Chapter 151: One step at a time
"Let's go, let's go, it's not far ahead of the mountain!" The old man seemed to urge impatiently, and then said: "I have walked this road countless times, even if I close my eyes, I can walk back and forth, you are not familiar with the road, so it is lame to walk." It doesn't matter, you go a few more times and you get used to it. "Listening to the old man's words, it seems to be complaining that we don't trust his familiarity with this place.
It almost takes us to close our eyes and walk back and forth to hit those of us who almost cut our feet. I was secretly surprised that the old man was so old, and he still had a stubborn temper. Hearing this, everyone stopped talking, after all, the old man has said it to this point, who still doubts, the old man may have jumped up and really closed his eyes and walked out!
But the master seemed to have other thoughts, and whispered to me: "Ergou, you and Shangguan Jin should take care of the back, and go to the front to investigate for the master!" After speaking, without giving me a chance to speak, the master disappeared in place, and reappeared, already five or six feet away. After a short time, Master's figure disappeared into the vast night, leaving a few of us walking slowly.
After about an hour, the sharp gravel in front of it was gone, and there was a steep slope, and below the steep slope was a bottomless crack in the ground, or a gully of unknown depth, because of the darkness of the night, it was not easy to see the road conditions, let alone see the depth of the dark ravine below. Let's just think that if we fall into it, we don't plan to go down at all, so the only way out is to walk along the steep slope ahead.
It's just that the steep slope is too steep, and the sand and gravel on it seem to have become unusually loose after the wind and rain, and when you step on it, a trace of gravel immediately rolls down into the deep ravine below. Seeing this, I rubbed my chest in shock, turned my head to the old man and asked, "Old man, you won't tell us that when you came, you also came from the top of this steep slope, right?" ”
Without waiting for the old man to speak, Shangguan Jin said with a nonchalant face: "What's the big deal about this, not to mention the old man, even a three-year-old child can get by!" The implication is to ridicule me for being timid when I see a steep slope, I flashed around angrily, signaled Shangguan Jin to go first, Shangguan Jin was not polite, and when he left, he casually said, "Didn't Uncle Yang also walk from here just now?" If Uncle Yang can get by, then why can't I go! ”
After speaking, Shangguan Jin's feet were like oil, and he walked quickly from the top of the steep slope. Looking at Shangguan Jin's posture as light as a swallow, I murmured secretly: "This kid really has two brushes, in terms of Taoism and knowledge, he is indeed much higher than me, but unfortunately his lonely and arrogant character is also more prosperous, if he can not be like Gu Tan, maybe we can still be friends, but after this contact, it is also ...... hanging."
I sighed lightly and just wanted to follow, but suddenly thought that Hu Qingxuan and Wujin were still taking care of the old man walking behind, so I immediately turned my head and said, "Uncle Hu, otherwise, let me carry the old man on my back, or two people can carry it, so it will be safer to walk on the steep slope." Five catties all the way, even if the old man's body is not very heavy, he must be tired, and it is time to change people! ”
"Brother Ergou, you go yours, I'm not tired!" Wujin showed two rows of white teeth under the moonlight, smiled, and said: "This little thing is not difficult for me, I promise to get by!" ”
Hu Qingxuan also seems to be impressed by his apprentice, and he frequently nods and approves of Wujin along the way, and it seems that the advantages of Wujin are being discovered by Hu Qingxuan little by little. I'm secretly stinking and beautiful, isn't it five pounds that have been with me for a long time these days, and my brain has opened up? Therefore, he was appreciated by his master Hu Qingxuan, and laughed at himself, even if it wasn't because of the five catties of enlightenment, he would definitely be carefully cultivated by Hu Qingxuan in the future, and he would eventually become a great tool!
In order to ensure that there were really no accidents in Wujin, I cautiously walked behind Wujin to take care of it, while Hu Qingxuan walked in front. I didn't expect that five catties really fulfilled the mission, but I didn't say anything big, and it was like walking on the ground on the steep slope, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as walking like flying. This point, so that the old man lying on the back of five catties couldn't help but praise happily: "The little guy is really good, these legs and feet are about to catch up with the little old man, hehe!" ”
"Uh......" When I heard this, I couldn't help but quip: "Old man, dare you be stronger than five pounds of body bones?" Hehe, if you were younger, you might be able to say something like this, but now that you are over the age of six, it will make people feel ridiculous if you say something like this! ”
I didn't expect the old man to get married to me, and then said: "Little guy, don't look down on my old-fashioned body, if you don't have a leg injury, I'm afraid you can't compare to me, hehe!" This steep slope frightens you little ones at best, and it seems to me that it makes no difference peacefully! "Hearing the old man's contemptuous ridicule, I somehow felt in my heart, the more I didn't feel it, my legs were like this, my mouth was not forgiving, I could still speak so hard, the old man's temper, I am afraid I will not be able to make a few friends in my life.
