When the rooster crows, the world becomes white.

On the white hills in the distance, the morning sun climbed up energetically, and it was very dazzling. In the small villages in the north, farmers had little work in the cold winter. Although they did not have to work in the fields in winter, they still had to get up early after all.

In the past, the kang was also cold, and the firewood had heated the kang, and there were so many holes in the house waiting for the hot meal in the morning. So why was the old rooster only here to announce the dawn? It was also to remind the owner not to forget to get up and feed.

.The life in the village is so simple and ordinary, full of the atmosphere of human fireworks.

Whether it's watching the rising smoke, listening to the sound of falling winter snow, or taking a bite of the steaming sweet rice cake, in short, every feeling is very familiar to Xiao Wangyun.

Everything that makes him feel at ease, what he sees, what he hears, what he eats...everything he feels makes him feel extremely comfortable, for no other reason than that it all contains a strong sense of home.

smell.

Wang Yun quietly crawled out of bed, wearing animal skin shoes and a cotton robe sewn by his mother, and ran out the door, the snow crunching under his feet. He ignored the biting cold in the early morning in the north,

I grabbed a handful of snow from the wall, held a snow ball in both hands, turned around and ran into the house. Maybe it was because it was too cold. I ran back much faster than when I ran out. The white dog in the yard was not there yet.

When he had time to act coquettishly with him, he had already returned to the house. His little hand holding the snowball was red from the cold. He tiptoed to the grass heated kang, lifted up the quilt and threw the snowball in!

"Ah!!! You monkey! I can't spare you!"

Like a thunder strike, a boy jumped up from under the quilt. He shouted loudly. Regardless of whether he was cold or not, he jumped down and picked up Wang Yun. He threw it on the kang and took off his cotton-padded clothes. He picked up the quilt.

The slowly melting snow ball inside was stuffed directly onto Wang Yun's neck, and then he wiped it down smoothly. The snow ball, carrying the melted ice water, went straight to his bare belly. Wang Yun immediately said:

"No more fun, no more fun! Stop it, Daniel!"

The young man didn't know what it was like to feel sad, and rolled into a ball laughing and joking. Another little head stuck out from the quilt at the end of the warm grass bed, with red lips and white teeth, and two slightly frizzy braids. When he woke up from his morning dream, the little girl rubbed her eyes and puffed.

smile.

There was an inextricable commotion in the house. Outside the cowshed, a thin man wearing a dark animal skin coat was holding hay to feed Lao Huang. He didn't know what kind of animal skin the leather coat was made of. When the man turned around, the morning sun shone on him.

You can see the dark glittering light reflected from the animal skin clothes, like metal armor. In the cold and icy winter weather, the sweat all over the man's body turned into bursts of white mist, and his angular face looked particularly resolute.

The woman next to him has beautiful eyebrows and a tall figure. Her hair is casually pulled into a bun with a smooth animal bone hairpin. She is wearing a floral short coat and is holding a long pole in her hand to pick out the hanging string.

Frozen animal meat under the eaves.

The Liu family, a family of five, lives in this peaceful little village.

This village is called Lijiacun. It is located in the northern region of Jingyang Dynasty and is under the jurisdiction of Lingshuang City. The village is below Chigong Ridge. Although the village is not big, the name of Chigong Ridge next to the village is really significant. According to legend, this is

In the Hanku Northland, there was a well-known Master of the Juntian Realm. He fought fiercely for fourteen days and nights and slaughtered an ancient ferocious beast that caused trouble to the people - the Poison-horned Candle Dragon. However, this god-like dragon-slaying hero himself was seriously injured and died from exhaustion.

Death, the big red bow in his hand turned into this mountain, protecting this area of ​​life.

Although it is difficult to tell whether the legend is true or false, today, Chigong Ridge is the junction of the northern domain of Jingyang Dynasty and Youwei Kingdom. A pass city wall has been built at the foot of the ridge, and there are Jingyang Chaoyun in Chigong Pass all year round.

