As soon as I heard that this old man was going to open a way on this mountain, I couldn't help asking, "Old man, are you old this year?"

"Hehe, I'm ninety-three, you see I'm pretty tough, right?" said the old man with a smile.

"By the way, old man, the two of us have been here for so long, and we still don't know your honorable name. Yumei said.

"Well, no, but people call me crazy. The old man said.

I thought, "This is true." ”

"You are ninety-three years old, how can you get through this mountain?" I asked, puzzled.

"Don't I still have a son in the inner room? After a few years, he will talk about his daughter-in-law, won't he have another son?

After listening to the old man's philosophical words, I was immediately opened, and I immediately admired this old man.

"But, old man, won't you see this road in your lifetime?" I asked.

"How can we think only of ourselves, if only my children and grandchildren can follow this path. The old man said again.

As soon as I heard this, I wanted to bow down to this old man.

"I don't think it's getting late today, and I can go out and do some more work, boy, didn't you just say to help me open the way? The old man got up and went to get his kit.

"Wait a minute," I hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Don't be busy, old man, it's not too early for you to see the sky, I'll just forget it today, and I'll go and help you open the mountain and build a road early tomorrow morning." ”

"Really?" the old man looked skeptical.

"Really, old man, you just need to let my lover brother eat enough. Sister Yu also accosted her.

"Don't break your word, boy. It seems that the old man still doesn't believe it.

I stood up and patted my chest and said, "Old man, the matter of opening mountains and roads is on me, you can rest assured." ”

I saw that the old man pulled the old lady aside and whispered: "Old woman, you can show this kid to me, don't let him run away, this is a strong man who came to the door for nothing." The old lady nodded.

After a while, seeing the red sun setting in the west, after we had dinner, the question of accommodation was put on the agenda again.

I said to the old man, "Old man, where do you see our husband and wife sleeping at night?"

"This is easy to do, you little husband and wife will sleep in the outer room, and my wife and my son and I will sleep in the inner room. The old man said.

I can do it if I think about it.

As the night wore on, the old lady brought a futon, and went into the back room with the old man, and then closed the door, intending to sleep.

Now there is only one candle in the outhouse, and Sister Yu and me.

"Sister Yu, you see it's late at night, let's sleep together. I said.

"No!" Yumei blushed and said, "Brother Qingtian, although we have a marriage contract, we are not husband and wife after all, how can we sleep together?"

"And where do you want me to sleep?" I asked.

"It's better to do it," Yumei stretched out her hand and pointed to the ground and said, "You can make a bunk on the floor and sleep on the ground." ”

"I won't do it!" I objected, "What if I get cold on the ground?" Anyway, we will only stay here for the night, and tomorrow morning I will go and help the old man open the mountain, and we will sleep with clothes tonight. ”

"No, I'm still not reassured. Yumei said.

"Anyway, I can't sleep underground, okay, if you don't sleep, I'll sleep first. With that, I took off my boots and climbed onto the kang and got into the bed. The futon is old, but it's warm and comfortable.

I lay on the quilt and thought, "Sister Yu, if you don't sleep, then you can stand until dawn." ”

After a while, I was about to fall asleep in a daze, when I suddenly felt a flash of golden light in the room, and I woke up suddenly, and when I looked back, I saw that Yumei's hand had already given birth to a wand.

"Sister Yu, what are you going to do?" I quickly got up from the kang and asked.

"I don't worry about you, a big carrot, now I will set up an enchantment on this earthen kang, if you dare to cross the line in the middle of the night, be careful that I kill you!"

So Yumei confidently got into the quilt on the other side, and said to me: "Brother Qingtian, be careful not to cross the line." ”

I had to carefully burrow into the bed again, but I couldn't sleep anymore, afraid that if I accidentally ran into the barrier, it would not be a joke. I had to toss and turn on the kang, and after a while, my face was facing the barrier.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I found that Sister Yu was also staring at me with a pair of big eyes.

"Sister Yu, why don't you sleep yet?" I asked her softly.

"Brother Qingtian, why don't you sleep yet?" Sister Yu also asked me.

"I'm afraid that if I run into an enchantment, you'll kill me. I whispered.

"Then you won't not touch the enchantment?" said Yu Mei as well.

"And what if I do?" I asked again.

"Then I'm really going to kill you!" said Yu Mei coldly.

"Huh?" I was taken aback and quickly got up from the kang.

"Brother Qingtian, I lied to you, how could I kill you?" said Yumei hurriedly.

"Oh. Then I was relieved, and I lay down again.

"But you'd better not touch this barrier. Yumei said again, then yawned and said, "Brother Qingtian, I'm going to sleep, be careful yourself." ”

After a while, I heard Yumei's slight snoring, and it seemed that this girl was really asleep.

I couldn't sleep peacefully, I thought of many things—I thought of my Xiangmei, I thought of the Eight Spirit Beads, I thought of the Valley of the Divine Soldiers, where was it?

Suddenly, the sound of "oh oh oh" suddenly woke me up again!

I got up from the kang, and it turned out to be the rooster announcing the dawn, and the sky was already bright!

As soon as I turned my head, I saw that Yumei also came out of the bed, and it turned out that she didn't sleep very deeply.

"Sister Yu, you go to sleep, since it's already dark, I'll go out for a walk first. As I spoke, I got off the kang and put on my boots.

"Okay, Brother Qingtian, don't go too far, wait a while, you still have to help the old man open the mountain. Yumei said.

"Okay. I said, and I turned and opened the door and went out into the field.

Because there was no candle lit, I had just walked a few steps in the dark, and suddenly I tripped over something under my feet, and I fell to the ground with a "bang"!

As soon as they heard this, the old man and the old lady rushed out of the back room, and the old lady lit a candle and found me lying on the ground.

The old man grabbed my arm and said, "What, boy, you want to run?"
