Chapter 2: The Old Man

After Li Ersil climbed this steep snow-capped mountain, he climbed over the top of the mountain halfway up the mountain on the other side, near the cliff, and finally saw a small thatched house.

This thatched house is very dilapidated, separated by several wooden planks, forming a house wall, and small branches are inserted around the four sides to form a courtyard wall.

If it weren't for the existence of such a magical thing as "qi" in this world, and I would be one of the beneficiaries of this thing. Li Ersil didn't even dare to imagine how the people in such a humble house survived one winter after another.

Not to mention the cold and biting wind and snow, even the beasts that roam in the depths of this mountain from time to time can easily destroy this place.

Li Ersil looked at this humble hut, hesitated for a moment, and sighed. Diameter walked up to the dilapidated door and patted it two or three times: "Is the old man there?" ”

Yes, on the top of this high mountain, away from the crowds. In this small house, where there are extremely leaks and leaks everywhere, lives an old man.

"Little monsters? Are you here? Almost at the same time as Li Erdu's voice fell, the door was opened heavily and hit the wooden board in the house, shaking the roof and falling a lot of snow.

The one who opened the door was a man with white hair~ Let's call him an old man, I saw that he was sturdy, childish, bright-eyed, handsome, and abnormally handsome.

If it weren't for the messy hair and dirty clothes on his body, I am afraid that this would be a fairy figure.

"You didn't come up to play with me for so long, I thought you forgot about me. Even Xiaoshuai said that he missed you! The old man pulled Li Ersil and walked into the house, this fairy-like character said so naΓ―ve.

Li Ersil didn't know who this old man was, he only knew that after he crossed over, the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was this old man.

At that time, he was also like this, and now more than ten years have passed, and the years seem to stay on his face and have not passed.

"Don't be in a hurry to play yet, I came up to you this time to find you something." Li Ersil let the old man pull him into the house, came to the bed and sat down, picked up the ferret lying in front of the bed, and rubbed it for a while.

At the same time, he hurriedly refused the invitation of the old man to play together, and at the same time diverted the topic.

This ferret is the little handsome that the old man said, the old man seems to be able to understand the language of the beast, and it is this ferret that accompanies the old man in ordinary times.

For the old man, jumping down from this cliff, falling a distance of hundreds of meters, smashing on the snow, rolling all the way into a snow ball, and finally stopping somewhere in the valley below the mountain, is a way to play.

In the midst of these mountains, finding a steep mountain, roaring, causing an avalanche, and running wildly to escape in the avalanche is also a way to play.

In short, for this old man, nothing is interesting and fun, none of them are normal, and if they are a little more normal, I am afraid that they will have a fight with Li Erdu.

"What's the matter? Did you encounter any difficulties? Suddenly, the old man's tone of voice changed, and he became extremely normal.

"Old man, are you awake?" Li Ersil sighed that he was lucky, and at the same time sighed that he was in a catastrophe, ten times he came up, this old man had nine times Yes, he looked like a confused old child, and it was rare to meet him once when he was sober.

When the old man is sober, of course, it is much more reliable to talk about business. But at the same time, it is difficult to refuse his request to "play" with him.

"Hmmm! It's almost there. "The old man after waking up looks very solemn, but he doesn't like to talk so much.

"My eldest brother has a crush on a woman, and he is going to propose marriage in the next few days. But ......" said and reacted.

"You're getting better, you're getting better?" Li Er asked stupidly and hurriedly, for decades, as soon as he asked the old man about the past, the old man would get sick and become an old child with only an eight-year-old IQ.

"You're fifteen, aren't you?" The old man didn't pay attention to Li Ersil at all, and asked himself.

"Well, in four months, I'll be an adult." Li Ersil nodded, but what he thought in his heart was: "I can finally get rid of the names of these two fools." ”

"No, I'm talking about my eldest brother, he's going to propose, but my family ...... Old man, did you listen to me, aren't you stupid again? ”

Li Er said to himself stupidly, but saw that the old man seemed to be in a daze, muttering to himself, and did not listen to his words at all, so he reached out and gently pushed him.

"There are still four months to go......" The old man muttered to himself, feeling that someone was pushing him, and looked back at Li Erdu.

"I know, you're ready to prepare, I'll take you away for a few years." The old man reached out and grabbed Li Ersil's back collar, lifted him up, and walked out the door.

When he came to the open space outside the house, he threw Li Ersil out with a flick of his hand, Li Ersil turned over and landed safely, and then turned around and fled, and at the same time did not forget to ask:

"Where are you going? Stop, let's finish talking before we start. Damn, the tiger doesn't threaten you, I'm a sick cat! Ada ~ "......

When I got home again, it was already ten in the middle of the night, Li Ersilly hunched his back, lame, with one hand on his waist, and the other hand on his chest and rubbing vigorously.

His face was full of pain, and he scolded and said, "Damn! The old man's hands are getting heavier and heavier, and he hurts Lao Tzu to death. ”

After Li Ersil returned home, he smashed himself on the cold kang, thinking in his mind, where was the old man going to take him? I fell asleep thinking about it.

What Li Gui said last night about taking Li Ersil up the mountain to hunt was of course a joke. In this era of deep superstition, women and underage children were not allowed to enter the mountains.

It's not that they're too weak to hunt, it's just that women and children entering the mountains is blasphemy against the mountain gods.

Li Ersil is as strong as an ox, and he is not afraid of the cold, so it stands to reason that he is definitely a good hunter.

But because of this feudal superstition, the whole family was hungry, and Li Erfool couldn't go into the mountains to hunt.

As a modern person, Li Ersil can understand the reason why women and children, a vulnerable group, cannot enter such a dangerous place as the deep mountains.

But Li Ersil couldn't accept this superstition, he was obviously only four months away from adulthood, his body was as strong as an ox, and because of the exercises taught by the old man, his strength was not small.

He no longer belongs to the disadvantaged group, he has the strength and ability to go into the mountains to hunt, but because of this feudal superstition, he has to make it difficult for his family to live......

Li Ersil didn't know if the old man was sick again, for two days in a row, let alone the prey he was asked to shoot, he didn't even see a figure.

Li Gui and others all knew about the existence of the old man, and when there was a famine at home in previous years, the old man had helped more than once.

It's just that the old man often gets sick, and Li Ersil is not sure whether he will go hunting, so he didn't mention this stubble.

In the past two days, although Li Gui did not go to the mountains as he said, he came back much later than usual.
