"Old thing, let's go to the town to buy wine again," the old voice came from inside the thatched house.

"Who do you call an old thing, and you don't look at which of us is more like an old thing." A clear male voice sounded, responding to the old man's words.

Hearing this, a white-bearded old man slowly came out of the thatched hut with a cane and responded, "Okay, okay, I don't bother to argue with you." With that, he reached out to the man he had just called "the old thing" and begged for it.

The man was dressed in coarse linen clothes, his face was full of scum, his hair was tied behind his back, and he was fixed with strips of cloth at will, but even this could not hide the depth of his facial features, and a pair of light brown eyes seemed to be able to glimpse people's hearts.

The man answered, tossed a bottle of wine over and said, "You can't afford to lose a penny for wine." "The voice is clear and clear, like an ancient well without waves.

The white-bearded old man stroked his beard and replied, "We have been neighbors for so many years, and you are still slamming the door as always." With that, he threw a reddish fruit at the man.

The man took it gently, his eyes lit up and said, "Chiguo?" Before the old man could express his position, he pinched the fruit away from him and made a look of disgust.

Seeing this, the old man waved the cane in his hand, and said slightly angrily: "Don't pay me back." ”

Seeing that this was not good, the man solemnly thanked the old man and slipped back to his broken wooden house.

The furnishings in the house are minimalist, but the style is very complete, the man leaned against the window, opened the last jar of wine he brought back, drank it himself, ate the red fruit and the wine, the corners of his mouth opened slightly, and his thoughts drifted into the distance.

The summer mountain forest looks more and more lush under the scorching sun, but there is a dull dead silence under the shade of the green trees, there is no cicada chirping, no wind sound, the air seems to have become slimy, like sweat stains that can not be washed away on the body, and the trees on the top floor are intertwined, and even the sporadic sunlight cannot penetrate in.

There was also a faint smell of blood in the air, and under a giant tree in the depths of the forest, there was a man sitting, a man who couldn't tell if he was still alive, it seemed that this was the source of the smell of blood.

The man leaned under the trunk of the tree, looking extremely embarrassed, dirty, his long hair was wet with sweat, sticking to his pale face, the large and small scars on his body were countless, the most striking thing was the hideous blood hole on his chest, which was still slowly spilling blood, and the black clothes on his body did not know whether his original color was still dyed with blood, and the blood was dripping down the corners of his clothes, and he was dyed black and brown again when he sank into the ground.

The whole forest now became more and more like a deep mouth, as if it was about to devour all life.

I don't know how long this man has been in this state, but the wound on his body is beginning to heal at different rates, but the wound on his chest is still hideous, and it looks like his life will still be threatened if it is not treated.

At this time, a piece of blood-soaked land not far from the man suddenly moved, and then, a little doll was actually out of the soil, probably because of fear or something, the little doll never dared to approach the man, until he found that the man did not seem to wake up at all, so he boldly leaned over and pulled the man's dirty sleeve.

At this time, the man suddenly opened his eyes, but the little doll was startled, and he hurriedly squatted on the ground with his head in his hands and did not dare to move, the man looked at the little doll in front of him, and asked weakly: "You ...... Who is it, and where is it?" the voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.

The little doll raised his head at this time, and his speech was slurred, and the man saw his fear, so he added: "Don't be afraid, I won't harm you." ”

The little doll said a little straightly: "I am a red ginseng that grew here, and I was able to transform into a human because of the nourishment of your blood, I don't know what the name of this place is, dare to ask you?"

The man smiled bitterly: "I'm just a scattered immortal."

The little doll dared to get close to the man again, and the man wanted to touch his head when he saw this, but he touched the wound, and his face stiffened in pain, and the little doll hurriedly said: "I can cure your injury!"

The man thought to himself that this little ginseng would not use himself as medicine to heal my wounds.

Just when the man was about to shout no, the little ginseng had already cut his braids quickly, handed it to the man, and said proudly: "Oh, eat this!" The tone was tough and full of confidence.

The man asked, "Can you eat your hair?"

The little doll replied: "What kind of hair, this is ginseng, you eat it quickly, I don't know the specific curative effect, but I heard that our red ginseng is a must, and it should be okay to help you heal your injuries."

The man was not polite, ate the black braid, smashed his mouth, and sighed: "The taste is actually okay!" At the same time, he gave a thumbs up to the little ginseng.

