Chapter Thirteen Fat Bear(1/2)
Cangqing Mountains, Jade Bamboo Peak.
It was a sunny afternoon, and the entire Yusun Peak was surrounded by silence. The soft light sprinkled down, which brought a lazy atmosphere into the air. Everything seemed to be lazy.
Xiaojiu stood with one leg, bent her neck, inserted her head into the back feather, and rested outside the window.
The sun shone in from the carved window frames and sprinkled on the bluestone floor in the house. Next to it, a girl in an ice-blue silk skirt was lying on the table, with a pair of big watery eyes looking intently at the front, and a slender finger was fiddling with a bamboo dragonfly in front of her.
All the joy and laughter seemed to be echoing in my ears, but the reality was that the huge peak was the only one left at this time. She gently picked up the bamboo dragonfly, raised it in the sunlight, squinted her eyes, and fantasized about it flying in the sky.
She saw bamboo dragonflies flying into the bamboo forest, flying into the white clouds, flying into the blue sky, and flying across her heart, leaving an indelible trace.
I don’t know anything that made her bid farewell to her childhood ignorance and sprouted in her heart. She found that she was very sensitive recently, and any fluctuations around her would make her feel uneasy. She would giggle alone, and would be sad alone, as if she was full of longing for every moment in the future.
She savored it carefully and it was as wonderful as notes, as gorgeous as snowflakes and unforgettable as lemons.
She seemed to become weak for no reason, always hoping to be cared for and be accompanied forever.
She fiddled with Zhulongfly for a while, then stood up and walked out of the house lazily. Suddenly, she saw Xiaojiu, who was alone in her sleep, turned her eyes and a smirk appeared on the corner of her mouth. Then she tiptoed back to the room, carried a bucket of water, and secretly placed it under Xiaojiu's raised feet, turned around and walked a few steps aside, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Xiaojiu, get up quickly."
The voice was sweet, but deafening. Xiaojiu woke up in shock. He put down his feet in panic. He suddenly felt a chill, and was startled again. He spread his wings and was about to fly. However, he saw Chu Qing, who was smiling in front of him, and seemed to understand a little. He looked down and stepped on a wooden barrel containing water, and realized that it was a prank.
Not only was Xiao Jiu not angry, but flapped his wings gently and whispered a few times, as if he was laughing with Chu Qing, and the joy was floating on the top of the mountain.
After laughing, Chu Qing said, "Xiaojiu, why are you sleeping here and not going out?"
Xiaojiu yelled twice, but Chu Qing didn't understand the meaning.
Chu Qing said again: "Where has Brother Feng been? Do you know?"
Xiaojiu rolled his eyes and thought for a while, but this time he shook his head.
Chu Qing nodded unhappily and did not ask any more questions. Instead, she turned around and walked a few steps towards the cliff, looking around, but she saw the mountains, as if they were surrounded, and suddenly she felt like something was missing.
She stood there quietly, feeling that the only one who could not speak was the big crane that could not speak and the rustling bamboo forest.
Suddenly, she turned around and smiled, "Xiaojiu, let's go to the surrounding mountains."
Xiaojiu was stunned at first, thought for a while, nodded again, then turned around, turned his back to Chu Qing, and lay on the ground.
When Chu Qing saw it, she was overjoyed and clapped her hands repeatedly. Because she had the experience of riding a crane during the last time "Mo Yan" peak, she was familiar with it this time. She jumped onto the crane's back, hugged her neck, and smiled and said, "Xiao Jiu, let's go."
Xiaojiu shook his body gently and felt that Chu Qing was in jail. He stood up with a low voice, walked forward slowly for a few steps, waved his huge wings and rushed straight into the sky.
Although it was the second time riding a crane, Chu Qing was still a little nervous. She grabbed Lingyu tightly and looked down. She saw that Yusun Peak was gradually moving away, and the houses of Xiaoshu were getting smaller and smaller. Suddenly, she saw whiteness in front of her eyes, and a vast piece of white flew into the thick clouds. She saw the vast clouds around her and could no longer see anything. The wind was howling in her ears, and her face felt painful.
Chu Qing's body trembled slightly, half nervous and half excited. The boredom and distress when she was on the ground just now had already been thrown out of the sky.
The white clouds were like waves, rushing towards each other layer, feeling the vast sea of clouds, and feeling even more happy.
