It's cloudy today and there is no sunset. The Taoist sat cross-legged at the door of the hut, closed his eyes, and quietly listened to the sound of the mountain wind blowing through the air, the sound of the grass and trees being blown by the wind, and the sound of cicadas gradually being replaced by the sound of insects and frogs.

The little girl shrank beside him, not afraid of dirty or dirty clothes, and fell to the ground on her side, shrunk into a ball, like a cat.

The woman leaned against the door frame, holding a knife in her arms, and sometimes opened her eyes and glanced into the distance. Yellow-maned horses are tethered to the side to gnaw grass.

It was completely dark. There are cries in the mountains from time to time, the wind blows the grass, and occasionally there are movements made by the people of the rivers and lakes.

The night went by. Early the next morning. Wu Nuxia opened her eyes, the green mountains and white clouds in front of her, the scenery was beautiful, she turned her head and saw that her horse was standing upright, and the Taoist was still sitting next to her, a few feet away, but the girl beside him was gone, and there was only a small bowl with half a bowl of water.

That bowl is a fine and exquisite blue and white porcelain, and the value is extraordinary. The Taoist used it to feed the cats with water and food. but a thick bowl for himself.

At first, she thought that this bowl was given by someone else and obtained from the palace, but after asking, she found out that she had specially bought it in the West Market, and it cost a full thousand yuan.

Why not buy two more? Because there is not enough money. Wu Nuxia was puzzled at the time, but now she is no longer surprised, and when she saw that the Taoist also opened her eyes, she asked out loud: "Where is your cat?" ”

"It's out."

"Where?"

"I don't know."

"In the past two days, many people from the rivers and lakes have rushed over when they heard the news, as if they were searching the mountains to pick up gold, don't want to see that your cat is good-looking, and caught it."

"Probably not." The Taoist is very calm,

"Just call her and she'll be back."

"Then you call it."

"......" Before the Taoist could speak, there was movement on the path. A little girl in tricolored clothes walked back slowly, holding something in her hand, looking left and right, and when the two people at the door of the hut appeared in her sight, she immediately quickened her pace, and ran back at a trot, and stopped in front of the Taoist.

Stretching out his hand, the white and tender palm rested on the pod of a wild pea, showing it to the two of them.

"I'm looking for this again!" Most of these grasses grow low and have small flowers that bear pod-like fruits, but much smaller.

When ripe, it is round and slender, break it in the middle, cut it open, take out the seeds, and put it in your mouth to make a natural sound.

You can also take only the seeds inside and play with a bamboo tube. People in some areas of Yizhou call this kind of thing that can be blown out

"Calling" is a very simple and vivid overlapping word, and because this grass often grows on the side of, it is called and screaming.

In fact, it has nothing to do with. Usually there are no heroines, Song You will accompany Sanhua Niangniang to play this kind of thing, but today there is a heroine, so I will hand it over to the heroine.

I saw the woman lean over and take a look, pick out some plump, long pods, and throw the rest away.

As on the Pingzhou Mountain, the girl was reluctant, and as soon as the woman threw it away, she was neither angry nor annoyed, and immediately picked it up without saying a word.

Until the woman told her that this kind of flat and short one had not grown up, and it couldn't be blown when it was made into a scream, and it didn't make a loud sound, she was reluctant, so stubborn that she held it in her hand and refused to throw it away.

After a while, another whistle sounded beside him.

"Woo woo woo ......" blew for a while, and the little girl seemed to sound, turned her head and said to the Taoist: "Sanhua Niangniang saw the tiger again last night, a big tiger, there are two. ”

"Huh?" As soon as Wu Nuxia stuffed the scream into her mouth, she took it out again and turned her head to stare at her.

"Where?"

"It's over there." The little girl stretched out her hand and pointed in one direction.

"Far away?"

"Not far."

"Just two?"

"Two, one more than two is three."

"Why didn't I see it?"

"A man is blind at night."

“……”

"Is it the same as the tiger I saw when I was in Changjing before?" The Taoist beside him asked.

"It's the same."

"Then I'm afraid the news is true. That Master Dou really escaped to Beiqin Mountain, probably because he wanted to take advantage of the complicated mountain road and escape. Wu Nuxia raised her eyebrows as she spoke,

"Okay, these bitter haha, so many people in Changjing come in and out all day long, they can find people."

"Woo~woo~" The little girl continued to blow and scream. But as he blew, he made a slightly puzzled sound, and then turned his head to look at the grass not far away, and the sound returned to normal and smooth.

Wu Nuxia also looked along.

"Who?" There was silence in the grass, and then half of his head poked out. It's an emaciated middle-aged man. The man's eyes shifted to the girl, then to the yellow-maned horse, to the woman, and finally to the young Taoist, and his eyes widened suddenly.

"Immortal Master!" The man immediately rushed out with the package.

"Whew!" The woman pulled out her long knife, frowned, turned her head slightly, and squinted her eyes to look at the Taoist beside her: "What did he shout?" ”

"Call me."

"......" Wu Nuxia's eyes wandered, and she put the long knife back. I saw the middle-aged man staggering towards this side, the road was grass and thorns, in the middle of summer, it was luxuriant, there would be people tall, and the sight could be blocked less than a foot away, but the middle-aged man did not care about the thorns and thorns and the snakes and insects that might be hidden in the grass, and only ran this way.

It didn't take long to make their way through the grass and come to a few people.

"Immortal Master save me!" The middle-aged man immediately bowed on the spot, but was supported by the Taoist. This person is the Master Dou I have seen in the Taiwei Mansion.

