The reason why Jiang Yue wanted Xiaomao to take them for a walk was mainly because she felt that with so many orcs on this mountain, it might be a spiritual mountain.
Maybe living here will be good for the eldest cub?
In ancient times, the choice of place names always had its own unique features.
Whether from the perspective of astrology, the idea of "harmony between man and nature", or the belief that it is related to the king's birthplace, these three dimensions fundamentally reflect one problem: why are names related to the sky so extraordinary?
And this mountain is called Tianxia Mountain.
The mountain behind their Jiangjia Village is twice as big as this one. There is no word "tian" in its name. It is called Qixia Mountain. Although it sounds nice, it is not domineering enough.
This is getting off topic. Jiang Yue entrusted the mule to the injured White Tiger and Black Snake. The kitten was in their hands anyway, so they used it as a "hostage" for exchange.
Jiang Yue didn't know how tempting their mule's big, fat butt was to Baihu.
Every time the white tiger sees one, it drools and wants to chase after it and bite it. This is much tastier than the refugees who are all bones and no meat...
The rain has stopped now, but the mountain road is difficult to walk on. This place has been deserted for more than half a year and is full of weeds and thorns.
Jiang Yue just lay obediently on the wolf's back and followed the kitten's footsteps.
After a while, Jiang Nian let out a low roar and stopped the kitten.
He looked back, puzzled.
Jiang Yue pulled off the weeds wrapped around her body and said helplessly, "You are small and can get around easily. Could you please consider the two of us?"
"Go to the main road."
The kitten scratched its head, looked left and right, and then changed its way.
Jiang Yue: I have a feeling this cat isn't very smart. Aren't there some cats that look cute and adorable, but are actually suffering from cerebral palsy?
Kitten: You insult me!
This time the path the kitten led was normal.
Jiang Yue became more and more certain of her guess that the animals and plants here were very spiritual.
They came upon a towering tree. Its trunk was so wide that seven or eight people could hug it, and its canopy spread out like a giant umbrella, enveloping them. One can only imagine how awe-inspiring it would be to see this tree again in the remaining seasons.
At this time, the tree had experienced a disaster, with half of it withered and the other half still green, resembling the "Yin Yang Tree" in Tiancheng Temple in Wuyi Mountain.
The breeze blew, the forest creaked, Jiang Yue looked up, as if he could feel the Zen meaning of "half withered and half flourishing".
The world is full of wonders. We should always maintain awe for nature.
“Squeak…”
The surviving little squirrels were running around among the tree trunks.
The kitten quickly jumped up the tree trunk, ran after its prey, and disappeared behind the branches.
After a while, he came back dejectedly, squatting on the ground and licking his cat paws with the nails cut flat. He occasionally glanced at her, as if blaming Jiang Yue for destroying his ability to survive.
Jiang Yue ignored it and continued walking forward.
Passing a small, flat valley, the kitten paused. He turned back, seeing that the other man showed no signs of anger. He pursed his lips, stretched out his paw, and plucked a wild flower from the roadside. He walked over to the charred spot and placed the flower on top.
Jiang Yue knew that this meant to pay tribute.
She looked over and saw the charred area had merged into a circle. Judging from its shape, it was obvious that this was once a small house, but now it had been burned to ashes.
If it was caused by a wildfire, there were no signs of burns around it. If a wildfire had started, the entire mountain would have been engulfed in flames, not just that small area.
There must be something else going on.
The kitten no longer looks as innocent as before. It seems a little sad, with its ears drooping. Could it be that the owner of this house is its master?
"Baby, I want to come down."
Jiang Nian half-pressed his back and let her slide down.
As Jiang Yue walked around the small valley, she felt more and more that the previous owner of this house had chosen a good place.
There is a bamboo grove behind the house. Although it is now dead, it will soon grow again with the spring breeze. The swaying bamboo adds a lot of elegant and graceful interest to the house.
The land in front of the house is fertile and the soil is loose. If the climate returns to normal, it will be quite suitable for farming.
She looked around but couldn't find any lakes or rivers. Where people live, there must be water. The previous owner had chosen to build their house here, so it was natural that they wouldn't be too far from a water source.
"Kitten, where's the water?"
The kitten pursed its lips: "No one has ever called him that. Although he's much smaller than wolves and tigers, he's still very fierce! He should be called Elvis!"
——He calls himself that; he is the only cat in this mountain.
The reason why Jiang Yue was confused about whether he was a tabby cat was because this was the first cat she had seen in this world.
The kitten didn't know where the other two were going; he only wanted to lead them to a place he was familiar with. After passing through the bamboo forest and walking a few dozen meters, there was a lake behind them.
The lake is quite large. After more than half a month of heavy and light rain, the water has overflowed the border.
Jiang Yue squatted down and scooped up the lake water with both hands. It was quite clear, unlike the muddy flood at the foot of the mountain.
"Splash--" There was a soft sound, and ripples appeared on the water surface.
Jiang Yue was surprised. There were actually fish in the lake now? Could it be that the water was still flowing?
The kitten next to me had already lit up its eyes.
She looked closely and saw a few strands of crystal water flowing from the corners of the kitten's mouth...
This is not only a not very smart kitten, but also a greedy kitten.
