Chapter 343: Be at peace with what happens
The morning dew reflects the brilliance of the delicate sun in the east, shining as bright as pearls. The mist is wrapped in the mountains, and the fresh air carries the fragrance and humidity of mud and grass.
Zhao Zixian was lying on Erhan's back, and his gaze changed as his footsteps moved. His original plan to go to Miao Jiang first was temporarily changed due to the whereabouts of the Fire Spirit Ginseng. After Vegan's injury, he paid special attention to the gains and losses of Fire Spirit Ginseng. Not only looking forward to the special effects of the true qi of fire, but also looking forward to the changes after the five spirits gathered.
The stream that could be seen under the eaves of the Li family's ancestral house seemed to be very close, but it took them nearly two hours to walk. It's not that it's too far, it's that the mountain roads are rugged and difficult. In many places, thorns and weeds have grown because of years of neglect. Lu Jie was not allowed to open the way in front of him with a scythe.
The murmuring water of the stream is clear and the bottom is clear, and the small fish are swimming happily. Lu Jie bore the brunt of the jump into the water without hesitation, and said, "Boss, you go first, I'll catch a few fish for lunch." With that, he rushed out of his waist and folded and pulled the stick, and began to insert the fish.
Zhao Zixian smiled and didn't stop it, "Don't lose it." He also wanted to repay the delicious taste of the wild fish in the mountains. Besides, as long as he doesn't delay the trip, he can't order Lu Jie to hurry too much. On the first day of departure, I didn't want to make a fuss, so I let him go.
Erhan really didn't blow when he had the strength, and he walked on the mountain road with Zhao Zixian on his back, without taking a breath. As for the two brothers of the Lin family, they also looked like they were lightly gunned, especially the younger brother Lin Zhiyin, who sang all the way. It's a song from a singer of the same name as him, and although there are a few tones from time to time, the sound quality is still good. Overall, it's a treat.
The black bitter girl has a solid foundation in martial arts, jumping happily along the way, and she doesn't look tired. As for Li Yucai, she has good physical fitness, and she didn't show any tiredness after walking for several hours in a row.
This is bitter Zhao Zixian, who was carried on his back. Due to the rugged mountain road, he didn't have a life on Erhan's back, and he almost didn't vomit out the bumpy seven meat and eight vegetables.
"Stop and rest. When Lu Jie came over, we had lunch and hurried away. Zhao Zixian said. He really couldn't stand it, and secretly complained in his heart: It's really useless to be old!
The people found a more spacious place and stopped to rest.
Lin Cong took out a tarp from his backpack and leveled the weeds under a big road, and assisted him. The second dared to put Zhao Zixian on the tarp and sit down, but he couldn't run not far away and leaned against the tree to drink water and rest.
Lin Zhiyin was still humming his brother, and began to look for firewood to make a fire. And the two beauties, one on the left and one on the right, sat next to Zhao Zixian, shushing the cold and asking for warmth.
When Lin Zhiyin turned the fire into flowers, Lu Jie rushed over with a string of fish, "Look, it's rich enough." Dinner was settled. As he spoke, he lifted a string of fish through his cheek with a rope.
There were more than 20 fish chopsticks in that string, and there were two big guys that were arm long.
Zhao Zixian hesitated slightly and said, "Black girl, you go cook." I'll do what I say, let's have Zhao's grilled fish. "I really want to do it myself, but my physical condition is not enough.
"Okay! I've learned to cook for you every day, hehe. The black bitter girl stood up as she spoke, and quickly took out a dry spice from her backpack. They are fully prepared, and they plan to eat from the mountains, and the food is not as much as the seasoning. There must be a lot of edible things in the mountains, and five of them grew up in the mountains, and there is a super chef.
Under the guidance of Zhao Zixian, with the help of everyone, a fragrant grilled fish lunch was freshly baked. Zhao Zixian also asked Lin Zhiyin to find some game seeds and eat them with grilled fish. Fresh, wild fish grilled on the outside is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aroma is overflowing, and the smell makes your mouth water. Coupled with the sweet and sour wild fruits, it can be described as a delicacy in the world.
"Boss, I have eaten a lot of grilled fish, but I have never eaten such delicious grilled fish." Erhan held the fish in one hand and the tail in the other, and said while gnawing.
Zhao Zixian was secretly happy in his heart, it is your blessing that you kid can eat the food I instructed. This grilled fish feast, if it is in Zhao's hot pot restaurant, it is not 100,000 but also 80,000, and it is now free of charge.
Lu Jie said while eating: "Boss, I'll be responsible for finding game on the way." Then the girl is responsible for doing it, okay? ”
"Okay, as long as you don't delay the trip, you can do whatever you want." Zhao Zixian nodded in agreement. In fact, he didn't want to eat those canned vegetarian food, and compressed biscuits or something.
The two brothers of the Lin family drank with oil all over their faces, with an innocent smile on their faces, and kept pouting.
The fish that was originally intended to be eaten for two meals was eaten by them in one meal.
"Actually, I haven't eaten yet!" Erhan said as he licked his fingers.
