122 Once Upon a Time in a Mountain Village
Li Yu and Qiu Tong watched the young man's actions, only to see the young man named Han Xi slowly spread out Bupa.
At that moment, Li Yu saw that the old man with white hair in front of the teenagers stood up suddenly, but in an instant, the majesty of the elders deliberately maintained on his face collapsed, and his eyes were full of the words "unbelievable", he wanted to touch the object in the cloth with his fingers like the dead branches of the old tree, but he gave up halfway, and then his whole body fell back into the rattan chair behind him.
"Old Ge?" the teenagers had never seen such a gaffe in this old man's appearance, and they couldn't help but call softly. (The old village chief's surname is Ge, and he is the oldest person recorded in Gejia Village's "Village Chronicles", so "Ge Lao" is his honorific title.) )
"No problem. Ge Lao waved his hand, and his tone was like a sigh. He asked, "What did she say?"
Han Xi told the truth what happened in the mountain.
......
After a while, the boys had all left, and only the red mane remained in Ge Lao's hands as evidence.
The gray-haired old man looked at the cloth in his hand, as if he had a thousand words to express, but in the end he did not say a word, only heard a sigh swirling in the empty room.
She refused to see him again.
Yes, after all these years, he has long since married another woman, his children have already been laid down, and his grandchildren have reached the prime of life.
He's already a bad old man.
He didn't know when he would die.
Missing...... It's good.
Ge Lao walked to the window, and the sun was shining outside the house. But in his heart, a cloud of sorrow was spreading.
Zhu Xianling sent someone a few days ago, and I am afraid that there are guests to entertain in the village these days.
It's just this time...... You're going to get me in trouble.
Ge Lao looked out the window, it was the best time of the day at this moment, his wrinkled cheeks were bathed in the gentle sunlight, and finally a smile appeared indifferently, and he muttered, "Canglin." ”
"It turns out that the name of the mountain god is Canglin, and it seems that it belongs to the Qilin clan. Qiu Tong said.
"Is the Qilin clan very powerful?" asked Li Yu.
"Yes, at least we can't afford to mess with it now. Qiu Tong replied.
"Is there anything that the little fairy can't afford to mess with?" Li Yu finally understood, the high demon plane was really scary.
Li Yu and Qiu Tong disguised themselves as passers-by and blended into the village.
At this time, there were guests in the village, and everyone ran to the entrance of the village to see the guests, so no one paid attention to Qiu Tong and Li Yu, so that they could mix very smoothly. Bean Book City
First, the young lady who was riding on the horse had a beautiful and moving appearance, plain and elegant clothes, although her face revealed the pale of a sick and weak person, but she could not hide the natural nobility inside. On one side, the swordsman in Tsing Yi is as tall as a pine, his facial features are very handsome, his gait is vigorous, and his heroic spirit is compelling. Even the old lady who led the horse was full of energy, and she couldn't see her old age at all.
Second, in addition to the merchants who used to buy mountain goods and the officials who collected taxes, there has been no outsider visiting this Gejia Village for a long time.
As if he was moved by the rare generosity of the county magistrate, when the three guests arrived at the entrance of the village, Ge Lao came to greet him in person with a cane. For a while, some villagers who had little interest in these visitors from outside the mountains were also moved by Ge Lao's enthusiasm, and they all came out, only blocking the originally not spacious path between the villages.
"A few distinguished guests came, and the old man lost his welcome, and he lost his welcome. Ge Lao smiled, as if he was facing the county master himself.
The old lady had already helped the young lady off the horse at this time, and the three of them saluted Ge Lao together.
"The old man is serious," the girl said softly, "the little woman has not recovered from her illness for a long time, and her body is full of turbidity, and she is ashamed to come here to disturb her, how dare you let the old man welcome you so warmly." ”
"Where are you talking about this, girl," Ge Lao replied, and said: "Girl's suffering, someone from the house has already come to explain to me before, and I have lived so old anyway, how can I be an unreasonable person." ”
After saying a word, Ge Lao patted the head of the yellow-mouthed child who had been supporting him before, and said softly: "Go and see if your mother has prepared the wine and food." ”
After hearing this, Xiao'er nodded, turned around, and squeezed through the crowd of onlookers in the back row.
"What are you doing around!!" Ge Lao scolded the people behind him, "Don't let the way yet! Erhu! Lead the guests to the guest room at the east end to rest! Sanni and Dashu still don't help the guests with their luggage! Lead the horse! Stand and prepare to let me, the old man, do you!!"
At this time, a village woman hurriedly came up to help Mama Rong lead the horse, and another villager helped remove the soft salute on the horse's back from the side.
"Leave the horses to us, too, there are stables in the village, and we will help you settle them well." The villager who led the horse said enthusiastically.
"Well, it's hard work. Mama Rong stroked the horse's mane and nodded to the villager.
After a scolding, Ge Lao turned his face to face the guest, and his face magically returned to his previous smile, and said: "This girl must not like to make noise, the old man has prepared guest rooms for a few people in the east of the village, and the neighbors are all clean people." The girl will go with my little grandson to take a look, and if there is anything she is not satisfied with, just say it. ”
"It's so hard to bother you, the little girl is really uneasy in her heart. Rong Mama behind the girl handed over a burden, and the girl held it with a pair of slender jade hands, and gently handed it to Ge Lao, and said softly: "The road from my hometown to this is far away, and many things are inconvenient to carry. ”
You think too much, don't you?
But seeing that Ge Lao took it without hesitation, the wrinkles on Lede's face deepened a little, and he said in his mouth: "Girl, you are so polite, how embarrassing is this." ”
"The little girl's surname is Lin, and her father's name is Xiruo. This is the guard that my brother invited for the little girl, Ye Qingyuan, a chivalrous warrior. This is the little girl's nursing mother, Mama Rong. "Girl...... No, now you should call her Miss Lin, or Lin Xiruo, seeing that Ge Lao accepted the gift, he introduced the two people beside him one by one, and then asked, "I don't know what the old man is called?"
Ge Lao was in a good mood at the moment, so he replied: "Since the girl lives in our village, she can just treat this place as her own home." Everyone in this village calls me Ge Lao, and the girl just needs to call me Lao Lao like that. There are not many people in our village, and the girl will be recognized after living in it for a while. ”
Hearing Ge Lao say this, Lin Xiruo just smiled softly, and his pale face faintly floated with this smile, it was really "the sky is sunny at the beginning, the snow is melting at the beginning, and the peach blossoms are reflected in the early spring", only to teach the young men who were originally gathered on the side to look stunned.
Ge Lao's little grandson, that is, the young man named Erhu who was called to lead the way for Miss Lin and her party before, actually blushed at the moment (fortunately, the skin is slightly dark, and you can't really see it if you don't look carefully), until he was hit by a cane from his grandfather on his thigh, he stepped forward a little twisted, and said, "Miss Lin, the guest rooms of several people have been cleaned up, that ...... Just follow me. With that, he turned around and walked away.
"I'm afraid this girl's cultivation is not low, and I don't know what the purpose of coming to this village is, I hope she didn't come to find the Son of Heaven like us!" Qiu Tong said.
Then, Li Yu and Qiu Tong continued to disguise themselves as travelers and quietly followed.
