Chapter 1 Four of the Chu Family
Shu Mountain has existed in the world since the opening of heaven and earth, with colorful clouds and abundant aura all day long. Birds and beasts sing together on the mountain, and all kinds of strange flowers and grasses compete with each other. The scenery is beautiful and the earth is outstanding.
Such a spiritual place should have been the best place for Taoism. However, the land of Shu deviates from the Central Plains, and the terrain is extremely steep. Therefore, Shu Mountain has almost become a chicken rib place, and no one cares about it.
At the foot of Shu Mountain, there is a small village with only more than 20 households and less than 100 people. Relying on the small barren land opened up in this rocky land and hunting for a living, life is extremely poor.
It is said that the residents here moved from the Central Plains to avoid the war during the North-South War and fell at the foot of Shu Mountain.
At this time, it was the evening of early spring, and the cool breeze was still a little chilly. All the families in the village were angry with the smoke. After a day of hard work, the villagers returned home one after another, or lay on their backs to rest, wait for their wives's dinner, or packed their prey to count the harvest of the day.
"Dad, why did you come back so late today?" A five or six-year-old girl stood in front of the hut and asked softly, looking at the middle-aged man from far to near.
"Tianling, my good daughter!" The middle-aged man reached out and picked up the girl, kissed her immature face, and laughed, "My daughter still thought of me and waited for my father at the door early in the morning, haha!"
The middle-aged man's name is Chu Yun. He is the most talented hunter in the village. Shu Mountain is rich in prey, and there are many wolves and beasts. Many hunters have encountered wolves when hunting, either dead or disabled, and have suffered a sad life.
However, Chu Yun has never been besieged by wolves. Some wolves saw him dodge far away. The nearby villagers were relieved and admired him, believing that Chu Yun was born to be the nemesis of wolves.
However, Chu Yun knew the reason for this, entirely because of the snow-white snow wolf king he raised in his home, which was saved by Chu Yun when he was hunting in the mountains.
That day coincided with the continuous heavy rain. The landslide of the mountain caused the wolf to be hit by a boulder and almost killed him. Seeing the plea in his eyes, Chu Yun was soft-hearted for a moment, so he brought him into his home to heal his wounds. Until he recovered, the Wolf King did not leave, but settled in the Chu family.
Later, I learned that this wolf was the king of the snow wolves in Shu Mountain. Because he got along with him all day long, his body was more or less stained with the breath of the wolf king, so he was also free from being watched by the wolves.
"Dad! I got some prey back today!" A seven or eight-year-old boy with beautiful eyebrows but a little evil spirit also came out of the house. When he saw Chu Yun, he asked.
"You son of a bitch is not as clever as your sister. You don't even know how to care about your father who has worked hard all day!" Chu Yun pretended to be angry and looked at his son Chu Tianyu and said.
Chu Tianyu was unaware of his father's eyes and said carelessly, "Who is my father? The well-known hunter will definitely be fine. Besides, even the wolf is afraid of you, not to mention other beasts!" Chu Tianyu was only seven or eight years old, and he actually said these words, especially in the tone of talking to his father, which swept away the obedientness of his peers to his father, which was really a little strange.
"Tianyu, how do you talk to your father?" A middle-aged beautiful woman came out of the house with a pot of cooked dinner. She happened to hear the conversation between Chu Yun and Chu Tianyu and immediately said something educational.
"It doesn't matter!" Chu Yun laughed and said, "I just like my son's casual behavior, with my style!"
"You! That's how he spoiled him. Sooner or later, he will be spoiled by you. A father and son are not so big or small!" The middle-aged beautiful woman looked at Chu Yun with some resentment and said.
"Haha, all right! After a tiring day, it's time to eat. Girl, go wash your hands and taste your mother's cooking. I haven't eaten enough for more than ten years! By the way, son, get a bowl for the greedy wolf first. It is our lucky star, and we can't treat it badly! Come on, girl, sit on your father." Chu Yun laughed and reached out to pick up Chu Tianling and put him on his knee.
The family of four was happy. After a dinner, Chu Yun slaughtered the prey, distributed it equally into a few points, and carefully wrapped it in oil paper.
"Do you still want to send these to Huzi's house?" His wife Xiao Yuling walked behind her husband and asked softly.
"Yes!" Chu Yun glanced at his wife, and a trace of gentleness flashed in his eyes and said, "Huzi went early and left this orphan and widowed mother. Usually, we can't fill our stomachs. We can only help them with these! It's just that you and your two children suffer with me in vain.
"You! We have held up for more than ten years and said that it is not bitter. As long as our family is together and live a happy life, such a day is what I want most!" Xiao Yuling said softly.
"Yu Ling, I..." Chu Yun was a little moved. Fang wanted to speak, but he was covered by Xiao Yuling and said with a smile, "Well, it's so old that you are still so wordy. Send this meat to Huzi's house while it's not too late!"
