When the old man saw Gai Yan, he immediately became vigilant, and the old woman looked at the old man and said, "I'm back." ”

Immediately, she looked at Gai Yan and said, "This is my wife!"

He looked at the old man again, pointed at Gai Yan, and said, "This child, passing by us, begged me for food!"

Hearing that Gai Yan was not a wicked person, the old man relaxed his vigilance.

Gai Yan arched his hand towards the old man and said, "Old man, I'm sorry for making you frightened!"

"Haha," said the old man with a smile, "don't say it, your appearance does make me a little worried." ”

Gai Yan scratched his head, and the old man walked in, shook the two rabbits in front of the old woman, and said with a smile: "There is something delicious today! And the fur can be sold for some money!"

The old woman smiled and nodded. Gai Yan bowed to the second elder and said, "Don't thank you for your kindness, the junior has taken his leave!"

After speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave. Then the old man asked, "Do you have a place to stay at night?"

Gai Yan stopped, shook his head, and said, "I haven't found it yet, but it doesn't matter, I'll go up the mountain and find a place to sleep in a while!"

The old man saw that Gai Yan answered loyally and was quite simple in his words, so he said: "If you don't dislike it, stay at my house for a night, anyway, we are the two of us in the family!"

When he heard that the old man was going to keep him staying, this made him feel even more embarrassed, and he bowed deeply to the second elder at the moment, and said: "Thank you two for your kindness, I have just eaten and drunk for nothing and have caused you trouble, I will not live with you, so I will not live with you, so I will not cause you more trouble." You don't have to worry about me, it's okay, I'm used to spending the night on the mountain!

Hearing this, the old man guessed Gai Yan's thoughts, which was quite surprising. He didn't expect the fierce and vicious looking young man in front of him to be so mellow and honest, and then said: "Don't worry, if you feel that you don't feel at ease to eat for nothing...... In this way, our old couple has no children and no daughters, and it is inconvenient to go up the mountain to chop firewood when we are old, so you go up the mountain to chop some firewood as your food and accommodation money. ”

Hearing the old man's request, Gai Yan couldn't help laughing, he nodded boldly, and said, "Okay, I'll go now!"

With that, he turned around and was about to go up the mountain.

"Hey, wait!" the old man called out to Gai Yan, took a machete for chopping wood, and handed it to Gai Yan, "The mountain road is not easy to walk, be careful." ”

"Okay, you two are waiting!" Gai Yan said and strode up the mountain.

He was tall enough and walked big enough to soon reach the mountain. Although I don't know what the name of the mountain here is, Gai Yan can feel that the mountain here is very different from the Ziyun Mountain at home, and there are obviously many more animals here than Ziyun Mountain, and they are fat and strong, which is very gratifying. With his ability to hunt in the mountains in the early years, Gai Yan soon caught a wild boar and a few hares, and used a machete to cut firewood enough for a hill. He tied the firewood with vines, carried it on his shoulders along with the prey, and strode down the hill, and in a short time he entered the village.

Since it was just the beginning of the day when Gai Yan entered the village before, the villagers were all working outside and did not meet anyone, and when Gai Yan came back from chopping firewood and hunting, it was already unitary time, and the villagers also went home one after another to eat and rest.

He walked all the way swaggeringly, and just happened to meet the villagers who came back, and when he saw Gai Yan carrying firewood and prey like a hill, the villagers were dumbfounded, and they had the courage to come forward and ask: "Little brother, your strength is really great, where are you?

Gai Yan pointed to the old man's home, and replied with a smile: "I'm not from here, I found this place all the way from Ziyun Mountain looking for my brother, and it was the old man in front of me who took me in here for a night." ”

The villager suddenly realized: "Oh, why haven't I seen you before!"

Gai Yan nodded at the villagers in a friendly manner, then carried these things, and in the eyes of everyone who were surprised and envious, came to the door of the old man's house, and shouted, "Old man, I'm back!"

He had a loud voice, and he was so eye-catching that many villagers who were good at it came to watch. When Gai Yan put the hill-like firewood and the prey he had brought back into the courtyard, the old man was also stunned, he looked at Gai Yan in disbelief, and asked, "All this firewood and prey were all you got on the mountain just now?"

Gai Yan smiled and nodded, and the old man patted Gai Yan's shoulder happily, and exclaimed sincerely: "Young man, you are so powerful! Not to mention these prey you have hit, this firewood alone is enough to sell for a lot of money! This is obviously that we have taken advantage of you." We don't need so much, you can leave some firewood for our old couple, and you can go to the town to sell the rest and keep it for coiling. ”

Gai Yan shook his head and said, "Old man, what you say, these are all for your second elder, these things are nothing compared to grandma's kindness to me." ”

At this time, a villager said: "Uncle Wu, you can accept it when you are old, I think this little brother is a real person." ”

The villagers on the side also chimed in: "Yes, Uncle Wu, this is your kindness and good reward! Take it, otherwise the little brother will be embarrassed!"

Gaiyan nodded.

Seeing this, the old man no longer shirked, and hurriedly said: "Okay, then I won't be polite to you, come, come into the house and drink some water, rest, and ask your grandmother to make you something to eat in a while." ”

After that, the old man looked at the onlookers and said, "Everyone should go home to eat, go home to eat, should rest and go home to rest, tomorrow kill this wild boar, and everyone will come to eat!"

Hearing this, the village names all cheered happily and left one after another.

After Gai Yan put the mountain of firewood and put it in the place where it should be, he and the old man went into the house to sit down and chat. The old man liked this honest young man from the bottom of his heart, so he poured a glass of water for Gai Yan and asked, "Child, rest for a while, my wife is cooking, and we will eat later!"

Gai Yan took the water and replied frankly: "I have been looking for people along the way from the Ziyun Mountain of Cangyuan City in the north and found this place!"

The old man shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of this place. ”

Gai Yan took a sip of water and replied, "That place is far away, and I walked for about two months to get here. ”

The old man nodded, and asked curiously, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for my brother!" Thinking of Feng Chen, a touch of sadness appeared on Gai Yan's face.
