Chapter 167: Simply Zen
Tianlong Mountain, on the mountain road. (Baidu search rainbow network)
Xiao Yao was carrying a backpack and holding a very cute-looking little girl wearing a white chiffon skirt. The little girl wore a ponytail, lifted her pink face, stared at her big watery eyes and asked, "Dad, how long is it left?"
"Well...... There is still an hour. Xiao Yao smiled, "I'll hug you." ”
"Don't, don't. Xiao Yue shook her head vigorously, "Dad is also climbing the mountain, and Dad is also tired! Besides, Xiao Yue is not tired!"
Xiao Yao smiled bitterly and could only nod: "Then tell Dad when you're tired, is it okay for Dad to hug you?"
Xiao Yue wanted to shake her head and refuse, but after hesitating for a moment, she nodded again: "Okay, when Xiao Yue is tired, tell Dad!"
Xiao Yao took Xiao Yue's hand, and the two of them walked forward again.
In fact, Tianlong Mountain has been developed into a tourist attraction, the last time Xiao Yao went down the mountain, he walked on the avenue, easier, anyway, he was not in a hurry at the time, otherwise, he would not have met Li Xiaoxiao.
This time, Xiao Yao took Xiaoyue to walk on the trail, which saved half of the time, but the road was more difficult to walk.
However, there are some different scenery that can be enjoyed by walking the trail.
"Dad, it's beautiful here, you've grown up here, huh?" Satsuki asked.
Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, suddenly stopped, stretched out his finger and pointed at a grass: "Xiaoyue, do you know what this is?"
"I don't know. Xiao Yue shook her head and looked at Xiao Yao with a puzzled expression.
"This is called Xia Liang Cao, which is a relief from the heat and can also relieve slight snake venom. Xiao Yao said.
"Dad, what about that flower?" asked Satsuki as she stretched out her hand and pointed in one direction.
Xiao Yao glanced at it and said, "It's called green camellia, which can be made into tea and drunk, activate the blood, and have a good lifting effect." ”
Xiao Yue grinned and said, "Dad, do you know every flower and every grass?"
Xiao Yao nodded, his expression was a little solemn, he continued to walk forward with Xiao Yue, and said in his mouth: "I was beaten up by my grandfather, he had to force me to know every flower, every grass, you will think that the scenery here is very beautiful, but for me, this place is not beautiful at all." ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Yao paused, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "But it's strange to say, I obviously don't like it here, but I can't allow others to say that this place is not good, if someone dares to say in front of me that Tianlong Mountain is a place where birds don't, I will definitely rush up and beat him hard!"
"Haha!" Satsuki couldn't help but laugh too.
After walking for about half an hour, Xiao Yue's face was already a little pale, her calves were trembling, and she had to grit her teeth with every step.
The mountain road is really too difficult to walk, not to mention that Xiaoyue is only five years old this year?
"Satsuki, be obedient, I'll hold you. Xiao Yao said.
"No......" Satsuki shook her head, "I can still hold on." ”
Xiao Yao suddenly didn't know what to say.
He squeezed Satsuki's hand and slowed down.
"Dad, I can make it to the mountain!" Xiao Yue said again, "Don't worry, when I can't stand it anymore, I'll tell you!"
Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, but he could see that even if Xiao Yue really couldn't hold on, he wouldn't tell him, so it was just to reassure Xiao Yao.
This is a girl who doesn't like to trouble others.
Xiao Yue's face became more and more pale, and the beads of sweat on her head were falling down in large pieces, and her clothes were already attached to her body.
Xiao Yue felt that her two legs were like being filled with lead, and it was a very difficult thing to lift her legs and move forward, but she always felt that she could still persevere, and she couldn't open her mouth to Xiao Yao until the last moment.
She thought to herself, it would be nice to walk for five more minutes.
When the five minutes were up, she thought again, holding on for two more minutes.
Two minutes passed, and she felt like she could still hold on for another three minutes......
She kept telling herself in her heart, and then she started to set goals for herself again.
For example, go to the bottom of the tree at the front.
Another example is to walk into the lush grass in front of you.
At the end, Xiao Yao whispered, "Xiaoyue, it's here, do you see that little thatched hut?"
Xiao Yue raised her head, a bright light flashed in her eyes, and she nodded emphatically.
"Do you need me to carry you over?" Xiao Yao felt that Xiao Yue's face had become more and more ugly.
"It's okay, it's almost there. Satsuki gritted her teeth and forced a smile.
Xiao Yao sighed.
Finally, I walked to the door.
As soon as they stopped, the door of the hut was pulled open from the inside, and an old man in a white robe stepped out.
The old man's hair had turned gray, and his eyes were sunken in, but his eyes still shone with wisdom, as if no matter what he did, he couldn't escape the old man's eyes.
The old man's height is about 1.7 meters, and his waist is very straight, what he often says is that his waist is not straight, how can he stand up to the sky.
The old man put his hands behind his back and looked at Xiao Yao with a smile on his face.
"Grandpa. Xiao Yao said.
"En......" The old man nodded, looked at Xiao Yao, and said, "I have a little more energy, but I have eaten too much meat during this time, and my anger is a little big." ”
Xiao Yao smiled, during this time, he almost had a big meal of fish and meat, how could he lack meat?
Xiao Yue looked at the old man timidly, and she didn't know what to call herself.
"Xiaoyue, you also call grandpa. Although Satsuki calls him Dad, at his age, he is at most Satsuki's brother.
