Chapter 90: Chasing a Deer in the Mountains Meets White Hair
The three of them walked through the mountains and forests.
The trees here are relatively low, so the sun shines in easily. In that sunny place, you can find medicinal herbs.
It took about half an hour to search for medicine, and the cloth bag in Alayanzong's hand was full.
After tying up the cloth bag and handing it over to Anna Xiaoer, Alayanzong said that he was looking for prey, so he walked deep into the woods.
Ula Peach and Allah followed behind, just focusing on the tree to see if there was any edible fruit.
Suddenly, the grass shook about ten meters in front of me, and several colorful feathers swayed with the tips of the grass.
Alayanzong was overjoyed, and there was no need to think about it, it was a pheasant. A few leaps jumped in front of him, and the pheasant was alert, cooing and running.
However, it was already late, and he had just run out of two or three meters, and Alayanzong pounced and caught the pheasant in his hand. After checking it, it weighed two or three catties, and such a heavy pheasant is rare. Alayanzong tied the pheasant with a string and handed it to the peach of Ullah, which came with him.
Ula Peach smiled, picked up the pheasant and looked at it, stroked the beautiful feathers, and said to Allah, "We can open meat today, don't spoil these feathers for me when you slaughter them." ”
Allah Xiaoer also smiled, nodded again and again, and said, "Okay, you can use it to make a feather duster." ”
Ula no Peach laughed and walked forward again.
There is really a lot of game here, and in less than an hour, Alayanzong caught two pheasants and two hares.
The harvest was very rich, and the three of them were happy, so they went forward from the forest to find a way out of the mountain.
Finally, I saw a small stream winding north down the valley. The trio walked along the stream, intending to find a suitable place to process the game into food.
While walking, Alayanzong saw a sika deer standing by the stream about twenty meters ahead, drinking water. Alayanzong hurried towards the deer.
The deer was unusually alert, and when he heard footsteps, he turned around and ran up the hill, and Alayanzong followed.
The deer burrowed into the forest, and Alayanzong chased him to the edge of the forest.
Seeing that the deer quickly disappeared, Ula Peach shouted from behind: "Don't chase it, we have already caught a lot, enough to eat a few meals." Then he ran two steps with Allah and followed.
Alayanzong did not stop chasing, but said, "Catching it is enough for us to eat for a few days." And he went into the woods.
Ullah's peach feared that the three of them would be separated, so he followed closely with Allah's little two.
To the surprise of Alayanzong, the deer entered the forest, climbed a hill with three jumps and two jumps, and then disappeared.
When Alayanzong followed uphill, he was even more surprised!
What appeared in front of him was a thatched house, and here was the back of the thatched house.
If there is a house in the mountains, it must be inhabited, and those who live here are generally hunters.
Alayanzong thought about it, the sika deer was gone, and he found a place to borrow Orion's stove to make it more convenient to deal with those pheasants and hares.
When I went around to the front of the room, I saw an old man sitting cross-legged in front of the door, with long white hair tied up in a bun, and a white robe covering his legs. The old man's waist is straight, and he does not lose the bones of the fairy wind.
The white-haired old man didn't move, but he opened his mouth and said, "The sika deer is surprised that there must be a guest visiting, and the three cyclamen must have taken a fancy to my sika deer." ”
Alayanzong was taken aback, the two of them were still twenty meters away from the forest, but the white-haired old man had already heard that they were several people.
Hearing the words of the white-haired old man, the sika deer seemed to be his pet, and when he saw the thatched house door open, it must have been the deer hiding in the house.
Seeing the white-haired old man meditating with his eyes closed, he didn't open his eyes or turn his head, let alone look at the Alayan sect, just like an old monk sitting in meditation.
Alayanzong clenched his fists and saluted, "Disturb the old man." ”
Hearing what Alayanzong said, the white-haired old man turned his head. The old man had white eyebrows and white beard, deep eye sockets, a pair of eyes that were crystal clear, and his face was unusually white without a trace of wrinkles.
Alayanzong was surprised in his heart, this is the crane hair's childish face.
"Passers-by passing by occasionally are not disturbing. Cyclamen is fate, if there is any need, just ask, the old man should provide convenience. ”
At this time, Ula Peach and Allah Xiaoer also came around from the back of the house, and they were equally surprised to see the white-haired old man.
Alayanzong smiled, leaned over slightly and said, "Since the old man is so sincere, then can we borrow the pot stove you have here to deal with these chickens and rabbits." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the prey in the hands of Ulla's Peach.
"Hahahaha!" The white-haired old man raised his head and smiled: "This is naturally okay, presumably you are chasing my sika deer to wrap your belly!"
Alayanzong hurriedly gave a deep salute, "The old man smiled. ”
The white-haired old man pointed behind him and said, "There are all kinds of pots and pans in the house, you can take them for your own use." And the bamboo chair, which can be moved to chat with me. Hahaha!"
Alayanzong saluted again, "Thank you, old man." So the three men went into the house and looked for their belongings.
There are three thatched houses, and the middle hall is a kitchen, and all the items mentioned by the white-haired old man can be found here. Although the things in the hut are simple, they are all wiped clean and neatly placed.
The sika deer in the west room stood there, staring vigilantly at the three members of the Alayan Sect. Alayanzong shook his head and grinned.
The east side should be the old man's bedroom.
Alayanzong felt that if he cleaned up the pheasants and hares in this house, he would definitely make the house dirty, so the three of them took all kinds of tools out of the house and moved bamboo chairs.
Alayandzong carried a wooden barrel to the stream to fetch water, and Allah, with the help of the peach of Ula, began to skin the hare.
When Alayanzong came back from fetching water, he saw that the white-haired old man and the peach of Ula were talking very happily.
And Alayanzon took another piece of wood and went to make a fire and boil water.
After cleaning up the pheasants and hares, Allah went to the house and stewed them in a pot.
The white-haired old man may have lived alone for a long time, and when he meets outsiders, once he chats, he will talk endlessly.
Knowing that the three of them were going to the royal city, the white-haired old man sighed. Alayanzong asked, "Why is the old man sighing?"
The white-haired old man stroked his silver beard, and the cheerful look of the previous conversation had faded, replaced by a lonely color.
"The little brother wanders the rivers and lakes, can you know that the rivers and lakes are sinister?"
Alayanzong sat on the bamboo chair, and when he saw the white-haired old man asking so seriously, he replied respectfully:
"People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. ”
The old man chuckled, "Hehe! If you can know that people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, then you also know that the world is difficult and everything is difficult." ”
Alayanzong couldn't help but think that his own experience was indeed the case, so he replied: "What the old man said is very true, and I am willing to listen to the old man's teachings. ”
The white-haired old man looked at Alayanzong again.
"The old man sees that you are delicate, carrying two buckets of water as if you are carrying nothing, you can chase my sika deer almost close, you are vigorous, your steps are light, and you naturally know martial arts with a sword on your waist and hips, and you are naturally willing to listen to the stories of martial artists. ”
Seeing that the old man was meticulous in his observation and accurate judgment, and was more interested in listening to him, he hurriedly said:
"I'll listen to you. ”
