In his sleep, Lu He saw his parents, sitting on the sofa at home, watching TV. Lu He opened the door and walked into the very familiar home, looked sideways, her parents also looked at her with a smile, her mother stood up, tightened the clothes on her body, and said with a smile: "Xiao He is back." Come on, come in, school is on vacation, come back and don't say a word, I and your dad are not prepared, it's so late, you wait, mom will cook for you, make your favorite food. Child, dad, why are you stunned, the girl is back, don't you say you miss her? Why don't you talk when you get to your face, you two talk first, I'll cook. ”

Lu He smiled softly, his mother was still like this, talking like a cannon, and his father was also smiling and watching the mother and daughter talk as usual. Lu He walked into the house, changed his shoes at the door, his hand was pulled by his father, and the indescribable warmth in his heart seemed to be separated from his parents for decades.

The picture on the TV didn't stop, and Lu He squatted in front of the coffee table to eat. This feeling seems to have been a long time coming, a hot tear slid down his cheeks, and Lu He, who was immersed in happiness, suddenly remembered something, "No, girl???"

"Girl~~Girl~~Hey~"

Lu He opened his eyes in a trance, and the image in front of him shook into an old man's face, and he could clearly see the folds on his face.

"Hmm...... Huh??What are you doing, old man??"

When Lu He saw the old man in front of him clearly, he turned over and sat up in a panic, and his suspicious eyes glanced at the old man, who was wearing a white... Mai looked very rough, squatting on the ground, with cloth shoes on her feet, a white strip of cloth tied to her head, sparse gray hair fluttering slightly, her face full of folds, dark old age spots scattered on her face, pursing her mouth, her nose was a little red, and her eyes seemed to be blue gems embedded in the bare hills, revealing a sense of determination. The old man just looked at Lu He quietly, but she felt as if she was being stared at by an eagle soaring in the sky.

The old man looked at Lu He for a while, then looked at his side, stretched out his loose-skinned hand and took out a cake in his pocket and handed it to Lu He, and at the same time put on the hat in his other hand, and said with a kind smile: "Girl, if you're hungry, eat quickly, get harder, go to the lake and mix water to eat." ”

Lu He swallowed his saliva, looked at the old man with wide eyes, hesitantly stretched out his right hand to take the cake, and said, "Thank you!" and then grabbed the cake and devoured it. Although Lu He ate a snake last night, people are like this, especially after eating before going to bed, they will be very hungry the next morning, not to mention that Lu He has walked a lot in the desert, in fact, she is also hopeful at this time, and finally sees people, she should be able to get out of the desert, and there is no need to worry about becoming a dry bone in the sea of sand. The cake is indeed very hard, but it is still warm, and it has no taste in the mouth, and some of the broken cake crumbs fell on the grass under him, so Lu He only took the cake with his left hand, and followed the crumbs with his right hand below. Because he was in a hurry to eat, the cake was still dry, Lu He didn't swallow it and choked, coughed uncomfortably a few times, and swallowed it hard.

The old man looked at Lu He's appearance, shook his head with a smile, took off a sleeping bag from his waist and handed it to Lu He and said, "Girl, what are you anxious about, no one is robbing you, come and drink some water, don't dislike my old man." ”

Lu He bowed his head to the old man gratefully, slapped the crumbs in the palm of his right hand into his mouth, took the water belt and gulped a few big sips, but he choked again. The old man sighed, got up and went to Lu He's side, and said helplessly while stretching out his hand to pat Lu He's back: "You girl......"

Lu Hexia, who was soothed, flew her cheeks, didn't look at the old man, just said softly: "Thank you for ......", and then continued to eat, this time in small bites, and from time to time pulled the untied hair behind the ears.

On the shore of the silent lake, an old man and a girl sat quietly.

After Lu He finished eating, she sat quietly, although she knew that she should communicate with the old man and ask how to get out of the desert, but she always felt that there was a faint oppressive force on the old man, which made her a little at a loss.

The old man saw that Lu He was just sitting after eating, silent, and a little curious, so he took the initiative to ask, "Why doesn't the little girl speak?"

