Chapter 231: Human Lives Are a Major Matter
Chapter 231
"Who...... I didn't see the master sleeping. ”
Wu Jue just opened his eyes at first, and he looked a little impatient, as if he blamed the person in front of him for disturbing his good dreams.
When he could see clearly, Wu Jue couldn't help but suddenly jump up from the chair, stood aside and looked at the face in front of him with wide eyes that was no different from the one in his memory, and pointed to the old man in front of him in surprise and said:
"Are you...... Mr. Ogata? ”
The old man tilted his head slightly when he heard this, and he looked a little confused about the name 'Ogata', and then as if he had just remembered, he turned around and went back to get the bamboo basket that had been placed at the door before, turned around and walked towards Wu Jue, sat on the chair where Wu Jue was sleeping just now, and said to Wu Jue while picking up herbs:
"It's been a long time since anyone called me that."
Hearing this, Wu Jue hurriedly respectfully bowed to Mr. Ogata, and then got up and said:
"Mr. Ogata, junior Wu Jue, I have come to thank Mr. for saving his life half a year ago."
Ogata waved his hand and said:
"Young man, it's a good thing to know how to be grateful, but you don't have to be so careful, didn't you leave a letter before you left, the old man just knew that you were a good boy. Thank you or something, just spare it, in this world, the old man has no other skills, so I will save people. ”
Wu Jue nodded when he heard this, and said:
"Actually, the juniors came here today not only to personally thank Mr. Ogata for saving his life, but also to ask Mr. Ogata for another more important thing."
Ogata is a little strange now. I said in my heart that I am not related to you, but I happened to see it and rescued it, how could I be found today not only to thank you. Is there anything else to ask for?
"What's the matter? Old man, I'm old, and I live in this deep mountain and old forest, where else is there anything for me to help? ”
Seeing this, Wu Jue hurriedly bowed again and said:
"The seniors misunderstood, it's not that the juniors have something to ask for, but that someone else heard that the juniors had seen Mr. Ogata in this Nishijin Mountain, so they asked the juniors to come and ask Mr. Ogata to come down the mountain to help."
"Help? Still going down the mountain?! Don't go! When Ogata heard this, he waved his hand at Wu Jue. lowered his head and continued to pick up the herbs in the bamboo basket, looking unwilling to deal with Wu Jue.
Wu Jue couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this, and said in his heart that this old man's temper was really strange.
Although Mr. Ogata looks like he is thousands of miles away. Wu Jue was not in a hurry at all, and said in his heart Anyway, it is the matter of your apprentice and your friend's apprentice, Mr. Ogata will definitely not refuse, and it is late to see that it is dark. It's impossible to set off right now. So it got up and became casual.
Wu Jue squatted down beside Mr. Ogata, looked at the shaking herbs in Mr. Ogata's hand, and couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Senior, what kind of medicine are you taking here?"
Ogata saw that the kid next to him was still looking anxious, why did he become so calm in a blink of an eye? couldn't help but look at Wu Jue twice, and said:
"Where did you get what herbs? I didn't hear from the woodcutter that you were waiting at my house that I came back so soon. I thought it might be the little baby I saved half a year ago. ”
Little baby......
Wu Jue even trembled his nerves now, little baby. It's almost the same as calling Deng Si'er, he is already an adult. Where is the little baby?!
"Senior, since these are not medicinal herbs, why did you go into the mountains?" Wu Jue asked.
But seeing Mr. Ogata smile mysteriously, he approached Wu Jue like a child and said:
"Look at it, although there are no precious and rare medicinal materials here, but if you look at these mushrooms and these wild vegetables, they are all superior things, no worse than those rare herbs."
Wu Jue couldn't help blinking when he heard this, seeing that there were indeed more mushrooms and wild vegetables in the bamboo basket, and couldn't help but wonder:
"You went into the mountains just to find these things to eat?"
Mr. Ogata looked at Wu Jue with a 'you know' expression and said:
"Of course, the body is the foundation of survival, and if you don't enjoy the appetite, how can you experience the flavors of life?"
Wu Jue pursed his lips when he saw this, and said disapprenously:
"My predecessors are really different."
"That's necessary, when I use this mushroom with this wild vegetable and cook some chicken, it's really delicious...... You kid, it's better to come early than to come by chance, this mushroom and wild vegetables only grow at this time, but it's a blessing, it's cheaper for you kid. Mr. Ogata said proudly.
The corners of Wu Jue's mouth pulled unnaturally, and said with a smile:
"Thank you so much for the love of your predecessors."
So, then Wu Jue sat aside and watched Mr. Ogata's busy work inside and out, his expression was excited and his face was ruddy, I really don't know how long I have been waiting for this mouthful......
However, Mr. Ogata's craftsmanship is really not boasting, and when the small pot on the stove began to bubble out with a rich fragrance, Wu Jue, who was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit.
"It smells so good...... Is this really mushrooms and wild vegetables? There must be something else, right? Wu Jue smelled the rich aroma and asked curiously.
Ogata glanced at Wu Jue in surprise when he heard this, and secretly said that this kid's nose was really sensitive, so he couldn't help but stop slightly and said:
"Of course, it's not just mushrooms and wild vegetables, but also the secret leek sauce that my old man has been researching for many years!"
Wu Jue blinked, and finally sighed silently in his heart:
Senior, you have lived in this Xishen Mountain for several years, and it turns out that you are studying food!
If your apprentice Yu Baicao, who is in a hurry to get angry, knows about this, maybe he will spit out a mouthful of old blood......
"Alright, this pot has to be stewed for another half an hour." Mr. Ogata finally finished everything in his hand, then turned around and took a chair and sat next to Wu Jue, with a look on his face, and said with a slightly serious expression:
"Boy, I know you're here in a hurry. Say, after staying with me for so long, I can see that you are a good boy. If there's anything I can do to help, I'll see. ”
Wu Jue couldn't help but look at him with some gratitude when he heard Mr. Ogata's words, but when he heard the later sentence 'I'll do it', he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows again.
However, Wu Jue knew that the situation was urgent, and he was not pretentious, and said bluntly:
"Actually, the younger generation came this time because he was entrusted by the contemporary Nanhu Baicao Yu Yingran, and came to ask Mr. Ogata to go down the mountain to Nanhu Villa."
Ogata couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and said without paying much attention:
"He? What is that kid looking for me? Didn't I tell him that I would go to him when I had time, why, what was going on with him? I'll just say that this young man, if he sits in a high position too early, it is better to cultivate with peace of mind for a few more years. What's there to do with that herb? If it's for this reason, you go back and tell him that I'm old, but I don't care about all those troubles. ”
Wu Jue's eyelids couldn't help but roll upward, endured it vigorously, and said in a deep voice:
"It's not Yu Baicao, it's the left idiot who caught the head and had an accident, and besides, it's a major matter of human life!" (To be continued.) )
