In less than half an hour, the grease from the hare's roasting fire fell on the fire dripping, emitting bursts of burnt smell and fragrance.

After more than forty minutes, the hare was roasted to the outside and tender on the inside, exuding an attractive aroma, Wanru was a little salivating, this smell was really good.

Then he put another branch, strung with a hare, and put it on the fire and roasted it.

She picked up a ten-centimeter-long knife that her uncle put aside, and wanted to cut off a piece of meat first to eat it as soon as possible, but before she cut the meat, she didn't expect the old man to wake up at just the right time.

Wanru had no choice but to smile and say, "Uncle Shi, I want to taste it." What kind of condiments are you putting here, why is it so fragrant? ”

The old man stood up, came and sat down, pointed out to her some grass, and said:

The Great Forest is a treasure trove, not only wild animals, but also all kinds of herbs, some to stop bleeding, some to reduce inflammation, some to promote blood circulation and blood stasis, and some to promote wound healing.

Don't underestimate the animals, they are very smart, they know the effects of various herbs better than us, and once they are injured, they will eat some herbs to heal the wounds.

Secondly, these kinds of weeds can remove the fishy smell of meat, and after baking, it can also make the meat more flavorful. It tastes even more delicious.

The old man took the roasted rabbit meat, tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to Wanru.

Wanru took it, and chewed it in a big gulp, and the more she ate, the more she felt that it was just like what he said, not only not greasy but also very delicious, and she quickly ate it all.

Looking at the old man's hand again, he was so hungry that the physical strength consumed today kept up with the previous days.

The old man handed her another rabbit leg.

Wanru took it and roasted the other one while eating, and said to herself:

"Haha, it would be nice to have some more wine. With such a fragrant barbecue, it is perfect for accompaniment. ”

The old man rolled his eyes at her, took out two gourds from his cloth bag, handed one to Wanru, and specially admonished:

You can only drink so much, and if you drink too much, you will be ruined.

The herbs used to make sake are very precious and difficult to come by. Promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, replenishing qi and maintaining health is only one of them; It can also relax the muscles and invigorate the blood, soften the blood vessels, and be beneficial to the five internal organs.

For example, when people get older, their skin will loosen, and in fact, this phenomenon will also occur in organs. When the heart is strong and the blood vessels in the whole body are unblocked, people can be more energetic.

If the blood circulation is slow, it can make the body weak and unable to refresh itself.

Wanru took the gourd and felt it in her hand, at most three taels of wine.

I thought to myself, you old man is so stingy.

Smiled and asked tentatively: "Uncle Shi, does this wine have any therapeutic effect on high blood pressure?" ”

"Of course, there is, invigorating blood and removing blood stasis is the best curative effect. It can promote blood circulation, dissolve blood clots, and make blood flow smoothly. ”

After Wanru heard this, she hurriedly said: "Then I won't drink it, and keep it and take it back to the old people at home to drink." ”

The old man glanced at her with disgust, and said:

"Stinky girl, I found out that you were thinking about my wine. Drink it, I'll keep it for you." Take them all with you when you come down the mountain. ”

Wanru immediately smiled like a flower, thinking to herself, she knew that her little caution would not escape his old man's eyes.

Hurriedly flattered and said, "Hehe, otherwise, you are my uncle." ”

In fact, she still has one sentence that she didn't dare to say, that is, "You, you are old and fine".

The old man laughed so much that his white beard pouted and looked at her with squinted eyes. said: "Little girl, you are very slippery." ”

Wanru grinned and laughed, and then said seriously: "Uncle Shi, I see that your houses here are very dilapidated, didn't you think to repair them?" ”

"I don't have the money, I can only maintain the status quo. It was renovated 40 years ago. ”

"I can do it for you. Don't you really want to go down the mountain with me? ”

"Yes, I like to be quiet, so I'll stay here for the rest of my life."

"Then I'll pay for your cultivation temple."

"What? Are you rich? ”

Wanru bowed slightly: Sort of. Didn't my master tell you that I was in business at that time?

