The old man came out of the cave and looked left and right, and when he was sure that he was okay, he said to the children in the cave, "Come out, no one." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The children slowly ran out of the cave, feeling that there was no danger, and the nature of the children came out again, and they chased each other, but the scope was limited to the village, and they did not dare to make too much noise, for fear of attracting the army under the mountain.

The old man first instructed the children not to run around, and then asked the two children, who looked to be older, to go to a hidden place outside the village to let off steam, and report anything unusual immediately.

After arranging these, the old man invited Qingluan into the simple shack made of firewood and grass, took out a bowl that was about to break in half, poured a scoop of extremely precious water in the mountains and put it on a table that was about to fall apart in Qingluan, took out a worn-out chair and said, "Little brother, please sit down." Qingluan nodded, and sat on the chair that creaked as soon as she sat down, as if it would fall apart at any time.

The old man skillfully began to light the fire, took out some wild grasses and wild vegetables of unknown names, threw them into a pot that had turned black, and made a hodgepodge.

"Old man, is this what you usually eat?" Qingluan suddenly felt a little sad, remembering that the three years on the Xuanwu Star seemed to be much better than now.

The old man sighed first, wiped his eyes with his hands with his back, I don't know whether he was blinded by the smoke or sad, he didn't look back, hunched over and said: "The young people in the village either fled or were arrested to serve as soldiers, and only we, the old and young, were left, and we had to let the robbers and those who were soldiers go from time to time, and it would be good to have something to eat." ”

The hodgepodge was cooked, and the old man scooped a bowl full of wild vegetables and put it in front of Qingluan, there was no oil in it, and some green water could be vaguely seen.

Maybe it was because they smelled the smell of the vegetables, the children who were playing outside ran in, and more than a dozen children gathered around the table, looking at the bowl of wild vegetables in front of Qingluan motionlessly, but no one spoke out to ask for it, only the two or three youngest children couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Qingluan pushed the bowl in front of the children, and said with a little choked: "Eat!" ”

The children still didn't move, and turned their heads to look at the old man who was scooping water into a dozen bowls and putting a few floating wild vegetable leaves in the bowls.

The old man nodded, but more than a dozen children did not fight, the old man came over and served the wild vegetables, divided them into the dozen bowls, picked out half a bowl of soup for the bowl, brought it to Qingluan and said, "Eat, eat to have strength." Qingluan glanced vaguely, and it was still the most dishes in his bowl.

Qingluan took the bowl and drank it in one gulp, and the chopsticks made of twigs picked up the wild vegetables in the bowl and ate them.

"Children, will your uncle invite you to eat meat?" Qingluan put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at the group of hungry children in front of him and said.

The children's eyes widened, the word meat was very unfamiliar to them, they could not remember when they had eaten meat, the old man came and said, "Little brother, don't be so expensive, meat is a rare thing, you can keep it for yourself." "The old man was afraid that Qingluan would go out hunting and attract robbers or become soldiers.

Qingluan couldn't guess what the old man was thinking, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I still have a lot of meat here." The old man went and let the two children who were observing the situation come back as well. ”

"It's not going to be done." The old man was a little embarrassed.

Qingluan took out the meat he had saved from the storage bag and placed it on the table.

There was suddenly so much meat on the table, and the children couldn't help but start swallowing saliva again, but the old man was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again, and said: "The immortals spare their lives, the immortals spare their lives, the old decay is not intentional!" He was apologizing for the scene at the mouth of the cave.

"Don't kill grandpa! Grandpa is a good guy. The children also seemed to realize that the situation was right at this moment, and learned from the old man to kneel down and kowtow to Qingluan and beg for mercy.

Qingluan was surprised, he hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man and said, "Old man, please get up!" The old man didn't dare to get up, so Qingluan had to say, "Old man, get up, I won't blame you." The old man dared to stand up. The old man got up, and the children followed suit.

"Go, go and get those two children back too." Qingluan said to the old man.

This time the old man did not hesitate, there were immortals, even if there were robbers, he was not afraid.

Qingluan set up a shelf outside the house, took out a lot of firewood and grass from the village, and put it on the shelf for barbecue, and bursts of smoke rose, which could be seen for more than ten miles.

When the old man saw the random drifting smoke, his heart was full of emotion, he hadn't seen such smoke for a long time.

The children gathered around the fire, but their eyes were always fixed on the meat roasted on the fire, and they asked Qingluan greedily: "Immortal, when will the meat be good?" The child, who had not eaten enough, asked about the aroma of barbecue, and his stomach rumbled uncontrollably.

"It's almost there." Qingluan looked at the group of children with some pampering.

The meat was cooked, although the children were hungry but not messy, and the old man divided the meat for each child, but he didn't eat it himself.

