The years I was a birdman

Chapter 308 His Eyes

His eyes have been staring at that flower, how charming those eyes are. At that time, I simply thought that this was the most beautiful thing in the world, so that since then, it has made me unable to extricate myself all my life. .

Zhang Shifei and Li Lanying originally hated the old demon Ranxi, because it kidnapped Liang Yun'er, even if it was ripped apart, it would be difficult to dispel Zhang Shifei's hatred, but After Liu Yudi told about Ranxi's life experience, Zhang Shifei didn't know why, but he couldn't hate him any more. What he had, maybe it was just sadness.

Perhaps this is a sad story.

It turns out that Ranxi's nature is not evil, at least, it was indeed like this in the beginning.

Ranxi said that it was the first time that it saw how big the world was. It turns out that the climate is different throughout the year, with hot summers and snowy winters.

In the winter of the first year, it almost froze to death, only because the mountains were covered by heavy snow, thousands of miles were covered with silver, and everything was covered by white snow, and the small tree hole in Ranxi was also covered by snow.

At that time, Ranxi hadn't turned into a human form yet, although he absorbed the aura of Tai Sui's skin all day long, there was only one palm left, the size of a palm, he couldn't resist this kind of cold air, and the heavy snow buried the tree hole, making it Unable to go out and find a warm nest for the winter, they can only helplessly wait for the imminent death to come.

That was the first time that Ranxi learned to think. Maybe it was transformed by Tai Sui's evil spirit. It no longer lived aimlessly. It began to try to observe and understand the world. At that time, it, It's like a newborn baby, but it has just been born, and it has to face the severe cold. Will the cold bring death?
But death did not come, and it was only a child who came to the tree hole that day.

Crash, clatter, the spider in the tree hole felt that the white snow covering the hole seemed to be dug by something. At that time, it was hungry and cold, and terrified, so it could only subconsciously climb to the top of the tree hole, and then quietly observed At the entrance of the cave.

Sure enough, the white snow at the entrance of the book hole was pulled away by both hands, and the thing that Ran Xi recognized, when thinking about its thoughts were still muddy, seemed to come here together with a 'monster'.

That monster is a human being. Of course, this is what it learned later.

Those hands were not gloved, and they were red and red from the cold because they dug the icy white snow. When the hole was dug open, a happy child's voice came: "Hey, I said there is a tree hole. It should be hidden here. No one found out."

It is very strange that the spiders at that time could understand the words, it seems that it was because of the power of Tai Sui skin, which made the spiders panic at that time, but even though they could understand the language, it still couldn't understand it out of animal instinct. Dare to move, at this moment, I saw a group of things suddenly stuffed into the hole.

It was a rolled wool blanket, and after the stuff was stuffed in, Ranxi heard a creaking sound from outside, as if something was running over the snow, and at the same time A brisk song came, and the sound became farther and farther away in the cold air.

It seems that the 'things' outside have already left. The spider bravely crawled out, only to see a child in tattered clothes running up and down in the distance, and the singing sound came from his mouth. Yes, the spider heard singing for the first time, and it felt very comfortable.

It stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the child, and saw that after the child ran for a while, a group of sparrows flew over the woods, chirping, the child stood up and turned to look.

The spider's eyesight is very good, it saw the child's eyes, what beautiful eyes, just like the stars in the sky, I don't know why, the spider was so fascinated by it, that at this moment it felt It doesn't feel cold, it's the most charming thing it has ever seen, a pair of children's eyes, so clear and shining, that it temporarily forgets everything, including pain, confusion, and hunger. up.

It just looked at it like this, until the figure of the child could not be seen anymore, and then the spider came back to its senses. It realized that it was almost not frozen, so it hurriedly withdrew from the tree hole.

At this time, inside the tree hole, there seemed to be one more thing, a soft cashmere blanket. Ranxi timidly crawled under the wool blanket, and it suddenly felt that the wind seemed to disappear. This is really a very miraculous thing. For the spider, maybe this old wool blanket is more important than the Tai Sui skin, because it feels a burst of warmth.