I don’t know how long it took to fly, but just as Chu Qing’s mood slowly calmed down, suddenly, Xiao Jiu let out a loud noise and rushed out of the sea of clouds. There was only azure blue between the sky and the earth, as if hanging upside down in the deep sea, blue almost pure, boundless, and spectacular.
Tension and excitement were great magic and surprise. An excited impulse prompted Chu Qing to let go of her hands and spread her arms and shout and scream.
After rushing out of the sea of clouds, Xiaojiu adjusted his flight speed, placed his body flat, and began to fly smoothly. The vast mountains and winding rivers were all in sight. Chu Qing rode on the crane's back and enjoyed the infinite beauty under her feet.
After about a cup of tea, a low mountain in the distance seemed to arouse Xiaojiu's interest. He whispered softly at Chu Qing, as if he had issued an early warning, and then he slapped his wings and feathers and descended directly, as fast as an arrow from the string.
In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the mountain. Chu Qing saw a golden color on the crane's back. She flashed on a three-foot-high tree, and was grabbed by Xiaojiu's steel claws, threw it hard, and threw it to the ground.
Xiao Jiu took the opportunity to land with his feet, put down Chu Qing, and roared loudly, shaking the peaks, like a warrior charging in front of the formation, roaring.
Chu Qing looked closely and saw that not far ahead, a golden cobra was raising her upper body, hissing and spitting out a letter, focusing on guarding a crane and a man.
Chu Qing immediately woke up and Xiaojiu was catching the snake again. I guess she was trapped in the "Moyan" peak that day, and it was because of the big green snake that Xiaojiu was attracted.
The golden cobra seemed to be secretly surprised. How could the crane in front of him be so tall, more than nine feet long. After a moment of confrontation, the golden cobra hesitated, and wanted to fight and escape, sometimes raised his upper body, sometimes pounced on his back.
Seeing this, Xiao Jiu flashed his golden eyes, waved his giant wings and rolled up a strong wind, which immediately swept his sand and stones, making his eyes charming. Then, with the help of the wind, he rushed forward with a loud panic.
Before the golden cobra could react, the iron beak was hit hard on its head, and blood splattered everywhere, and the brain burst and died.
Xiaojiu did not let it go, but pecked at the slightly trembling and curling snake body again. After finding the right position, he took out the snake gall, tilted his neck and swallowed it, turned around, and then lowered his voice to the stunned Chu Qing, stretched his neck, shook it twice, and signaled to look behind her.
Chu Qing understood it in a slight way and slowly turned around. It turned out that there was a three-foot-high tree behind her. Although the tree was not tall, it was very strange. There was no main pole. It was lush and lush. The leaves on the branches were like small snakes, curved, and at the top of the branches, there were golden fruits, which were as big as longans and elliptical.
Chu Qing looked at it for a while, pointed to the tree, turned her head to Xiaojiu and said, "Xiaojiu, do you want me to pick these fruits?"
Xiaojiu nodded, walked to Chu Qing, and whispered.
Chu Qing walked forward, came to the branch, reached out to pick a few fruits, and took them in the middle of her hand to see that the fruit was covered with golden yellow, transparent, and the inner veins were clearly visible. Looking at the sunlight, there seemed to be liquid flowing slowly inside. Put it in your mouth and bit it gently. At first, it felt a bit hot, but later it was extremely sweet.
Chu Qing was happy while eating wild fruits, so she wanted to pick a few more, but suddenly she remembered her hurry and did not bring any bags.
When he turned around, he found the mountain flowers and weeds beside the rocks. He remembered that when he was young, his mother used wild grass to weave a basket and carried herself with her garlands of mountain flowers to put them around her neck. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and turned around and said, "Xiaojiu, I'll give you a beautiful thing later."
After saying that, he walked up, pulled out many mountain flowers and weavings, and first weaving a wreath of mountain flowers. Red, pink, blue, yellow, and all kinds of flowers were intertwined, which looked very beautiful. Then he summoned Xiaojiu to go over and put the wreath around Xiaojiu's neck.
Xiaojiu liked it very much, and for a moment, he shouted and danced happily.
Later, Chu Qing weaves a basket with weeds. The basket is not as complicated as a garland. It has been made after several transformations. Although it cannot be compared with the ones she made by her mother back then, she can finally hold things. She is a little satisfied with her gratitude.
Chu Qing carried the basket and picked a basket full of wild fruits. At this time, she looked up at the distance, but when she saw the setting sun set and the sky was getting late, she said to Xiaojiu again: "These wild fruits have been eaten for a few days. Let's go back quickly. Maybe Brother Feng has already returned."
