Chapter 399: The Mystery of Lao Li's Background
Finally, the rain outside gradually lightened, it was already noon, we hastily had some lunch, originally I wanted to eat braised pork, but after listening to the old man's opinion that "man is a cross between an ape and a pig", I also had no appetite.
After we had lunch, the rain outside finally stopped, but because the rain was so heavy, the rain rushed down from the mountain, causing rivers to appear on the hillside.
The tourists of the hotel were trapped in the room for most of the day by the heavy rain, as if they were suffocating, and as soon as the rain stopped, they all came out immediately. A few of us also left the hotel and walked to a small square in front of us, breathing in the fresh and sweet air, but I noticed that the old Lu did not come out.
This small square, in fact, is a flat land in front of the hotel, more than 20 meters square, and then go out is the endless peaks, the ground of the small square, paved with smooth stone slabs, washed by the rain, spotless, people have a bare foot on the urge to step on it, we stretch our limbs, stretch our waist, temporarily forget about the disturbances in front of us, enjoy this moment of peace.
"How about we go and see that old Li?" Madman Six suddenly asked the old man. His words immediately pulled us back to reality - yes, this is the best time to contact that old Li.
Old man Ouyang groaned slightly, and immediately agreed happily. So, we followed him and walked to Lao Li's residence.
Lao Li's residence is in the mountain behind the hotel, although the straight-line distance is not too far, but it has to be bypassed from the mountain in front. Although the rain has stopped, it is still cloudy, walking on the mountain road, the cool breeze is very pleasant, but at this moment, we are not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery after the rain.
The mind is full of: Does that Lao Li have anything to do with the blind man? And in the thunderstorm, what happened to Lao Li's series of strange behaviors?
We vaguely feel that this Lao Li is extraordinary.
After walking for about forty or fifty minutes, I went around the hill in front of me to the back, and the mountain became steep and steep. We walked into the mountain for about 20 minutes, and saw two tiled houses in front of us, built against the mountain, very low, only about two meters high, the old man said, this is Lao Li's residence.
We walked to the door, only to find that this door is very low and narrow, less than one meter seven high, about half a meter wide, ordinary people have to lower their heads to enter and exit, it is a small single door, and the wooden door is covered with moss, in the back of the cliff, this tile house is like a small shack.
The old man walked over, knocked on the door and shouted, "Lao Li, are you at home?" I'm Lao Ou. ”
After shouting several times in a row, there was no movement in the house, could it be that we were not at home, we knocked on the door again and shouted for a while, but there was still no response from inside.
The old man turned around, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Maybe you're not at home, or you don't want to see us at all, alas, there's no way, go back." ”
Finally came to visit, we didn't want to go, Xiao Lei walked to the wooden door, did not knock on the door, but gently pushed it with his hand, but the door did not move, it must have been resisted from the inside.
At this time, the "Monkey Eagle" in Ouyang's old man's arms suddenly called twice, and the old man was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "'Monkey Eagle' has a way to open the door." "We were immediately surprised and delighted, and quickly set our eyes on the 'Monkey Eagle'.
I saw that the old man gently put the 'monkey eagle' on the ground, and the 'monkey eagle' squatted down, grunted a few times in his throat, and a stream of red things was pulled out of his buttocks, and the thing that was pulled down was exactly the kind of shit that the old man had said before-this kind of light red shit was only pulled once a month, and this was also the kind of soil where the "monkey face flower" grew.
But what we don't understand is why the "monkey eagle" suddenly excretes this kind of at this time, and what does this have to do with opening this door?
Just when we were surprised, we suddenly saw thin insects crawling out of the cracks in the stones next to them, these insects were as thick as earthworms, but they were all white, and they were seven or eight centimeters long, and they wriggled and quickly crawled towards the of the "monkey eagle".
When the old man saw these insects, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said to us: "This kind of insect is called 'rice strip worm', and it often eats the feces of various birds, and there are many of them in this mountain, especially after the rain.
In our mountain, there is a kind of peculiar woodpecker, this woodpecker has colorful feathers, very beautiful, if caught, it can be sold at a very high price in the market, and this 'rice worm' is the favorite food of the colorful woodpecker, so this rice worm has become the best bait to catch the colorful woodpecker. I now know how to open the door of the 'Monkey Eagle', so let's hide for a while. ”
We were so confused that we suddenly talked about rice strip worms and colorful woodpeckers?
But he also knew that the old man must have a reason for letting us do this, so he quickly hid behind a boulder next to him, and after a while, three birds flew from a distance, with bright feathers all over their bodies, and their beaks were very long, which was exactly the kind of colorful woodpecker that the old man said.
It turned out that they smelled the smell of this rice worm and flew over to eat it.
These rice worms also reacted quite quickly, and just pecked two of them, the rest quickly got into the house through the crack in the door below.
