On this day, a handsome and lovely little shepherd boy who was only seven or eight years old was herding cattle in the forest. When he was bored, he took out the bamboo flute and played melodious music.
Accompanied by the cheerful sound of the flute, a snake catcher who looked like he was forty or fifty years old, although he was sweating profusely, was full of energy to catch the long snake in the mountain, skinned it and took its gall, hoping to sell it at a good price in the market after coming down the mountain.
At the same time, a tall, young and handsome scholar in white walked quickly in the direction of the little shepherd boy in search of the sound of the flute.
"Hahaha......" A burst of laughter came, "Well, let me catch you now!" ”
The scholar approached and saw the snake catcher holding a small white snake in his hand, and laughed proudly. At the same time, the little shepherd boy stopped playing the flute and was about to step forward, but the white-clothed scholar took the lead and shouted: "Leave a snake under the knife!" ”
The snake catcher and the little shepherd boy were stunned, and the scholar stepped forward quickly, hugged his fist at the snake catcher, and said, "This strong man, I just need a white snake, I wonder if you can sell this white snake to me?" ”
"Sold to you? All right! The snake catcher was delighted to hear this and asked, "How much do you pay?" ”
"I don't know how many strong men want?" The white-clothed scholar asked.
"Well...... the snake catcher saw that the scholar in white was white and clean, and he seemed to be dressed well, and seemed to be very rich, and said tentatively: "Fifty copper coins." ”
"Good!" Without hesitation, the white-clothed scholar took out a string of copper coins from his arms, counted fifty, and said, "This is fifty copper coins, and the strong man counts them." ”
Seeing that the white-clothed scholar had at least two or three hundred copper coins, the snake catcher was very annoyed: it should be less!
However, the snake catcher was also a little faithful, and his words were spoken, and he did not regret it.
"The snake gives you, be careful, don't let it bite."
"Don't worry." The white-clothed scholar took the white snake with a smile, wrapped it around his left arm very casually, and gently stroked the head and body of the white snake with his right hand, completely defenseless. The little white snake is also very well-behaved and caress it, looking harmless to humans and animals.
"This son, you're too dangerous like this." The snake catcher frowned.
The white-clothed scholar shook his head with a smile: "Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, I save its life, and it will never hurt me." ”
"This ...... How can humans and animals be the same? The snake catcher did not agree with the scholar's philosophy, and the scholar did not theorize, so he smiled at it.
The snake catcher shook his head: If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer a loss, and when you suffer, you will know that it is terrible.
But when the snake catcher was sure that the fifty copper coins were correct, after the separation, the little white snake had already obediently wrapped itself around the arm of the white-clothed scholar, and there was no attack.
"That's right, fifty copper coins." The snake catcher said, "Childe can take the snake away." ”
The white-clothed scholar nodded, turned his head to look at the little shepherd boy, and smiled slightly: "Little shepherd boy, the weather is hot and your mouth is dry, I see that you have peaches here, can you sell them to me?" ”
"Okay!" Seeing that the white-clothed scholar had just spent money to buy snakes from the snake catcher, the little shepherd boy was also moved, lifted the basket with peaches, and took out two: "Childe, your peaches." ”
"Thanks, how much?" The white-clothed scholar took it and asked.
"This ......" the little shepherd boy scratched his head and said, "This is what I picked in the mountains, and I don't know how much it is, so give it to the child!" ”
"What a simple child." The white-clothed scholar smiled at the corner of his mouth, and casually put the remaining copper coins, about two hundred, into his bamboo basket.
The little shepherd boy was startled, and the snake catcher's eyes almost fell to the ground, and there was a hint of greed in his eyes.
"It's too much, it's too much." The little shepherd boy had never seen so much money, and he was at a loss for a while.
The white-clothed scholar smiled and said, "You said that if you want me to give it as you like, then I will give you this money casually." After speaking, he turned his head to the snake catcher with a greedy face: "This strong man, as the so-called gentleman loves money, he takes it in a good way, it is yours, you can take it; It's not yours, don't touch it, so as not to get into trouble. ”
The snake catcher was stunned in his heart, and said with a dry smile: "What Childe said is true." ”
The white-clothed scholar smiled faintly and turned away: "Good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil, it's not that you don't report it, the time has not come, and when the time comes, you will definitely repay it." ”
……
"Little White Snake, let's go!" At the foot of the mountain, the white-clothed scholar put the white snake on his arm on the ground, "Don't be caught again in the future." ”
The little white snake writhed on the ground a few times, and the head of the snake turned to look at him, its eyes full of spirituality, and then crawled away.
