Chapter 5: The Mysterious Old Man
"Auntie! No! ā
"Daddy! Auntie! Don't leave the tide alone! Chaoer ...... Can't leave Daddy and Auntie. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Qing Haichao couldn't stop calling, but he saw Qing Jian and Xi Yingying holding hands, looking back at him and smiling slightly. Then he turned around again and slowly walked into a white world with a silver and white blindness......
On the wooden bed, Qing Haichao was sweating profusely on his forehead. He muttered to himself, his trembling hand suddenly clenched the quilt on the bed, his tone was hurried, and he shouted in a choked voice. It turned into a warm current, flowing in the heart of the old man standing quietly beside the bed.
"Auntie!"
Qing Haichao suddenly screamed, suddenly woke up, and sat up.
He gasped for breath and slowly came back to his senses, but he didn't realize it. It turns out that all this is just a ridiculous dream.
He was glad it was a dream, even though it scared him a lot.
The situation of his parents in the dream can't help but make his heart hang on the safety of his parents at this moment.
Qing Haichao exhaled, shook his head slowly, and began to look around.
It was a very simple thatched hut with only a bed, a table and two people.
On the table was a hat and a steaming bowl. The kind old man beside the bed was gently brushing his beard and looking at him thoughtfully.
"What is this place?" Qing Haichao looked around, and finally couldn't help but focus on the old man beside the bed.
The old man was dressed in a shabby blue robe, and his hair was gray. The thin appearance seems to be old and weak, but it invisibly gives people an unfathomable sense of profundity.
"Kid, you're finally awake!" The old man smiled faintly and said, "This place is Kunlun Mountain. By the way, why is you a child not at home, and you came to this uninhabited West Sea, and why did you become like that? ā
Qing Haichao glanced at the hat on the table, and suddenly remembered that the last time he saw before he fainted, what he saw was an old man wearing a hat.
Could it be that the person in front of you is ......
"Old uncle! Did you save me? Qing Haichao looked at the old man in front of him suspiciously, full of gratitude.
"Yes!"
Qing Haichao was overjoyed when he heard this, hurriedly got up, knelt on the bed, and kowtowed: "Thank you Uncle for saving your life!" ā
Seeing this, the old man said, "Get up!" āć Hurriedly helped Qing Haichao up and let him lie flat on the bed, and then said: "You are weak, drink this bowl of medicine first!" ā
As he spoke, the old man picked up the steaming medicine bowl on the table and handed it to Qing Haichao.
"Old uncle! This medicine ...... Why is it so bitter? Qing Haichao took the medicine bowl and took a few sips, revealing a painful expression.
"Drink! Bitterness is bitterness, and good medicine is bitter. The old man saw that Qing Haichao's face was embarrassed, and he couldn't help but say seriously.
"Thank you, old uncle! The old uncle is such a kind and good man. ā
Qing Haichao slowly drank the medicine in the bowl, and felt very warm in his heart, the feeling that this old uncle gave him at this moment was very similar to the scene when his grandfather took care of him when he was a child.
He couldn't help but think of the days when his grandfather cared for him and loved him and played happily with him. It's a pity that when he was five years old, his grandfather went out for a leisurely trip, and he didn't know what happened, and he never came back.
At that time, when Qing Jian learned about this, he was so grief-stricken that he almost fainted. He didn't believe that something had happened to his tall and majestic father, and he only thought that he had encountered some difficulties or was locked up by vicious people.
For this reason, Qing Jian once mobilized all the members of Qingtian City to search for a whole year. They traveled all over the world, hills and mountains. Even after traveling thousands of miles to an inaccessible overseas exodus, he still found nothing.
That is, when I went to sea to find someone, I cherished Yingying on Beihai Xiandao and took a fancy to a flower tree. For the sake of his beloved, Qing Jian did not hesitate to take out the heirloom he carried with him, made a gourd, and exchanged it with an immortal.
Qing Jian's deep affection for cherishing Yingying moved the whole city of Qingtian City.
However, the world is always unpredictable, and fate is the most tricky.
