Tang Tiantian, the Zhu of crossing

In Zhutang Green City, Uncle Guan's rooster was lost again. After reporting it to the county government, the police quickly caught the thief.To their surprise, the one who stole the chicken this time was the same kid who was caught before. He was ten years old and didn't like to talk much.

"Child, why are you stealing chickens again? Didn't I tell you last time, if you steal again, I will spank your ass! Your behavior is wrong..." The head catcher began to educate again.

In fact, they are still very impressed with this child.Because the usual thieves are ragged and unkempt, this child is dressed in a clean and refreshing attire, even the ribbons that tie his hair are very particular, giving the impression that he is the kind of child who is not short of money.

So why on earth is he stealing again and again?And it was full of loopholes!Every time the police caught him, the child was still surprised, which was very puzzling.

However, the policemen have a lot of things to do every day. Although they have doubts, they are just fleeting thoughts, and they will not delve into it at all.What's more, it's not a big case, and it's a ten-year-old child with no family. Strict education is enough.

Therefore, after a round of education, the police sent the child to a special rescue hotel, and the case was closed.

Looking at the policemen who were gradually disappearing from sight, the child's face became more and more depressed, feeling that he was very disappointed.

The child turned his head silently and looked at the room crowded with more than ten people.

Some people are sleeping, some are mending clothes, some are eating steamed buns and drinking porridge, and some are making handmade gadgets that can be sold for money.Most of them just looked up at the new kid, and there were also kind-hearted people who turned a deaf ear to nothing and were busy with themselves.Obviously, everyone has long been accustomed to the frequency of personnel turnover in this place. No one is a high-level person. It is good to take care of themselves, so why bother with others.

Perhaps feeling that he was being left out, the child lowered his head, walked to the corner by himself, curled up and squatted down, and stared blankly at a certain point.

It wasn't until the conversation between two people attracted the child that the child raised his head slightly and listened carefully.

"Do you know who is the most popular in Zhutang now?" Man A asked.

"Of course it's those dignified court officials, or the current emperor!" Man B replied casually.

"Wrong! Those high-ranking officials and dignitaries are not known to ordinary people. Only those kind of heroes will spread among the people and become household names." Man A looked like he knew everything.

"Then who do you say?" Man B seemed to be a person who doesn't care about world affairs.

"The Four Heroes of the Red City!" Man A seemed to have endless words to say when he mentioned this, "At the martial arts conference in the Red City, they fought against strange beasts and saved the rivers and lakes. Full of praise for the new knight."

"Which four heroes?"

Man A continued: "There are two descendants of the hero Minyue, one holding the Minyue Heavenly Sword and the other holding the Earth Sword. Song Shuyue, the man of the city, is really young and promising! The other two are Xu Changlin, who has been missing for ten years from Tianditang, and his apprentice. His apprentice’s real name is not clear, because his weapon is a bow and arrow, and he is accompanied by a group of people. A spirit bird, people call him wild man! And Xu Changlin is a poison man, because he is proficient in all kinds of poisons, and he can always poison you before you have time to react!"

"Alas..." After hearing this, man B sighed and said, "It doesn't matter how great he is, it has nothing to do with us. Tomorrow he can eat well and dress warmly, that's enough. We are different, don’t be envious!”

"Look at your pursuit, you are destined to spend your whole life like this!" Man A expressed his contempt for Man B.

"Cut." Man B looked indifferent.

And their conversations were all heard by the child. After meditating carefully for a while, he seemed to be in a better mood, so he got up and went to an empty bunk, lay down and rested.

In the early morning of the next day, the child left the rescue inn early in the morning.

He first went to the mountain graves outside Green City, dug out an iron box that should have been buried in advance, opened it, took out the purse inside, stuffed it into his sleeve, and left quickly.

Then when they came to the Green City Inn, the child went straight to the steward, explaining why he came: "I want to rent a carriage to take me to Blue City."

The steward glanced at the child, waved his hand and said, "Go! Go! Go! Don't play here, go home quickly."

The child knew it would be useless to talk too much, so he reached out his hand and took out a gold leaf from his purse, and handed it to the steward, "I'm really going to Blue City."

The steward stopped moving, looked at the child, slowly took the gold leaf and looked at it carefully, and bit it with his teeth. After confirming that it was real gold, the steward calmly said, "Is there any official approval?"

The child did not speak, but took out a gold leaf again, and stared firmly at the steward.

The steward knew that this was a useless question. How could a child get official approval when he went out?No one could resist the temptation of money, so the steward didn't ask any more questions, and went directly to arrange a carriage and driver for him.

After a while, the carriage and driver were arranged, and the child got into the carriage and told where he was going.

"The blue city does not return to the mountain." The child said every word clearly.

The carriage had just driven out of the post house, when the coachman heard the destination, he immediately braked suddenly, the horse almost fell down, and the child hit his head hard.

Lifting the curtain of the carriage, the coachman turned around and asked, "Why didn't you say that you will not return to the mountain, I will not go there!"

The child quickly took out two gold leaves: "Please, just send them down the mountain!"

"But..." The coachman was visibly shaken and hesitated, "That's not going back to the mountain..."

The child quickly took out two more coins and stuffed them all into the driver's hand.

After all, the coachman still couldn't resist the temptation and agreed to send him this trip.

The carriage was galloping at high speed, and the driver looked back slightly at the child who was staring out the window in a daze, and couldn't help becoming curious: "Hey, child, why did you go to Bugui Mountain alone? It's the place where the three villains live. You can only get in and out!"

I don't know if the child heard the coachman's inquiry, anyway, he has been in a dazed state, seems to be thinking about something, completely isolated from the outside world.

Seeing that the child ignored him, the coachman stopped talking and concentrated on driving.However, he must have been depressed for a while.

Blame the kid!

After a two-day trip, they arrived at the foot of the Mountain of No Return.After the child got off the carriage, the coachman still asked worriedly, "Son, do you really want to get on?"

The child nodded, and the coachman said again: "Hey, child, what's your name? Is there any last message that I should convey to someone?"

The child stared at the impolite driver for a few seconds, then said softly: "My name is Zhuo Yao." Then he turned his head and left, heading straight towards the mountain of no return.

The coachman looked up at the towering Mountain of No Return, and suddenly felt a gust of dark wind behind him, so he quickly jumped into the carriage and accelerated away from this terrifying and gloomy place.
