Zhou Laohan told me that if I walked along the mountain road, I would be able to reach the village I was going to.

It's just that to get to that village, you need to go over several mountains, and the road is relatively long, with dozens of miles of mountain roads.

Looking at the rugged mountain road in front of me, and the huge mountains that straddled in front of me, I took a long breath, and it seemed that I had to go next.

Because Zhou Laohan sent him all the way, he was sent out for nearly ten miles, so it was stop-and-go, and there was a lot of delay, and when I officially parted with Zhou Laohan and said goodbye, most of the afternoon was almost over.

Mountain roads are indeed difficult to navigate, especially those that are rarely walked.

The mountain road is already rugged, and the mountain road is overgrown with weeds on both sides, if it were not for the mountain road often walked, I am afraid that people would have to get lost.

The mountains of Xiangxi are almost primeval forests, with dense trees, and once you enter the mountains, you can no longer see a single figure, and in the vast mountains, it is estimated that you can't find a second person.

I walked faster because I wanted to get out of the rugged mountain trail before dark.

However, even though I hurried and was exhausted, I still couldn't get out of the mountains when it was dark.

Once the sky in the mountains gets dark, it gets dark very quickly, and after a while, it is so dark that you can't see anything clearly.

Since I didn't have a flashlight on me, I had to find dead branches and leaves and burn a fire in the middle of the road, intending to wait for the moon to come out later before continuing on my way.

After waiting around the fire for two or three hours, the moonlight finally hung high in the air.

A bleak moonlight hung silently in the air, cloning the endless mountains with a silver coat.

Under the interweaving of the lonely moonlight and night fog, although the mountain road is full of shadows, you can still see the road clearly and can still walk.

From time to time there was a "woo" in the woods on the side of the road

I don't know if it's the call of a night bird or a strange cry from something else, and I'm walking alone on such a mountain road...... Night road, except for the strange screams in the forest in the distance, there is silence around him, and some except for the night wind, which is the footsteps of his own walking.

On such a big night, walking between such mountains and forests, if you ask me if I am afraid?

In fact, to say that you are afraid, that is to lose your identity, but to say that you are not afraid at all, it is impossible.

Rao I am a Mr. Yin and Yang, and I have seen a lot of ghosts and evil spirits, and I will still be a little nervous in my heart, after all, this environment gives people a feeling of insecurity.

I walked for a while, and suddenly there was a sigh in front of me.

I suddenly felt strange in my heart, how could there be people in this deep mountain and old forest in the middle of the night?

Curious, he hurriedly quickened his pace and hurried forward.

After turning a corner, I passed through a grove of trees, and then I saw a stone pavilion in front of me.

And in that stone pavilion, there was an old man sitting.

At this time, the old man was still sighing alone, as if he was helpless.

In the past, the ancestors would indeed build this kind of stone pavilion and the like on this kind of mountain road with a long distance, the purpose was to let passers-by get tired of walking, have a place to rest, or use it for shelter from the rain.

It's just that what I can't understand is, how can there be people in this place?

You must know that this mountain road is dozens of miles, the middle is full of mountains, deserted, now in the middle of the night three watches, what is an old man running here for?

Seeing this, my first reaction was to suspect that the other party was not human, and that maybe I had encountered something dirty.

So he hurriedly opened the eye of the sky, and when he saw it, this old man had three yang fires on his body, and it was obvious that this was indeed a big living person, and there would be no mistake.

Seeing that the other party was a big living person, I was relieved, so I walked over quickly, after all, I could see someone in this barren mountain and forest in the middle of the night, and my heart was much more solid.

Soon, I came to the stone pavilion, and saw that the stone pavilion was all made of large stones, and it looked a little old, and the long stone slabs were full of traces of time.

At the top of the stone pavilion is written "Lu Tei"

Two words, and then two lines of words were carved on the stone pillars on both sides, which looked like a couplet.

Shanglian is: three years of learning is not too much; The next link is: There is still more than enough to learn bad in March!

