"It's not a big deal," the old man still smiled, he turned his head to look at Su Jingchen, he was still hesitating to open the bamboo tube, obviously not coming out of the shadow that had just been taken down and burned.

"Isn't it a big deal?" Xie Chao was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, it's not a big deal, I'll just come to eat.

"A few days ago, my daughter had an illness," the old man said to himself, "it was nothing at first, but then the disease became more and more serious, and we asked the young people in the village to find a witch doctor in the big village, and the witch doctor couldn't see anything, so he prescribed two pairs of medicines and left......"

"So, you're going to let us see your daughter?" Xie Chao was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "Then you are looking for the wrong person, I will deal with the external injuries and it is okay, your daughter's illness is so mysterious, your witch doctors can't see it well, how can I see it well." ”

"Hey," the old man waved his hand and said with a smile, "No, no, no, you listen to me, but a few days ago, a man suddenly came to the village, he was wearing a cloak, and like you, he was also from Zhongzhou. ”

At this moment, Su Jingchen finally opened the bamboo tube, he sniffed it lightly, and then showed a happy expression, scooped a small spoonful with a wooden spoon, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

"Uh-huh! It's delicious," he looked up at Xie Chao and said, then turned his head to look at the old man, and didn't know how to speak, so he had to look at the bowl of wild vegetables in front of the old man and stared.

"Do you want this?" The old man held up the bowl of wild vegetables and asked in Yunzhou Yayan.

Su Jingchen didn't know what the old man said, just nodded vigorously.

The old man smiled and handed him the bowl of wild vegetables, and Su Jingchen said "thank you" in a blunt Yunzhou dialect.

"Also from Zhongzhou?" Xie Chao frowned, "He's only one person?" ”

The old man nodded, "Yes, there is only one person. ”

"What does he look like?" Xie Chao asked again.

"His face is angular, with some stubble, and he looks very manly," he said, and the old man involuntarily glanced at Xie Chao before he said, "He gives people a very cold feeling, but it makes people involuntarily close to him." ”

The corners of Xie Chao's mouth twitched, and his heart said What do you mean by this look, I know what I look like...... It's not handsome, but you don't have to look at me like that, do you?

Xie Chao pondered for a while and said, "I don't have any impression of this person, wait for me to ask Brother Su." ”

"Brother Su, do you know a man who is so handsome than me, wearing a black cloak, and feels very close."

Su Jingchen swallowed the food in his mouth and asked, "Zhongzhou people?" ”

"Yes."

"It's a ......shame to be more handsome than you," Su Jingchen looked up at Xie Chao's face, and said in his heart that he was afraid that he would not only be handsome, "But what you said, that person, I probably know." ”

"You know?"

"Well," Su Jingchen nodded, "The black cloak, handsome appearance, coupled with the natural closeness, I think, that person is probably Mr. Xie." ”

Xie Chao suddenly laughed, "It's me?" ”

Su was shocked and gave him a blank look. "Xie Anyuan, Mr. Xie, it's not you, it's the one who saved me."

"That guy," Xie Chao scratched his head, "I really want to see him." ”

"Why do you ask this?" Su Jingchen asked rhetorically.

"It's okay, it's okay, eat

Yours," Xie Chao turned to the old man again, "Brother Su knows that person and said that it should be the one who saved him." ”

The old man nodded, and said, "That's it." ”

The old man suddenly turned his head and looked around again, as if he was looking for something, "Is there still a little white leopard following you?" ”

Romance

"How do you know?" When the old man came, Xiaobai should have already left.

"The man told me that if it was him, he would have a small white leopard with him." The old man paused and asked, "But what about your little leopards?" ”

I can't tell you that little guy with no conscience has run away, can you? So Xie Chao smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm hungry, go to the forest to find something to eat." ”

"That's not right," Xie Chao suddenly said loudly, "After such a big detour, you still haven't told me what you're going to do." ”

"Didn't you just say it," the old man patted Xie Chao on the shoulder, "Young man, don't get excited." ”

"Actually, it was the man who saved my daughter's life who said that after a while, a young man, a man who looked very old, if nothing else, there would be a little white leopard coming to us, and he said, let's entertain you for one night, and then give you some food to carry around, and let me tell you, next, you need to go to the Nuyun Village on the Cloud Mountains, and find a man named 'Eagle' there."

"I'm also afraid that I will make a mistake and ruin the things that my benefactor told me, so I asked so many questions, don't mind."

"I wonder if there are no other Zhongzhou people besides us...... It's a small village in the middle of nowhere," Xie Chao pouted, "Then thank you for telling us the news." ”

"No, then you eat quickly, go back to rest early after eating, and I will prepare your food for you early tomorrow morning."

Xie Chao nodded, turned his head and said to Su Jingchen, "Hurry up and eat, let's go back and rest after eating." ”

"What's wrong?" Su Jingchen raised his head, and there was still a grain of white rice sticking to the corner of his mouth.

