Traveling before dawn is the darkest. Madam Feng walked at the front holding a torch. The road was different from before. It was spacious and smooth. The wooden railings were specially nailed, and there was a sharp stone blocking it.
"Well, this mountain road is really built, I think three bullock carts can pass it."
"That's right, this road was repaired and assited by Mountain God." Old Man Feng said with great arrogance, as if the Mountain God's manifestation had something to do with him. He pointed to the sharp stones and said, "See? Help us to cut all the stones and stand up, the roots are the same, we are building roads in this Longling, thanks to the blessing of the mountain god."
Madam Feng moved the torches and moved closer to the stones. Sure enough, each of them was the same size and width, and even the shape was exactly the same. She was horrified as if she had seen a ghost, and she exclaimed in admiration, "Mountain God done this? I wonder what other abilities he has? He must be an immortal in the sky. He must be like a Jade Emperor."
God of the Mountain, what is he doing? So what about his ability? I guess he must be an immortal in the sky, and he has to be like the Jade Emperor."
"That's right, we'll be there after a short walk. We have to go in and pay homage to the Mountain God so that he can bless us with a smooth trip."
Old man Feng said it was close, but they didn't arrive at the Dragon Bone Temple until it was just dawn. On the Dragon Temple the road is particularly solid, not even a single grass grows.
After arriving here, Huzi rushed to the front for some reason and Mrs. Feng couldn't help but praise him. "Huzi is really spiritual, rushing to worship the mountain god, look at how fast he walks."
The Dragon Bone Temple was built with volcanic stone. When I got closer, I found that it was very big. A large stone house was built squarely and there was a door outside. Old man Feng opened it skillfully. The door led everyone in and said, "Before this temple used to be very dilapidated, but when the Mountain God helped us build the road, It's just right that we help him make his place better. This is all just repaired by the people in the village. "
As soon as they walked in, the dark clouds in the sky broke open, and a beam of clear light shot out from inside, which illuminated the Keel Temple very brightly.
"This is a good sign." Madam Feng only felt that her eyes lit up, and she could see the entire Dragon Bone Temple clearly in an instant.
Although the temple is large, there are not many things in it. Only four newly-made camphor wood tables are put together as an offering table. There are a few long stools next to it, and a few futons made of hay are thrown on the ground. Conspicuously a piece of white bone is on the table, it's so big, it is the size of a water tank.
What kind of animal must such a large bone belong to? How big must the animal be? Is it really the bones of a real dragon? tsk tsk...
She was sighing with emotion when she heard Su Wan's embrace Mengmeng, her cotton wrap moved, and her small head was exposed from the side, her big watery eyes flickered, and she was looking at the bone.
The smile on Mrs. Feng's face came from her heart, and her hands were already stretched out, "Mengmeng woke up? Grandma took you out. Are you hungry? We'll have dinner later."
She picked up Mengmeng and sat on the stool, and opened her mouth: "Old man, quickly give me that bag of jerky. Su Wan, there is hot water in my basket, you can give it to Mengmeng. Bring a bowl of rice noodles, peel an egg and smash it a little. Mengmeng slept early last night, and she must be hungry now."
Seeing that they were all busy, Madam Feng picked up Mengmeng and teased her, but found that her big eyes were staring at the bone without blinking. It was like a vortex, as if it could suck people in.
"Does Mengmeng like that bone? It's really clever, it's the bone of a real dragon. Grandma will carry you so you can touch it, so that Grandpa Mountain God can bless our Mengmeng to grow up quickly."
Madam Feng picked up Mengmeng and was about to walk over, but as soon as she got up, Huzi rushed to the front. The hair on It's body stood straight, his strong back was arched high, and he barked his teeth and roared at Madam Feng. The roar sounded like a thunderstorm, which made Mrs. Feng's legs go soft. She fell back on the stool and didn't dare to move.
This change made Old Man Feng and Su Wan terrified. They subconsciously wanted to run over, but they didn't expect Hu Zi to see Old Madam Feng sitting back, and it also restrained its fierceness, the hair did not explode, and the back did not arch. Now, he was rubbing his tail against Mrs. Feng's legs.
The old lady Feng was still in shock, and Mengmeng in her arms seemed to be frightened. She suddenly cried twice, and kept reaching for the bones on the table.
Madam Feng completely forgot her fear, she hugged Mengmeng tightly and raised her eyebrows and said, "Huzi, what are you doing? You made Mengmeng cry. Mengmeng, don't cry, grandma will help you fight the tiger. Son, look at our Mengmeng is scared."
In her anger, Mrs. Feng was still a little frightened, and glanced at Huzi. This Huzi is also strange. He was so fierce just now, and the next he is as obedient as a rabbit.
Seeing everything is okay, Su Wan finally let go of the sigh she was holding and came over with a bowl. Madam Feng just wanted to sit down, she didn't dare to move a bit since the chair creaked every time she moved. It might break. This time she went straight to the offering table, and Mengmeng stopped crying. Huzi also just stared at Madam Feng and didn't let her move further.