Lu He felt a lot more at ease when he heard the old man's words, too, if the old man wanted to do something to her, he didn't need to wake her up and give her something to eat, no matter what, this was the first person she met, so he said with a deep breath: "Eh... Thank you for the gift, and I will repay it in the next day. After speaking, he hugged the old man like a person in a martial arts movie.

After hearing this, the old man smiled heartily: "Hahaha~ Your girl is quite interesting to speak, where is this gesture, I have never seen it." “

Lu He thought about it, yes, I don't know where it is, this fist really shouldn't be done, but now I can only smile awkwardly and say, "This is what I thought of myself, haha~"

The old man smiled and said, "Oh, what do you think?"

Lu He couldn't wait to give himself a slap at this time, saying that it would be good to do it casually. After thinking about the explanation I had read on Baidu before, I said: "I think this left hand represents Wen, and the right hand represents Wu." The left hand is palmed, and the right hand is clenched into a fist, indicating humility and waiting for the guidance of teachers and friends. ”

The old man thought about it, this girl is about sixteen or seventeen years old, it is really good to have such an idea, looking at the appearance of this dress, she should have been trapped in the desert for a long time, and she can live until now Her mental and physical fitness is excellent, so she followed Lu He's words and said: "It's a little interesting, so to speak, you are asking me for advice, and you want to worship me as a teacher." Hahaha~ Okay, I'll take you. "

Lu He tilted his head to look at the old man suspiciously, why did he accept me as an apprentice? No, no, inexplicable, there must be a demon when things go wrong, and he snorted and said: "Old man, I forgot to say it, I forgot to say it, this gesture still means to express gratitude, you are wrong..."

Before Lu He finished speaking, the old man interrupted her: "Hey, okay, I'm very happy for the teacher today, come on, apprentice, introduce yourself, the old man's name is Zhao Shanhe, you can call me master in the future." ”

Lu He was stunned, how could this old man be so shameless, this is forced to buy and sell, no, oops, how can this old man be so shameless anyway! She lowered her head, thinking about how to refuse, and after thinking for a while, she felt that people could be regarded as giving herself a hope to get out of the desert alive, and she was half a life-saving benefactor, okay, then admit it, you have to have a backer to come to this world. I organized the language and said, "Division... Master, my name is Lu He, Lu from the mainland, He Miao He, eh, I have a head injury, I don't remember where I am from, don't ask. Also, I don't think I'm a good fit for you, I always feel like there's a pressure on you. ”

Zhao Shanhe was shocked again after listening to Lu He's words, and thought to himself: "This Nizi can actually feel the oppressive force on my body? As for the head injury, heh, the little girl doesn't want to say, then I won't ask, hehe~" Standing up, Zhao Shanhe closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and then suppressed his breath, Lu He suddenly felt a lightness in his body, as if the thing on his shoulder had been removed, and he also stood up.

Zhao Shanhe nodded to Lu He and said, "The apprentice has his own set of rules to go, and he will do it when he goes back." As a teacher, I came here to investigate the whereabouts of a fierce beast, and I went deep into the desert for ten days and found nothing, but I picked up an apprentice when I went back, hehe, God will do so. ”

Lu He had no choice but to smile, isn't it providence, I met you in less than two days after I came to this world.

Looking out through the pass, a touch of rose red appeared in the sky at this time, and the slender clouds like lines divided the sky into several pieces, and half of the body sank into the horizon in one day.

Zhao Shanhe took out a large bag from behind his waist and spread it out, with a large number of bamboo parts placed inside.

About an hour later, Lu He stayed in the small bamboo pavilion and silently poked the fire with a branch, and took care of the two big snakes on the fire from being scorched. Zhao Shanhe, who was on the other side of the fire, was lying flat, his hands on his sides and his fists, his eyes closed as if he was a corpse.

Lu He recalled the appearance of the two snakes on the fire before his death, looked at the bamboo pavilion again, and thought silently in his heart: "Maybe this is the big guy...... What I lived yesterday can also be called life?"

"Master, Master, it's time to eat! Oh, no, it's snake!"

The sky is like a dark blue and half black canvas, and the stars are scattered on the canvas one by one, as if they don't need money. The wind blew through the silent small canyon, carrying Lu He's voice far, far away. There was also an old voice, "He'er, I don't think you can eat it, so give your half of the snake as a teacher." "Dead old man!!I don't!"
