Chapter 94: You can't be greedy as a fox
Yuezhi stared at the big tree and shouted, "There is only one ancient tree in front of me, and there are no old people. ”
The air was silent for a moment, and the ancient tree suddenly moved, which frightened Yuezhi's heart tightened, and she turned around and ran.
barely ran a dozen steps, and then let an old man who appeared inexplicably blocked the way.
"Hey, hey, what are you running!"
Yuezhi covered her face and pointed to the ancient tree behind her, and said with a trembling voice: "That ancient tree will eat people, I, if I don't run, will I wait for him to come and eat me?"
"Cannibalism?" the old man laughed, "hahaha...... Aren't you a little fox, when did you become a human?"
"I, I ......"
"I'm me, I'm what am I?...... "Seeing Yuezhi's little face flushed with anxiety from herself, the old man couldn't help but want to tease her, "I said little fox, you shouldn't really treat yourself as a human being, right?"
As if he had the right idea, Yuezhi looked down at the ground and said nothing.
"Hey, hey, hey, are you dumb?"
When the old man's broken voice came again, Yuezhi remembered that she didn't even seem to have seen what the person in front of her looked like. Only then did she raise her head and look intently.
I saw that he was dressed in a green coarse cloth and rotten clothes, with a thin and short rattan in the bun on the top of his head, a pair of tan grass shoes on his feet, and a long beard with a scruffy mouth, and he lived out the image of a sloppy and sloppy old man.
"Old man, old man?" Yuezhi stared at him and thought to him, and suddenly a spirit, "Ah, you are the old man?"
"yes, I'm the ...... Old, people, home!hehe......" said the old man mischievously.
Thinking of what he asked him just now, Yuezhi unconsciously lowered her head, very depressed, "Old man, actually, in fact, I ......"
Before he finished speaking, the old man interrupted, "Don't talk yet, let me guess and see if I guess right!"
After that, he stroked his long beard with one hand, stretched out his five fingers with the other hand and calculated, made a contemplative gesture, and after a while, he said slowly: "You fell in love with a mortal man, and you are willing to accompany him for the rest of your life, but that mortal man does not love you, but you are not dead." You came to me for him. Little fox, you said that I am an old man, are you right?"
Yuezhi listened carefully, raised her head and affirmed: "Accurate, accurate! ”
"Alas!" the old man sighed, shook his head, turned his back and read in a long voice: "Ask what is the situation in the world, and teach people to live and die!"
Seeing him walking forward, Yuezhi strode over, chattering around him, "Old man, I heard that you are a strange person who knows the affairs of the Six Realms, you must know where my son-in-law is, right?"
"Also, you said that Childe doesn't love me, so what should I do to make him fall in love with me?"
"Also, I want to be with him, I want to think about it, but he has always rejected me thousands of miles away, and when I am with him, sometimes I feel very happy, but sometimes I feel so painful and uncomfortable. Teach me how I can save it from being so painful?"
"Stop, stop, stop!" the old man waved his fingers and shouted at Yuezhi.
He walked back and forth in place several times with his hands folded, and finally stopped, frowning at Yuezhi and stretching out his index finger in front of her and shaking it again and again: "Little fox, I just said a word, a word! You said you, is it necessary to say such a lot?"
Yuezhi frowned, pouted and muttered, "I think it's very necessary." ”
The old man's eyes widened, "What did you say?!"
Seeing him blowing his beard and glaring at him, Yuezhi hurriedly waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's nothing." ”
The old man took a sharp breath, and then spat out, blowing his long beard into the air. After the long beard fell quietly, he glanced at Yuezhi and said unhurriedly: "Little fox, I have to say ugly things in front." The old man has the rules of the old man, and since you are here, I will not let you go home empty-handed, but you must also abide by my rules. ”
"What are the rules? ”
The old man walked to a big rock with his hands behind his back and sat down cross-legged, and then said, "You asked me three questions, and I can only answer one of you. But you'll have to trade one of your most precious things for me. Otherwise, don't talk about it!"
Yuezhi nodded thoughtfully, "That's why you're called the only question by everyone?"
"Yo, the little fox is good, he even knows the name of the person I asked, so why do you ask so many questions? At this point, the old man became impatient again, "Oh, I said little fox, you hurry, if you procrastinate any longer, I will send off the guest!"
Yuezhi walked to his side and sat down, hesitating and tangled.
She looked at a red flower in the distance in a daze, looking lonely and sad, "But I, three questions, I want answers......
"Na, you can't be greedy to be a fox!" the old man got up and patted his buttocks, "Little fox, you just think about it, when you think about it, shout three more times and ask, and I'll come out!"
"No need. Yuezhi grabbed the corner of his coat and looked up and said, "Now I can tell you that I will exchange the first one with you." ”
After speaking, she stood up and looked at him with a sincere face, "Please tell me, where is my son-in-law now?"
"Okay, come with me. ”
Yuezhi followed the old man through a dark passage made of tree branches to a small wooden house.
The old man told her to wait outside, and soon brought a glass of water from the house.
He handed her the water and said, "Drink a glass of water first to suppress the shock." ”
Yuezhi was puzzled, "Why? I wasn't frightened?"
The old man smiled, "Hehe...... Just because there is no fright now does not mean that there will be no in the future? This glass of water should be regarded as making you frightened in advance. In addition, the son you are looking for is far away and close at hand. If you really want to find him, try your luck in the town of Pho. ”
"Reclining Pho, where is this town?"
"Then you'll have to find it yourself. ”
"I see, thank you for your advice. ”
Yuezhi drank all the water and returned the cup to the old man, then ripped off a very delicate jade pendant from his waist and gave it away.
"This jade pendant is a personal thing that Yuezhi was born with on his body, except for it, Yuezhi has no other precious objects, and I hope the old man will not dislike it. ”
The old man took the jade pendant and held it up to the air and looked at it again, he couldn't put it down, "Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, this baby is very good!"
"That'...... Yuezhi farewell!"
"Ah, wait!" the old man stopped her.
Yuezhi turned around and asked, "Is there anything else to do with the old man?"
The old man pouted and twisted, "This, that...... Little fox, listen to the old man's advice, don't be too careful about this person, it's not worth it, it's not worth it. ”
Yuezhi couldn't help but let out a wry smile, "Huh...... Thanks for the reminder. It's just that once some feelings are in the bone marrow, it's really difficult not to use their hearts. ”