The army guarded it. When the Jingyang Dynasty destroyed the Qihan Dynasty, it also ceased war with Youwei. For the past seven years, the two have been at peace with each other and there has been no war.

The man who feeds the cattle is named Liu Wu. He settled in this northern cold place with his family during the founding of the Jingyang Dynasty. There are more than seventy households in the Li family village, and most of them have the surname Li. Countryside people are simple in nature, and Liu Wu is a

Enthusiastic people, no matter who has big or small affairs in the village, Liu Wu will be there with just a greeting, and he is very skillful in helping with work. Liu Wu is also the only hunter in the village, and he has gained a lot from hunting animals in the mountains, including fur and animal meat.

The money he sells is not only used for his own food and exchanged in the market, but also given to his neighbors. Over the years, he has become an indispensable member of the village. The country people are very illiterate, and everyone calls him "Lao Wu".

Lao Wu is Lao Wu, so Liu Wu will not explain.

Liu Wu and his wife An Shi have three children, the eldest Liu Heiniu (Daniu), the second Liu Wangyun (Monkey), and the third Liu Xiaolin (Nizi). They are all smart and smart. The children followed their father.

Mom has an easy-going personality. Whenever she sees her elders, she greets her like uncle, mother, and grandpa. For this reason, she often receives snacks to satisfy her cravings.

They were tired of making trouble and shouting enough. The two naughty boys knew that if they continued to make trouble, they would inevitably end up being scolded by their father. They looked at each other and smiled, stopped and stood up. They each packed their own bedding. Good luck again.

Helping his four-year-old sister Xiaolin to dress and wear hats, Hei Niu also folded her sister's bedding. The three children were neatly dressed. Although the cotton clothes and pants were old and a little white, they were washed clean. As the saying goes, dad always hangs clothes.

The words on his lips:

"Being flashy and flashy is of no use; being as good as you are on the outside and inside shows your virtue."

Although the children are young, they remember their father's teachings firmly.

The three children ran out, said good morning to their parents, and after washing up, the two boys helped their mother to hold firewood, put fire, carry water and carry bowls, but the little girl was walking around behind her father, Bai Quan vigorously

Wagging her tail, she followed, and from time to time she nudged the little master's hand with her nose. Although Xiao Nizi didn't have much food to throw to her, for her, just touching her head with her little hand was enough to make her happy for half a day.

Sweet potato porridge, yellow rice cakes, pickled pickled vegetables, and a plate of roasted wolf meat with red balls. The family of five finished their breakfast. An Sanniang cleaned up the dishes, Daniu Houer went to help his father pack the hunting equipment, and Nizi secretly

She ran to Bai Quan, squatted down, spread out her greasy hands, and in her hands were two pieces of wolf meat that she was reluctant to eat, and whispered:

"Shh... Bitter melon, bitter gourd, eat it quickly, don't let daddy find out."

The white dog named Balsam Pear lowered his eyebrows and looked carefully. He stretched out his tongue and licked the meat, which was already in his belly. Now he wagged his tail even harder. The little girl stood up with a smile and stroked the head of Balsam Pear, but she used the dog's head as a towel.

The grease on his hands was wiped clean. Fortunately, the white dog didn't care. In fact, it had already eaten breakfast. The owner got up early and rewarded him with a large piece of mountain pig spine with bones and meat. At the moment, it just took care of itself.

Enjoying the company of my little master.

Everything was packed over there, including bows and arrows, daggers, bags of dry food, a silver-white steel gun, and a shiny red wine gourd. Liu Wu tightened his belt, turned around and said to his two sons:

"Go to Mr. Lin's place later and tell him that we will have a drink together when I come back tonight. I will definitely bring him his favorite snow deer and ask him to take out the jar of drunk Sanqiu that he has hidden and wait for me."

