Chapter 1 First Encounter

Wandering around the world, traveling all over the world; riding the wind with the sword, raising the glass to invite the moon. Even if you wander around the world alone, you should laugh at Wang Sun and drink dew.

To be a legendary sword fairy - this is Chu Tian's childhood dream.

However, at this moment, his only thought is to be able to live!

In the middle of winter, the wind roars and snowflakes are flying. The sky and the earth are wrapped in silver, vast and lonely.

Chu Tian lost his way and ran desperately in the dense primitive forest for a moment.

The sad wolf howling is getting closer and closer, which is a life-and-death chase without any suspense. A teenager who has just turned nine years old, although he was born and grew up in the depths of the mountains and has been hunting bears with his parents since he was six years old. No matter how flexible his body and amazing his speed is in the forest, he can deal with a group of hungry wolves. The end of his hunting is doomed, such as a besieged wild deer - can't escape.

The air in the lungs has almost been emptied, like two battered bellows. Chu Tian made the final struggle in vain.

The wolf howled closer, but Chu Tian's vision gradually became chaotic. The surrounding scenery was shaking and spinning, and the sky became darker and darker.

Suddenly, Chu Tian saw a white figure wandering around not far away, holding a child wrapped in a thick blanket in his arms.

"Run, the wolves are coming!" Chu Tian shouted and subconsciously changed his direction and tried to lead the wolf away to the left. But he didn't want to turn around in a hurry. His body couldn't help him. He fell down with a plop and rolled to the man's feet.

"Oh--" A hungry wolf rushed into the air eagerly, and its sharp front claws were like a sheathed steel knife inserted into Chu Tian.

Chu Tian saw the ferocious eyes of the hungry wolf, and his heart was not as scared as he thought.

Grandpa once said when he was alive: A good hunter is not destined to die of old age. Just like those generals who have experienced many battles, the horse leather shroud is his ultimate destination of glory and dream.

Three days later, Grandpa died. A big wild boar suddenly burst out of the bushes and poked his lower abdomen with its tusks, and his stomach flowed all over the ground. He was exhausted and fell less than three miles away from his home.

"Bum!" A beam of crystal clear blue light like emerald passed Chu Tian's body and accurately smashed the hard skull of the hungry wolf. It felt like someone easily pierced the fragile egg shell with a sharp cone.

The scarlet wolf blood and thick brain plasma splashed out together, and Chu Tian's eyes couldn't help closing.

The howls of the wolves around them rise one after another, from anger to fear, from fear to despair.

It was just a breath, the noise in Chu Tian's ear became quiet, so quiet that he could hear the falling snowflakes and his own heavy gasps.

Chu Tian opened his eyes in surprise. Twenty-three hungry wolves, which were originally ferocious and greedy, had instantly become scattered and fragmented corpses. Dark red blood penetrated into the white snow, and there was an unpleasant and pungent smell in the air.

There was no living and complete wolf body in the field of vision, and a pair of ice-green boots slowly approached Chu Tian.

Chu Tian stared at it. In the snow, the woman's white skirt seemed to be integrated with heaven and earth. The foggy white face was shrouded in the sadness of the moonlight, and the slim and graceful figure passed directly past Chu Tian and continued to move forward for a moment. There was a little girl lying obediently in the thick blanket, and half of her little red face was exposed, as if she had slept very well.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Chu Tian stood up with great effort and shouted at the white back. He wanted to thank her for saving her life, and also wanted to tell her that there were beasts in the forest that were more fierce than wolves. They lost their direction and roads. Even the best hunters might die.

However, Chu Tian's call did not make her turn back, let alone stop. Chu Tian was sure that she could hear it, but she didn't seem to want to pay attention to Chu Tian at all. Her footsteps seemed to be slow and real, and in a blink of an eye, she disappeared into the endless depths of fog and snow.

Chu Tian was so happy that he didn't catch up after all.

In the middle of the night, Chu Tian was exhausted and almost exhausted. Fortunately, he finally walked out of the dead and dark forest that could devour life at any time. The snow stopped and the ground was wet and slippery. He couldn't count how many falls along the way. He was so cold and hungry that he almost rolled over a beam and saw a small village deep in the foothills from afar.

This is Daya Mountain. Chu Tian's home is in a small village deep in Daya Mountain. There are less than ten families, all of whom make a living by hunting and collecting medicine.

