Chapter 11: The Enigmatic Old Man
What's this, isn't it just the mountain wind blowing! It's not the rustle of green leaves, it's late autumn, there are no green leaves, it's all branches, hum!
There was no way, Long Yang didn't move or say anything when he saw Jin Shan, only he sat on the ground and watched what tricks this old man was playing.
When he was bored, Long Yang piled up dead leaves and formed a small pile. Smooth your hands and stack them again. Or find a branch to write on the bare ground, write about the knowledge learned in school, sometimes I can't even understand what I write, and I can't help but think of it. Erase and repaint. These are all habits of children, and there are also things that are different from other children.
It's okay for a while and a half, but this Jin Shan can lie still for two or three hours, and Long Yang can't bear it, it's really boring.
"Grandpa Shan, I'm leaving, if I don't leave, it'll be dark, and my mother will blame me." Long Yang stood up.
"Did you feel anything?" Jin Shan suddenly opened his eyes and said.
"I see that you sleep soundly, and I feel that your snoring is loud, overshadowing the mountain wind." Long Yang didn't care, and expressed his heart directly.
"What about but me?" Jin Shan also sat up, rubbing his worried eyes.
"Except that you are dead trees and fallen leaves, there is also the mountain wind blowing, and this place is very desolate." Long Yang looked around, there were really no other important things here, not even a living thing could be seen, except for him and Jin Shan.
"It seems that you haven't sat in vain for two hours, and you have seen something. Okay, you go down the mountain, and come back here tomorrow to find me. Ignoring Long Yang, Jin Shan lay down on his own again.
This strange old man, I don't know what he thinks, what is worth feeling in this barren mountain and wilderness? He also buried himself in the middle of the dead leaves, could it be that there was his favorite wine in the leaves? Mother didn't know what to think, so she had to talk to her when she got home.
Long Yang did not forget the etiquette, said goodbye to Jin Shan, and returned home along the mountain road.
Jin Qin hadn't come back yet, and Long Yang went straight back to his room. Although today is ordinary, Long Yang's curiosity has also been stimulated. What is the origin of this Jin Shan, after seeing him, he didn't say anything, didn't do anything, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd? From the previous contact, he seemed to know everything, and he knew everything.
Long Yang really can't figure it out, so ask when his mother comes back!
After climbing the mountain for a day, Long Yang was a little tired and fell asleep on the bed in a daze.
"Long Yang, are you going to see your Grandpa Mountain today?"
"Daddy, really Daddy, you're here again. How do you know I've seen Grandpa Mountain today? Long Yang said excitedly.
"How can a father not know about his son, can you hide it from me!"
"My mother asked me to worship Grandpa Mountain as a teacher, I really don't understand, I don't understand what he can teach me? He didn't teach as much as the teachers at our school, and he just made me sit on the floor and feel it. "Long Yang didn't know what to do, and when he saw Long Shaoyun, he couldn't help but be a little coquettish.
"How many times have I told you, you have to listen to your mother's arrangement, you forgot! Also, I'm going to stay away from here, and you may not see your dad for a long time to come, but you have to remember that you must listen to your mother! Remember! ”
"Daddy, Daddy!" Long Yang was scratching his hands and feet on the bed, trying to catch the most important person in his life.
Sweating profusely, Long Yang came to his senses. It's been three years, and in the past three years, I have been able to meet and communicate with my father from time to time, and I have hugged my father a few times. Last time, he left without explanation. Could it be that this time, he is just going to leave again?
Long Yang cried, although his father said that men bleed without tears. Long Yang cried, but he didn't make a sound, and tears poured out.
Why do you want me to get along with Grandpa Mountain and worship him as a teacher? Long Yang didn't understand, his mother said, and his father said the same.
got up and washed his face, he decided not to talk to his mother about meeting Jin Shan today, and to figure out the secret himself.
I have to go to the top of the mountain tomorrow, not only for the doubts in my heart, but also for my father's last instructions.
At dawn the next day, Long Yang got up early, and there was no movement in his mother's house, maybe it was too late to do the handicraft last night, and his mother was really tired. Long Yang did the chores at home, and immediately left for the mountain after cleaning the hospital. There are so many questions in my heart, I really can't wait.
Just walked to the mountainside.
"Twitter, twitter."
Several small roe deer appeared in the middle of the road, and one roe deer was caught in an iron clamp by the side of the road.
Long Yang remembered that the female roe deer yesterday had white hair on her head, and if you looked closely, it was still the one from yesterday. Why are you so unlucky to be caught again? Although I didn't hear that anyone had gone up to the mountain to set up a trap since I went back yesterday, and no one had inquired about it, the Bodhisattva also had a temper when he repeatedly sabotaged and hunted.
Long Yang looked at the pitiful eyes of the little roe deer, and once again moved his heart of compassion. Ay! Good people do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west, and I will release you again.
As soon as the rope buckle on the iron clamp was unfastened, the female roe deer turned around and took a bite on Long Yang's hand, and then ran into the grass with the little roe deer.
"Oops! You are! Oops! ”
The blood on his hands flowed, and Long Yang hurriedly found herbs to stop bleeding nearby, crushed them and applied them to the wound. What is this singing, I have been kind enough to save your lives, but you have bitten my hand.
Save your life once, bite me again, three times, it seems that there shouldn't be a third time, Longyang turned around and left.
When I came to the top of the mountain, I saw Jin Shan sitting on the rock on the mountain, holding a wine jug in his hand, and pouring two sips into his mouth from time to time.
"Grandpa Shan, I'm here!" Long Yang put his injured hand behind his back and said respectfully.
"Well, it's good to be here." Jin Shan didn't even turn his head, as if he was talking to himself.
"If you have anything, just tell me, Long Yang listen."
"It's okay, you go back, come back tomorrow." Jin Shan still sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and did not pay any attention to Longyang's meaning.
Looking at Jin Shan on the rocks in a daze, Long Yang was speechless. Thinking that the wound on his hand urgently needed to be treated, Long Yang had no choice but to salute again and leave silently.
It wasn't until Long Yang left the top of the mountain and left his sight that Jin Shan stood up from the rock with a smile and fell lightly from a height of several meters.
"Uncle Shan, this child of Longyang will be handed over to you, how much do you bother!" I don't know when Jin Qin has come to the mountain and walked out from behind a big tree.
"Great niece, you're welcome. There's nothing to do with you here, but I promised Shaoyun about this. Hey, I also blame me for being greedy for a cup, why did I fall for him in a daze, and promised to accept Longyang as an apprentice, but the wine was really wrong. Jin Shan looked regretful and shook his head again and again.
"Uncle Shan, otherwise forget it, Long Yang won't trouble you!" Jin Qin said.
"What a word! The eldest husband can do what he says, you want to break my promise! Don't worry, I'll make this kid an adult. Jin Shan said excitedly with a red face.
"Then thank you, Uncle Shan, I'm leaving." After Jin Qin finished speaking, she left without looking back.
As soon as Jin Qin left, Jin Shan slapped his forehead.
"Hey! These two people, one virtue! Why can't Lao Tzu eat the radical method! ”
"Hehe, but Longyang, this kid is really good, bold and careful, I like it. Haha, I want that bottle of old roast drink when I'm optimistic, you really think I'm old and drunk, but in fact, I earned it! Hahahaha! ”
Bursts of free and uninhibited laughter echoed in the mountains and forests, and they did not stop for a long time.
"Uncle Shan, thank you!"
Jin Qin pulled her hair and bowed deeply to the mountain.
