During the Yuanyou period, the Woniu Mountain in the Kanghe area suddenly became few people for a period of time, and the people who originally lived in the deep mountains either disappeared or dragged their families down the mountain impatiently.
Rumors arose all of a sudden, it was said that the depths of the mountain forest had been occupied by a monster, and at this time, not only a large number of fierce beasts were rampant, poisonous insects were everywhere, and there were poisonous miasma floating in the air.
Some people say that this miasma is formed by the monsters on the mountain after sucking up human essence. Some people also speculate that some bandit leaders deliberately made up a trick to cover up the mountain in order to monopolize it, just to hide people's eyes and ears, and maybe how many stolen goods and even court criminals were hidden on the mountain, and a group of villains sang songs and ...... that night
Of course, no matter how decent people say, no one is just talking about it, after all, no one really dares to go up the mountain to verify it for themselves.
What is the current situation in the depths of this Woniu Mountain, I am afraid that only those who once lived there can know a little bit or two.
There is a farmer surnamed He, who has just moved down from Woniu Mountain with his whole family. This family is ordinary, and the rest of the civilians are not at all noticeable.
Although the strange rumors of Woniu Mountain spread so quickly, the people around them were not too curious about this family who moved from nowhere.
In this world, the people who are still standing in front of you today and talking happily may have to wait to die in two days because of a disease that they have no money to treat, not to mention ordinary people who come and go to relocate, and everyone is used to seeing it.
The family of the farmer surnamed He quietly moved to a new place, and continued to live a poor life in an ordinary way. It is estimated that only their own family knows about the days when this family was on the mountain.
The farmer has a daughter named Fluttershy, who is born with a beautiful face, but is covered up by the dust of her daily toil.
Don't talk about others, even the peasant couple who have always been snobbish, have never had a good look at their daughter's appearance. Otherwise, they would have sold her to the rich and lascivious for money.
On this day, lightning flashed and thundered, and suddenly it rained heavily. It is rare for the farmer's family to gather in the house to rest, and when they are idle with their father, they find that their most cherished treasure is gone.
There wasn't much left at home, but soon he came out and called Fluttershy out of the inner room.
Fluttershy is displeased to listen to her father's orders, so she braves the rain to go up the mountain to find a whistle, but if the rain causes a cold, the second elder is reluctant to send her to the doctor, and she is the one who suffers.
I really don't know what Daddy thinks......”
Fluttershy doesn't dare to say what she thinks, and she doesn't say anything on her face.
Seeing that she had been standing stupid, he was so angry that he scolded her and insisted that she should do it.
His mother's temperament was slightly gentler than that of his father, and when he saw this movement, he hurried over to persuade his husband.
But when she learned that it was the bird-shaped pottery whistle, her usually warm face immediately turned cold at this time, and she persuaded her daughter to do what her father said.
Fluttershy looks at Adina's house, the door is closed, and she hasn't gotten up yet! Looking back at her parents' anger, she felt aggrieved in her heart, but she also knew that this was her life.
This bird-shaped pottery whistle is very important to the Hejia, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "family heirloom". To be more precise, it should be important to the three people in the family except for Fluttershy.
The material of this whistle itself is very ordinary, and it is not a gold, silver and jade, and the value lies in the person who sold it - this was once a gift from a ** who was rescued by his father on the ridge.
Since ** woke up and left, the people of the family have never met him again, but his father and mother have used this token as the hole card of the family's turnover.
Especially with his father, this ordinary farmer not only has energy in his body, but also has some twists and turns in his mind, and has been thinking about how to use this hole card in his hand when he is looking for a way out for his son in the future.
The rescued ** didn't come to repay the favor for so long, and he didn't even write a letter, and his meaning is self-evident. But the farmer couple and their son still have full expectations for this, counting on this prosperity.
Fluttershy tactfully tries to persuade her parents to give up, but instead of listening, the second elder scolds her for being bad and not wanting her brother well. Over time, Fluttershy learns to shut up.
However, in this kind of family, there are some things that she doesn't take the initiative to stay away from, so she can really not get fishy, and troublesome things will take the initiative to find her. No, I came to her when I had some problems.
After talking about it, I discussed that I would let her go when the rain was lighter.
The original plan of the father was to let his daughter go up the mountain in the rain to retrieve her things, and when she returned, the rain had stopped, and she just went out to work with them. However, this dead girl didn't listen, so she thought about being lazy, and her mother also followed to help, and in the end she could only take a step back.
In the past, the heavy rain came and went quickly, but today it has been raining for a long time, and the father is getting more and more impatient, staring at the daughter who is sitting on the side and mending clothes.
Although they have been on the ground for a few days and hard, they are barely able to sustain the whole family. If outsiders see him like this, I'm afraid they will think that the prime minister and emperor are worth a thousand gold at a moment!