"Not much, hurry up and eat yours."

After a while, Xie Chao and Su Jingchen finished eating, and said goodbye to the two old men, the two old men sent them to the door with a smile, and the old woman also took Su Jingchen's hand and said a lot of words to him, Su Jingchen couldn't understand it, so he had to smile and keep nodding, seeing Su Jingchen nodding, the old woman smiled even more happily, and the old man and Xie Chao were also laughing from ear to ear.

"Lao Xie, what did that old woman tell me just now?" On the way back, Su Jingchen couldn't help but ask.

Xie Chao turned his head to look at Su Jingchen, and couldn't hold back his smile anymore, "People say, seeing that you look so good, do you want to be her godgranddaughter." ”

"Godgranddaughter?!" Su Jingchen couldn't help laughing, "It seems that you can't just nod your head in the future." ”

......

In the evening, the torrential rain finally fell.

The rain crackled on the eaves and trees, and soon the rain on the ground merged into a stream, and then flowed away through the gaps between the stones, and the shadows of the trees shook outside the window, and the wind slammed the door.

Xiaobai hasn't come back yet.

Su Jingchen left a gap for them, and because of this, the wind continued to bring needle-like rain into the house, Xie Chao scolded and scolded, but he still didn't close the door, just sat by the fire, humming two Yunzhou ballads from time to time.

Su Jingchen stood at the door, holding his hand against the door so that it would not be directly knocked open by the wind.

"It's time to come back, right?" Su Jingchen muttered.

"Let's almost go to sleep," Xie Chao turned his head and glanced at Su Jingchen, who looked like a little daughter-in-law waiting for his sweetheart to return, "If it doesn't rain tomorrow morning, I have to hurry." ”

"I'll wait a little longer." Su Jingchen didn't look back.

"Then it's up to you."

As soon as the words fell, a white figure suddenly appeared on the side of the door.

It's Xiaobai, he still has a gray rabbit in his mouth, and he doesn't know how it picked up a rabbit that was about the same size as himself and ran so far, its fur was wet with rain, and its limbs were also stained with mud, but it raised its head proudly, as if it was showing off something to Su Jingchen.

"It's back," Su Jingchen opened the door, let Xiaobai walk in, and then closed the door, then squatted down and touched its little head, and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Xie Chao turned around and couldn't help but exclaim, "Ouch, this little guy, is this bringing us dinner?" ”

"Isn't it?" Su Jingchen looked at Xiaobai with a smile, like a kind old father looking at his filial son.

"Bring the rabbit, I'll deal with it first," Xie Chao walked over, squatted in front of Xiaobai, and stretched out his hand.

But Xiaobai didn't move, it seemed that he didn't want to pay attention to Xie Chao, so Su Jingchen had to squat down and talk about it, so that Xiaobai was relieved.

At the time of half a pillar of incense, Xie Chao finished processing the rabbit, skewered it with a wooden stick, and roasted it directly on the fire.

And Xiaobai shook off the water on his body, and after taking the fire test with the two of them, he turned into Su Jingchen's arms and fell asleep deeply, it seems that he is really tired in order to catch this rabbit.

"Lao Xie, what did that old man say today?" Su Jingchen suddenly asked.

"Ah, I was about to tell you," Xie Chao gently turned the wooden stick on the fire, looking at the oil bubbling out of the rabbit, and saliva hung on his mouth unconsciously, "The old man said, Mr. Xie who saved you, leave a message for us, let us go to a village called Nuyun Village on the other side of the Yunhao Mountain Range, they will prepare food for us early tomorrow morning, so we will have a good rest tonight, and if it doesn't rain tomorrow morning, we will leave directly." ”

"What Mr. Xie said?" Su Jingchen frowned, and asked again, "Did Mr. Xie say why did you let us go to Nuyun Village?" ”

"Go find a man named 'Eagle,'" Xie Chao said, touching his chin, "I'm afraid I'm going to ask that person to give you something." ”

Su Jingchen nodded and did not speak again.

"Okay!" Xie Chao suddenly laughed, "Roast rabbit meat, okay!" ”

As he spoke, Xie Chao tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to Su Jingchen, "Come and taste it!" My way of roasting rabbits is a must! ”

......

After eating the roast rabbit meat, the two finally fell asleep by the fire.

Hundreds of miles away, in the Yunhao Mountains, a group of people also sat around the fire, eating roasted rabbit head meat, drinking freshly brewed snow wine, and talking and laughing loudly.

"When was the last time we saw you?" A man drank all the wine in his glass, laughed and said, "This parting, it's been more than ten years, right?" ”

"It's been eleven years," the other man was not as heroic as the man just now, but just took a small sip of wine, "I came this time to ask you for something." ”
