Chapter 1: The Mysterious Visitor
It's late autumn, but the sun is still shining as usual in this place, and the scenery is pleasant, and it is also a famous holy place.
The little beggar walked up his dirty outfit with a shy smile on his face, and walked to the familiar stall again.
"Aunt Wang, how are you selling this fruit today?"
Aunt Wang glanced at him, "You want to come to me again to beg for food, take it, don't delay my business." ”
The boy took the few fruits she had handed and went away satisfied. On this street, who doesn't know that Aunt Wang is kind-hearted, although she is ruthless, she often sends mercy to the poor on the street, and after a long time, everyone respects her. Although they are a little skinny, they are life-saving benefactors after all, and they are naturally concerned in their hearts.
Aunt Wang follows her husband's family name, no one knows her real name, and she has never seen her leave here to go back to her parents' house, after all, she is married to a scoundrel, and she doesn't work, so she relies on her aunt to grow vegetables and pick fruits to subsidize the family.
Maybe it's because the men in her family have done a lot of mischief, and the two have a daughter, who is beautiful and beautiful, but I heard that she is suffering from a serious illness, and she is bedridden just after a few years, and she has not improved after a few years of looking for good doctors, and then her heart died, thinking that she could live longer, and when the time comes, she can also give the girl a funeral, and she is satisfied.
"Brother Li, give you one, you keep it. ”
The little beggar who had just returned from Aunt Wang's gave the fruit to the person named Brother Li, and when he saw that he was still asleep motionless, he couldn't help but step forward and shake him a few times, "This ...... It's all three poles now, Brother Li, why are you still sleeping?"
After persuading him for a long time, he didn't move, and the little beggar stopped clinging, brushed the ashes on the wild fruit in his hand with his tattered sleeves, and ate it by himself while chatting with the brothers on the side.
If you want to talk about this Brother Li, they don't know what his origin is, he just looked embarrassed when he came, and everyone who saw it felt that it was a broken house, so they didn't hesitate to give him a straw mat and let him sleep.
But he was not as rough as other beggars, just looking at his face, he really looked like the son of a rich and noble family, carrying a basket on his back, in which there was nothing but some flowers and plants. If it is Brother Gongzi, I am afraid that someone has already come to look for him. I'm afraid this man is just a poor ghost who looks a little better.
"You said, when Brother Li first came, he was still willing to say a few words, why is it that the longer this time, the longer he sleeps?"
"Hey, if you want me to say, he is not the same person as us, who of you knows what the origin of the people is......? Don't dig out your heart and lungs for this kind of person of unknown origin, how can he be reliable as our brother who has been together for so long. Give him something to eat and a place to sleep, and we can count on him as worthy of him. ”
The sound of chirping woke up the sleeping man, I have to say, this is really a good place for self-cultivation, he opened his eyes, listened to the conversation of the people around him, smiled lightly and fell asleep again.
The people here don't know his identity and origin, so it's good, don't bother to hide it, he was kicked by a horse on the road before, he fell off the cliff with the momentum, and he became this ghost without thinking, tattered, and few people were suspicious of him.
I heard that there is no wind or rain here all year round, and the environment is excellent. There are swallowtails on the mountain that do not grow anywhere else, and they have a miraculous effect on eye diseases. This swallowtail flower, he had only seen it in ancient books before, and he traveled all the way, and only then did he know from passers-by that there really was something in this world.
It's just that it's true or not, he still has to look at it before he can be sure.
It is true that the sun is three poles, he slept for a while, and he was really dishonest by the sun, these days in a hurry, and suffered some small injuries, the vitality was damaged, and the rest time was naturally longer, and he was too lazy to pay attention to those vulgar people, but the little beggar was still very pleased with him. He thought about it, and when he found the medicine he was looking for, he went to ask the little beggar, but he was willing to leave here with him, and go with him to learn medicine to save the world.
Stretching, he stood up, and looked around, this place is indeed very dilapidated, but the green bricks and blue tiles also have a pleasant scenery.
"Hey. ”
He looked relaxed, and when he slept enough, he was really comfortable, and he reached out and patted the little beggar on the back, "Take me up the mountain." ”
Mountain?
The little beggar was stunned, not knowing what Brother Li was talking about.
"There are many slippery and dangerous roads on the mountain, and there are often wild monsters haunting, what do you have to do with him as a child?" someone behind the little beggar spoke up, disapproving, "If you really want to go up the mountain, go ahead, there is a lady selling wild fruits not far away, she walks on the mountain all the year round, and is familiar with the mountain road, you go to find her." ”
He chuckled, the road is slippery and dangerous, and wild monsters are infested, what is it to him? He has been practicing immortal arts since he was a child, so what is there to be afraid of those things.
"I'm just asking his opinion, when did I ask you, little beggar, would you like to come with me?"
