The man brought the cub back to the cave and took good care of it every day.
However, the cubs are wild and hard to tame, kicking and biting men at every turn, and they are squeamish and do not eat breast milk.
The man was not annoyed, however, he transformed into a swaddle to wrap the cub's limbs, and specially fetched the nectar and jade liquid for him. Seeing that the cub no longer disliked him, he joked: "You are the god of beasts, and the breast milk of ordinary beasts is indeed humiliating. you."
The cub didn't know if he could understand it, and only screamed "Mmmm" fiercely.
The man chuckled lightly, untied the swaddle and massaged the abdomen of the cub, but was kicked in the chin by the cub.
Xu is that the nectar juice is moisturizing, and the cubs are becoming more and more physically fit. Coupled with the connivance of men, cubs are often seen in the mountains and forests, fluttering butterflies and chasing birds.
Perhaps it was the man who "served" in a safe and thoughtful manner, and the cubs gradually got closer to him, accompanying him from time to time, and there was no longer the scarlet red symbolizing the violence of the demon clan in his eyes.
"Do you have a name?" One day, the man put the straw hat he had just made on the round head of the cub and asked casually.
The cub looked up at him blankly, as if he didn't know what it meant.
"If not, I'll make one for you." The man saw that the green bamboo on the mountain was full of smoke, and the green was like splashing indigo, and he suddenly said: "The overcast cloud is gloomy, and it promotes the detachment of the joints. Since you are an iron-eating beast, you should be fond of bamboo. , I'll call you Yuli."
It's a pity that the cub couldn't understand his intentions, so he lifted his straw hat impatiently and only hugged his legs and acted like a spoiled child.
The man picked up the cub and asked with a smile, "Ali, does it sound good?"
"Hmm! Mmmmm!"
"From now on, this will be your name."
The sun and the moon are unknown in the cave dwelling, but the four seasons rotate in the mountains several times.
Cubs never grow up.
"Master, do you really want to go to the underworld alone?" On the top of the mountain, the beautiful woman's eyes were full of sorrow, and her words were worried.
"Chiyou was defeated, resentment turned into filth and evil, and the girl was infected with cholera. The world has been in severe drought for several years. Although I can walk clouds and rain, I am cursed by Chiyou, and I will never come back, and I will not be able to bring down the rain. In addition to the drought and elephants, the girl must be killed, but she has now taken refuge in the underworld."
The man's clothes were surrounded by fog, his wide sleeves were blowing in the wind, and he sprinkled a handful of spiritual valleys at will, attracting the goshawks circling in the air to grab food: "I'm going here, one is a female scorpion, and the other is A Li, it is a Chiyou mount, deep Infected by evil spirits, his mind and body degenerated to a young age. Without the help of Lingbao, even if Ah Li has extraordinary bloodline, he will live at most a hundred years. I bring him back to the mansion, and naturally I have to plan for him. Three points on the ground, since I have no way to go to heaven, I can only enter the ground."
"But master, you have also been exposed to evil, and the underworld is dirty, I'm afraid it will damage your soul." The woman was still uneasy.
"Don't worry, I've already calculated it, and this trip will be fine." The man smiled reassuringly: "You and Ah Fu are guarding the cave and take good care of Ah Li."
The woman Yingying bowed: "Yes, master."
The dream only came here, and Xie Fei was still a little dazed when she woke up.
He knew a little about the last conversation between the master of the cave and Concubine Xiang.
Legend has it that "魃" was originally the daughter of the Yellow Emperor and was originally a god in the Heavenly Palace. Because he fought against Chiyou and killed the Chiyou people, he was infected with "evil spirits" like Yinglong, and was cursed and could never return to the heavenly realm.
The female scorpion's body is like flames, and wherever she goes, the sun is blazing, and even the world is dry and cloudy for thousands of miles, and there is no drop of rain. Later, the Yellow Emperor summoned Yinglong to crusade against the female scorpion, and the two sides fought decisively on the sea of Huangquan.
In fact, there are many legends related to female scorpions, and the endings are quite different. It is said that the witches burned the female avatar's stand-in to help her return to the upper realm; there are also claims that the female phoenix has evolved into the ancestor of the zombie, or the kangaroo itself, but combined with the dream, Xie Fei found the most suitable match from her memory. of a legend.
He never doubted the authenticity of the dream. If Yan Lai used his eyes to spy on the afterimage of the past, then he was borrowing a dream. As for why he could dream about things thousands of years ago, it should be related to the reverse scale under his throat.