The white-clothed scholar smiled slightly, and was about to leave, but was suddenly stunned. Looking at the direction in which the little white snake disappeared, a thick complex color flashed in his eyes. At this moment, I heard a loud cry, turned my head to look, and saw an old woman in white hair and coarse cloth sitting on the ground, with a crutch falling to the side, moaning in pain.
"How's you, old woman?" The scholar walked over quickly and squatted down: "Where does it hurt?" ”
The old woman pointed to her ankles: "Feet...... The foot is here. ”
"Don't worry, I'll take a look for you." When I took off the old woman's shoes and socks, I saw that the old woman's ankles were already high and swollen.
The scholar frowned and said, "Old woman, your foot is a bit serious, and wait." ”
I got up and looked around, and soon picked some herbs and came back, then chewed them with my mouth, put them on the old woman's swollen ankles, and tore the cuffs to bandage the old woman, and said, "Old woman, how are you feeling now?" ”
"Much better." The old woman was very moved: "Child, what is your name?" ”
"Left little right." The scholar in white said.
"Left little right......" The old woman seemed to frown, looking at him with a little more strange eyes.
Zuo Xiaoyou didn't notice it and asked, "Old woman, where do you live?" I'll carry you back! ”
Hearing this, the old woman smiled and said, "I live in the small cabin in front, child, I'm sorry for you." ”
"No trouble." Zuo Xiaoyou helped the old woman clean up, carried her on her back, and walked towards the wooden house in front.
"Child, I don't think you're a local, why did you come to Qingcheng Mountain?" Halfway through, the old woman asked.
"The old woman doesn't believe it." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly bitterly: "I woke up and found myself in the mountains, this is just coming down from the mountain, but I didn't expect to meet the old woman." ”
"Oh?" The old woman was surprised: "Didn't you meet a robber?" ”
Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head: "Robbers are nothing more than murder for money, I have no money, and my life is still there, I must not be a robber." ”
"That's weird......" The old woman was puzzled: "Son, where are you from?" ”
Faced with this question, Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head: "Although I still remember many things, I have forgotten who I am." ”
"And such a thing?" The old woman was even more surprised, not only surprised, but also even more surprised.
Not long ago, he was still filming in a costume crew, because there was a night scene, he ate a boxed lunch and leaned against the wall and squinted for a while, but he didn't expect that when he regained consciousness again, he found himself in Qingcheng Mountain. Not only that, but his figure, appearance, and dress have also completely changed into the appearance of an ancient scholar, and the most evil thing is the piece of jade hanging around his neck, which suddenly emitted a light, telling him where he is now, as well as the world he is in, and the plot he is in.
This made him feel like he was struck by lightning, but he didn't expect to appear in the world of "The Legend of the New White Lady", the most nonsense is the time point, which is actually the moment when the little shepherd boy rescued Bai Suzhen 1,700 years ago when the plot began, many generations before Xu Xian.
I don't know if it's a hint of the light, after hearing the little shepherd boy's flute, Zuo Xiaoyou subconsciously ran over and saved Bai Suzhen before the little shepherd boy, and instantly strangled Xu Xian, the hero of the legend of the new white lady, in the cradle.
After letting go of Bai Suzhen, who was still a little white snake, Zuo Xiaoyou came to his senses: What have I done?
When I was in a daze, I met this old woman.
"Kid, don't you have nowhere to go?" The old woman said worriedly.
Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head: "Fortunately, it is better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles, I remember that I am a reader, I should be on a study tour at this time, I want to walk around, see, maybe one day I will remember my life experience and find my way home." ”
"Alas, I'm sorry for you." The old woman sighed.
"Huh." Zuo Xiaoyou said with a smile: "Heaven descends on the people, they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are tempted to endure and benefit what they can't." ”
"Hehehe......" The old woman smiled: "In the end, it is a scholar, and the old woman can't understand it." ”
"Anyway, the old woman doesn't have to worry, I'll be fine." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled.
Before I knew it, I had arrived at the wooden house. It was a very simple log cabin with only a bamboo bed and a few clay pots.
Putting the old woman on the bamboo bed, seeing that the old woman's life was so difficult, I couldn't help but feel unbearable: "Old woman, you live alone?" ”
"yes!" The old woman sat on the bamboo bed and smiled.
