My eyes lit up, and I couldn't help but Tian Tian's dry lips, isn't there a water source nearby?!

Day and night on the road, has long been hungry and thirsty, even if there is dry food to satisfy the stomach, but no water to quench my thirst is also made me extremely uncomfortable, listen carefully, the sound is really the sound of the waterfall falling, my heart is happy, I hurriedly rushed into the nearby mountains and forests, towards the water source to find - to say that this is not Zhou Mountain, half of everything in the world lives on it, flowers and trees, birds and beasts, and every section of the mountainside, there are many mountain people, the so-called relying on the mountain to eat the mountain and rely on the water to draft water, if you put aside the world, here is completely a wonderful paradise…… Bypassing a mountain forest, in front of a mountain wall fault, I saw a waterfall falling vertically, I don't know how long this waterfall appeared, in short, there was a huge pool of water below, white splashes, hovering in the waterhole for a long time, before winding down the stream.

I smiled, it's really an endless road, I never thought about it, this is what you want!

Rolling up my sleeves, I hurried to the waterhole, but before I could bend down to get water, a voice suddenly came from around me: "Little brother...... What are you doing? Don't scare my fish......"

The voice is a little old, and it is very low, as if it is afraid that the loud voice will disturb something.

I was stunned, looked up, only to see a thin old man not far away, dressed in gray and white clothes, as if blending with the color of the surrounding rocks, the old man was holding a slender bamboo pole, one end of the bamboo pole, there was a slender white line, straight into the pool, and the old man himself, sitting alone on a stone, quietly looking at the white line in the water.

It seems that I really came here to fish, but here is clearly the halfway of the mountainside, the water flows here and falls, there are some small fish, I am afraid that I have to be dizzy if I am smashed like this, and there is a splash all around this pool, the water is shaking a lot, it is not the best place for fishing at all, but seeing the old man's preoccupied expression, I smiled bitterly, he is really energetic......

I was stunned, this ...... There is obviously water to drink, but the old man is stopped from approaching, which is really unpleasant!

Walking quickly to the old man's side, I lowered my voice slightly and said, "This old man, I passed by here, I just wanted to drink saliva and leave." ”

As I spoke, I was about to step forward, but the old man immediately stretched out his hand to stop me, and the old man blew his beard and said, "Little brother, don't you see that I am fishing?" Just stretched out your head like this, in case the fish sees it and freaks out, I can't catch a fish, will you pay me? ”

"Uh......" I looked up at the waterfall, and was speechless, the sound of the waterfall falling was deafening, if the fish were really so timid, I was afraid that such a movement would have scared them away, I would have made some water to drink, but it didn't work, the old man ......, "Uncle, then, then I'll go down and find some stream water to drink."

Sighing depressedly, I stepped on a stream and walked down, and stopped not far away, but when I bent down to drink water, I suddenly stood up, and saw a very smelly shoe rushing down the stream, I just wanted to retreat, only to hear the old man's hurried voice come down: "Little brother, help me pick up my shoes, my shoes fell into the water!" ”

I was stunned, and rushed down enough, but the water somehow got down, the more urgent it became, and I had no choice but to quicken my pace, and pick up a branch at hand, and finally hooked up the old man's shoes at a bend.

But the smell still makes me frown, and I don't know how many years the old man hasn't washed his feet, really, alas!

With such a heavy thing in my hand, where was I still in the mood to drink water, I immediately turned around and climbed up, and this coming and going, it was actually delayed for more than half an hour.

When he came to the edge of the pool, the old man smiled and said, "Thank you, little brother, you are really a good person!" ”

I frowned and held my breath, squeezing out a smile with difficulty, and reached out to hand the old man the shoe, and as the old man took it, I finally turned around and retched......

Squatted on the stone, rested for a long time, and barely came back to his senses, and at this time, the old man suddenly threw the bamboo pole in his hand aside, and blew his beard and said: "I don't want to fish at the door of my house and I don't say I can't catch one, this broken place really disappoints me, oops......"

