Although carrying a burden, Li Yunsheng still went down the mountain before dark, and their father and son built a thatched hut on the roadside to the west of the foot of the mountain

The thatched hut was built by their father and son two or three years ago, and they cut down a few trees on the hill and moved some rocks, and every year they would renovate it, after all

After two or three years of tinkering, this thatched house is now a different situation, with stoves, tables, chairs, and beds, and the walls are firmly pasted with mud.

No wind can penetrate at all.

Li Yunsheng tidied up the hat and the clothes and put them away, then began to boil water on the stove, and then carefully scooped up a small bowl of flour from the tank behind the stove and began to mix the noodles. And halfway through, he suddenly stopped, thought for a moment to take out an egg from the flour jar and beat it into the flour, and when the noodles were well cut into thin strips, and the water in the pot was boiling, he put the cut noodles into the pot, picked up half a spoonful of lard from the small clay pot on the stove and put it in, and as soon as the lard entered the boiling water, it melted and turned into layers of beautiful oil flowers, and then put a handful of spicy seeds, and finally closed the lid of the pot and sat down in front of the stove to burn the fire.

After running outside with Li Shanzhu for so many years, Li Yunsheng has made a good meal, although the ingredients are very ordinary, but he does it very carefully, looking for some of it

I often eat food and make it delicious.

Li Yunsheng's father and son are very punctual in their work, every morning when the sky is slightly bright, the two of them jump their burdens up the mountain, and their father Li Shanzhu just rests in the small pavilion for a while, and then continues

The Ziyunguan went to help the Guanli do some chores, while Li Yunsheng bought hats and clothes in the small pavilion, and sometimes went to the Ziyunguan. Until it was dark

came down, Li Yunsheng went down the mountain and went back to the house to cook, every time it was almost the same, the rice was cooked, the dishes and chopsticks were set, and Li Shanzhu came back.

On this day, Li Yunsheng carefully wiped the small wooden table for eating in the house, rinsed the two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, wiped them clean with a dry rag, set them on the table, and knocked

There was a knock at the door.

It was Li Shanzhu who entered the door, although he was as thin and dark as Li Yunsheng, but he was tall and had to bend a little to walk in through the door, Li Mangosteen looked like a big man

Most of the peasants were the same, they didn't talk much, and when they saw Li Yunsheng, they just nodded, and then sat down directly at the table.

After serving two bowls of steaming noodles, Li Yunsheng sat down with him.

"You can put less oil. ”

Glancing at the oil flowers on the clear noodle soup in the bowl and a few wild onions floating on the soup, Li Shanzhu said with a hint of tiredness in his voice.

Li Yunsheng pursed his lips, and without speaking, he put his chopsticks into the bowl, grabbed a noodle and was about to send it to his mouth.

"Bang, bang......"

At this time, the knock on the door came again, Li Yunsheng hesitated, looked at Li Shanzhu, who was trying to pick noodles into his mouth, and put down the dishes and chopsticks a little unhappily and walked to the door and opened the door

。

There was an old woman standing at the door, the same one Li Yunsheng met in the pavilion today.

"I'm here to return the clothes. ”

The old man said with a somewhat shriveled smile.

"I'm tired of the old man. ”

At this time, Li Shanzhu also put down the dishes and chopsticks and stood up, and pulled away Li Yunsheng, who was standing there stunned, he saw the old woman's hand and understood, it should be self

This good son has also shown kindness to give people hats and clothes.

As he spoke, Li Shanzhu took the robe from the old woman's hand.

"We're eating noodles, just one more night, do you want it?"

Li Yunsheng on the side looked at the old woman in the wind and rain outside the house, hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"Wow, I've been asking about the fragrance from afar, it's so fragrant. ”

The old woman squinted and smiled, and her words were full of joy.

"The old man doesn't dislike it, just come in and eat a bowl, the house is warmer, and the rain should stop after eating. ”

Li Shanzhu is not the kind of person who is stingy, so he invited the old man in immediately, and just patted Li Yunsheng's head when he turned his back to the old man - how can there be extra noodles at home? Even the dishes and chopsticks are just two pairs!

As if nothing had happened, Li Yunsheng asked the old man to sit in his original position and pushed the dishes and chopsticks to her.

"Little doll, why don't you eat it?"

The old woman picked up the dishes and chopsticks, looked up at Li Yunsheng strangely, at this time Li Yunsheng had already walked to the stove, took out a book by the light of the fire in the stove and read it.

"I've eaten it. ”

Hearing this, the old woman giggled, and then without asking much, she ate with relish, and after eating the noodles inside, she drank the soup cleanly, and then said with satisfaction:

"I haven't eaten such delicious noodles for many years. ”

Li Shanzhu only regarded her as a compliment, and didn't speak but laughed.

After eating noodles, the rain had not stopped, and the old man had no intention of leaving, so she asked Li Shanzhu curiously:

"Your father and son don't seem to be locals, why did you come to this barren mountain and let your children suffer these sins?"