He saved himself, the kid saved himself.At that time, the spider thought in his heart, he is so kind, he brought warmth to himself, when will he see him again?
It was not until a long time later that the spider realized that it was a misunderstanding that day. The boy, named Feng Tianyang, lived in the small village at the foot of the mountain.

The people in the country don't have much culture, especially in those strange years. The Feng family was a farmer, and they had a son in their later years. The old couple had a lot of fun, but they were illiterate. On that day, a wandering young Taoist priest happened to come to the village. The old Taoist profession was as respected as a monk at that time. The young Taoist priest only said his surname was Han, and traveled all the way here.

Well, Taoist priests should be the same as monks. They all know how to recite scriptures. If you can read scriptures, you will be able to read. If you can read, you are a person who understands. So, Lao Feng asked the little Taoist priest to name his child, little Taoist priest It seemed to be the first time he encountered such a thing, but it was hard to refuse, so he looked at the infant child and said, he was born and raised, with all the blessings, this child should be called Feng Tianyang.

Everyone likes this name very much, because in those years, people's lives were very difficult, and the survival rate of children was also quite low. Due to superstition, the name basically determined everything in their eyes, which is why the rural villages used to The people here love names such as 'fa', 'cai' and 'you'.

Don't tell me, there are some people who live up to their name. Feng Tianyang really lived through that winter. He has been free from illness and disaster since he was a child, and he is very healthy. The Feng family and his wife are very happy. They really don't want to Let him suffer a little bit of grievance, but they are poor people, most of them are like this in the village, only one landlord has money, and in spring and summer, they rent the landlord's field to cultivate, just want to spend a year safely , In winter, I do odd jobs for the landlord's house in exchange for some oil and salt for the New Year.

It is about day after day, year after year, Feng Tianyang is already a child of seven and a half years old, as the so-called leader inside and outside, poor children are already in charge of the family, this young Feng Tianyang is already able to help the landlord herd cattle and sheep at this age, His hands and feet are nimble, his mouth is sweet, and he is very pleasing, but the landlord is mean and mean, always looking for trouble, hoping to deduct some wages.

This day was the day when wages were paid, Xiao Feng Tianyang deliberately dragged the cattle back from the back mountain early, knowing that the mountain was covered by heavy snow, where would there be any withered grass for the cattle to eat, but the landlord was stingy, Feng Tianyang had no choice but to I had no choice but to do so. Fortunately, he has been playing on this mountain since he was a child, and he knows where the pasture is abundant. Even if it is cold and freezing, there will still be dead grass under the snow. It is easy to feed the cows for a while, and then return to the landlord's house. When receiving the wages, the landlady made things difficult again, saying that the cows were thinned out by herding the cattle this month, and must have been lazy, so she only paid him half of the wages.

All the people in the village dared not speak out against the landlord's harshness, but Feng Tianyang felt that he couldn't swallow the bad breath. You must know that it is winter now, and if you don't feed the cattle, of course you will lose weight and not be hungry. It's good to die, but you know he's digging all day long, his little hands are already frostbitten, even so, he didn't even get the wages he deserved, how can this not make people feel angry?
A child is a child after all, Feng Tianyang decided not to let it go, even if he didn't get paid, he still had to do something along the way. After he walked out of the landlord's compound, he touched the back of the yard, and then quietly climbed over the wall , only saw a woolen blanket hanging in the yard, the young Feng Tianyang thought in his heart, this thing is good, it should keep out the cold, so he stepped forward quickly, hugged the woolen blanket in his arms, and then Quickly climbed over the high earth wall.

Although he is young, he has a lot of ghost ideas in his heart. He understands that this thing cannot be taken home. First, it is difficult to explain to parents. Second, if the landlord finds out, the landlord really dares to interrupt him. of the legs.

In this isolated mountain village, the landlord represents the law, the law of the king.