I was stunned and asked, "Uncle, where is your home?" ”

When the old man saw me, his mood suddenly improved a lot, and he smiled slightly: "My house is on the mountain, but I am a little tired of fishing in the waterhole at the door of my house, so I want to try it in a different place, hehe!" ”

Hearing this, my eyes suddenly widened, and I said in a trembling voice: "Living in the mountains? So, then you're an old fairy?! ”

The old man hurriedly glanced around, and said hurriedly: "Old fairy? Where? Where is it? Oh...... Is the old fairy that the little brother said is me? Hahaha! I'm just an ordinary mortal, where is the old immortal, you really know how to joke. ”

I didn't believe it, so I asked, "Then how do you say that you live in the mountains?" ”

When the old man heard this, he smiled happily: "It turns out that you are because of this, little brother, you don't know, although my home is on the mountain, it is not just halfway up the mountain, and it is at least more than thirty miles away from the top of this Buzhou Mountain, hehe!" ”

"Huh?"

I raised my head in shock, looked at the distant top of the mountain, and muttered, "There are still more than thirty miles, this is too far......

The old man smiled again: "Little brother, what I just said is the distance from my house, if this is the place......

By the way, I didn't ask the old man how far away his house was, and I immediately asked, "How far is it from here to your house?" ”

The old man stretched out a finger slightly and said, "Not much, not much, it's only ten miles away." ”

"Ahem~~~"

I couldn't help coughing twice, this old man is joking, there are still ten miles from here to his house, so isn't it more than forty miles from the top of the mountain? This, that's four days away, no! If today is over, there will be three days, and in three days, how can I climb to the top of a mountain forty miles high?

In a hurry, I hurriedly poured a few mouthfuls of water, and was just about to turn around and leave, when the old man suddenly stopped me and asked, "Little brother, do you want to go to the top of the mountain to ask for immortal medicine?" ”

I nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, the old mother at home is seriously ill in bed, I am going to the top of Buzhou Mountain this time, looking for immortals to seek immortal medicine, to treat the old mother, uncle, I don't have much time, so I won't bother, so I will leave!" ”

After speaking, I was about to leave, but I was stopped by the old man, who immediately stood up and said, "Then let's go......"

I was stunned, and when I saw that the old man also followed me, I was surprised: "Uncle, you don't fish anymore?" ”

The old man smiled and said, "It's not early, I should go back, little brother, if you don't dislike it, why don't we go together?" ”

"This ......" I glanced up and down at the old man, he is so old, his legs and feet will definitely not be fast, if I walk with him, it is estimated that it will be difficult to reach the top of the mountain even if I walk for a month, but since the old man said it, I can't refuse, and said: "Then, well, let's leave immediately!" ”

I turned around again to leave, but I was stopped by the old man again, and I almost cried urgently, and said, "Uncle, what's the matter with you?" ”

The old man glanced down and said with a smile: "Little brother, look at my body, it is easy to go down the mountain, but you can go up the mountain...... It's hard...... If you don't dislike it, why don't you be a good person to the end and carry me for a ride? ”

"Huh? This ...... "I made a mistake again, if I carry the old man on my back, I will definitely not be able to go fast, then the time will be greatly delayed, but seeing that the old man is also telling the truth, it is easy to go down the mountain and difficult to go up the mountain, not to mention rushing to the old man's house from here, there are ten miles of mountain road, I thought about it, my heart was horizontal, squatted down and said: "Uncle, I will carry you away!" ”

On the one hand, I was worried about the old man's safety, and if one accidentally fell him down again, it would be a great sin, and on the other hand, I was worried about how to get to the top of the mountain in the rest of the time......

"Uncle, why did you run so far to catch a fish? If you don't meet me, won't you have to walk for days to get home? ”

I comforted the old man all the way, don't go so far in the future, there may be some jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains, in case the old man is eaten again, for a fishing, it will not be possible.

The old man agreed, and said, "Little brother, you are really a good person!" ”

I drummed up, my feet kept speeding up, although it was slower than when I walked, but I could only barely persevere, estimated that I walked about three miles of mountain road, but I had seen the sunset, yes, the day has passed, and now there are only three days left!

"Oops! Little brother is not good! ”

The old man suddenly called out anxiously, I didn't know what was going on, so I hurriedly stopped, put the old man down, and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong?" What happened? ”
