Xu Yixuan was born in a small mountain village, not far from the county seat, only about a few dozen kilometers away.

In addition, as long as he can remember, a road has been built from the village to the county seat, and it is only an hour's drive away, so this small mountain village with only about a hundred households is not considered remote or backward.

Therefore, even though Xu Yixuan was born in a small mountain village, he has received modern education since he was a child. Under the exaggeration of the social situation and environment, he, like most people in modern times, firmly believes that there are no ghosts in this world, and believes that those of the older generation

Weird stories are just used by adults to scare children.

At the worst, they were too backward in those days and classified all the strange things they didn't know into ghost stories that no one had ever seen.

Although Xu Yixuan had just graduated from the first grade of kindergarten at that time.

It wasn't until he was 8 years old that something happened that completely changed his mind and made him discover.

My own thoughts are just too naive. There are many things in this world that are beyond his control. Sometimes we are self-righteous and think that it is just me.

To talk about this incident, we have to start from one night when he was 8 years old.

Xu Yixuan's grandfather, also his father's father, when it comes to his profession, some young people at that time may have dismissed him as a deceitful man. Because of this, Xu Yixuan was often bullied by children in kindergarten, and no one wanted to

Become friends with him. Xu Yixuan often squats in a corner alone, talking to himself and accompanying himself.

"Your grandfather is a liar! A big liar! You are also a liar, a little liar!"

"You are the liar, and your whole family is a liar!"

This kind of conversation is what Xu Yixuan said most often to the children in kindergarten.

It wasn't until later that when he was being bullied, Yang Jun, who was stronger than him, beat up a kid who took the lead in teasing him. After that, no one dared to tease him, and his only friend throughout his childhood also

There is only one like Yang Jun.

Grandpa has always been called a liar by children, but Xu Yixuan has never seen him do anything since he was a child. He has always helped his parents with housework peacefully. Xu Yixuan will also ask him why others call grandpa a liar. Grandpa

He always smiled and seemed not to take it to heart at all.

"Just let people talk. There's no need to blame someone if you want to."

He touched his head and seemed to understand, but in fact he didn't understand at all, but he stopped asking. After all, at that age, he was careless and nothing else mattered except playing.

Until later, grandpa said he was tired and wanted to move to the mountains to enjoy life alone.

Xu Yixuan was still young at that time, so I asked him how he could live on the mountain when there were trees and no houses.

Grandpa touched Xu Yixuan's little head and lovingly said that his great-grandpa lived in the mountains and built an earthen house. Later, his great-grandpa passed away and the house was free, so Xiu Xiu could live there.

So, grandpa took his simple luggage and went to live in seclusion in the mountains.

And this incident that almost changed Xu Yixuan's life happened here.

I remember it was the holiday after the first grade of kindergarten. During the holiday, Xu Yixuan would run to his grandfather. It must be said that his grandfather was still an old naughty boy sometimes. Like a child, he could always play with these children and interact with him.

Being together, there is no pressure like being with other adults, so he is happy to be with him.

There are no fields left in the deep mountains, there are green natural pastures everywhere, and many well-known and unknown wildflowers are blooming all over the mountains.

Grandpa took Xu Yixuan to a sunny grassland. He picked up his cigarette bag and started smoking. When he saw Xu Yixuan looking at him with a smile, he suddenly took a sip of the cigarette in his mouth, and then spit it in Xu Yixuan's face.

On the way, his face suddenly turned red from holding back.

"Ahem..."

Seeing Xu Yixuan choked with tears streaming down his face, grandpa chuckled with joy.

Xu Yixuan pushed himself hard on the ground, climbed up with a groan, and then ran into the grass beside him, laughing and coughing.

After all, he was only an 8 or 9-year-old child at that time. He was the most playful and curious about everything he saw. So he walked deeper and deeper, farther and farther away from his grandfather, and completely forgot about time.

Suddenly, a "thumping" sound startled Xu Yixuan. Although he did not believe in ghosts and gods, humans are instinctively afraid of unknown things. Not to mention that Xu Yixuan was still young at that time.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a pheasant flying out of a bush.

"Oh my god, you scared me to death."

Xu Yixuan, who was startled, was more excited. Children of his age are always full of curiosity and love for things in the wild.

Xu Yixuan patted his chest, walked over and dug through the grass to take a look. Oh my god, it was a nest of wild eggs. I counted eight of them. They were exactly the same as eggs, but they were obviously smaller than half of them.

It turned out that a nest of pheasants was hatching. They were disturbed by Xu Yixuan's passing by and were frightened, so they swooped out and frightened him instead.

Xu Yixuan picked up the T-shirt with one hand and pulled it into a bag shape. He had just picked up two wild eggs. Suddenly a thought flashed through his mind and he put the two wild eggs in the T-shirt back into the nest. At this time, his grandfather called out

It sounded, it was getting late, grandpa was telling him to go back.

He hesitated for a moment, then carefully restored the messed up grass next to the pheasant nest, then secretly noted the location of the pheasant nest, and went back with his grandfather.

It was getting dark, and even when he was eating, he was absent-minded, thinking about his own plan. After a hasty meal, he and his grandfather took a basket, took a water and electricity, and prepared to go to the place where the pheasant nest was found today to catch the pheasant.

.

This was Xu Yixuan's plan. He grew up in the mountains and naturally knew that hatching pheasants would return to their nests at night even if they were frightened, so he was thinking about tonight's affairs during the day.

Xu Yixuan said to his grandfather that he was going out to catch pheasants and walked into the dark night alone. He is originally a child of the mountains. In addition, I have been to my grandfather's place many times and I am quite familiar with this mountain, so my grandfather can rest assured that he will be safe.

When people go out, they just remind them not to go too far, especially not to go in the direction of the mountain called Dahei Mountain. From his tone, that mountain seems scary.

But Xu Yixuan didn't care. He agreed with his mouth, but he didn't agree in his heart. Is it different from a mountain? What's so scary? Isn't the place I want to go in the direction of Dahei Mountain? But he didn't say this to his grandfather.

Relying on the faint light emitted by the water and electricity, his small figure gradually penetrated deep into the mountains.

The sounds of various animals kept ringing around him, but Xu Yixuan enjoyed this unique feeling. Just imagine, a person walking alone on a dark mountain road at night, listening to all kinds of beautiful sounds, what would it feel like?

Well, some people have said what it feels like, it’s so fucking breathtaking. Indeed, for most people, this is really not a pleasure, but Xu Yixuan was just 8 or 9 years old at the time, and he didn’t know anything.

Being at an age where you don’t know anything and fearing anything, plus living in the mountains since childhood, it is indeed a state of mind that ordinary people cannot understand.

As he gradually deepened, the bright moon that was still hanging in the sky gradually dimmed. He knew that it was foggy. In the mountains, the most taboo thing was foggy days. Even during the day, it was very likely to get lost, and even more so.

Not to mention it was night, he certainly knew it, but maybe he was young and ignorant, or he was determined to achieve his goal.

Not only did Xu Yixuan not stop, but he went deeper into the direction where he found the pheasant nest during the day based on his vague memory.