Little Ginseng muttered in his heart, this person won't be a fool, he looks like a human.

After a few days, the man's injuries gradually improved, and he was able to walk around, he asked the little ginseng who had been following him: "Does this mountain forest have an owner?" The little ginseng answered truthfully no, and the man immediately announced that he would settle here in the future.

Little Ginseng suddenly realized a serious question and asked, "I don't know your name yet."

The man hesitated for a moment and replied: "Bai Che, white Bai, clear Che, since you saved me, then I will allow you to follow me, be my little follower, anyway, you don't have a name, then I'll call you little radish, like it or not!"

The corner of the little ginseng's eyebrows twitched, and he smiled stiffly: "Huh, hehe...... You're happy, by the way, you haven't told me how your injuries came about. ”

"My wounds...... How did you get there......"

How can I lean against the window and fall asleep for a while, the man who woke up from the dream muttered, it turns out that I have known that little radish, oh no, the old radish has known each other for so long, have I been so seriously injured before, it seems that people are really old and forgetful......

A thousand years in the mountains, like a world away.

The man named Bai Che got out of the wooden house, walked straight to his old neighbor, knocked on the door randomly, until the old man shouted and scolded inside, after the door opened, Bai Che looked at the old man with a big and exaggerated smile, and said, "I have decided to go down the mountain." ”

The old man poked out a face from the crack in the door, and said disdainfully: "You go down the mountain, why did you come to tell me, besides, you used to go down the mountain every day to buy wine and didn't greet the old man, what's wrong, now your conscience has found out?"

Bai Che said disdainfully: "This time is different, I'm going to go on a long trip, so you hurry up and pack your things." ”

After hearing this, the old man deliberately raised his voice and said: "Yo! Today, the sky has changed, our Bai Che is actually going to go far away, you have been living in the mountains for almost 2,000 years, I wish you a happy journey...... What, what am I packing? You don't want me to go with you, I'm a frail old man. After speaking, the old man made a look of wanting to fall down.

Bai Che clasped his hands in front of his chest, leaned against the door frame and said: "Come on, the two of us have only been dependent on each other for less than 2,000 years, and the lifespan of your ginseng clan is tens of thousands of years.

The old man said helplessly: "I don't want you to have a peer who has a common language!!"

"Okay, okay, go pack up your things, who did you learn from so much nonsense!No, how weird was that sentence just now......" Bai Che said impatiently.

Half an hour later, a child of about eight or nine years old came out of the thatched hut, dressed in coarse linen clothes similar to Bai Che, but with fair skin, not at all like a peasant child, and carrying a small baggage, his hair was tied into a braid with red rope and hung down behind his head, looking cute and pleasant.

When he saw that Bai Che was still clasping his hands and pestle like a nobody, he couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Are you going to go far away, you don't prepare your own luggage, and you are all counting on me, a powerless child?"

When Bai Che saw this child, he was much more than when he saw him for the first time, but Bai Che still stretched out his hand to the child, wanting to pinch his little face, and said, "Little radish, little radish, it's still cute like this!"

Little Radish slapped his hand away, looked at Bai Che with perverted eyes and said, "Won't you change your outfit and go out, just your sloppy beard now is a perverted uncle!"

On the way down the mountain, Xiao Radish questioned Bai Che over and over again if he really didn't bring anything, and said in detail that human currency must be used in the human world, the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation is huge, and the daily necessities must be complete...... Bai Che was impatient with the question, threw a ring to Xiao Radish and said softly: "This thing is called 'Sea Viewing Ring', I heard that you can get a glimpse of mountains and seas, and it can also accommodate mountains and seas, and it can be stored for a long time." ”

Little Radish said excitedly: "Where did you get it, can you give it to me?"

"I picked it up in the early years, if you call me Daddy Che, I'll consider it~" Bai Che raised his eyebrows and said.

Little Radish gritted her teeth and screamed truthfully, and then took the ring and smiled as she looked at the sun.

Until there was a white and faint voice over there, "Who wants you to be separated back then, and build a broken thatched house next to my wooden house, otherwise I will be my big housekeeper and let you see more treasures!"

Back then, Xiao Radish originally lived under the same roof as Bai Che, but in the end, he couldn't stand Bai Che's harassment and stupidity, and retreated to become a bickering neighbor!
