Chapter Seventy-Eight: I Point in the Direction of the Sun
The autumn cicadas are noisy, the forest is quiet, and the roof of a mud-tiled house under the tree is black and yellow. If there is an autumn rain, the moss bushes will be a beautiful scene.
In the hustle and bustle of the city, such houses have long since disappeared, but in remote mountainous areas they abound.
The room was filled with a thick water mist, and the occasional sound of water came out, which was tempting to the ears of the people.
Yu Fan was naked, his eyelids blinked, he slowly opened his eyes, woke up from his slumber, raised his neck slightly, and suddenly a touch of pain swam all over his body, and he couldn't help but let out a long hiss.
He raised his eyes and looked around, his teeth clenched, and it happened that a touch of morning sun came through the window from the east window, shooting into his eyes, and subconsciously raised his hand to cover the sun.
The pain intensified, and his expression was somewhat hideous.
"What's going on?" Yu Fan was puzzled.
A memory unfolded and swept through his heart, he remembered taking the car home with his father-in-law, and he also remembered his father-in-law's inexplicable palm, and he thought he would never wake up again.
But what's going on now?
The strange fragrance swells in the room, inhales it into the lungs, and suddenly, a subtle warm current flows in the body, and the whole body is comfortable.
Looking down, Yu Fan found himself sitting in a bath bucket, the color of the bath water in the bucket was a little strange, it was a faint cyan, and there were many sawdust-like things floating on it, as well as several common flowers on the mountains north of the village.
Suddenly, Yu Fan felt like a pickle pickled in a jar, with all kinds of condiments.
Yu Fan propped up the side of the bathtub and wanted to stand up, but he found that he was weak, and the slightest movement was a heart-rending pain, which made his head dizzy and almost fainted.
In desperation, Yu Fan had no choice but to sit in the bathtub and no longer move, but he couldn't bear to look around.
The room is very simple, with a wooden window on the east side and a wooden window on the south side, the east window is small and high, and the south window is large but low. Half a meter to the left of the south window is an entrance door, which opens to the south, and on the right is an earthen kang, which runs from north to south, and is covered with bedding. There was also an old-fashioned wooden table by the window, on which were some stationery and other things.
Yes, this is your own house, but why?
Yu Fan saw a few jade bottles on the table, remembered Zhongli Xian'er's words, endured the pain, reached out enough, but found that it was far away from him, and felt helpless.
"Father-in-law, are you there?" Yu Fan was puzzled, and simply shouted at the top of his voice.
"Click...... Click......"
After a while, someone came up to the door, seemingly holding something, and kept knocking on the ground.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Granny Qiu walked in on crutches, her body still trembling slightly, her expression was flat, and she didn't know whether she was happy or angry.
"Are you awake?" said Granny Qiu, obviously nonsense.
Yu Fan hurriedly put his hands in front of his chest, but with this move, he couldn't help but let out a painful **, with an embarrassed expression: "Granny Qiu, why are you here?
"Who in the village didn't watch you grow up naked, what are you doing with it?" Granny Qiu's voice was hoarse, and she said with a slight annoyance, and the wrinkles on her face were squeezed together, making her look even older.
Yu Fan smiled unnaturally, not knowing how to answer for a while.
"Sheng'er is not in the village at the moment, and the dog leftovers will be taken care of by my old wife. Granny Qiu said to herself, sat down on the kang, and put the cane aside.
"Granny Qiu, the kid is incompetent, how can I work hard for you! It's just that the kid is incapacitated now, so please ask the mother-in-law to hand the bottle on the table to the kid, so that the kid can recover as soon as possible and serve you!"
Seeing Granny Qiu walking, the jade bottle flew up and fell into Granny Qiu's hands. She uncorked the bottle, sniffed lightly, and nodded: "Baishi, Xianhecao, Coptis chinensis...... These are common in the world. ”
He said the names of dozens of herbs in one breath, relieved his breath, and continued: "It's just that the impatiens fern, black bamboo incense, and southern borer want to find it, I'm afraid it will take some effort." This kind of elixir is indeed not a worldly thing, I am afraid that my Lingquan Tang will be effective for five times, not bad, not bad!"
Yu Fan heard Granny Qiu praise this medicine, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, such a good medicine will definitely be able to restore himself to the same as before.
Hearing the end, Yu Fan couldn't help but be surprised, remembering what Zhongli Xian'er said in his letter, this medicine is extremely effective, even if he is seriously injured and dying, it can save his life.
If this medicine is spread in the world, I don't know how high the price will be. As a result, when it came to Granny Qiu's mouth, she only had a four-word evaluation of 'not bad', and even her 'Lingquan Soup' was successful for five times, and her tone was so big that I am afraid that no one could beat it.
