Chapter 195: Meet the Hermit
Although the wolf dog saw the little master, he barked at Jiang Zhongshi non-stop, and after the little boy shouted again and again, he barely obeyed and stopped barking. www.biquge.info The little boy turned around and rushed to Xing'er with a smile on his face, showing two deep dimples on his cheeks, and replied frankly and innocently: "Yes, there is our family living in a radius of more than ten miles around here." A few of you, it's getting dark, and you still have to go up the mountain, aren't you afraid of being eaten by tigers, leopards, wolves and insects on the mountain? ”
Seeing that he was defenseless against strangers, and his mind was simple and clean, Lai Xing'er couldn't help but feel close to this little boy, and asked with a smile, "What's your name?" Where are the adults in the family? Lead us to him? ”
Not wanting the little boy to listen to his question, he took a few steps back, put his two little hands in front of his chest, and responded vigilantly: "What are you asking for?" My aunt has never seen anyone except to see the wounds and heal the sick, and if you don't listen to persuasion, you want to go up the mountain to die, so go away. Tomorrow, I'll take Xiao Huang to collect your body, so you don't have to go to my house. ”
Lao Huang walked at the end, and when he heard the little boy screaming one after another, he was angry, so he shouted loudly: "Where did the wild child run out, he spoke so obscurously, take us to meet your family." ”
At this time, the little boy found that Jiang Zhongshi was carrying on his shoulder like a dead man, and he replied unceremoniously: "Bah, I don't think you are a good person, you must have injured people at the bottom of the mountain, and rushed up the mountain to destroy the corpse." Master might as well tell you that there are all kinds of man-eating beasts on this mountain, but I am afraid that by dawn tomorrow, it will be difficult for you to fall even a whole corpse. ”
Jiang Zhongshi couldn't help but be annoyed when he heard that the child was becoming more and more arrogant, and rushed towards the little boy with a big stride, shouting in his mouth: "Boy, come on, come on, accompany my brother to go up the mountain for a walk, so that you can see your brother's skills." ”
He was already burly, and at this time, he carried a corpse on his shoulder, and ran straight towards the little boy, so frightened that the little boy let out a scream, turned around and ran. Jiang Zhongshi was annoyed that he was not inferior in his mouth, cursed himself, and chased after him. Lai Xing'er was afraid that Jiang Zhongshi would be annoyed, so he injured the little boy and rushed over behind. Only Lao Huang, seeing that Lai Xing'er and Jiang Zhongshi were busy chasing the little boy, he couldn't take care of himself, turned around and prepared to go down the mountain, and returned to Chang'an with the sika deer in his hand, and walked a few steps, and felt that it was inappropriate, he was worried that Jiang Zhongshi could also send him more valuable birds and beasts to pay for the car, and secondly, he was also worried that he would sneak away quietly without saying hello, in case he bumped into Lai and Jiang in Chang'an in the future, it was not easy to talk, so after hesitating for a moment, he finally rushed to the direction that Lai Xing'er and others were chasing.
The little boy walked swiftly around Yangtian Pond, climbed straight up a path between the trees, turned a bend at a mountain beam, and disappeared in a flash. Jiang Zhongshi was originally an old man who crawled in the mountains and forests, but today he was carrying Xin Twelve Niang on his shoulders, and his feet were inevitably a little heavy. The two men walked side by side over the mountain beam, and couldn't help but be stunned by the scene in front of them.
It was already winter, but behind a small mountain beam, there was a scene of spring: a clear stream flowed around a field of green wheat, the banks of the stream were full of colorful flowers, and on the other side of the field stood a courtyard covered with green vines, and the big wolf dog, called Little Yellow by the little boy, was standing majestically in front of the courtyard gate, looking vigilantly in the direction where Lai Xing'er and Jiang Zhongshi stood.
Seeing that the little boy ran home, Lai Xing'er was worried that the corpse Jiang Zhongshi was carrying on his shoulders would scare the owner, so he motioned Jiang Zhongshi to stay by the mountain beam and wait for a while, and walked alone towards the courtyard door.
As soon as Xiao Huang saw Lai Xing'er coming over, he immediately screamed and rushed towards Lai Xing'er. Lai Xing'er dodged lightly to avoid this pounce, and raised his voice and shouted into the courtyard: "Xing'er and the other three people have rushed to the treasure land from Chang'an, and they want to see the master of your courtyard." ”
The little yellow head fluttered into the air, and he was unwilling, so he turned around and opened his mouth and pounced on Xiang Xing'er again.
"Xiao Huang, don't be rude to guests!" A middle-aged woman's voice came from the courtyard, and when Xiao Huang heard this voice, he became much more well-behaved, wagged his tail, and ran back to the courtyard with joy.
Lai Xing'er had just heard the little boy talk about his grandmother, and at this time, listening to the tone of the speaker in the courtyard, he knew that the owner of this courtyard had come out, so he raised his hand and straightened his clothes, and stood solemnly in front of the door waiting for the master to go out.
The first one to walk out of the courtyard gate was still the little boy, as soon as he saw that there was only Lai Xing'er standing outside the courtyard gate, and there was no strong young man with a dead body on his shoulder, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and shouted into the courtyard: "Mother, this person standing outside the door is quite kind, and he doesn't look like a villain......
Before he finished speaking, he heard his mother say, "You are a little ghost, you are so young, you can tell how good a person is by your appearance alone?" I'm afraid you'll have to learn your father's art of being a good person for a few years. ”
Lai Xing'er followed the sound and saw a middle-aged woman in a Taoist robe walking out of the courtyard. When she saw Lai Xing'er at first glance, the smile on her face couldn't help but froze, and she secretly praised herself: "This son is extraordinary." Thinking so in his heart, he came to Lai Xing'er, raised his palm, and rushed to Lai Xing'er and said, "The guest came here from Chang'an, I don't know what happened?" ”
Lai Xing'er saw that this woman was wearing a gray and white robe, but it was still difficult to hide her graceful and luxurious temperament, and she heard the little boy call her aunt again and again, and couldn't help but guess in her heart: This woman must be a lady who is a halfway monk, but I don't know why she wants to live in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain? Since he left the stable two years ago, he has accumulated some experience over the years, and he can see the general idea at a glance.
"Chang'an fell into the hands of the Tubo people not long ago, have you ever heard of it?"
This woman is both a mother and wearing a Taoist robe, and Lai Xing'er didn't know whether to call her Mrs. or Taoist for a while, so she used a compromise title.
When the woman heard that Xing'er was talking about current affairs, her eyes flashed, her face was gloomy, and she replied coldly: "The monks only ask about earthly affairs, and the guests only need to explain their intentions, and there is no need to say anything else. ”
Lai Xing'er glanced back at Jiang Zhongshi, who was still standing on the other side of the wheat field, and said calmly: "I have no intention of disturbing the Venerable Master with the mundane affairs of the world, but this matter is closely related to the purpose of the three people who came to the treasure land, so I have to mention one or two first. Don't hide from the master that he came here to fulfill a long-cherished wish for a friend who had just passed away. (To be continued.) )
