Chapter 109: Dong Lao goes up the mountain
Since the mountain field is quite close to the main peak of Changbai Mountain, the weather here is also cold early. As soon as we entered October, there were several snowfalls, and by October 20, a heavy snowfall had been falling for a whole day. Now, the snow on the ground will be more than a foot deep.
Qian Mingyuan planned to start sawing in the next few days, but this old man Dong couldn't find it. He lived in the village of Twenty-one Valley, Qian Mingyuan went to invite, and the people in the village said that he had gone out, and he had left since the spring, and he had not come back until now.
Without Old Man Dong to preside over the ceremony of worshipping the sky, Qian Mingyuan was a little bottomless in his heart. He couldn't inquire about the whereabouts of the old man, and he was in a hurry, and his voice was hoarse.
When he got up in the morning, Qian Mingyuan's throat was still a little uncomfortable, so he walked outside and stretched. But I suddenly found that there was a person walking this way in the distance, and the figure was very familiar, it was Old Man Dong. Qian Mingyuan was happy now, and he didn't care that no one had left the snow on the ground, so he ran towards the old man in a hurry.
"Elder Dong, your old man is back." When Qian Mingyuan saw the old man, he had a bottom in his heart, and he couldn't be happy.
"Your kid is also in his forties, why don't you even have this depth? Is it so happy to see that I still need to? It's not like I'm seeing a big girl. The old man teased with a smile.
"Old man, you are much more important than that big girl, I have been waiting for a long time, your boss is finally here." Qian Mingyuan carefully helped Old Man Dong and walked towards the house.
"Go, you kid don't have to be so careful, my body is very strong, old man. Don't be like an old lady. Old Man Dong slapped Qian Mingyuan's hand away, and walked to the front of the room with his chest up. By the way, is my apprentice going up the mountain again? ”
"Yes, yes, it's been here a long time ago." Qian Mingyuan hurriedly nodded.
"Okay, then you can get busy, I'll go find my apprentice. Tomorrow we will go down the mountain to buy something, and the day after tomorrow we will sacrifice to the sky and open the saw. Old Man Dong waved his hand, and then went to find Yunxue.
When Qian Mingyuan heard this, he immediately became happy, "Hey, okay, I'll go and prepare tomorrow." With that, he ran back to tell everyone the news.
Yun Xue was in the house, just finished all the meals, and waited for the big guy to come to eat. Suddenly, the door opened, and an old man came in from outside. "Master, when did you come back? Uncle Qian was still talking about you last night, saying that he couldn't find you, and when he sacrificed to the sky, he asked me to preside over it. Yun Xue was also very happy when she saw that it was her master, and when she came to Old Man Dong, she was about to kneel down and kowtow.
"Alright, girl, don't do that. I, the master, am not very qualified. Come, let Master see what is going on with my precious apprentice. The old man stopped Yun Xue, didn't let her kneel, helped Yun Xue up, and looked carefully. Yes, the complexion is okay. It's good, it's okay to be a good person. Come, come in, I've got something good for you. The old man smiled mysteriously.
Yun Xue knew that she, a master, couldn't see things in her eyes, and if he said good things, he would definitely not be wrong. So, the master and the apprentice entered the house.
Yun Zhen happened to be in the house, "Eldest sister, who is this old man?" ”
"This is my master, you can call him Grandpa Dong." Yun Xue hurriedly introduced. "Master, this is my second brother."
Old Man Dong looked at Yun Zhen and nodded incessantly, "Well, it's a good seedling, both of you sisters and brothers have followed your father, and it's a good material for martial arts." Yun Xue, you can pass on the kung fu given to you by the master to Yun Zhen, this kid, I am afraid that his future achievements will not be under me. ”
Although Yun Xue knew the benefits of this inner family exercise, she never passed it on to Yun Zhen and them. This exercise is passed on by Old Man Dong, and she can't make her own opinions, so if something happens in the future, it will be difficult to do. There are some rules between the various sects. However, now that the old man has spoken, Yun Xue is naturally happy.
"Thank you, Master, then I'll teach him." Yun Xue hurriedly agreed. "Yun Zhen, don't hurry up and thank you."
Yun Zhen stepped forward and saluted, "Thank you, Grandpa Dong." "Although the eldest sister is someone else's apprentice, she is not, and she still has to be called grandpa in a proper manner.
The old man nodded, very satisfied, and then untied a burden from his back, "Girl, see what the master brought back for you?" The old man opened the baggage, and inside were two long boxes.
As soon as the box on the top was opened, there were several dried flowers inside. In the box at the bottom, there are several porcelain vases in a row.
Yun Xue was a little puzzled, what did the old man do? "Master, are you getting medicinal herbs? What is it for? ”
"Stupid, this is Tianshan Snow Lotus, that's Black Chicken White Phoenix Pill. I've got both of these for you. Old Man Dong glanced at his apprentice and smiled a little fondly.
