My arms struggled to support the ground, my feet stared hard at the side grooves, my whole body slammed into the ground, and finally I climbed to the ground, I suddenly collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath, this guy tossed me for most of the day, and it was almost evening, I really can't imagine how humiliating it would be to stay in the trap for the night,,,

At this time, my stomach was hungry and thirsty, and my whole body and limbs were full of minor injuries, I felt that I was extremely embarrassed now, how could I still have that little bit of vigor at the beginning,

"Hmm." I was shocked, and I couldn't tell a hint of sweetness wafting through the air, which was very tempting, and I smacked my lips, almost certainly, "It's the smell of roasted sweet potatoes." ”

I don't know where the strength came from, I stood up with a stumble, and hurried to the source of the fragrance.

The sunset is gradually slanting, the night is quietly falling, the scenery and the breath of the air here are extraordinarily peaceful and quiet, but there is more or less mixed with a hint of unusually dry meaning, as if it has not rained for a long time,

In the distance, beside a mountain spring stream, a faint wisp of smoke rises, and a figure is sitting leaning on an old tree trunk next to the smoke, because the sky is getting darker, I can't see what he looks like, but I can be sure that he is roasting sweet potatoes in front of him, hehe,

I solemnly straightened my clothes, and then strode forward, my eyes first fell on the smoke and the wooden scoop on the side, the wooden scoop was still full of a scoop of mountain spring water, and the smoke here was close to extinguishing, it seemed that I came at the right time, I didn't dare to slack off, I immediately clasped my fists and saluted, respectfully: "This ,,,, yes, yes, it's you,." ”

This person turned out to be a strange old man I met in the Land Temple of Huilong Valley, this really shocked me, I didn't expect him to be on the same road with me,

The old man looked up at me, his face was happy, and he said with a smile: "Little doll, I calculated that you would pass by here, so I specially waited for you here, hehe." ”

"Wait,,, wait for me." I looked the old man up and down in disbelief, his body bones were even faster than me, thinking about it, the teleportation magic he used last time was enough to show that he was a hidden master, I scratched the back of my head embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "Thank you for still thinking about me, but I don't know what the old man wants." ”

If I still understand that I am calling someone old man at this moment, then I am really stupid and helpless.

The old man waved his hand and quipped: "My old man is the easiest to get along with, and he can go anywhere, but first he has to have something to eat." ”

I smiled bitterly in my heart, it is the most difficult to get along with, I rob people's clothes at every turn and extort people's money, and it is the easiest to ,,, but I am really hungry now, my eyes are staring directly at the bonfire in front of the old man, and I immediately thought of a little more, this time I can't fall into the old man's trap, I must make it clear in advance, after thinking about it, I smiled and said: "Old-timer, you are roasting sweet potatoes here." ”

The old man smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's probably ripe for a while, little doll, do you want to eat, just eat if you want, we meet again can be regarded as a chance creation, maybe we will meet again in the future, hehe." ”

I swallowed my saliva violently, although I was impatient, I still suppressed the impulse in my heart, and asked carefully: "Senior, how much does your sweet potato ,,,." ”

After asking, I regretted it again, now I have no money, if the old man asks for money again, I really don't have the money to give.

How do you know that the old man smiled even more happily: "The little doll has learned to be smart, don't worry, my old man had better speak, just give ten yuan for these two sweet potatoes, but it doesn't matter if you don't have money, you can do it on credit first, and then give it to my old man when you have it, hehe." ”

"Ahh I opened my eyes wide and shouted blankly, "Just two sweet potatoes,,, for ten yuan." ”

In order to prevent the old man from blackmailing, I hurriedly retreated, for fear that I would be touched again, and it would be a lot of money.

The old man smiled leisurely and elegantly: "Is it very expensive, you must know that if my two sweet potatoes are sold in the market, it will be fifty yuan, and some people will buy it or not, little doll, look at the village in the distance, if you think you can eat it, just go, alas, I will give you preferential treatment for the sake of our reunion, go and go, if you want to eat for free, go and find it yourself." ”

I followed the old man's point, and sure enough, I saw a mountain village under the hill, but how could the old man expect that there was no food in Dingshan Village, I don't believe it, as long as someone lives, there is still no food.

But I'm really hungry and faint, even if I don't have much strength left to go to that mountain village, besides, the old man can also take these two sweet potatoes on credit first, or eat them first, ten yuan, and pay him back later.