"Let Tianyu go! This boy usually eats so much meat for nothing, and he is the only two men in the family who won't let him do something. I'm a little unbalanced!" Chu Yun smiled.
"Look at you, which father says his son like you! Tianyu is only seven years old. It's so late and the road is not easy to walk. How can you rest assured that he can go alone? Xiao Yuling retorted.
Chu Yun hugged his wife and said with a smile, "Haha! I'm just saying that this little bastard is not big or small with me, but he is very timid. Even if he lets him go, he dares not agree!" After saying that, Chu Yun gave Xiao Yuling a wink and pouted in the direction of the door.
Xiao Yuling stared and saw a faint figure in the room through the cracks of the wooden door, not Chu Tianyu, but who came.
Xiao Yuling gently pinched Chu Yun's waist, and his eyes were a little strange.
Chu Yun smiled hoarsely and gave his eyes to his wife again, signaling him not to be clear. He continued to say, "I tell you, Chu Tianyu always thinks he is a man, but what about it? There is no man with courage at all, he--"
"Who said I didn't have the courage? Humph, don't use the exciting method anymore. You already knew that I was hiding outside the door, so you don't have to say that to provoke me. Don't worry, leave it to me this time!" Chu Tianyu pushed the door in, walked to his father and smiled.
"Yoh! Son, you are really outside! Haha! You'd better not go. Look, there are a lot of jackals, tigers and leopards on this road. In case you are scared, your mother won't fight with me! But don't worry! Son, Dad is definitely not looking down on you this time. Don't worry!" Chu Yun smiled and kept wincing at his wife.
"I heard you say that, and it seems that there is something wrong!" Chu Tianyu said strangely, "But I won't give you a chance to make fun of me. Humph, I'm going to make up this time!" After saying that, he looked at Chu Yun with some pride.
"Son, I heard from my mother that your father is joking. It's so late and the road is not easy to walk. Listen to my mother's words, don't go!" Xiao Yuling gave Chu Yun a white look and said to Chu Tianyu.
"Don't worry! Mother, there is a greedy wolf to accompany me! It will be fine. I will never let that person have the opportunity to laugh at me!" Chu Tianyu looked at his father and said to Chu Tianyu.
"Alas? I said, you are quite vigilant!" Chu Yun said aside again.
"That's it! I'm your son. You have trained me so strictly since I was a child. How can I disappoint you? Chu Tianyu smiled, picked up the wrapped animal meat, turned around and walked out of the door.
"Look at you, why don't you look like a father at all? Well, Tianyu's stubborn temper came up, and you can't stop him even if you stop him!" Xiao Yuling said angrily.
"Don't worry! Yu Ling, it's not that you haven't seen the ability of the greedy wolf. I'm afraid that the tigers and leopards in the mountains are not its opponents. Tianyu will be safe with its protection!" Chu Yun said with a smile on his face.
"You are such a hippie smile. If Tianyu is hurt a little this time, I will ask you! Just wait to drink the northwest wind!" Xiao Yuling pouted and said, obviously still angry with Chu Yun.
"Okay, okay, go and see Tianling! This girl is still young. Don't let him run around. It's not good if she is infected with the wind and cold!" Seeing that his wife never gave herself a good face, Chu Yun hurriedly took his daughter and said in a sloppy eye.
"You'd better pray that Tianyu will be fine, otherwise, I will definitely look good for you!" Xiao Yuling complained again and walked out of the door.
" greedy wolf, do you feel a little cold!" After all, Chu Tianyu is only a seven-year-old child. Walking alone on the path in the deep mountains, he can't help but be a little scared, especially the constant whispers of crows.
Chu Tianyu couldn't help shrinking to the greedy wolf's side. The greedy wolf twisted his snow-white head and saw Chu Tianyu leaning against him and sticking out his tongue on his arm for a few times, as if to comfort him!
"Don't worry! Greedy wolf, with you, I won't be afraid!" Chu Tianyu shouted twice to strengthen his courage and put one on the greedy wolf beside him. It seemed that only in this way could he feel that he was not lonely.
Due to the complex terrain of Shushan, the places where villagers live are also scattered, and the Huzi family is also not close to Chu Yun's family.
After walking for a while, Chu Tianyu's fear gradually faded, and suddenly felt an extremely exciting feeling. While looking around, the greedy wolf around him suddenly stopped!
"Oh--" The greedy wolf looked up to the sky and howled, his eyes were full of caution. He protected Tianyu behind him, and his blue eyes stared closely at the front.
"Wow--" A fishy wind came to his nose. Chu Tianyu didn't have time to try to look at it through the moonlight. A white-fronted tiger didn't know when it stood in the way and stared at himself, and its slender fangs were shining with a trace of cold light.
