Chapter 4: On Matters
For a whole day, most of the thirteen people swung their swords like rain, while practicing the art of swordsmanship, while exercising their bodies and cultivating their minds and bodies.
Now that the night is coming, it is time to go back to that home, a blind woman and a half-camel, plus thirteen and a pet, there are only four people in total.
A wall made of countless black gravel cobbled together the dreams of thirteen teenagers, who had several children in this courtyard, but they were all given away. Thirteen was left behind because of his thin body, and since then he has been dependent on two old men for his life.
At this time in the courtyard, a large stone tripod is standing in the middle, and the flame at the bottom of the stone tripod is flickering under the burning of firewood, which is cheering and jumping for the upcoming feast.
Although the blind woman had no eyes, this did not hinder her movements, and the long spoon in her hand slowly stirred the broth in the ding, slowly boiling the smell of meat.
Here, she has been familiar with every movement in her life for a long time, and she knows where to put the things in the courtyard, and she knows what she is going to do next.
Looking at the stone table, the blind woman came out of the nameless juice from the bottles and jars, and participated in the broth in the ding, which immediately made the dings boil and the aroma came to the nose.
It was a medicinal juice made from countless immortal mushrooms, and they were usually kept in clay pots, and only every time like today, the blind woman would take them out and use them.
After waiting for a long, long time, looking at the slow movements of the old man in front of him, Thirteen always thought that the night would be very long, and it would be a long, long time when the sky was bright.
After a short time, Thirteen lay on the stone seat until his stomach growled, and the old man shouted: "Thirteen is up, this time the little old man gave more meat, you must eat more." ”
The little old man, is an old man at the head of this village, I heard that when he was very young, he had no father and no mother, and was raised by a cypress tree that was very good-going, usually very easy-going and honest, so everyone in the same generation called him Little Wood, but more people like to call him Little Old Man.
Because the old man in the village said that when he was young, he looked like an old man, walked like an old man, talked like an old man, and at this age he looked even more like an old man.
There is also a legend along with him, I don't know when the story came out, and I don't know who made it up, it is very popular in these thirteen villages.
said that the little old man was the son of wood, and later a poor Taoist priest named him "Li Changqing," saying that it means eternal green. But the little old man felt that he was not domineering enough, so he named himself "Li Dagen". As for why he didn't say it?
In fact, everyone calls him "Li Dasha" behind his back, and he knows it himself, but he doesn't usually show it.
"Thirteen get up and eat!" the half-camel also shouted, he had been waiting in Dingpong for a long time, and there were several large bowls of saliva.
"You old and immodest person, you can't let some children, what do you always grab with a child? Be careful that you lose your old teeth and no one takes care of you. The blind woman laughed and scolded as she poured soup into the big earthen bowl.
"Hehe, I'm an old bone, I'm not afraid, when the time comes, just find a place to bury it, solve it yourself without bothering others, it's best to bury it under that tree, and I can still guard you in the future." ”
"I'm afraid it's your thirteen, your heart pimple baby, you won't be able to get your mother-in-law in the future, and no one will take care of you. ”
"I can't scold now, I'm destined to be unsuccessful in the future, it's good to find someone to cook in this life, whew, whew, the soup made by my mother-in-law is still so hot for me, when will you change the eccentricity?"
In the face of the teasing of the camel, Thirteen bowed his head and was silent, his thin figure, and his sharp hand and foot skills were not ambiguous at all, sitting on the stone bench and eating bowl after bowl, drinking bowl after bowl, for fear that he would be eaten by the camel if he was slow to take a step.
After the soup, the camel took his pet out for a walk again.
There were already a few people waiting there at the little old man's house at the head of the village, and when fox friends and dog friends gathered together, they were naturally full of joy and full of energy.
"It's been a little wrong lately, brother, I've walked around a few villages, and I've found that the situation is a little good, it's been rumored, it can't be true, right?"
"Pay attention to your words, who are you here to be?"
"Okay, let's get down to business, especially lately, I've been thinking about something, is there something big going to happen, or is the tree above my head going to die again? ”
"No, it shouldn't be the reason for the ancient tree, it should be something happening in the mountains!
"Well, you don't see, what I saw on the top of that tree made my head shiver. ”
"Oh, what do you see?
"Uh-huh, oh, it's okay, it's just that I saw a big murderer passing by, and I was so scared that I quickly climbed down from the tree. Let's discuss what to do?" the little old man hurriedly diverted the subject.
The contemptuous eyes of the people around swept over, making the little old man embarrassed, eager to find a crack to get into.
A few people competed for me to open their mouths, they discussed for a long time, and they just didn't focus on the point, they had to fight for the first, it seems that who loses and who wins is the most important.
"Isn't that a sign of cholera? Otherwise, how could there be so many big things passing by. ”
"There must be something remarkable about attracting so many wild beasts, and such a big attraction is not something ordinary can have. ”
"Well, it can't be some kind of elixir treasure born or mature, right?" someone suddenly thought of his previous experience, and stood up as he spoke.
"Elixir treasure," someone exclaimed.
Everyone also showed a look of surprise when they heard this, excited expressions, and exaggerated gestures, the purpose of which was not easy to express, and everyone understood it.
The stars are bright tonight, and at this time, the heart is beating, the blood is boiling, and when I think of all this, my heart still can't calm down for a long time.
The flame in the heart is burning, the light in the eyes is enough to illuminate the darkness, and an invisible storm is brewing at this time, enough to arouse everyone's desire heart.
"Don't forget that it is the depths of the mountains, full of countless changes, and there are strange mountains and rivers, maybe a vine, maybe a grass, can make us pay for our lives. ”
"It's better not to be too crowded on Huangquan Road, otherwise our brothers will have to compete for the first to come first, and then let others see the joke. ”
The first blow woke everyone up in reverie, but they still had to face the bloody reality, the flames of frenzy had been extinguished, and everyone entered a state of calm again.
The great wilderness, the great wilderness, is full of countless opportunities, but also full of countless traps, life and death are only in a moment, fate is also in the moment of decision, whether it is worth it is all in the hearts of the people.
In the great wilderness, there are countless strange species in the mountains and wilderness, they dominate the sky, drink dew and flowing springs, are not big and strong, and must not easily enter the mountains, otherwise the bones will be difficult to keep.
Everyone here knows that those powerful beasts, some can destroy a city, some can destroy a country, and some can even fight with that human king, if you make a decision easily, I am afraid that the thirteen villages are in danger of being destroyed, and the homeland that the ancestors have developed with great difficulty cannot be easily ......
If you are a little careless, your head will be hot and confused, and it is not for nothing that the entire tribe will be destroyed.