His eyes were sincere, and he couldn't see the slightest deception, but here, except for a few brothers who slept together every day from birth to death, the little beggar really didn't dare to trust others easily.
After hesitating for a moment, the little beggar shook his head.
It seems that there is no chance, so don't force it.
Master once said that if you go south, keep walking, and you will meet someone who is destined. Along the way, this is the southern end. The destined person that Master said must be here. It's just that now it seems that it's not this little beggar, and he needs to find it again.
He flicked his sleeves and looked back, "Brother Li is my name casually, my name is Yunyou." If there is any problem with me in the future, if you come to me with this name, it will be regarded as a thank you for taking care of me in the past few days. ”
As soon as the words fell, he disappeared from everyone's eyes.
"I'll just say, this man is certainly not simple...... I would have been nicer to him if I had known......"
"When did you say it, it's not simple, maybe it's a demon with bad intentions?"
Everyone, you and I are talking in a good way, but the little beggar's heart is full of turmoil, and he always feels that he has lost something. But when you look further ahead, you can only see the streets that are still thriving in the daylight, and the passers-by who are shouting for business. I'm afraid Mr. Yunyou will never be able to find it again.
"Boy, you don't have anything in your hand, why did you rush to this mountain?"
Yun You was walking when he suddenly heard someone calling out to him behind him.
He stopped, looked back, looked a little familiar, and thought for a moment, that person was the eldest lady that the beggars had pointed out to him just now.
"Auntie, I have just come here, and I haven't rested yet, and I think this place is very novel, so I want to come here to walk around, which can be regarded as a long insight. ”
"Long insight, you must not go to this mountain, I was frightened by the spiritual creatures on the mountain in the early years, and now I often go, they recognize me, so they didn't hurt me, the whole Qingshui people know that the mountain is often haunted, even during the day, there are people who never go back, I advise you not to go in, otherwise, if you don't even have a chance to call for help, then what can I do." ”
"Then why do you want to go if you say it's haunted?"
Aunt Wang sighed, "It's not that the family is struggling to make a living, it's all up to me to support it alone, so I moved God, God blessed me, so that I could go up the mountain safely and soundly to pick some wild fruits that everyone loves to eat, otherwise without this fruit, the family would be gone." ”
"Auntie, it's also hard...... But I see that there are only some grass, trees, snakes and beasts on this mountain, how can there be ghosts, you might as well take me up today, and see if the rumors in the town are true or false. ”
"You...... Are you really not afraid?"
Aunt Wang's eyes revealed disbelief, although this kid looked handsome, how could he have such courage and not be afraid of losing his life?
"I'll tell you the truth, I'm here to find the swallowtail flowers on the mountain. I searched all over the five continents and ten countries, and I only heard that there was here, and this alone must not be an ordinary place. ”
Seeing what he said lightly, Aunt Wang blinked her eyes and frowned, "I don't think you should be like us ordinary people, Xu is an immortal chief, how many people have offended, I hope Mr. will not blame...... It's just that I haven't seen this swallowtail either, and I don't know about it...... I took my husband up the mountain, and life and death depend on my husband himself......"
Yun You bowed his head, smiled slightly, turned around and followed Aunt Wang up the mountain.
"Here, the road is slippery, I hope Mr. will be more careful. ”
It's also strange to say, Qingshui is really not like other countries, and I can't find a reason to explain why it rarely rains, but this mountain is still wet, and it's really interesting.
There is a lot of water on the mountain path, and there is moss growing in many places, and only a small square in the middle has been stepped on the footprints, which should be proof that Aunt Wang has been going up the mountain all year round. Yun You looked, there were wild beasts around from time to time, and it seemed that he had seen a tiger just now, but it didn't come out to hurt people.
"By the way, auntie, don't you have any children under your knees? I see that you are not young, why don't you rest at home?"
Wandering on the road was boring, so he pulled a leaf, and chatted with Aunt Wang without a match.
"Alas, sir, I'm not afraid to tell you that I have a daughter in my family, but I have been seriously ill since I was ...... years."
She said, a little choked up between her words, but Yun You became interested, "It just so happens that I have been practicing medicine for many years, if the eldest lady doesn't dislike it, let me go to see your young lady, maybe I still have some methods." ”
When Aunt Wang heard this, she didn't go up anymore, her eyes were full of tears when she looked at Yunyou, and she knelt down directly regardless of whether the ground was dirty or not, "It's really God's eyes, this can make me meet a miracle doctor, if Mr. can really save the little girl, the bones of the old body will be sent by Mr." ”
"This is serious, auntie, get up quickly. ”
Yunyou stretched out his hand to help her, "It is the duty of a doctor to cure diseases and save people, besides, auntie, you are kind-hearted and willing to help me, although my medical skills are ugly, I will definitely treat your girl well." But I'm sorry you to continue to lead the way and lead me to the miracle medicine. ”
