1. Chapter 1 The Legend of the Green Python

It was just dawn, and the sun was on the other side of the mountain like a shy little girl, but before his red face was revealed. However, beside the winding river, a group of seven or eight-year-old children under an old locust tree embraced by several people seemed to be arguing about something.

"Die Dogs, you're talking nonsense. Everyone in and outside the village knows that our mountain is called Qingmang Mountain, and even our village is called Qingmang Village and the river in front of us is also called Qingmang River. The Qinglong you said must be Qingmang." A child who looked elf, who was wearing a coarse cloth clothes but was extremely neat and mocked loudly, and kicked a few pieces of mud under his feet into the river.

"Big Tail, you... my father told me in person that the mountain should not be called Qingmang Mountain, it should be called Qinglong Mountain, because my father said that his grandfather had seen the Qinglong on the mountain when he was chopping wood!" The person who was called Gou Zuo was already blushing, but he was still roaring word by word.

"Haha...haha...haha" A crisp voice came from various laughters to "Brother Gousheng, your father's grandfather has really seen that big python...ah...no... does the green dragon? Did your father say what the green dragon looks like?" asked the girl wearing a small red dress and two small braids on her head.

"Sister Xiaohong, I don't know if my father's grandfather has ever seen me. This is what my father told me after drinking. My father has never deceived me." Gou Sheng defended loudly.

I heard that the children who were talking about it after drinking started laughing again.

At this time, a thin child came over from the village, but he wore a bamboo hat on his head, a medicine basket on his back, and a medicine hoe in his hand. He walked closer and saw how many layers of woven burlap had been sewn inside and out! Then what appeared on his pretty face was definitely not the peace and indifference that a seven or eight-year-old child could have!

"Ah...ah...ah...ah Aqiu, brother Qiu, little monkey... went up the mountain to collect herbs again?" The children greeted differently.

"Tiger head, stone, big tail, dog leftover, Qinglan sister, little Hongxiu, haha, don't have to go to Mr. Peng's homework today? You guys have fun, I'm going to go up the mountain to collect herbs. I'm getting up a little late today, and if I don't go, I won't be able to pick up much medicine!" The boy in front of him smiled and greeted his friends.

Among the children at this time, the tiger head was the oldest, nine years old. The dog left, big tail, stone and brother Qiu, who was called the little monkey, were both in the same year, eight years old.

In addition, Qinglan is Xiaoqiu's cousin, and the little girl named Hongxiu is Shi Tou's real sister. Because she is a mountain village child, except Qinglan and Hongxiu, the names of other children are all kinds of, such as tiger heads, dog eggs, tails, etc., in the eyes of elders, the more casually called children, the easier it is to raise them. As for the one named Shi Tou, it is said that her mother was born after she was tired of planting in the forest. Of course, the name of her daughter is also called Honglan and plum.

In fact, the real result was that the Dongzhu Empire was the current Dongzhu Empire respected Wu and was only thinking that its descendants had learned a good skill and then went to Qingcheng outside the mountain to get a good job! On the other hand, on the other hand, relying on the mountains and water to eat water, Qingmang Town has not known how many years has existed, and there are not many villagers who have actually gone out. For the simple mountain people themselves, they know that a pound of fish caught in the river can be sold for three cents for a pheasant on the mountain can be sold for 18 cents, and most of them are just barter. This is like a paradise isolated from the world.

Xiaoqiu's name Yi Qiu was also asked by his mother in the town for three old hens who had been raised for many years in the town to ask about the old master in school. In the words of the old master, Yi Qiu is easy to seek, all kinds of things are easy, all causes are good, and you can get it directly, but don't ask it in the song!

As for the nickname of Little Monkey, it is because Yi Qiu has been urinating in the river to fish, climbing trees to pick fruits and picking bird eggs, and he is now so proficient in everything and can be compared with monkeys.

"Brother Qiu, is it fun on the mountain? Usually my father and mother don't let me get close to the mountain. Can you take me to see it? Hongxiu pulled Yi Qiu's sleeve and said softly.

"Yes, let's go together, little monkey, you teach us to identify herbs, and then all we pick belong to you, which is much faster than you collecting herbs by yourself!" The child Wang Hutou shouted loudly, and after that, he glanced at Qinglan.

"Brother, just take us with you. We will go to Mr. Peng to learn martial arts tomorrow. Although my family usually says that it is dangerous on the mountain, I think you are not going to do anything if you go every day?" Qinglan stared at Hu's head and ran to Yi Qiu and jumped.

"Yes, you have to bring it with you today. If you don't, we will go there by ourselves! Anyway, we have decided to go today. In addition, don't use unsafety as an excuse. You should know that if we have been studying art with Mr. Peng for several years, it will be no problem to fight you four or five! Yes, that's right, that's it." Big tail dog left and others are attached.