Granny Qiu seemed to know how to read minds, frowned and said: "Dog leftovers, don't be dissatisfied, with Sheng'er's skill, under one blow, if it weren't for the old woman who raised it with this spiritual spring soup, you would have died a long time ago!"
"Uh...... The kid has no disrespect, but he is too lonely and unheard, please don't blame your mother-in-law!" Yu Fan was stunned for a moment, and then said respectfully, after all, the fear left by childhood is difficult to change.
Thinking of something, he said: "Mother-in-law, I don't know why my father-in-law beat me, isn't the kid doing something wrong?"
Granny Qiu shook her head and said, "There is no fault, on the contrary, it is very popular." I didn't expect the old woman to have a time to go, ashamed and ashamed!"
"What does this mean?" After listening, Yu Fan was even more confused, obviously yes, why did his father-in-law hurt him, look at this posture, only one line away, he should return to the underworld.
"The mortal body, awakening on its own, has never been heard of throughout the ages. Dog leftovers, I have a long face for grandpa!" At this moment, a white-haired old man entered through the door, smiling and amiable, followed by a snow-white cub.
"Village chief grandfather" Yu Fan was overjoyed in his words.
The old man is tall and thin, with a clean short haircut, white eyebrows, and he walks in good spirits.
"Oh, the dog leftover is suffering" The old man patted his thigh, looking very heartbroken, and suddenly said: "Well, in this way, when you get through this time, grandpa, I will give you a good thing." ”
"A little flesh and skin injury, why is your face bitter?" Granny Qiu looked displeased and her tone was majestic.
The old man glanced at Yu Fan, hurriedly walked to Granny Qiu's side, and said respectfully: "The old ancestor has written down the words!"
He turned around again, put his fist to his mouth, cleared his throat, and said: "Yu Fan, now you are also a member of my Daomen, I don't know which realm you have cultivated?" However, these are not important, I have "Hug Puzi", "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed" and "Taiqing Sutra" here...... Of the many Taoist classics, which one do you choose?"
"???" Yu Fan was full of question marks, if he wasn't familiar with the old man's behavior, he was afraid that he would think that he was a wandering Taoist priest, specializing in deceiving ignorant children. Squeezed out a smile and said, "Grandpa, the child has already practiced the Fa, and has already cultivated to the foundation building period, so there is no need to choose another classic." ”
The old man frowned and said, "Where did you get the Random Mind Method, and you dare to compare it with my Taoist classics?" Yes, don't you think that grandpa lied to you." With a flip of his palm, a simple book appeared in the old man's hand, and said: "This "Shenlong Note" is the secret of our clan, cultivated to the peak, incarnated in the form of a dragon, galloping the world, immortal and immortal!"
Hearing this, Yu Fan was a little moved, but his physique was special, so he had to say helplessly: "Grandpa, the child really has exercises." ”
The old man looked at Yu Fan suspiciously, suddenly picked up his arm, pinched the pulse with his hand, and closed his eyes tightly. After a while, he muttered: "Full but not overflowing, powerful but not emitting, the majesty of the aura is more than twice that of ordinary people." Wait, this is?"
Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Granny Qiu, his eyes could not hide his shock.
"See?" Granny Qiu obviously knew it for a long time.
"Really?" the old man was still a little incredulous.
Granny Qiu nodded, seeing this, the old man suddenly cried with joy, and sighed to the sky: "The sky treats my Yu family well, and it will be ruined after returning to silence." Hahaha, the return of the Yu family is still to be expected!"
"Ancestor, please take care of Fan'er here, I'm going to gather the villagers, it's been so many years, it's time for them to know the truth. After speaking, his figure flickered and disappeared.
"I'm old, I'm still so frizzy, hey" Granny Qiu sighed, stood up, and said to Yu Fan: "Exercise by yourself for three hours, and when the Lingquan soup is fully absorbed, you can resume your actions." ”
The sound fell, and he disappeared.
Only Yu Fan and the cubs on the kang were left, looking at each other. He couldn't help but think of that dream, could it be that everything he saw in the dream was real, so where did the children who left the village go, and why did they not return after so long.
......
"Let's go when you're rested. Su Baiyu stood up and patted the grit behind him.
Hearing this, the three of them stood up, packed their belongings, carried the sun on their backs, and headed east.
Su Baiyu didn't take a step, clasped his hands to his chest, and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Hmm, didn't you say you set off?" Li Ling's eyes were full of puzzlement.
Su Baiyu had a shallow smile on his face, pointed his right hand backwards, and said, "Here!" Then, holding his head in both hands, he learned the appearance of Monkey King in "Journey to the West", and went to the sun, humming in his mouth: "You ask me where I am going, I point in the direction of the sun......"
It's very chic.
