Until the sun sank, and finally the old man woke up first, opened his eyes, and instantly felt the difference, first his body was a lot easier, and then he had a lot more strength in his body, and the most important thing was that his breathing became much smoother, and there was no longer the feeling of coughing up the whole lung!

As soon as the old man was about to get up, Yunxiao on the side pounced on him, "Grandpa, grandpa!" Whining...! You're scared to death! ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly hugged Yunxiao and coaxed, "Oh! Don't be afraid, don't be afraid...! Grandpa is fine, grandpa won't leave the ...... of the clouds! ”

"Woo...!" Yunxiao's body arched vigorously in the old man's arms, and he sobbed from time to time.

It wasn't until a while that the old man calmed Yunxiao, obviously the situation just now really frightened him! The old man kept shaking the clouds in his arms, like a cradle, and the two of them talked from time to time, which seemed very harmonious.

The old man lowered his head, and just wanted to ask what was going on just now, but suddenly found a large patch of blood on Yunxiao's clothes, and his face changed instantaneously and asked, "Yunxiao, this blood... Is this blood..., are you hurt in that place? Fast! Show it to grandpa! ”

Yunxiao stuck out his tongue, and then he remembered that he was in a hurry to come back, and he didn't even change the bloodstained school uniform, and now it was impossible to hide it, so he pointed to the scar on his neck sideways, and told his grandfather everything on the bus in a milky voice, and pointed to the Taoist sitting on the chair from time to time, and as the story developed, it also made the old man's face more complicated...

…………

When the Taoist priest woke up from meditation, it was already dark outside, and the room was clearly illuminated by the incandescent lamp on the roof, he walked down from the chair, and his whole body was shaken, and the crackling sound like fried beans continued to sound, which also made him breathe a sigh of comfort, and a light breeze blew next to him, with the tempting aroma of rice, so that the Taoist's stomach couldn't help but rumble.

At this time, Yunxiao happened to be about to come in, and when he heard the voice, he immediately pointed at the Taoist and giggled, "Uncle's stomach is thundering!" Ha ha...! ”

The Taoist hurriedly patted his stomach, blushed a little embarrassed and said, "How can there be?" That's where you heard it wrong! ”

Yunxiao laughed even louder, ran behind the Taoist and pushed him as he walked, laughing, "Hurry up, hurry up!" Grandpa has already cooked all the meals, and you're the only one left! I'll tell you, grandpa's cooking is delicious! I haven't eaten in a long time......"

The two of them walked out of the room, facing a small small dark red square table in the middle, showing that the table had been used for a long time, and two or three plates had been placed on it by the clouds, exuding an attractive aroma.

Yunxiao first pressed the Taoist to sit on a chair to rest, then ran to the kitchen next to him, and then ran back cautiously, and plates of dishes full of color and fragrance gradually filled the square table. This meal can indeed be described as sumptuous, with a large table lined up, in which all kinds of snacks are available.

When Yunxiao and the old man were also sitting, the three of them laughed and laughed, which also made the Taoist feel that the food was incisive for the first time, and the atmosphere at the banquet was also good, the old man did not have the wood of the ordinary peasant, and he also went out when he was young, and he was a chef, and he was also slightly famous outside, and he did not return to his hometown until he was older.

The Taoist is even simpler, just saying that he is a wandering Taoist priest, whose name is Guan Sihai, and the meaning of taking the four seas as his home, and nothing else has been revealed.

This meal was also enjoyed by the guests, and the two chatted casually, and for some things, in front of Yunxiao, they did not involve each other.

Among the three people, Yunxiao was the first to put down the dishes and chopsticks, said that he was full, and hurried to the kitchen, then took out a small bamboo basket, stood on a high chair, and wandered around with his eyes.

The Taoist first glanced at Yunxiao suspiciously, and then reached out to pick up a chicken leg that was full of color and flavor, in his eyes, this dish was definitely a delicacy, but the chopsticks stretched out, and the plate was gone???

The Taoist grew his mouth, and watched Yunxiao's small body bend in a daze, his fingers kept brushing, and suddenly more than half of the dishes on the table were gone, all of them were put into a small basket, and in front of the Taoist, he finally smiled at him.

What a pure smile! The Taoist has a bitter face, but you don't need to take the rice I just served, right? Is this an alternative flip board for serving tea to guests?