After the rain was as low as he wished, his father set up a broken umbrella and pushed his daughter out quickly.
On rainy days, it takes Fluttershy several times longer than usual to reach a wooden house on the mountain, where the family used to live.
Daddy saw that I hadn't gone back for so long, he must be angry at home ...... this timeAfter rummaging around for a long time and seeing no sign of the whistle, Fluttershy can't help but play a small drum in her heart, feeling uneasy.
Suddenly, a figure in her mind that she had secretly dug in front of the hall with her father flashed, and she suddenly had an idea.
Squatting down next to the humble stove where she usually cooks, Fluttershy grabs a wooden stick and gently pokes at the corner, and sure enough, a small hole is punched out, and a small pottery whistle falls out.
Such a gadget is really easy for her to find! If it weren't for her inadvertently discovering her father's strange behavior, she wouldn't have been able to find this thing even when it was dark today.
Fluttershy still thinks back to her father's appearance that day, and still feels confused: Daddy seems to have offended people that day, and he is afraid that people will come to seek revenge at night, and even the "family heirloom" is hidden so secretly, and she doesn't know what she has done to others, and she is afraid that she will become ...... like this
Fluttershy picks up the whistle and puts it in her arms, and when the rain almost stops, she puts her umbrella away and prepares to descend the mountain.
She naturally heard some of the "monster rumors" that the residents near her new home were talking about, but she only thought it was funny - their family has lived in the mountains for so many years, where are the monsters! The populace is so boring!
However, she didn't dare to say a word of these words to anyone else—for some reason, her father strictly forbade them to mention to outsiders that their family came from the side of Woniu Mountain.
When Fluttershy emerges from the cabin, she just thinks about it as she walks. When I walked to the intersection of the small road I came, I suddenly found that the road was gone.
Could it be that it was washed away by the rain and deformed? No, no, it's still a cliff ...... down
Fluttershy is puzzled by the fact that she and her father chose this place when they built a wooden house, because the descent is easy, and the road is even more familiar to her. But now it was as if she had come to a new place, and she didn't know that her house was built on the edge of a cliff.
Feeling strange, she had no choice but to turn around and head down the other path. But as she walked, she found that the road was not going down the mountain, but into the depths of the mountain forest.
On the left and right sides are lush vegetation, like two natural green walls. And the atmosphere around is weird, which makes people's scalp tingle. But at this time, she had no choice but to continue to move forward, and she couldn't turn back and walk ...... the cliff
At noon, I came home with my father panting like an ox. On weekdays, he would never come back in this vacancy, but now he was too worried about the whereabouts of the "family heirloom" to concentrate on his work, so he hurriedly ran home again.
This damn girl, I knew she was used to being lazy! Let's sleep in the mountains! He father scolded indignantly.
He Mu was also a little unhappy on the side, and suddenly, her eyes lit up: "Hey, isn't that back?" ”
When the second elder sees Fluttershy's figure, he immediately rushes over, not out of concern for the child, but out of concern for the "family heirloom".
Fluttershy knows that she has returned so late, and she will inevitably be scolded again. But thinking of Fang Cai's strange experience, she felt even more aggrieved, her eyes were hot, but she still held back before shedding tears, and she still had a trace of longing for her family in her heart.
Meeting her parents' eager gaze, she slowly pulled out the wrapped whistle from her arms. Without waiting for them to cheer, he walked aside and placed a heavy package on the only low table in the house.
Hearing the sound of "bang", the two elders turned their heads in confusion. When they saw the shiny jewels in the open package, their faces all showed shocked and greedy expressions.
Hands and feet react faster than the brain, and before you ask clearly, you can touch your hands first, and make a sound of admiration while touching.
Hearing the movement, the people in the inner room also came out.
Wow! Sister, which adult gave this away? He Yihuan screamed.
Hearing the word "adult", his father immediately remembered the ** he had saved, and hurriedly asked, but he was denied.
It's a master, and she now lives in our family's wooden house, these ......It's the rent she gives. ”
Fluttershy shuddered when she said this, she wasn't a liar, and she was hiding the truth from her family today.
She knows the nature of these three people very well, and if the truth is revealed, they are likely to die due to their greed. Although the three didn't treat her as real family, she didn't want them to be in any danger.
What kind of master? Sister, let's go see you next time! The youngest and most favored child in the family tugs at Fluttershy's sleeve and chirps.
Sure enough, as soon as the words came out, they immediately got the approval of the two elders, and they all said that they would put down the work in the field and go up the mountain to meet the "master" together as a family.
Fluttershy breaks out in a cold sweat and makes an excuse: "Uh......s."The master needs to retreat and practice on weekdays, and it won't be good if it disturbs her......”
