Chapter 2 The Old Man and the Child Who Loves to Lie
The cave was large and unusually quiet except for the sound of a campfire burning. The bonfire was large, the flames danced, and the cave was bright and red.
By the fire was the bosom that was still asleep, and he was saved. Next to him was an old man in red sitting quietly with his eyes closed, and it was the old man who appeared in front of him that day. Somewhat strangely, a golden-red rat also appeared next to the campfire, and the rat stuck out its nose and sniffed at the roast chicken on the campfire, revealing infinite greed.
The Huai by the fire slept for another day, in the eyes of the old man in red, with such a poor physique, coupled with the injury, the body was already weak, and the vitality of the Huai was not weakened because of this, but kept sleeping, maintaining a strong desire to survive. In his opinion, this is not simple.
The eyes of the old man sitting cross-legged were always closed, but at this time, he seemed to have a hopeful look towards his arms, as if he was about to wake up. I saw that the sleeping bosom was summoned, and suddenly his hand trembled, and his eyes finally began to accept a little light, and slowly opened. He didn't notice anyone around, only a burning fire, and it was no longer a familiar lake, but a strange cave.
"Are you awake?" said the old man with his eyes closed.
Huai turned his head weakly and found that there was an old man beside him, and his mind turned rapidly, only to understand that this old man must have saved him, but he wanted to say thank you, only to find that he couldn't open his mouth.
"When you wake up, sit up, a man can't just lie down forever. The old man seemed to be angry, and said slowly.
Huai also felt that this was not good, after all, the old man saved himself, and he didn't mention it, so he had to sit upright and be a little polite. "A man can't just lie down like this forever," yes, he can't lie like this, he still has to go to his grandfather, so he has to get up.
He wanted to get up, so he tried to hold his arm carefully, but it still hurt him, and his trembling arm swayed as if it had been boned. In the end, the body lost this pillar and fell heavily.
Back and forth several times, the old man relied on his keen perception, and the old man just sighed, but this sigh was an sigh for his perseverance and not giving up.
This is the old man slowly opened his eyes, with a slight smile on his face, and in his arms, a strong and soft force swept out from his body, enveloping it. Huai slowly sat up as light as a feather.
"Thank you."
At this time, Huai's heart felt a sense of intimacy and gratitude for this mysterious old man, although he still didn't have much to say, and he couldn't say much.
He sat and did not speak. Silence is one of the things that his mother has given him for more than ten years, learn to be silent and know how to be silent. Even if you are bullied, be silent. But silence does not mean silence and inaction, but to learn to observe and learn to accumulate.
Play a waiting game.
His current silence is to this unfathomable old man, he doesn't know what to say and has a trace of awe, if he says something wrong, it will be more than worth the loss, how to say that he is also a dead man who has just come back to life. Although at this time, the old pair has no ill will towards him now, he doesn't know what will happen next. Although there is a sense of intimacy, this is the principle that cannot be said for the heart of guarding against others. He began to be wary of his surroundings, looking at this strange thing.
His eyes began to scan three hundred and sixty degrees, looking at what he hoped to find. Eventually, he found a pair of very vigorous fires, and found some roasted meat on the fire, but he stopped, his eyes stopped moving, and he stopped. He hadn't eaten a full meal since he left home, and he hadn't eaten for several days in a coma. He was looking at it, his eyes, which had been lifeless just now, suddenly burst into light, he couldn't help it, he decided, he must eat this piece of meat.
"Coo-goo" the stomach began to growl.
But this is, Huai found that he had no strength, he had no way to move, and even if he moved forward a little bit, it was difficult, very difficult, very difficult.
"Ha Lu Ha," the old man in red beside the fire, seeing the eyes of a hungry wolf, no, it should be more fierce than a hungry wolf, he couldn't help but lose his calm, and Da Lu laughed. It seems that this old man does not have the seriousness of an ordinary old man.
Thousands of people, thousands of faces!
I saw that with a wave of the old man's sleeve, the barbecue on the fire slowly flew towards his arms, and finally stopped in front of him. I saw Huai grabbing the meat with both hands roughly, swallowing it in a big gulp, and there was no original silence and a trace of respect for the elderly. Regardless of his three-seven-twenty-one, the most important thing is his stomach now.
The old man also stopped laughing, he didn't eat, a smile on his face, looking at this strange bosom, feeling interested. Perhaps, the old man has also stayed here for too long, too lonely.
I saw that he had eaten the meat in his hand several times in a row, and he didn't even drop a piece of meat, and he ate all the meat into his stomach. But when he saw that there was still the only piece of meat on the fire, there was still dissatisfaction and unfinished in his eyes, and when he looked at it, only saliva flowed.
But he didn't move, he was waiting for the old man's help and tacit understanding, because it was too uncomfortable to move.
