Walking on the forest path in the mountains, every step is deeply in contact with the feelings of nature, the fragrance of the soil, the breath of the jungle, every point is not available in the city, there is no noise of the city, there is no city lights, there are the purest notes of nature, some are the purest side of nature, the essence!

"Dad, how long are we going to walk here to reach Interpretation Town?" After walking for about half an hour, at the speed at which we walked, it was also a long distance, and in my imagination, such a shortcut should not be too long, so I casually asked.

"Why, I don't want to go." Dad said with a smile. Later, seeing that there was not much fatigue on my face, he said, "We can go to the elucidation after dark." Then he ignored me and walked towards the front of the road.

At this time, the path in front of us was also full of thorns, and my father took out a long knife prepared in advance and kept lifting those thorns to both sides in front of us, so that the people behind us followed along.

After walking for about three hours, the path in front of us suddenly became blurred, and Dad walked and stopped in front of him to observe where he was going, it seemed that Dad was also walking this road for the first time, and I doubted that we would be able to get to the town of Interpretation.

Just when my father was concentrating on finding the way, suddenly not far in front of us, a burst of cooking smoke curled, everyone saw that in the depths of such a remote jungle, there are undoubtedly only two possibilities for this smoke, one is that there are people, this possibility is not big, and the other is that there is something.

Then we walked towards the place where there was cooking smoke in front of us, and after passing several hillsides and ravines, we finally came to a flat place, three thatched huts, and the woods in front of the straw huts were dense, and when we looked closely, the cooking smoke was still rising towards the sky.

We looked around, there was no sign of yin qi, everything was normal, and suddenly I wondered in my heart, and secretly said, "Is it really human?" ”

Then everyone walked towards the thatched hut, until they came to the front of the thatched hut, and there was an old woman of fifty or sixty years old who was sitting at the front of the house, and her expression was gloomy, as if she was preoccupied, so that the old woman did not notice our arrival.

"Dad, isn't this .......?"

I didn't say the rest of the words, my father knew what I meant, and didn't answer me, but walked towards the old woman, approached the old woman, and said respectfully: "Hello, old man, I am passing by here and want to ask for a bowl of water to drink." ”

Only then did Lao Ou know that someone was coming, turned his head to look at my father, and said softly: "Oh, yes, you come with me!" Then he slowly stood up, turned around and led my father into the hut.

Just when Lao Ou turned to face my father, my father's right hand drove a charm to be pasted on the back of Lao Ou, and the moment the charm was pasted behind Lao Ou, my father was very surprised and did not see what happened to the old woman.

In fact, at the moment when the old woman turned around just now, I suddenly caught that the pupils of the old woman were different from ordinary people, they were pure blue, and the pupils of our ordinary people were black, and the old woman in front of me was blue.

I don't know if my dad who I observed also observed it, so I took a step forward and followed my dad into the grass hut, as the saying goes, fight tiger brothers, go into battle with father and son, and when I don't understand the old woman's intentions, I want to fight against my dad together.

The space of the thatched hut is not large, like the furnishings of rural people in the countryside, a wooden jar, a cupboard, and a wooden bed, but the inside is very neat and tidy, not messy at all, at this moment the old woman used the kind of water scoop used by rural people from the wooden jar to get some water out of the wooden jar, shaking her hand and handing it to her father.

Taking the ladle of water in the old woman's hand, my father drank it all without the slightest hesitation, and after drinking, he poured some water into the wooden jar and handed it to me, I began to hesitate for a while, and finally drank the water in the scoop cleanly.

When I drank the water in the scoop, it was directly different from the water outside, and the water had a fragrance that quenched my thirst, and when I wanted to ask for another scoop, my father interrupted me and said, "Some things are not very good." ”

So I fetched water for Wujing and other people who said, after everyone drank the water, they couldn't say a lot of goodness, because of the previous action of asking for it after drinking, no one asked to drink some, everyone drank a quantity.

When everyone had finished drinking, the father said to the old woman with a straight face: "Thank you for the hospitality, in return, I am willing to do one thing for the old man, which is equivalent to the reward for drinking water for us people." ”

"Do things, I don't think people can bother you, but if that's the case, there is really something imminent!" The old woman said with a heavy face.

"Let's talk about it and see if I can do it!"

Our group was confused by Dad's actions, and the conversation with the old woman made us confused and couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.

I blinked and looked at everyone's faces, but Huang Quan weighed thoughtfully, looking at Huang Quan's expression, I was sure that Huang Quan must know who this old woman was, and then I walked towards Huang Quan.

"Huang Lao, do you know something!" I whispered in Huang Quan's ear.

"Well, it's just a good thing, Master Mamen knows what to do, don't ask."

Huang Quan ignored me after he said that, and I could only stare dryly.

At this time, the old woman was also talking to her father, and vaguely, I only heard the old woman say to my father: "My old man went in that direction, he has been out for a month, and there is no news yet, if you stop by the way, help me visit, thank you here." ”

After saying that, he gave his father a dead branch, which was curved and shaped, and it seemed that it had been specially selected, and the dead branch still maintained its original appearance, which was a kind of throwing it everywhere in the woods.

"Thank you!"

What surprised me was that when my father took the dead branch, his eyes were full of gold stars, the corners of his mouth were happy, and he was reluctant to hold the dead branch handed over by the old woman, and he did not look like he wanted to discard the dead branch at all, all of which everyone was very puzzled, but no one asked the reason.

After that, my father led us into the woods, and continued to look for the path to the position we had walked before, and continued to move forward.

After a certain distance, I approached my father, who had now collected the dead branch, and from the time I entered the woods to the present, I am sure that he had not lost the dead branch.

"Do you wonder why I agreed to the old woman's request?"

My dad seemed to see my question, and then said with a smile, after my dad said this, I was even more curious, and looked directly at my dad.

"Have you heard of the Wood Spirit Clan?" Then my father said in a selling, I have heard of the Wood Spirit Clan, it is said that the Wood Spirit Clan was the first race when the heavens and the earth first came, and its origin was earlier than that of human beings and other creatures.
