Chapter 27, Ah Jiu in the Green Hole
Xiao Guan said: "Senior Bai, I'm about to set off." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoI've been here for a long time, and I always feel like I'm getting old all of a sudden. Twenty years ago, Xiao Ning and I were the same age. β
Time is a sharp knife, slash after slash. It is hard to carve a green boy into a man with vicissitudes.
Master Bai patted Xiao Guan on the shoulder and said, "Your time scale is still different from mine. Not to mention twenty years, it is a hundred years, in my eyes, it is also a moment. Western story, a man sinned against their god. Every day, I push a boulder from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, but when I am about to reach the top of the mountain. The boulder will roll down on its own again. Day after day, the stone was pushed over and over again. β
Xiao Guan nodded and said, "I have also read this story, and the protagonist is called Sisyphus. His punishment will never stop. β
Master Bai said: "Actually, everyone is the same, they all push boulders to climb mountains day after day. For the man named Sisyphus, the scenery he saw was different, and his mood would be different every day. β
Xiao Guan listened to Master Bai's explanation, thought secretly, and bowed with both hands. said: "Thank you for the teachings of Senior Bai. Xiao Guan's vision and mood couldn't be opened, and he couldn't read the changes in it, but it made the seniors laugh. The depression that was originally shrouded in Xiao Guan's eyes. Under Master Bai's order, it actually dispersed.
The story told by Master Bai is to tell Xiao Guan that the Worm King, you are constantly protecting your people, so you pushed the boulder from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
But this thing is never done, it has to be done endlessly. But none of this matters, the scenery you see along the road will be different, and the wind, flowers, snow and moon of the four seasons will be different.
Master Bai knew that Xiao Guan's sentence "I'm tired" was sad because Xiao Guan felt that he was always doing work repeatedly, but the purpose of protecting Miao people would never be completed.
Master Bai smiled, "I didn't teach anything, I just told a story. It doesn't matter if you have the name of the Worm King or not. At least I know that in the future, you will still care about the Miao people and Gu worms in Miao Jiang. That's enough. β
When Xiao Guan heard this, he bowed with both hands.
People are almost gone.
Ma Yuan's body was wrapped in a black cloth. Ma Dan arranged for a few people to accompany the visitors from Bailongtong to transport them back. When a few people came over to say goodbye to Xiao Guan.
"Ma Yuan is amazing." Xiao Guan's eyes were a little red.
Seeing that Xiao Guan couldn't bear it, Ma Dan said, "We will be buried in a few days, and we will go to pay tribute." β
Xiao Guan nodded. Watching Ma Yuan's body leave.
Ah Jiu, who was searching on the side, suddenly said: "Xiao Ning, that Ruan Canghai is gone, could it be that he sneaked away last night?" β
"I see that he has been poisoned by corpses, and the snake venom in his body is also very heavy, so it is very likely that he will follow the corpse keeper." I thought for a moment and said, "Turned into a zombie!" β
Ruan Canghai was bitten by a nocturnal corpse, and the corpse poison invaded his body, and it was very likely that the corpse would transform into a zombie. It's just that he disappeared into the vast snowfield, with no way to look for it, and no way to confirm all kinds of conjectures.
After searching the neighborhood for a while, I had to give up.
Xiao Guan shouted: "Xiao Ning, you have a good complexion. It seems that Miss Zhang of the Heavenly Master Mansion of Longhu Mountain is indeed not simple. I thought I would pick you up later, but I didn't expect you to come back first. β
"Zhang Xuanwei is indeed very good, when she was in Longhu Mountain, she cared about me very much. Later, I had a fight with the ferocious insects, and the soil eggs helped," I said, "until I was eighteen years old, the fierce insects would not attack again, and by the time I was eighteen." We're going to compete with each other. β
Xiao Guan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said happily: "Great." With this time, there will be a lot more opportunities. β
"By the way, what about my aunt and aunt?" I asked with concern, "And what about the old man and the long braids?" β
Since I came to the Green Hole yesterday, I wanted to ask this question, but I never had the chance, and I only have the opportunity now.
"After we came back from Longhu Mountain, we tried to find the innocent people, that is, the ancestors of the Xiao family. It's a pity that I found a lot of places, but there is no news of naΓ―ve people. Xiao Guan said, "At that time, we thought that the innocent people might be hiding in a cave somewhere and have been sleeping in the cave for many years. β
"And then?"
"Many years ago, I met the innocent people with Little Snake in Nanmengxi, the hinterland of Zhongnan Mountain, and went there to look for it." Xiao Guan's eyes narrowed slightly, "It's a pity that there are no innocent people there." It took a few months to go back to Camellia Mountain. The little snake said that the innocent people might be in the territory of Leigong Mountain in Guizhou, so he went there to look for it. β
"Did my grandma and Lao Gudu go together?" I asked.
"Yes, Lao Gu and Long Pigtails have lived in Lei Gong Mountain before, take your grandma with you. You can also pick some herbs for your grandma to cure her eyes. I was going to go over, but the Thirteen Mountains suddenly started a fighting insect meeting. We separated, and they went all the way to Lei Gong Mountain to find the innocent people. I went all the way alone to participate in the insect fight! Xiao Guan said.