Just as Qing Jian was disappointed and led the crowd back to Optimus City, Xi Yingying suddenly fell ill and was bedridden, and the pain was unbearable.
Qing Jian was so desperate that he had to give up the search without clues and with little hope, and concentrate on curing his wife's strange illness.
Grandpa's mysterious disappearance, Qing Haichao knows. But when Qing Jian led the crowd out to look for him, he didn't take him with him. So he didn't know about the exchange of treasures for trees.
Qing Haichao looked at the old man in front of him gratefully, and his childhood memories were turned over again. The old man also looked at Qing Haichao with approval in his eyes and nodded slowly.
"Old uncle, what's your name?"
"Hey, hey! The old decay is just a mountain man, and he is too old to remember. Just call me Uncle Fire. The old man stroked his long beard and smiled mysteriously.
"Well, good! Chao'er's name is Qinghai Chao. Thank you Uncle Fire this time. ā
Qing Haichao looked at the old man and always felt that he was very mysterious. Although this is just a feeling, and he can't tell the strangeness of the old man, but the every move of this fire uncle in front of him can make his heart inexplicably surge with blood. This is what he is most puzzled about.
"Well said! Say! The old man nodded modestly, and said, "Chao'er, you haven't told me yet, why did you become like this, and why did you come to the West Sea?" ā
Although Qing Haichao felt that the old man was mysterious, he also understood that he had no malicious intent. At this time, when he heard the old man's inquiry, he couldn't help frowning, and told the old man in detail about the whole story.
Qing Haichao spoke eloquently, but the old man sighed and sighed when he heard it. The old man's face also showed a faint sadness.
"So that's it! Did you see where those two brothers were going? ā
Chao'er chased all the way down, exhausted. I just saw them disappear from afar on the west coast. ā
Qing Haichao said, slowly got up and got out of bed, and ran to the outside of the hut to take a look. But at this time, Jin Wuxi fell, the night was falling, and it was getting late.
"Uncle Fire! How long did I sleep? Qing Haichao suddenly realized something, and his innocent and lovely face showed an anxious and uneasy look.
"It's probably a day and a night."
"What!"
Qing Haichao was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly stomped his feet in annoyance. I thought I had fallen asleep for a day and a night. For such a long time, I'm afraid that the two senior brothers have already gotten the Huoyan Fruit and left Kunlun Mountain.
At this moment, Uncle Fire in the hut suddenly looked at him and laughed. While laughing, he also came to the outside of the hut.
Qing Haichao looked at the old man in front of him in surprise, and his originally anxious heart suddenly became manic. Said hurriedly: "Uncle Huo, what are you laughing at?" Do you know how important it is to me? Do you know ...... way?"
The old man suddenly made a silent gesture and interrupted Qing Haichao's words.
"Shh
Uncle Huo smiled mysteriously and pointed to the large clearing under Kunlun Mountain on the left side of the thatched hut. Whispered, "Look over there!" ā
Qing Haichao looked in the direction pointed by the old man, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"That's ......"
By this time, the sun had set, and the night had begun to darken. In the open space below the mountain in the distance, there is a boxy platform made of huge stones, about three meters high. On the stage was a group of strangely dressed mysterious alien people. Holding a torch, he was half-kneeling on the ground, motionless.
On the left and right sides of the platform stand two stout and straight stone pillars, on which torches are inserted. Under the torches, two men in blue shirts were tied. The dim light of the fire illuminates the totems on the stone wall behind the platform.
The totem was a raging flame, as if the fire was still rising, and it was very realistically drawn.
"Put me down! Put me down! ā
"What are you going to do? The master will not let you go. ā
The two people who were tied hand and foot on the stone pillar couldn't move, but they couldn't stop screaming. And in front of them, there was a large iron pot. The firewood under the iron pot was burning vigorously, and there was a crackling sound of crackling wood.
Qing Haichao listened to the familiar voice from a distance, and vaguely looked at the vague but familiar blue figure. Suddenly, his whole body was shocked, and he exclaimed: "It's those two senior brothers!" ā