Wu Nuxia beside her also saw it, and turned her gaze to the bag that Master Dou was carrying, focusing on the two oilcloth-wrapped long boxes.

"Master Dou, please get up."

"Immortal master save me, my life will be over!"

"Why did the master say this?"

"Dou was hunted down and killed, and he was in danger......"

"There's no hurry." The Taoist picked up the water bladder next to him, saw his chapped lips, and asked softly, "Master, do you want to drink saliva?" ”

"Thank you, Immortal Master." Master Dou took the water bladder and raised his head to fill the air. Be careful not to spill a drop.

Wu Nuxia laughed, took two steps back with the knife, leaned against the door frame of the hut, and aimed at them while aiming into the distance.

"When I said goodbye to the Taiwei Mansion, I thought I would never see the master again, but today I came to visit Dr. Cai, but I didn't find Dr. Cai, but I met the master, and it was also fate."

"It's Dou who is lucky......"

"I'm also fortunate to be here."

"Thank you Immortal Master for the water."

"You're welcome." Song You took the water bladder and covered the plug,

"How did the Master get here?"

"It's a long story......"

"Don't rush, speak slowly." Song You simply sat down cross-legged again, listening slowly. Master Dou looked back, and saw that the field of vision here was empty, and I am afraid that the people in the rivers and lakes who were far away could also see it, but when he saw that this immortal master was next to him, he had a calm posture, although he did not say that he wanted to help him, it also made his heart settle down suddenly, as if he had reached a sheltered place.

Many fragments flashed in his mind for a while, including the surprise and feeling of seeing the immortal master walk out of the painting that day, the words and deeds of the immortal master in the Taiwei Mansion, and even Mu Daochang, who finally persuaded himself to leave quickly.

When he came back to his senses, the Taoist was smiling at him. The woman turned her gaze away, as if to see if there were any people from the rivers and lakes.

The little girl was born very cute, and she stared at him, her eyes were clear except for curiosity. They are all rare reliable people in the world.

Master Dou immediately stopped hesitating.

"Dou's family has a treasure, it is a painting handed down by the famous ancestor back then, and later the family education is not strict, and the news is spread by the descendants of the family, which attracts the coveted ...... people in the rivers and lakes" Master Dou talked about it one by one, and the Taoist also listened carefully.

Compared with the news that the Taoist knew before, there are the same, such as the upright military attache outside Changjing City, and there are also differences, for example, in the rumors of the rivers and lakes that the heroine heard, it was said that the daughter-in-law leaked the news, and Master Dou said that it was the news from the descendants of the family, which should be a rumor in the rivers and lakes.

That Mr. Mu knew that Dou had a strange treasure, but he was not greedy, but persuaded Dou to leave. However, Changjing has gathered a lot of people from the rivers and lakes, and many people know that Dou is in Changjing, and Dou feels that he can't stay in Changjing anymore. Master Dou shook his head again and again,

"Fortunately, when I was in the Taiwei Mansion, I happened to hear that Doctor Cai outside the city has great medical skills, and most of them have the ability to change people's faces, so I want to take advantage of the night to leave Changjing with things and come to find Doctor Cai, and want to ask him for help."

"It turned out that I came to Doctor Cai for help, and I thought that you wanted to use the mountain road of Beiqin Mountain to escape from the boundary of Changjing." Wu Nuxia turned her head, glanced at him, and interjected,

"But you don't know that Dr. Cai is often on the go, practicing medicine everywhere, and is often not at home."

"Just thinking about trying your luck."

"Doctor Cai does have the ability to change people's faces, and I have heard of one such person, who is a well-known head changer in the rivers and lakes. But they are fundamentally different. Wu Nuxia said while staring at the movement in the distance,

"The head changer is a strange person in the rivers and lakes, and he is famous for changing the purpose and means of changing people's faces, but Doctor Cai is a famous doctor and a miracle doctor, although he has this ability, but it is purely because of his superb medical skills and extensive learning, and he has dabbled in all aspects, and he is not famous for this, and the two are like the difference between cloud and mud. Doctor Cai is not like the head change doctor, as long as he gives money, he is willing to do anything. Even if you are lucky enough to find Divine Doctor Cai today, he may not be able to help you. ”

"Dou knew that Doctor Cai must have insisted." Master Dou's voice was trembling,

"It's just that Dou has no other way, and secondly, Dou heard that Dr. Cai is skilled and kind-hearted, and Dou will tell Dr. Cai about the cause and effect of the incident, maybe he will be impressed." Song You thought it was funny.

In the mouth of Master Dou,

"Medical skills" seems to have become a word to explain conduct.

"However, although Dou didn't have the chance to meet Doctor Cai, he met the immortal master, and sure enough, it was not until the end, and the gains and losses were immeasurable." Master Dou said, and looked at Song You beggingly,

"Please ask the immortal master to save Dou's life." Song You didn't ask what kind of treasure his treasure was, but just asked, "How can I save Master Dou in the next place?" ”

"Dou is not actually a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but the Dou family has no descendants, Dou received an apprentice in the early years, and wanted to pass on the painting skills of the ancestors, but he died under the knife of the Jianghu people in order to protect Dou, if Dou died, the unique painting skills of the ancestors would be lost." Master Dou almost burst into tears,

"Please help me stay away from here, find a clean place, live in seclusion, and after Dou leaves a legacy, I am willing to give the immortal master a cow and a horse as a reward."