"What about your children?" Zuo Xiaoyou was very worried when he heard it.
"Dead." The old woman sighed lightly: "I have been alone all these years. ”
"......" Zuo Xiaoyou was silent for a moment and said, "Old woman, you are hungry!" I'm going to make some food. ”
The old woman was moved: "Child, I'm sorry for you." ”
Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head: "You are inconvenient now, and I am not in a hurry to leave, let me take care of the old woman's diet and daily life in the next few days, and when the old woman is well, I will leave." ”
"This ...... Kid, I'm so much of a hassle for you. ”
"No, it won't."
In this way, Zuo Xiaoyou temporarily lived in the old woman's house, taking care of the old woman's diet and daily life every day.
There is game in the mountains, so don't worry about food. There are not many problems in taking care of the old woman, but it is more troublesome to urinate and defecate every day. There is no toilet in this world, and the old woman's ankles do not allow her to squat, so she has no choice but to take care of the old man every day like a child. The old woman is over 70 years old, although it will make Zuo Xiaoyou a little embarrassed, but she can still accept it.
In my spare time these days, Zuo Xiaoyou will accompany the old woman to chat, and the conversation is about the old woman's life.
The old woman has no name, and has been living at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain all these years, but the old woman was born in Lishan, and she fled to Qingcheng Mountain that year, and later became a family here and married a hunter. It's just that Orion's life is not good, and when the child was young, he went into the mountains to hunt, but never returned. Later, other hunters picked up Orion's hunting bow in the mountains......
The old woman's children also died of illness within five years, and since then she has been alone. The neighbors around thought that the old woman was the mourning star of Kefu and Ke's family, and gradually no one had anything to do with her. The old woman was disheartened, so she left the small village alone, came here and built a small wooden house, and lived alone until now.
The old woman's experience made Zuo Xiaoyou very sad, seeing that the old woman's feet were getting better day by day, he was a little hesitant, should he leave? If he leaves, the old woman is in her seventies, how can she live alone?
A few days ago, if she hadn't happened to meet him, it would have been hard to say if she would have met a carnivore and took her away? What's more, with the medical and health standards of ancient times, it is a miracle that the old woman has survived until now, and it seems that she will not live for a few years after that.
Thinking of this, when the old woman's feet were completely healed, Zuo Xiaoyou made a decision: "Mother-in-law, I have decided to stay and take care of you for the rest of your life and provide for you to the end of your life." ”
Hearing this, the old woman was moved to tears: "Good boy, good boy......"
But after crying for a long time, the old woman rejected his decision: "Child, it is enough for you to have this heart, but the most important thing at the moment is to find your own life experience as soon as possible, your family, I think they must be waiting at home in a hurry." ”
Speaking of this, the old woman's expression was gloomy: "This feeling is that my relatives have left but never come back...... I know. ”
"Mother-in-law......"
"I'm fine." The old woman smiled again: "I'm already well, I can take care of myself, and I've come over all these years." Kid, rest for the night today and hit the road early tomorrow morning! ”
After a moment of silence, Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head firmly, and said: "I can't remember the previous things, and I don't know if I have any family, but mother-in-law, you are here, I only know that if I leave, you will live a very painful life alone." So I'm not leaving! ”
Zuo Xiaoyou picked up the hunting bow and feather arrows placed in the corner of the wall, and said, "Mother-in-law, I went hunting, let's have a hearty meal today." ”
Looking at the figure of the meteor striding away, the old woman's eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, and there was a thick smile on her face.
In the following years, Zuo Xiaoyou really stayed, and took care of the old woman with all his heart until this day......
"Mother-in-law, there is a bumper harvest today, I came back from hunting a wild boar, which is enough for us to eat for several days." Zuo Xiaoyou carried a half-sized wild boar back to the cabin, but did not get a response from the old woman.
Zuo Xiaoyou was stunned, put down the wild boar, opened the door, and saw that there was no old woman at home, but instead there was a half-human, half-snake monster.
"What a demon!" Although he had known that there were monsters in this world, and even Bai Suzhen was a monster, Bai Suzhen was just a small snake at that time and had not yet transformed, but now, he saw a monster that had evolved into a 'half-orc'. Although the aura of this monster seemed to be very peaceful, it was suddenly frightened, and Zuo Xiaoyou did not notice this, raised the spear in his hand, and stabbed at the snake demon.