Xie Fei now accepts all kinds of bizarre ancient legends well, but he never imagined that Yu Li's original form would actually be Chiyou's mount - the iron-eating beast? ! Isn't that a living fossil that has survived eight million years of reproduction, creating foreign exchange for the country, engaging in diplomacy, and a national treasure giant panda that has many ardent fans in the world!
No wonder they were kept as pets and hunted.
Thinking about the information Yu Li has revealed intentionally or unintentionally, aside from the part of self-bragging, the giant panda is indeed noble enough, auspicious enough, and mighty and ferocious, but it is now "cute". And the plush giant panda is super cute, and it is indeed an ancient mythical beast. It also belongs to the same bloodline as the polar bear. After all, they are all bears...
Perfect analysis, Xie Fei completely solved the case!
He opened his eyes in the dark, recalled the various things in the dream, and his heart softened, but it was a pity that he couldn't rua himself, and he really wanted to feel the feeling of being hugged by a panda.
However, in my impression, pandas all like basin milk. Why is Yu Li different
Of course, Xie Fei didn't dare to ask, and she didn't even dare to confess to Yu Li that he already knew. He intuitively told him that pretending nothing happened was the best policy.
But no matter how careful he was, he would inevitably reveal a little trace.
"Why do you keep looking at me today?" At breakfast, Yu Li peeked at Xie Fei when he found out that he was okay, and he seemed a little guilty.
"No, no." Xie Fei's eyes flashed slightly.
Yu Li coughed lightly, "I'm not forbidding you to see it, but your eyes should not be too explicit."
"Oh… "
When Yu Li went back to his room to catch up on sleep, Xie Fei found Yinsu's favorite dog blood series to show it to him. Seeing that Yinsu was fascinated, he winked at Ah Fu again, "Brother Ah Fu, can you accompany me up the mountain? Do you want to dig some wild vegetables?"
A Fushang didn't realize that he was being targeted by the boss, he just accepted him happily as the other party valued him.
There are some changes in Houshan compared to the past, because since the government announced the planned route of the high-speed rail a month ago, and it was determined that it would bypass Xining Village, An Mingyi arranged for an engineering team to repair the road, but it was Chinese New Year. There are no outsiders in the mountains.
"Boss, do you think our hotel can really be completed within half a year?" An Mingyi promised to mobilize all resources to repair the hotel as quickly as possible. The construction period is expected to be half a year.
"Yes, didn't the news say that a 30-storey hotel was built in just 15 days. If you are willing to pay for the labor cost, half a year is enough." Xie Fei said absentmindedly: "The hot spring pool has already started construction, Mr. An It is said that it will be open to the outside world in April or May, and then you will know if you can see it.”
"Hehe, Concubine Xiang and I are waiting for the hot spring pool. Since we joined the WTO, we have no spiritual power to protect our body. Every winter is difficult. Only the boss is not afraid of cold-"
"Because his prototype is a panda, right?"
The sudden words made Ah Fu stagger, and he fell into a duel. When he fell to the ground, he was shocked.
"I-I didn't say it, I didn't say a word, it was you who guessed it!" Bat uttered words and looked around in panic.
Xie Fei was speechless: "Brother Fu, can you change back first?"
There was an apologetic smile on Bathair's face, and it looked really scary, but fortunately it quickly changed back to a human form.
"Boss, how did you guess it?" Ah Fu was still thinking about whether he had leaked something accidentally, otherwise why would the boss find him.
In fact, Xie Fei just felt that Ah Fu's tone was not strict and his brain was not very good, so it was convenient for him to talk.
"I dreamed it." Xie Fei recounted the content of the dream without hesitation, "Can Brother A Fu tell me about the past?"
After listening to A'Fu, he only felt that Yu Li was exhausted, and there was really nothing to hide, not to mention that he had long been overwhelmed and wished to say it all at once. But in order to show his helplessness and caution, he still pretended, "Since you have a dream, boss, I will tell you, you must not betray me."
To put it simply, Yu Li was originally a Chiyou mount, very ferocious, but after the battle of the deer, it degenerated into the weakest child form, and was picked up by the former owner of the cave.
"The master raised him as a baby, made him clothes, shoes, and toys..." A Fu said sourly: "At first, he was not appreciative, he often kicked and beat the master, and wanted to run away at every turn, but in the end he didn't seem like a follower. He is chasing after the master every day, and he is very domineering, so I and Concubine Xiang are not allowed to get close to the master... As the old saying goes, when you are three years old, you will see the old man!"
Xie Fei couldn't help laughing. Although he saw this scene in a dream, he didn't know the details, and it sounded interesting, but what he cared about most was what happened after the dream, "What about later?"