I've been in business for more than 30 years now. The vegetables I brought were grown in the greenhouses we developed; The clothes and quilts I brought were processed and made by my textile factory.

I am confident that it will not be less than my master's inheritance.

The old man looked at her stunned and asked in disbelief: "You girl, you have a very loud mouth!" ”

"Hehe, I'm not really bragging. My classmates and I have five or six factories, seven or eight supermarkets, hotels and guesthouses. So, don't be polite to me. Smile at what you're given. ”

The old man knew that this girl wouldn't talk nonsense, so he thought about it and said, "You can discuss the matter of repairing the Taoist temple with your senior brother." I'm old and don't care anymore. ”

"Okay."

After lunch, the old man used a bamboo tube to make a cup of tea for each person, and the two drank it slowly.

There is a stream in front of me, and the clear water sings a song of joy; There is the chirping of birds in the trees, and the breeze blowing through the trees, blowing the chirping of leaves.

Golden sunlight casts through the leaves on the ground, reflecting a dazzling light on the stream.

All this made Wanru feel very comfortable to be able to take a break in such an environment.

Wanru retracted her gaze and asked, "Uncle Shi, didn't my master take revenge on the servant who took away his treasure?" ”

The old man said, "I heard your master say that after going down the mountain that time, he was also looking for it, and when he found it, the servant also became a beggar on the street.

After he left your master, he was found in less than two years, robbed of his belongings and beat him violently. Blinded one of his eyes, too.

When your master saw him, not only did he not take revenge on him, but he also gave him some money.

Wanru asked again: "You said that the recipe for brewing wine was given by the master." Doesn't Master himself know how to make wine? ”

The old man fell into deep thought again, and after a while said, "This is the time when my senior brother sent my master to the mountain." The two of us stayed at Master's bedside. From his neck, the senior brother took off a piece of ornament made of jujube wood.

He pulled out a piece of paper from the mezzanine, and it was written anyway.

He told me that it was the recipe of their home wine, and asked me to study it well, and in the future, I would make wine for the master to drink, and it was not realistic to go down the mountain to buy wine, and it was also very troublesome to bring it up the mountain.

For the sake of Master, I agreed. In less than two years, I was able to make wine, and then I added some herbs so that Master could get better as soon as possible.

Over time, the more the medicinal wine is improved, the better the effect. So the master lived to be one hundred and six years old.

This time, my brother went up the mountain, and I took care of him in the same way, so he only drove the crane west when he was one hundred and ten years old.

Wanru asked, "Didn't Master go to his two elder brothers?" Since there are brewing recipes, it won't be difficult to find them in this way, right? ”

The old man said: Your master said that he had met his eldest brother, his eldest brother joined the Red Army, and the second brother did not survive and was robbed and killed.

Actually, only the accessories your master wears have the recipe for brewing, and the accessories that his two older brothers wear have treasure maps inside.

His father was very shrewd and knew that there was no one who was unmoved in the face of money.

The gold and silver they brought with them were actually just hoping that the three servants, for the sake of money, would take care of their brothers for a few more years.

Once the three of them are growing up, they can find out the treasure and make a living by doing some small business. His eldest brother, however, found out all the treasures and bought medicinal herbs and food for the troops.

Wanru asked, "Master's eldest brother, what happened later?" ”

"Died on the battlefield."

Wanru was really sad about what happened to her master, although she still had a lot to ask in her heart, she really didn't have the courage to ask any more.

It's really like Uncle Shi said, if you want to understand Master's past, it is absolutely impossible to do it in three days and three nights. Save that for later when you go up the mountain.

The two men were full of food and drink, and the old man packed all the utensils into his cloth bag.

Let Wanru clean up the ashes from the roasting hare just now. It was also washed with water.

The old man stood up and said to Wanru: After I understand your martial arts, there is really nothing to teach you. Just follow me for a quick walk through the forest.

It seems simple, but it's a life-saving skill. Needless to say, your master said that your comprehension is very good, so take your time to enlighten.

Wanru thought to herself, it would probably be enough to be able to run through the forest as fast as you and not be cut by the branches.

There are too many benefits like this, not only can you escape at a critical moment, but you can also quickly dodge the opponent's tricks.

