Chapter 24: The Old Man

"Haven't eaten yet, have you?" The old man looked at Tao Ziyi, who was still in shock, and asked with a kind smile;

Tao Ziyi realized that she was hungry, but she was also strange, she didn't seem to have this hunger for a long time, and nodded a little embarrassedly: "Hmm! ”

"Wait, I still have a few potatoes dug up in the mountains, I guess you don't pick your mouth!" The old man turned around and went to the back room, took out a small cool yam and handed it to Tao Ziyi.

Tao Ziyi looked at the potato, thanked her, took it, put it in her mouth and took a bite, and an inexplicable excitement suddenly rose in her heart, this kind of taste, she didn't seem to have tasted it for a long time, but a kind of thought in her memory was hooked, especially Tao Lao's figure, which became clearer and clearer.

Seeing that her food was quite delicious, the old man's heart was put down, and he said with a smile: "After you finish eating for a while, you will sleep in the back room, and leave again tomorrow morning at dawn, by the way, little girl, where is your home?" ”

Tao Ziyi listened to the old man's question, lowered her head and thought about it: "My home is in Qingxu Mountain!" ”

This is the first place name that Tao Ziyi thought of, after all, she is not familiar with this continent, and she only has Qingxu Mountain in her memory, she still remembers.

The old man thought for a while, frowned and said, "This place, the old man has never heard of it, is it far from here?" ”

Tao Ziyi had already eaten a taro at this time, and with a red face, she had already grabbed the second one on the table: "Where is this, old man!" ”

"Here? This place is called Qingshan Ling, which belongs to the northeast of Qinghuanzhou and is under the management of Lausanne! ”

Tao Ziyi thought about it, but she was still very unfamiliar, she only remembered that her Tao family was in Qingxu Mountain, what was the specific continent and what country, but she didn't know. Seeing that she was silent, the old man thought that the little girl was shy and defensive, so he didn't ask, and saw Tao Ziyi finish eating the taro in her hand, okay, you live in that room.

Then he stretched and turned back to a hut in the west, leaving Tao Ziyi alone behind the lonely lamp, swaying slightly.

Seeing that the old man returned to the house, there was no movement after a while, Tao Ziyi got up and returned to the wooden house opposite the old man lightly.

Push open the wooden door, there is not much inside, only a wooden bed, with a simple coarse cloth bedding on it, Tao Ziyi doesn't know if this old man is temporarily prepared for himself, or there is already such a room, in order to entertain guests, walked a long day, although not tired, but can have a place to stay, Tao Ziyi's heart is a little more stable.

Fell on the bed, but there was no sleepiness at all, thinking about how to find Qingxu Mountain, except for knowing the name of Qingxu Mountain, but I didn't know anything, and I didn't have any self-defense, along the way, I met tigers, leopards, wolves, and insects, and I didn't have a sense of security at all.

The top priority is to figure out which direction Qingxu Mountain is, otherwise I will run around in confusion, and I am afraid that I will have to go around in a big circle.

His heart was at ease, and his memory was opened, and suddenly he thought that when the Qingxu Sect was destroyed by the Demon Clan, when he listened to the monks in the sect, he seemed to have said that it seemed to be the border between the human race and the demon race, and the location was in the southwest, as long as the direction was good, it should be about the same! Thinking of this, Tao Ziyi paid attention and prepared to look in the southwest direction.

After a night without words, Tao Ziyi got up early the next morning, and the old man had already made breakfast, although it was a little plain, but there were also bird eggs and yams that I didn't know where to go, and I also got two bowls of wild vegetable soup.

When he was about to send Tao Ziyi away, the old man did not forget to give Tao Ziyi a small bag, which contained a few potatoes, and told Tao Ziyi to eat on the way. Tao Ziyi was deeply moved, she didn't know each other so much, but the old man treated her like this, and Tao Ziyi also remembered her gratitude and wanted to repay her. And I will keep this place firmly in mind, and I will have the opportunity to find it again in the future.

The old man politely sent Tao Ziyi to a big road, and then stopped and said: "Little girl, I know you and me, I see that your face is extraordinary, maybe you are a person who cultivates immortals, I will entrust you with something!" ”

After receiving the great favor of others, Tao Ziyi naturally did not have to shirk, but she couldn't help but smile a little bitterly in her heart, in her current situation, whether the things entrusted by others could be done, she was not sure, but it was not good to chill the old man's heart, and said very seriously: "Grandpa, as long as I have the ability, I will definitely serve!" ”

"I have a letter here, along this continent to the west, there is a city, called the city of the forest, because there are many mountains and forests on all sides, so it is named, it is said that there is a mountain called Yunshan, there are immortals in it, twenty years ago, my son heard some rumors, obsessed with the cultivation of immortals, he went to Yunshan to find immortals, hoping to meet the opportunity, now twenty years, there is no news, if the little girl meets, help me give this letter to him, I think our father and son have no chance to meet in this life, and please help the little girl!" said that he had an old look, and he looked a little more depressed;

Tao Ziyi was already kind-hearted, so naturally she couldn't see the old man like this, so she hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, good!" As he spoke, he took the letter, put it away very carefully, and then asked, "But I don't know what your son's name is, old man?" ”

The old man sighed and said, "His name is Lin Qingsong!" ”

Tao Ziyi nodded, muttered a few times in her mouth, confirmed that she had memorized it, and said to the old man: "I wrote it down, grandpa, thank you, if there is still a chance, I will definitely come to see you again, repay your kindness, find your son's matter, I will do my best!" ”

The old man smiled with relief and nodded: "Girl, you have a good heart, you will definitely have a good future!" Let's go! ”

Tao Ziyi looked at the old man's old face with some reluctance, and always thought of it with his grandfather, and finally gritted his teeth and walked along the avenue to the west. After walking a long way, when she looked back, the old man was still looking at her on the side of the road, she waved her hand and said, "Grandpa, go back, the road is dusty, watch out for your body!" ”

The old man opened his mouth and seemed to say something, but Tao Ziyi didn't hear it, so he had to turn his head ruthlessly and continue on his way. She has her way to go, and this old man must return to dust, and perhaps in this life, there will be no day to see each other again.

Keep the old man's face in mind, because of the hurry, Tao Ziyi didn't remember to tattoo the old man's name, but remembered that here and now, there was such an old man who helped her and entrusted her with an unfulfilled wish.

The old man sent her out of the roadside, from the forest city, there are also a hundred miles away, fortunately, Tao Ziyi because of her physique, she does not feel tired, and it is not very difficult to walk. Because it is an avenue, there are occasionally pedestrians and vehicles passing by.

By the time we arrived in Forest City, it was already dark, and the sun didn't know where it had gone. When I entered the city, I still had about 100 copper coins on my body, so I casually found an inconspicuous small shop and settled down. The shopkeeper saw that it was a little girl, and he also took care of it very much, and told the guy to arrange a quieter house for Tao Ziyi.
