Book 3, Chapter 36

Boundless darkness, casting a beam of light. Under the light, the corners of Shu Ying's lips were overflowing with pink blood foam, looking at him from afar, her eyebrows and eyes were full of sadness, and she called out in pain: "He Yu, save me..." "Help me..." gradually disappeared in front of me.

"Xiaoying, Xiaoying, don't go..."He Yu was full of thoughts, looked at the people in front of him, stretched out his hand, and chased forward with a painful cry. It's a pity that the light ahead is bright and dark, and the people disappear again.

At the same time, a series of strange voices suddenly sounded in his ears:

"Goo... Goo..."

"Giggles... Woo hoo hoo ...."

"Don't you run... Hey, wait for me..."

He Yu was sweating profusely and woke up.

The chase is still the same: "Oh cluck... Woo cuckoo..."

"Goo, goo... Why are you running so fast, I won't be able to catch you if you run again..."

Strange and simple wooden house, through the hollow carved wooden window next to the bed, He Yu saw the green bamboo courtyard outside the house, a white-bearded old man with white hair tied with a rope was chasing an old hen all over the yard, and he couldn't stop worrying. The old hen was chased up and down by him, and she almost learned to fly. The figures one after the other, under the warm morning sun, although a little funny, there is a kind of indescribable satisfaction and happiness. It almost made him feel that the essence of life and happiness were nothing more than that.

"Senior, it's better for the junior to help you!" He Yu walked out of the door, smiled politely, picked up a small pebble and waved his hand, and the hen was immediately shot down and collapsed to the ground.

Seeing this, the old man ran to the hen, looked left and right, stood up and blew his beard and glared, and said angrily: "You... You bastard, who, who let you beat it to death, you just made me work hard all morning, no, it's three months..."The old man glared at He Yu reproachfully, "Do you know that I've raised it for so long, just today... If you don't chase him for a long time, let its blood veins be active and expanding, and each piece of meat is guaranteed to be the most relaxed and moderate, how can the roasted lotus leaf chicken be called delicious in the world. Hmph, you bastard, I saved you kindly, but you made me lose my love..."Turning to the old hen, he cried and said with a sad face: "Oh, my heart... Why did you die like this... Poor thing... Pathetic... Alas... Kindness. No, you've got to pay me... Yes, you compensate my beloved chicken...", he really turned his head and denounced to He Yu.

He Yu was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and he stayed there. This, this old man chased this chicken on the surface of the frown, but in fact, he waited for a long time and did not start, just to let the chicken move its muscles and shins, and then cook it... And he did something bad with good intentions, but he was blamed, and he had to pay him for his chicken... Is the person in front of him really the one who resounded in the Taoist sect for a while-the real person who was rumored?

"What are you thinking, bastard? I'm going to let you pay for my chickens?"

"Nope. He Yu hurriedly added: "The juniors know that they are sorry, and they should make compensation for the loss of their hearts." It's just that the seniors let the juniors compensate each other now, and the juniors really don't know where to look for it for a while. ”

"I don't care, that's your business. The old man twisted his white beard, "But." He Yu squinted, pouted his lips reluctantly, and said, "For the sake of your sincere mistake, well, so be it! ”

"Yes. It's easy to do. Thank you for your tolerance and understanding. "It seems that this peerless real person is not as difficult to get along with as the rumors, and it is unreasonable. Except that the temper is a bit eccentric.

"Bastard, what are you thinking?" The old man suddenly appeared in front of He Yu, and immediately startled him, stiffened, and said in shock: "No, no.. It's just that I feel that my predecessors are not as good as rumored to be. Heh, heh!" The admiration and tall image of the old man in his heart before they met collapsed invisibly.

"Really?.. Ahem, ahem, I'm like this. It's just that those hostile slanders from the outside world are spreading and ruining my reputation. The old man glanced at He Yu out of the corner of his eye, "Yes." If you don't believe it, you'll find out when you have time to ask your scholar's uncle in the future. This compliment, the old man seems to be very useful, although there is no smile on his face, but there is a big situation of gloomy and sunny.

"Senior, you and I have never met, how do you know that my senior uncle is a scholar?" He Yu said strangely.

"Through the letter in your bosom, of course. After answering instinctively, the old man's face flashed with a moment of unnaturalness, turned around, and forced: "No, otherwise how could I save you." ”

That's right. However, what surprised He Yu even more was that the once famous senior in front of him didn't even ask him, so he didn't ask himself, and read the letter handed over to him by his uncle...

"Bastard, you, don't think about it, it was the letter that fell out of itself when I found you, I, I just read it. The old man saw what He Yu was thinking, and he was busy bluffing, and his heart was empty.

"Oh. I see, the younger generation is ashamed. Speaking of which, I haven't thanked my predecessors for saving my life. ”

He Yu replied like this, but he was full of doubts. It must not be easy for him to fall out of his chest and robe, and even if he fights with the evil bird, he will not fall out, and at most a corner will be exposed. Hehe! Presumably when the old man rescued him, he found a corner, and curiously pulled it out to look at it.

But in any case, the old man had the grace to save him, which was a fact, and he had to thank him, so he said: "The seniors are here, please accept the worship of the juniors." Wanting to bow down, the old man stretched out his hand to stop him and waved his hand, "Okay, okay, where can there be so many courtesies, just like your uncle, it always makes people uncomfortable." ”

Speaking of which, since he was a child, He Yu actually has the same feeling as the old man about these endless etiquette, and he is also born with a liking for ease. But playing small is long in Luoyan Peak, and I feel the grace of the head of the family, and respect him as a father. It hurt his heart, but it never touched his mind. It's been a long time, and although I'm tired of it, I'm used to it. Now that I heard what Juechen said, I finally understood why I saw the old man chasing the old hen at first, and why I laughed at the behavior of losing my identity, and why I felt that the old man was filled with a happy light that he had never seen before, with satisfaction. It turned out that he was envious, envious of being able to live such an arbitrary life without any constraints...

"Good. Since the seniors are not formal, it seems a bit contrived for the younger generations to be like this. He Yu smiled and nodded, and for a while, he felt that the old man's face seemed to be much kinder.

"And don't call the old-timers in the future, am I that old?"

"Huh, but don't call the seniors? The juniors are stupid and don't know what to call them?"

"Hehe!" The old man's eyes were clear, he bought a pass, then twisted his beard, and said seriously: "En." Let's call Brother Absolute Dust!"

"What?"

"What? no!"

"No, Senpai. I'm afraid it's messing up the generations..."

"Alright. I said just do it. The old man sank his face, "Why are you so verbose, after talking for a long time, my mouth is thirsty." By the way, why are you still here, the sun is about to go down, why don't you go to the back mountain to hunt hares, you want to starve my old bones!" said the old man, blowing his beard.

β€œ... Yes, I'll go. He Yu glanced at the old man with some reluctance and walked back. This old man's face changed faster than turning a book. Just said that he called him senior, and called him old. Now I also call myself an old bone. It's only noon, but it's almost sunset. Don't you open your eyes and tell nonsense... However, although the old man was capricious and had a strange temperament, he suddenly had a feeling that the next days of staying at the bottom of the valley should not be too badβ€”boring!