So Feng Tianyang went up the mountain again. This mountain has been played since he was a child, and every plant and tree is very familiar. He remembered that he found a hole under a tree in summer and took out bird eggs from it. , Now put the woolen blanket in the tree hole, no one will find out except himself. You must know that the landlord’s house has lost something, and it must be done. Let’s wait first, wait until the limelight passes, and come again by yourself Taking the blanket, he found the tree by memory, dug up the snow, rolled up the woolen blanket, and stuffed it in.

After doing everything, he felt very comfortable, and ran down the mountain humming the song he sang while grazing cattle in the mountain. Feng Tianyang didn't even know that his actions changed the fate of two people.

One is him and the other is a spider.

After all, he is still a child, and his thoughts are very simple. The landlord is stingy, and it is a small thing to lose the woolen blanket at home, but he understands that it is a big deal to develop such a thief. Isn’t there a saying, don’t be afraid of thieves Stealing is afraid of thieves thinking about it. I haven’t lost anything for many years. Besides, the Fox Fairy Temple outside the village has always lost tributes a while ago, and I don’t know who did it. At first, the landlord thought it was The fox fairy appeared, but now that I think about it, this is not the case. It must have been done by the thieves. The landlord felt that this matter was very serious, so he mobilized the crowd and called the whole village at night. At a conference, we must find out who stole everything.

Walls have ears, Feng Tianyang always thought that what he did was impeccable, but he never expected that his actions would be noticed by a bum in the village. The family came to make ends meet. He had just left home that day and was worrying about his dinner, but he saw Feng Tianyang running out of the village with something in his hands. He didn't pay attention at the time, but he heard the landlord say at night Anyone who finds out this thief will be rewarded with half a bag of cornmeal. At that time, this bastard couldn't do it anymore. Excited, he stepped forward, picked up the cornmeal, pointed at Feng Tianyang and said, "I saw it." , he, this brat stole it."

This is really bad.

That night, Feng Tianyang suffered a whole night of beatings. The landlord was obviously trying to make an example of others, even the children, and broke his leg cruelly. Fortunately, Feng Tianyang survived, so he saved his life. Later, the landlord asked Feng Tian where the blanket was. After asking clearly, he asked the bum to take it back. After all, the bum took the landlord's food, so he couldn't be let off so easily. The bum came back with the blanket , but he kept covering his hands and his face was pale. The landlord asked him what was wrong, and he smiled wryly and said that his hands were swollen as if he had been bitten by an insect in the tree hole.

His hand was swollen, and it didn't go away. The bug that bit him seemed to be very poisonous. Er Liuzi started to have a fever when he got home. No one cared about him. Two days later, he died in the grass of his own house. In the room, not a single morsel of grain from the landlord’s house was touched.

But Feng Tianyang survived the catastrophe, but also broke a leg. After recuperating for nearly half a year, he was finally able to walk, but he was also limping. During this year, the Feng family and his wife had to support the family in addition to taking care of the children, and the pressure was enormous. After finally surviving until Feng Tianyang could walk, the couple became sick from overwork and passed away one after another.

Feng Tianyang became an orphan because of this, and the eyes of the people in the village changed when they looked at him. In the gossip, they all said that he was a disaster star, that he suppressed his father and mother, and even killed that bastard, and that his hands and feet were not clean. With a 'conviction', the landlord's family would not do anything for him, so he could only grit his teeth and go up the mountain to pick fruits in summer and chop firewood in winter, and then walked more than ten miles to a small market. Sell ​​it in the market to make a living.

In this way, ten years have passed.

Feng Tianyang is already a young man, just at the age when he is talking about marriage. He has a strong physique and a very handsome appearance, with a pair of big black eyes shining brightly. It is a pity that he is lame, and his family background is not good, so he is dressed like a man. A beggar is similar to a beggar. It would be good if people in the village don't bully him. Whose girl would marry him and live poorly with his memory?
Feng Tianyang didn't think anything of it, the accident ten years ago caused a drastic change in his mind, especially after the death of his parents, those village people's eyes, what disgusting eyes, it seems that Feng Tianyang shouldn't live in It is normal in this world. Since then, no one in the village has spoken to him, and no one has helped him. Those villagers know well that the child is dead, and no one greets him. If he is so old, he must live. It won't be long.

