Chapter 222: Old Medicine Farmer

However, when the three of them appeared around the stone cave, they did not attract the attention of the strange old man, just because in front of the strange old man, it was not only Liang Chen and the three, but also four wild wolves jumping up and down, who were surrounding the strange old man, and the strange old man picked up the black bone staff in his hand under Liang Chen's stunned gaze, and paused on the ground hard.

I only heard a muffled sound like a morning bell and a dusk drum, and a strange scene appeared, the four wild wolves were honestly lying prone in front of the strange old man, and obediently and affectionately rubbing the old man's clothes and pants.

The next scene shocked the three of them again, the strange old man picked up the black bone staff again, but gently raised it above the heads of the four wild wolves, but wherever the black bone staff went, each wild wolf trembled and shrank his head back. Immediately afterward, the strange old man gently tapped the top of each wolf's head with the other end of the black bone staff.

and spoke a thick Qinchuan dialect, which made people feel obscure.

Liang Chen looked at Brother Pao blankly, and Brother Pao looked at Zhuo Yinan, Zhuo Yinan immediately volunteered to straighten his chest, and then smiled: "I can understand Qin Chuan's words, the old man is reprimanding those wolves, roughly saying that a few of them are disobedient and running around, and some guests are coming and rushing out, and they also say that whoever is disobedient in the future will stew and boil them into medicinal food!"

"Eh, could it be that he is also the grave keeper of Qinling?"

Liang Chen muttered: "Taming the beasts is a unique ability of the tomb keeper, these ferocious wolves, in front of that old man, are as well-behaved as a few children, doesn't this explain the problem?"

Hearing this, Zhuo Yinan nodded slightly: "Why don't I go up and ask him!"

"Don't!"

Unexpectedly, Liang Chen was still a step slower, and as soon as the words came out, Zhuo Yinan had already rushed to the front.

I only heard Zhuo Yinan communicate with the old man in a slightly jerky Qinchuan dialect, and here, Brother Pao muttered to Liang Chen in a low voice: "She came from the Northeast, her father is from the Northeast, and her mother is from the Qinchuan area, she met when her parents fled the famine, but in the end her mother followed her father to the Northeast, so since she was born, she has not been to the Qinchuan area much, and the Qinchuan dialect she spoke is half-baked." ”

At this moment, Zhuo Yinan had just finished speaking, but he saw that the strange old man looked at Zhuo Yinan with strange eyes, and then said in standard Mandarin: "What are you talking about?

"What? You can speak Mandarin?"

Zhuo Yinan suddenly wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, but he was a little embarrassed and said to the strange old man: "Uncle, since you can speak Mandarin, why are you talking Qinchuan to those wolves just now?"

When the strange old man heard this, he grinned: "Little girl, you also know that they are just a few wolves, so what is the difference between me speaking Mandarin and Qinchuan dialect for them?"

"Huh!"

Zhuo Yinan was choked by the strange old man's words again, but seeing Zhuo Yinan waving his hand, Liang Chen and Brother Pao quickly came to him, and then Zhuo Yinan asked again: "Uncle, are you the grave keeper in this area?"

"What grave keeper?"

I didn't know that the strange old man didn't know the grave keeper, but perhaps, he deliberately pretended not to know. It's just that the weird old man then said: "You misunderstood, I'm just an old medicine farmer here, I like to grow some medicinal herbs in the mountains, and I have lived for so long, and I have lived for most of my life, what kind of grave keeper you are talking about, I have heard such a legend, but I am so old, but I have never seen what the grave keeper looks like, hehe!"

"It turned out to be a medicine farmer who grows herbs, just now we misunderstood the old man, I'm really sorry!"

Liang Chen immediately apologized with a smile on his face.

"Are you young people lost in the mountains? I haven't seen anyone outside for a long time. You have come just in time, go in and talk. ”

The old medicine farmer was not polite, and after speaking, he turned around and entered the stone cave, and the wild wolves who had just been trained by him were still honestly lying on the ground at this moment, except for wagging their tails, their mouths were open and panting, and their bodies did not move at all. But I don't know what this old medicine farmer did to that wild wolf, and he was able to tame a few ferocious wild wolves like this, which is really amazing!

Entering the cave, Liang Chen found that in addition to some simple living utensils, there were more things, but all kinds of bottles and cans.

It's almost the entire cave, and it's hard to find a place to put your foot.

In the end, the three of them could only sit down against the edge of the old medicine farmer's bed, and Liang Chen hurriedly asked: "Uncle, since you are a medicine farmer, why haven't you seen the herbs you planted?

"Look at what you young man said, what's wrong with the pharmaceutical? If you want the refinery from the outside world to make medicine, you won't allow me to make medicine?"

