Chapter 141: What Is Home
In the Dragon Falling Mountains, the mountains are steep and full of cliffs.
Therefore, most of the animals and birds in the mountains live on the cliffs.
Among them, apes are the most common.
When the night comes and the campfire is lit in the campsite, the cries of the apes can be heard in the dark mountains.
At this time, the girl named Xiao Ai would silently look to the north and think about something.
The night before leaving Dragon Falling Mountain, the road was no longer steep. According to Huo Feng, the road will be more and more gentle after crossing the steep mountain in front of them.
It was here that an unexpected episode occurred.
After camping out at night and lighting a bonfire, Huo Feng cooked a pot of pheasant soup with his iron pot. The fragrant smell of pheasant soup attracted an ape out of the mountain.
The screech sounded, and the ape was lying on the crown of the tree not far away. It was curious and greedy watching Huo Feng and others eating, but it didn't dare to approach.
At first, they didn't take it seriously. Even the little Gu eagle was too lazy to pay attention to the ordinary ape and was busy pecking at the meal served by Huo Feng.
The little Gu eagle, who used to eat raw meat, also fell in love with cooked food and stopped eating raw meat.
The pheasant in this pot was caught by Gu Yan in the mountains before sunset.
In the end, Gu Yan and Huo Feng were full.
Lu Heng didn't eat too much because he didn't really need to eat.
At last, there was some pheasant left in the bottom of the pot, which was put into a bowl by Xiao Ai alone.
Beside the campfire, the little girl held the small bowl filled with pheasant and threw it. The hot bowl flew to the mountain forest not far away and hovered on the crown of the tree just in front of the ape.
The ape screamed with excitement at this scene and ran away with the steaming bowl of pheasant.
It quickly disappeared into the forest.
Huo Feng was surprised to see this scene.
Sister Xiao Ai, who always has a cold personality, unexpectedly invited the ape to eat? He can't understand.
Lu Heng looked at the scene quietly, shook his head and said nothing.
After Xiao Ai watched the ape leave, she didn't say much, sat aside with the Heavenly Thunder Sword on her back, crossed her knees, closed her eyes, and continued to cultivate.
It seems that what she had just done had no impact on her.
But Lu Heng sighed and said, "Xiao Ai."
The little girl opened her eyes and looked at the Wolf God, who was smiling at her.
"Walk with me," said Lu Heng and walked outside first.
Xiao Ai was confused, but she quickly followed.
As for Huo Feng and Gu Yan, they stayed to clean up the leftovers near the campfire and clean the pot.
The cold moonlight shone in the mountains.
Far away from the light of the campfire, Lu Heng and Xiao Ai stepped on the tiny moonlight and looked at the steep mountains scattered with faint silver light.
There were many scattered trees on the opposite cliff.
In the caves on the cliffs, there were birds and animals.
The Dragon Falling Mountains are dangerous, but there are still many living beings living here.
When they came to the cliff, the moon was high in the ask, and cries of apes were echoing in the mountains.
Their sorrowful cries sounded in the dark mountains with an inexplicable feeling of distant emptiness.
Lu Heng looked back with a smile at the little girl behind him and said, "Are you homesick?"
Under the moonlight, the little girl was stunned, but she shook her head and said seriously, "No."
This reply surprised Lu Heng.
Because he could feel that Xiao Ai was telling the truth.
However, it seemed that this little girl was missing Hanyu Mountain recently.
The little girl looked at Lu Heng and said seriously, "Where is the Wolf God, there is Xiao Ai's home… So Xiao Ai is not homesick, because the Wolf God's side is Xiao Ai's home."
Lu Heng was stunned by the words of the little girl.
Later, he was amused.
This little girl is young. What she said is very interesting.
It seems that her mother who taught her knowledge in the past was also an interesting person. Otherwise, she wouldn't have such an interesting daughter.
Lu Heng smiled and said, "Even if you don't miss home, don't you worry about Sun Yan? That White Ape is alone in the mountains, and I don't know if he can take care of himself."
In the end, Lu Heng could not help sighing.
He was a little speechless.
When he and Xiao Ai left Hanyu Mountain, spring just started.
Now, looking back, it was already late autumn. Everything withers and winter was coming.
They had been outside the mountain for half a year.
Sun Yan had also lived alone in the mountain for more than half a year.
Lu Heng's sigh made Xiao Ai silent for a while.
Then the little girl said, "Xiao Ai is only worried about whether the White Ape is lazy in his cultivation and whether he can harvest the corn in the field."
"If the temple is not cleaned regularly, dust will accumulate with time."
Xiao Ai said, "And as the guard of the peach garden, if he doesn't pay attention and lets the birds and beasts in the mountain eat the peach fruits…"
At last, Xiao Ai's eyes became cold, and she seemed to be thinking about how to punish that lazy White Ape.
Lu Heng had to shake his head and said, "You are too strict to him… Ha…"
Lu Heng said, "He has a lively personality, but he has changed. Maybe the loneliness in the mountain can also encourage him… Alas…"
Lu Heng wanted to comfort Xiao Ai, but when he said that, he himself even started to doubt if Sun Yan could do well in the mountain.
They looked at each other in silence.
Finally, they both let out a long sigh.
And shook their heads at the same time.
A while later, Lu Heng smiled bitterly and said, "If he was really too lazy and didn't do anything, you could punish him as much as you like. This time, I won't stop you."
Lu Heng's words brightened the little girl's eyes.
Xiao Ai immediately nodded and said, "Understood!"
Although the expression on her face was still cold, the little girl was in a happy mood.
Lu Heng smiled, but he sighed and silently prayed for the White Ape in the mountain.
At the same time, in Hanyu Mountain.
The White Ape sitting cross-legged in front of the Wolf God Temple suddenly shivered and woke up.
"Ji? Ji?"
Under the moonlight, the White Ape looked at the surrounding darkness with some fear.
He didn't know why. At that moment, he suddenly felt a sense of impending disaster…