But how did they know that this Feng Tianyang was really born and raised, and he survived. After more than ten years, his personality became a little withdrawn, and he dared not talk to others. It was just that when he went up the mountain, he was sometimes depressed, or Can sing the songs that have been learned before.

But although he has a withdrawn personality, he has a passion in his heart. If he sees a family in need of help, he will step forward to lend a hand. Although most of the villagers will not ask him to come forward, he still does so because of what his parents said to him , He has already forgotten all kinds of things, and there is only one sentence that he didn't say, that is, when everyone is in trouble, helping others is helping yourself.

Although those people didn't appreciate it, what's more, they cursed at him. The son of the landlord's family was about his age and bullied him all day long, but he was not annoyed when others bullied him. Go away, at this age before, men and women of the same age in the village had already married, and the boy from the landlord's family had already married two.

Only Feng Tianyang was still alone. Although he was usually taciturn, the loneliness in his heart became more and more intense. He was really afraid of such a day, but what could he do?I can only ask myself to accumulate some money, do some small business, and wait until the family situation eases up, and then make plans.

Feng Tianyang is already a very strong young man. It was a summer and he went to the mountains to collect herbs. After all, herbs are more valuable than fruits. This was taught by the pharmacy owner in the town. One day the owner went to the street and saw him. The fruit for sale was actually covered with a layer of medicinal leaves. It turned out that he was afraid that the fruit would be exposed to the sun, so he picked a few leaves at random. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Chinese medicine. After the pharmacy owner learned about his situation, he said to him , you don't sell fruit in the future, pick medicine for me, earn more money than you do now.

As long as he earns money, he does everything. The boss gave him a catalog of herbal medicines, and the boss took all the herbs on it. Since then, Feng Tianyang has become a medicine farmer. After all, he is much better than before, he thought in his heart , if you are lucky, you can guess some more expensive medicinal materials. According to the owner of the pharmacy, there seems to be old ginseng on this mountain. Although he has never seen it, the boss promised him that if he picks If he gets 'two bundles' (nearly thirty centimeters) of ginseng, he will be given a large sum of money, enough to marry a wife.

Thinking of this, Feng Tianyang's heart was full of rush, no, the day was not yet light, and at this time, even before the farmers got up, he carried a big bamboo basket on his back and held a The broken hoe went out, and he walked up the mountain with ease. He picked some wild fruits along the way to serve as dry food for today, and then walked into the mountain.

He is very experienced now and knows that those valuable herbs grow in secluded places. The more dangerous the place, the better the herbs. Think about this mountain. It was said that there were ferocious beasts at that time. Feng Tianyang vaguely remembered that when he was young When I was young, I heard that there was a divine bird on the mountain. Someone in the village had seen it, so they spread the word about it. It was four or five circles bigger than the old hawk. It flew high and high, and its tail was quite beautiful. , is similar to the phoenix in the painting that year, but the color is different, blue and blue. However, it seems that this divine bird has not shown its spirit a few times, but those old people always mention it sometimes.

Therefore, this mountain has been called "Phoenix Mountain" since then, and it was not changed to "Jubao Mountain" until a long time later, because someone dug a big treasure on this mountain, but this is all for later. As a rule, the next thing is to wait for the next article.

There are no big worms, but there are quite a few wild boars and jackals, but Feng Tian raised them enough to not be afraid of them, because if a person is poor enough, he will dare to go up to the single wolf and fight for his life.

Everything in the world is nothing more than deceiving the good and fearing the evil. People are like this, and so are wild beasts. They are all afraid of evil people. This Feng Tianyang is innocent, but he is not afraid of the sky, and the earth is not afraid, so the beasts and the like are all around him Let's go, and sometimes, animals like wild deer and deer would faint in front of his eyes after seeing him. Feng Tianyang always thought that maybe his clothes were too tattered, so even wild animals were afraid of him, but in the future Only then did he realize that this was not the case.

