Chapter 4 Dependence

　　In a lush and reckless wilderness mountain forest. 　　The biting cold wind was constantly wailing, and goose feather snow was fluttering about, all white in the sky. 　　Although the sun had not yet set completely, the mountains and forests in the snowy sky already looked very dim. 　　A forest road is not obvious, winding, in the thick layer of snow cover is almost indistinguishable, but its extension of the end of the light of a fire, in the icy sky and snow through a little warm breath. 　　The place where the firelight shines is the only Mountain God Temple in this mountain forest with a radius of 1,000 kilometers. 　　Due to the scarcity of people, this mountain god temple has long lost incense, abandoned for many years, the outer courtyard of the gatehouse and the courtyard wall has long collapsed, leaving only a dilapidated main hall, standing alone in the same place. 　　Hall of the temple door has long been missing, the door frame at the half-hitching a broken mat, grass cover the temple outside the wind and snow. 　　Through the holes in the mat, one could see that inside the empty hall, in addition to some messy withered grass and masonry, there was also a silhouette that was sitting cross-legged in the middle. 　　That is a tall young man dressed in green, even if sitting on the ground, the figure also looks unusually upright, but the face is expressionless, wooden, just like the broken clay idol behind him, stereotypical, stagnant, lack of life. 　　The tall youth hugged his arms in front of his chest, and between his arms was lying a slender and thin girl, precisely that little fox demon Liu Le'er. 　　"Uh ......" 　　Right at this moment, a low sound suddenly came from the youth's arms. 　　Liu Le'er's tiny head arched towards the youth's arm, and her cheeks that were originally buried deep in front of his chest moved outward by a few points, exposing herself from between his arms. 　　That originally clear and lovely tender little face, at this moment is full of sickly red, obviously still in deep sleep, a pair of beautiful eyebrows but tightly knitted together, tightly closed curtains under the eyeballs can not help rolling left and right, seems to be experiencing an extremely terrible dream. 　　"No ...... don't ...... oooh ......" 　　Accompanied by a burst of dreamy murmuring, Liu Le'er's arm, which was encircling the youth's arm, subconsciously tightened a few points. 　　Half of her small legs also kicked out restlessly from the youth's embrace, her body twisted a few times from time to time, appearing to be very unsettled, and the small face that had just been deflected out of the way was now reburied back into the youth's chest. 　　The youth who was originally looking straight ahead, seemed to have a slight feeling, lowered his head towards the girl in his arms, and his wooden eyes slightly changed, seeming to look a little puzzled, but more still bewildered. 　　"Stone ...... brother ......" 　　Another burst of vague dream words, buzzing from the youth s arms, like the sound of mosquitoes and flies, faintly imperceptible. 　　I don't know if it is the cause of the firelight reflection, the tall youth's face at this time seems to have become a few points softer, and the original empty eyes also have a few more points of light. 　　He did not get up, sitting on the ground rubbing the position, with his half of the body, will leak in the cold wind block, arm slightly moved a few points, will be the girl out of the small legs circle back to their own arms, slightly embracing a few points. 　　The girl's body in his arms shrugged and rubbed a few times, the small head toward his chest and arched, the movement slowly stopped, breathing also gradually become stable. 　　The sky outside the temple has long been dark, the wind and snow that rages between heaven and earth, also in the unconscious gradually small points. 　　...... 　　Halfway up a hundred-foot verdant mountain peak, at the entrance of a three-foot-high cave, a tall youth stood with his back to the cave. 　　Liu Le'er stood behind the youth, one hand tugging at the corner of the youth's coat, one hand hugging his thigh, slightly poking out half of her small face to look ahead, her small face appeared a little white due to nervousness. 　　But see two people in front of a few feet, a foot has two adults high gray hair giant bear, back paws on the ground front limbs raised standing there. 　　Its head was born with a hideous unicorn horn like white bone, a front convex blood bowl mouth lips turned up, revealing a chilling sharp white teeth, teeth bared and low roar, the corner of the mouth trickled out a line of fishy odor slightly sticky saliva. 　　Originally tall youth in front of this giant bear, actually also appeared to be as thin as a child. 　　However, his face is not the slightest expression, just eyes straight at the giant bear, dark eyes such as ink dipping, not much luster. 　　That giant bear stared at the tall youth's face stalemate for a moment, for some reason, face suddenly showed some anthropomorphic fear look, fierce low roar, backward two steps, turn around and drop the front limbs, four-legged wildly fled away. 　　Seeing this scene, Liu Le'er's complexion first slowed down and let out a sigh of relief, then she scratched her head in some confusion, circled around to the tall youth's body and tilted her head to look at him. 　　She stared at the youth's wooden face for half a day, but was unable to see anything different, and couldn't help but reveal a slight color of disappointment. 　　