Chapter 2 The Heavenly Descending Mountain
readx; The scales carried the uglyfish back to the village. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe sky is dark, and in a quiet courtyard, the tall and thick plane trees cast dark shadows. Under the tree, there is a big bluestone table, and there is an old man in his fifties sitting next to the table, with black hair and bright eyes, but the wrinkles on his white face have been born, wearing a green shirt, drinking tea slowly, and there is a layer of elegant and handsome air of a scholar around his body.
Through the fence, the scaly lifted the fish and shouted, "Grandpa, I'll get it back for you! Do you want to steam it or stew it?"
Grandpa Shui put down the teacup, looked her back and forth, and said in surprise: "Why did you come back?" Shui Scaleer said: "I went one by one, of course one came back!" Grandpa Shui said sharply: "What about the person you saved? Didn't you save a young man at sea?"
Shui Scale'er smiled: "Yes, grandpa, I did a great deed today and saved a ......" Suddenly his face changed, and he wondered: "Grandpa, how do you know that I saved people at sea?"
Grandpa Shui didn't answer, but just asked, "Since you have been saved, what about the others?"
Shui Lian'er had never seen his grandfather like this, so he hurriedly said softly: "I saved him, and I met Li Youjia and his brother on the beach, and they brought people back to Li's mansion." The man carried a sword with him, as if he was a swordsman who knew magic, but he was probably injured and had been unconscious, and when the servants of the Li family carried him away, I saw that his vest had a wound and his clothes were stained with blood. Li Chaoyin said to take it back and ask Master Li to save him, I think Master Li's medical skills are the best, and he will definitely be able to save him, so he asked the Li sisters to take him away. ”
Grandpa Shui listened, his face calmed down, and he stretched out his hand to wipe it on the big bluestone, and the stone table immediately flashed with blue light, faintly revealing a gossip map. Grandpa Shui's sleeves flicked, and four chopstick-like wooden sticks fell on the gossip map, two at the bottom and two at the top, and sighed in his mouth: "Kun hexagram, adapt to the situation, okay." ”
The blue light of the stone table disappeared, and Grandpa Shui took his granddaughter's hand and walked into the room. Shui Scale'er said: "Grandpa, you are a fortune teller, then do you count that I was almost swept by the wind and waves, fell into the sea and drowned?" Grandpa Shui sat in front of the window and said: "Your water nature, the sea water will not have an accident if it turns over!" Shui Scale'er smiled and asked: "Do you calculate that I will save people at sea today? Who is he? By the way, didn't Grandpa say that fortune-telling is a leak of heaven's secret and will be punished by heaven, and you can't count more? You haven't counted it for the past two years, why do you calculate it again today?"
Grandpa Shui looked at his granddaughter, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and said in a deep voice: "Scales, because that person ...... That person is your backer in this life, and grandpa took you to live in this small fishing village, and waited for fifteen years, just waiting for him to appear!"
Shui Scaleer snorted and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, how can a stranger be my backer? You are my backer!"
Grandpa Shui's face moved when he heard this, and his eyes revealed indescribable joy, but he turned into a solemn burst of solemnity, and said lovingly: "Scales, this person is indeed your backer, he is not a stranger, with him in the future, you will not have any more accidents." From today on, you should follow him, wherever he goes, and do not leave a single step. The tone is expectation, but also reluctance.
Hearing this, Shui Scale'er was puzzled: "Grandpa, how can I follow him? I don't know him, besides, besides, I am so ugly, I don't want to leave him every step? People like him will definitely hate me, so I don't want it." ”
Although she is a little girl in the countryside of a fishing village, she still has this self-knowledge and backbone. Usually in the village, what two dogs and three girls still dislike her, so inexplicably to go with an immortal-like swordsman, wouldn't it make Li Youjia and them laugh off their big teeth.
Grandpa Shui touched his granddaughter's head, as if he was looking at some rare treasure, and said with a smile: "He won't hate you, heaven and earth, you are his only most cherished girl!"
Shui Scales was pouring water, his little hand shook, and the water all flowed onto the table, and he said angrily: "Grandpa, you are also talking big? Don't you see, that person is so good-looking, he really doesn't look like a mortal! I am ugly, if he likes me, I will not believe it." Look at the monsters that have been caught by the swordsmen over the years, every time they kill in the town, they are ugly, and those who are cute are left as pets! Grandpa, in this world, except for you, no one will not care about my face, but what is the most precious thing to say is pure, kind, and cute!"