"There's an irrigation head in the bag, you eat first and we'll go later." Zhao Zixian believed it. He felt that Erhan's strength was so great, he must have eaten more than ordinary people, and seven or eight chopsticks and grilled fish were definitely not enough to eat.
Unexpectedly, Er Han shook his head like a rattle, waved his hand and said, "Don't eat it, keep your stomach for the night's meal." That stuff definitely doesn't taste good. "Erhan is not stupid, he is not full, but he still wants to eat delicious.
The crowd laughed, took a break and continued on their way. The whole afternoon was spent in joy without any danger. In the evening, they climbed to the top of the mountain.
At the top of the mountain, there happens to be a patch of relatively flat weedy of about dozens of square meters. The group set up camp and erected two tents.
Li Yucai stood at the highest place with Zhao Zixian in her arms, looked at the direction of the Li family's ancestral house, and said faintly: "You can still see the old house, so it seems that we haven't gone far." ”
Zhao Zixian smiled and nodded, "Yes." If we could drive, I think it would probably take less than an hour for us to get to our destination. If I had known, we would have gotten a real helicopter. Don't be so tired. ”
"It's been a long time since I've been so relaxed, so it's time to travel and camp." Li Yucai said with a smile. At the end of the day, there was food and drink, and she didn't feel tired at all.
But it hurt Zhao Zixian, he really couldn't stand such a rush, although he didn't have to walk by himself. He tilted his head to the west. I saw that the sunset had set in the west, and the sunset was red for half the sky. Although night has not fallen, the breath of night has been conveyed.
That's how it is in life, the one who stands on the high always sees the darkness last. The same is true of objective conditions, people who stand on high places always see the sunset later than those on the flat money. This is an axiom and a certainty, and it is so, and there is no explanation without explanation.
The sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk. This is a phrase that people often say, but Zhao Zixian doesn't think so. He felt that he had only experienced the morning sun and dusk, and that the brightest pearl in his life was at noon on the day, and he stepped into dusk without having the opportunity to see it.
People's psychological state changes not only because of age, but also because of their physical condition. It is often said that the patient's mind beast is always more fragile than a normal person, and this is the truth. But how can young people understand the mentality of the elderly. Just as young people can't understand young people's, there is a daigou among them.
As time passed, Zhao Zixian slowly discovered. There was a purchasing agent between him and Li Yucai. It is not a purchasing agent on the view of life in the present society, but a purchasing agent on the understanding of life.
Zhao Zixian couldn't help but be shocked, he never obeyed the old man. I finally realized that I was old, not physically, but mentally. For this reason, he was depressed for a long time, until it was dark and quiet.
"Are you tired?" After dinner, the black bitter girl got into the tent, lay on the ground with her hands on her cheeks, flashed her big and beautiful eyes, and asked.
Zhao Zixian suddenly had the illusion that his soul had been cleansed. He stretched out his hand and hugged the innocent black bitter girl into his arms, and asked, "Do you think I'm an old man who eats tender grass?" ”
"What do you mean?" The black bitter girl asked puzzled.
Li Yucai, who was standing on the side, said with a smile: "He is asking you, does anyone think he is old." Actually, I don't think a person's appearance matters. The important thing is whether he has a sense of responsibility and whether he can make the people who follow him feel safe. What do you think? "The last question was asked by looking at the black bitter girl.
The black bitter girl smiled, and the smile was full of flowers. She laughed and said, "I'm not as complicated as you are." In the past, the master was good to me, and I would read the master. The master is gone, the senior sister is good to me, and I will miss the senior sister. But now, my sister is taking advantage of me. You have been good to me, and I will remember you. My life is so simple. ”
After thinking about it, he said, "In my life before. To be happy is to be happy, and to be unhappy is to be unhappy. No, and don't know how to hide it. But since I met you, although I have been very happy, my heart is not happy. ”
There was a long silence and silence. It's not Zhao Zixian's, it's also Li Yucai's. They have lived in the modern metropolis for too long, they have long been accustomed to the environment in which they were born, but they have never thought about anything more. They all take their current environment for granted.
However, the next words of the black bitter girl made them feel embarrassed. She said, "The master told me on his deathbed. Sister, no matter where you are in the future. When you are in an unfamiliar environment, what you have to do is to familiarize yourself with that environment. Then learn to adapt to that environment. Eventually, adaptation becomes a habit. When you have the ability, change that environment and let it exist as you wish. I didn't understand it then, and I don't understand it now. But I thought of four words, 'Go with the flow.'"
Zhao Zixian nodded fiercely. The acquaintance between him and the black bitter girl is because of killing and being killed. But when they really got acquainted, they both chose unconditional trust. There is no emotional foundation between the two, but there is an inseparable friendship. At least so far, Black Bitter Girl hasn't turned his back on him because he's a bad old man.
Zhao Zixian's life is full of too many bizarre, too many common senses that cannot be explained. If you use the words of the black bitter girl, or the four words of her master, "be at peace with the encounter", everything is relieved.
Be at peace with what happens, they are currently sleeping in the wilderness, why not be a kind of peace with what they encounter.
But at their feet, something happened to the Li family's ancestral home. A twist they don't know about now, and resentful in a few days.
