Chapter 4: The Mysterious Old Man
It was getting dark, and it was night. At this time, in the mountain stream, Jiang Chen plucked the rabbit hair, and soon put the hare into the mountain spring water to wash, took a string of branches, and put it on the pebbles next to the mountain stream.
"Go gather some dry wood, make a fire, and roast the hare. Jiang Chen said with some joy. Then, with his hands, he brushed his hair a little messy, straightened his clothes, and went back into the woods.
As soon as Jiang Chen turned to leave, a somewhat rickety, disheveled figure, and his face that had been unable to see clearly in the dark night fell next to the washed hare. Then he put down the two jars of good wine in his hand, leaned against the trunk of the tree, shook the wine gourd on his waist, crossed Erlang's legs, and got rid of the hooligan appearance.
......
"Ah...... Who are you, I'll go, master, the hare I worked so hard to beat, you didn't spoil it. "Jiang Chen, who led the white horse and came back from collecting dry firewood, looked confused, I just went out for a while, why didn't someone come here.
The figure leaning against the trunk of the tree, taking advantage of the white moonlight, could barely see the face clearly. Messy hair, messy clothes, cloudy eyes, an old man. However, I don't think I've seen this before......
"Hey, old man?" Jiang Chen said tentatively.
"Bah, boy. If you don't love the young, you can always roast this hare for me, and hurry up and make a fire. The old man said impatiently, and took a nap again, and a fiery red aura emerged from the tips of his dry fingers, and with a flick of his hand, a cluster of flames rose.
The aura is released, this is a realm that Jiang Chen of the Refining Realm is far from being able to touch, at least it is the same as his father to build the Spiritual Realm in order to flexibly use the aura, this kind of character can make himself die with a slap in the face. But the more you hear it, the more familiar it becomes......
"Deacon, are you itching to come out and drink again? Jiang Chen teased, at this time, he also knew that this was the sloppy old man who didn't give himself the pill during the day, the deacon of the Danfang.
"......" The sloppy old man was speechless for a while, thinking that he could recognize this, if other people saw the master of the Spirit Building Realm, they ignored the image, and they would have been trembling a long time ago, this kid ......
After a while, beside the pyre where the flame was lit, an old man and a young man, who had just pinched each other, were staring intently, and the hare on the shelf was roasted golden, dripping with oil, exuding the aroma of roasted meat, and there were two jars of aged wine next to it, and saliva was flowing all over the ground.
"Eh, it's okay, boy, hurry up, I'll give you a few more Tsukidan, hurry. The sloppy old man couldn't wait any longer, urging Jiang Chen, who was roasting meat.
"No, it's not, who's going to barbecue it, or you're coming. Jiang Chen was a little unhappy, barbecue can be bought with a few Tsukidan, and in the world of foodies, there can be no sloppiness.
"Dare you talk to me like that. The old man's face was black, his face sank, and he said unpleasantly.
"Yes, yes, really. "Jiang Chen is a little funny, he is really a fellow believer......
In the dark night, in the mountain stream of Yaogu, there is a slight firelight, and you can see from a distance, an old man and a young man are talking and laughing, resounding through the forest, adding a touch of vitality to this dead night.
"Eh, deacon, what's your name, I shouldn't call you that in the future. Jiang Chen touched his head and said, jokes are jokes, but respecting the elders is still necessary, although this old man is a little unreliable, but he is also very good to himself, every time he asks for a drink, he will give a few more Zhuji Dan when he is happy, or he will guide himself.
"My surname is Su, my name is Baili, and I have a single number, which is not important or important. The sloppy old man said to Jiang Chen with a smile, it seems that he is in a good mood.
"Uh...... Be calm, you have to be an elder. Jiang Chen looked at Deacon Su, who no longer had a few teeth, and his smile was really a bit infiltrating.
"I'm chic, how can I be stylish, hahaha. Sure enough, the monkeys are the same, the more they tease, the more they tease, Old Man Su stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
"Let's go, I still have to cultivate, I'll see you tomorrow. Jiang Chen took the wine jar and rode on a white horse to leave outside the medicine valley.
