At the dinner table, Jiang Yun, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't bear to ask. As he grew up, some rumors gradually spread in the village, just like today's Jiang Dalong, who called him a "little bastard"
non-stop.
The parents who were eating were stunned when they heard this. They looked at each other, then put down their bowls and chopsticks together, seeming to have straightened their minds.
"Yun'er, why are you still asking this kind of question? Didn't my father and I tell you exactly the first time? You were born to your mother in ten months of pregnancy. It's true and true."
"I also believe that my brother is the biological child of my parents, but Jiang Dalong and the others always say that my brother was picked up from outside." Jiang Xiaoyan tilted her little head and said slowly.
Jiang Yun looked at the expressions on his parents' faces and stopped talking.
At night, every house in the village turned off their lights one after another. Jiang Yun had just coaxed his sister to sleep and lay down.
The bright moonlight shines in through the window, and the night outside is quiet. Occasionally, there are a few "croaking" sounds of frogs, which seem to embellish the tranquility.
Jiang Yun did not close his eyes. Many questions suddenly appeared in his mind. He did not know the answers, and his heart was at a loss.
Just like countless nights before, he would lie in bed thinking about things that he couldn't understand at all.
First of all, what he couldn't figure out was why his body temperature was much colder than that of ordinary people, and he often had cold hands and feet and a chill all over his body.
It felt like a piece of ice had been filled in his heart. Especially when he was angry and angry, the cold feeling was even more intense, as if all the blood in his body had been frozen.
As I get older, this feeling of being like ice all over my body becomes more and more severe. Moreover, in the past year or so, I have been prone to getting sick due to my cold body, and I will catch wind and cold if I am not careful.
And the other biggest doubt is that he doesn't know whether he is his parents' biological son.
There were endless rumors and crazy rumors outside, and whenever I asked about my parents, their expressions would freeze at that moment.
Jiang Yun is really a little unsure now. If he is not his biological father and mother, then who are he and who are his biological parents?
Jiang Yun's mood was very complicated at this time.
No matter whether you are the biological child of your parents or not, your parents are the people you are closest to.
Jiang Yun clearly remembers that when he was three years old, that is, the year his younger sister Xiaoyan was born, his father went hunting on Zuofeng Mountain for the family's livelihood. He accidentally fell off the cliff and broke a leg.
Even so, my father gritted his teeth and overcame the difficulties and learned to weave bamboo baskets at home, and then asked his mother to take the weaved bamboo baskets to the village and sell them to earn some money to support the family.
As for my mother, since her father broke his leg, she has taken on the heavy work at home. She was originally a weak woman, but she worked hard to become strong and learned to use her weak shoulders to shoulder the responsibility of raising children.
heavy burden.
Both my parents have gone through hardships all the way.
With so many thoughts on his mind, Jiang Yun thought of the stream flowing around the village. Is there really an invisible barrier above the stream?
Jiang Yun thought about it for a moment. Ever since he could remember, he had never seen anyone in the village go out or outsiders come in.
But half a year ago, an old man fishing came to the other side of the stream. The strange thing is that the old man only fished on the opposite side and never saw him rowing across the middle of the stream.
There must be some article here. Is it true that as the rumors say, there is an invisible barrier in the middle of the stream, which imprisons the entire village in Triangle Mountain and isolates the villagers from the outside world?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yun thought of the three peaks behind the village, the most mysterious and unpredictable main peak among the mountains.
Legend has it that there is a monster deep in the mountainside on the main peak. It is a monster that eats everyone it sees. What does that monster look like, how big and tall is its body? How ferocious does it look?
Jiang Yun gritted his teeth and suddenly sat up from the bed.
"Hmph, no matter what monsters and ghosts there are on the main peak, I will go up there and stay one night tonight. Just for my parents and my sister. I can't let Jiang Dalong and his father bully my sister or my parents anymore!"
"If my life is cheap, let the monster eat me. If my life is big, let me come down from the main peak in glory tomorrow morning and completely defeat Jiang Dalong's spirit."
Jiang Yun took advantage of the moonlight to look at his sleeping sister, and saw that her sister was breathing evenly and sleeping soundly. Her delicate little face looked even more smooth as water in the moonlight.
Jiang Yun couldn't help but buried his head and kissed his sister on the face. This small gesture showed Jiang Yun's infinite love for his sister.
