138 And when he entered the valley, he was old

At noon on the second day after leaving the broken temple, Guan Lao and Zhan Xiaoyan and the other five people arrived in the valley, and Yan Qihao and Lou Qingyang lived in the inn that arrived an hour ago, because Guan Lao said that the senior would not let outsiders enter the valley, so they lived here first, and the five of them would come back tonight or tomorrow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When he was about to reach the entrance of the valley, Guan Lao let the four people in the carriage get out of the carriage, because he was the only one who knew the way, so he drove the car in person, and when he arrived, he had to go down and walk for a quarter of an hour, and the valley was full of poisonous flowers and poisonous plants that seemed to be delicate and beautiful, but were actually dangerous.

Finally, Guan Lao stopped in front of a stone that said "Water Stream Valley", and then used his internal force to slap each of the three words, followed by a loud sound, and then the big stone moved away, revealing a stone staircase path down. Obviously, this is the way they are going, because Guan Lao took out the Night Pearl, led Zhan Xiaotian and Zhan Xiaoyu brothers, and also let Zhan Xiaoyan take out the Night Pearl, take Zhan Xiaoyan, and walk carefully.

In the darkness, according to the light of the night pearl, she walked forward, paying attention to the road under her feet at any time, and she smiled silently calculating the time, and walked for more than half an hour before she saw the light in front of her, and every step she took was in the place where Guan Lao said she could go, and fortunately, Xiao Ning and herself had a tacit understanding, so neither of them made a mistake, and they both walked to the exit safely. When you walk out of the exit, you will see a place full of green grass and flowers, but there are no butterflies or bees here, and it is clear that these flowers and plants are not so simple.

"Then you follow me and do not leave, do not touch the flowers or plants here, and walk to the old fellow's dwelling, and walk through a thick fog in addition to the valley here. It's not just that you can't see the road in front of you clearly, but if you take the wrong step, someone may come over. Guan Lao instructed again. Although he had said these words once before they entered the valley entrance, and knew that Zhan Xiaoyan was the one who could tell the difference, now he said them again out of the fear and concern that his grandfather had for his grandchildren.

"Okay, Grandpa, we'll be careful, we won't easily make a mistake. It's been more than half an hour since we started, so try to be as fast as you can, because it's more reassuring to arrive at your destination as soon as possible! Zhan smiled and nodded.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be in a hurry, girl. Okay, then I'll pick up the pace, I haven't seen the old guy for three years, and the last time I was divided because of a prescription, and finally I broke up, I wonder if he will welcome me to visit again? Guan Lao said, and continued to walk forward, and the brothers also watched his pace, and followed step by step.

Fortunately, this time I didn't walk for long, because the road was not very far, so I arrived after a quarter of an hour, and came to another entrance, and when I stood there, I felt a cold air rushing towards my face, which must be very comfortable in summer, but in such weather, it will only make people feel cold.

"You can follow me, because there are not only mechanisms and the road ahead that we can't see clearly, but staying in it for a long time will also hurt the body, especially girls who are born cold. Girl, you have calculated the time, and you know that it took us half an hour to walk up the stone steps at the entrance, and then a quarter of an hour on the meadow, and only half an hour to walk through the fog, otherwise it would have hurt us for a long time. Guan Lao told again.

It seems to be just a fog, but it is the most dangerous of the three journeys, because this fog is formed due to the ice cave specially built by the old guy in the valley, so although the distance is very short, you must be very careful at every step, otherwise if you go wrong, you will touch the mechanism.

"Okay, grandpa, we'll definitely pay attention, will we start leaving?" Zhan smiled and glanced at the little sister, and then nodded solemnly. She knew that the reason why Guan Lao brought the four of them to meet his friend must not only be to introduce herself to him, but also to let the senior take the pulse of the little sister and be more sure of the time when she would regain her sight, so even if this road is difficult, she must go through it.

Fortunately, although it was really cold, they followed Guan Lao and walked step by step, and finally saw every step clearly in the fog that could not see the road ahead, and finally stood smoothly to a place without fog, and what appeared in front of them was a waterfall. There really was only one waterfall, and there was no other way to do it, so were they going to cross it next?

"Girl, Xiao Yu, Xiao Tian, and Xiao Ning, this is the final entrance, through this waterfall is the old guy's residence, he must have known that we are here, how we walked these three roads, he must have been watching in the dark. Otherwise, isn't it dangerous for his valley to let people come in at will? Also, no matter what the old fellow says to you, don't be surprised, because he is my friend and the one with whom I often argue, and he will say a few words to my apprentice, not to mention that you still recognize me as a grandfather. ”

When a few people were about to start walking through the waterfall, Guan Lao also specially told them these words. Because the reason why we can become friends is because we know each other's personalities, and there is a feeling of similar smell. However, others may not understand their dialogue and relationship patterns, so I have to explain it specifically.

"It's okay, grandpa! I know that senior is a friend of grandpa, and it is a very important friend, otherwise, I don't think grandpa will bring us to meet him, so no matter what he says, we will respect him! Zhan Xiaoyan also knew what Guan Lao's words meant, so he said with a smile. Then the five of them crossed the waterfall, naturally their clothes must have been wet, but they also successfully saw the house not far away, and finally arrived at their destination.

"Old fellow, I'm coming, come out quickly!" Guan Lao stood in front of the gate and shouted angrily. Zhan Xiaoyan's four siblings snickered, they knew that their grandfather did it on purpose, otherwise, if it was just through a door, there would be no need to say hello so loudly. Obviously, he was in return for the old friend who secretly watched the five of them walk through those three sections, but he didn't come out and took them in directly.