Jiang Chen was a little drunk, thinking when did this old man know that I came to this mountain stream, and I didn't tell anyone, forget it, I didn't bother to guess.
......
"Young master, young master is up. It sounded like the maid Xiaohuan was knocking on the door and calling out to the sleeping people in the room.
"Who, got it. Jiang Chen rubbed his sore head, got up and put on the neat clothes arranged in front of the table, put on his boots and got up to push the door open.
At a glance, Jiang Chen looked at the big watery eyes in front of him, her long eyelashes were full of purity and vitality, her pink little face, and her thin lips, she looked like a beautiful embryo, but it was a little rude, she was wearing a blue shirt, and she was wearing a girl who looked like she was going to eat people, and she suddenly wanted to laugh. I'm going, why did you come to such a bad star in the morning.
This slim woman is Jiang Xue'er, who was adopted by her father on a night when there was goose feathers and heavy snow, and her name was used to control Jiang Chen, who was naughty when he was a child.
No, it's stuck behind all day long, this is why Jiang Chen would rather go to the street to sell spirit fruits than go back to Jiang Mansion, as soon as she is happy, this girl will give you a slap, who can stand it.
"Sister......" Jiang Chen just wanted to speak.
"Call sister, it's really, full of alcohol, did you go to the Qinglou to drink last night, tell me honestly" Jiang Xue'er pulled Jiang Chen's ears and asked out the door.
"Look, isn't this Jiang Chen's brother, showing affection early in the morning. ”
"Who said no, I was in charge of this little daughter-in-law all day long, hahaha"
The children of the Jiang family who passed by made fun of Jiang Chen, who was passing by, and laughed.
"Hey, you guys shut up, it's really, ruining my brother Chen's reputation. Jiang Chen felt a little embarrassed, and scolded the people around him for making fun of him, he was very helpless, and his face for more than ten years was lost.
"Reputation, your reputation, Brother Chen. Jiang Xue'er, raised her jade foot a few more times, her angry chest trembled, her anger was not light, and her red lips opened lightly.
"If you want to go shopping, you said it earlier, why bother to play this play, my ears. Jiang Chen looked at Jiang Xue'er beside her, who had just judged the two of them, she was as quiet as a lady at this time, and the three thousand green silks danced in the wind, which was very beautiful, but after thinking about it, she looked extremely vicious just now. Forehead...... Forget it
In the bazaar, vendors are selling, there are all kinds of things, there are spiritual weapons, spiritual fruits, spiritual medicines, and women's ornaments and so on. Jiang Chen stopped and walked along the way, shopping with girls, and it was normal for 800 meters an hour.
"Brother, isn't this crystal hairpin good-looking? Jiang Xue'er stopped at a jewelry store and refused to move, holding a crystal hairpin inlaid with gold wires and a few silver bells in her hand and asked Jiang Chen, who was walking away.
Jiang Chen listened, and when he looked back, he saw that with a pink face, charming blue eyes, eyebrows as thin as willow leaves, and Jiang Xue'er with thin lips puffing out angrily, Jiang Chen didn't know what to say.
Jiang Chen, who was 100 meters away, walked back again......
"Boss, how do you sell this crystal hairpin?" asked the little man who looked like a profiteer.
"This master, this is made of crystal ore mined from the mine cave thousands of meters below, the whole body is translucent, and it is decorated with gold and silver bells, your wife must look good when she wears it. The little man gushed about it, and Jiang Xue'er, who listened, was overjoyed.
"Bought it!" Jiang Xue'er took the crystal hairpin and thrust it into her long black hair, and walked away, leaving Jiang Chen to wander alone.
......
This thing is also worth fifty spirit stones, Jiang Chen looked at the crystal hairpin on Jiang Xue'er's hair not far away, and felt as if he had been pitted.
Inadvertently, Jiang Chen walked past a stall, and the afterglow seemed to sweep a few objects, and then turned back. Looking at the middle-aged vendor in blood-stained cloth clothes, with a tired and thin face. At first glance, it is the hunters in the mountains who come to the town to sell game, but next to the roe deer, there are some fragments of mysterious textures that are strange.