Unexpectedly, this old medicine farmer was quite upright and full of confidence when he spoke. Then he grinned and said: "You guys are really rare, it's hard for anyone to come here on weekdays, almost in the past few decades, no one has been able to come here, well, my medicine garden is not here, I just live here." If you want to see my medicine garden, I can take you to visit it now, hehe!"

"No need, no need, thank you for your enthusiasm, we came here, just to find the mysterious grave keeper, according to the clues we have collected, the grave keeper should be nearby, uncle, you have been here for most of your life, haven't you really seen what the grave keeper looks like?"

Liang Chen still didn't give up and continued to ask.

"I haven't seen it. ”

The old medicine farmer replied honestly again: "I have never seen a grave keeper, but in this underground jungle, not only my family lives, but there are also other families, so it is better for you to ask them, maybe they know." ”

"They, who are they?"

Liang Chen continued to ask.

The old medicine farmer thought for a while, and immediately replied: "It's two father and daughter, one is older, but not as big as me, and there is a little girl, who is his daughter, they live in the east of the mountain pass, not far from my medicine garden, these two people often run into my medicine garden to steal medicine, but it's a pity that I'm too old to catch up with them, otherwise I will break their dog's legs!"

"Father and daughter?"

Liang Chen's eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood, it turned out that the tomb keeper lived near this old medicine farmer, and he didn't recognize the identity of the tomb keeper, but only knew that they were ordinary people living nearby.

"Since there are still people living nearby, why did you just say that you are alone?"

Zhuo Yinan stared at the old medicine farmer with suspicion.

"They're thieves! they're not human!"

The temper of this old medicine farmer is not small, and he is stunned to say that people are not people, so maybe everything that this old medicine farmer said is worth scrutinizing.

Liang Chen immediately stretched out his hand to stop Zhuo Yinan from having fun with the old medicine farmer again, but asked the old medicine farmer directly: "Where is the father and daughter?" Uncle, can you take us to them now?"

"Looking for those two thieves?"

The old medicine farmer immediately shook his head: "No, no, no, I didn't bother to go to those two thieves, and you guys are really weird, they are thieves, what are you going to do with thieves?

Hearing this, Liang Chen almost concluded that this old medicine farmer was determined to lead the way, but in such a large jungle area, it was really not easy to accurately find the Qu Ziwu father and daughter, and it was imminent to rescue the fat man. Liang Chen's eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Uncle, you take us to find those two thieves, how about we beat them away?

"Can you really beat them away? Just the three of you, don't dream!"

Unexpectedly, Liang Chen and the three of them were not looked at by this old medicine farmer at all: "That father and daughter are not ordinary people, they stole my medicinal materials and refined them into special potions that can drive a hundred beasts, whoever goes to find them will be unlucky, I am too lazy to provoke them, in order to deal with them, I specially trained some fierce beasts, and now I and their well water do not interfere with river water, they don't dare to steal my medicinal materials easily, why should I go to them?"

"Alas!"

Liang Chen suddenly let out a long sigh, but seeing the old medicine farmer looking over, Liang Chen continued to sigh: "Forget it, let's go, since the old man refuses to lead the way for us, then we can only find it ourselves, in the end, the father and daughter are too powerful, the old man is afraid of them, it is also reasonable, we should not be strong!"

Hearing Liang Chen's words, Brother Pao and Zhuo Yinan instantly understood, and the three of them all shook their heads and sighed, and turned around to leave the stone cave.

"Wait! What did you kid just say? You actually said I was afraid of the two of them?"

Liang Chen's agitation method really worked, the old medicine farmer walked up to Liang Chen with a stiff neck, tapped Liang Chen's chest with his fingers, and said solemnly: "Let me tell you! My old medicine farmer has never been afraid of the thief father and daughter, but if he really drives them away, my old medicine farmer will inevitably feel lonely and lonely!"

"Speaking of which, I still don't dare to provoke others, let's go. ”

Liang Chen urged Brother Pao and Zhuo Yinan to continue walking.

"Stop!"

The old medicine farmer was furious again: "I'll let you see, whether I dare to deal with them! By the way, I'll also look at my medicine garden, if they still steal, I won't spare them, go!"

As he spoke, the old medicine farmer walked in front with a black bone cane, and he walked in front with great strides, so Liang Chen couldn't help but be amused, and immediately beckoned Brother Pao and Zhuo Yinan to follow. This old medicine farmer seems ordinary, almost more ordinary than ordinary people, but he dares to say such big things to the tomb keeper, thinking about it, it is not all bragging, you must know that Qu Ziwu and the father and daughter, their abilities have been seen by themselves, and they can not be taken into account, it is conceivable that this old medicine farmer may still have some means hidden but not used!
