The Ring in the Stone

Boom! Click! A flash of lightning flashed by, followed by bursts of thunder, heavy rain poured down instantly, and a small river ditch was formed on the ground, flowing to the lower ground.

“Feifei, go and close the window so that the rain doesn’t come in.” A middle-aged woman said to a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

“Mom, I’ve closed it a long time ago, don’t worry!” the boy named Feifei said with a proud face.

“Where did your brother go again? He didn’t come back after such a heavy rain.” Feifei Niang looked at the heavy rain outside, and complained a few words with worry on her face.

“Mom, he went to play at the second uncle’s house. What are you worried about? I’ll be back soon after the rain stops.” Feifei persuaded the old lady, and then looked up to check if there was any rain leaking from the roof.

Half an hour later, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, and a rainbow appeared in the sky. There were voices of people talking on the street, the sound of digging the soil with a shovel, and there were cursing people who thought the rain was too heavy and too urgent, and drenched the things in the yard. the sound of.

“Mother… I’m back, brother! My second uncle went to the mountains. I heard that a stone fell from the sky and killed a bear. My second uncle asked me to come back and tell you to help find it.” An eleven or twelve-year-old boy The boy said as he entered the door with his shoes in his hands and bare feet.

“Okay! I’ll go.” Feifei picked up the shovel in the yard, went out and ran up the mountain.

This small mountain village called Gujia Village has more than 30 families. Everyone in the village has the surname Gu, which is a descendant of an ancestor who took refuge in the past.

Feifei’s name is Gu Xiangfei. He is fifteen years old and a student of the Martial Arts Academy. His grandfather, who had been ill for a long time, passed away a few days ago. He asked the teacher of the academy for leave to attend the funeral.

This world is the Tianwu Continent, where the practice of martial arts is the most important thing. There are also a small number of magicians, and relatively few alchemists and weapon refiners.

The realm of martial arts is divided into nine realms: Warrior, Samurai, Martial Master, General, Martial Master, Martial Emperor, Martial Emperor, Martial God, Martial Saint, and the dean of each branch can only be in the Martial Emperor realm.

The Martial Arts Academy has branches in every state capital. It recruits students from the age of twelve, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, and there is no tuition fee. , which are core disciples, inner disciples, outer disciples and handyman disciples.

Among them, the core disciples will be sent to the Royal Martial Arts Academy in the capital to continue their studies, the inner disciples will be sent to the army to serve the country, the outer disciples will be hired by major families as bodyguards, and the miscellaneous disciples will go back to each family to find their mothers. Poor handyman disciples will join the adventure team, but the casualty rate of the adventure team is too high, basically close to death.

Gu Xiangfei will be graduating in five months. His aptitude is mediocre, and he was only promoted to a warrior this year, so he can only be an outer disciple. He is in the same class as him. The student with the best grades was promoted to a warrior last year.

Gu Xiangfei went out and ran to the path in the mountain. The air after the rain was fresh, and some unknown birds were chirping and flying around. The mountain road was muddy, and there was still rain in the low-lying places. Gu Xiangfei was now in the realm of a warrior. Road can not stop his speed.

After half a stick of incense, Gu Xiangfei was already inside the mountain. He looked around, but the surrounding trees blocked his sight. He didn’t see his second uncle, Gu Fengcheng. Far away, the second uncle, Gu Fengcheng, was prying a big rock with a wooden stick in a small valley not far from him.

Gu Xiangfei jumped to the ground and ran towards the small valley. The stones that fell from the sky first landed on the top of the hill, and then rolled down and fell into the small valley. The unlucky bear happened to be crushed to death by the rolling stones.

“Second Uncle! I’ll help you.” Gu Xiangfei ran over with a shovel and shouted.

“Feifei, you came here at the right time. Use a shovel to dig here. When you dig low, the stone will roll down.” The second uncle pointed to the bottom of the stone and asked him to dig here.

Gu Xiangfei took a look at the stone as large as a millstone, and dug it up with a shovel when he found the right place. From time to time, the shovel hit the rock and sparks popped up.

In the time of a bag of cigarettes, Gu Xiangfei dug a hole under the big rock, and the second uncle held a wooden stick against the big rock to prevent the rock from rolling down and crushing him.

“Okay, I can’t dig any more, I think it’s almost done, you hurry to get out of the way.” The second uncle looked at the hole Gu Xiangfei dug.

Gu Xiangfei immediately ran to the back of the big rock. The second uncle pulled out the wooden stick and came behind the big rock. The two found a support point and pried it hard. The stone as big as a millstone shook and rolled towards the bottom of the small valley.

After the boulder rolled down, the big bear that was crushed to death was exposed. The second uncle grabbed the big bear’s leg and pulled it up vigorously. Gu Xiangfei also came to help, and the two dragged the bear to a wide place.

“Give me the shovel. I’ll find some vines to tie up the bear and carry it back.” The second uncle reached out and asked Gu Xiangfei to give him the shovel.

The second uncle went looking for vines. Gu Xiangfei came to the big rock. The blood and hair of the bear was still stuck to one side of the rock. He pressed his hands on the big rock to find a clean place to sit for a while. He was a bit tired from digging the rock just now.

