I thought that I needed to take a carriage to travel with an old man. But looking at the two horses at the door, Zuo Jichuan couldn't help laughing.

Mu Lao turned over on the horse in a dashing manner, squinting at Zuo Jichuan: "Young man, don't think that the old man can't ride a horse when he is old." If you really want to fight together, you may not be able to fight the old man. ”

Ouch, is this a provocation or a shout? Zuo Jichuan smiled even more happily. Mu Lao is very similar to his grandfather. Grandpa Zuo is a person who does not accept old age. Don't look at the old man's mouth always shouting, if it really fights, the White Tiger may not be able to fight the old man.

Grandpa Zuo is a legend in Zuo Jichuan's mind. A grandfather who is nearly 100 years old and can still compete with people in his early 30s has always been the pride of Zuo Jichuan.

It's very comfortable to go out with such a person. It doesn't need you to take care of it, and it can give you support at critical moments. Such people do not cause trouble.

According to the route on the map, they had to go south along the official road.

Mu Lao didn't wear the drifting clothes he usually wears, but wears a strong suit. This made Zuo Jichuan and Shigehua stunned.

Although I don't know the exact age of Mu Lao, he must be close to 90 years old. A strong outfit to highlight a good figure.

Standing next to Zuo Jichuan, who is about the height of the left and right, he is not inferior at all.

Chonghua's wide mouth couldn't close. Such tight lines and muscles. Is it really an old man who is about to turn 100? Or is this how kung fu should be?

No, it's not that she hasn't seen it, such as Huang Feihong's father, such as Ip Man. How could a dying old man have such a strong physique?

Luo Chen didn't care at all, obviously he had lived in the mountains with Mu Lao for so many years, and he was already no longer surprised.

In the first few days, Zuo Jichuan was very worried about the old man's body. I wasn't in too much of a hurry. But it didn't take more than three days to be despised by Mu Lao.

Zuo and Chuanpi listened to Mu Lao's emotional posture with a smile and complained that he was so delicate and weak that he couldn't bear to ride a horse for a long time, and almost really vomited blood to show him.

"Grandpa, is your figure like this congenital, or is it an acquired practice?" Zuo Jichuan talked about a topic, and then listened to Mu Lao complain that he was about to burst his blood vessels.

Mu Lao is gushing about educating young people in Zuo Jichuan to go to bed early and get up early, eat more vegetables, fruits, lean meat, eggs, and milk. I heard Zuo Jichuan say this. Stretch the line of your arm.

"Nature is acquired, and whoever is born like this."

Zuo Jichuan nodded, foreign countries can often see a muscular grandfather at this age. Although it is not common in China, it is very likely in the United States.

Mu Lao looked at Zuo Jichuan: "Are you like this, is it congenital or acquired?" ”

Zuo Jichuan was stunned. It immediately became clear that what Mu Lao was asking about was not his size, but his mind. Smiled: "Half and half." My grandfather is actually very similar to you. But a little more authoritarian and irritable. Then, on the basis of this genetics, I studied for another long time......"

I have to say that I was able to survive desperately during the Warring States period. Innate inherited traits are really important. When Zuo and Chuan went, he was only the age of an elementary school student. But if it hadn't been for the strong education of my grandfather and father since I was a child, I am afraid that I would have been killed or simply scared to death because I was too scared.

In retrospect, I was able to survive. It's pretty remarkable.

With a wry smile, Zuo Jichuan took out a water bag and took a sip of water.

"Grandpa. Is the place we are going to be the heart of Miaojiang? Zuo Jichuan asked.

Mu Lao thought for a while, took the map and looked at it carefully: "It's not the center, it's still some distance from the altar." This place is supposed to be a ravine, a natural barrier. ”

Gully? Zuo Jichuan was heartbroken, fortunately he brought enough ropes, otherwise if he really needed to go down, he might not be able to reach the end because the rope was not long enough, or he might fall down because the rope was not strong enough.

"Is your rope enough for one man?" Mu Lao asked suddenly.

Zuo Jichuan nodded: "I brought more." ”

Mu Lao stroked his beard: "The old man doesn't need it, it's not a problem to go down." ”

Zuo Jichuan suddenly remembered that this old man was good at light work. Not to mention the next ditch, it will not be a problem last day.

This is the most convenient point for the ancients.

"Miao Jiang is actually a treasure chest." Mu Lao's tone was light, but the content sounded like a chill behind it.

Zuo Jichuan looked at Mu Lao in surprise: "What do you say?" ”

"Because there are so many natural barriers in that place, every country likes to hide its most important secrets there." In ancient times, there was no safe that could be kept secret, and the more natural barriers, the fewer people who went there. Then it's perfect for hiding secrets.