Looking at the stone pavilion with such a couplet written on it, I thought it was very interesting.

What this couplet says is true, if you think about it, if a person wants to learn well, it is difficult to learn well in three years.

But if a person wants to learn badly, where can he use it for three months, he may be able to learn bad in a few days.

This ancestor left such a sentence on this stone pavilion, perhaps because he wanted to remind passers-by all the time not to learn badly.

Thinking of this, I have to sigh that the ancestors who wrote this warning sentence are really well-intentioned.

At this time, I came to the old man, and I saw that the old man was about sixty years old, dressed in tattered clothes, like a homeless beggar.

When the old man saw someone coming, he looked at me curiously, and then he sighed alone.

Although I saw that he looked like a homeless beggar, it was not easy to meet someone in the mountains in the middle of the night, so I asked him: "Old man, why are you sitting on the ground alone in the middle of the night, why don't you go home?" ”

The old man said, "I can't walk, I can't get up when I fall to the ground when I'm old, alas." There is really no good person now, and no one has come to help him after sitting on the ground for a day. ”

As soon as I heard that he had fallen and couldn't get up, he had been sitting on the ground.

Thinking of the stone pavilion on the warning words of the ancestors, persuading people to be a good person, although in front of an old beggar, but in this barren mountains and forests fell to the ground and could not get up, if you are not kind enough to help it, it is estimated that tomorrow I don't know if there will be someone to pass.

Thinking of this, I hurried forward to help him up.

The old man looked very light, but when I reached out to help, it was surprisingly heavy, and I originally wanted to take him up with one hand, but when I pulled it, the old beggar did not move at all.

In the end, I had to pick him up with both hands.

After helping the old man to sit on a stone chair in the stone pavilion, I asked him where he lived and if he could still walk.

The old man told me that his house was on the other side of the woods, not far away.

I fell here during the day and injured my ankle, so I may not be able to walk.

I heard him say that his home is not far from here, just over in the woods, so I said why don't I send you back!

When the old man heard this, he smiled happily and said, "The young man is good, he is a good man, I have been waiting here for a day and a night, although there are passers-by, but no one is willing to come forward to help me, I never thought that there are people willing to help me in the middle of the night." In this way, if it is dark in the middle of the night, you will not leave, and come to my house to live together. ”

I said, "Isn't that okay?" How much trouble would that be for you? ”

The old man said, "It's rare to meet a kind young man like you, and I don't have any trouble, and I am grateful to you for helping me today." And look at you like this, you must have been on a mountain road for a day, you should be hungry, right? Why don't you come to my house and warm up some food to fill your stomach? ”

As soon as I said that I was hungry, I was really hungry with my chest against my back, and seeing that the old man was so enthusiastic and sincere, I naturally stopped refusing to shirk, and nodded in agreement immediately.

First, I was hungry, and secondly, the old man needed me to send him back.

The old man pointed to a small fork in the road ahead and told me that it would take a few minutes to reach his house.

However, just as I was about to carry the old man back to his house, a man suddenly came in front of me.

This is a young man, in his twenties, a few years younger than me, and soon walked to the side of the stone pavilion, and then said to the old man: "Old Luotou, yes, whenever you have passers-by in the past few years, you have pretended to fall down here to deceive people, and today you really met a kind person, and someone actually helped you." ”

As soon as I heard this, my brows furrowed, and it was obvious that the person who came should know the old man I had helped up, and also know the old man's name, which was Lao Luotou.

It's just that what surprised me was what the young man said, he said that whenever the old man passed by in the past few years, he would pretend to fall down here and wait for someone to help him.

At that time, I wondered, is what this young man said true?

If it's true, then why did this old man pretend to fall and wait for someone to help?

Are you trying to slander me?

To tell the truth, at this time, I couldn't help but raise my vigilance, thinking that this old man was strange.

So I didn't dare to carry him, so I immediately took a few steps back and stared at him
