At the foot of Wufeng Mountain, where a mountain stream flows, there is a remote ancient village in the mountains, and dozens of families live in a scattered manner according to the mountain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

To the southeast of the village was a three-room thatched house with two elderly couples.

In the early morning of this day, the mountain fog had not yet dissipated, and the mountain people had just gotten up, and the smoke had just risen from the roofs of several houses.

The thick branches broke in half under the firewood knife, and beside him, a small pile of freshly grown firewood was piled up, exuding the fragrance of new barberry wood.

There was a sound of pots and pans in the kitchen of the hut, and an old woman in a shabby patch was carrying two magnetic bowls of gruel from the inside to the outside, and at a glance she saw the old man squatting under the eaves.

"Old man, the meal is ready, you are about to eat and go up the mountain to chop wood, if you are late, you will not be able to enter the city in the afternoon!" The old woman urged.

The old man sighed and was about to stand up.

At this time, a sword light flashed in the air, and a young Taoist in a blue robe, the Imperial Sword, came and happened to be standing in the courtyard of this family, the old man was slightly surprised, and he didn't know what to call him, this is not far from Wufeng Mountain, and you can often see the Taoist cyclamen flying with the imperial sword, so it is not surprising.

The young Taoist saluted the old man, smiled slightly, and said, "Uncle Lin, I haven't seen you for many days, why don't you know you!" ”

The old man, who was still standing there with a blank expression, saw the face of the Taoist leader clearly, the wrinkles on his face suddenly relaxed, and he also smiled: "Oh, who did I think it was?" It turned out to be Sun Xian's house, come, come, please sit in the house quickly," he walked over and shouted to the inner room: "Wife, come quickly, see who is coming?" ”

The old woman also followed the sound and came out, and when she saw the chief, she was busy inviting him into the house.

It turns out that this young Taoist surnamed Sun, a single name of a Xu character, is the eldest disciple of Wufeng Mountain Changtianfeng Xuanying Dao Chang, a few years ago, when the sword went out, unfortunately happened to meet this Lin Lao Bo went up the mountain to chop wood because he was about to fall under the valley, so, he volleyed a spell, saved Lin Lao Bo, and carried him home, and gave him the Wufeng Mountain Da Cheng Dan to treat his injuries, under the miraculous effect of the Shen Dan, in a few days, Lin Lao Bo can get out of bed and walk around.

Since then, Daoist Sun Xu has also come to see the two of them from time to time, and has taken care of them from time to time, so the two members of Uncle Lin's family are grateful to Daoist Sun Xu.

Seeing the benefactor coming today, the old couple was not happy, and they greeted him politely, and wanted to treat him well today.

Sun Xu smiled and thanked them one by one, but still stood under the eaves, and said: "I came here today because of a reluctant request, and I hope that the two old people will not refuse." ”

The old woman said: "What kind words are you saying, Sun Xianjia, if you have anything to do, as long as we can do it, it is to fight this old bone, and we will not disappoint your life-saving grace!" ”

Daoist Sun Xu shook his head and said, "It's a trivial matter, why worry about it, you must not mention it again." ”

The old couple smiled at each other and looked at each other, and at this time they had no choice but to follow this Taoist leader.

Sun Xu then said: "Oh, by the way, last night the master rushed back to Wufeng Mountain in the starry night, saying that he picked up an abandoned baby on the way back, and I don't know who his parents' surnames were, so I asked me to go down the mountain first to find a family to foster him, and when the child grows up in the future, let him worship under the Wufeng Gate and accept him as a disciple, so I thought of Uncle Lin and your family, please take care of him and be his reborn parents, I am very grateful." ”

After speaking, he took out a baby's swaddling clothes from the wide road robe, and Lin Laohan and his wife were overjoyed when they saw the baby looking at them with a pair of black and white eyes, and his small mouth was still moving.

It turns out that Lin Laohan's family has not been full of incense, and the only only son also died at an early age, looking at other couples with groups of children, laughing and laughing, the old couple can't help but be a little lonely, don't admit it, one big morning, a white and chubby boy fell from the sky, can you not make the old couple happy?

Lin Laohan almost shed old tears, and said in a loud voice: "I can't help it, I can't help it, you have to torture us, your great kindness, we can't repay it in this life!" Turning his head, he saw that the old woman was still standing there looking at the baby, and immediately said, "What are you still doing, why don't you take the child soon!" ”

The old woman came back to her senses, and hurriedly hugged the baby in Sun Xu Daochang's arms, her face was full of pity and pity, and when she lowered her head to look at the baby carefully, she heard her whispering: "Frightened, look, this child is still smiling at me?" ”

The two of them saw that the baby was pursing his mouth, struggling from side to side, and Zhang Laohan joked to her: "You must be overjoyed, you are dizzy when you see everything, how can such a young child know how to smile at you?" Will he know you? ”

The three of them couldn't help but smile, they knew that because of the arrival of this child, it would add countless laughter to this family's family in the future.

Daoist Sun Xu looked at the happy appearance of the old couple, and it seemed that the trip had been completed, so he saluted and said, "Two old men, since the matter has been completed, I will go back to the mountain as soon as possible to report to the master, and I will leave first." ”

Uncle Lin and his wife couldn't keep it again and again, so they had to let him go back to Wufeng Mountain first.

Sent away Sun Xu Daochang, the old woman even forgot to urge the old man to go up the mountain and into the city, the old couple came to have a son, they were overjoyed, and they played with the child all day, left and right, and they were reluctant to let go.

The old man was busy arranging everything for the child, using ready-made wood to make a small bed that the child could sit on and lie on, and there was a wooden fence around the bed.

The old woman did not have milk herself, so she took the child to the house of a young couple in the village to ask for some milk, the mountain people were isolated from the world, the folk customs were simple, and they were naturally willing to help this little favor, and the villagers did not carefully inquire about the origin of the child, but they only thought that they had picked up an abandoned baby, and they were happy for his old couple.

That night, both of them were sleepy, sitting around the bed, watching the child fall asleep by himself.

Uncle Lin suddenly said to the old woman: "Hey, I'm really busy today, and I haven't had time to ask Sun Xian's family about this child's name!" ”

The old woman blamed him and said: "Since it was picked up by the master of the Sun Xian family halfway, of course he will not know the name, looking at the silk and satin on this child's body, and the pattern embroidered on the outside that I can't tell what it is, it should be a rich and noble family, and after suffering hardship, I had to abandon him." ”

Lin Laohan pondered for a long time before he said: "Since he was lost by a big family, then he is also a child with a hard life, we have to treat him well and treat him as if he were our own!" ”

The old woman pushed the old man, her face pretended to be angry, and said, "I still need you to say this, I naturally love him more than my own own!" ”

Lin Laohan said with a smile: "That's good, that's good!" ”

In this way, the two muttered and whispered for half a night in bed.

The next morning, Lin Laohan made a special trip to the neighboring village, and asked a private old gentleman for the child's name, the old gentleman listened to the general situation, thought for a while, and said: "The child may be separated from a large family, just give him a 'Yi' word, the 'Yi' of 'scattered Yi', call him 'Xiao Yi' to make people feel more cordial!" ”

Lin Laohan casually called softly: "Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, this name is nice and easy to remember, so let's call him that from now on!" ”