Wanru followed closely behind him, watching his steps, although he was moving fast, he seemed to have eyes in front and back, left and right, no matter how he walked, his body would never be scratched by the branches.

On the way, he saw another hare, and the old man asked Wanru to chase after her, and Wanru didn't say anything after her.

It wasn't until I ran for more than thirty minutes that I caught it. This time, her clothes were scratched twice by a branch.

Wanru complained to the old man: "If this continues, within three days, my clothes will become beggar's clothes." Uncle Shi, I came to see you this time, and when I go back, those friends of mine will think that you have been abused during their time here. ”

The old man smiled and said, "It's you who are too stupid." I'll be fine, as long as you can catch up with the rabbit and your clothes won't scratch again, even if you have a lot of money this time. ”

Wanru said forcefully: "This is a bit unfair, you have said it, you have been in and out of this forest for almost a hundred years, am I an immortal?" How many days will you be like you? ”

"I don't care, you have to do it. You are indeed not an immortal, nor are you an ordinary person. You should work harder, and maybe you'll save your life in the future, so don't bargain with me. ”

Wanru shrugged her shoulders and followed him this time, watching his steps follow.

One old and one young, sometimes extremely fast, sometimes very slow.

Wanru was so tired that she was sweating, and asked with a wicked smile: "Uncle Shi, you won't find your way back, right?" ”

The old man stopped and pointed to the tree beside him, and said:

Wherever you go to the forest, be sure to observe the characteristics of the trees.

You can see the canopy here, the south-facing side, with lush foliage and very dense branches. As long as you can see this, cloudy and rainy weather, you can tell the direction.

Then there is the time and the position of the sun. It's also a good way to judge the direction.

Wanru thought to herself, in fact, as long as she has a compass, she can do it. However, he still didn't dare to refute the old man's words, and observed and remembered them carefully.

Wanru followed the old man and walked quickly, and she also encountered two pheasants, and before the old man could speak, she hit them down with stones.

Towards dusk, the two caught two hares.

Back at the Taoist temple, the old man asked Ah Dong to give the hare and pheasant he brought back to the senior brother for him to stew. I'll go to the attic for a drink later.

Wanru went back to the attic, took a hot shower, and changed her clothes.

Just as he was about to go downstairs, he received a call from his father Zhang Fakui:

"You girl, Yulu and Shiya are about to get married, and you still have the leisure to go to Mangshan to play. How did you become a mother? ”

"Dad, you are the emperor and the eunuch is not in a hurry, you don't need to be so nervous, everything is in the plan."

"Stinky girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Your mother asked me to ask you, do you need to prepare a quilt for the two sisters? ”

"No, you don't. Shiya is ready. You can go over on the 24th or 5th. I have also prepared the gift money you gave to the two of them, and you can go over and drink the wedding wine. ”

"Your eldest brother and second brother have also discussed, and on November 16, Wen Jing and Wen Jun also got married. Where do I want to discuss with you? ”

"I discussed it with Wang Zhiyong, and I did it in the hotel in Jiangcheng City. Jiangcheng City is relatively close to the provincial capital. After getting married, they drove back to their new house in the provincial capital. I'll tell you more about it when I get back. ”

"There is another thing, your second uncle has been in poor health. Your nephew has also found a daughter-in-law and wants to get married this year. How much gift money are you going to give as an aunt? ”

The corners of Wanru's left mouth rose slightly, thinking, I didn't expect his old man's real intention to be here.

"Dad, you've gone around in such a big circle just for this, right?"