Jiang Yun tiptoed out of bed, then walked out of the room and found a heavy hatchet in a corner of the yard as a weapon for going up the mountain.
This was a tool that my mother used to cut firewood in the mountains on weekdays. Jiang Yun had already prepared it and put it in the yard before dinner, waiting for him to get up and do things easily while everyone was asleep.
Jiang Yun quietly walked to the door of the room where his parents slept, listened carefully, and found nothing unusual, then quietly left the yard.
He must not let his parents know that he is going to the main peak tonight. If his parents knew about it, they would definitely not allow him to go up there.
After crossing the fields and walking through a short section of woods, there is the road up the mountain. Looking up from a distance, the three peaks on Triangle Mountain look like three giants standing side by side in the dark. They are tall and straight, and their bodies are dark.
It gives people a feeling of awe.
The main peak in the middle looks more majestic and towering. In addition to having an awe-inspiring sense of pressure, it also gives people a sense of terror like a devil looking down on the earth.
The road up the mountain is very difficult. There is only a rugged path. No one has walked on this path for many years, so it is overgrown with thorns and weeds.
If you don't pay attention, you won't be able to tell that this was a road before.
Jiang Yun waved the hatchet all the way, cutting away the barbs of the thorns. It was quite difficult to walk. But fortunately, tonight is the middle of July, the moon is big and round, and the moonlight shines down, and you can barely see the surroundings.
situation.
However, it is a bit difficult to see clearly in the darkness under your feet. Sometimes it is inevitable to step on rocks or pits and fall down.
But Jiang Yun's will is much stronger than ordinary people's. Even if there are great difficulties and obstacles in the things he decides, he will find a way to do it.
So Jiang Yun gritted his teeth. Even if his clothes were torn, the skin on his legs was peeled off, and his hands were pricked with blood, he would still move up and never flinch.
However, Jiang Yun was often sick due to coldness this year, and his physical strength was weak. It was quite difficult to climb the mountain. After climbing for more than half an hour, he was only a drop in the bucket.
The main mountain peak is not only high, but also has rugged rocks and sheer cliffs. If you slip without paying attention, you may fall down and be shattered into pieces. Therefore, Jiang Yun stepped firmly on every step, and his progress was quite slow.
I don’t know how many hours I’ve been climbing, but I vaguely feel that the moon is getting farther and farther away from me, and I think it might be the ugly time.
At this time, Jiang Yun had already reached a piece of hinterland, and when he looked up, he still felt that it was elusive and out of reach. He had only climbed about half of the height of the mountain, and this should be half of the place where legendary monsters were haunted.
Mountainside hinterland.
Jiang Yun was already half dead from exhaustion. In addition to the bruises all over his body caused by thorns and barbs, the bones all over his body seemed to be falling apart from exhaustion.
After all, he is only a ten-year-old child. It is not easy for him to grit his teeth and use strong perseverance to climb to such a high position.
Jiang Yun sat down on a big rock, panting. His whole body was completely exhausted. Fatigue and tiredness swept over him in an instant. Jiang Yun couldn't bear it anymore and fell down on the grass on the roadside in a daze.
Get ready for a comfortable sleep.
Unexpectedly, just as he fell down, a cold wind suddenly blew over him. The cold wind was biting and made his cheeks hurt.
Jiang Yun's sleepiness suddenly dissipated. At this time, Jiang Yun suddenly realized that he was on the main mountain peak that was regarded as a forbidden area by the villagers, and the place where he stood was the place where legendary monsters haunted.
There are many mysterious and unpredictable things here, including jungles that you can plunge into and be unable to get out of, pitch-black and bottomless caves that swallow people, and monsters that eat everyone they see.
Thinking of these legends, Jiang Yun broke out in cold sweat. He looked into the distance and saw a jungle in front of the hinterland where he was standing. It was rolling and covered a large area.
The mountain wind blew by, and large areas of the jungle were shaking, and various strange sounds came from it, as if they were right in front, or as if they came from the distant sky. It felt very scary.
Jiang Yun couldn't help but feel nervous. At this moment, he suddenly felt a little regretful.
A child's strong will was finally destroyed by fear, and Jiang Yun's weak mind was completely enveloped by the tense and weird atmosphere in front of him.
At this moment, something terrible happened. A strange noise suddenly came from the grass not far away, which sounded creepy.
Jiang Yun's whole body was tense with nerves. He looked over intently and saw two green dots suddenly appearing in the weeds a few meters away.
