Chapter 4 Up the Mountain

The next day, Mo Ran went up the mountain early, chopped firewood, returned home and cleaned every room at home, and came to the yard, ready to try what kind of power the internal energy cultivated has.

"Ah~~Drink~" Mo Ran stole his horse, stabilized his lower plate, and accumulated luck, and punched the trunk of the big tree in the yard.

"Pan" punched the tree trunk, but the trunk was still intact. "Huh? It doesn't seem to work."

Another punch, but it still had no effect.

"Damn it, is this considered internal energy?" Mo Ran thought to himself.

"Boss~" While Mo Ran was thinking, a slightly tender voice came from outside the courtyard.

Looking in the direction of the sound, a slightly fat boy outside the yard walked into the yard with a little girl.

"Big Niu? Why did you get up so early today? Yaya is here too."

Daniu’s real name is Liu Jinyang. He is the son of Uncle Liu, a hunter in the village. He is two years older than Moran. Yaya, who Moran mentioned, is Daniu’s sister. The three of them have been very good friends since childhood. Because Moran has been warmed by the green medicinal liquid since childhood, and with the training of Mr. Fang, Moran’s flexibility and tenacity are far beyond ordinary people. In this way, Moran is regarded as a warrior by Daniu and admires Moran very much. Therefore, the older Daniu has always called Moran the boss.

In fact, Mo Ran didn't want to mix with his average-aged child all day long. In Mo Ran's words, he had already passed the primary stage of farting, peeing and mud. Of course, that was just from the perspective of his mental age, but there was no way. Who made his actual age less than ten years old? In order not to attract the attention of the villagers, he could only play with the big bull and other children from time to time.

"Do you think I remembered so early, it's not my father. This morning the small bridge behind the village broke. I heard that it was injured. Now, the village chief took my father and a few uncles who could work to the village. After my mother took her to the village, no one went to deliver the clothes made by the Mo family on the mountain, so she had to ask me to deliver them. My mother was not at ease, so she asked me to come to you and go up the mountain with me." Daniu scratched her head embarrassedly and said hehe.

The village where Moran lives is the only village at the foot of Xiaodang Mountain. Since the village is full of honest farmers and hunters, the Mo family takes great care of the village. Every autumn harvest season, the Mo family will send people to buy the excess grain in the village at a high price. This will save the villagers from going to Ziyun City far away for sale. Over time, the relationship between the Mo family members will also improve. The Mo family makes some clothes, chopping wood and other miscellaneous work, and give them some coins, which can also make the villagers an extra income. In the eyes of the villagers, the Mo family is like their benefactor.

"Oh. Yaya go too?" Mo Ran nodded and turned to the little girl.

"Well. Yaya and I have never been to the Mo family. She insisted on going to see what the rich people live in. So my mother couldn't twist her, so she followed her."

"Brother Mo Ran, Yaya really wants to go." Yaya blinked her big watery eyes and said obediently to Mo Ran.

He shook his head helplessly, and Mo Ran said, "Okay. Wait for me."

After entering the house and cleaning up a little, Mo Ran followed the two out of the village.

Daniu's mother brought two boxes for Daniu. The boxes were neatly stacked with clothes made for the Mo family overnight. Although Daniu was tall and fat, the weight of the box was not something he could bear alone. Moran and Daniu carried a box each and went up the mountain.

The winding and detouring mountain road is like a giant python dormant on the mountain. The more you go up, the steeper it becomes. The lush pine trees stand on both sides of the mountain road, which is difficult to walk on, especially the mountain road after the rain is even muddy and slippery. Mo Ran held the box behind his back with one hand and the little girl Yaya with the other. The three of them climbed up with difficulty. Not long after, the fine sweat oozed out of their foreheads.

"Be careful, it rained last night, the road was a little slippery, it was still early, so we don't have to hurry. Walk for a while and it will be a paved road paved with bluestone. It's easier to walk on it."

Mo Ran had been with Uncle Liu once two years ago, so Mo Ran was quite familiar with this mountain road.

After walking for a while, the three of them saw a large building complex on the top of the mountain shrouded in clouds and mist, and the mud under their feet was replaced by neat bluestone steps.

Seeing the end point ahead, Daniu and Yaya became excited and their pace accelerated a lot.

At this moment, a sudden sound of rapid footsteps came from behind him. Before he turned around, he heard a low shout from behind him: "People in front, get out of here."

Hearing the unpolite shout from behind, Mo Ran frowned slightly.

"Ouch~" Before Mo Ran could turn around, Yaya beside her screamed in pain, and her body suddenly leaned back.

Fortunately, Mo Ran was clear-headed and quick-handed, so he didn't care who the person who had rushed forward was. First, he picked up Yaya, who was leaning backward, and then slowly placed it on the bluestone steps in front of him.

