"I can walk on my own. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Hibiscus felt a little distressed about Zhen Wu, he was obviously seriously overdrawn physically.

"It's okay, I can hold on a little longer." Although Zhen Wu was physically tired, his tone was firm.

Seeing that he insisted, Mu Hibiscus lied: "I'm not comfortable lying on my stomach, you better let me come down!" ”

When Zhen Wu heard this, he did obediently put the hibiscus down, but then he picked it up with both hands, "So that your stomach won't hurt." Hibiscus was a little crying and laughing, originally wanting him to take a break, but it turned out to make him change to a more tired position.

"But I'm a little hungry, shall we stop and take a few bites?" Hibiscus changed his words.

Zhen Wu put the hibiscus down, "Okay! Zhen Wu took out the food and kettle hanging on his waist and handed them to Mu Hibiscus, who took the kettle and took a sip of water, and only remembered after drinking it that Zhen Wu seemed to have only prepared a kettle before.

"Do you want water?" The hibiscus was handed to Zhen Wu.

"I'm not thirsty! Keep it for you. ”

Hibiscus stood up, "You take a sip of water too, or I'll think you hate me for being dirty and don't want to use what I've used." ”

Zhen Wu was a little embarrassed: "I didn't mean that!" ”

"Then you drink it right away!"

Zhen Wu took the kettle, "I didn't deliberately prepare one, or I forgot you when I bought it, so I was embarrassed to drink water along the way." Zhen Wu scratched his head and continued: "If I forget it next time, you can punish it however you want." ”

Mu Hibiscus patted Zhen Wu on the shoulder, "In the future, you will be my brother, we don't have to be so clear." There are good things that can be shared! ”

Zhen Wu was afraid that Mu Hibiscus would think too much, so when he heard her say this, he relieved himself, lifted the kettle and took two big sips.

For the rest of the journey, Zhen Wu still insisted on carrying the hibiscus on his back, and when he came down the mountain, it was completely dark, but it was a fortunate thing that he did not encounter any fierce beasts in the forest!

After walking a few hundred meters down the mountain, Mu Hibiscus saw a simple courtyard in front of him, and a wooden board was placed at the entrance of the courtyard, on which were written two crooked characters "Hotel" with a brush.

Mu Hibiscus motioned for Zhen Wu to put himself down, looked at the inn and asked Zhen Wu, "Where does this place belong?" ”

"This is the border of the Wood Country!"

Hibiscus was very excited, from the departure here, non-stop walking for more than half a month, finally can see the shadow of the hometown, smell the air of the hometown, appreciate the blue sky of the hometown, there was no feeling when I was here before, after losing once, I feel very kind to see it again, even the most ordinary things that I felt before have now become extremely precious, it should be said that this is the lost and regained!

"Do you want to stay in a hotel?" An elderly man in his sixties walked out of the inn, looking at Hibiscus with a smile.

"Yes, is there still a room?" Zhen Wu asked.

"Yes, there are not many people who go up to the mountains to hunt during this season, and the rooms are idle. Come in with me! ”

The old man led Zhen Wu and Mu Hibiscus into the inn, and found that the yard was full of all kinds of vegetables, some with shelves, some with sheds, which looked like a colorful oil painting.

"It's all my own cooking, it's better than the fresh ones I bought!" When the old man saw Hibiscus staring at his vegetables, he proudly showed off to her.

Hibiscus smiled at the old man and followed him into the house. The house is all made of wood, and although there are only a few simple rooms, the inside is not only very clean, but also neat and orderly. On top of that, on every table, on every windowsill, and in every corridor, there are pots of bright flowers.

"How do you grow your flowers, and how do you have them in all seasons?"

"Haha......" The old man stroked his beard happily and handed a pot of flowers to Hibiscus. Mu Hibiscus took it and looked at it, and immediately looked at the old man. She turned around and asked Zhen Wu, "Can you tell if this is fake?" ”

"I didn't see it when I first came, but it can be fake!"

Hibiscus smiled and asked the old man, "You are so good at crafting, why are you hiding in this place?" Don't you think it's a pity? ”

The old man's face was full of love, and he looked at the hibiscus as if he were looking at his own child: "You look tired, why don't you go sleep for a while." How about you wait until you wake up to eat and drink enough and then listen to my story slowly? ”

"Okay!"

Hibiscus was indeed tired, and fell asleep after lying in bed for a while. I used to have nightmares all the time, but now I really understand that I can't dream when I'm tired to the limit!

Mu Hibiscus slept until dawn, but Zhen Wu, who was in the adjacent room, got up before dawn, he looked around the hotel and made sure that there was nothing unusual before returning to the hotel.

When Zhen Wu returned to the hotel, Hibiscus hadn't gotten up yet, but the old man had already made breakfast, and Zhen Wu knocked on the door and shouted to Hibiscus, asking her to get up and eat something. When Hibiscus got up, she first thought of the old man's past, and invited the old man to tell her about her experience before she started eating. But what Hibiscus didn't expect was that the old man did have a story, but it was a sad story.

It turned out that the old man was a gardener, and he not only took care of all kinds of gardens, but also made colorful fake flowers. His craft ushered in a beautiful love for him, but he often did not go home, was busy with his career all day, and did not even accompany his wife when his daughter was born. Later, his wife became seriously ill, and when he rushed back, he found that his wife was dying. He accompanied his wife for three days and three nights, exhausting all the precious medicinal materials he could use, but he still could not save his wife's life. After the death of his wife, he no longer wanted to work, and stayed at home all day to accompany his daughter. But a year later, his daughter was lost. He searched the streets like crazy, and saw all the children who looked like his daughter pulling and looking. He searched for 3 whole years, and in these 3 years, he did not go home once, did not take a bath, did not even eat a full meal, and was in a mess every day, just looking for his daughter wholeheartedly. After 3 years, he finally figured out that the reason why he became a loner was probably because he had never learned to care about others before, and he thought that this was God's punishment for him, so he took out all his money to build a private school and donated it to the poor. Then I came here and built a small courtyard to provide convenience for hunters who go up the mountain to hunt and pedestrians who pass by. Every time the people who came to stay here said thank you, he felt that it was more precious than any wealth, and his soul became more and more satisfied, so he stayed here for more than ten years.

Hibiscus was a little curious, "Haven't you ever thought about leaving here?" After all, you are old, and there is no one around you who can take care of you, and no one to ask for warmth when you are sick. ”

The old man's answer made Hibiscus ponder for a long time, and he said, "If you are a kind person, there will be people who will lend you a helping hand wherever you go." If you are a selfish person, even if you have a full house of children and grandchildren, no one will really care about your food and clothing. ”
