In the afternoon of this day, the wind was gentle and the sun was shining.

Located in the small courtyard on the mountainside of the island in the middle of the lake, there are no voices or figures in the surrounding silence, and it is surprisingly quiet.

"Squeak" The door sounded, Liu Zhiyuan rubbed his red and swollen eyes, snorted and ate, and came out of the bluestone tile house in the small courtyard.

After squinting his eyes and slowly getting used to the harsh sunlight outside, he stood at the wall and glanced around.

But when he saw that the heavens were empty, there was not a cloud of light. Occasionally, a slight wind blows, which is very warm on the body, and it carries the fragrance of some refreshing mountain flowers.

In the distance, the lake is calm, almost reflecting the clear sky, a large mirror, but a large flock of waterfowl frolicking on the surface of the water in the distance, stirring up layers of ripples.

The island in the middle of the lake is said to be an island, but it is actually a hill that outcrops the surface of the lake, and the radius is several miles.

The island is rocky, grassy and thick.

The reeds along the southern edge of the island grew unusually dense, crowded and connected into a vast expanse.

Liu Zhiyuan knew that at this time, the middle-aged man was fighting fish in the dense reeds.

This apprentice of the old man is really capable, and he is in charge of all the affairs on the island.

And the old man didn't know where he was in the deep mountains and old forests at this time, picking herbs.

Liu Zhiyuan has recovered his physical strength quickly under the conditioning of the old man's medicine in the past few days, and he walks around this island by himself in his spare time, and he also wants to see more about what this island is like.

In two days, the old man said that he would send him back, and it would be more than ten days, for fear that his master would worry.

"Alas——!" Liu Zhiyuan thought of this, let out a long sigh, and suddenly wanted to leave, he was really reluctant.

He touched the scene, was in a good mood for a while, pushed open the courtyard door, and walked away.

Stepping on the soft grass under his feet, he stopped from time to time to admire the scenery of the lake and mountains, and the birds and beasts in the jungle.

The whole person is immersed in the wonderful situation of escaping from the strife of the world and enjoying the tranquility and freshness of the world alone.

As I walked, I climbed over a hill, but I saw that this side of the mountain beam was full of slopes and stones, and there was nothing else except for some dwarf pine weeds that grew in the cracks of the stones.

He suddenly remembered that the old man had told him to only walk on this side of the hill, and never get to the other side of the hill.

What kind of beautiful scenery and dangerous places are there here, and you don't want to come here?! Adventure and differentness are the nature of human beings.

His mood then fell silent, and he was not only moved when he saw such a difference between inside and outside the slope.

Life is not like this, born between heaven and earth, but the circumstances are very different.

From this, I think of the impermanence of human life and death, and the fact that a person quacks into the world is really like the water of a river, and I don't know where it comes from and where it will eventually flow?

Thinking of the sad place, the sudden body emitted a huge pain, the whole body trembled, the forehead was full of beads of sweat the size of beans, and the lips were bloodless.

He grabbed his face helplessly with his hands, and felt that even his previously full cheeks were sinking deeply.

His face was horribly grey and dead, and he knew it was an attack.

He struggled to suppress his cough for a long time before he shouted in a low voice, "Come and save me......!"

Immediately after that, he fell to his knees and rolled down the cliff.

The old man with his eyebrows down who was sitting at the bottom of the cliff meditating with his eyes closed heard the sound and opened his eyes slightly.

But when he saw a black shadow flashing over his head, he was shocked, and before he could think about it, he jumped up, grabbed it, and gently fell back to the same place.

It came and went, so fast that it was as if it had never moved.

Put down the object in your hand gently, take a look with your eyes, and see clearly that it is a strong man, I don't know how to fall down from there, fortunately I have a quick eye, otherwise I fell under the cliff, but it will be more auspicious!

Seeing that his face was pale, his lips were purple, and his whole body trembled, he knew that his old disease had recurred.

Hurriedly stretched out two fingers and quickly pointed at several major acupuncture points such as Neiguan, Jizhong, and Taichong.

For a long time, Liu Zhiyuan's body moved, took a deep breath, and felt a nameless pain in his body, he couldn't help but tighten his eyebrows, raised his hand to touch his chest, and only opened his eyes after a long time, and looked at the old man in front of him in a daze, not knowing where he was in a trance.

"Are you awake?Where are you ......coming from?!" The old man stared at Liu Zhiyuan suspiciously.

Liu Zhiyuan touched his head, and Shao Lean was a little sober, remembering that he had just fallen from a cliff.

"Oh——! thank you uncle for saving ......?!" he said and got up to salute.

The old man waved his hand, and then let out a long sigh, "You are not lightly injured!

Liu Zhiyuan nodded gratefully and lay down again. The realization is to let him get up, and he has no strength to get up.

The old man with lowered eyebrows glanced at him, "You haven't answered my words yet, where are you ...... from?"

"I'm ......!" Liu Zhiyuan felt that it was really difficult to answer his words for a while, saying that he came from Pao Village, which was not accurate enough, because he had been away from Pao Village for a while.

As soon as he mentioned Pao Village, he thought of Sanniang, and his eyes turned red.

The old man with drooping eyebrows was displeased when he saw him spitting out, "......Is it inconvenient for this strong man to say?!"

Liu Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and when he heard that there seemed to be a reproach in his words, he immediately felt that it was inappropriate, and said in a hurry without thinking, "I came from the cave on the mountain by the lake." ”

"Oh——!" The old man nodded, and asked thoughtfully, "Don't you have a home, why do you live in a cave?"

"I'm ......!" Liu Zhiyuan wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't know where to start for a while.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and said slowly to the strange old man in front of him that he was most reluctant to look back on.

When Liu Zhiyuan finished talking about everything exhausted, he lay on the ground as if he had been hollowed out, let out a long breath, and didn't want to say a word more.

There was a silence, and the silence was somewhat terrible and abnormal.

After he has spent a long time narrating the first half of his life, the listener will not say a long comment, then you will at least as a courtesy, and you will have to sigh a few times and make a show.

You can't just be like a leaf falling into the water and let it drift silently!

Liu Zhiyuan's embarrassment at this time can be imagined by anyone.

Liu Zhiyuan believes that his past may be so insipid that people are too lazy to say a word!

He peeked at the old man with a red face, and if he didn't care, he was stunned all of a sudden.

I saw that the old man was already in tears, trembling all over, and his eyes were looking ahead in a daze......
