Chapter 40: The Hundred Herbs That Swept the Universe (4,000 words)
"What the hell is going on," Lin Mengdie struggled to recall, "I must have seen him somewhere, and I saw him often." ”
The familiarity was too strong, but in the end she couldn't remember.
The old man was not very interested in Lin Mengdie, in fact, in Lin Mengdie's opinion, this old man was very kind to Jiang Yan, but he was very indifferent to her, and he almost didn't want to look at her more.
Jiang Yan told the old hunter what the result of his obsession with death was.
He told what the truth of everything was in the morning light.
But about the violent beating of the Seven Great Men, and everything in the other world, he did not mention a single word.
It's not that he deliberately deceives, it's that he doesn't want the old man to get involved.
"Don't fucking go," the old hunter laughed, "and you have to give it to someone stupidly." ”
"Actually," Jiang Yan sighed softly. Maybe the impact of the other world on him was too great, and in just one morning, this matter seemed to have passed, "When the old man told me that the legend did not exist, I had already guessed that she was lying to me, but I just wanted to ask for clarification. ”
"That's good," said the old hunter, not making any more fun of him, "ask about everything, whether it's good or bad, and make sure you find out, and don't be deceived." ”
Speaking of this, he raised his eyelids, and his eyes gently swept over Lin Mengdie.
Lin Mengdie noticed this look, and for some reason, it was just a casual glance from a mortal, but she felt her heart pounding.
"What does he mean?" Lin Mengdie thought secretly, "He seems to have seen everything and is making some kind of reminder?" ”
His dizzy old eyes looked very cloudy, but in his eyes, it seemed to precipitate the vicissitudes of eternity, and under it, there was nothing to hide from any deception or concealment.
She felt a little uneasy, and wanted to get out of here at once, out of the old man's sight.
"Uncle is right, I remember." Jiang Yan nodded and said heavily.
Hmph, the old hunter laughed, noncommittal.
Lin Mengdie breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, he didn't notice anything.
"Uncle," Jiang Yan took out the dagger and handed it over, "Knife." ”
He was a little embarrassed, and before, instead of taking it, he also threatened the old hunter with this dagger.
However, the old hunter was very open-minded and did not say anything about him.
And, he waved his hand, "It's old, you don't need it, you can take it and play with it." ”
"Huh?" Jiang Yan was taken aback and didn't react for a while.
However, he looked down at the dagger in his hand.
The dagger was rusty, about a foot long, with no patterns on it, and the grip was crude.
Obviously, this is not a valuable gift, Jiang Yan can completely refuse, or even pretend to accept it, and throw it away when there is no one.
However, the old hunter saved him twice, without asking for anything in return, but at this moment he wanted to give him a dagger, Jiang Yan naturally did not dare to slack off.
"Thank you, uncle." He said, solemnly putting the dagger away.
"I'm thirsty," said the old hunter, "and there's herbal tea in the house, go and bring it." ”
"Oh." Jiang Yan answered and walked towards the hut.
Behind him, Lin Mengdie immediately followed, like a little tail.
The old man was a little weird, she thought, she couldn't be alone with him.
However, the old hunter stopped her: "Girl, are you a foreigner?" ”
Foreigner? Lin Mengdie's heart jumped, this question was very ordinary, but to her ears, it really meant something.
Did he really see through me? Know that I am from the Humane Universe?
Lin Mengdie was a little uneasy, she didn't want to answer this question.
However, she had to stop again.
Because she was walking with Jiang Yan at the moment, she had to take care of his feelings.
"Yes," Lin Mengdie stopped and said in a big voice, "I'm from outsider." ”
At this time, Jiang Yan had already gone away.
"It's a long way home, isn't it?" The old hunter said naturally.
How is this the problem? Did he really see what I was doing? Lin Mengdie thought secretly, and her heart was even more uneasy.
"It's quite far," she said with a smile in desperation, carefully worded, and at the same time secretly tentative, "How can the old man see it?" ”
"Guess." The old hunter joked, not revealing how he saw it.
He looked at Lin Mengdie and didn't say anything more.
This made Lin Mengdie puzzled, she felt that the old hunter was very mysterious, and every question meant something, and seemed to see her origin.
However, for some reason, he gently put it down again.