Xiaojiu nodded, let out a low voice, and then carried Chu Qing on her back, reflected the sunset and flew back towards Yusun Peak.
In a moment, Yusun Peak was approaching, and Chu Qing saw Jinsi Xiaozhu's doors and windows closed in the air, and it was pitch black. She knew that the wind and bamboo had not returned yet, and she felt a little disappointed.
After landing slowly, Chu Qing was afraid that the wild fruits would erode the ground air, so she thought about it and thought it was appropriate to let the cave in the back mountain fallen water, so she turned to the cave and said, "Xiao Jiu, I want to go to the cave in the back mountain to meditate. If you have something to do, go to the cave in the back mountain to find me." Seeing that Xiao Jiu nodded and agreed, she walked around the house, passed through the bamboo forest, and came to the cave in the back mountain fallen water.
At this time, the night was getting deeper and the moonlight was like water, pouring down from the cracks of the rocks on the top of the cave. The cave fell into the water was bathed in a peaceful and clear light. The basket of wild fruits was shining with golden light, reflecting the girl's fair face. Chu Qing counted out five more pieces on the stone bed for dinner, and the rest and the basket were placed next to the water jar on the inside of the stone bed.
When he turned around, Chu Qing opened her eyes wide and curiously watched the wild fruits that looked particularly crystal clear on the stone bed. He thought that the green mountain was really strange. He had met demons here, and had accidentally entered the underground palace. Now he had picked such strange wild fruits. Of course, the most important thing was that he met Brother Feng Shuzhu here. When he thought of Brother Feng Shuzhu, a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face, and naturally he remembered the things that Brother's advice to practice diligently. So he casually placed the wild fruits on one end of the stone bed against the entrance of the cave, and then fell to the wall of the word "pass" seriously and sat down.
Shortly after Chu Qing sat down, her thinking consciousness gradually became blurred, as if she was about to enter that illusion state again. But suddenly, a serene voice came from his ears, as if someone had walked into the cave. He thought it was Xiaojiu, maybe he was worried about it, so he walked over and took a look, and ignored it, but continued to meditate. But just as he was about to enter the illusion, he heard the sound of "snoring" in his ears, as if a little wild cat was sleeping beside him.
Chu Qing felt surprised and vaguely felt something was strange. She opened her eyes suddenly, turned her head to look over, but found nothing. At the moment she withdrew her gaze, she couldn't help but make a surprise sound. Suddenly, she saw that there were only three wild fruits left on the stone bed, and she clearly remembered that she had put five. Could it be that the wild fruit would run away by itself?
Chu Qing stood up and searched all the stone bed, inside and outside the stone cave, but there was no trace. She couldn't help but wonder even more. Could it be that Xiaojiu was joking with him? Thinking of this, she took the basket and the remaining three wild fruits, and turned back to the front of the house. Xiaojiu was sleeping soundly, and she woke up Xiaojiu and said, "Xiaojiu, have you been to the back mountain?"
Xiaojiu was stunned for a moment, shook her head, indicating that there was no.
Chu Qing vaguely felt that Xiaojiu's expression was indeed credible, but she still asked unwillingly: "Didn't you take my wild fruit?"
Xiaojiu was stunned for a moment, and stretched out his neck to Chu Qing's hand, indicating that the wild fruit would not be in your hand.
Chu Qing frowned slightly and said, "I remember putting five wild fruits on the stone bed, but for some reason, two were missing."
When Xiaojiu heard this, he seemed to think for a moment, shook his head again, stretched out the crane's neck and whistled loudly.
Chu Qing immediately thought that Xiaojiu was a snake-eating person, and it was useless to get this wild fruit, so she became even more puzzled. She had no interest in meditating in the back mountain, so she carried the basket and walked back to the room, but she did not notice that at the corner of the back room, a small black shadow was so scared that she ran away in panic when she heard Xiaojiu's loud crane sound.
Chu Qing returned to the room with doubt, and her eyes fell on the wild fruits in her hands again. At this time, the night was deep, and the bright moon was passing through the window, and the soft moonlight shone down, covering the whole room with a mysterious veil, like a dream, and the wild fruits were shining with golden light, which was very beautiful.
