The next morning, after Xiao Qi woke up, he went to the stove to boil medicine for Ah Fu.

After Xiao Qi boiled the medicine, the old man also woke up, he got up slowly, and saw two people sleeping on the ground, he blinked his eyes and looked carefully a few more times, and was a little surprised to see that there were really two people on the ground, and hurriedly asked, "Who are you?" ”

Due to the hangover, the old man's voice was a little hoarse.

When the big head heard the question, he hurriedly got up and explained to the old man: "Old man, we knocked on the door for a long time yesterday and no one answered, so we opened the door and came in. ”

Xiao Qi has excellent hearing, and she has already heard the conversation between the two outside the door, she walked in with the herbs, put the medicine on the table, bowed to the old man, and explained: "I'm sorry, old man, my brother is very sick, I was too anxious to climb over the wall and come in." ”

The old man's body shook and felt that his physical strength was a little weak, so he sat on the edge of the bed and said to a few people: "You can't take medicine when you're sick, come and I'll help check the pulse." ”

Xiao Qi helped Ah Fu to the old man, and after the old man took the pulse, he muttered for a moment and said, "It's not a big problem, it's just a little cold, little girl, bring the bowl of medicine you boiled." ”

Xiao Qi took the medicine and sent it to the old man, the old man sniffed it, tasted it with his finger and said, "Okay, let's drink this medicine first." ”

The old man stood up and stretched, then sat back on the bed with his stomach in his hands, and said to Xiao Qisan: "I'm hungry, go and cook for me." ”

Xiao Qi immediately turned around and went to the stove.

The old man looked at the motionless big head and said, "My old man has a sore back, why don't you come and give me a beating." ”

Big head: "I only do trading, I never work in vain." "The big man actually wants to ask how this old man used to live here alone and eat? And how do you beat your back?

The old man: "It's not for nothing, right, you come over and beat it first, and I'll let the girl give you the money when you go back, her brother used my herbs." ”

Xiao Qi quickly turned around from the stove and asked the old man for instructions: "Old man, I am actually not very good at cooking, you have noodles and noodles in the noodle jar, why don't I help you make steamed buns." ”

The old man waved his hand: "Okay, okay, remember to hurry, my old man is about to starve to death." ”

Xiao Qi mixed the noodles with warm water, kneaded them, put them in a basin, covered them with reeds, and wrapped them in the quilt where Ah Fu was sleeping, and it was estimated that this noodles would be ready very late.

After doing this, Xiao Qi boiled another pot of gnocchi, this one was effortless, and it was ready in two clicks.

After eating the gnocchi, the old man walked in the courtyard for a while with his hands behind his back, and then leisurely practiced the five bird operas in the courtyard, Ah Fu and Xiao Qi thought it was very fun, so they practiced together.

After the old man finished fighting, he immediately became energetic, and said to a few people: "Do you want to know how old I am?" ”

The big-headed heart ghost wants to know how old you are, what is the use of this thing that can neither be eaten nor drunk by age?

Xiao Qi looked left and right, and saw that Datou and Ah Fu ignored the old man, so he had to stubbornly cheer: "Old man, are you in your seventies?" ”

The old man shook his head, stroked his white beard and said, "I'm one hundred and eight years old, you can learn these five poultry operas well, and after you learn to play them every day, you will probably be able to live as long as me in the future." ”

The big head was very surprised when he heard it, he really didn't expect this old man to be more than a hundred years old, it can't be nonsense, right?

Xiao Qi: "People say that seventy is rare, you are really blessed, the oldest in our village is only over seventy years old." ”

The old man seemed to be very happy with Xiao Qi's applause, and pointed to the mountain peak in the distance and said to Xiao Qi: "Do you see the cliff on that mountain, there is a pine tree growing on the vertical cliff wall." ”

Xiao Qi: "I know, that's Phoenix Mountain." "Phoenix Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles, and there is probably no one around Phoenix Town who doesn't know Phoenix Mountain.

Old man: "A hundred years ago, my master lived in this courtyard, and he said to the eight-year-old that there are a few fairy grasses growing under the pine tree on the cliff, which can cure the plague, do you know what the plague is?" It was a terrible disease that could be transmitted from person to person, and it would happen every few years, and a lot of people would die every time. When I grew up, I went to climb cliffs again and again, but I never got there, and every time I failed, I would get drunk. ”

Xiao Qi looked at the pine tree: "Are the leaves of the fairy grass round?" ”

The old man looked very excited: "Little girl, what did you just say?" You repeat? ”

Xiao Qi: "Are the leaves of the fairy grass round?" ”

The old man's hand was still pointing at the cliff, but he trembled: "How do you know it's round?" ”

Xiao Qi opened his innocent eyes and said, "I saw a few grasses growing under the pine tree, with round leaves. ”

The old man's eyes widened: "Can you really see it?" What color is that leaf? ”

Xiao Qi nodded seriously: "You can see it, it's fiery red, it's very eye-catching." ”

The old man immediately wet his eyes: "It's exactly the same as what my master said, I have an obsession in my life, that is, I want to see the fairy grass with my own eyes before I die." ”

Datou and Ah Fu were very surprised when they heard this, and hurriedly looked up at the cliff, they tried hard to see more clearly, but how could they see it from such a distance.

Big head: "It's too far away to see, Xiao Qi, your eyes are really amazing......"

Ah Fu: "Sister, your eyes are so powerful, you can see small things so far away. ”

The old man jumped and jumped around Xiao Qi like a child, and was excited: "It's great that God has given you a pair of divine eyes." ”

After the noodles were made in the afternoon, Xiao Qi steamed a pot of big steamed buns with white flowers, which was very good-looking.

The old man took an entrance and was shocked again: "I have lived for more than a hundred years, and it is the first time I have eaten such delicious steamed buns." ”

Xiao Qi was a little embarrassed: "My mother said that I have a lot of strength, so the kneading noodles are strong." ”

The old man stroked Bai Huahua's beard and said, "I see that you do things decently, why don't you stay and be my apprentice, so that I don't have to cook by myself in the future." ”

Xiao Qi patiently explained to the old man: "Old man, I don't want to study medicine, I want to learn martial arts, and I will be a heroine who robs the rich and helps the poor when I grow up in the future." ”

The old man corrected her: "If you rob the rich and help the poor, it is called a thief." ”

Ah Fu hurriedly came out of the house with a bunk: "My illness has been cured, sister, let's go home quickly." ”

Xiao Qi looked up at the sky: "Well, it's not early, I'll clean up the stove and we'll leave." ”

Xiao Qi hurriedly cleaned up the stove, and when he came out, he accidentally broke the door frame of the stove, Xiao Qi took out the money bag and handed it to the old man with an embarrassed face: "Old man, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to, all this money is for you, and when the weather is warm, you go out and find someone to help fix it." Saying that, Xiao Qi started to lead the mule.

Old man: "Wait a minute, old man, I'll prepare some medicine for your brother to take back, and you'll be almost all right after eating." ”

Xiao Qi's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile: "Thank you, old man." ”

Soon the old man prepared the medicine, and when the three of them left, the old man stopped in front of the mule: "The money you gave is too little." ”

Xiao Qi smiled and asked, "How much is missing?" I'll send it to you in a while. ”

Old man: "I, I don't want money, you have to promise me one thing, and when you have the ability in the future, remember to pick a fairy grass and give it to me, and I will definitely live to that time." ”

Xiao Qi nodded: "You drink less, take care of yourself, let's go." ”

The mule cart went away little by little, and the old man shouted loudly towards the back of the mule cart: "Don't forget, I will definitely wait for you alive." ”
