Hold your hand and pick you up

It was only the first day, and some people had already started to give up the big competition, one after another, the elders shook their heads watching the screen from the communication magic weapon.

It seems that this year's new disciples still don't have the strength of the previous ones, but Xi Mo didn't make any comments. He just had a question in his heart, why did the little apprentice disappear?

Also frowning is the elder Tang Zhaoxu. He has entrusted his disciples to find a chance to let him stay inside whenever they meet that kid, but no matter how he looks, there is no trace of the kid. Instead, he sent several people in. Abstained.

Yi Qing smiled and complained for the new disciples, "They have just stepped into the threshold of cultivation, this time the test has selected the most difficult one, so it would be nice to have so many people."

Guo Beitao, who was the most talkative in the past, didn't say a word, he was looking for people all over the screen, he didn't want to be unable to eat the food cooked by Shiyuan again in the future.

Xia Shang's status was embarrassing, so he didn't come forward, fidgeting in the yard waiting for the final result.

Lin Shiyuan woke up again and found himself in a forest. He looked up and saw a giant tree more than 20 meters high, but it was terribly quiet, without any sound that should be there. It seemed that there was no one but himself and these trees. creature.

He moved his body, but the severe pain he expected didn't appear, huh?He tentatively touched his back with his hands, but there was no trace of being torn at all.

Another illusion?But...is there such a real illusion?

In order to prevent accidents from happening suddenly, Lin Shiyuan held Qingyuan into his most familiar dagger in his hand, and carefully visited this unusual forest step by step.

It was getting dark, Lin Shiyuan saw that the surrounding environment had not changed much, he just hoped to find a slightly shorter tree to rest for the night first, so as to avoid the infestation of snakes, rats, insects and ants in the middle of the night.

And... a big extravagant hope, to find food and water, this really depends on luck, I really can't distinguish the situation of this kind of virgin forest that has existed for an unknown number of years.

Lin Shiyuan licked his lips, and continued to walk forward at a neither fast nor slow speed.

I don't know how long he walked, suddenly an animal ran past him very quickly!Lin Shiyuan's eyes lit up, meat!

This time, he desperately chased after it, and when he finally reached a slightly open place, he turned the Qing Yuan in his hand into a bow and arrow, took aim, and let it go!

call out!There was a sound of friction piercing through the air, bark!Hit!Lin Shiyuan ran to the spot where the prey was kneeling. The prey was a tiger. It limped and rushed into the forest. Looking carefully, there was actually a deer behind the tree. It was well-proportioned, but its belly was obviously bulging , it knelt down in front of him with tears in its eyes, it turned out to be a pregnant doe.

Lin Shiyuan definitely wouldn't eat it. Fortunately, the arrow missed it, but it was bitten by the tiger just now on its hind leg, and he tore a piece of cloth from his clothes to bandage it, temporarily stopping it. blood.

The doe's eyes were still full of fear and anxiety, Lin Shiyuan relaxed himself, and gently stroked its head, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

Knowing that staying here would make the doe even more nervous, Lin Shiyuan got up and said goodbye to it. He didn't know where he had gone, so he just found a direction and continued to move forward.

After watching the strange boy leave, the doe got up and ran away from the spot. After making sure she was out of danger, she looked back hesitantly.

Lin Shiyuan walked farther and farther away, and it was almost dark. He finally found a relatively short tree, climbed up in two or three steps, and lay on the branch of the tree to watch the sunset at the edge of the sky.

Not long after, shining stars began to appear in the sky. Lin Shiyuan was in a good mood, and put his hands behind his head, just admiring them quietly.

The more I look at it, the more I think of Xiao Sijin's eyes full of starlight. When he smiled, the starlight really burst out, overflowing with happiness. I don't know how he is now. Since I received his letter last time, There was no other news.

……

At this time, Qi Sijin was not smiling like Lin Shiyuan imagined, but his eyes were red and tears were shining.

"You intercepted my letter! Give it back to me!"

The noble woman is full of pearls and emeralds. There is a row of delicate clothes in front of her, and her ten fingers dyed bright red Danko gently rubbed one of them.

Facing the young son who suddenly broke into his yard without any warmth, he was as indifferent as he was to a strange servant.

The woman seemed to like the material of the material very much, and she said to the maid beside her, "The suzerain will leave the customs in a few days, I want to wear the clothes made of this material on that day, you go to remind me The gold hairpin and jade hairpin that urged me to ask for it."

The maid slightly bent her knees and responded softly, "Yes."

All the people performed their duties as if they hadn't seen a boy who hadn't appeared, and they kept their eyes on each other.

"What right do you have to take my letter!" The young man was impatient and spoke again.

The corners of the woman's mouth twitched slightly, her eyelashes drooped, and she opened her lips lightly, "Since your brother has brought you back, just stay obediently, those people you know outside are not allowed to contact again, if your father finds out, he won't be happy , it will be bad for me to vent my anger."

The woman finally looked up at the young son she hadn't seen for many years, but... there was no warmth in her eyes, but disgust.

Qi Sijin was once again heartbroken by this cruel woman, no!It shouldn't be like this, I'm not a hated kid!He rushed out the door in embarrassment, not daring to take the humiliation of himself again.