Grandpa Shui muttered: "Grandpa likes you, that person likes you too, if he knows everything, he won't care about the birthmark on your face." ”
"How come?" Shui Scales put down the kettle, sighed, and said in a soft voice: "Grandpa, I'm thinking, in fact, which girl is not pure, kind, and unlovable? Like me, even if I am pure, kind, and lovely, no one will see it, and no one will care. ”
Grandpa Shui looked at the ugly birthmark on his granddaughter's right cheek, listened to her string of tongue twisters, and his tone was sad, and suddenly realized that his granddaughter's troubles about this birthmark were far more serious than he imagined. sighed and reassured: "Scales, grandpa said, don't care about this birthmark, when you are seventeen years old, it will naturally be fine!"
Shui Scaleer said: "Grandpa, since this birthmark is born, it is mine, although it is ugly, I am used to it." My grandfather and I lived happily in this small fishing village, and I didn't want to go anywhere else with a stranger. ”
Grandpa Shui said: "Silly boy, when you are seventeen years old, this birthmark will disappear, and there are many things, you will remember, you will not live in this small fishing village forever, we have more important things." Listen to grandpa, go pack up your things, follow the young man, don't leave him, wait until he is healed, and return to the ...... When you're at home, there's hope. Grandpa looked out the window at the sea in the distance, and his eyes were deep.
Shui Scale'er frowned slightly: "Grandpa, what's more important?" But Scales really don't want to leave you, I don't want to follow a stranger!" Grandpa Shui said: "Scales!
Scaly shook her head, "Grandpa, I'll go make dinner first." "Turn around and go to the courtyard to get the uglyfish. Suddenly, I heard a series of heart-digging coughs behind me, and when I looked back, my grandfather stroked his chest, vomited a large mouthful of blood, and lay on the window lattice, weak.
Shui Scale'er was startled, and pounced on him and shouted, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Is it because of the fortune telling? You used to be uncomfortable at most, and you won't vomit blood!"
She hurriedly found a towel to help her grandfather wipe it, she was shocked and shocked, her grandfather also used to tell the hexagram, help the neighbor find the lost cat and dog, or even count the harvest, nothing is wrong, the most powerful is that year to take Qixia Town to eat boys monster, after coming back a little headache and fever, but just rest for a day or two, why do you vomit blood today?
What day is it today? When fishing encountered a storm and a person fell from the clouds, grandpa said that he was his backer, and asked her to follow others...... Such a bizarre twist, she really can't digest it.
Grandpa Shui grabbed his granddaughter and said: "Scales, you are obedient, pack your luggage, and go to Li's mansion, Master Li's son and daughter are going back to the North Styx Mountain to cultivate immortals, that young man is not a mortal, and he will probably go to the North Styx Mountain to cultivate and recuperate, you just follow to cultivate, no matter what he does, you just follow." Grandpa's health is broken, find a place to recuperate, and come back to you in the future. ”
Shui Lian'er said: "Grandpa, you are sick, I should take care of you, why do you want to go...... Go find a man you don't know? What kind of backer, what important things, what are these strange words, what's the matter? If you don't say it, I can't go. ”
Seeing that his granddaughter kept refusing, Grandpa Shui resolutely said: "If you don't go, you have to go! We have been waiting for fifteen years, and you must go to him, which is related to your life and the lives of many people! Grandpa will not say it now, but you will always know everything! Now you must be obedient!"
Seeing that Grandpa was getting more and more serious as he spoke, and it seemed that there was no turning around, the more confused he became, and he said: "Grandpa, you know that I can't cultivate immortals, I can't practice high-strength spells, last year the Northern Immortal Sword sent to recruit apprentices, and the immortal chief said that I don't have any spiritual roots at all! Since I can't cultivate immortals, I don't have the ability to save many people's lives!"
Grandpa Shui touched her head and said with a smile: "Silly girl, it's good if you go to mean it, girl's family, you don't need to practice any strong spells, and you don't need to cultivate immortals, as long as you have a tough backer, even if you don't know anything, you don't have to be afraid of anything, he will naturally think of a way for you!"
