Lin Jue tilted his head slightly and listened carefully.

Sure enough, there was a voice.

"Uh-huh" chirping, doesn't sound like a human being.

Like some kind of animal or an animal's cub.

It sounds a bit pitiful.

Lin Jue still remembered what his elder brother said, that there might be monsters teasing him, and he should stick to his heart and not be tempted, so he ignored it for a while and continued to eat the tart cake in his hand.

It's never wrong to ignore it.

"call……"

The mountain wind blows gusts, and the white clouds in the distance are like waves.

Facing this picture scroll, eating it with mountains and rivers scenery, chewing slowly, this taste, this feeling, how can it not be a fairy life?

But the screams continued.

Not only that, it seems to be clearer and even more pitiful.

"?"

Lin Jue frowned and finally couldn't bear it anymore. He put down the tarts, picked up the hatchet next to him and walked towards the place where the sound came from.

This place is very close to him, only seven or eight feet away.

Lin Jue slid down and saw——

It was actually the cub of an animal.

A little guy with newly grown hair, gray and gray, looks a bit like a dog, but not quite, and at most it is only about the size of a palm.

The little thing was lying on the edge of the stone peak. It seemed that he had become separated from his mother. He turned his head and looked around and kept shouting. When he saw Lin Jue coming, he immediately closed his mouth and stared at him eagerly.

The animal's face was different from that of human beings, and it was impossible to tell whether it was fear or confusion. It was just that its round eyes were staring at Lin Jue without saying a word, making people feel pity for him.

"This is……"

Is it a cub accidentally lost by a wild beast in the mountains?

Or is it the mountain spirit that is trying to play tricks on him?

While Lin Jue was thinking, he looked around and saw no other cubs, nor any animal that looked like its mother.

"Where is your mother?"

Lin Jue held the hatchet and talked to it casually as if talking to a human being.

Of course there was no answer.

The little guy still stared at him with his round black eyes, looking weak, helpless, and honest.

I don't know what I'm thinking about at this time.

Lin Jue frowned.

Not even walking.

Neither is staying.

"Well, if you are really a lost kid, forget it if you don't meet me. If you meet me, you are destined to be with me, and you are lucky."

Lin Jue said this, and did not approach it at will. Instead, he found a slope not far away and sat down, continuing to eat tart cakes, hoping to wait until its mother came back and pick it up.

"call……"

After stopping, the wind became colder and colder.

The little thing still stared at him silently, with the same expression.

Lin Jue was afraid that it was hungry, so he broke off a piece of tart cake and walked over to give it to it, but he just put it in front of it and then walked back to the original place.

Seeing that it didn't eat, he didn't care and continued to sit.

I thought it might still be a little close, so I moved a little further away.

This side can no longer see the strange scenery of strange peaks, forests, and countless rocks, but you can still see the peaks on the left and right, which are granite with cracks and lines, like scissors, like Cloud Gate, with ancient pines rooted in them, and they are still very beautiful.

It's like the mortal world, like a scenery that only exists in the sky.

No matter how long you sit and wait in a place like this, it's never too long.

Besides, I came up here just to see the scenery.

Lin Jue was very patient, even very leisurely.

Until time passes little by little.

The sun itself had passed above the head, and the clouds and mist in the distance gradually dispersed, replaced by smoke rising from an unknown source in the distance, and then the sun began to slowly move west again.

Lin Jue almost slept here.

"..."

When he came back to his senses, the little thing was still lying obediently in the distance. It looked like a small dot from a distance. However, it neither moved nor screamed. I don't know if it was afraid that if it screamed again, it would disturb Lin Jue and eat it.

, but felt a little more at ease because there was another animal next to him, staring at him from a distance with his small round eyes.

The small piece of tart cake that Lin Jue broke off just now has been eaten by it.

The time is getting later and later.

Unknowingly, the mountain wall in the distance has turned yellow due to the sun, and the ancient pines cast slanting shadows on the mountain wall. The mountain began to fog again, showing an unpredictable side.

"Little guy, why haven't your parents come yet?"

Lin Jue came to the little thing again with a hatchet in hand, still unsure whether this was a trick played on him by the mountain spirits.

For example, how about transforming such a little thing, making him pity him so much that he can't bear to leave, stay in the mountains for a whole day, and then make fun of his stupidity? Or wait until the sun goes down and get dark, and then kill him?

Master said that there are mountain gods in Yishan Mountain and the rules are very strict. The spirits in the mountain all know the Taoist priests of Fuqiu Temple. At least on Fuqiu Peak, the latter should not be possible.

The former is quite possible.

At least that's what the yellow dog on the road can do.

But now I lowered my head, looked at this little thing, and saw its confused, restless and helpless eyes. Isn’t this the same person I was more than a year ago?

"well……"

Lin Jue couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing that it was getting late and getting late, I reached out and picked it up, preparing to take it back to the Taoist Temple.

As for whether it’s a weird trick——

If he is not a treacherous and evil demon, how can he use people's kindness as a bait to deceive people? If this is really the case, he would admit it, so let's use a hatchet to speak!
