Yuanwangjiao refers to a huge rock standing between land and sea. The rock looks like a tetrahedron standing upside down on the beach. At first glance, there is no road to the top of the rock. However, people living under this boulder know that this is not the case. In fact, there is a relatively gentle slope on the side of yuanwangjiao near the land. On the slope is a dense forest. As long as you can pass through the woods, you can reach the exposed high point of yuanwangjiao and look at the sea. In principle, this is a good place to develop into a port.
But the water under yuanwangjiao is so shallow that even landing boats often run aground before reaching the shore. And in this shallow water, is the fluffy sand pile, if people step in, will be pulled in half a leg, and then want to pull out can be more difficult. What''s more, the narrow bay is very easy to cause torrent at high tide. All captains frown at the whirlpool and reef. Therefore, at most, only a small number of fishermen who fish in the shallow water will be close to the sea water, and the vast majority of people will keep a distance from the water.
However, not everyone thinks so. Many years ago, an official who took office here thought that yuanwangjiao had great potential to develop into a port. He ignored the local people''s dissuasion and vigorously developed the bay. However, it is difficult for human resources to confront nature in this era, especially when the official lost his official position due to corruption and other issues when the project was half finished At work. After all, the development has been carried out, even if it fails, it will leave traces. The biggest mark left by this storm is the lighthouse built on the exposed rock at yuanwangjiao, which cost a lot of manpower. In the official''s imagination, the lighthouse should have become the symbol of Yuanwang angle, playing the role of navigation and early warning. Therefore, in addition to the main body of the lighthouse, he also built a large-scale mansion around the lighthouse, which was intended to serve as the command center for monitoring the development of yuanwangjiao in the future.
As a result, the completed mansion, together with the half built lighthouse, became the biggest irony of the farce, and no one paid attention to it for several years. It was so remote that even aristocrats who wanted to show their identity would not choose a house without a road for carriage. This idleness seems to continue until one day it becomes a den for robbers or wild animals. But just six years ago, a young stranger came here and bought the house and the land under it from the officials in yuanwangjiao. The young man was generous but low-key, and whenever people in the town wanted to recall him carefully, they would subconsciously think of other things. Their only impression was that the man was wearing a grey robe when he bought the house.
"Thank you." The young woman said respectfully to the shopkeeper after taking over the packaged ingredients. Her respectful attitude embarrassed the boss. Although her clothes were similar to those of others, the woman''s rigid attitude and behavior were reminiscent of the servants around the noble. The shop owner scratched her head after the woman left. The girl appeared in the town five years ago. According to her own words, she was from the house on the rock. But if she really lived there, how could she come to the town to shop every two or three days? You know, regardless of physical differences, it takes half a day for a strong adult man to get to the house from town alone. At the same time, no one has seen the girl riding or riding in a carriage. It''s strange. He thought so, turning around to write down the goods he had sold, but when he wrote, he found that he could not remember what he had sold to anyone.
Such a situation frequently occurs in the town, where the reserved and cultured woman would greet the townspeople, and the townspeople would respond kindly. But when girls leave their sight, they will go through three stages of doubt, doubt and forgetting, leaving only a very vague impression.
After purchasing the last bag of materials, the girl carefully carried a small basket of eggs to the outside of the town, piling up her achievements on a tree stump outside the town. Because this purchase is a monthly purchase, especially many things, she had to pile materials here in batches to successfully complete the purchase. Fortunately, it''s over.
"Hoo." The woman carefully put the egg in the hole of the stump, exhaled, raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead. This kind of work may be hard in other people''s eyes, but in her opinion, it is not a heavy work. Although her skin is still white, planned exercise and adequate nutrition intake make her more powerful than before. She was no longer the weak maid.
As the sky began to tilt westward, a faint mist began to rise in the forest. Lin was not afraid of it. She was used to the scene in front of her. "Step, step" is similar to the sound of horse''s hooves, but some different sounds ring from the forest. A black shadow comes from the forest and stops steadily beside the dead Banshee.
"Good, today''s things are heavy, and there are eggs. You need to slow down, you know?" Lin said softly, touching the black shadow or the giant stag like a bear. It was a large animal with black and brown hair. Its horns curved upward like two thick branches. The buck snorted and trampled gently on the ground with his front hooves, as if in response to the mistress''s words. Lin smiles with satisfaction and turns to take a carrot from the goods and send it to the stag''s mouth. "Eat slowly. There are so many things to buy today. He won''t care if we go back later."The stag rubbed the mistress with his long hairy neck and chewed the reward. In fact, this is really incredible. After all, this deer is for the wizard. In this case, it will be so intimate with Lin, and even make an order to explain to its master. It is abnormal that most of the creatures serving the caster are obedient and cautious. This may be attributed to the peculiar pacifying ability of the succulent banshee, and the stag knows that its master, who strives for accuracy in everything, is especially tolerant in front of the mistress.
After eating, the stag kneels down, allowing Lin to easily put the goods on the shelves on both sides. After the hostess tied up the supplies, he stood up and went to the stump and knelt down again. This time, it was to let Lin ride on his back. Fog, diffuse, deer leisurely walk in the fog, like the embodiment of the forest will, and the Lin on its back is naturally the spirit of the forest. For horses and wheels, steep ramps are not a problem under strong deer''s feet, and the intricate woods can''t stand in any way.
When the man and a deer were about to walk out of the woods, the sun was not even completely set. "Wheezing!" Stag, stop. But there''s a way ahead. It shouldn''t have stopped. Lin felt puzzled. She didn''t understand why the mount on the crotch stopped. "What happened?" She asked, and naturally the deer couldn''t give an accurate answer. But Lin had to turn over and pull the long hair of the stag and let it go with him. But after a few more steps, the deer said nothing.
Lin frowned, even when facing the black bear in the mountain, the stag was not so timid. She looked ahead, and over a small slope she could see the house on the rock. "Wait for me here and I''ll see what''s going on." When she said that, she let go of her hand and moved forward.
When Lin carried her skirt over the rocky slope, she immediately understood why the stag stopped. Because on the rock of yuanwangjiao reflected by the setting sun, beside the house, there was a huge red beast with huge red scales, wings and powerful limbs. No, dragons are not beasts. Migo''s closed eyelids open to reveal lizard like pupils.
"Good evening, dear lady."