"Well...... Hello grandpa!" Xiao Yue finished speaking, suddenly her eyes were dark, her body was weak, and she was about to fall, but fortunately, Xiao Yao was still holding her hand.
"Satsuki, Satsuki. Xiao Yao looked anxious.
Gao Feng's face changed slightly, he walked over, took Xiao Yue from Xiao Yao's hand, and then stretched out his hand and held Xiao Yue's wrist.
"Well, why is the essence consumed so severely?" Gao Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Xiao Yao who was standing on the side.
Xiao Yao said with a wry smile: "She climbed the mountain by herself, I wanted to hug her, but she didn't agree." As he spoke, he added at the end, "It's a path." ”
"Oh?" Gao Feng was slightly surprised, "Huh...... may have practiced martial arts since childhood, and his toughness is good. ”
"Grandpa, you're mistaken, actually...... Xiaoyue has never studied martial arts, let alone any internal strength. Xiao Yao said stubbornly.
"What?" At this time, even Gao Feng was a little uncalm, glared at Xiao Yao fiercely, and scolded, "You are really a bastard, she is so young, and she has no internal strength, you just let her climb the mountain by herself?
After speaking, he couldn't help but pick up Xiaoyue and walked into the hut.
Xiao Yao followed.
Entering a room with good lighting, Gao Feng put Xiaoyue lying flat on a **, which used to be Xiao Yao's sleep.
Then, Gao Feng stretched out his hand, clicked two acupoints on Xiao Yue's chest, walked to a simple bookshelf made of wood, picked up a porcelain bottle stuffed with red cloth, opened the red silk stuffed in the mouth of the bottle, poured out a black pill, and stuffed it into Xiao Yue's mouth.
"It's almost, I guess I'll be able to wake up in a while. Gao Feng said.
Xiao Yao nodded, still standing to the side, without speaking.
"Didn't find the Heavenly Spirit Grass?" Gao Feng said.
Xiao Yao's face turned red and he nodded again.
"Don't worry, no one will blame you, after all, you don't even know what the Heavenly Spirit Grass looks like. Gao Feng stood up, sat on a chair, and waved his hand to Xiao Yao, who also sat down.
"Grandpa, how is the second grandfather?" Xiao Yao asked.
"Fortunately, even if he really can't find the Heavenly Spirit Grass, he won't die, I'm still here, if he really dies, he will die behind me. Gao Feng laughed.
He's a hearty man.
In fact, he also knew that he asked Xiao Yao to find Tianling Grass to embarrass Xiao Yao, so this time Xiao Yao returned empty-handed, and he had nothing to blame, because even he still had luck if he wanted to find Tianling Grass.
"Grandpa, I will definitely find the Heavenly Spirit Grass. Xiao Yao took a deep breath and said seriously.
Gao Feng looked at him a little, touched his goatee, and asked, "This time, how does it feel to go down the mountain?"
I don't know why, when Gao Feng asked this, Xiao Yao's first thought was Li Xiaoxiao, and then Pink Butterfly, Fang Hai, and Song Yilin...... As soon as he thought of this, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
"It seems that it is indeed very exciting. Gao Feng nodded slightly.
Xiao Yao said: "I know a lot of people, a lot of interesting people, they are my friends, my brothers, my ......" He said this, and suddenly paused.
He suddenly found that he didn't know how to say the relationship between himself and Li Xiaoxiao.
"Start at the beginning. Gao Feng said, "It seems that you have a story, wait, I'll make tea." ”
With that, he got up, walked out of the hut, and lit the fire......
Gao Feng is a master of the tea ceremony, and the fur that Xiao Yao knows is also learned from Gao Feng.
Gao Feng likes to add some medicinal materials to the tea, but while adding medicinal materials, it can ensure that the bitterness and fragrance of the tea are not destroyed, which Xiao Yao feels that he will not be able to learn in his life.
He once learned that he used the same medicinal materials, used the same tea leaves, and even the number of tea leaves, the time to boil the water, and the amount of water were all imitated exactly the same, but after the burning, Xiao Yao drank it, and the taste was very strange. He once asked Gao Feng why, but Gao Feng's answer to him made him puzzled.
Gao Feng touched his white hair and said to him: "The people who make tea are different, the people who make tea are different, the people who pick tea are different, and the taste of tea is the same."
Xiao Yao didn't know what was different.
The second grandfather told him: "You are different from your grandfather, he is a person with a story, you are not." ”
Xiao Yao still didn't understand.
Gao Feng squatted on the edge of the tea stove and fanned the fire with a small fan, and not long after, the tea was boiling.
Drenched in water, he walked in and laid out two ceramic bowls with tea leaves and some medicinal herbs in them.
"Some people like to use purple sand cups, or wooden cups, glass cups, when they drink tea...... They feel that the tea brewed with high-end tea utensils, spring water from the mountains, and tea leaves before the rain is the best. Gao Feng held the porcelain bowl and said, "However, many years ago, our ancestors would not have been so complicated!"
Xiao Yao laughed: "Grandpa, you are really a philosophical person. ”
"Simply put, it's Zen. Gao Feng smiled slightly, "Now, it's time for you to tell me your story." ”
Xiao Yao nodded, and after waiting for the tea to brew for a while, he took a sip, and the familiar taste made Xiao Yao's heart warm.
"Everything has to start from going down the mountain, on the way down the mountain, I met a girl named Li Xiaoxiao......"
Gao Feng listened attentively, seriously, and was a very qualified listener.