Chu Qing felt his heart moving, lifted the basket up and held it in front of her, and opened her mouth wide. She saw that the wild fruits in the basket were all shining with golden light. At this time, the straw basket was like a treasure pot. Then she had an idea and had a magical idea. She took out the wild fruits in the basket one by one and placed them on the table in order. After a while, they were placed into a heart shape. A smile was hung on the corner of her mouth, nodded, and placed her ten fingers tightly on her chest, as if she was extremely satisfied with her "masterpiece".
On such a wonderful moonlit night, a girl's innocent heart shines with golden glory, as if she remembers the person she loves the most, and perhaps she is also caring about the person she wants to see the most.
Outside the window, the mountain breeze blew gently, bringing the rustling sound in the bamboo forest to my ears, as if it were a whisper in my lover, and as if it was a message deep in my heart. Chu Qing's bright watery eyes looked at the "golden soul" in front of her, and was stunned and confused.
With a "gu" sound, Xiaojiu's low moan came from outside the window. Chu Qing came to her senses and listened to her ears for a while. After seeing no movement, she smiled knowingly. She thought it was Xiaojiu's "bums", but now she had been wandering for a long time and remembered the "purr" sound in the water cave. She clearly heard the sound of a kitten sleeping, but why didn't she see anything? Could it be that this wild fruit itself would change? Thinking of this, I suddenly had another idea, so I crept on the bed, covered the quilt tightly, and only a small slit was exposed, hiding inside and secretly monitoring the wild fruit on the table.
But she didn't know that she was still very focused at the beginning, but as the moon shadow tilted, her consciousness gradually became blurred. It was really hard to get sick, and she fell asleep a few times without realizing it, but she forced herself to keep opening her eyes, but she fell asleep accidentally in the end.
It was already noon when it woke up. Chu Qing rubbed her eyes and looked at the sky outside the window that was bright and dazzling. Her eyes accidentally fell on the table. Seeing the yellow wild fruit, she suddenly remembered her important matter last night. She jumped out of bed and came to the table. She looked carefully at the "heart" shape of wild fruits on the table and the remaining wild fruits in the basket. She seemed to be missing. She was even more confused. Could it be that only in the water cave can this wild fruit be lost? With questions, Chu Qing simply washed up, ate a few wild fruits, counted out five carefully, put the remaining ones back into the basket, and went out of the house with the wild fruits. After searching for a long time, she could not see Xiao Jiu. She thought that she must have gone out to catch the snake again, so she ignored it and walked to the water cave alone.
When he walked to the bamboo forest next to the entrance of the cave, Chu Qing accidentally found some yellow fruit peels. He moved his heart and squatted down. He picked it up and looked at it. He immediately widened his eyes. This was the skin of the wild fruit he had picked. After careful observation, he found that there were still some footprints on the soil, shaped like claw prints. After measuring it with his own hands, it was less than the size of his palm.
At this time, Chu Qing naturally figured out everything. Some little animal stole his wild fruit. When he was searching near the entrance of the cave last night, it must have been hidden in the grass. It was so cunning. Moreover, he even spit out the skin when eating it. When he ate it, he washed it all and swallowed it. The more he thought about it, the more angry he felt, he thought I must catch you. So he walked into the water cave again and placed the wild fruit next to the stone bed. Qiao Mo fell to sit up like a choke, but secretly pricked up his ears and raised his spirit to pay attention to the wind and movements around him. However, an hour passed, except for the sound of "dingdong, dingdong" in his ears, the "snoring, snoring" sound that made him yearn for never appear.
Maybe the little animal ran away after eating her full last night. It was really in vain. Thinking of this, Chu Qing couldn't help but sigh and turned her head to look out of the cave. It didn't matter when she saw it, but she was shocked. Why did she miss two more wild fruits!
Chu Qing turned around and counted carefully. Indeed, there were only three wild fruits left. Chu Qing hurriedly jumped off the stone bed and searched around. Sure enough, she saw the peel in the grass near the cave. It was obvious that it had just been eaten, and the claw mark extended from the mud to the bluestone pavement and disappeared.
A feeling of being teased rose in my heart, but I felt a little bit self-blame. Why was it so stupid that I only listened with my ears but looked at it without my eyes! This little animal is really cunning, even more cunning than our foxes. I must catch it. Chu Qing thought about this and felt that it would be feasible. After thinking about it, she couldn't help but remember what my mother told her when she was young that the hunter had trapped a fox for catching foxes, but she didn't know how to make a beast trap. It was too cruel. It was creepy when she thought about it. She really felt inappropriate, so she continued to think of it. Suddenly, she thought that her mother also brought up a rope trap, and she had made a demonstration. She only needed a rope, a branch, etc., and she would not hurt the small animal.