The Taoist was so shocked that the chopsticks were about to fall, and Yunxiao was finally satisfied, carefully covered the basket with a clean white cloth, jumped off the chair, said hello to his grandfather, and stepped on the basket and ran out happily.

The Taoist looked at the back of the clouds gradually moving away and sighed! He was just ignored!!

The old man sitting on the throne smiled apologetically and explained, "Those things were taken to an orphan in the village, once he went out to play, and happened to come across it, and then Yunxiao was afraid that he would be hungry, so he would give him some food to eat every day, this is the kindness of the child, and I have never asked, it really makes you laugh!" ”

The Taoist hurriedly said, "Where, where! It's a good thing that this kid has a good heart, and he will be productive when he grows up! ”

The old man smiled, put down his chopsticks and said sincerely, "I haven't had time to thank the Taoist chief yet!" It's really troublesome for you to put so much effort into my life! ”

The Taoist shook his head, "You don't have to thank me, I am also entrusted by others and loyal to others!" If you want to be grateful, thank you for having such a well-behaved grandson as Yunxiao! ”

"Yunxiao is indeed well-behaved, and he hasn't bothered me since I was a child, but..." The old man sighed, stunned for a moment, and then suddenly changed his words, "I still have a few questions I want to ask the Taoist, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

The Taoist nodded predictably, "As long as I can answer, I will definitely know everything!" ”

"How much longer do I have to live?"

The Taoist's action of drinking tea suddenly stiffened, and he said, "Why do you think so?" ”

"No one knows their own body better than me, and although the Dao Chief's medical skills are exquisite, he can't let a person who dies frequently return to his original state in an instant, right?"

The Taoist sighed, "Not bad! I really don't have the ability, all I can do is stimulate the acupoints of your body and prolong your life for some time! ”

The old man nodded knowingly and asked calmly, "How long?" ”

The Taoist stretched out his finger and said slowly, "Five hours!" From the time you wake up, as for the rest, I can't do anything else! ”

"Huh! Five hours? It's really long! The Taoist does not have to be arrogant, I am afraid that the only person in this world who can achieve this is the Taoist chief! The old man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and actually laughed happily.

The Taoist shook his head, neither refuting nor admitting it, but admired the old man's open-mindedness.

"With all this time, I can also say goodbye to Yunxiao!" The old man sighed, then stood up again and thanked him, "Thank you very much for your compassion and mercy, so that I can finally fulfill my wish." ”

This thank-you person accepted it all, nodded and said, "If you have anything unfinished, hurry up!" When you come to the world, it's better to be comfortable when you leave! ”

"The only thing I can't let go of in my heart is the clouds! I heard Yunxiao say just now that the Taoist chief had seen that piece of jade before, I don't know if he knew it? The old man's dim eyes suddenly had a little more expectation.

The Taoist nodded directly, without the slightest concealment, "Know, that's an ancient jade, I used to ......"

The old man suddenly stood up excitedly and interrupted, "Did you send him here that night five years ago?" ”

The Taoist frowned and looked at him suspiciously, "Five years ago? At night? What is it? ”

"It was the night when it rained heavily five years ago! Have you forgotten? The old man's expression became even more excited, and he suddenly grabbed the Taoist's arm tightly, "You put him in front of my door, and let me take care of him, you said you must come back to me!" Isn't it coming for me now? ”

The Taoist did not resist, but became curious, five years ago? That night? What the hell is going on here? unexpectedly made this old man, who had seen through life and death, nervous like this.

"You said you would come back to him, and you said that the jade was the proof, did you forget?" The old man's hands were shaking.

The Taoist saw the eagerness in the old man's eyes, but said helplessly, "Five years ago, I was in the mountains by myself, it was a sunny day, and I never gave you anything!" ”

"It's... This... How is this possible? Then you say you know this piece of jade, you say..."The old man said anxiously.

The Taoist patted the old man's stiff arm comfortingly, and said in a gentle tone, "I said that I know this piece of jade, it is a very famous ancient jade, I have seen it in a book before, and that's all!" ”

The old man was struck by lightning, and instantly sat down on the chair in a decadent manner, and kept muttering with blank eyes, "How is it possible? How could it be... How did it come to this? ”