Yi Qiu looked at the little girl with headaches, and said, "You can take you, but you must follow me when you go to the mountain and don't run around, otherwise I won't think I'll take you to the mountain to collect herbs in the future. Although you often go to the mountain, you'll only go to the foot of the mountain, and you must never go there. This way, you will go find some sticks or something, I'll wait for you here."

"I just knew that Brother Qiu was the best... Humph, I dare not take me there..." A group of children chirped and scattered.

In less than a quarter of an hour, children gathered together one after another, and the things in everyone's hand were also called Yi Qiu and funny. Some of them had fire sticks, latte hooks, and kitchen knife and shovel. The most helpless thing was that the two little girls had a slender bamboo with red sleeves. It seemed that they would break if they touched them a few times. Yi Qiu's good sister Qinglan was holding a net bag that Yi Qiu had woven for her before.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's go." Big tail announced in a very bad mood.

Then a group of seven children jumped and followed Qingmang Mountain outside Yiqiuxiang Village.

"Little monkey, what mountain do we want to go to to collect herbs?" Big tail suddenly touched Yi Qiu and asked.

"Qingmang Mountain! Are there any other mountains here besides Qingmang Mountain?" Yi Qiu was stunned.

"Yes, Gou Sheng said that this mountain should be called Qinglong Mountain, because his father's grandfather once saw Qinglong on the mountain!" Big Tail squeezed and smiled at Gou Sheng. He still remembered the previous debate.

"Yes, Brother Qiu. You often go to the town to change the medicine. What do the people in the town say about this mountain? Are there really dragons on this mountain?" Hongxiu asked curiously.

Yi Qiu thought about it and said, "The storytellers in the town often say that there is a big python living here. It sometimes plays in the Qingpython River and sometimes plays on the mountain. You see, our village and town are surrounded by mountains, and the only way outside is the winding Qingpython River. The scholars in the town also said that there was actually no river here, but there was a tunnel left behind by the python after walking on the ground, and the surrounding mountains were also made up of the soil circled by the python when walking."

Tiger head sneered and said, "Look, this river is hundreds of feet wide, and the mountain is so high. I heard that no one can climb it yet. In this way, all this is really how big the snake is if the python is made?"

"Yes, my father has eaten fishing and going outside. He said there is also a river outside that connects to the river here. How could there be such a big snake in the world?" Gou Sheng said suspiciously.

"Yes, yes, brother, you are a lie." Xiao Qinglan also joined the opposition.

Yi Qiu looked at the friends who were full of no confidence on everyone's faces and smiled bitterly: "Stop talking about you, I actually don't believe it either, but these are all said by the storytellers in the town. They also said that there was actually a god living on the mountain, and that big python was raised by the old god! Hey, there was a strange place here," and Yi Qiu said to himself.

The children laughed, "Little Monkey, are you telling stories? Are you still gods?"

"Don't laugh anymore. I heard from my brother that I never lie to me." Seeing his brother being ridiculed by his friends, Xiao Qinglan decisively stood up to defend Yi Qiu.

"Yeah, don't laugh anymore, monkey, continue talking, is that old god also raised a monkey? Actually, you are the monkey, right?" Gou Sheng said, covering his stomach.

"Die Dog Leaves, dare you laugh at me? Don't call me monkey! Please call me Brother Qiu, or I call you turtle, turtle..." Yi Qiu was a childish character after all, and started to have a fight with the children.

"Little monkey, look at you who are very gentle, thin, and crawling around the mountains every day. If you don't call you a monkey, you're a bear, it's not like you!" Big Tail laughed.

"Stinky tail, you still call me brother little monkey, then I will call you a big bed bug in the future!" Qinglan hurriedly helped.

"Do you still want to listen to the stories I tell about the story of the storytellers in the town?"

Yi Qiu blocked everyone's words with one sentence and continued, "The storytelling people say that the jackals, tigers and leopards on the mountain often go down the mountain to hurt people. But the animals on the mountain here are not to mention going down the mountain to hurt people. Sometimes, sometimes they raise pigs and sheep and other pigs and sheep to eat grass at the foot of the mountain and never saw any wolf, tigers and leopards to eat them. And the dog leftovers, have you said that your uncle chops wood every day? Once, after crossing the foot of the mountain, he just cuts up a few more trees and seems to be unconscious for no reason. When your third uncle found your uncle, he found that he was still sleeping soundly in a depression at the foot of the mountain?"

Gou Sheng also thought, "Yes, how could my uncle explain that he didn't believe me at that time, and they all made fun of my aunt for bullying my uncle at home and making me exhausted, but it seems that when we were young, our family told us that it was safe as long as we didn't cross the foot of the mountain? Why is that? Why are there such strange rules? Are you afraid that we will cross the foot of the mountain and get angry with the old god?" Without waiting for him to say that he was playing with Gou Sheng was laughed at.