But at this moment, his home is in sight, but he can't see the warm lights waiting, nor can he hear the familiar hounds barking one after another, dazzling... There is a sea of fire!

The blazing flame almost devoured the whole village, and the blood-red firelight and rolling black smoke rushed straight to the night sky.

The village moaned and turned into ashes in the raging sea of fire, and the air floated with a strong pungent smell of gunpowder smoke.

This is no longer the home you are looking forward to, but a hell.

"Dad, Mom--" Chu Tian was shocked and rushed down the mountain. Suddenly, a fierce heat wave wrapped in choking smoke came to his face. He couldn't get close to the village at all, and the fire was still spreading, igniting the mountains and trees around him.

"Clap!" At some point, Mars splashed on Chu Tian's clothes and immediately burned.

He hurriedly rolled to the ground, extinguished the flame, and there was a burning pain on his arm, leaving a burnt wound.

Chu Tian couldn't care about the pain. He shouted desperately, but there was no response from the village.

He vaguely saw that his house had collapsed and turned into ruins in the fire.

My father, mother, and other villagers, and even the hounds who dared to fight with the black bear wolf were all silent.

No one in the village escaped from the fire alive?

If they are still alive, how can they let the fire engulf their homes?

Although this place is small, it is the place where hunters live for generations and their roots!

No, it's impossible! They are all the best hunters in the world. They can feel danger at any time even in their sleep, not to mention those loyal hounds who are always alert?

Chu Tian couldn't believe it and didn't want to believe it.

In a while, hot tears rushed to his eyes, and Chu Tian used all his strength to shout, "Dad, Mom--"

The mountains echoed his shouts and handed them out from afar until they were blown away by the wind.

He rushed to the sea of fire again, and the flame danced to swallow him up, but Chu Tian stubbornly didn't want to stop rushing forward.

Even if you die, you should know where your parents and neighbors are!

Suddenly, a sudden cry made Chu Tian's footsteps pause. The cry was not far from him, and it came from the well at the entrance of the village.

Maybe I have been crying for too long, and my voice seems a little hoarse. But this immature cry came to Chu Tian's ears, but it made hope rise again in his heart.

Some people are still alive!

He rolled all the way to avoid the fire and approached the well. The well was surrounded by a relatively empty mud, and the ground was hot by the fire. Chu Tian walked on it as if he had stepped on a red iron plate.

He ran to the well with pain and shouted at the well, "Don't be afraid, I'll save you!"

"Mom, mom... save Qing'er, I'm afraid--" Chu Tian couldn't see the child in the well, and could only hear a panicked cry for help.

"Qing'er?"

Chu Tian was stunned and realized that there was a little girl he didn't know hidden in the well.

But he didn't have time to think about it. The fire around him and the thick smoke might make him fall down all the time.

Seeing the hanging rope holding the bucket hanging in the well, Chu Tian had guessed that the little girl must be sitting in the bucket.

So, someone must have hidden her underground.

It's just where the person who hid the little girl went. Why didn't the little girl escape from the burning village with her?

Chu Tian clenched his teeth, shook the crad, and raised the bucket to the well as quickly as possible.

Gradually, he saw the little girl's face clearly.

She is up to four or five years old, with snow-white and delicate skin, and a pair of big black eyes flashing with bright light. She is looking up at Chu Tian helplessly with frightened eyes.

"Is it her?"

Chu Tiandeng recognized the little girl - isn't it the woman in white who killed the wolves in the forest and saved her?

"Don't be afraid!" Chu Tian comforted her softly, grasping the handle with one hand and holding her out of the bucket with the other.

"I want my mother--" The little girl pushed Chu Tian away and wanted to escape from his arms.

The surroundings were almost surrounded by fire. Chu Tian hugged her little weak body and dared not let go. He said, "Brother will take you to your mother!"

Chu Tian wet his clothes with a little water in the wooden barrel, then lifted it up to cover the little girl's face, and turned around and ran out of the fire.

He believes that the little girl's mother will definitely come back, and his parents and village neighbors may also hide in a secret place.

When they all come back, everything will return to the past. All this in front of us is just a nightmare.

In this way, the two young figures went further and further away from the fire and slowly disappeared in the depths of the thick smoke.

This winter, Chu Tian was nine and a half years old, and Qing'er was less than six years old.

This is their first meeting...