As soon as Yun Xue heard this, she understood, Shen also said a while ago that if you can have these things, your own problems can be slowly adjusted. "Master, where are you?" Yun Xue felt that she didn't know what to say.
Old Man Dong looked at Yun Zhen, "Boy, someone is coming outside to eat, you go and help out." I have something to say to your eldest sister, stay a little longer and then go out to eat. “
Yun Zhen understood that the two masters and apprentices must have something to say and didn't want to let themselves listen, so he went out to work very obediently.
When Yun Zhen left, Old Man Dong said, "Girl, I have long seen that your body is not very proper, so at the beginning of spring this year, I will leave to find medicine for you." This black chicken is an authentic Taihe black chicken, I made a pill for you, and it is more convenient to eat. That Snow Lotus, I just got it back not long ago, and I haven't had time to dispense medicine. You take it first, and when I have the kung fu, I'll give you all the medicinal materials. ”
It turned out that this old man Dong had been looking for medicine for Yunxue all summer. Yun Xue knew this, and she was so excited that she didn't know what to do. "Master's great kindness, how can I repay the apprentice?" Yun Xue couldn't help but shed tears.
"Look at you like that, you're crying. Master has never been able to teach you well since he accepted you as an apprentice, and it is really that Master still has too many things to do, and he can't be busy. This time, I also went to Xijiang to do errands, and I helped you pick a few snow lotuses by the way. If you don't take care of this problem, you can't do it, a woman, you have to become your own child, it can be considered complete. The old man looked at Yun Xue with a smile. His qualifications to cherish Yunxue are one thing, and the other is to look at Yunxue in his eyes. Otherwise, he has seen more talented people over the years, and he will not be confiscated as an apprentice?
"Okay, hurry up and pack up your things, put them away, don't let outsiders know." The old man commanded.
Yun Xue hurriedly hid the two boxes, and then she remembered the deer placenta paste that Shen had boiled for herself. "Master, I'm eating deer placenta paste right now, it's not easy to mix these together, right?"
"Oh? Which doctor gave you deer placenta cream? You bring it to me to see, we don't eat the bad ones, and wait for the master to boil them for you personally. "When the old man heard it, he had to see it.
Yun Xue took out the small jar and handed it to Old Man Dong.
The old man opened the jar, sniffed it, and then scooped it out with a small spoon and tasted it. "Well, that's right, this brewing medicine has been very good at home, and the year of the medicine in it is not low. Okay, it's a good thing, you can eat it first. The old man nodded, and the medicine was passed. Since you have already eaten this deer placenta paste, then eat it first, and when you finish eating, you will eat the black chicken and white phoenix pills after a while. The rest of the snow lotus, don't move for the time being, keep it for a while, and then talk about it. ”
The old man's meaning was naturally to wait to see how Yun Xue's body was doing, and then to think about the prescription.
The people outside had eaten breakfast and went out to work. Yun Xue and Old Man Dong also came out of the house at this time and ate something casually. The old man couldn't help but ask which doctor was the one who gave Yun Xue the medicine, and this Yun Xue naturally wouldn't hide it, so he said it directly.
"Surname Shen? But it's called Ning Yan? Unexpectedly, when the old man heard it, he asked such a question.
Yun Xue's eyes widened and she looked at the old man in front of her, "Master, how do you know?" You're too godly, aren't you? "Yun Xue is very impressed now, this old man, he is about to catch up with the immortals.
"Hahaha, I was just guessing who could make the medicine so similar to me, it turned out to be her. When the old man was playing around, he happened to treat a female doll in a large family's house. Later, I saw that the female doll was a material for studying medicine, so I stayed and taught her for a few years. However, the old man is an idle character, and he doesn't want to hold back in the big family all the time, so he left, but I didn't expect you to meet her. Things in this world are really unpredictable. The old man sighed, but there was a gleam in his eyes.
Yun Xue naturally didn't notice this, but just smiled and told her sister about worshipping the Shen family as a teacher. It seems a bit messy like this.
"It's okay, I only instructed her for a few years back then, and I didn't accept her as an apprentice. The old man was most afraid of being tied up at that time, where was he willing to accept apprentices? The old man seemed to see what Yun Xue was thinking, and shook his head to solve Yun Xue's doubts. This person is really fate, the old man and you are in love, but unfortunately I haven't been able to teach you something before. There are too many things to do with Master, so don't complain about Master. ”
Speaking of which, the old man is really a little sorry, he accepted apprentices, but there were failed apprentices to teach well, this master should be, but he was a little too irresponsible.
"How can it be, the master is willing to accept me as an apprentice, and he still runs so far for me, I am too late to be grateful." Yun Xue smiled and comforted the old man. In fact, Yun Xue wanted the old man to point out Yun Zhen, after all, for martial arts training, boys are more malleable. She didn't know what to say, though.
