Chapter 22: Seeing the Light

Shan Yan looked at Gao Jing with a smile, and patted his little granddaughter's head again.

He took the ebony staff slowly and twisted its head.

I pulled out a huge pipe!

Reaching into his waist, the old sorcerer of the mountain tribe felt out a few dried leaves, rolled them up and stuffed them into the bowl.

The wizened fingers wiped the edge of the bucket wall.

A flame appeared out of thin air, instantly igniting the yellow-brown tobacco leaves.

A wisp of green smoke then wafted up.

"Grandpa. ”

Shan Guo'er immediately said: "I'll give you a beating on the back." ”

"Hmm. ”

The old wizard bit the cigarette holder and nodded merryly.

Shanguo'er quickly moved a stool behind the old wizard and jumped on it.

She clenched her hands into fists and expertly tapped them on the old wizard's shoulders and back, again and again.

What a well-behaved little girl!

Gao Jing completely ignored the other party's body shape, and only felt that the scene in front of him was very warm.

It was getting dark.

The old wizard lit the oil lamp on the table, smoked a cigarette, and chattered a lot to Gao Jingxu.

The mountain tribe to which he belongs is a very ancient tribe that has flourished in the Great Wilderness for thousands of years.

Two months ago, the mountain tribes had just migrated here from a swampy area thousands of miles away.

New villages were established.

The tribe currently has a population of over 700 and has several totemic warriors.

Since Gao Jing can listen to or not speak the Great Wilderness language, although he still has a lot of questions and things to know, he can only be an honest listener for now.

After talking about his tribe, the old wizard talked about it, and told Gao Jing the story of traveling when he was young.

However, Gao Jing still listened to it with relish.

He now has a strong memory, and although he can't remember every word the old wizard says, he has no problem joicing down important points.

But as the old wizard spoke, his eyes were no longer clear and bright, his eyelids were constantly fighting, his head was pounding down from time to time, and his pipe was no longer smoking.

The words spoken began to become vague and inverted.

Gao Jing was confused when he heard it.

"Grandpa. ”

Shanguo'er next to him couldn't listen to it anymore, so he reached out and pushed his grandfather.

"Ahh ”

The old wizard seemed to wake up from a dream.

He looked left and right a little dazedly, his gaze refocusing on Gao Jing.

"Uh, where did I just go?"

Gao Jing shrugged.

He couldn't understand what the other party had just said.

Shan Guo'er pouted and said, "Grandpa, the moon has come out, you should go and rest." ”

"Ahh ”

The old wizard nodded, "I'm going to sleep." ”

He put his pipe back into his cane, stood up and was about to walk out the door.

"That's right!"

After taking two steps, the old wizard stopped again.

Patting his bald head in annoyance, he turned to Gao Jing and said, "Look at my memory, by the way, guests from the abyss, you can stay here at night." ”

"It's safe, and no one else in the clan will break in without my permission. ”

"Also..."

The old wizard instructed his little granddaughter, "Shanguo'er, go and get some food for the guests." ”

"No hassle. ”

Gao Jing waved his hand, opened his backpack and took out a large bag of dry food and signaled, "I have something to eat." ”

Although the copper anchor is convenient for storage, it takes the power of faith to access items, so Gao Jing usually stores some common items, including food and drinks, in his backpack.

He didn't see that the other party had prepared dinner, maybe he had already eaten it, so it was not good to trouble the little girl again.

And if the food is not to the taste, then it is not to eat, and it is not good not to eat it.

So simply refuse.

"It's fine. ”

The old wizard was as kind as a stream: "Shanguo'er, then you go back to rest with your grandfather first." ”

"Hmm. ”

Shan Guo'er nodded vigorously and took his dry hand.

The old wizard said goodbye to Gao Jing: "I'm out of company." ”

Gao Jing hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Leading the old wizard and taking the little yellow dog with him, Shanguoer left the wooden house.

The old wizard's abode is right next to it.

Another wooden house.

When she came to the room, she whispered to her grandfather, "Grandpa, that little man is a little strange." ”

Although Gao Jing looks pitifully weak, the little yellow dog can fight ten.

But the little girl always felt that something was wrong.

The old wizard lit the oil lamp and sat down on the wooden bed.