Just as he was about to sit on the rock with all his strength, he suddenly saw a ring embedded in the big rock with his left hand pressing in front of the rock.

How could there be a ring in this rock? After thinking about it, I still don’t understand, so I dug it out first, looked around, and saw a relatively sharp stone, I picked it up and pointed it at the ring inlaidplace, chiseled up.

The big stone was very hard. The sharp stone he was holding could not move the big stone at all. He accidentally broke his hand, and the blood soon dripped down on the big stone and then on the inlaid stone. on the ring.

Gu Xiangfei hurriedly dropped the stone in his hand, he could still bear the pain, but he had to stop the bleeding first, felt in his pocket, took out a piece of paper to bandage the wound, saw the blood quickly wet the paper After getting it through, he took out some things in his pocket, including a few copper coins and a few pieces of toilet paper.

Throw away the blood-soaked paper just now, pick up the toilet paper and wrap it up again. I feel relieved when I see that the blood is no longer there, and I say to myself what a fucking disaster, I have to get this ring out.

He looked around for a few more sharp stones, and came to the big rock, ready to continue digging into the stone and take out the ring.

When he came to the big stone, he was stunned. The ring came out by itself, and his blood dripped around the ring. He picked up the ring and looked carefully. There were several lines carved on the silver-white ring. Pattern, nothing else, just a very ordinary ring.

Just as Gu Xiangfei was about to put the ring on his finger, he suddenly saw a space that was as big as the square of their college. There were many wooden frames inside. The wooden frames were filled with various jade bottles and jade boxes. There are all kinds of ores, and one of the wooden shelves is full of jade stones. These jade stones are of average size and length, and some jade stones are very round. What is the purpose of planting these grasses in such a vibrant grassland?

“Feifei, what are you doing? Come and help me.” Hearing the second uncle calling him, Gu Xiangfei casually put the ring on his left ring finger, turned around and walked to the bear’s body, the second uncle took a bundle of vines and weaved the rope, Tie up the bear and carry them down the mountain.

“This bear weighs five or six hundred catties. This bear skin can be sold for one gold coin, the bear bile can be sold for one gold coin, and four bear paws can be sold for eighty silver coins. The meat is not tasty, but it is still meat. The oil is boiled out, put a little when eating noodles, and the taste is still good.” While walking, the second uncle told Gu Xiangfei about the value of the bear, and how he planned to use the value of the bear.

The second uncle’s house is not far from Gu Xiangfei’s house, there is a distance of fifty or sixty meters. The two carried the bear back to the village. Along the way, they met people from the same village. Machete, one after another asked how to catch the bear?

The second uncle told them with a smile while walking that before it rained, he was digging herbs in the mountains and saw a stone falling from the sky and killed the bear. It was only after the rain stopped that we went up the mountain to get it back.

Everyone in the village said that he was lucky. Things like falling stones from the sky and killing bears would happen to him.

Talking to the folks along the way, I didn’t feel tired. When I arrived at the second uncle’s house, the two sat down in a clean place. When the second aunt saw them coming back, she held a washbasin and asked them to wash their hands and drink some hot water. water.

“Brother, this bear is so big and so heavy!” While Gu Xiangfei was washing his hands, three children ran out of the room, and seeing the bear raised it but did not move, they turned their heads and asked.

Gu Xiangfei saw these three children, his younger brother Gu Xiangyu, the son of his second uncle’s family, his cousin Gu Xianghai, and his cousin Gu Jiaojiao. Each of these three children was two years younger than the other, and the youngest cousin Gu Jiaojiao was only eight years old. age.

“This bear weighs five or six hundred catties, do you think it’s heavy?” Gu Xiangfei smiled and said to his cousin Gu Xianghai who asked him just now.

“Ah! It’s so heavy! I wonder why it can’t be moved.” Gu Xianghai said in surprise.

“Hmph! Brother is stupid! Eldest brother still has strength.” Cousin Gu Jiaojiao glanced at her elder brother with disgust, then turned her head to look at Gu Xiangfei with adoring eyes and said.

Gu Xiangfei picked up this pink and jade-carved little cousin, pinched her pink and tender face and said, “Xiao Hai is still young, but when he grows up, he will become stronger, and then he will be able to hold a bear by himself. Bring it up.”

When Gu Xianghai heard his elder brother say this about him, he immediately showed a look of strength on his face when he grew up.

Jiaojiao blinked her big watery eyes, looked at her brother and thought of how strong he would look when he grew up, and laughed.

“Hee hee…My brother grows up to be as strong as a bear, so I’ll call him Brother Bear, giggle…” Jiaojiao laughed after finishing speaking.

“Then I’ll eat you first, and slap you to death.” Gu Xianghai looked at his younger sister and became furious.

“Jiaojiao come down, don’t let your elder brother hold you, your elder brother is tired after carrying the bear all the way.” The second aunt smiled and stretched out her hand to grab Jiaojiao, snatching her from Gu Xiangfei’s arms and putting her on the ground.