Fortunately, after she said this, the other three gave up the idea of going up the mountain.
Fluttershy gasps for breath and is a little disappointed that no one in this family notices that her appearance has changed!
It doesn't take much attention to notice that Fluttershy looks much more mature now than she did before she left the house in the morning. Originally, she was still immature as a girl, but now she has a ** state. Because she was born with delicate facial features, although she is a little older, she is still good-looking.
The two men in the He family rarely take her seriously, let alone today, and they didn't even notice that Fluttershy's chest was stained with blood and turned a dark red, or they didn't bother to ask.
Only the mother saw that her daughter was a little strange, but she couldn't say that something was wrong, and she soon immersed herself in the surprise of suddenly getting rich with the father and son.
It is easier and faster than imagined to go from frugality to luxury, and people's temperament has also changed drastically.
Fluttershy brought back these treasures in the hope that the family would have an easier life, especially to pave the way for Brother's future, which was also the wish of her parents.
However, as soon as his father had money, he forgot his roots, and all the fields were deserted, so he went to the streets all day long to take a look, and brought back a lot of good things every time. The most expensive gift for her son is the most expensive gift for her daughter—if it weren't for the bag of treasure that Fluttershy had brought back, she wouldn't have even had a dime of fabric.
Soon, the bag of treasure is at the bottom, and Fluttershy is stunned by the speed at which it is so fast. Originally, according to their family's expenses, this could have been spent for many years, but it was used up so quickly. I heard that it took more than half ...... just to buy food and tonic for Ah Di
The money is gone, and you want to be thrifty from luxury? That's never! The three of them said in unison that they would go up the mountain again to meet the "master".
He wanted to go to his own school, and he thought that if he went by himself, he would definitely be able to speak better than the little girl, and he would be able to bring back more gold, silver and jewelry.
He has already taken a fancy to a house in the city, as well as the academy that his son will go to in the future, and when he comes back from Woniu Mountain this time, he will do these important things at once!
Fluttershy panics again and hurriedly removes the excuse she used from last time. Seeing that her father was still unwavering, she lied that the "master" was not patient enough, and she was afraid that it would hurt people.
He Father suddenly believed it, he thought that the master who could take out so much money at will really shouldn't be something that ordinary people like them could easily approach.
His eyes roll as he turns his gaze back to his daughter, suggesting that this time Fluttershy should go on behalf of the family.
Fluttershy nods feebly, and she eventually carries an oversized, sturdy cloth bag that her mother sewed up overnight to Woniu Mountain.
This time, she lived up to expectations and brought back several times more jewelry than last time.
Who could believe that the family had seen a change in Fluttershy's eyes when they finally got their eyes normal, and saw the changes in Fluttershy - a few strands of white silk on her head, scattered yellow spots scattered all over her face, several fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and a little drooping at the corners of her mouth?
In fact, Fluttershy is much older than she appears to be. It's just that she doesn't look very old, otherwise if she is based on her real age, she is not much younger than her mother at the moment.
Of course, if she couldn't see such an obvious change, Fluttershy herself would probably think that her family was suddenly blind.
At first, he doesn't recognize his father as he stands in anticipation at the doorway, but when he sees the large cloth bag that Fluttershy is carrying, he immediately determines that this is his daughter.
Naturally, her family will ask questions about her appearance, and Fluttershy simply asks, "Master......."She needed some ...... to cultivateStuff ......I'll ......That's it. ”
I stumbled over the reasons I had sorted out countless times in my heart, and I was afraid that my family would not believe it and be questioned, but I didn't expect the three of them to just respond casually when they saw her say this, let her rest well, and then rushed up towards the big bag of jewelry, leaving her in the same place**.
This time I really lived in the city, and my father changed the whole family into the outfits of nouveau riche, wishing that all the places on my body that could hang things were full of gold and silver ornaments. I don't feel sorry at all when I spend the money, as if it's not my own - anyway, if I spend it, I can go up the mountain again to get it.
People who live nearby are curious about this family, and some sociable people take the initiative to talk to their father, and their words are all flattering and polite.
He thought he was superior to his father, and he spoke with his nostrils facing the sky. Once when it came to Xingtou, he almost leaked his secrets, but at the critical moment, fortunately, his youngest son came out and diverted the conversation in time.
If you don't plan and just spend it out, even if your huge treasury is ruined one day. Fluttershy didn't expect the day to come so soon.
After recently moving to the city, the family did not work much anymore, and the family hired a number of servants.
Except for her, the rest of the family is very adaptable, as if she was born a rich child who has inherited several generations of family business.
Fluttershy is a little nervous when she has nothing to do, and she doesn't often go out to make friends like her brother, and when she is bored, she only does housework and embroidery with the servants, but she always feels that life is not as good as when she was poor.
