Chapter 154: The Big Saw

The mountain looked very close, but it took a long time to really walk, Lao Yaozi and Xu Xiaobai trekked hard in the snow for nearly an hour, and then they could walk under the mountain and look up at the top of the mountain. Pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info Xu Xiaobai does not climb much on weekdays, but he has also been to Mount Tai, Yellow Mountain and other scenic spots, seeing that the mountain in front of him is just a hill, at most 200 meters high, the heart has half an hour when you can go up steadily.

Lao Yaozi was very cautious, took off the cotton clothes outside, only wore the clothes inside, tied the sleeves of the cotton clothes around his waist, wrapped cotton boots with cloth to prevent slipping, and rubbed his palms again, and then slowly swallowed and stopped going up step by step.

Seeing his serious posture, Xu Xiaobai was suspicious in his heart and asked, "It's just a small hill, use it so carefully?" ”

As he walked, Lao Yaozi said slowly: "The terrain here is high, and it is so difficult to walk on a flat road, and it is even more difficult to climb the mountain." Don't underestimate the 200-meter-high mountain, it takes a lot of effort to climb it. After saying this, he didn't speak much anymore, but climbed the mountain in silence, as if he was worried that speaking would also consume his physical strength.

Xu Xiaobai didn't believe it, relying on his own skills, he unfolded his body and walked up as if he was climbing the clouds. After only a short period of effort, he had already left the old medicine far behind, the snow on the mountain was very slippery, and it was very difficult to climb in some places, but since Xu Xiaobai had mastered the method of using Tai Chi internal strength to generate suction on the soles of his feet, this little difficulty could not stop him at all.

But not long after I went up, I suddenly felt a dizziness in my head, and I involuntarily breathed heavily. He was familiar with the feeling he had felt when he first arrived in Lijiang.

Altitude sickness!

Xu Xiaobai wondered, his heart said that his current internal strength was so profound, and he would still be affected by altitude sickness. He didn't know that with his huge lung capacity, if it weren't for his profound internal strength, a person like him would have serious hypotension and even cerebral edema as early as the moment he walked into the old forest.

The discomfort became more and more intense, Xu Xiaobai didn't dare to move anymore, and hurriedly sat down to breathe, about half an hour, and finally felt that the situation was better. At this time, Lao Yaozi had already caught up, and when he saw Xu Xiaobai, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground resting, he panted and laughed at him: "What's the matter?" Do you feel the power of this mountain? In the old forest, if you don't listen to me, you are destined to take one pit at a time. ”

At this moment, Xu Xiaobai completed his work, stood up, ignored the ridicule of the old medicine, and suddenly roared at the open space. This howling sound is vigorous and majestic, and it is indescribably majestic. Lao Yaozi frowned, and was about to speak, but Xu Xiaobai's whistle was too loud, and his deep voice was completely drowned out in this long whistle. Xu Xiaobai whistled for a full bag of cigarettes, then stopped, turned to Lao Yaozi and said, "This mountain is nothing more than that, I'm fine, now it's easy for me to climb this mountain." ”

Lao Yaozi glared at him and said: "You are young, how do you know how to brag, don't be reckless, in case it really causes serious altitude sickness, your little life can be explained here." ”

Xu Xiaobai smiled, suddenly opened his legs, and ran straight towards the mountain. His acceleration, just like a dragon shaking its head and tail, instantly slid out dozens of meters on the snow and went far up the mountain.

Lao Yaozi looked at Xu Xiaobai's figure that had long disappeared, and he was very depressed. Xindao originally thought that he had brought a hairy boy into the mountain, this kid must be at a loss everywhere, and he had to obey his own arrangement, but he didn't expect that Xu Xiaobai couldn't deal with common sense at all, he was smart, full of physical strength, and even had some indescribable skills on his body. Not to mention anything else, Lao Yaozi has lived for so many years, but he has never seen anyone who can easily destroy a wild wolf alone with his bare hands, and when he finally used a knife to cut the wild wolf, Lao Yaozi obviously witnessed a flash of fire, and the wolf's body was also burned black, but there was nothing similar to a flamethrower on the knife at all. Is it magic? Lao Yaozi had long been suspicious of the knife, but he didn't say it.

He shook his head, and said in his heart that he was just taking people's money, so why should he listen to other people's affairs. If Xu Xiaobai really wanted to say it, he would naturally tell him that he knew. However, he was still depressed, he originally thought that he could speak and call the shots, but now he didn't really move this kid, and he didn't seem to help this kid much, so if he went on like this, the 500,000 yuan would not be so easy.

Lao Yaozi thought about his own thoughts and walked up. After an hour, he finally climbed slowly to the top of the mountain, which was an open hill, and a large courtyard was fenced into it. There are rows of low bungalows built in the courtyard, and stacked logs are piled up everywhere in the open space, which is what Lao Yaozi called a forest farm.

