"Woohoo!" Before the owner of the house came out, a big yellow dog rushed over, and Chuan Li stretched out his hand to sweep it, but when he didn't see any movement, the big yellow dog rolled to the side, and immediately squeaked and hid back in the yard.

They looked around the stone hut and found a flat place to clean it up. After a while, the door of the stone house opened, and an old man of half a hundred came out, and Chuan An stepped forward and said, "Old man, we are going to stay here for a few days, disturb." ā€

The old man returned the salute with a smile and said, "Little brother don't have to be polite, where did you come from?" ā€

"We are from the city, and these are our two sons." Chuan An said and led the old man to Xu Shixuan and Chu Shuhuang.

The old man looked at the two of them, bowed and saluted, and said with a smile: "Little Lao'er has seen two sons, and the two sons are really handsome!" ā€

Xu Shixuan said, "The old man doesn't have to be polite, will he have a long life this year?" ā€

The old man stretched out five fingers and said with emotion: "In two years, the old man will be fifty, and he will live most of his life." ā€

"Have the old people always lived in the mountains? Why don't you go outside? ā€

"Get used to it." As if he had finally found someone to speak, the old man continued: "I have lived in this mountain all my life, and in the early years, when my son was still there, I still wanted to go outside to ask for a daughter-in-law for him. Later, when our son fell and died in the mountains, we didn't toss anymore, and when the old ones couldn't walk, they died in the mountains. ā€

Everyone was silent when they heard this, but the old man didn't feel much sadness when he said it, maybe it was too long.

Xu Shixuan asked, "Is it really dangerous in this mountain?" Are all those rumors true? ā€

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't it true? My son went in there. After my son left, my wife and I couldn't eat much, so we didn't go inside, and we dug up some wild vegetables in the surrounding woods and put two wild meats on it. ā€

"Do the old people know what dangers are inside? Wasn't it so good, why did it suddenly become like this? ā€

"I don't know what danger the little old man is, and some people have come one after another over the years, but they haven't seen them since they went in."

"And what about our people?" Chu Shuhuang looked at Xu Shixuan anxiously and asked.

Xu Shixuan comforted her and said, "Don't worry, when they marched and fought, what kind of situation had they not seen?" It's nothing, we'll hear in two days. ā€

The old man listened to the eyes tightly, and looked at them carefully, thick tents, large and small cages, all kinds of utensils, talking about things, he had never seen the exquisite patterns on them in his life, these two people were either rich or expensive!

"You're going to go in too? Think about the old people in the family, it's better to be cautious when you're young. The old man persuaded hard.

"Thank you for the kindness of the old man, our people have already entered, they are not ordinary people, they will definitely figure out those rumors."

The old man turned to look into the mountains, the fog was not too big today, although he couldn't see it really, but the direction could still be discerned.

"What's wrong with figuring out what you can't figure out, isn't it good if you live with you and he lives with him? Young people have to be more serious about this, do they know how worried the elderly in the family are? The old man said with a sigh of regret and walked into the house.

After a while, he came out of the house with a bucket and shouted at them, "If there is water in the well, you can only use it, save yourself from going to the river to smash ice." ā€

"Thank you, old man."

At this moment, several tents have been set up, and the two big tents in the middle are Chu Shuhuang and Xu Shixuan. Cleaning up, chopping wood, chopping wood, Chu Shuhuang had just rested in the tent for a while, and the people below brought two buckets of hot water, took a hot bath comfortably, dried his hair, and made lunch when he missed it.

Xu Shixuan invited her to his tent to dine together, and the soft barbecued meat, cut into small slices, was full of fragrance. The charred chicken wings are placed on a small plate, and a layer of shiny small oil spots emerge from the skin, plus a pheasant soup, a dried vegetable and mushroom soup, and a bowl of white porridge.

"There are no fresh vegetables in the mountains, this is the wild dried vegetables given by the old man, you will use some, the taste is okay." Xu Shixuan said as he filled her with a bowl of clear soup.

Chu Shuhuang tasted it, there was a kind of aroma of green vegetables, nodded and said, "Well, it's good, it's natural." ā€

Then she clamped one wing and put it in front of Xu Shixuan, and then pinched another one and nibbled it herself, the skin was crispy, the flesh and bone were tender, as if she had found the feeling of her previous life, so she simply put down her chopsticks and pinched it with two fingers to eat.

Xu Shixuan saw her eating joy, smiled slightly, and followed suit.

At this time, the two simple stone houses also wafted with a strong smell of meat, and the old man sat at the table, eating meat and drinking the only remaining half pot of old wine. The old woman sat on the other side, nibbling on a vegetable dumpling with barbecue.

"Who are they? This meat is so delicious, we can't bake it. The old woman complimented as she ate.

"That's it! Hurry up and eat yours, what do you care so much? The old man scolded disdainfully.

The old woman pursed her lips and did not speak, but she was muttering in her heart that the life of this rich and noble family was good, and even the big yellow dog stopped barking, and kept wagging its tail to please others.

After a few sips, the old man put down the flask, picked up a vegetable dumpling and nibbled on it, and the old woman looked at him suspiciously, and hurried to the stove to serve him a bowl of dried vegetable soup.

The old man picked at it with his chopsticks and asked, "Where did you make this soup?" ā€

"Where can you get the dishes, didn't you get them out and put them at the door?"

The old man asked, almost in astonishment, "Did you make it with the dried vegetables I put at the door?" ā€

"Ah, what's wrong?" The old woman looked at him in amazement.

"You! You! You're really ......" the old man pointed his finger at her, not knowing what to say, "it's all poured for me!" I can't eat it! ā€

"And you give it back to others?" After the old woman finished speaking, her eyes lit up, then so many good things for them were all their own, but it was a pity that the barbecue meat could not be eaten anymore.

The old woman got up briskly and walked towards the stove, and the old man hurriedly shouted, "Slow! Pick out the wild herbs, throw them into the ashes, and pour the soup into the sewage, so that they don't know. ā€

The old woman nodded her head again and again, and the old man did not want to look at her soulless appearance anymore, so he turned his head to peek out through the gap in the small window.

Two men came out of the big tent in the middle with the used food, and although it was far away, he could see clearly that there were several small bowls stacked in the basin of vegetable soup, that is, they had used vegetable soup. (To be continued.) )