"You old thing, since you're here, come in quickly, why are you yelling, don't you have the strength to push the door?" Just as Guan Lao's words fell, another voice full of energy sounded, and then there was the sound of footsteps, and finally the door was opened, and the four smiling sisters and brothers saw the old man with white eyebrows and black hair with a baby face. He was blushing at this time, glaring at Guan Lao angrily, blushing not because he was embarrassed, but because he was obviously angry.

"Brother Guan is here? And these four children, are they your new apprentices? Come in quickly, lunch is ready, it's for seven people in total, everyone is coming in, don't stand at the door, sit down quickly, and eat first! A man walked out of it with a dish, looked at everyone and said.

"You four come in, old things don't come in! I said I would never come to me again, so why do you want to come now! And deliberately chose this time to eat, you just stand here for me and watch us eat! Come, children, come in with Grandpa Tian, let's eat! Tian Lao said, he was about to hold Xiao Ning's hand, because although he was not a doctor, he could see that among the four children, her eyes could not see.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa Tian, we can't go in. Because grandpa told us before that he wanted to take us to meet a senior, and that senior was of course Grandpa Tian. Tell Grandpa Tian that he recognized us as grandchildren, and let you know that he will not be alone in the future! Because we will always take care of him, and we will not leave him without relatives. Zhan smiled and shook his head, refusing. She knew that the two old men were vindictive, but they both cared about each other very much, and now they just needed a step down, so it was impossible for the four of them to walk in and sit there to eat.

"Really? It turns out that he brought you here today to let me know that he has grandchildren and granddaughters! I also thought that if he brought the four of you over, it shouldn't mean that he accepted four apprentices at one time! Tian Lao was surprised when he heard Zhan Xiaoyan say this, but then he knew that this was exactly a step that he and Guan Lao needed, so he looked at Guan Lao and said:

"Old thing, I see that you don't make it clear, just there with a pestle, like a piece of wood, and you don't know how to refute me. Well, since it's your grandson and granddaughter, let's hurry in and eat! After you opened the entrance just now, I felt it, and when I observed you in the dark, I also knew that all four of them were good boys, and you had found a treasure! Tian Lao said, walked to the dining table and sat down, Guan Lao also understood what his old friend meant, so he was not stubborn, and took the four sisters and brothers with Zhan Xiaoyan and sat down on both sides.

"Alright, just come in! Brother Guan, there is your favorite stir-fried pork with green peppers, and four children, if you want, just call me 'Grandma Tian'." Not only because I am Grandpa Tian's wife, but also because I am also surnamed Tian! As for lunch, because this is the first time I've met you today, and I only have time to listen to my wife and prepare a meal for seven people, so I don't know if you like it! ”

Tian looked at the expressions of his wife and Guan Lao, and knew that the matter had passed, they were like this every time, after arguing, they all said that they would ignore each other again, the short time was a few months, and the longest was five years, so this time it was a long time. But after ignoring each other for a while, they will still meet, but every time they need to have a step down.

"It's okay, we're not picky eaters, and we're just casual guests, thank you Grandma Tian! Come, the three of you should also say 'Thank you, Grandma Tian'!" Zhan said with a smile. Originally, they would see the couple and their husbands, but because Guan Lao brought them in, it was impossible to put forward any dissatisfied opinions. And these home-cooked dishes are already so good that they don't need to be picky at all.

"Good, good, good boy! You are all sensible and good children! Then don't be polite to eat more, after walking for such a long time, you must be hungry, hurry up and eat some, if there is anything, wait until after lunch! Tian said, and served a few people with dishes, and they all thanked them, and then glanced at Guan Lao and Tian Lao, and then lowered their heads and ate slowly. Because their stomachs are really hungry, so don't say anything more now, and fill your stomach first.

After lunch, Tian went to wash the dishes, and Zhan Xiaoyan was going to help her, but Guan Lao stopped her, obviously something was wrong. And she also guessed that Guan Lao must not only introduce himself and the four sisters and brothers to Tian Lao, but also wanted him to take the pulse of the little sister. After all, Guan Lao said that although Tian Lao studied poison arts, which was contrary to the medical skills he knew, it did not mean that poison techniques could not save people. And even if Zhan Xiaoning doesn't need Tian Lao to save him, at least he can take the pulse!

"Old thing, since you're treating this girl, don't you know what kind of condition she's like? Whether I take her pulse or not, she is recovering, and there are thirty-five to forty days at most before she can regain her sight. And her own frailty, because she has been nourished by drinking nourishing soup for the past few years, her internal organs have been maintained, so it doesn't matter. After she regains her sight, she will naturally return to the same health and happiness as ordinary girls of the same age! Tian Lao said after taking Zhan Xiaoning's pulse.

"Of course I know my own medical skills, and now I'm asking you to take the pulse, just to be more sure. Originally, I brought them here, just to let you see them, to let you know that I will not be lonely in my old age, at least someone will serve me, regardless of my life or death, and the four of them are all good children. Okay, I've seen you too, and you know they're all good boys, so we're leaving, we didn't plan to spend the night here, and you shouldn't have a place to sleep for the five of us. That's it, next time I have a chance, I'll see you again! ”

Guan Lao said, and stood up, of course, Zhan Xiaoyan and the others did the same as him. They began to dismount and enter the entrance at half past noon, and by this time it had been more than an hour, and it was already the end of the hour, so it was almost time to leave.

"You old thing, can't you stay a little longer? We didn't know the winner of the last game we played! You don't know when you'll come back, so finish this game! Wife, go get the chessboard out! Tian Lao had obviously already thought about it, so there was no way, Guan Lao had to sit back and play chess with him! (To be continued.) )