The old man seemed to have already seen that when he was about to finish eating, he had closed his eyes and never opened them again. This time, however, it was no longer a god.
The reason why Huai is called a teenager is not only the gap between age and the elderly, but the gap that cannot be filled in the soul and spirit.
Huai finally couldn't help it, but he finally saved up enough strength. I worked hard and moved forward. Actually, it's really close, it's close.
He finally showed a hint of excitement, and was about to touch the flesh when the forgotten mouse suddenly flew up, and its two little paws easily grabbed the meat and ran to the side of the fire, and showed him a sly look.
When Huai saw this scene, his face was terrified, and his breathing became short. After all, he had seen mice, but he had never seen rats like this.
"Oh, little one, don't be afraid, it won't hurt you," the old man explained with a smile, dispelling his doubts. "I haven't eaten in a long time, right? Eating so much at once now won't do you any good. ”
"Oh," Huai squeaked, and he could only do this, the meat was gone, and he didn't let people eat it, and he said it so magnificently.
"What's your name?" asked the old man.
"Yes," replied skeptically and timidly.
"Hehe, don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person, and if I were a bad person, I wouldn't save you. The old man continued.
I thought about it, too. But whose face has the bad guy written on it?
"Are you from the Tianxin Empire?" the old man continued.
"It's the Azure Empire," Huai replied respectfully.
On this known continent, there are seven great empires. The north and south are opposite to the two largest countries, the Mandate of Heaven Empire and the Azure Empire, and in the middle of the two empires, they are distributed like a separate belt, the five empires of Tianxin, Tianyou, Tianwei, Tianhui and Tianren. And these five empires were all the land of the Azure Empire thousands of years ago.
The Tianxin Empire is located to the west of the Azure Empire, and it is also the closest to the Tianxin Empire, so the old man will think that Huai is a person from the Tianxin Empire.
"Sky blue," the old man thought thoughtfully, "I haven't been back for many years."
"Then how did you end up here?"
"I don't know what to do. ”
"What about your family?"
"I don't know what to do. ”
"Ha Lu Ha Ha", Huai replied dryly, making the old man Ha Lu Ha laugh.
"You little fellow is so funny, if I ask you, who are your parents, don't you know what to say?" the old man asked a little calmly.
"I don't know what to say," Huai replied clearly again. There is not a single superfluous word.
"Hmph," after hearing this, the old man's face turned slightly cold, and he no longer had the smile just now, "you have finished eating, and it is time to go, although you are very pitiful now, I really don't like children who love to lie." The old man tried to find out the unknown boy in this way.
"I'm not lying, I really don't know anything, my father, I've never seen it, my mother hasn't seen me for seven or eight years, I really don't know what they're called, where they are, and I'm not lying," explained Huai in alarm, where he could go now, he was still hurt.
"Okay", the old man seemed to be interested in Huai, "then you tell me, how to fall off the cliff if you don't take the road well, don't tell me that you are learning high jump, and don't say that you don't know the way." ”
"This, I know this," Huai grabbed the words, paused, and said seriously, "I ran out of school, I ran out secretly, it's not a place for people to stay"
When Huai said this, it was very painful, and tears seemed to be dripping.
"I wanted to go home, I wanted to go to my grandfather, my father and my mother, I had never seen them, and my mother hadn't come to see me for seven or eight years, so I sneaked out. But I don't know where the Taoist family is, I have been going north, my grandfather once told me that he wanted me to go to the north to find him, which is just some childhood memories. But I got lost, I didn't find my home, and I couldn't go back. I was in a forest, and I was chased by a pack of mad dogs, and I threw them off several times, but they chased me again, and finally they drove me to the edge of the cliff and accidentally fell down!"
The old man looked at this bosom and listened to this strange story, and seemed to feel a little sympathetic and lucky for him. Because such a big hatred can't be pretended.
"But I never understood that those dogs could kill me, but they always seemed to be playing with me and didn't kill me. By the way, senior, they seem to have been smiling at me, "How can a dog laugh?" Huai was puzzled, he hoped that this mysterious old man would be able to answer his question.
"Summoning beast?" When Huai said the word "laugh", the three words suddenly burst out of the old man's mouth.
"Summoning beasts?" Huai had never heard of that word at all.
"You don't have to understand this question now, go on?" the old man seemed to be more and more interested in Huai's experience, and he could now fully believe what Huai had said, and the wounds on his body, from his most descriptive description.
"They seem to be smiling at me all the time," he said, wondering if he had missed anything, but he was actually very happy that the old man finally believed him.
At least he's safe now.
Staying alive is the best hope!
"That's right, just like you smiled at me," Huai added.
"Haha
This was not the old man's voice, and before he had time to look at it, he saw the old man's iron face turn blue in an instant.
Huai Zhilu said that he had said the wrong thing.