As a result, the woodpeckers seemed to be crazy and tried to get in under the door, but the gap under the door was too small for the woodpeckers to get in. They first used their sharp claws to frantically gouge the ground under the door, but the ground was stone, so how could it be moved?
Seeing that this didn't work, they changed their tactics and pecked at the lower part of the wooden door with their mouths.
So close to see the woodpecker pecking wood, I was the first time, I didn't expect the woodpecker's beak, so sharp, not a while, three woodpeckers, actually the door at the bottom of a piece of wood, to chisel off, there was a big hole under the door, three woodpeckers just wanted to get in, at this time, "monkey eagle" suddenly a strange cry, immediately rushed over, three woodpeckers saw a big eagle appeared, frightened immediately flew away.
At this moment, we know the "open door strategy" of the "Monkey Eagle", which is really surprised and admired, this "Monkey Eagle" is indeed amazing!
In this way, the "monkey eagle" easily got into the hole pecked by the woodpecker, and after a while, he heard a commotion in the door, Xiao Lei pushed the door again, and the door opened.
It turned out that the inside of the door was plugged in with a latch, and after the "monkey eagle" entered, the latch was pulled open with a sharp claw, allowing us to open the door easily.
There was a pungent stench and damp musty smell in the house, which made people almost breathless, and we quickly covered our noses, it was very dark inside, there was not a single window, and on the wall, there was only a dim oil lamp. In this room, there is no electricity, and it is as if we are back in time to decades ago.
After our eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness in the house, we noticed that the house built on the mountain was actually connected to a cave in the mountain, and this house was actually an extension of the cave.
After walking a few meters inside, you entered the cave, and on the cave wall, every short distance, there was an oil lamp, dim, damp, and fishy smell, which made people very uncomfortable.
Lao Li's residence, Ouyang is not the first time to come, he skillfully took us around, and arrived at Lao Li's "bedroom", saying that it is a bedroom, in fact, it is a natural stone house in a cave, the room is not big, just enough to put the next big bed.
And that Lao Li, who was lying on the bed on his back with his limbs wide open, was snoring like thunder, and there were two wine bottles thrown next to him, apparently drunk.
Through the dim light, we see that this Lao Li's figure is indeed very similar to that of a tall blind man, tall, short, fat and thin, and even the slightly hunched back, all of which are too similar, but the appearance is not the same, his face is much richer than that of the tall blind man.
Old man Ouyang walked over, shook Lao Li vigorously and said, "Old drunkard, wake up, I'm here, wake up." After shouting a few times, Lao Li slowly opened his eyes, and saw that it was Old Man Ouyang, so he slowly sat up, he looked at a few of us casually, yawned lazily and said, "It turned out that you are an old immortal, why did you come, and you brought so many people here, do you want to raid my home?" ”
Looking at the way the two talked, we knew that the two of them knew each other very well and often joked, and we relaxed a little.
"You dirty and smelly old drunkard, saving so much money has a fart, no children and no daughters, learn from me, spend money if you have it, it's all at this age, maybe when you kick your legs, it's over, you really can't think about it."
Old man Ouyang was also unceremonious when he spoke to Lao Li, it seemed that the two were used to fighting.
Seeing us covering our noses and frowning one by one, Old Man Ouyang knew that we couldn't stand the smell in the cave, so he dragged Lao Li to the outside of the cave.
When we walked out of the house, we gulped in the fresh air outside, but I still had a lot of doubts in my heart: Lao Li not only looked like a tall blind man, but also lived in a dark, damp, and rancid environment, which would be unbearable for ordinary people, and if he lived in it for a long time, his health would be seriously threatened, while the tall blind would not. Moreover, we all know that the disguise skills of the tall blind man have reached the realm of supernatural beauty, so we will not categorically conclude that Lao Li is not a tall blind man because of his different appearance.
When I went outside, I also took a special look at Lao Li's eyes, and found that although his eyes were a little cloudy, they did not have the shadow of a tall blind man at all, according to our past experience, the tall blind man only had his eyes that could not be disguised, but this alone can completely negate the possibility that he is a high blind man?
I was still a little uneasy, peeking at Crazy Six, he was also staring at Lao Li, I knew that he was observing Lao Li's meridian characteristics. Will he find anything out of the ordinary?
Lao Li didn't care about a few of us, chatting with Old Man Ouyang alone, he seemed very comfortable, without the slightest anxiety and nervousness. At this time, Madman Six also shook his head at us secretly, and we all knew what he meant - from the meridians, Madman Six didn't find out that this Lao Li was Gao Blind.
But for some reason, I still have a vague feeling that this old Li is extremely unusual, and seems to have some connection with the blind man - although this is completely intuitive, and there is no evidence yet.