"Stinky girl. If I don't say it, you'll pretend to be stupid. How long has it been since you haven't been in contact with your second uncle's house? I heard that the dowry you gave Zhang Xuemei is not small. Doesn't it mean that your nephew is married? ”

"Dad, don't settle accounts with me. Zhang Xuemei is Zhang Xuemei, and Zhang Wangcai is Zhang Wangcai. Don't you just want me to pay? I gave it to him to build a new house in an apartment in the neighborhood where they lived. The value is also around three million. ”

"I heard that the neighborhood where you gave Wen Jing and Wen Jun the house, there is still an apartment to keep. Can't you give him a set there? ”

"Dad, you really dare to think about it. An apartment there is now worth seven or eight million yuan, and besides, the family lives in a community and can take care of each other. I'm really speechless about you. ”

"Stinky girl, aren't you also very generous for your two brothers? Am I wrong for being nicer to my brother? ”

"How could you be wrong? But you can get used to them, and I have no reason to get used to them. ”

"Stinky girl, if you don't give it, forget it. Can the apartment be renovated without renovation? Give me some more money!? ”

Wanru looked helpless, and really doubted whether he knew that he was not his biological daughter.

If it was her own daughter, she would never die in the pit.

sighed resentfully and said: Do you always listen to the second uncle crying poor again. His current vegetable shop earns nearly one million a year. Do you think I did nothing for them?

He was able to send vegetables and meat to the university and several units, but Wang Zhiyong took the initiative to give it to him. Can Zhang Wangcai do it?

The other party was finally silent for a few seconds, and then said in a soothing but unquestionable tone:

"Your mother and I gave him a gift of 600,000 yuan, you can take it for us!"

"Alas! You're really my real daddy! That's it. Hopefully this is the last time. ”

Wanru put away the phone and felt that one head and two were big. I don't know why? mentioned Zhang Wangcai and his second uncle, and he was very tired in his heart.

Wanru sat at the desk, calmed down for a while, dialed Shiya again, and heard: "Mom." Are you okay in Mangshan? ”

"It's fine. I'll have to stay for a few days. I will go back with your grandparents, grandparents. Have you found a wedding company? ”

"Yes, I've been looking for it a long time ago. My aunt will bring us my wedding dress with Yulu and the bridesmaids and groomsmen's clothes. My aunt and aunt helped us decorate our new house. Rest assured. ”

"Okay, we'll go back on time on the 21st."

Wanru stayed in the mountains for another five days, running through the forest with the old man, hunting hares and pheasants.

Under the guidance of the old man, not only did she no longer cut her clothes in the process of running, but also taught her how to quickly climb the tree with the help of branches.

Also learned to roast a hare pheasant, needed a variety of spices. Even the whole process of barbecue was completed by Wanru alone.

On this day, after the two of them ate roast pheasant, drinking fragrant tea, Wanru took out her mobile phone and instructed the old man to use it, how to open it, how to answer, and how to find out the phone number stored in the mobile phone.

You can even use the WeChat location system to send videos and take photos.

also deliberately took a selfie with the old man.

Although the old man was a very slow learner, she taught patiently.

Finally, he said: "If you can't make a phone call, there are two reasons, there is no signal, and then the phone is out of battery." Don't fall into the water, or your phone will be scrapped. ”

The old man took them all to heart and asked, "Are you going back?" ”

Wanru pursed her lips and smiled, knowing that the old man had lived for more than a hundred years, and he was not wasting his years. From teaching him how to use the phone, he already has insight into his purpose.

He smiled and said: Yes, my two daughters are going to get married on the 26th of this month, and I have to go back to attend the wedding.

Rest assured, I already love the forest here, and when I have time, I will come to see you, and we will come to hunt.

When I go back today, I will talk to the senior brother about donating money to repair the Taoist temple, and you can listen to it well. If the money is handed over to you, the wealth will be tempting, and it will bring you danger.

You're still like this, and you're living a good life at ease. You have my phone number and need money, and I'll transfer it to you right away.

I have written down Ah Dong's bank card, and I will transfer 10,000 yuan to him every month. Just as the living expenses of the two of you, let Ah Dong buy it back if you need anything.

The reason why I transfer money to you on a monthly basis is that I am afraid that he will run away with the money.

During the time that the old man and Wanru got along, they also felt very happy, and they felt very reluctant to lose the life they had just adapted to.

But she had plenty of reasons to go back, and she didn't allow herself to keep it.

I had to say, "Okay, it's better to come back in the autumn when the hares and pheasants are the fattest." Next time, I'll take you to the depths of the forest to hunt wild boars. ”