Could it be that I'm thinking too much? She couldn't help but frown.
At this time, Jiang Yan came back with a teapot, plus three large bowls.
He lined up the three bowls in a row, picked up the teapot and poured three full bowls of herbal tea.
"It was too hot," he said, "to die of thirst." ”
The old hunter picked up a bowl of herbal tea, and so did Jiang Yan.
Lin Mengdie didn't want to drink anything outside casually, but seeing this situation, in order not to be so embarrassed, she also reached out and took the last bowl.
In fact, she was thirsty.
She held the bowl and gently poured a small amount into her mouth, wanting to taste it.
"Herb dew?" When she tasted it, she couldn't help but be surprised.
Baicao dew has swept the entire humane universe, conquering too many people with its unique fragrance and suitable sweetness.
Lin Mengdie never thought that in such a low-level civilization that does not interact with the humane universe, he could drink the dew of herbs.
She couldn't help but put down the tea bowl and looked at the old hunter, only to find that he and Jiang Yan were both holding a big bowl and drinking, and their faces were covered by the bowl.
It's too weird, Lin Mengdie told herself, how could Baicaolu appear here? In this old man's house? My feeling is mostly right, this old man is not simple, maybe some incognito big man.
The thought terrified her, she was the destroyer of civilization with the Chaos fuse, and anyone who lived on it would do anything to kill her if they knew who she was.
She couldn't help but look at Jiang Yan, as if this action could make her feel at ease.
Jiang Yan? He picked up the full bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
He was so thirsty, he had released too much energy from last night to now, and all he had ingested was a silver apple.
That silver apple tasted good, but it neither quenched thirst nor weighed hunger.
"It's so cool," Jiang Yan let out a long breath after putting down the tea bowl. He felt that this herbal tea was delicious, with an indescribable sweet taste, "Uncle," he couldn't help but ask, "This herbal tea is delicious, did you make it yourself?" You can sell it. ”
This question made Lin Mengdie's heart skip a beat, this is exactly what she wanted to ask, how did Baicaolu appear here? Did the old man cook it himself?
If it's true, it's too terrifying, the recipe of the herb dew is very mysterious, and it is controlled by a certain big force in the human universe.
"Chinese medicine," the old hunter's answer was very brief, "it has some benefits for the body, so drink more if you like." ”
Jiang Yan agreed, this bowl of tea made him refreshed and comfortable, he couldn't help but pour another big bowl and drank it all in one go.
Even, he still doesn't feel addicted and wants to drink another bowl.
This tea seems to have a kind of magic that makes you want to drink it again.
"Don't drink it," Lin Mengdie interrupted him, "You're a cow, you can't stop drinking water?" ”
She wanted to get out of here sooner, she didn't want to stay with the old hunter for an extra minute.
"What?" Jiang Yan felt inexplicable, "If you're thirsty, you won't let people drink water?" ”
"Ding!"
At this time, Jiang Yan's mobile phone rang.
Jiang Yan put down the tea bowl and took out his mobile phone to check.
"How is she?" Before he saw the content of the message, just looking at the name, Jiang Yan's eyes showed a trace of confusion.
It was actually a message sent by Li Xiaoran, which made him feel stunned.
When did she send me a message?
Lin Mengdie also saw the words "Li Xiaoran", and she immediately glanced at Jiang Yan.
"What did she say?" Lin Mengdie asked, and couldn't help but squint quietly.
Jiang Yan clicked on that message:
Where have you been? I don't know what's going on on the mountain, now the tourists are being evacuated, we all have to leave, the bus is leaving, hurry back.
Already evacuating tourists? This news made Jiang Yan's heart heavy.
There was no doubt that the huge machine was working.
He felt a rush and immediately put down the tea bowl.
"Uncle," Jiang Yan said goodbye to the old hunter, "I have to go back, and I'll see you next time." ”
If I can get away with it, he told himself secretly.
He felt very uncomfortable in his heart, this time there was no way forward, the green dragon and the white tiger walked together, and the good and evil were completely unexpected.
The old hunter's life-saving grace is unknown.
"Go, don't come back to see me," the old hunter waved his hand, "be a good man, don't do anything more to send you to death, don't be fooled anymore." ”
"Got it, uncle."