She glanced at Li Yunsheng who was reading in front of the stove with great pity.

"Alas......"

Li Shanzhu sighed, I don't know if it was because there was an old woman sitting in front of him who was powerless, and he didn't hide it, and told all the past of the Li family, and even the fact that the ancestor was cursed by the evil monk.

"I want my Li family to do good deeds for generations, but I end up here, and even none of the men of my Li family can live past the age of forty! We really have no way out, and now the Li family is left with the two of us, you said that if the Li family is wiped out in my hands, I will be ashamed of my ancestors!"

"It's unheard of in this world. ”

The old woman looked astonished.

"If it hadn't happened to me, I wouldn't have believed it. Li Shanzhu smiled bitterly, "So over the years, whenever we hear a trace of immortals, we will look for it and ask for a chance." ”

"It's harder than looking for a needle in a haystack. The old woman shook her head, "This fairy trail is hard to find, not to mention, even if you really meet it, I won't help you, after all, mortals such as me are just ants in the eyes of the immortals." ”

"Who said it wasn't?" Li Shanzhu's expression was gloomy, "but you can't just accept your fate." ”

When Li Shanzhu said this, Li Yunsheng, who was not far away, pursed his lips again, this scene happened to be seen by the old woman, and the old woman laughed: "Little doll, what are you laughing at?"

Hearing this, Li Shanzhu glanced at Li Yunsheng, and said in his heart, when no one is there, you are not big or small, forget it, there are outsiders who are still not giving you Lao Tzu face like this, and when the people leave, I won't let you eat a good meal of skin and meat.

Li Yunsheng's heart is naturally not frightened by a glance, he put down the book in his hand and sorted out his thoughts in his mind, and then said in a still somewhat immature voice

"I think Daddy, instead of looking for the ethereal fairy trace, it is better for the two of us to live a better life, you know that the immortal is not merciful, but he has been asking for ten years, and he says that he will not accept his fate, but what you do is just some perfunctory methods." ”

Speaking of this, Li Yunsheng paused again, thought about it seriously, and then said with a small face:

"The real refusal to accept fate should not be to beg for mercy from those immortals, but to dare to fight with this fate on this day. ”

The two adults were taken aback by a child's words, and were stunned for a moment, then Li Shanzhu raised his fist and glared at Li Yunsheng again, and said viciously: "The skin is itchy again, isn't it?" But the woman didn't laugh at Li Yunsheng, but thought about it carefully, and then said with a loving smile: "Don't beg for immortals, dare to fight for the sky! It's very good, it's excellent!" It seems that Li Yunsheng's words made her very happy.

"Bang, bang. ”

Just when Li Shanzhu was confused by the old woman's excellent sentence, someone knocked on the door again. Li Shanzhu wanted to open the door, but the old man got up and waved his hand to stop him, she looked at Li Shanzhu with a smile and said:

"It should be the little girl who came to pick me up. ”

As soon as the door opened, sure enough, it was a woman standing outside the door, just looking down on the woman's appearance in the dark.

"I see that the rain can't stop tonight, so I'm here to pick you up. ”

The woman's voice was surprisingly good, as pleasant as the wind chimes outside the window on a summer day, and it made people feel refreshed for a while.

The old woman nodded, she stood at the door and turned her head to look at Zhang Yan on the other side of the stove, raised her hand and beckoned to him: "Little doll, come!"

Seeing the old woman calling herself, Zhang Yan walked over with some doubts.

"At my age, I still eat your little doll's things, which is really a little undeserved. The old woman smiled a little embarrassedly: "I didn't bring anything when I came, I only had this bottle of sugar pills for my little grandson to eat, oh, I've given them all to you!"

She took out a delicate white porcelain vase and handed it to Li Yunsheng.

If it was someone else, he would definitely excuse himself and give in, but Li Yunsheng was not good at being weak and wronged, so he took the bottle casually.

"Ancestor, this is ......" The woman in the dark whispered, although her voice was very low, Li Yunsheng could still hear the eagerness in her voice.

"What's a bottle of sugar pills?"

The old woman waved her hand and motioned to the woman not to say more, Li Yunsheng was a little unhappy with the woman's words in his heart, and said in his heart, is it just a bottle of sugar pills?

"Little doll, it looks like it's going to thunder tonight, it's okay to go to bed early. ”

The old woman looked at the sky, then turned her head and told Li Yunsheng.

Even if the old woman didn't say it, the two of them wouldn't have gone out tonight, but they still nodded.

And the old woman didn't leave after speaking, just the moment she turned her head and walked away, the light in the room just hit the woman's face in the dark night, although it was only a skimming, but Li Yunsheng was also stunned, it was a beautiful suffocating face, Li Yunsheng froze in place, until Li Shanzhu slapped him heavily on the back of the head.
