Chapter 40: The Man Forgotten by Time
The old woman walked out of the door frame slowly, and walked out with a little trembling on crutches, as if she would fall down when the wind blew. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Young man, on this cold day, I saw you standing alone outside for a long time, so I will send you a bowl of self-boiled ginger syrup to ward off the cold. ”
After the old woman approached Yin Feng, Yin Feng saw that she was still holding a bowl in her hand, carefully guarding it when she walked to prevent the water from spilling inside.
"Huh?"
Yin Feng meditated in his heart.
Yun Zhen said: "It's okay, drink." ”
A few days of experience has taught him to be cautious and pay attention to people and things, and with the guarantee of the cloud array, Yin Feng can feel at ease.
"Thank you, mother-in-law!"
He took the bowl from the old woman's hand and thanked him, then raised his head and drank it.
Grunt......
Drinking a bowl of hot ginger brown sugar water can get rid of the body cold, and ginger and brown sugar are also pharmacologically cold things.
The ginger syrup is sweet and silky in the mouth, and there is a little ginger astringency, which is not very delicious but not unpleasant.
A bowl of ginger candy was in the stomach, and I felt a warm current spread from my stomach, and my whole body was warm when I saw it.
After drinking, Yin Feng returned the bowl to the old woman and thanked him again.
"Boy, is something wrong, why are you alone on the street?"
After the old woman took the empty bowl, she saw that Yin Feng and Yin Feng had never gone home, so she asked.
"I was passing through the town, looking for a place to rest, but I didn't expect that the hotels in the town were full, and I couldn't find a place to go for a while. Yin Feng said helplessly.
"Oh, no wonder, every winter, there are a lot of outsiders in the town, and our town is the busiest at this time. The old woman said to herself.
"It's better to do this, young man, if you don't dislike it, come to the cold house. ”
Yin Feng was worried that there was nowhere to go, so he was disgusted, so he hurriedly agreed.
The kind-hearted old woman sent him ginger soup and took him in for the night, Yin Feng was also very grateful, and hurriedly ran to the old woman's side and helped her into the house.
The old woman was turning around and preparing to lead Yin Feng home, when she suddenly felt that Yin Feng had turned to her side to support her. Although she didn't see how Yin Feng came over so quickly, she was very happy with Yin Feng's action of helping her, and a smile appeared on her old dry folded face.
Entering the house, the old woman brought Yin Feng a small stool for him to sit on, and she went to the kitchen in the back to watch the food.
Yin Feng sat bored on the small stool until it was dark, and the old woman's son came back from outside.
Her son is already in his forties, and he has some cultivation on his body, probably about the second level of pulse training.
He was a little surprised when he saw Yin Feng, so the old woman explained to him that Yin Feng was a passerby she had taken in at home for the night.
After hearing this, her son said that Yin Feng could live at home with peace of mind and not have to go to the hotel to spend money.
In the evening, the old woman made some homely meals, and at the dinner table, Yin Feng learned that the old woman's surname was Lu, Lu's husband's surname was Ma, and their son, the man in his forties, was called Ma Chang.
Ma Chang is as enthusiastic as an old woman, and chatted with Yin Feng a lot during dinner.
From his mouth, Yin Feng learned why there are so many outsiders in Yushan Town, it turns out that there is a towering snow-capped mountain called Wangxue Peak nearby, and every winter, the snow scene of Wangxue Peak will attract many outsiders to come to enjoy the snow.
Over time, a custom has been formed, and the first snow of Wangxue Peak in winter is called the Snow Watching Festival.
This year's Snow Watching Festival has arrived, and it will snow heavily around tonight, so you can go up the mountain to enjoy the snow during the day tomorrow.
Not only Yushan Town, as long as the towns and villages close to the snow peak are already crowded with people, just wait for tomorrow to go up the mountain to watch the snow scenery and enjoy the winter style of nature.
After eating, the old woman brought a bowl of rice soup into a hut.
"What is this?" asked Yin Feng puzzled.
After such a long conversation, Ma Chang no longer regarded Yin Feng as an ordinary child, and chatted with him like a fluent answer, not at all like a child from an ordinary family.
"Oh, I'm here to bring food to my dad. Ma Chang seemed accustomed to replying.
"Let's take you to see my father. Ma Chang had nothing to do after the meal, and offered to take Yin Feng to meet his father.
Listening to his tone of introducing his father during the meal, it was very mysterious, and it seemed strange that there seemed to be something hidden, and now Ma Chang offered to take him to see it, which also satisfied Yin Feng's curiosity.
The curtain of cloth hanging down before the door was opened and walked into Ma Chang's father's room, Granny Lu was sitting on the edge of the bed, blocking Yin Feng's view, Yin Feng had to bypass Granny Lu in order to see the person lying on the bed.
Bypassing Granny Lu, Yin Feng finally saw the person lying on the bed.
I'll go......
This is too different from what I imagined, the person lying on the bed turned out to be a young man in his twenties, with a face like a crown of jade, handsome eyebrows, and a bit of uninhibited and free and easy between his eyebrows.
looked at the young man lying on the bed, and then looked at the old woman and Ma Chang, this ......
"Uncle Ma, this~ is it really your father?" Yin Feng looked up at Ma Chang behind him and asked in surprise.
"Exactly!" Ma Chang nodded in response.
"Why?
Yin Feng's expression was a little sluggish, nodded and said, "Well, how can Grandpa Ma look so young?"
Ma Chang was about to explain to Yin Feng, when Granny Lu put down the bowl in her hand, turned her head and said, "Let me tell you!"
So Granny Lu sat on the edge of the bed and told Yin Feng the story of her husband's youth, while Yin Feng and Ma Chang listened quietly without disturbing her thoughts.
Granny Lu seemed to be caught in a memory, staring at a candlelight in the room with burning eyes, and her expression was slightly sluggish.
It turned out that Ma Chang's father's name was Ma Hou, many years ago he was a genius in Yushan Town, and he went to Yuncang Academy in Shicheng at the recommendation of the town college, and the heroic Ma Hou was also one of the best geniuses in Yuncang Academy, until he went to Guanxue Peak and found a secret place.
The secret realm is a mysterious part of the continent, it has never been displayed on the territory of the continent, but it is real, only under special circumstances, or special people can open and enter, every secret realm is full of opportunities, but some secret realms are full of danger.
Originally, the discovery of the secret realm was a good thing for a genius like Ma Hou, which meant that he could get a lot of cultivation resources, but he never thought that this secret realm would require a specific person or special situation to open, and he saw that the opportunity was in front of him but he had no chance, so Ma Hou was angry from his heart, and he forcibly attacked the barrier between the secret realm and reality, and as a result, he fell into a coma after being counterattacked by the power of the secret realm, and then was discovered by the people watching the snow, and Fang was rescued from the mountain.
Since then, Ma Hou has maintained the appearance of his youth, and there has never been a trace of change, and there are many cases on the continent of turning into a vegetative person, but he has never seen this kind of coma that is difficult to leave traces of time, as if forgotten by time.