I thought to myself, "This ancestor of the Xiao family is innocent and seems to be proficient in medical skills. Second Uncle, they originally planned to find a naΓ―ve person, so they went to the Heavenly Master's Mansion to pick me up, but I came back early. β
I asked again: "This is Guizhou, the mountains are high and the road is long, how long can they come back?" β
Xiao Guan thought for a moment and said, "If you successfully find the innocent people, you can come back soon, let's go back to Camellia Mountain and wait for them." You can rest assured, Lao Gu is familiar with the topography of Guizhou for a generation, and nothing will happen. It would be even better if you could find a naΓ―ve person. β
I thought for a while and said, "It's best that Lao Gu can heal my grandma's eyes!" β
Ma Dan and Ah Jiu have already packed up their things and urged us to go on the road.
Madou had been standing in front of the green hole, looking inside with a pair of curious eyes, and asked, "Abba, why does this cave glow green?" β
Ma Dan shook his head and said, "I don't know!" β
Xiao Guan walked over, touched Madou's head, and said, "There is a huge green water tree growing in this cave, which emits green light, and there is a hole of green snakes. That's why it glows green, if you want to go in and see it. I'll take you inside and have a look. β
Madou glanced at Ma Dan and showed a pleading voice.
Ma Dan said: "Big brother, it's important to hurry." It's just a cave, don't look at it. Xiao Guan took Madou's hand and strode into the green hole.
There is a unique aromatic smell throughout the green hole, and the walls are covered with rattan. Walking further inside, the temperature gradually warmed up. Some of the rattans are hung with sleeping green snakes.
Ah Jiu saw the green snake in a hole, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and even his breathing became inexplicably short.
We walked through the long cave and came down from a high platform to see an open cave with a huge green tree in the middle of the cave.
The green tree is large in diameter, and it is surrounded by dense green canes. The rattan is of different thicknesses, twisting and winding around the green trees.
There is a faint green light in the green trees, which is completely different from the white world outside the cave, and has a different style.
"There are such amazing plants in the world!" Madou was surprised.
The light floats along the green vines, and the leaves on the green vines sway slightly.
The most shocking thing is that the whole green tree is covered with green snakes, and all the green snakes are sleeping.
"Is this Zhu Yeqing?" I asked.
"It's not! These are just some non-venomous emerald snakes that are very timid and introverted. It is longer than the bamboo. He likes to eat tree frogs, earthworms, and rain frogs. However, it is only blue-black earthworms, and does not eat red earthworms. Ah Jiu replied.
Ah Jiu knows the habits of snakes very well, and can tell at a glance that these green snakes are non-venomous emerald green snakes, and even say what they like to eat.
Ah Jiu slowly stepped forward and reached out to touch the emerald green snake on the tree.
A few emerald green snakes were surprised, their black eyes rolled, staring at Ah Jiu, and their bodies shrank back a little. But it didn't take long for the timid emerald green snake to move again and approach Ah Jiu.
Ah Jiu himself felt incredible, and did not stop the approaching emerald green snake. Soon, one, two, three emerald green snakes woke up, they slipped quickly, and finally all wrapped around Ah Jiu's body.
Ah Jiu almost turned into a "snake man", with only a pair of black eyes slipping.
The white centipede that was originally following Ah Jiu also slipped out of Ah Jiu's body and landed on Ah Jiu's black hair.
A faint green light faintly emanated from Ah Jiu's body. Blending with the light of the entire green hole. The two complement each other perfectly.
I was stunned, these terrifying green snakes in front of me actually climbed on Ah Jiu's body without the slightest fear.
I shook my head, slowly moved my steps, and reached to the side, reaching out and touching a sleeping emerald snake. The emerald serpent sensed my touch and ran away.
And all the emerald green snakes got along quietly with Ah Jiu and became a whole.
Those shy and introverted emerald green snakes seem to have a natural connection with Ah Jiu by nature.
I looked at Master Bai curiously and asked in a low voice, "Why is the green snake afraid of me but not Ah Jiu?" β
Master Bai shook his head and said, "I've seen a lot of strange things. But I can't explain what I'm doing. Let's just say, it's amazing. β
Ah Jiu closed his eyes and turned around, his body swung a few times, and the emerald green snake slipped down from him and returned to the green tree.
Ah Jiu looked at those green snakes, and there was infinite tenderness in his eyes.
"The first time I saw Ah Jiu, I felt that he was different. Now it seems that it is really different. The snake spirit slipped out at some point, and was also surprised.
Ah Jiu stepped back from the front and asked, "Master Bai, why aren't they afraid of me, and I'm not afraid of them?" β
Ah Jiu himself thought this thing was incredible, so it was really incredible.
"Probably...... You're special, aren't you? "Master Bai gave an answer that was not an answer.
We came out of the green hole and were delayed for some time. Fortunately, the wind and snow have stopped, and even the wind has become much lighter.
We set off from the open space below the mountain peak and turned back to Camellia Mountain.
Ah Jiu thought all the way, until he returned to Camellia Mountain, but he hadn't figured it out. What is the connection between him and the green snake? Come to the Sadwart.
Qingyatong has almost been deserted, and Ma Dan and Ma Dou stayed in Camellia Mountain to rest for a few days. We were quiet for the time being, just waiting for Chinese New Year's Eve to arrive.
I also look forward day and night that my grandma can come back from Guizhou as soon as possible.
A few days before Chinese New Year's Eve, a letter was delivered from Bailongtong. There were only five words written on the letter: Please return to Zhao after the end.
