Preface

The snowy night outside your door,

I stayed indoors in Little Sunnyside.

Do you know who sips tea by the fire?

He was once a man who travelled deep in the mountains.

This is a poem by a friend of mine. I like it very much after I read it. She was beautiful and brilliant, but she liked the ordinary and quiet life. She didn't even want to sign the poem, and I admired her. "This little poem of hers could be said to be a masterpiece of elegance. I thought hard and couldn't relate to one, so I had to make a vulgar poem to continue on like a dog with its tail between its legs.

They all say that it's warm in the middle of spring,

There were also those who suffered from the cold.

With the spring ploughing in place,

The Autumn Harvest was also not far away.

"Boom!"

A huge flash of lightning illuminated the pitch-black night. The torrential downpour was accompanied by a violent gale. On the rugged mountain road, a rider and a rider were speedily running as if they were avoiding something.

It was a man and a woman immediately. The man's hair was disheveled, and raindrops sprinkled on his handsome face. There seemed to be a towering rage in his eyes as he tightly clenched his teeth. Although the woman was extraordinarily beautiful, she seemed somewhat exhausted from the rain.

"Madam, please hold on for a bit longer. After we cross this mountain ridge, we will reach Wolong Village. There is an expert I know there, and we will no longer be in danger."

"Brother Duan, I'm afraid I can't hold on any longer. The child is about to be born!"

The man was just about to say something, but the warhorse seemed to lose all its strength. It lost its balance and threw the man and woman on the horse away.

Despite the man's final effort, he was still unable to control his body's movements. The two of them fell into the pitch-black ravine.

After a night of heavy rain, the clouds finally cleared at dawn.

At this moment, at dawn, colorful clouds filled the sky. At the peak of the peak of the Qi Lan mountain, purple qi suddenly rose. It was exceptionally dazzling as a purple cloud floated towards the sky.

"When the sky appears, it must be the land of Forrester. It seems that it should be here."

At the peak of the mountain, in the midst of clouds and mist, stood an old man with a ruddy complexion. His snow-white beard fluttered with the wind, giving him the demeanor of a transcendent being.

With a hong sound, the old man disappeared and lightning appeared where he stood. He took advantage of the situation and descended from the mountain peak, hacking towards a village at the foot of the mountain.

In an instant, the lightning above the village appeared and became much brighter. At this moment, Lightning had actually turned into a fire dragon. With a ferocious expression, she pounced towards the village.

As soon as the fire dragons came into contact with the villages, the earth began to tremble. Faint sounds of thunder could be heard, accompanied by the roars of dragons. Strangely, when the fire dragon entered the village, it did not cause any fire at all. Instead, it was completely silent, and the fire dragon had disappeared without a trace.

At this moment, the darkness before dawn had returned to the earth. The mountains that were already as bright as day were now as gray as night, as if they were a prelude to something.

On the other side of the Qilin Mountain Range, there was a faintly discernible figure wearing a black cloak that covered his face, making it impossible to tell who he was. There were dozens of people standing behind him. All of them wore black clothing and their faces were covered. They were like ghosts that followed behind them as if they were on a mission.

"After daybreak, kill all the children born today in the village and leave out one of them. All of you will be buried alive."

Dozens of deep voices, like a force of darkness, quickly enveloped the village at the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Wolong Village was an ordinary village in Fire Dragon Prefecture. The villagers had a simple and honest manner, standing apart from the rest of the world, living a peaceful life. The heavy rain of the night had washed the village clean.

There were less than 200 families living in the mountain village today. Today was a happy day, but there were more than 20 families that had increased the population. When Village Chief Duan Guoyi heard the news, he was deeply moved.

"A new force will soon be added to our village, it will become even more powerful in the future."

"Sou!" "Sou!"

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the houses in the village were raided by ghost like shadows. More than twenty of the newborns had suddenly disappeared, and the entire village was in an uproar.

"What's going on? Is it a human or a ghost? "

"Why did you lose all your newborns?"

Village Chief Duan Guoyi was overwhelmed with shock when he received this chain of information.

"Who is so vicious?" He actually stole all the babies in the village? Duan Guoyi's heart was filled with fear as he hurried to the village's ancestral hall and rang the bell that had not rung for a long time.

"Village Head, my child is lost!" "My child is also lost!"

Duan Guoyi decisively gathered all the men in the village, picked up his weapon and began searching the area outside of the village. The group of people searched the mountain valley outside the village and found a man and a woman lying on the ground. They were already dead, and beside the woman was a newborn baby.

"Duan Kun, why is it you?"

Duan Kun slowly woke up. When he saw Duan Guoyi, tears flowed down his face.

"Big brother, I've finally met you."

"What's going on?"

Duan Guoyi and the villagers had rescued Duan Kun and his wife back to the village, and only after further questioning did they finally understand the situation.
