Li Laodan's love story is simply that men are silent when they see it, and women cry when they see it, why doesn't Liu Ruxiang react at all?

I turned my head to look at the cook, and looked at her with a strange look.

Her face was flat, she was simply paralyzed, and she looked around from time to time.

Li Laodan wiped his eyes, nodded and promised Liu Ruxiang, saying that he would not talk about it, and the speed under his feet gradually increased.

The mountain behind their village is a branch of Longming Mountain, and as long as you keep going east, you can reach Longming Mountain.

There are a lot of traces of human activities on the periphery of the mountain, and a few of us can walk along the path on the mountain, without the need to open the way, just walk for more than 20 minutes, and we have climbed to the halfway point of this branch mountain.

When we arrived, there were more trees, weeds, and shrubs on the mountain, and the speed of our group gradually slowed down.

However, Li Laodan is indeed very familiar with this place, and he said very confidently: "On this mountain, including the western half of Longming Mountain, I am afraid that no one will avoid me and become more familiar with it!" ”

"For so many years, every two days I have to go up the mountain to pick astragalus for my wife, and it has never stopped. This large area of land, which is soft and which is wet, I stand on the hill and look down, and I can see at a glance. Li Laodan stroked his beard with a smile on his face.

I admire him in my heart, a man who insists on going up the mountain to collect medicine for decades in order to treat his wife's illness, just ask, how many people can do it?

However, Liu Ruxiang was not interested in this old man Li, and still urged him to lead the way quickly with a straight face.

As we walked up the mountain, we climbed a steep long slope in succession.

Although Li Laodan is old, he is getting stronger and stronger, and his body is still vigorous, he still has a lot of muscles on his lean body, and the skin of his body is not as loose as that of ordinary old people.

But Rao was so, and several of us were a little tired, and we stepped on a piece of thatch, and we sat on it to rest.

We sat on the ground drinking water, and just after a short rest, suddenly a cool breeze blew in the mountains and forests.

At this time, it was already January, and it didn't snow like in the north, but the temperature plummeted, and the hot and humid climate immediately turned into wet and cold, and I heard that many northerners couldn't bear this cold.

In this mountain forest, I rubbed my hands, looked at Liu Ruxiang, and suddenly thought of something.

"Master, can you still call the big snake?"

Liu Ruxiang glanced at me.

"Little fool, where are there snakes in this winter, snakes are going to hibernate, and the snake's five senses are closed at this time. Wait until next spring to come out. No matter how hard you practice snake calling, you can't get the snakes out of the ground. ”

Liu Ruxiang continued: "I said that when you escaped from the hospital before, you were surrounded by those people, and the master couldn't exhale the powerful silver krait at that time, because the silver snake was already in season, and it was time to rest." ”

This can be regarded as solving the doubts in my heart, so isn't there a big killer weapon directly missing in Liu Ruxiang's hand, at least this thing is very powerful against people.

Liu Ruxiang smiled: "There are pros and cons to everything, you can't rely too much on others or external objects, and you must be fully prepared to face unknown problems." If there is a person who specializes in this kind of magic, won't he have to stay at home all day in the cold? ”

I scratched my head and it dawned on me.

Our master and apprentice just chatted like this, and did not avoid this Li Laodan.

After eating a few more pieces of pond and some snacks and chicken cakes, the three of us continued on the road to departure.

At this time, it was already past noon, Liu Ruxiang looked at the hand, and the time showed that it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

Liu Ruxiang was a little anxious at this time, urging Li Laodan, and asked him: "Uncle, where is the ghoul dog, why haven't you seen it until now, didn't you say that after you enter the mountain, there will be ghoul dogs just following you?" ”

Li Laodan stopped and looked behind him and around: "Come on, Master Liu, you come with me for a while, after all, this place still belongs to the periphery of Longming Mountain, there are not many rabbits, roe deer or anything, and the ghoul dog can't eat anything here." ”

However, there is one that is quite curious, listening to Li Laodan, this dog still eats these animals, is it because we misunderstood him and didn't eat the dead?

The cheap uncle I recognized before was injured and lost his soul.

Leaving a body at home is very similar to a dead person, Liu Ruxiang said that the ghoul dog will be attracted at this time, so it will come to block our way.

This one is all said by Liu Ruxiang, is it possible that this ghoul dog doesn't eat the dead, because we misunderstood it?

Li Laodan was trying his best to defend his dog: "That dog, it will only come out of the mountain to eat corpses when it is extremely hungry, I know him better than all of you." ”

For a moment, my eyes widened, as if I vaguely thought of something.