Zuo Jichuan suddenly had a feeling that his blood was gradually boiling. This feeling of being about to enter the tomb of the pharaoh gives an adrenaline rush.

"If we dig up the secrets, will we be besieged by various countries?" In the end, it's calm, after all, this is not modern, and it is not something that can be started after applying for approval.

Mu Lao glanced at Zuo Jichuan deeply: "This is how the water country is. ”

Zuo Jichuan was silent, his eyes drifted away, it seems that even ancient people have shame. If your secret is dug up, you must kill the whole family, and you can't be more paranoid.

There may be some secrets that seem like nothing to modern people, but ancient people would use them to protect them from generation to generation.

After running for about a month, I finally arrived at the border of Miaojiang.

This was a close distance in ancient times. Although it is half as fast as it is to go by water, it is not necessary to draw the attention of neighboring countries by water.

Mu Lao stood at the edge of the dense forest, looking up at the trees that seemed to lead to the sky, silent.

Zuo Jichuan arranged the horses, and the next road was on foot. There is always a feeling that this time, you may find something amazing. Although it is meant to relax, this kind of adventure is perfect for men.

"Grandpa, let's go." Zuo Jichuan said with a smile.

Mu Lao nodded as if he had come back to his senses. The first to go into the dense forest.

Compared to modern global warming, ancient forests really played a cooling role. Although I don't know why the dense forest is not a humid and sultry climate, Zuo Jichuan is still quite glad that there is a temperature difference between the forest and the outside of the forest.

Cool, that's the first impression. It's not as difficult to walk as you might think, and the roads on the ground are mostly dry. It shouldn't be the rainy season yet, so it's not muddy.

Mu Lao shuttled freely through the dense forest, just like he usually walked. I couldn't see the tightness of the leg line at all, and the muscles didn't exert force. Zuo Jichuan carried a backpack and kept a mountaineering posture following him. In order to avoid excessive consumption of the body, Zuo Jichuan took off the village masa and used it as a crutch.

Along the way, Mu Lao was silent, as if immersed in his own world. Although the pace is fast, it has not thrown off Zuo Jichuan.

When entering the forest, for a moment, Zuo Jichuan felt that Mu Lao would disappear in front of him on tiptoe. But Mu Lao didn't. Although people can walk faster, and even jump up the tree like a ninja, the old man still walks step by step. Match the pace of this left and Chuan.

I walked for about three or four hours. The two of them sat down and rested.

Although there are small animals in the dense forest, they have not yet encountered a beast of great destruction. Except for the occasional colorful small snake hanging from the tree. Not even a bear.

The feet of the dry food belt and the water bags were also filled before entering the forest. Zuo Jichuan handed the dry food and water bag to Mu Lao, but Mu Lao did not answer. Just leaning against the tree and squinting to recuperate.

Zuo Jichuan replenished his energy, calculating that it would be almost dark in less than two hours. You have to find a place to set up camp. A campfire had to be lit to keep the wolves from approaching.

I just don't know if there's a place to pitch a tent here.

After resting for about fifteen minutes, the two continued to walk. Still silent. The atmosphere wasn't stiff, but it wasn't very convivial.

It's like you're on a mission. Zuo Jichuan looked at the old man in front of him who did not slow down at all, thinking that the old man must have something on his mind. or in remembrance of family, or in lamenting that things are wrong. All in all, he followed closely, and didn't say unnecessary words.

After going through so much, he knows that sometimes people just need a quiet environment to quietly settle their feelings. Not everything is suitable for speaking. Not everything is alleviated by saying it.

Follow in silence, this kind of walking will gradually calm down.

It felt as if there was nothing left in the world but walking, very relaxed and empty.

"This is it." Mu Lao suddenly stopped, pointed to a big tree that required about ten people to hold together, and said.

Zuo Jichuan raised his head and looked at the tree that almost covered the sky, could this tree be a coordinate?

"At night, just rest here." Mu Lao said, on tiptoe, the person jumped up the tree.

Sleep in a tree...... That's a great idea...... Zuo Jichuan almost couldn't cry or laugh. I thought about thousands of developments, but I forgot about this development of sleeping in a tree.

What if it falls off in the middle of the night?

Or tie yourself up? Seems like a good way to do it.

Fortunately, Mu Lao still cared for him a little and lowered the rope from above. Zuo Jichuan climbed up the rope and saw an old log cabin.

"Grandpa, your secret base is well built." Zuo Jichuan said with a smile. It couldn't be better to have such a convenient place to stay.

No wonder Mu Lao didn't bring anything, in the end it was a familiar place, and sure enough, there was an old man in the family.

Spread the tent you brought with you on the ground and make do with it for the night today.

Mu Lao sat by the window, looking at the dense forest outside, as if he was caught in a memory. (To be continued) R580