He took his granddaughter's hand, his eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said earnestly: "Shanguo'er, each of us has our own secrets. ”

"You have to remember not to go into other people's secrets, because that would be a great offense to them. ”

How could the old wizard not notice the strangeness of Gao Jing?

The ancient relics he had seen were also very different from Gao Jing.

But the old wizard won't go to great lengths to dig into Gao Jing's secrets, unless Gao Jing shows hostility to the Hill Tribe.

The wilderness is vast, and I don't know how many tribes have been buried for thousands of years.

In addition to irresistible natural disasters, man-made disasters are also the root cause of the demise of many tribes.

The mountain tribes have survived to the present, of course, and have their own way of survival.

This includes "prudence".

Shan Guo'er nodded as if she didn't understand.

She was too young to understand the wisdom of the old wizard's words.

But the little girl listens to her grandfather the most.

"Go ahead. ”

The old wizard's eyelids began to fight again: "Grandpa is going to sleep, you don't play too late, and rest early." ”

He's too old.

If you talk too much, you will lose your energy and be slow to respond.

But he could not relieve himself of the burden of protecting his tribe and guiding his people.

"Hmm. ”

Shanguo'er helped the old wizard to lie down on the bed.

After watching her grandfather fall asleep, she quietly blew out the oil lamp and left the house with the little yellow dog.

And at this moment, Gao Jing's mood is very uncalm.

Because he's just seen the other side of the world.

Then the existence of extraordinary power!

The word "wizard" alone is enough to make Gao Jing have endless associations.

The old wizard Shan Yan gave him an unfathomable feeling.

Talking about the talismans, rubbing the fingers and igniting the fire, these are not magic tricks, but real magic power!

Gao Jing couldn't help but wonder, can he learn and master this power?

It's exciting to think about.

Squeak~

Just as Gao Jing was thinking about it, the door was opened again.

Shanguo'er is back.

She was carrying a little yellow dog with a ...

Nest?

Gao Jing was a little confused.

He saw the little girl come over and jump on the chair and put the bird's nest in her hand in front of him.

???

Gao Jing had a question mark on his face.

The bird's nest is a real bird's nest, with a diameter of two meters and a height of more than half a meter.

In addition to the dense stalks of dead grass, there are a few gray feathers stuck to them.

What made Gao Jing speechless the most was that he saw an egg.

A cyan bird egg bigger than a basketball!

Gao Jing doesn't understand.

He looked at the bird's nest, and then at the mountain fruit.

What does that mean?

Shan Guo'er tilted her head, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the bird's egg, and brought it to her mouth.

She tilted her head and opened her mouth, snorting the eggs hard into her teeth.

Syllable!

The eggshell cracked, and the egg white and yolk inside suddenly flowed out.

Grunt!

Shan Guo'er swallowed all the egg liquid in one gulp, and licked her lips unsatisfactorily.

She threw the torn eggshell to the ground.

The little yellow dog immediately pounced and swallowed it cleanly.

After eating the eggs, the little girl pointed to the empty bird's nest and said in a milky voice: "You will sleep here at night." ”

It's a bit of a milky look.

Gao Jing finally understood, and couldn't cry or laugh.

Dare Qing was afraid that he would have no place to sleep, so he deliberately brought a bird's nest over.

By the way, I added a meal to myself.

But somehow, there was a hint of warmth in his heart.

After thinking about it, Gao Jing opened his backpack and took out two chocolate energy bars.

Tearing open the plastic wrapper, he opened his mouth to bite one of the bars and lifted the other aloft.

Hand it to the little girl.

Shan Guo'er was stunned for a moment.

Gao Jing patiently maintained the holding motion high, while at the same time showing a friendly smile on his face.

Slowly bite the long energy bar into your mouth and eat it.

Shan Guo'er understood what Gao Jing meant.

She hesitated, then cautiously extended her right hand.

Using your thumb and forefinger, gently pinch the energy bar handed by Gao Jing.

Burst!

The chocolate bars instantly turned into powder between her fingers.

Gao Jing smiled bitterly.

Although the energy bar he carried was more than ten centimeters long, it was too small for Shanguo'er.

Shan Guo'er raised her fingers stained with chocolate powder, and suddenly stretched out her tongue and licked her fingers.

Her eyes lit up.

Gao Jing swears.

At this moment, he really saw the light in the little girl's eyes.

Bright and bright, the light of joy and happiness!