"Brother Stone, Le'er knows that you're not an ordinary person, but it's a pity that you can't speak, otherwise it would be nice to be able to say something to Le'er, alas ...... " Liu Le'er sighed like a small adult, holding the youth's big hand, turning around and walking back to the cave on the mountainside. 　　The youth did not say anything, but his lowered gaze fell on the girl's small white hand that was holding his own, and his body gradually walked into the cave with the other's pull. 　　...... 　　An unknown vast grassland, it is at the time of the grass grows and warblers fly in the spring season, the grass new spring buds have already drawn out, the whole piece of grassland is filled with a grass unique fresh fragrance. 　　A girl of eight or nine years old, carrying a cluster of slender canes full of small yellowish flowers in her hand, rode on the shoulder of a tall young man with a straight figure, walking leisurely forward. 　　Compared to two years ago, the youth has not changed at all, still wearing the same green-colored clothes, but Liu Le'er has been very different from before. 　　The girl's figure is much taller, the small face has faded a few childishness, between the eyebrows and eyes showed some unusual young girls rarely soft and charming, obviously is also a rare beauty embryo, the future of the city and the country is also not known. 　　Just see her ten fingers fast saving, weaving the yellow flower rattan in her hand, her mouth also humming a small song with a light tone, her voice is clear and melodious, just like a yellow warbler crying. 　　"It's done." 　　Before the song ended, the movements of Liu Le'er's hands stopped, and a beautiful garland of tightly knit flowers had already taken shape. 　　She held the wreath in both hands, turned in a circle to measure it, nodded in satisfaction, and with a face full of joy, put the wreath squarely on the youth's head. 　　The size of the wreath was just right, and the closest part of the flower fell right above the youth's forehead. 　　The tall young man seemed to realize, raised his hand and gently touched the wreath, and then slowly withdrew his hand. 　　Liu Leer on the reaction of the tall youth has long been accustomed to, glanced down at his neck at the green rope, cover mouth a smile, mischief-like probe hand a grab, gesture will be lifted the rope. 　　Underneath the youth but seems to be an instinctive reaction, a hand grabbed to the chest, holding the thin rope tied at the end of the dark green ornaments, long refused to let go. 　　"Stone brother stingy ghost, every time so, I just curious to see well ......" Liu Leer cheeks bulged up. 　　Although her mouth said so, but did not really angry, under the body of this stone brother more than two years, never with her words, in addition to rarely react to the outside world, only involved in the arms of this jewelry, only every time the initiative to react. 　　Because of this, Liu Leer will from time to time to play with youth in this way. 　　...... 　　Time is like a white horse passing by, and it is several years in a hurry. 　　A wearing a white shirt and skirt of thirteen or fourteen years old pretty girl, black hair and waist, hands backward, feet lotus root-colored boots stepping light and fast steps, walking in a yellow sand paved official road. 　　Behind her, there is also a tall green man, mute, slow pace. 　　Two people walking speed a fast a slow, step but a small a big, between each other did not pull open too much distance. 　　Walking in front of Liu Le'er, distantly saw the end of the official road there is a green and pale-colored majestic city, at the entrance of the city can be seen many pedestrians coming and going, small as sparrows. 　　She frowned slightly and stopped her footsteps. 　　"Ming ...... Yuan City ......," Liu Le'er squinted her eyes and gazed out for a while, slowly calling out. 　　The tall youth walked to her side and also stopped, looking at the majestic city from afar as she did. 　　"It looks like a big human city ......," Liu Le'er murmured in a low voice, looking doubtful. 　　In the past five years, in order to cure the tall young man's dementia, the two of them had also entered some human towns, but they had never been close to a large city of the size of the one in front of them. 　　"Brother Stone, if you were completely cured, wouldn't you be able to help Le'er take revenge?" Liu Le'er tilted her head and looked at the youth and whispered, but she didn't know whether she was asking him or herself. 　　When the youth heard this, he seemed to have some reaction, and his faraway gaze slowly retracted to look at the girl, but he still did not say anything. 　　"What nonsense am I talking about ah, that is, counting how powerful Brother Stone is, how could he possibly beat so many bad guys from the Blood Sword Society?" Liu Le'er like remembering something again, look gloomy and hang her head, tears beads but indisputably "bar bar bar bar bar" fall down, seeped into the yellow sand on the ground. 　　At this moment, she suddenly felt the top of her head sink, a warm touch came. 　　She slightly raised her head, and saw that her "stone brother" was raising one hand to gently caress her head, with extraordinarily soft eyes. 　　For some reason, Liu Le'er at this moment felt incomparable peace of mind, the body out of nowhere more than a wave of unspeakable courage to, as if there are even greater difficulties no longer fear. 　　She raised the back of her hand and wiped away the tears on her face, the other hand grabbed the thick palm of the tall young man, with a determined face towards the direction of the city gates in the distance and stride.
