Chapter 33 The eyes have your color
On the official road, Dao Mu took out the map drawn by Uncle Xiong, and after looking at it for a while, he felt that he had a terrible headache, which is the map, it is clear that Uncle Xiong was drunk, and the bear's paw was blindly printed on the paper. If you draw a bunch of ghost symbols, then what kind of symbols is Uncle Bear drawing.
"No wonder everyone calls Uncle Bear Blind. Dao Mu wailed in his heart, with his desperate eyes and childish face, he was a young man who had no love in his life in the eyes of others.
"Childe, is there anything I can do to help you?" the voice was soft, with a little shyness and timidity.
Dao Mu looked up and saw that it was a girl about twenty years old, not amazing at first glance, but after a while, he found that it was okay, and after a while, he was quite beautiful. The girl was also in a large number of Daomu, and was soon attracted by Daomu's desperate red agate eyes, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she was even more shy.
"Can you read this map?" Dao Mu handed the map to the girl, heard a sneer behind her, looked up and followed the sound, only to find that there was a man and a woman behind her, and followed by a large group of armored guards, it was estimated that there were five or six hundred people.
Young boys and girls, immature in appearance, milk has not dried up, the age is about fifteen or sixteen years old, the male appearance is dignified, the female is delicate and beautiful, they look at the Taoist Mu as if they are looking at a beggar.
"It's a very detailed map, it's clear. The girl took the map, looked at it, and then said firmly, "What can't you see clearly?" There was a strong urge to help Dao Mu with some distrust, but not hindering.
When Dao Mu heard this, he knew that his eyes were deceiving himself again, "In the future, just let Ah Meng look at the map, my eyes are basically useless." β
Seeing that Daomu frowned from time to time, and sometimes stretched and lamented, "Childe, aren't you a road idiot, you can't tell the difference between east and west, north and south?" The girl was puzzled, pointed to a big red cross on the map, and then drew a snake arc on the map, "Childe, are you going to this place where the red cross is drawn, and then go all the way up, and the final destination is Cattle City?"
"Hmm. Dao Mu nodded, but his eyes looked at the young boys and girls behind the girl, and glanced at the old man beside them a few more times.
Boys and girls don't have much respect for girls, but girls have a lot of power to decide things, otherwise they won't let girls take the initiative to greet them with their teenage attitude. "Interesting family. Dao Mu said secretly in his heart.
"Childe, childe......" Seeing that Daomu was a little distracted, no matter how good the girl's temper was and how kind-hearted she was, she couldn't help frowning.
"The girl can call me Daomu. Dao Mu came back to his senses and smiled, but he was cold for too long, so that Dao Mu smiled now and did not smile, making others feel that he was sorry and not like a good person, "Look at the girl's tone, the path looks like me?"
"Well, my siblings are going to Cowtown for an interview to study. As he spoke, he saw the girl's jade shoots pointing at the big red cross a few times, and then expanding the range on the map, spending a big circle, "It's not too far away from the official road here, it was originally a fertile pasture, and then it changed into a death desert due to a sudden disaster, and it is naturally not feasible for ordinary people, but we are different, we can take a shortcut from here." β
"We?" Dao Mu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and only after a few breaths did he react, "Can I go with you?"
"Although the official road to Cattle City extends in all directions, it is precisely because of this that the road is mixed, and it is naturally better for you to walk with us. The girl replied while looking at the map, not seeing that the young boy and girl behind her did not look very good. "Look at the son's sword cultivation dress, and he also wears a treasure sword, I'm afraid he wants to go to Yijianmen to study, right?"
"I'm going to weave heaven to learn from herding. Dao Mu shook his fingers in denial, then pulled half of the map and looked at it, and no matter how he looked at it, it was still a messy pile of bear paw prints.
"Just by you, still learn to shepherd?" the young man pointed directly at the Taoist pastor and laughed.
"Eighteen years old, I still want to learn to be a shepherd, is it really so easy to be a shepherd?" the girl covered her mouth, and the flowers and branches trembled.
When the girl heard this, she also looked at the side face of Dao Mu beside her with a puzzled face, Dao Mu felt strange, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at the girl, "With my friendship with Tong Boyu and Tong Jie's brothers and sisters, it shouldn't be difficult to enter the Weaving Heaven Mansion." Dao Mu said, feeling in his heart that no one believed the truth in these years.
This time, Dao Mu's words made everyone around laugh, and the armor guards who had been calming their faces laughed out loud, not that they were not professional enough, but that Dao Mu's words were really ridiculous.
Bragging is bragging, and you don't have to brag to death, who doesn't know the Tong sisters of Zhitianfu, how can they know people like Daomu.
"Eldest sister, is it really good for you to invite a person of unknown origin to join us?" the young man clasped his hands around his chest, squinting his eyes and despised Dao Mu, "I'm afraid that this person is over eighteen, and at a glance, I will know that he has just entered the sword realm, and this kind of waste will follow us and drag us down." β
"Eldest sister, you shouldn't fall in love with someone because of his handsome appearance and a little white face. The girl's tone was delicate, her body was thin, her skin was white, and Dao Mu had no opinion that she had calluses on her hands, and she probably knew what she was doing.
The girl pursed her lips and looked at the girl, sneering, without any respect, only disdain, "I didn't expect the eldest sister to come out this time, the intention is to find a wishful husband." If Daddy knows, I don't know what will happen, if you do this, if your fiancΓ© knows, I'm afraid it's not good. β
The girl looked embarrassed, and it was difficult for her to be caught in the middle, but she was worried about letting Daomu go alone. But he was afraid of his father and the so-called fiancΓ©.
