The old man's face under the hood was obscure. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Closed disciples or something..... You're kidding, aren't you....."
Xia Qing carefully put down the cup in his hand, with a smile on his face, "Thank you grandpa for saving my life..... I actually have two friends who are still out in the woods...... Well, I'll ....... first."
Slowly moving his body out of the chair, Xia Qing slowly raised his buttocks.
"Wait. ”
The old man also placed the cup on the table.
"You think I'm going to let you go?"
His old and withered fingers tapped on the wooden table, and Wangcai behind him also got up, looking at Xia Qing who was half-squatting with a fierce face.
"Smack. ”
Xia Qing sat back on the wooden bench very unwillingly.
"I really..... There are friends. ”
She struggled to keep her eyes filled with tears. "If I don't go back, they will worry about ......"
"Whew...."
Wangcai suddenly screamed. The green eyes gleamed with menace.
Xia Qing immediately closed her mouth.
Dog fights people!
She silently scolded Wangcai from head to toe in her heart. There was still a smile on his face, "Grandpa, you look at Wangcai, it's really annoying....."
"I don't think," the old man stopped knocking on the table, picked up the tasting cup and drank his tea, "the prey is disobedient and will run away, and it will naturally be responsible for catching it back." ”
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Xia Qing's back.
"It's no joke to accept you as a closed disciple, I do need a disciple, otherwise," the old man took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, he shook it, and poured out a few black pills from it. "All my skills to save people have been lost. ”
He tilted his head and swallowed the pill with his tea.
The sun shines on the thatched house, and the golden patch makes people can't open their eyes.
The old man was dressed in shabby clothes and bathed in golden light, like a sculpture.
"Your friend, they can't get into my place. In the same way, you can't get out without me leading the way. The old man spoke slowly. "You write a letter, and I will send Wangcai to the mouth of the forest. ”
Hearing the owner call his name, Wangcai happily called a few times.
"I'm asking you, Xia Qing. I won't go back to Miaojiang in this life, but if I don't go there, I won't be able to pass on my medical skills. The old man's voice suddenly became a little hoarse, "Saving you may be a fate arranged by God." We Miaojiang people believe in this very much. So ......."
"Are you ......" Xia Qing looked at the face hidden under the hood seriously, although she couldn't see it clearly, she could feel the old man's emaciation, "It's almost gone?"
The old man did not speak, but he did not deny it either. He sat there motionless, looking ahead.
"The azaleas in the woods are blooming, so let's go pick up a few with Wangcai. ”
The old man got up and wanted to leave.
"I haven't said I'm going to be your closed disciple yet. ”
Xia Qing also stood up.
"You guessed it, my days are short. The old man turned and looked up at the sky, "Don't you want to sympathize with a poor old man who is dying?"
The surroundings became quiet. Wangcai seemed to understand the old man's words, and he circled around the old man's feet and licked the old man's trouser legs with his big wet tongue.
"Let the prosperity ..... Help me get the letter out....."
Xia Qing sat on the wooden bench and covered her face with her hands.
Again..... Compassion overflows again!
"Thank you, Xia Qing. ”
The old man lowered his head and thanked sincerely, "Write a letter, I'm a little tired." ”
Xia Qing nodded, and suddenly remembered that he didn't know the old man's name, "Grandpa, what's your name?"
"You just call me Old Man Hua. ”
After the old man finished speaking, he walked into the thatched hut without looking back.
In the small courtyard, only Xia Qing and Wangcai were left, one person and one beast, looking at each other.
Just put her in the yard, he really wasn't afraid of her running away.........
"Wangcai, do you know the way out?"
Xia Qing walked to Wangcai's side and wanted to reach out and touch the hair on Wangcai's body.
"Whew........"
Wangcai bared his teeth and let out a low cry from his mouth.
Xia Qing hurriedly withdrew the hand she had just stretched out, and Wangcai's expression was like she was about to bite her hand off.
"Stingy, if you don't touch it, you won't touch it. What's it called......."
She stumbled to her feet and walked briskly into the thatched hut.
The inside of the house was as dilapidated as it was.
A table and two chairs are all it is furnished.
Old man Hua should sleep in the room in the West Wing. for the door is closed there.
The East Wing should have been for her to live in.
Xia Qing walked into the east wing, which was neat and clean. The room was big but only had a wooden bed.
Seeing the bed, Xia Qing's whole body began to shout.
"Sleep!
Xia Qing heard a voice in his head shouting incessantly.
Her steps moved forward step by step with the voice in her head, getting closer and closer to the inviting wooden bed.
"Plop. ”
Xia Qing buried her entire body in the quilt.
The refreshing feeling permeated her whole body, and Xia Qing wanted to scream excitedly.
I haven't slept all night, and it's so exciting to have a bed.
So, Xia Qing closed her eyes very comfortably, as for the matter of writing the letter, she had already forgotten about it.
Xia Qing was woken up by Wangcai's shouts.
The sound seemed far away and yet very close.
When she opened her eyes, it was pitch black, and for a moment she thought she was blind.
But fortunately, it's not that she's blind. It's already dark.
"Whew. ”
Wangcai seemed to be dissatisfied with Xia Qing's ignorance of its existence, and began to scream again.
Xia Qing turned his head, and sure enough, he saw a pair of green eyes.
"Mom. ”
Wangcai managed to scare her into sitting up.
These green murderous eyes gave her goosebumps in fear.
"Whew~"
Wangcai once again brushed his sense of existence angrily, and this time the cry was louder than just now.
"Don't call me, big brother! I'll be scared when you call me!"
Xia Qing shrank back, and even shrank to the corner of the bed.
"Wangcai is here to make you eat, and you are so afraid of what it will do. ”
The old voice came from the doorway.
The old man still stood in the doorway with his hood and shabby robes as in the morning.
"You can really sleep. In the future, you are not allowed to sleep like this when you study medicine. ”
When Wangcai saw his master, he ran to his master's feet very happily, screamed in a low voice, and circled around his trouser legs.
"I'm sorry, old man. I'm so sleepy. “
Xia Qing touched her head embarrassedly. It was only the first day that the old man knew that she was a snooze.
"Let's eat. “
Old man Hua didn't listen to Xia Qing, turned around and left.
Xia Qing stuck out her tongue at the back of the old man. Put on your shoes and follow up.
"Wait for me!