At this time, Xu Xiaobai was standing at the door of the fence courtyard, and a simple guard box was set up at the door, and the people inside were arguing with Xu Xiaobai about something. Lao Yaozi walked over and asked Xu Xiaobai: "What are you doing, why don't you go in?" ”

When Xu Xiaobai heard him coming, he turned back to the man in the sentry box: "Aren't you looking for him, he's here." ”

Xu Xiaobai stepped aside and revealed the appearance of the person in the room. When the man saw Lao Yaozi, he was surprised and said, "Old brother, it's really you!" What have you been doing all these years, you want to die brother! ”

Lao Yaozi looked at the man carefully, he hadn't been in the mountain for many years, he was not very familiar with the situation here, but after looking at it for a while, he still vaguely found a friend who was familiar in his memory from the man's face, and said with great joy: "Brother Big Saw, it's you!" ”

The man he called the Great Saw got up and hugged the old man. The habit here in the Northeast is to often use a certain specialty of a person to give that person a nickname. For example, Lao Yaozi, because he is good at collecting medicines and identifying medicinal materials, is called Lao Yaozi by the people in the village, and this nickname is so famous that gradually people forget what his real name is. It's the same with this big saw, no one cares about what his real name is, just because he cut wood and makes a good saw, so he got such a nickname.

When Da Saw stood up, Lao Yaozi noticed that there was something obviously abnormal in his legs and feet, as if one foot was lame. After hugging, Lao Yaozi asked him, "What's wrong with your leg?" ”

The big saw sighed for a while, and sighed: "I broke my leg by wood a few years ago, and I haven't been good since then." "It turns out that logging is a very dangerous profession, and it is very prone to accidents, the most common being being hit by wood. This big saw a few years ago when the wood, was accidentally smashed by the fallen wood to break the leg, the mountain is too far away from the city hospital, to the hospital when the broken bone has been set, plus the cold at that time, the cold weather worsened his injury, not conducive to his recovery, and finally fell a lame leg, now when the weather is cold, his broken bone will still be faint pain. It was precisely because of the problem in his leg that the lumberjack factory felt that he was not suitable for logging anymore, so he was transferred to work as a janitor.

Lao Yaozi was sad when he heard that his good brother had suffered such a big disaster, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, and comforted himself: "It's better to guard the door, it's better than going to the old forest to make a saw, and it's light." How can you live not live? ”

The big saw nodded, and the two said goodbye to each other, it turned out that in the early years, the old medicine went up the mountain to collect medicine, and every time he stopped in the forest farm, the workers here were familiar with him. Especially this big saw has the most temper with him, and the two are friends who have nothing to say.

Xu Xiaobai stood quietly on the side, listening to the two of them talk about the wonderful past events, without interjecting at all. It wasn't until the big saw realized that the three of them had been standing for too long that he said to Xu Xiaobai: "Little brother, I'm sorry just now, I thought you were talking big about me, offended, offended." ”

Lao Yaozi heard this, and before he came, the two of them had a quarrel and hurriedly asked what was going on. It turned out that Xu Xiaobai came up the mountain one step ahead of the old Yaozi, and when he walked to the gate of the forest farm, he was stopped by the big saw, and he saw that Xu Xiaobai was a fresh face and spoke with an obvious foreign accent, so he became suspicious and worried that he came to the forest farm to plot misdeeds. Xu Xiaobai hurriedly explained that he was Lao Yaozi's companion, and he went into the mountains to collect medicine with him, saying that Lao Yaozi was behind. Da Sawzi had already heard that Lao Yaozi had gone to the city to work, and he had long since stopped doing the work of a barefoot doctor, of course 10,000 didn't believe it. The two argued at the door. It wasn't until the old medicine came up the mountain that the truth was revealed.

Xu Xiaobai was not a cautious person, but when he saw that the contradiction had been resolved, he didn't say anything anymore. On the contrary, he was very embarrassed to make a big saw, he was a straightforward Northeast man, he was afraid that Xu Xiaobai would have a mustard in his heart, so he hurriedly said to him: "Little brother, don't say anything, I'll invite you to drink at night." ”

The old medicine man laughed: "This kid drinks an average amount of alcohol, don't make him dizzy." He knew that the big saw had a lot of wine, so he reminded Xu Xiaobai.

The three of them looked at each other and laughed, and the big saw said: "There is no work today, everyone is resting in the house, let's go, I'll take you around." So he took the hand of the old medicine and walked inside, and Xu Xiaobai followed not far behind him.

While Xu Xiaobai was distracted to look at the scenery in the forest farm, the big saw whispered in Lao Yaozi's ear: "What is the origin of this afterlife, my tone is so big." He said that he ran all the way up the mountain, and it took less than half an hour, it was really fake, why didn't I believe it so much. ”

Lao Yaozi replied in a low voice: "Yes, this kid is not an ordinary person, he is very skilled." ”

The big saw knows that the old medicine doesn't talk big, and the old medicine says so, it seems that this child is really not ordinary, and he can't help but think highly of Xu Xiaobai in his heart, and he can go up the mountain in half an hour, and when he comes up, his face is not red and he is not panting, this person is really good.
