Chapter 230

The land of the southwest, the West Sacred Mountain.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

After waiting for a long time, no one responded, and Wu Jue couldn't help but shout in a louder voice.

Because he was guided by Mo Lidao before leaving, Wu Jue took a shortcut all the way, and also rushed to Xishen Mountain on the seventh day after leaving Nanhu Villa.

According to his memories from a few years ago, Wu Jue soon found the simple thatched hut where Mr. Ogata lived when he took him in.

It's just that the thatched hut that was built simply at the beginning is now a decent wooden house, and even the perimeter is surrounded by a fence, like an isolated mountain courtyard.

There were still a few chickens and ducks in the small courtyard, and Wu Jue was seen knocking on the door outside the courtyard, still leisurely pecking at the rice grains scattered in the soil on the ground, without even raising his head, as if he was used to strangers' visits.

Seeing this, Wu Jue was anxious about the poison on Zuo's body, so he pushed open the simple small door made of the not thick trunk with a slight force in his hand, and walked towards the house uninvited.

It wasn't until I entered the house and saw the same furnishings in front of me as I had been a few years ago, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In any case, even if I haven't met Mr. Ogata in person yet, I can be sure that Mr. Ogata must be living here.

But where did Mr. Ogata go?

This behavior shortened the time and saved unnecessary trouble, Wu Jue went on the road alone, so at the moment, Wu Jue didn't know where Mr. Ogata went, and he didn't dare to look around easily. I'm afraid that I won't notice and miss the opportunity to meet Mr. Ogata.

Because, Wu Jue was not sure when Mr. Ogata would return to this hut. I don't know how long Mr. Ogata will stay here......

"Hey...... I don't know what happened to Deng Si'er and the stinky medicine refiner...... The journey to Broken Sword Mountain is much shorter than the journey to this Western Divine Mountain, so it should be almost there......"

Wu Jue found a small chair to sit on, looking at the kettle still on the stove where there was no fire, and while talking to himself about his worries, he went to Broken Sword Mountain to find Deng Si and Mo Lidao, the head of the Qingfeng Dao, while staring at the kettle.

I don't know how long it took, Wu Jue suddenly stood up smartly. Hurriedly looked out of the window.

But it was blocked by a tree in front of the window, and it was not really, but. Wu Jue did hear the movement of someone walking.

So, Wu Jue immediately ran outside the house.

"Huh? Who are you? ”

No, but not Mr. Ogata, but a plainly dressed man. Looks like a woodcutter in the mountains.

Seeing this, Wu Jue immediately bowed slightly. Said:

"This eldest brother, in Xia Wu Jue, is here to visit Mr. Ogata."

"Childe, what are you doing? Where is the use of prostration? ”

The woodcutter saw Wu Jue saluting him, and saw that although Wu Jue looked like a dusty servant, he couldn't hide his luxury, so he couldn't help but quickly put the bundle of firewood on his back on the ground, waved his hand to Wu Jue and said:

"Mr. Ogata? …… This is the first time I've heard of this name. You're talking about the medicine old man, right? ”

Wu Jue couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and asked rhetorically:

"Old man Yao?"

When the woodcutter saw Wu Jue's blank look, he immediately explained:

"Childe doesn't know? The old man didn't know that he came to our Xishen Mountain a few years ago. It turned out that I only knew that he was a strange-looking old man, but later I saw that he always went into the mountains to collect medicine. He often treats the villagers under the mountain, and does not charge money for medical treatment, and after a long time, the people in the neighborhood are familiar with each other, so they all call him 'old man of medicine'. ”

Wu Jue nodded and said:

"I see, dare to ask this big brother, do you know where Mr. Ogata is now?"

When the woodcutter heard this, he thought for a moment and said:

"It turns out that the 'old man of medicine' is called Mr. Ogata, and he looks handsome and not like ordinary people, so he must know the old man of medicine, right? It's really unfortunate that the old man went to the mountain to collect medicine a few days ago, and he came back late. Didn't I bring some firewood and send some old man to give medicine. ”

Wu Jue nodded and asked:

"Big brother, may I ask Mr. Ogata how long it will take to come back after going into the mountains to collect medicine? Can you see him today? ”

Seeing Wu Jue's appearance, the woodcutter seemed to be a little anxious, so he said:

"Childe, this is in a hurry, right? But don't worry, the old man will generally go into the mountain for three or four days, and at most he will come back the day after tomorrow, maybe he will be able to see him today. I'll go into the mountains to dig some mountain goods later, and if I meet the old man with medicine, I'll help you tell him. ”

Wu Jue hurriedly thanked him when he heard this:

"In that case, thank you to this big brother. If the woodcutter meets Mr. Ogata and tells him, I'll just wait here. ”

The woodcutter nodded, then bent down to pick up the firewood on the ground and put it under a grass shed, and then shouted at Wu Jue while carrying the axe and walking towards the door of the small courtyard:

"Childe, you live here first, don't break the old man's things......"

"Thank you, big woodcutter." Seeing this, Wu Jue also waved at the warm-hearted woodcutter brother and thanked him.

"It seems that we still have to wait......"

Wu Jue sighed, remembering that today was the seventh day of departure, although the waiting days were two days at most, but Mr. Ogata was now old, no matter how tough his body was, it was impossible for him to rush as fast as Wu Jue.

What's more, the shortcuts that Mo Lidao had guided him to come to Xishen Mountain were almost all very uneven and rugged paths, so how could Mr. Ogata ride through them?

Therefore, the road back to Nanhu Villa can only be the official road that is flatter but far away......

Even Wu Jue himself, when he came from Jiangbei, which was closer, and went to Xishen Mountain to play, it took almost half a month......

"A month...... Time is a little tight......" Wu Jue sighed, turned around and walked towards the house.

After sitting in the house for a long time, thinking about things, I don't know how long it took, Wu Jue felt a little sleepy and a little hungry.

Wu Jue hurried along the way, and there were not too many pauses along the way, except for the necessary supplies and rest. At this time, while breathing a sigh of relief, there was a deep sense of tiredness between the limbs.

Anyway, it's useless to be anxious at the moment, anyway, I should be glad that I didn't run in vain when I can always see Mr. Ogata, Wu Jue found some water in the house, and took some firewood left by the woodcutter outside the door into the house, and began to boil water.

Burning and burning, Wu Jue began to feel sleepy involuntarily in boredom, the chick nodded and stared at the unboiled kettle like pecking rice, and held on for a while, but after all, he couldn't resist the surging tiredness, tilted his head against the back of the chair behind him, and finally fell asleep.

Wu Jue's sleep was very heavy, so heavy that he didn't even react when the kettle two steps away boiled.

At this time, suddenly a strange-looking old man came into the house, and saw that there was a kettle on the stove that was about to be boiled dry, and hurriedly removed the bamboo basket behind him, and lifted the kettle down, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the uninvited guest.

When he got closer, he looked a little familiar, and couldn't help patting this person's face and saying:

"Hey, boy, wake up!" (To be continued.) )