"Hey, what are you doing? Do you know if you hit someone?" Seeing that his sister was almost knocked down by someone, Daniu shouted angrily. If it weren't for Mo Ran, Yaya would probably have fallen down the mountain.

Hearing the roar of the big bull and holding Yaya, Mo Ran looked at the reckless figure who was about to come.

The other party was a boy wearing a white long gown. His appearance was a bit green and not handsome, but his demeanor made people feel the nobleness of his identity. A lotus pattern was embroidered at the cuffs of the gown.

"People from the Mo family?" When Mo Ran saw this pattern, he immediately knew the identity of the visitor.

At this time, Daniu also saw that the other party's clothing was exactly the same as the clothes his mother had sewn recently, and also knew that the other party was from the Mo family. However, Daniu was not scared and still said in an angry tone: "Apologize quickly."

"Apologize? Who are you? You are not worthy of talking to me. It is blocking my way. You should be the one who apologized." Seeing the clothes of Mo Ran and the other three farmers, the boy curled his lips disdainfully.

"You..." Hearing the other party's almost unreasonable tone, the big bull became even more angry and was about to start scolding, when a slightly strong arm was placed in front of him.

"Big Bull" Mo Ran shouted softly, stopped the big Bull who was about to attack, walked to the boy, and said calmly: "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention just now."

Although the other party was apologizing to him, the boy did not feel the sincere apology. On the contrary, there was a faint chill in the other party's words.

"Hmph! Be careful of vulgar things in the future." After a sarcasm, the boy no longer cared about Mo Ran and the other two, and rushed towards the mountain with quick steps.

"Boss, he hit us, why did he apologize to him?" Daniu asked angrily in confusion about Moran's actions.

Without answering the big bull immediately, Mo Ran stared at the direction where the boy left, and the fiery anger in his eyes was released without any concealment, and it was only after a while that gradually restrained.

He turned his head to look at Daniu, and Mo Ran sighed, "Daniu, don't be so impulsive, okay? This is the Mo family. Do you think that only the three of us can offend them?"

After hearing the explanation of Moran, Daniu lowered his head unnaturally, but from his red face, it can be seen that his anger has not yet dissipated.

Ignoring the big bull, Mo Ran turned around and looked at Yaya lovingly: "Yaya, is it okay?"

"Woooooo, it's okay."

"Okay, stop crying. Let's go up the mountain." He comforted her softly, and Mo Ran pulled Yaya and continued to walk up the mountain.

After walking for about half an hour, Mo Ran and the other two finally arrived at the gate of the Mo family. The scene in front of them greatly stimulated the three of them's eyes. There were magnificent buildings everywhere, and the pavilions and towers showed their magnificence.

The big bull stayed there stupidly, and Yaya screamed even more: "So beautiful." The two of them completely forgot the dangerous incident that happened on the mountainside just now, and their minds were shocked. Mo Ran was fine, after all, they came once, and they were not as surprised as the two of them.

Without disturbing the viewing of the two, Mo Ran looked around and saw the gatekeeper. He quickly walked up and said, "Two brothers, I am from the village at the foot of the mountain. Come up and bring you clothes." As he said that, Mo Ran put down the box behind him and beat it to the gatekeeper.

"Wait." After carefully checking the box, the gatekeeper walked into the gate. Soon, a middle-aged man walked out with the gatekeeper and saw Mo Ran and asked, "Are you from the village at the foot of the mountain?"

"Well. Uncle Liu asked us to come up. Uncle Liu went out for something and couldn't deliver it to him in person. I hope uncle won't be surprised."

Seeing that although the other party was not old, he was still speaking appropriately, the middle-aged man nodded in appreciation and said, "Put it here, this is the wages. Go back and give it to your adults, don't lose it." As he said, the middle-aged man took a few silver coins from his arms and put them in Mo Ran's hand.

"Hey, thank you uncle." Mo Ran put away the silver coins and was about to leave when he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the corner of his eyes.

"Huh? Isn't this a boy who just went up the mountain?" He muttered in his heart. Mo Ran suddenly pointed his hand at the boy and asked the middle-aged man, "Uncle, who is that guy?"

The middle-aged man looked at Mo Ran's fingers, and showed a proud look on his face. He replied: "He is the great-grandson of our head. Although he is not old and is only thirteen years old, he is already a level nine warrior. He has excellent cultivation talent."

"Huh? Why are you asking this?" I suddenly remembered that the person who asked was just a little kid about ten years old, and the middle-aged man couldn't help but frown.

"Oh. It's okay, I just feel that he is so imposing." I made up a reason and went vaguely.

"Okay. Go quickly. Don't inquire."