The bulls and monkeys all claimed that they were, and then they shouted that one wanted the rabbit, and the other wanted the fire bird. Liu Wu smiled and said yes, raised his head and shouted:

"Sanniang, I'm going to watch Nizi!"

Sanniang said hello, Liu Wu turned around and strode away from the hospital. The white fur of the bitter melon stood against the white snow, and then he ran away.

Danuhouer and Nizi built a big snowman. The two brothers and their sister circled around the snowman, which made Nizi giggle uncontrollably. It was not until noon that Danuhouer and his mother made a big snowman.

I brought a bag of pickled pickled vegetables and went straight to Mr. Lin's house.

Mr. Lin moved here three years ago and is a knowledgeable person in the village. Whether it is correspondence between various families, spring couplets with blessing characters, fortune telling, or fortune telling, there is nothing Mr. Lin is not good at. The villagers respect people who read.

, men, women, old and young all respected him as "Sir", but no one asked Mr. Lin what his name was.

This person likes to be quiet by nature. Although the villagers come to ask for help, he will basically help with writing and calculation. However, he speaks very little and does not like to talk. When he first came here three years ago, he chose a small place at the foot of the mountain at the east entrance of the village.

He settled in Shanwa and lived alone, so he had his own free and easy world. Over time, the villagers knew that he didn't like liveliness, so they wouldn't bother him when nothing happened. Only from time to time, some people would bring some fruits, vegetables, rice and meat. Most of them

It is also placed at the entrance of the courtyard, and it is enough to say hello through the low earth courtyard wall.

Although Mr. Lin likes peace and quiet, he is not as good as others, but he only loves the snow deer belly, which is a specialty of the northern region. Liu Wu is not a stingy person. Whenever he hunts snow deer, he will invite Mr. Lin to eat and drink with him.

When Mr. Lin eats meat, he will eat wine, and when he eats wine, he will get drunk. When he is drunk, he will completely open up the conversation box. At this time, the three children are listening to Mr. Lin talking about ancient times and the present, and they are very fascinated. Mr. Lin also likes the three children.

He was a clever child who would often tell anecdotes to them. In this way, as time went by, the two families became more and more familiar with each other.

The Liu family is in the west of the village. The Bull Monkey walked and made noises towards Mr. Lin's house. The village was not big at all, and they arrived after a short while. The two urchins became naughty again and wanted to secretly see what Mr. Lin was doing at home.

, are you dozing off again but insisting that you are meditating on the great road in the book?

The two of them quietly ran outside the courtyard door of Mr. Lin's house, only to find that the courtyard door was wide open. They looked at each other strangely, and walked into the courtyard together. They suddenly saw Mr. Lin lying at the door of the room, with his legs inside the door.

Outside the door, two stiff arms were stretched out straight, and ten pale fingers were clawing at the soil in the shape of hooks. It looked like they had been exhausted for a long time! The big bull monkey stood on the spot for a moment. After a moment, the two urchins

I was so frightened that I threw away my bag of pickled vegetables and ran out of the hospital while crawling and crying.

Yes, the living Mr. Lin is certainly amiable and respectable, but at this moment, Mr. Lin is lying there, with a huge patch of red snow under him, which frightens the two country children so much that they almost lose their consciousness!

[Author's digression]: It is a great honor for a new writer to meet you.

I was deeply influenced by the hero Jin Yong. I have read the book for many years, and this is the first time I have written a long novel.

However, the writing is crude and it is difficult to match Mr. Jin’s skills. I can only try my best to write this story carefully.

If there are any shortcomings, incomprehensibility or oversights during this process, I hope all readers will leave your valuable comments. I will definitely learn from it with an open mind and will never be self-righteous.

The good and evil discussed in this book are only conclusions drawn from the life experiences of the characters in the book.

What is the law of heaven? Who is good and who is evil? Shakespeare once said that there will be a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers.

I am not trying to argue with you about right or wrong here, I just hope that everything we encounter in life can be treated with care.

What I can write is just to encourage you.
Chapter completed!
