In the vast mountains, I didn't expect that there was a bluestone path here at the entrance to the mountain pass.

According to my thoughts, this kind of secret sect and village should be hidden in the depths of the vast mountains, even if there is no secret passage like the Snake Gate, at least it will not be so obvious to make a bluestone path, right?

I think things should not be so simple, and this path is not the key, the key is that there is a strange stone statue at the intersection of the path, at first glance, it looks like a cow, but when you look at it again, it looks like a tiger, the hair on its body stands on end, it looks sharp and has an alternative momentum, and there is a pair of wings on its body.

What is this? I watched it for a long time and didn't see it, and I thought of some kind of monster in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", but I didn't think it was right? But the master squinted at the carving several times, and then withdrew his gaze.

Because next to the carved statue sat an old man, dressed in typical Miao costumes, and at the moment he was also holding a dry tobacco in his mouth, smoking dry tobacco with half-squinted eyes, this is the key point of my attention and Master, how can there be someone sitting here early in the morning?

And what is more difficult to get is that his demeanor seems harmless, but in fact, he has a feeling of rejecting people thousands of miles away, and he simply refuses to talk to me and Master, is it possible that we have to pass directly past him?

I remembered last night, didn't someone come and watch us quietly? I only saw a back vaguely, it was an old man, was it this old man? I'm not too sure.

The atmosphere froze a little at this time, the master took out the dry tobacco stick, and then walked directly over, I quickly followed, and walked to the intersection in a few steps, seeing that I was about to pass through the strange carving and the old man, very abruptly, the old man who was originally sitting cross-legged seemed to inadvertently stretch out a foot to stop us.

I didn't pay attention, I almost stepped on the old man's leg, I exhaled angrily, raised my foot again, and prepared to step over, even if it was a little rude, I couldn't help it, it seems that the master also had the same idea.

But I didn't want to, as soon as Master and I raised our feet, the old man raised my feet a little higher, which happened to block the way for me and Master.

I feel a little angry in my heart, even if we don't let us pass, isn't that person able to communicate? Why don't you talk like this, it's just blocking the way for me and Master?

However, I also know a truth, that is, to respect the old man, so I took a deep breath and simply stepped aside, I wanted to see what this strange old man wanted to do? Compared to my performance, Master is more calm.

He smiled and went away, but sat down next to the old man, took out the dry tobacco leaves, and began to carefully fill the dry tobacco, which made the old man sitting next to the stone statue a little surprised, he opened his eyes, looked at my master curiously, and then closed them again.

My master didn't speak, as if he didn't see him, he lit a dry cigarette by himself I saw that the master smoked a dry tobacco, and I simply sat on this bluestone road, and it was not easy to carry such a big bag of luggage, and I was happy to rest.

Soon, the smell of dry tobacco wafted into the air, and the fragrance was naturally not as good as the kind of tobacco that my master used to smoke, but it was not bad.

Master is not particular about many things, even his clothes are messy a lot, but he is very particular about three things, which should be dry tobacco leaves, tea, and wine.

But good tea and good wine are rare, and this dry tobacco leaf has become the master's greatest enjoyment, so it is just a dry tobacco leaf that is casually selected in the escape, I think it is ordinary, in fact, it is not an ordinary product, plus his dry tobacco pole has been smoking the best tobacco leaves in the past, which naturally leaves a trace of fragrance in it, and it still smells very good when mixed, in short, it is much better than ordinary dry tobacco.

The master smoked a dry cigarette quietly, and from time to time dragged his military kettle to drink a few sips of water, looking very carefree.

That's it, after smoking about half a bag of cigarettes, the old man sitting next to him finally couldn't hold it back, very vaguely snorted a few times, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, it looked a little funny I had already noticed that detail, that is, this old man also held a dry tobacco, the cigarette stick was the same as my master's, it was rubbed strangely smooth, it seemed that he was also a dry tobacco lover, it was normal to have such a reaction, I secretly admired Jiang is still old and spicy, Master's mind is actually more delicate than mine, and he actually came up with such a crooked trick.