A child took out his own meat and handed it to the old man and said, "Grandpa, you eat it too." ”

The old man touched the child's head dotingly and said, "You eat, grandpa is old and can't eat." But Qingluan clearly saw reluctance in the old man's eyes.

"Old man, you can eat, I have more here." Qingluan took out all the meat in the storage bag and roasted it.

The meat was soon roasted again, and the old man ate a piece.

Although the meat in Qingluan's hands is a lot for him alone, it is obviously not enough for a dozen people to eat one person's food, and it is also a group of people who have not touched meat for a long time, and the children's faces are full of unfinished expressions.

"I'll go get you some meat again." Qingluan was a little unimpressed.

The old man and the children were also surprised, they had indeed seen the immortals, but they were all high up and did not eat the fireworks of the world, and they were arrogant by nature, and they asked them this and that at every turn, and if they were not satisfied, it was possible to kill them. Today, this immortal is unexpectedly close to people like an immortal.

Although his heart was full of expectations, he always felt that it was a little uncomfortable to let the immortals work for him, and the old man refused with hesitation: "Thank you immortals, we have eaten well." ”

Qingluan smiled: "Don't get in the way, I'll come when I go." The voice fell, and Qingluan had disappeared.

The old man and the children were just stunned for a moment, and then they took out the pot in the house that was already so black that it was not good, and they didn't care about the preciousness of the water, but poured a large pot of water into the pot and burned it on the fire, waiting for Qingluan's meat to come back and put it in the pot.

More than ten miles away, in a country's military camp, a scout ran into the camp tent in a panic, reporting to the marshals and generals who were making war arrangements, and there was beacon smoke and human voices on the mountain blocking their way in the distance, because there were many people, he did not dare to approach.

The marshal let the scout go down, and after a moment of silence, he said to a young general beside him: "This must be a signal from the enemy country, go, bring a pair of elites to eradicate this stronghold, and the others will immediately advance from the village and set up an ambush at the bottom of the mountain to meet the enemy!" ”

Then one after another orders were issued, and the generals performed their duties, setting up ambushes, luring the enemy, and setting up formations, although the army was marching, but the real camp was quiet, and even the neighing of horses was not heard.

The same thing happened in another hostile camp, and the mountain ahead seemed to have become a battlefield of death, and the battle would begin if the smoke was pulled out.

The big war is about to start, naturally there will be no shortage of people who take advantage of the fire to rob, a group of robbers who have lived in the mountains for a long time went along the trail to the location where the fireworks were issued, and the big man led by a scar pierced the entire face, hideous and terrifying. Usually they will always encounter resistance when they go down the mountain to rob, but now it is different, most of the young and strong men have fled, only some of the old, weak, sick and disabled are left, and they have a lot less resistance to rob things.

"Boss, isn't it too early for us to go? The war is not over yet, and if we are treated as an enemy army, we may not be able to withstand the attack of those armies. A seemingly weak young man said.

"What are you afraid of, we have been facing each other for more than a month and there has been no movement, I don't think this battle will definitely be able to start." Scarface said, and then he shook his nose a few more times, and said, "Didn't you ask about the smell of meat?" He couldn't help but swallow his saliva as he spoke, their group of robbers hadn't been bloody for a long time, and it was all a goddamn pointless war.

Naturally, the old man and the children would not know what was happening up and down the mountain, they burned the fire vigorously, if normally they would not dare to do this, but now it is different, there are immortals, they have nothing to fear.

Three different forces came towards the old man and the children as fast as they could, but the old man and the children didn't notice the slightest mistake, and waited for Qingluan to come back with meat with joy.

More than ten miles, a group of people marched in a hurry and arrived at a mile outside the village in less than an hour, the general waved his hand to stop, sent a scout out to investigate, and soon the scout came back to report the situation in the village, the general with the troops felt a little strange, and wondered in his heart, secretly wondering whether there was fraud in it, and he couldn't make a judgment for a long time.

"General, the time is almost up!"

Hearing someone urging, the general finally gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Do it!" ”

The soldiers were well trained and the speed of the shock was fast, and the armies of both sides rushed into the village almost simultaneously.

The old man and the children were stunned, surprised, and frightened, and the children naturally hid behind the old man and sought refuge.

The vanguards of the two armies met for the first time, staring at each other and tense.

Before the situation was clear, the third party roared and rushed in, compared to the pace of the first two parties, this third party was really not very good, it was all a kind of straggler.

The three parties were stunned at the same time, not knowing which side the old man and the child belonged to, and the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing for a while.

"What are you doing here?!" Finally, someone questioned the old man to break the deadlock.

The old man trembled, and said in an almost murmuring voice: "Back to the general's words, the immortal said that he went out to get meat for us. ”