Before, Jiangdong sent Shi Gong to abandon his son to disguise himself as a villager Meng Lao'er and control the small mandrill in Fang Xiaomei's stomach, and when we entered the mountain with him, we were attacked by a monkey.

Those monkeys were also driven by the old mandrill, could it be that the old mandrill drove away the ghouls, causing the ghouls to find food in the mountains, so they went down the mountain, and happened to target my uncle's body?

All of a sudden, it's a perfect logical chain, and the time is very similar.

I turned my head, then slowed down and told Liu Ruxiang what I had in mind.

"I see."

Master only replied to me with these three words, which was unpredictable.

If you look at it this way, the ghoul is a good dog that is not so bad, and if you go and kill it now, wouldn't it be considered indiscriminate killing of innocents.

Liu Ruxiang didn't answer the doubts in my heart, and continued to follow Li Laodan towards the mountain.

It was slowly getting dark.

The days in winter are very short, and by five o'clock, it is almost dark.

At this time, Li Laodan's house was only his wife, that is, the old woman who was degraded and full of teeth, lying lonely on the bed, her eyelids rolling hard, trying to look at the window behind her.

But almost every muscle on her body was covered with those white bony teeth.

I don't know if anyone has suffered from diseases such as herniated disc and bone spurs. The former is the inside of the human lumbar vertebrae, and the nucleus pulposus in the bone protrudes, like a finger on your eyeball, compressing the nerves, and causing severe pain when the disease occurs.

Bone spurs and bone hyperplasia are also similar principles, growing out to compress nerves, sting muscles, life is worse than death, people are also considered half-wasted, shoulders can not resist, hands can not lift.

And Li Laodan's wife, the tooth in the head, is a first-class vicious, just like a person has bone hyperplasia in every bone on his body, even if he is lying motionless on the bed, he will be like ten thousand ants devouring his heart.

Over the years, the old woman has suffered a lot, and if it weren't for the little boy who had been taking care of her who had been taking care of her, she might have thought about it in vain.

But...... Thinking of today's strange pair of master and apprentice, her heart slowly relaxed.

On the last journey of this life, I was finally able to take out the thing that had been tortured for so many years from my body.

Although the derived dentures are still in her body, it is as if she has removed her heart disease, and she feels comfortable and no longer has that uncomfortable feeling.

Thinking of this, she looked up and saw that the walls of the roof were getting darker and darker, and it should be getting dark soon.

Time...... It's ......

The wife had already washed her, and in her hand, she was still gently holding a silver ring.

This was the first gift he gave her when she remarried Li Laodan when she was young.

In this life, she has been married twice, and she has never been in a serious situation. The first time she got married, she was just a sacrificed woman, and her brother took a fancy to the sister of that family, but the brother of that family didn't like her.

After getting married, I often kept an empty room late at night, and I could only see my husband come back from gambling outside in the middle of the night.

Later, the family was defeated, and he was married by Li Laodan's family, because he took out dozens of catties of rice, and the days that followed were tight.

That year, the wheat was sold, and Li Laodan took her to the market to buy this thin silver ring.

Time flies, when the couple stole the dog, she was unfortunately bitten on the finger by the dog, but the dog happened to bite the ring, her hand was not a big deal, but the ring was broken.

The broken ring in the back was put away until noon, when Li Laodan left, it was quietly handed to her.

She didn't look at the ring, but as soon as she touched the familiar texture and pattern, she knew it was the ring.

She knew what her wife Li Laodan thought, and told her all the plans.

They will never see each other again......

The old woman's eyes flowed with tears.

She choked up and wanted to cry, but she couldn't, and could only make a terrible sound from her throat.

The old couple saved two coffin books, bought a coffin first, and threw it in the front room.

It was a big coffin, and it had been painted red.

My wife said to her, "Sister, this is my last gift to you...... If we have the chance, we can still sleep together, and if we don't, you can use it. ”

The old woman was lying on the bed, and she had faintly felt a feeling of tightness in her chest half a day ago. She was thinking wildly, and she always felt that she was leaving.

This kind of feeling is the feeling that people can only have when the limit is approaching.

She sighed and moved her body slightly with all her might.

Just a slight twist on her waist, the teeth in the muscles of her body rubbed and squeezed each other, as if chewing on her flesh and nerves.

Cold sweat broke out of her body, and she finally fell out of bed with all the strength of her body, as if she was dying.

The bed was low, not high, and the pain that fell from it was not even as good as the pain she was suffering all the time.

Her mouth trembled, and she crawled outside.

She wanted to see what the last gift this brother gave her was like.