"Later, the master went into the underworld to find the treasure, helped the boss to transform into a human form, taught him spells, and helped him practice..." Ah Fu picked out the scenes in his memory and explained it in a succinct manner. Angu: "Two hundred years later, the master fell, and there are only three of us left in the mansion. The boss guards the top of the mountain every day and every night. Although he didn't say it clearly, Concubine Xiang and I both knew that he was waiting for the master to come back."
Xie Fei's heart throbbed violently.
"After that, the spiritual energy will be exhausted and the cave will be sealed, leaving the boss alone outside." Ah Fu couldn't explain why Yu Li, who had degenerated into a beast, didn't die, "Actually, the boss himself doesn't know, anyway, he lives in such a daze. After coming down, he also encountered several life-and-death crises, such as when the bamboo blossomed a thousand years ago, and all the bamboos on the nearby mountains died overnight.
Xie Fei suddenly realized that the great change in the natural environment that Ah Fu was talking about at that time originally meant the flowering of bamboo.
"A hundred years ago, he was shot by a poacher, and he almost died, but at a critical moment, the seal of the cave was inexplicably loosened, and we immediately used the spiritual energy to transform the group of poachers to half-death." Fu Youyou sighed, "Actually, sometimes I think, maybe the master is still blessing him, after all, the master loves him so much."
Xie Fei was silent for a long time, then sighed after a while.
He could hear that Ah Fu was still hiding something, and that everything related to the former owner of the cave had been mentioned in a vague way, but Yu Li's past was almost shaken clean.
"The data says that there were pandas on the mountain before, so could it be my brother?" Xie Fei said regretfully, "I haven't seen a real panda yet, so I really want my brother to change back to his original form..."
Ah Fu suddenly smiled slyly, "It's not impossible for the boss to see his original form. When he first joined the WTO, the boss was very addicted when he knew that there was such a thing as a camera, and it was not until the color film came over that he slowly took selfies. Lost interest... Although a lot of old photos have been destroyed, I secretly kept a few."
Xie Fei was overjoyed and gave Ah Fu a "you know" look.
"I have to look for it. I'm afraid of being discovered by the boss. I hide it very deeply." A Fu scratched his head, "It seems to be inlaid with bricks. Which brick is it?"
By the time the two returned to the inn, it was almost noon. Xie Fei arranged for Concubine Xiang to be in charge of the inn's lunch, while she took the trouble to make a winter bamboo shoot feast for Yu Li.
"Why are all bamboo shoots?" Yu Li came to the table and saw that every dish had bamboo shoots, his eyelids jumped.
"Ah, didn't Brother A Fu and I go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables? We came back when we saw a lot of winter bamboo shoots." Xie Fei had already found an excuse, and A Fu nodded hurriedly.
Yu Li breathed a sigh of relief and said casually, "Although winter bamboo shoots are not rare, they still taste good, and they won't gain weight after eating them."
Although the tone is light, it is very rare to hear such an evaluation from his mouth.
Xie Fei laughed to herself, but she was serious on the surface, "By the way, what about Mr. Bai? I told him in the morning to come to the small building for dinner at noon."
Now that Bai Yan also knows about the half-demon, he can be regarded as his "own person".
"I went out to play with another Mr. Bai." Concubine Xiang felt very resentful when she thought that Bai Yan actually liked the same sex, and dared to tease herself, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn bastard—"
Hearing the sound of "bang", Yu Li slapped the table heavily and became furious: "Damn rat! How dare you scold w—scold Cuicui!"
The author has something to say:
Cuicui: Take me as a gun again!
Liuli: Orcs will never be slaves! (Pity that my original form is not powerful enough, I don’t have the nerve to say it

Congratulations to the readers who guessed correctly!
I don't know what dynasty this sentence is from, "Fan Yin is gloomy, promotes festivals under Li Li." I just give an explanation here, and I won't pay too much attention to it. And all the ancient legends in the text are mixed with unofficial history, just read it as a story, don't be a popular science. In fact, there is also a saying that after being infected with evil spirits, Nvxian and Yinglong were abandoned by the Yellow Emperor despite their unworldly achievements (Yun Bei)
ps, yesterday's comment actually guessed the alpaca? In fact, it is very obvious that the character of um ah and Nei is very obvious. The panda picture posted on Weibo when I started the article is already a clear signal. . (Please review and note that I did not lure everyone to Weibo to read discordant content, but only posted pictures of pandas, which Jinjiang allows!)