The two green dots came very quickly and floated directly towards where Jiang Yun was standing.
Jiang Yun's fair face turned blue. He didn't have time to think too much and threw the hatchet in his hand towards the green dot, but the green dot ducked down and dodged.
Jiang Yun screamed in fear and ran away in the opposite direction.
However, the two green dots chased after them without any intention of stopping. Jiang Yun gathered all his strength to escape, but unexpectedly, in desperation, he dived into the jungle ahead.
As soon as we entered the jungle, everything became darker because the lush branches and leaves overhead blocked the moonlight.
Jiang Yun couldn't see the road under his feet, and his right foot was suddenly hung on a vine, and his whole body was thrown to the ground.
At this time, he quickly got up and looked back, only to see two green dots in front of him. Suddenly a black shadow flashed in front of him. It turned out to be an agile bobcat chasing him. And those two
The green dots are the two eyes of the bobcat.
It turned out to be a false alarm. Jiang Yun took a long breath, relaxed his tense nerves, and sat down on the ground.
This time I was really exhausted physically and mentally.
Jiang Yun thought to himself that a monster was really coming now, and he decided not to run away anymore.
Just eat it, or if you close your eyes, becoming a delicious meal for monsters will not be a waste of time in the next life.
But Jiang Yun couldn't be allowed any rest time at all.
Suddenly, the ground beneath him rumbled and shook, and the surrounding trees swayed with the shaking ground. A dark wind mixed with the smell of blood rushed towards him, and the fishy smell was sucked into his stomach along his mouth and nose. Jiang Yun felt
My stomach was churning and I almost vomited.
But at this time, something even more bizarre happened. The shaking ground beneath my feet slowly began to sink, and the soil, along with withered grass and trees, fell down from the depression.
In just a moment, a deep and huge hole formed on the ground. The entrance of the hole was oblate, and it was pitch black inside. I don't know how deep it was.
Jiang Yun didn't know how such a strange thing could happen in front of him. A huge cave formed in front of his eyes in an instant, and he was standing on the edge of the huge cave entrance.
Although Jiang Yun was scared, he still couldn't restrain his curiosity and stretched his head to look under the huge cave.
It was too dark inside to see anything, but the stomach-churning smell of blood was even stronger. There must be something mysterious and frightening under the huge cave.
"Monster!"
Rumors of monsters in the giant peak flashed in Jiang Yun's mind instantly.
Jiang Yun was very scared and thought that the thirty-sixth strategy was the best. Leaving this dangerous place of right and wrong immediately was the best solution. Following his thoughts, Jiang Yun hurriedly stood up, turned around and was about to leave.
However, Jiang Yun was still a step slower. Because at this moment, a huge whirlwind with majestic force came out of the huge cave, and the bloody gas suddenly filled the entire jungle. The whirlwind flew directly to Jiang Yun
On his body, Jiang Yun's body was rolled up and fell towards the black hole.
There was a whistling wind in his ears, and Jiang Yun's cheeks were burned and painful by the rapid airflow.
The whirlwind swept the river clouds and kept falling. In the darkness, I could only smell the fishy smell getting stronger and stronger. I didn't know how long it had been falling, and I couldn't figure out how deep the hole was.
After falling for a while, light suddenly appeared below, a faint green light with a hint of blue light. By the way, there was also reflection from the groundwater.
Closer, closer.
Yes, there is water below. Strictly speaking, it should be an underground river. There are faint blue and green lights under the river water, which must be some underground gems.
The brilliance of the gemstones and the running water complement each other. Although it is still a bit dark, most things can still be seen clearly.
However, at this time, Jiang Yun had no intention of paying attention to those gems, because he saw something that frightened him.
A monster can be accurately called a giant python.
The giant python is just like this triangle mountain. It actually has three heads. The left and right heads are slightly smaller, and the middle head is very big. The three heads grow on a body as thick as a yellow barrel, dozens of meters long, and the whole body is coiled around
In the water, it looks like a mound.
The giant python has a pair of bowl-sized eyes on its three heads. The eyes are blood red and look extremely scary.
The most tingling thing is that the giant python's three bloody mouths are now facing Jiang Yun, inhaling continuously, and the three super strong suction forces directly sweep into Jiang Yun's body. Jiang Yun can't help it.
, was caught by the suction force, and was about to fall into the python's largest bloody mouth.