Seeing that I stopped talking stupidly, the old man opened his mouth again: "Little one, if you are not convinced, I can go down and walk for you for a while now......
"Oops!" I suddenly stared at the old man and asked in surprise, "Old man, didn't you pay it back just now...... Can't you still hum and chirp? Could it be that my Uncle Hu's medicine is really so bright? Me, why do I think you don't have anything to do? "I still want to say something, but I suddenly found that Wujin's body tilted suddenly, so frightened that Hu Qingxuan and I both stretched out our hands to drag people, and Wujin also stabilized the scene, grabbed the ground deeply with one foot, and no matter how many gravels rolled down, he paused firmly.
It's just that Wujin still slid down five or six feet away, I swallowed my saliva hard, and hurriedly came to Wujin, coldly, I saw the old man smile at me strangely, that smile ...... The smile made me uncomfortable, and somehow, I always felt that Wujin was so tilted that I almost fell into a ravine, not like Wujin did it himself, but more like ...... I looked at the old man in a daze, and suddenly realized that there was no smile on the old man's face at all.
Now I feel even more strange, this old man, whether in terms of speech or expression, gives me the feeling that it is so strange. It wasn't until Wujin walked up again that Hu Qingxuan turned back to me and asked, "Ergou, what's wrong with you?" ”
"I, I'm nothing." I thought about it, and I didn't know how to tell Hu Qingxuan what I thought in my heart, so let's not talk about it. Anyway, send the old man home and it's over, this weird old man makes me feel uncomfortable. Raising my head, I frowned again inexplicably, and couldn't help but say to Hu Qingxuan: "Uncle Hu, have you noticed it, the stench in this area seems to be even stronger, why does this Desperate Valley smell like this?" It smells terrible! ”
Hu Qingxuan smiled and said: "I wasn't used to it at the beginning, but now, I can bear it to some extent, if you don't say it, I almost forgot about this stubble." Let's go, there is a steep slope not far ahead, and there may be a flat mountain road to walk! Saying that, Hu Qingxuan quickly caught up with five catties, and sure enough, as Hu Qingxuan said, he walked a steep slope, and the slope in front of him gradually flattened out, but, further on, I clearly saw a huge stone, lying sideways on the road, and if we want to pass, we must also pass through the gap in the boulder!
It's really a magical place, every step of the way, every step of the road, all the bumps are so fresh! I complained angrily, and quickly came to Hu Qingxuan's side, at this time, Shangguan Jin jumped on a boulder, first glanced around, and then said: "I go from above, you go from below, there are many places above that span a lot, you have to take care of the elderly, it is inconvenient to walk on it!" "Hearing Shangguan Jin's words, I really wanted to go up and drag this guy down, as if the responsibility of taking care of the old man had nothing to do with him at all.
It was all on us, and he was good, jumping up and down on the boulder so happily. Complaining is complaining, the three of us are still taking care of the old man and shuttling through the cracks of the boulder array, it can be said that the real gossip nine palace arrays are not so troublesome, and after walking for a while, it is only half gone. However, looking ahead, the boulder in front of me was obviously getting lower and lower, and when I saw this, I hurriedly said, "Uncle Hu, why don't we find a place to rest in front for a while?" Wujin has been carrying it for so long, and he is not allowed to be replaced, but he can't be so hard, he is still so young after all! ”
Hu Qingxuan also looked at Wujin with a distressed face, and Wujin just smiled honestly and said that he was not tired, he was fine, and he could still carry it on his back. To say five catties is too real, from knowing him to the present, he has not let others suffer a little loss, but whenever he is with him, any hard and tired work, he does not pick and choose to take it, to be able to recognize such a good brother, it is also my blessing, seeing five catties, I think of Bu Yique, the last time I met him in a hurry, I haven't had time to listen to him tell me more about the deeds of my brother, and I don't know where he is now......
Coming to the low stone mill, Hu Qingxuan ordered Wujin to stop and rest, Wujin finally didn't dare to disobey his master, took a big breath, and carefully put the old man down. But at this moment, I inexplicably saw the old man's weird smile again, and that smile ...... I can't help but shudder!