Pay attention to it, Chu Qing ran back to the house happily, searched for a long time, and finally found a hemp rope. She happily took the rope and walked towards the waterhole. While walking, she tied the rope knot. When she walked to the bamboo forest outside the waterhole, she thought of making a rope trap. She needed to tie the other end of the rope to a solid tree. She looked for a thicker bamboo, tied the rope, and then spread the rope cover in the grass. She tried it with her hands, gently pulled it, and the rope cover was tightened. Everything was ready. Just wait for the "fish" to take the hook. Chu Qing smiled with satisfaction. The next step was to place the bait. No need to think about it, the bait was the yellow wild fruit. Only then did she suddenly remember that she forgot the remaining three wild fruits in the waterhole.
An ominous premonition came, and Chu Qing ran over quickly. She thought that she should have seen the sunlight sprinkle from a ray of sky on the top of the cave. The entire waterfall cave was bathed in the soft sunlight. However, the fact is that at the entrance of the waterfall cave, a gray-brown, about one foot tall, and a short, fat and solid animal, to be precise, should be a mini-version bear, standing upright, holding a wild fruit in each of its front paws, and looking at Chu Qing with a surprised look, both of them were stunned at the time.
"You steal my wild fruit." Perhaps because of excitement or anger, Chu Qing actually said something human to the "little fat bear". After hearing this, the little animal looked down at her left and right "hands", and actually made a move that made Chu Qing open her mouth wide. The "little fat bear" put the wild fruit in her pocket on her belly.
Chu Qing suddenly felt extremely magical, and was stunned for a moment, and said excitedly: "Hey, why do you have a pocket on your belly?"
The "little fat bear" did not give any answer, but took advantage of Chu Qing's shock, put down his front paws, spread his hands and feet, and actually ran into the bamboo forest like a flash.
Chu Qing was stunned and realized that the "little bear" was about to run, so she followed her and chased her.
The "little fat bear" was extremely smart. He seemed to know that he was short and fat and moved slowly, so he did not go to open the ground, but instead turned around in this bamboo forest and ran forward.
Chu Qing chased after him, while keeping a close eye on the figure of the "little fat bear", she also had to be wary of the oncoming bamboo. It was a big trouble and could not run fast.
Each person and the "little fat bear" chased after him so quickly. After chasing him for a long time, Chu Qing thought that if she continued like this, she would never be able to chase him. So she had an idea. After standing still, she suddenly rotated quickly, turned into a whirlwind and soared into the air, and rushed to the "little fat bear" and left.
When the "little fat bear" turned around, he suddenly saw Chu Qing turning into a whirlwind, and opened her mouth wide, as if she was extremely surprised, but when she saw the whirlwind coming towards her, she escaped from the bamboo forest in panic and fled along the stone road towards the "Moon Sea" on the right side of the house.
The "Moon Sea" was originally a huge rock stretching out from the top of the peak, facing a deep abyss. The surface of the huge rock was flat and smooth. The "Little Fat Bear" was in a panic and escaped. He couldn't hold back his short and fat body for a moment, and he was about to fall off a cliff and be crushed to pieces.
Chu Qing saw it from behind, and felt anxious, and appeared in her figure. She looked gloomy and shouted in disgust: "Be careful!" She subconsciously stretched out her hand and wanted to pull the "Little Fat Bear".
Between the light of light, a ray of light flew out from his wrist, facing the "Little Fat Bear", forming a wall of light. The "Little Fat Bear" suddenly hit the wall of light, and with a "bang", it bounced back, and lying on the huge rock with four legs facing the sky. After a while, he shook his head a few times, as if he was pretending to be dizzy.
When Chu Qing calmed down, she saw that it was the wall of light emitted by Ruo Zhirou. She immediately understood that in a hurry, she touched Ruo Zhirou again. It seemed that the "little fat bear" was hit hard, but in the end she was in danger of life, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
The "little fat bear" stood up, looked at Chu Qing, and then looked at the light wall behind him. It seemed that it was Chu Qing who saved his life. After a while, he took out two wild fruits from his pocket with his claws, grinned and held them with his claws, and held them in front of Chu Qing. It seemed that he wanted to return the wild fruits, and he looked extremely cute.
To be continued...
