Chapter 34: Encounter with the Immortals
Huang Xiaoxian took advantage of the old man's absence to carefully look at the surrounding environment, and she found that the white expanse was empty and deserted, without any shelter. And the figure of the old man who left disappeared into the white, blending perfectly with the scenery outside, while the fog sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
She remembered that when she came, she not only carried a bag, but also brought side dishes such as bread and mustard, and by the way, a book, but unfortunately, these things were gone, only these three treasures.
When the old man saw these three things for the first time, his eyes lit up with joy, and he couldn't help but ask, "How did you get these things?"
Huang Xiaoxian's brain reacted very quickly, and he quickly nodded and said, "I wish grandpa a happy birthday, just let me give you a birthday gift." ”
The old man excitedly took the three things in his hand and said, "No wonder you can find this place, it turns out ...... Do you know where this thing came from?"
Huang Xiaoxian shook his head and said, "It was given to me by an uncle surnamed Hu, he is old now and can't come." Huang Xiaoxian saw that the old man was too kind, and his fear was more or less let go.
The old man carefully put the three things in a drawer-like thing, and said to Huang Xiaoxian, "You can sleep here tonight," and as he spoke, he pulled up the curtains one by one, and said: "I will go out when the wind rises in a while, you must not look out, I don't know how long the wind will blow today." ”
Huang Xiaoxian was terrified when she heard it, and she wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask. At this time, there was a sound of wind in his ears, and the old man was like the wind, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The wind sprinkled and reveled. Although the room was not violated, the roar of the wind could be heard, as if a wild horse had been unreined in running without restraint.
Huang Xiaoxian really didn't hold back, lifted the white curtains, and looked out, the fog had dissipated, the wind was roaring, and she was scared with just one glance. Corpses in 'costumes' swirled down, both men and women, in all directions in the direction of the wind.
Huang Xiaoxian didn't have time to exclaim, he sat on the ground and gasped for breath. She was even a little impulsive to rush out, and her eyes were closed and she didn't see the horrors in front of her. But she didn't dare to do anything, just sat on the ground in a daze.
When the old man came in quietly, the wind outside had long since stopped.
The old man looked at the corner of the curtain that was lifted, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's not a coincidence that you came, and the person in charge is not here, okay, if you are destined to come again next time, I will introduce them all to you, but this is not an easy task, first of all, you don't mention this place to anyone, and also, don't say anything about seeing me, if you do, alas...... It's also a matter of nine deaths, you have to think about it. ”
Huang Xiaoxian stood up with a carp and said, "Grandpa, you send me back, I promise I won't say anything." ”
The old man twisted his beard and was happy. The first time Huang Xiaoxian saw him laughing, her heart jumped with fear when she told the truth with that face, and she almost jumped out of her throat. Except for a little black color in his eyes, the old man was all white, even ...... It seemed that her tongue was white, but she didn't look closely, anyway, there was a white image in front of her. She asked, "Grandpa, why are you the only one here?"
The old man's face was still bright just now, and then he dimmed and said: "Alas, I am old, and I can only do what I can, unlike you human beings, although the life span is short, but there is always a head......, isn't it?" It's not easy to get to the end. ”
"What the hell is this place, old man, I think you're a good man. "Huang Xiaoxian has a special hobby, that is, he has a natural sense of security for older people.
The old man glanced at her and said, "I am an immortal, you are a mortal, but we are the last in the immortal world, that is, the persona non grata. Have you ever heard of the end of the fairy world? Didn't you just look out and look? The people who came to us are all immortals who have suffered almost no life. ”
Huang Xiaoxian said curiously: "Aren't you immortal......?
"Yes. The old man said, "Everyone will eventually die, real immortality, there are, but a few." Like you human beings, some are noble and some are down-and-out. And if you do something you shouldn't do, you will also be punished by seven calamities, and it is not uncommon for your soul to be scattered. ”
Huang Xiaoxian asked curiously, "That...... Why don't you come to the mortal realm? You're the boss here?"
The old man laughed and said, "You will know when you come often in the future, that is not okay." Do you want to stay here today? Or do you want to leave right away? If you stay, I'll introduce you to a few people, and if you do, you'll probably be in vain. ”
"Let's go, let's go. Huang Xiaoxian was still scared no matter what she said, she wanted to escape from here immediately.
The old man was about to send her out, and a young man came in at the door, who seemed to be seventeen or eighteen years old, and was also dressed in plain white clothes. He has a wide roof and tight sleeves, like a fairy above the heavenly palace.
He was particularly curious and asked, "Old Ge, where is the little girl from here?"
The grandfather, who was called Ge Lao, didn't speak, handed him the three treasures brought by Huang Xiaoxian and said, "Do you know each other?" Alas, it's a pity, the people of the Sang Lao family are dying and sick, and the rest are all ...... Alas, pitiful. ”
The young man took the three treasures in his hand, and immediately laughed and said, "What year are these things? It's about to become an old antique, isn't it? How can it be in your hands?"
Ge Lao simply repeated Huang Xiaoxian's words, and the young man stopped laughing and said, "So that's the case, he can be regarded as the one who saved our lives, no wonder there is fate." ”
The old man pinched his fingers and said, "Alas, it's almost my life, and I'm sick for a while, it's not easy." ”
Huang Xiaoxian immediately reacted that she was talking about Uncle Hu, and she immediately begged: "Aren't you immortals? Please, can you save him? Do you have any magic medicine? If so, I am willing to ......" Huang Xiaoxian was about to cry, she was reluctant to be the only old man in the unit who had loved her, but she didn't know what she could use in exchange for this medicine.
The old man said: "Girl, your heart is good, but there are some people, no one can change it, not to mention, we don't have that much authority." ”
Huang Xiaoxian's mood immediately became heavy, and she said anxiously, "That...... Is there any good way to make him happier?"
Uncle Hu is still so healthy, how could he leave her so quickly? Huang Xiaoxian didn't believe it anyway, even if she believed it, she would try her best to let him stay in this world as much as possible.