Behind Hu Zi was the white keel, and this time Old Man Feng was also surprised. He was thinking about Hu Zi and the keel, and a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind.
"Someone in the village said that Huzi is a divine beast of the Mountain God. I didn't believe it before. You see it now, it is clear that he doesn't want us to touch the keel. Maybe Huzi is really raised by the Mountain God, and he knows how to protect the keel in the temple."
When he said this, everyone thought it was very reasonable. The tiger has not been able to see the breed until now, and its hunting ability is still so powerful. They have never said that they have seen such an animal, and they have never even heard of it. It is very likely that It is a legendary beast.
Mengmeng only hummed twice and stopped crying, and she didn't reach for the bone anymore. Madam Feng tried to bring the bowl of rice noodles to feed her. She drank it obediently, and ate it very fast. She was still staring at the bones, but Huzi stood in front of her, and Mrs. Feng didn't dare to let her take the risk. After she finished feeding the rice noodles spoon by spoon, she hurriedly called everyone to pack up and walk out of the Dragon Bone Temple. Huzi also followed immediately.
They hurry along with their heads lowered, but Mengmeng keeps her eyes wide open, looking in the direction of the Dragon Bone Temple. She felt very close to the bone just now, and she could hear someone calling her from the bone, so she wanted to go up and give the bone a hug. But Huzi told her no, no, no, no, no, no, she felt that Huzi was bad, and she no longer wanted to pay attention to Huzi.
Huzi didn't know what she was thinking, and he was running around very diligently, bringing pine **** or primroses to play with her from time to time, which soon made Mengmeng forget what happened just now. Hanging on Su Wan's chest, it was very comfortable to be shaken, and she fell asleep again after a while.
The wide mountain road suddenly becomes thinner when it is halfway through. The mountain road behind has not been repaired, but it is much easier to walk than before. All the big stones and small stones blocking the road are gone. It took three to four hours for the Feng Family to pass through safely out of longling.
When Mrs. Feng looked at the sky, she still couldn't believe it, "With the blessing of the mountain god, it is very different. In the past, it took us seven or eight hours to travel through the mountain, but now it has been reduced by half. If we can repair all of it the It can be reduced by half again! In the future, it will be much easier for people in our village to go out of the mountains."
"That's right," Old Man Feng also thought so, and he said mysteriously, "The Mountain God has sent us a tiger son, and we must pay more respects to his old man in the future."
"It makes sense. Next time, I will make Pan Mi Kueh and send it to the Mountain God, and let him bless our Huzi. Where's Huzi? Where did Huzi go?"
The Feng family walked out of the mountain, but they didn't find the tiger behind, and he didn't follow at all. They only yelled at them twice, and when the Feng family looked back at it, it suddenly disappeared. into the woods.
The Feng family just put it down after being surprised for a while, and the old man Feng also said with certainty: "Huzi is really a clever animal, he knows that his appearance is not easy to be seen by people outside the mountain, and it is worthy of being sent by the mountain god. "
"Dad, Mom, I think Hu Zi made a special trip to see us, and he will go back when we are safe." Hu Zi followed Su Wan along the way. She felt the deepest feeling. Sometimes she was tired and Hu Zi pushed her behind. If there is no tiger, she will be exhausted on this trip.
Madam Feng narrowed her eyes and said, "Huzi is good, we are good to him, and he is also good to us, otherwise, where did the meat in our basket come from? Let's go faster, go to the county and sell this meat."
The Feng family had all been out of the mountains, so they naturally knew where to go. They rushed all the way according to their memory, and finally came to the county town after half an hour. The meat sales place was still in the former purchasing station. It happened that no one is in the line, so Mrs. Feng rushed to the front of the counter in a single step, and asked the salesperson with a smile, "Comrade, we have dried meat here, how much can we sell it for?"
The salesperson was a woman. She sat behind the counter and ignored her. She just glanced at it and said, "Anyone with bones? Two per pound without bone, and one per pound with bone."
Madam Feng was so happy that her gums were exposed. Her family's air-dried meat still has many young and old. How much would it cost to sell it?
"The price is right, then you..."
"Cough-cough!" As soon as she asked the salesperson to take the meat for weighing, she heard old man Feng coughing and winked at her. Now old lady Feng didn't care about the business, so she quickly walked back and said : "What are you doing, old man? Are you uncomfortable in your eyes or in your throat?"
Old man Feng pulled her over and whispered in her ear: "The price offered by this buying station is too low. It's not worth it for us to sell it. I know there is a place that offers more money than here. Let's go there."
"Really? Where?" Madam Feng didn't expect there to be such a place, and her voice grew louder.
The salesperson waited impatiently, patted the counter and said, "I said you two, have you discussed it? Is there meat for sale?"
"I won't sell it, comrade, we won't sell it anymore." Madam Feng refused without thinking. What a joke, why would she sell it cheaply if she can sell it more expensively?