"The girl is twenty, and she is really of marriage age, which really makes the girl embarrassed. Dao Mu comforted the girl and pointed at Ah Meng, "Girl, can you teach Ah Meng and let her recognize the map, I am a waste." β
"Ah?!" The girl was stunned by Daomu's request, knowing that not all mounts are like Ryoma, no matter how she looks at it, Ah Meng is not like a mount with high intelligence.
Despite her suspicions, the girl still squatted in front of Ah Meng and tried her best, and about a quarter of an hour later, Dao Mu leaned over and asked Ah Meng if he understood, moo, Ah Meng nodded vigorously, and Dao Mu was relieved.
"Girl, as a token of gratitude, I give you a fruit. Dao Mu took out a vermilion fruit and handed it to the girl, who clapped her hands again and again and said that she couldn't help it.
At Daomu's repeated insistence, the girl finally took over, "Poof!" the young man sneered, "The color is so gorgeous, I'm afraid it's not a poisonous fruit." β
The young man's words hit the nail on the head, and Daomu took advantage of the situation to let the girl eat it in front of him to prove his innocence.
The girl hesitated for a moment, did not listen to the advice of the old man around her, or put it in her mouth, her teeth were bitten, crisp and refreshing, the juice gushed out, the aroma was overflowing, and it poured into the girl's body, and soon filled every part of her body, her body was warm, her pores were stretched, and she was so uncomfortable.
"I hope this zhuguo will help the girl. Dao Mu called Ah Meng to leave, and finally left a sentence, "Please continue to be so kind." As he spoke, he lay on Ah Meng's back, took out a drawing board to cover his face, one man and one beast, and soon disappeared on the horizon.
"Zhu Guo?"
When the girl heard this, she was stunned, and remembered that the description of Zhu Guo in the ancient book was exactly the same as the feeling of the fruit she ate. The whole body is ruddy and translucent, the touch is like glass, but it is actually crisp and juicy, and the taste is fragrant with plants and trees, as sweet as candy.
"Heh, this person is a lie, and he will come as soon as he opens his mouth, but fortunately I didn't promise him to join us. The young man clasped his hands around his chest and looked in the direction Dao Mu had left, his eyes not without disdain.
"A little white face, and I like to pretend to be deep, it's not a good thing at first glance, and Zhu Guo, how much did my father spend to get two myeloid cleansing pills, Zhu Guo has never even seen the old pharmacist. The girl sneered.
Hearing the words of her younger siblings, the girl fell into deep thought, and her intuition told her that it was true, but the people around her told her that it was false. Then, I thought to myself, as long as this fruit is not a poisonous fruit, it doesn't matter what kind of fruit it is.
Helping Dao Mu didn't think about asking for anything in return, but he just felt that Dao Mu was kind and needed help, nothing more.
Lao Su walked up to the girl, patted the girl on the shoulder, and the two looked at each other, "Miss, you have been transferred, Zhu Guo is undoubted." β
"Please keep being so kind. β
Daomu's words seemed to have magical powers, and they kept echoing in the girl's mind.
Three days later.
Daomu Ah Meng entered the endless desert, which could have been faster, but because Ah Meng took the wrong road several times. Later, Ah Meng studied the map and corrected it, so that he found the right direction and came to this sand disaster.
Dad said that this disaster land was excessively eroded by the death qi of Doom, and he couldn't repair it alone, so he could only turn this disaster into desertification, and his heart hurt to heartache, and there was really no way.
After crossing the desert and entering the Gobi Desert, within half a day, Daomu finally saw a house.
It stands lonely between heaven and earth, a hill behind the house, a river in front of the house, and the yellow sky and loess seem out of place. However, in those days, it was a fertile pasture with lush vegetation and green grass.
When I arrived at the hut, the sand and dust surrendered in front of the door, and a familiar feeling arose, a feeling that was deeply imprinted in the soul and in the blood.
Squeak, push open the wooden door, the flowers and plants in the yard are still flourishing, the air is fresh, exudes a faint fragrance, compared with the reverse dryness, here is a lot warmer, people are much more comfortable.
According to his father's description, Dao Mu looked room by room, touched every place, every place was so familiar, that feeling, in addition to throbbing, there was also a deep sadness.
In the room where his parents died, Dao Mu stood in a daze for a long time, and Ah Meng became a little sad with Dao Mu.
"Dao", the only word in the spirit card enshrined in the hall is this word, I don't know if my biological father believes in the Tao or just respects the Tao.
Came to the top of the hill behind the house, looked around, imagined the quiet beauty of the small bridge and flowing water, and the heart was inexplicably throbbing, and seemed to understand the life of the two biological parents, "At the end of the prosperity, find an uninhabited mountain forest, build a wooden hut, pave a bluestone path, and you will be in peace with the morning bell and dusk drum." β
The big tree behind the cemetery was so lush that it did not die due to lack of water, but it was afraid that it would take root deep into the ground in order to survive.
Take out the prepared things and worship the two elders, the smell of incense and candles, the smell of wine, the smell of meat, the smell of wood, and the smell of sand and dust are entangled with each other into a strange smell that lingers around the entire tomb.
"Daddy, my eyes don't have the color of yours. β
"I will bring this land you love back to life. β
A string of crystals fell from the eyes of the red agate, and the loss of two parents, the whereabouts of the righteous sister are still unknown. Who can understand his pain, who can understand the desperate red of his eyes.
It's just him.