Feng Tianyang used a hoe to pick up the weeds over his waist, and walked forward with difficulty. He hadn't had a good harvest for three days, and the herbs at home were only so pitiful that they weren't enough to exchange money at the medicine shop, so he sent out today. He became cruel and walked to the depths of the valley that he had never been to before.

No one passes by this valley, because there are many poisonous snakes in it, so the villagers are unwilling to approach it. Feng Tianyang was also forced to venture here today, hoping to get some benefits from this valley that no one has ever visited. .

The leaves blocked the way forward, and it was very difficult to walk. Feng Tianyang gritted his teeth and groped forward. Don't tell me, there are quite a lot of things in this valley because no one comes all the year round. Just entered the valley. Feng Tianyang saw three or four peach trees in the distance. This year's rain was heavy, and the peaches were growing gratifyingly. The luxuriant peach trees were covered with peaches, and many of the branches were bent down. Feng Tianyang was overjoyed. It seems that even if I don't do anything these days, I won't starve to death.

So he went forward, and because his legs and feet were inconvenient and he couldn't climb the tree, he let the hoe knock down a branch. After picking a small half of the basket of wild peaches, he continued on his way. The peaches were very sweet and had a lot of juice. There are no caves in this valley, only the periphery is full of trees, so it is easy to walk in the valley.

Feng Tianyang was in a good mood as the breeze blew, and it was mixed with a faint fruity fragrance, because not only wild fruits, but also large pieces of good medicinal materials, which were much more than the outer part of the mountain, probably because no one had picked them before. The reason is, not long after, Feng Tianyang picked a bamboo basket of herbs, he wiped his sweat, thinking that he should be able to earn a fortune today, what will he use the money for?Let's buy food, um, no, I haven't finished eating so many peaches, I can't wear my clothes, let's sell some old clothes, Feng Tianyang shook his head again, no, isn't the belly button missing? Let's wait a little longer, earn money or don't buy anything, and save it to marry a wife.

As soon as he mentioned marrying a wife, Feng Tianyang smiled shyly. He was very happy, so he began to sing again, but he stopped after singing a few words, because he seemed to notice that there was a song under the tree over there. There seemed to be something, clump after clump, glowing red, so he walked forward with a peach in his mouth, and poked the weeds with a hoe, and he was stunned for a moment.

Behind the waist-high weeds, there was a small open space, the soil was pitch black, and there was not a trace of weeds on the open space. There was only one plant in the huge space, with lush flowers and a burst of medicinal fragrance. Coming towards his face, Feng Tianyang's heart started beating wildly.

This, is this a 'fat boy'! ! ? ?

Fat boy, or mountain baby, are all mountain people’s names for old ginseng. The older generation will say that ginseng is a spiritual plant. If you don’t pick it, they will absorb the aura of heaven and earth. And if they don't die all the year round, they can grow into a human form in the end. Some people can even split their legs, break through the soil and run around the mountains. It can also be said to be refined. This kind of ginseng is extremely rare. If it can be caught and eaten, it can prolong life, and even bring back the life of a dying person. It is really a great wealth.

Feng Tianyang's heart started beating wildly, he didn't even notice that the peach in his mouth had dropped, he just kept thinking in his heart, is he dreaming now?Could it be that he was so lucky that he came across such a big ginseng plant, and seeing that the red fruit on the top of the ginseng was bigger than the ordinary Shanlihong, wouldn't this ginseng become a climate?
Feng Tianyang froze there. He subconsciously wanted to go up to pick it, but he stopped. He thought to himself, the old man said that the ginseng that has become a climate has legs. If it knows that you want to take its life, It would run away like an animal, and it would be impossible to catch him unless he was tied up with a red string beforehand.

Feng Tianyang licked his lips, he touched his pocket where the wind was everywhere, thinking to himself, why can't I prepare a red rope in advance?How should this be done now? ? ?