In this way, I nodded solemnly and said: "Senior, I want your sweet potato, but there is no evidence, don't you need to write a note on credit." ”

When the old man heard this, he immediately waved his hand happily and said: "No, no, you little doll, didn't I say it earlier, my old man is the best to speak, and besides, I believe that you will not be untrustworthy, hehe." ”

I was overjoyed, and I hurriedly opened the sweet potato, and began to devour it regardless of three, five, six, seven, eight, but soon I stopped, just because I was too anxious to eat, I choked, straightened my neck and rolled my eyes, hurriedly grabbed the water scoop on the side, and said urgently: "Drink saliva and send it." ”

Just as I tried to swallow it, the old man smiled unhurriedly and said, "Drink it, drink it, this scoop of water is also prepared for you, but it is a little more expensive, twenty yuan a scoop, you can also owe it first, drink as much as you want." ”

"Poof~~~"

I just drank a big mouthful of water and suddenly couldn't help but squirt, almost choked me into the trachea, looked at the old man again, I only saw a plague god, and looked at the hand-only less than half of the ladle of water, I only feel that I am the most aggrieved person in the world, two sweet potatoes ten yuan, one scoop of water twenty yuan, this ,,, I stood up suddenly and pointed at the old man and shouted: "Stinky old man, I have put up with you for the money of sweet potatoes, but you obviously scooped up this water in that stream, and you actually asked for twenty yuan, you extort it,." ”

The old man lazily glanced at the stream not far away, and then said with a smile: "Then why don't you go there to get water, but instead drink the water that my old man worked hard to scoop up, and now that you have drunk it, but you owe my old man twenty yuan, which adds up to thirty yuan, hehe." ”

"I'm ,,。" I grabbed the sweet potato in one hand and the water scoop in the other, I was really speechless, hey, I was slammed by this stinky old man again, I couldn't get angry, I took a sip of the water scoop angrily, and said: "Anyway, I owe so much money, just drink it, hum." ”

Drink it in one gulp, for fear of missing a few drops, but this is bought for twenty yuan,,,

Two sweet potatoes and a scoop of underwater belly, I feel like I'm about to be strung to death, of course, most of the stomach is full, seeing that I eat well, the old man slowly stood up, first stretched his waist, and then said with a smile: "Remember the law, there is no money to make a living, how can you have a small life to build the avenue, remember that you still owe me thirty yuan, and when you have it, you have to pay me back." ”

"I ,,。" At this time, my scalp was numb, as if I owed a life, alas, I nodded and said, "My Maoshan disciple, I have faith in my word, and I will definitely pay you back when I say that you will pay you back, stinky old man,,。 ”

The last sentence came out in a very low voice, and even I couldn't hear it clearly, but the old man suddenly blew his beard and glared: "What a stinky old man, stinky boy, if you dare to scold my old man secretly, I will increase interest." ”

"Ah, and interest." I seemed to have eaten a big bitter gourd, I couldn't eat it and couldn't spit it out, so I hurriedly begged for mercy bitterly: "Senior, you old man should raise your noble hand and don't worry about it like the younger generation." ”

The old man softened slightly when he heard this, and nodded and said: "Well, my old man had better speak, this account is remembered first, thirty yuan, I'll go to the front and wait for you first, and when you have the money to pay me back, let's go~~~"

Under the moonlit night, I looked at the old man's distant back in a daze, until I disappeared from sight, I came back to my senses in a daze, and slapped my thigh violently: "What is this?" ”

I went down the hill in a huff, and came to the edge of this small and not too small village, and although I had just eaten something, I was too tired to hurry, and I was tossed half dead in the hunting trap, and now I just wanted to find a family to spend the night, and then hurry tomorrow morning,

But the strange thing is that it doesn't take long to get dark, why don't every household light up, the strange thing is not that the lights are lit, but that some people also have open courtyard doors, and the doors of the halls are also open, but there is no light in the house, I shook my head and smiled bitterly: "They are all people who live a poor life, alas, even lighting the lamp is afraid of costing oil." ”

There is no dog barking in the village, this also makes me a little surprised, generally the mountain villages that rely on the mountains do not have dogs to watch the house, but also for vigilance, there is a beast or something into the village will not be caught off guard, but the village is really not,

But there is a voice that makes me stunned, how can there be so many cries in the seemingly quiet and peaceful mountain village, the cries of women, the cries of the elderly, and the wows of children, all of which make my heart tighten, but I don't know what they are for.

I knocked on the door of a house, the door was greeted by a middle-aged man, first surprised to ask me where I came from what I was doing, I told the truth, the middle-aged man also slightly introduced their village and their home, it turned out that this village is called alpaca village, not because there are many people in their village surnamed sheep, but because of the mountain and named, the surrounding hills are like alpacas, and most of them are so, so the ancestors of this village also casually called an alpaca village,