I think Master must have noticed the old man's subtle movements, but he just didn't say anything, and after more than a minute, the old man finally couldn't help it, opened his eyes, and began to fill the dry tobacco leaves, light the dry tobacco and start smoking.

The atmosphere was a little weird, the three of them didn't speak, and they didn't even know him, so they sat side by side on the bluestone pavement, looking like they were very intimate, what would happen next? No one has a score in their hearts.

I am a layman in dry tobacco, but no matter how layman I am, I can tell that the old man's dry tobacco leaves are much worse than my master's, and when mixed with the fragrance of my master's dry tobacco, it is simply a little pungent.

He may have also noticed this problem, took two puffs, a little tasteless, and looked at the master's dry tobacco stick and quietly swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, it is estimated that the heat is about the same, the master suddenly handed his dry tobacco stick to the old man, and said, "Can you come some?" ”

The old man looked at the master, his eyes were obviously tempted, but he still refused quite bluntly, he raised his dry tobacco stick, and said, "I have!" ”

The voice sounded hoarse, as if it had been yelling for a long time, and it had broken its throat.

The master was not angry in the face of this refusal, but smiled and smoked another big puff of dry tobacco in front of the old man, and then said after exhaling the smoke leisurely: "My tobacco leaves taste very special, can you have some?" As the saying goes, if you meet friends with wine, you want someone who understands wine. It's not bad for us to have a meeting with smoke, I think you also know how to smoke dry. ”

As he spoke, the master handed the dry tobacco stick to the old man again, his eyes were quite sincere, and the tobacco leaves were slowly burning in front of the old man, and the old man's throat moved twice, and finally he stretched out his hand, almost as if he had grabbed it, snatched the dry tobacco stick in the master's hand, and began to smoke it in large gulps.

Between the clouds and the mist, he also closed his eyes in enjoyment, looking intoxicated.

The master was not annoyed by the old man's rude and impolite actions, but when he looked at the old man with a smile, the master still had most of the bags of dry tobacco left, and it didn't take long for the old man to smoke it cleanly.

At this time, when he handed the dry tobacco stick back to my master, his eyes were softer, but more of a feeling of unfinished business, and he reluctantly licked his lips with his tongue.

"This smoke is strong?" Master asked.

The old man, who may have been a eater, had a soft mouth, and his stiff voice became much softer, and he said, "It's very good, I haven't smoked such good tobacco leaves." ”

Even though his voice was still hoarse and ugly, his tone was much softer.

Master smiled and patted the old man on the shoulder, but the old man didn't object, and then Master didn't say anything, stood up, turned around and walked towards the mountain.

That's what Master wants, you smoked a bag of dry tobacco from me, and you're embarrassed to stop me?

Sure enough, this time the old man didn't stretch out his legs to stop us, but when we had walked less than three steps, we suddenly heard the voice of the old man behind us: "You can't go up the mountain?" ”

Master and I turned around at about the same time and glanced at the old man, who looked a little embarrassed, but there was firmness in his eyes, and it seemed that he had made up his mind not to let us go up the mountain.

The master narrowed his eyes slightly, habitually touched the beard on his chin, even though he had shaved it clean, and then asked knowingly, "Why can't you go up the mountain?" ”

"In short, I just can't go up the mountain." The old man seemed to be a man of few words, and because he smoked a bag of dry tobacco from my master, his confidence seemed a little lacking.

"This mountain is contracted by your family? Let's go the other way. "Master really wants to go the other way, but in fact, the fact is that no family can contract such a big mountain, right?

As a result, Master and I took two steps down the mountain, and the old man was in a hurry, so he directly stretched out his hand to stop us, saying, "You can't go the other way." ”

In fact, in addition to this bluestone road, where is there a road? What does this old man mean?

At this time, the master changed his expression and said, "Brother, this is your mistake, right?" You can't have the whole mountain yours, can't you let people go up the mountain on another road? Besides, I'm kind to you, right? So the expensive dry tobacco leaves are also willing to share with you, you can't treat me like this, right? ”

At this time, I finally fully understood Master's intentions, he didn't want to go up the mountain with a bag of dry tobacco at all, he simply set up a bureau to let the old man get in by himself, he wanted to know more!