In the end, Jiang Yan left and embarked on the road down the mountain with Lin Mengdie.
He doesn't go on any bus, and he can think with his toes that the bus will definitely be checked.
"Actually, as long as we cross this piece of mountains and rivers," Jiang Yan thought about the way through the gloomy primeval jungle, "and when the bus is checked, we can get on the bus outside." ”
"In this way, it is better to avoid being found out, and it is better than walking through the deep mountains and old forests, and it is estimated that it will take a few days to reach Jianghan City."
By that time, the huge machine will already be running at high speed, and Jianghan City, and even the surrounding area of the orphanage, will definitely be laid a net.
He told Lin Mengdie about this idea, and immediately got her approval.
So, Jiang Yan first opened the map on his mobile phone and determined the way the bus must go.
Then, he dialed the phone number of the driver, Lao Wang.
On the phone, he told Lao Wang that due to various reasons, he was already outside Longhu Mountain, but he still wanted to take a ride back, and he would wait for the bus on the side of the road when the time came.
Outside the Longhushan Hotel, the driver, Lao Wang, put down the phone and immediately went to the big boss's room.
In the big boss's suite, he told the content of Jiang Yan's phone call just now.
"He's out?" After hearing this, the big boss was stunned for a short time, and he began to roar, "This damn little deflated three!" No wonder you can't find others! ”
"Go tell the people on the basketball team," thought for a moment, and with a cruel look on his face, he began to order, "Tell them to take your car, right on the road, and teach that kid a lesson!" ”
The driver, Lao Wang, nodded again and again, and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute," the big boss called out to him, "remember, it must be a painful lesson!" ”
As soon as Jiang Yan walked on the front foot, Long Ao arrived on the back foot.
He tracked a location, but it wasn't very accurate, he only knew that the target was in the area.
"Wicked, wicked," Long Ao said softly, "let me catch you." ”
"Then, the position of the leader of the dragon slaying team may be sitting on me."
"If I sit on the throne of the leader, the first thing is that everyone must wear women's clothes."
"That way, there won't be any more stinky men who will make irresponsible remarks about me."
Thinking of this, a perverted smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
In the distance, he saw two cabins in the middle of the jungle.
He walked over and saw the old hunter in the shade of the trees.
"Old fellow," he never had a good face for mortals, who seemed to him to be a waste of sunshine, air, and water, "I ask you, have you seen a woman?" ”
The old hunter opened his eyes and saw Long Ao for a moment, he almost didn't fall off the plank bed.
"What did you say?" The old hunter steadied himself and asked.
"People ask you," Long Ao said, pointing at the orchid, "have you seen a woman passing by?" Or there were other people around her. ”
"What does she look like?" The old hunter asked again, and he kept his head down, not looking up at her face.
"She looks ......" Long Ao wanted to find a proper description, she remembered Zhong Buer's description of Lin Mengdie, absolutely beautiful, so he said, "As beautiful as me." ”
As he said this, he cocked his orchid fingers, turned his head slightly to the left, and covered half of his face with horizontal flesh, as if he was holding a pipa and half covering his face.
There was no doubt that the old hunter vomited, and he vomited out all the herbal tea he had just drunk.
"Old fellow," Long Ao was furious, and he said in a deep voice, "Isn't what they said right? ”
"I don't see it," said the old hunter, "and there is no woman as beautiful as you." ”
This made Long Ao very useful, and also made him dispel the idea of teaching the old man a lesson.
So he walked to the old hunter's cabin.
"Where are you going?" The old hunter asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
"I want to see," said Long Ao, "whether the old fellow is deceiving people, if you hide Jiaojiao in the golden house, it will not be good." ”
He walked towards the cabin, his steps quick.
However, the old hunter was very fast, and almost in an instant, he blocked Long Ao.
"This is my private house," said the old hunter, "and you can't just break in. ”
As he spoke, he turned his face to the side and stared at the stones on the ground.
"A private house? Can't just break in? Long Ao laughed, "Old fellow, do you know who I am? ”
"You are the king of heaven, and you can't break in."
"Then you're right, old guy, he is the king of heaven."
Long Ao said softly, anger hidden in his voice.
He got impatient and decided to teach the old man in front of him a lesson.