Qin Lan looked at the little young master who ran back to the room in a daze with a worried face, got up and knocked on the door, but there was no answer from inside, the young master was so busy that he didn't even have a chance to find someone to help.

It would be great if... that person was here... Only then did Qin Lan think of Lin Shiyuan's goodness, at least the other party can always make the young master happy.

Qi Sijin sat blankly on the bed, and finally couldn't bear it any longer. She hid herself under the quilt and wept secretly. The silence in the room accompanied him in his grief. He didn't understand why his biological mother was so heartless, why she was so cruel to myself...

He silently called out a name in his heart, "Shi Yuan...brother..." This name seemed to have magical power, Qi Sijin gradually stopped crying and slowly fell asleep.

……

Lin Shiyuan woke up from his sleep. He seemed to hear little Sijin calling him. He opened his eyes and saw that the forest was still around him. Lin Shiyuan held his forehead and laughed at himself, "It seems that I really miss little Sijin so much. , I dream of him in my dreams."

Leaping down from the tree, Lin Shiyuan continued to walk forward. Soon the trees gradually became scarce, and large areas of bushes began to appear. Occasionally, he could find some wild fruits. At least he was no longer thirsty.

However, the sun gradually became fierce, and a two-meter-tall old tree appeared in front of him. Lin Shiyuan wanted to go there to rest for a while.

The closer I got, the more I found that the tree had luxuriant branches and many branches, some of which were stretched all the way to the ground, some of which were like broken strings of a kite, which seemed to be unbroken, swaying gently in the breeze.

Lin Shiyuan sat under the shade of a tree and breathed a sigh of relief, took out wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, while studying the terrain in the distance, planning his next route in his mind.

He suddenly heard something behind him, and suddenly turned around to look, strangely, there was nothing there.

The moment Lin Shiyuan turned his head, the big tree seemed to come alive, waving its branches and approaching him, and it was about to touch his body.

Bark!The sap splashed everywhere, the branches were all cut off, the big tree retracted the injured branches, and then stretched out more intact branches to attack the prey.

Lin Shiyuan felt that something was wrong a long time ago. Fortunately, he was more careful. This strange tree looks like a tentacle monster, which is a bit disgusting.

Constantly waving Qing Yuan to cut off the branches surrounding him, Lin Shiyuan gradually began to lose his strength, panting violently, and repeating the same movement mechanically was really tiring.

The big tree also saw that the prey was exhausted, and grew more branches to wrap around him. Lin Shiyuan didn't notice, his feet were entangled and he couldn't move. Lin Shiyuan, whose movements were restricted, was trapped before he could hold on for long. It became a green rice dumpling.

The old tree withdrew most of its branches and returned to its harmless appearance. It put its prey near its roots. It was not hungry yet, and if Lin Shiyuan hadn't run near it, it would not have taken the initiative to attack people.

The old tree continued to fall into a deep sleep, and everything returned to calm, except for Lin Shiyuan who was trapped by the mucus secreted by the branches and could not move.

It's not that Lin Shiyuan didn't try to break free, but the result is that it sticks even tighter. This kind of mucus is like super glue, and it should be heated to dissolve the stickiness, but his mortal body has to be cooked before the mucus is released. It's too cheap for this tree, and I even give it cooked food.

Could it be that he really folded here?The one who died was too unknown, I don't know if someone will hold a funeral for him or something, if little Sijin found out, some would cry...

In the middle of the night, Lin Shiyuan fell asleep unknowingly, and a figure appeared nearby, but Old Shu didn't notice it at all.

Who is licking themselves?Lin Shiyuan opened his eyes in a daze, is that the doe?It was smearing something on itself, Lin Shiyuan thought of the old carnivorous tree, and just wanted to ask it to leave, when he suddenly found that the branches entangled him were loosened weakly.

It seemed that this juice could make the old tree faint, and the doe bit Lin Shiyuan's hem, beckoning him to follow her.

Lin Shiyuan patted its head, expressing that he knew, one deer and one person left this land of death in the dark night.

At that time, the doe walked a certain distance and couldn't bear to see the young man who let herself go into the dead land where almost no creatures stepped into it. It was the territory of the man-eating tree, so she kept following Lin Shiyuan not far behind. Seeing that he was caught, he was sure that he would not be eaten immediately, so he turned and went into the forest to get some sap from the giant tree.

I don't know how long I've been walking, but it's already dawn, and the doe is still moving forward. Lin Shiyuan has no choice but to grit his teeth and hold on. He can't be better than a pregnant doe!

When the sun gradually rose, the surroundings finally stopped thinking about the original forest before, but the ordinary deep mountains that Lin Shiyuan was familiar with. The doe led him to a secret cave entrance, and this time it finally stopped.

Lin Shiyuan looked at this hidden cave entrance in puzzlement. The cave entrance was covered with drooping withered vines. If it wasn't for the doe leading the way, he would never have discovered that this was a cave entrance he could pass through.

"Is this where you live?" Lin Shiyuan looked into the doe's eyes and asked it with a smile.

There was approval in the eyes of the doe, and she walked ahead and got in through a very inconspicuous hole, followed by Lin Shiyuan.
