Chapter 181: Splitting Mountains and Opening the Road
I looked by the faint candlelight, and saw that I had tripped over two wooden shelves, and that my head was hanging from a net used to cover chickens, and when I looked further, I could not help gasping for a long plank with many nails nailed upside down, all with the tips pointing upwards and shining.
I thought to myself, "If I step on this, I'm afraid my feet will suffer." ”
"What are you doing, old man?" I angrily shook off the old man's hand, then got up from the ground and said, "What are these obstacles? ”
"It's not all about preventing ... As soon as the old man said this, the old lady hurriedly took over the conversation: "These are all for the purpose of preventing thieves." ”
"Yes... Anti-thief. The old man also said, "By the way, boy, where are you going in such a hurry?"
"I was just going out for a walk, but I didn't expect to fall for your old man's trap. I laughed.
When the old man heard this, he grabbed me by the arm and said, "Now that you are about to have breakfast, where are you going? ”
In this way, I was dragged back into the house by the old man, and I suddenly felt like I was under house arrest.
I whispered to Yumei: "How do I think this old couple doesn't look like good people, or why don't you see me so closely?"
"How come?" Sister Yu immediately retorted: "You see that they are kind and kind, and they give us sweet potatoes to eat, have you forgotten?"
As soon as I heard it, I was speechless, knowing that Sister Yu had been bought by their sweet potatoes.
After a while, the sky was already bright, and the old couple set the table, served the meal, and beckoned me and Sister Yu to come and eat.
Yumei didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and went straight to the sweet potato. I was holding the rice bowl, but I had no appetite because I began to wonder the old couple: "Although it is not a big deal for me to open a mountain and carve a way, is this old couple really good people?"
"Boy, why don't you eat? Is it because the food doesn't fit?" asked the old man.
"Not really. I had to pick up the bowl and barely eat two bites.
"That's right, when you're full, I'll follow our old man to open up the mountain later. That's what you promised us, boy. The old lady said too.
Hearing this, I finally figured out that the many organs in the field were set up to prevent me from escaping.
"Old man, aren't you waiting for your children and grandchildren to open up a mountain and a road?" I asked.
When the old man heard this, he immediately reached out and grabbed my arm and said, "Boy, you promised to help me open the way for the mountains, but you can't talk about it! ”
As soon as I heard that it was still a matter of opening up a mountain and opening a road, I couldn't help but let go of my heart, and I said to the old man: "Old man, don't worry, I will definitely help you open up this cloud mountain and open up a road." ”
"What? are you telling the truth?" the old man's eyes widened.
"I mean what I say. I patted my chest and said.
"Wife, go get a pen and paper. The old man commanded excitedly.
"What are you doing with pen and paper?" the old lady didn't understand.
"I want this kid to set up a note for us, and we didn't force him, he himself will help us open up the mountain and pave the way for the rest of his life. The old man said excitedly.
"Not a lifetime, one day is enough. I said.
"What are you talking about?" the old man's eyes widened again.
"That's right, when my lover brother is full, he will open a way for you. Yumei also said with confidence.
"Well, you can eat. Then the old man took the old lady and went into the back room, and I heard them whisper, "Old man, do you think that the boy can make a way in a day?"
"He's stupid, you're stupid," the old man said, "Don't say it's a day, even if it's a lifetime, how can a person get through this cloud mountain and carve out a way?"
"It's still a nervous problem to say that. ”
"Yes, the nerves are not normal. They agreed, and then came out of the back room again.
When the old man saw that I had wiped my mouth and had finished eating, he said to me, "Boy, have you finished eating?"
"Ah, I've finished eating. I said.
"Are you full, then?" he asked again.
"I'm full. I said again.
"Alright, let's go and open the way. The old man went to get his kit.
"No need, old man, I'll just go alone. I stood up and said.
"You're going alone?" the old man looked skeptical again.
"yes. I said.
"No!" the old man shook his head resolutely, "what if you don't keep your word and run away?"
"How could I have escaped?" I said anxiously, "I am heavenly... ”
"Crazy again," said the old man, who took me by the arm again, "and I will not worry that you will go out alone." ”
I was made to laugh and cry by this old man, and suddenly, I saw Sister Yu, so I pointed at Sister Yu and said to the old couple, "Do you see? She is my wife, and I can't keep my wife with you?"
When the old man heard this, he exchanged glances with the old lady and said, "Okay, yes, but is it really okay for you to go alone?"
"Be relieved. I said.
"Wait a minute," Sister Yu found out about the problem, so she said, "Brother Qingtian, how can you bet me on them?"
I walked over and held Sister Yu's hand and said, "Sister Yu, don't worry, I'll go back as soon as I go, and it won't take me long before I take you out of here." ”
"Okay, Brother Qingtian, then you can go. Sister Yu also agreed.
I turned and walked out.
"Boy, wait a minute!" the old man called to me, then turned and picked up his kit and said, "Here you go, here's my kit." ”
"I don't need this. I excused myself.
"No, what do you use to open the way?" the old man asked.
"With my wind knife. "I turned around and left, because I don't think they would understand.
"Alas, crazy again. I heard the old man shaking his head behind me and sighing.
"Are you sure this boy is going to open the way for us, old man?" asked the old lady.
"Then where else can he go? Anyway, his wife is in our hands, and I am not afraid that he will run away. The old man said.
As I went out the door, I thought, "Didn't this crazy old man keep saying that he wanted to open a mountain by himself? Why did he catch me when I came? Anyway, since I promised this old couple, I will split this cloud mountain and make a way." ”
I walked some way up the hill, and when I looked back, the three huts were out of sight, so I rose in the wind, and in mid-air, and when I stretched out my right hand, a wind knife was born. I looked at the direction and thought it would be better to split the mountain from the middle.