When she heard her father's call, she was watering the flowers with a servant.
When she receives her father's order to go up Woniu Mountain again, Fluttershy Rao is shocked to learn the family's money obsession.
What scared her even more was that she really couldn't bring back any more treasure for her family this time - her real age now spoke for itself. I want to go again this time, but I'm afraid that there will be no return, and heaven and man will be separated forever.
Seeing that she was silent for a long time, she lost her temper and scolded her, but her daughter, who had always been well-behaved in the past, was still holding her pestle at the moment.
After the development of the father, these days were coaxed by people outside to forget who he was before, and his temper became worse and worse. Seeing that his daughter disobeyed his orders, he kicked the flower pot next to him.
Tries to kick at Fluttershy, but the kick is crooked and smashes at the servant's feet. The servant was too frightened to speak, and cowered and ducked away.
If he wanted to follow his father's original urgency, he would have left his daughter to go up the mountain to find the "master" by himself, but now that he has been nourished in the rich township, he is much more desperate than before.
He still remembers what Fluttershy said last time: "Master" has a bad temper, and he is afraid that he will anger someone if he is not careful. So he didn't dare to risk his life, but he still had to let his daughter suffer for the whole family.
The youngest son of the He family is not at home as always, and the second elder only thinks that he is receiving the edification of knowledge in the academy, but he has long learned from a group of fox friends and dog friends, and changes places to play every day.
His mother was in the room arranging her son's newly made clothes, and when she heard her husband's scolding, she couldn't sit still.
Once his mother was the only one in the family who was still kind to Fluttershy, but after moving to the city, she lost even that kindness, and became more and more impatient with the family's benefactor.
Fluttershy! Why do you make your daddy angry again! This is what makes Fluttershy feel even more aggrieved when she shows up with her mother.
The two people in front of him used the most ugly words in the world on their own daughters. In the midst of tears, Fluttershy seems to see two demons in her skins frantically sucking her flesh, even more terrifying than the one on the mountain.
Eventually, she ran out of energy to refute anything. Even if she returned safely this time, she didn't want to live such a day again.
Since you want to drink my blood so much, take it! Fluttershy thinks disheartened when she faces the glamorous "Master" on the mountain. In the end, he decided to use the rest of his life to make those insatiable animals pay for what they had done!
After a whole day, the Kazuya realized that the man he had sent out to collect the treasure had not returned. If it was an ordinary family, her daughter would not return for half a day, and she would have been in a hurry to go out to find it.
But with his father and mother have always been at ease about this, if it weren't for the treasures this time, it is estimated that the daughter will not care about it for ten days and half a month.
This dead girl, shouldn't she have taken something and ran away by herself! "And my father's mind was dark and worried.
After waiting for a long time, he really ran out of patience, mainly because there were still a few younger brothers waiting for him outside, and he had to spend money as soon as he went out, and now he can't do it without money.
So, he collapsed a big cloth bag and went to Woniu Mountain.
Passers-by looked at this bejeweled old cloth bag with a beggar hanging on his arm, and they were all surprised and looked back frequently, but they were soon frightened away by the terrible eyes of his father.
Coming to the outside of the cabin where he lived only half a year ago, he and his father were anxious and didn't notice the strange feeling around him, and he wanted to get the jewelry as soon as possible to exchange for money.
Because he cared about his own life and was afraid of disturbing the "master's" cultivation, he only called a few times at the door.
But after a while, there was no movement inside, let alone the figure of the "master".
He was about to push the door open, but suddenly it opened on its own, and he stumbled in, and he cried out in pain from something as hard as a stone.
I was about to throw the "stone" away, but when I looked down, I realized that I was holding a gold nugget in my hand!
He looked up at the house in an embarrassed manner lying on the ground, and there was a gold paved in front of him, and it was as high as a table, it was a real golden house!
His father's eyes were full of golden light, and he threw himself towards the pile of gold, and he had long forgotten what he was doing here, and he didn't think there was anything strange about the scene in front of him.
The moment he got up, the door behind him suddenly closed automatically, and no one could open it.
Immediately afterward, a raging fire and the painful cries for help of an old man were heard from the golden house.
Strangely, from the outside of the wooden house, looking inside, there were still a few dusty and dilapidated pieces of furniture, but for some reason there was the sound of a fire burning inside, sometimes mixed with the voices of old people.
Besides, when he and his mother saw that her husband had not come back for so long, she finally became suspicious, so she had to go up the mountain for a while, and then fell into the same situation.
There was still an only son like a little emperor left in the family, and when he saw that none or two of his family members came back, he couldn't sit still, and ran up the mountain stupidly. As a result, it is not surprising that he also left the world in the same way.
