Chapter 189: Three Portraits
Then, my grandfather and I stood up, and one of the old men walked up to me, reached out and touched my head, and sighed: "Oh, time flies, like a white horse, in a blink of an eye, more than a hundred years have passed, we have all become old guys, and the great-great-grandchildren of the Wu family have grown into such a young man, old man...... Old ......"
"Who's to say it's not...... When we first met Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu was as old as this kid, and Uncle Wu was already very good at that time, rescuing us from the hands of the gangsters, and then meeting the master...... We two old fellows have only survived to this day...... "The other old man also sighed.
I don't understand what they said at all, and I don't know how my ancestor Wu Feng saved these two old men more than a hundred years ago, so that they have never forgotten it until now, and they are grateful to Dade.
We stood in the courtyard for a while, and then the two old men took me by the hand and walked into the house, but I was quite flattered to neglect my grandfather.
After our group of people entered the house, the first thing that caught our eyes was a few portraits placed in the main hall, the middle portrait was a strange man in a white robe, holding a staff in his hand, the staff had a huge ruby on it, looking at the clothes, it didn't look like a Han people, it always felt like a minority in the south, there was a line of small characters on it, I took a cursory look, there were the words Meng Chi You Lao, and I didn't know if it was a name or a surname.
On the left side of this old portrait of Meng Chiyou is a Han man, a man dressed as an old man, carrying a large medicine box on his back, wearing a coarse cloth robe, a pair of straw sandals on his feet, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, but the appearance looks quite ordinary, a country man's dress.
The person on the right side of the portrait of Meng Chiyou Lao, I was stunned at a glance, that person looked to be in his twenties, wearing a blue-gray robe, holding a sword in his hand, the sword was engraved with various runes, vaguely forming the shape of a dragon, on the shoulder of this young man, there was also a strange monkey, not big, grinning teeth, looking very funny, the reason why the monkey looked strange, because the monkey's eyes had two white eyebrows, and he looked at it sharply, It's like having four eyes.
The young man in the portrait, I have a sense of déjà vu, it looks so familiar, think about it carefully, only to wake up like a dream, this young man's eyebrows feel very similar to me, I look at this portrait quite a feeling of looking in the mirror.
For a moment, I was stunned, staring blankly at this portrait and unable to pull my legs.
At this time, a big hand slapped on my shoulder, which scared me a spirit, I looked back, but saw that it was one of the two white-haired old men, looked at me with a smile and said, "Boy...... Does the person in the portrait look familiar? ”
I nodded involuntarily.
The old man laughed and said: "That's right, this is your ancestor Wu Feng, the old man specially found a superb painter at that time, and painted the face of your ancestor, this portrait has been hanging in our Wu family for a hundred years......"
Hearing this, my grandfather and I were shocked, and when my grandfather pulled me, our grandfather and grandson knelt in front of the portrait of our ancestor Wu Feng, and kowtowed respectfully a few times, and then stood up.
These two strange old men must be the two old doctors Xue Hangju and Xue Jishi mentioned by Grandpa Gaozu, but I can't tell who is who at this time.
After kowtowing, the two of them invited us to sit down separately.
After a short time, Xue Yasong served the tea and put it in front of us.
As soon as the lid of this tea was opened, there was a fresh fragrance coming to the nose, I couldn't help it, I took a sip, and suddenly it was in my heart, extremely comfortable, I had drunk the tea in my grandfather's office before, and there were special words on it, but compared with the tea I drank at this time, it was not as good as even brushing the pot water, and I couldn't care about the image for a while, and I drank a few more cups, and suddenly I had a feeling of fluttering like a fairy, and I had never drunk such a delicious tea in my life.
One of the old men saw that I drank a few cups of tea, and said with a smile: "The humble house is simple, there is really nothing to entertain, only some tea grown by the old man himself, make do with it." ”
The tea grown by the old gods and immortals is naturally not ordinary, and grandpa Gao said that they are miracle doctors, and this tea may also have the effect of prolonging life, otherwise they may live to be more than one hundred and twenty years old, and I naturally want to drink a few more cups.
After chatting for a while, we got to the point, and one of the slightly taller old men asked, "How did you two find here?" ”
Grandpa got up, arched his hand, and said: "Zhengyang found this place according to grandpa's instructions, there is a lot of disturbance, please forgive the two old men......"
The two old men nodded, and the slightly shorter old man smiled slightly: "That old guy is okay now, I haven't seen him for many years......"
"Drag the blessing of the two old men, my old man is very good, he has been practicing in retreat, he has not been out of the mountain for many years, and Zhengyang does not dare to disturb easily, if it is not for the difficulties encountered this time, he will not disturb his old man, ask the two grandfathers where they live......" The grandfather replied with a clear look.
At this time, I really couldn't help but want to ask a question that had been held in my heart for a long time, which was also the doubt that had always existed in my heart after meeting my grandfather, so I interjected: "Two old grandfathers...... Jiuyin has a question, I don't know if I should ask it......"
The two old men looked at me with a smile, and the slightly taller old man said: "This is like my own home, there is nothing to ask and not to ask, just say what you have to say." ”
I glanced at my grandfather beside me, and he seemed a little upset and thought I was a little talkative, but I still asked, "Two old grandfathers...... How did our ancestors help you? After so many years, my two grandfathers have always remembered my grandfather......"
As soon as these words came out, the smiles on the faces of the two old men disappeared, and when grandpa saw this, he scolded me: "Xiao Jiu, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, there is no place for you to speak here......"
Unexpectedly, the slightly taller old man waved his hand and said, "Zhengyang, don't be angry with Xiao Jiu, this kid, there is nothing that should not be asked about these things, since Xiao Jiu wants to know, it doesn't hurt for the old man to tell him......
