimes his skin would be torn apart, wounds that didn't bleed much. He already felt a lot of pain. With a wound like this still bleeding, he couldn't imagine how painful it would be if it hurt him.
Because of this, he hurriedly wet the man's robe in the stream and carefully wiped the area around the wound. He felt that he had done it very lightly, but he didn't know that he was too young and could not control the strength of his hand. No, I pressed the wound lightly and heavily several times. Fortunately, the man in black was tolerant, otherwise he might have lost his temper at Liu Qingyan.
The medicine in the white medicine bottle the man gave him was very magical. As soon as the medicine foam inside touched the wound, the hideous wound stopped bleeding.
After applying the medicine, Liu Qingyan rolled her eyes when she saw the man took out another set of black clothes and put it on, and quickly put the medicine bottle into his arms. If he had this medicine, his aunt would hit him again in the future. Don’t be afraid, you can be cured by just a little bit of medicine!
Anyway, the man didn't ask him for the medicine bottle back, so he just pretended that he had forgotten to return the medicine to him.
Liu Qingyan thought that his movements were unnoticed, but he did not expect that his small movements were all within the range of the man's spiritual consciousness. However, this medicine was very precious to other people, but it was not impossible for him to get it again. This little kid was a thank you gift to him.
The man turned around and was about to speak, but was slightly stunned when he saw Liu Qingyan's appearance. No wonder he recognized him as a girl just now. This dirty child is really too good-looking when he grows up. I still don’t know what it is like in the end. I never thought that this ordinary place with no spiritual energy could actually give birth to such an spiritual child!
It turned out that when Liu Qingyan was wiping the man's wound just now, he stumbled and wiped the dirt off his face, revealing a fair and beautiful little face.
Feeling the sound in her belly again, Liu Qingyan selectively ignored the bottle of medicine in her arms, looked at the man and blinked, and said with a hint of grievance: "Brother, I'm hungry."
The man picked up Liu Qingyan and said with a smile, "Okay, where is your home? My brother will take you back for dinner right away!"
He has been inedged and does not need to eat at all on weekdays. There is no food in the storage bag. There are only a few bottles of inedible pills. However, the child in front of him has a mortal body and cannot bear the impact of the aura of ineducated pills. Send people home, it would be bad if they really starve.
Liu Qingyan was held in the man's arms. He was a little confused for a moment. After his grandfather passed away, no one had hugged him again. Suddenly he experienced the feeling of being held in someone's arms again. He... still I’m really not used to it!
But the eldest brother's arms were really like the arms of his father in his imagination. The eldest brother's chest was thick and warm. If his father was still here, the feeling of being held by him would be the same.
Thinking of this, Liu Qingyan couldn't help but nuzzled into the man's arms, and was a little reluctant to go home. When he got home, his uncle and aunt would not hug him. They would only hug his little cousin with a face full of snot and treat him badly. Then he either beats or scolds.
The eldest brother should be what adults call an immortal. He has such magical medicine and can conjure things out of thin air. If he can be as powerful as the eldest brother, he won't have to worry about his aunt beating him in the future!
Thinking like this, Liu Qingyan hugged the man in black and said: "Brother, I don't want to go home. Even if I go home, my aunt won't give me food and will beat me! Brother, you are a god." Well, how about you take me to heaven to be a little fairy boy!"
He saw that other children in the village were acting coquettishly with their parents in this way, and he began to imitate them.
Looking at the bright eyes of the child in her arms, Xiao Qingyan's heart suddenly softened for some reason, but taking him back was not an easy matter. If the child did not have spiritual roots, with his appearance, he would only be able to go to their world. He would be bullied all the time, so it would be better to stay in the ordinary world and be more stable.
But when he saw the child peeling off the tattered clothes on his chest and seeing him lift up his sleeves, the skin that should have been fair was covered with bruises and bruises, and there were many old and new scars, he knew that the child Didn't lie to him.
Forget it, why not test the child's spiritual roots? If he can cultivate, then just take him back. With this help, he will always protect him.
