The wooden house in front of the head did not look very large, but it was made entirely of wood, interspersed with bamboo, and at a glance it was clearly a shoddy building, not the work of some great craftsman.

The moment they saw the wooden house, they already knew something in their hearts, and after glancing at each other, they walked quickly in that direction at the same time.

There were no traces of the activities of the strange beasts around, which made them even more reassured, and their steps were a little faster at the moment.

It was not far away, that is, after three or two steps, the two of them were already standing in front of the wooden house in a nervous mood, taking a deep breath and then spitting out a long time.

After three back and forth, Liu Yuan took half a step forward, stretched out two fingers and knocked on the door, and the sound of hitting the wood spread in the mountains and forests.

The empty mountain was silent, and the two of them were engrossed, only the sound of insects chirping and cicada wings could be heard, and there was no other sound, as if they were not giving up, Liu Yuan knocked on the door again, and this time increased his strength.

It's a pity that there is still no reaction in the room, it is empty, and at this moment, even the heart seems to be empty.

In fact, when the two of them stepped into this area, they faintly had a certain feeling in their hearts, the two of them made such a big move, if Liu Guanzhang was really still here, he should have reacted.

But now there is no movement, the silence is uncomfortable, it makes people feel uncomfortable, Liu Yuan bit his lip, glanced at Uncle Cao, and after the other party bowed slightly, he pushed the door open with a strong palm.

The door is not locked, and it is not as difficult to open as expected, as if it is gently closed.

It's just that the moment he opened the door, a puff of dust was raised, which at least meant that there was no one in this house for a few days.

The two entered the door one after another, and Liu Yuan coughed lightly twice and shouted, "Is there anyone......"

The voice was very low, as if he was afraid of disturbing something, and he was afraid that the moment he came in, he would see something unacceptable.

The furnishings in the whole room are very simple, even simple, but in this area of the door, I swept my eyes and saw a lot of seven, seven, eight or eight.

There was nothing but a few tables, chairs, and cabinets, and in the middle of the left-hand side, a wooden partition was pulled up, which divided the room into two parts.

Leaving Uncle Cao fumbling in front of the door, Liu Yuan walked to the baffle and pushed it away to the right, and there was a wooden bed with several cabinets next to the bed.

It's just that the space behind the baffle is a little more messy, and the bed cabinets are all out of their original positions, because of the messy dust, the few areas that have been moved are obviously different from other places.

In addition to the other two, there was also a third party here besides the owner of the house? Who is it? Liu Yuan had this thought in his mind.

No, judging from the feeling of opening the door before, it doesn't look like a trace of someone coming, and it shouldn't be, maybe it's been a long time since that person came and left?

Thinking about it, Liu Yuan's eyebrows furrowed even deeper.

That's it, it's useless to think more, so he simply shook his head, Liu Yuan emptied his heavy brain, took a few steps forward, and began to rummage through the cabinet to see if he could find something useful.

After a while, Uncle Cao's footsteps sounded behind him, and Liu Yuan asked softly without looking back, "Uncle Cao, have you gained anything?"

"No, there are only some daily miscellaneous items in the cabinet outside, so I put them all on the square table outside and pile them together. Uncle Cao shook his head and said softly.

Based on the sundries found, it is not possible to determine the identity of the owner of this place.

"Yes. Liu Yuan replied lightly and pulled the cabinets open one by one.

As the cabinets were all opened, his mood became more and more depressed, and he was disappointed to find that there were still some useless sundries, as well as some clothes.

The only thing that can be called useful information is that the owner of the house can be identified as a man from these things, but it is difficult to tell the age.

"That's going to be tough. Uncle Cao lowered his voice and muttered to himself, as soon as he found hope, he turned into disappointment again.

And what's even more uncomfortable is that if this wooden house can't find any useful information, then it really cuts off all clues.

Obviously, Liu Yuan didn't give up so easily, and moved everything out of several cabinets and put it on the floor in the middle.

When I moved it out, I found that there were really a lot of things, and several of the withered herbs made Liu Yuan and Cao Yangcheng's eyes light up at the same time.

The two of them squatted down at the same time, reached out and carefully pinched the herbs in their hands, looked at them carefully, and sniffed them.

Cao Shufang said with surprise in his tone: "It is those slightly rare medicinal materials in the northwest mountains. "It's indeed a little rare, not even those thousand-year-old spirit plants that are guarded by alien beasts.

"In this way, it is very likely that it is his father. Liu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said with some excitement.

After packing up all these things, I found the medicine jar and other things in the corner next to the bed, and everything related to medicine refining was readily available.

Looking closely, there was still some black stuff left at the bottom of the medicine jar, and the two of them reached out and wiped it a little, but they didn't dare to try it easily, who knows what kind of poison dregs.

As more and more things were discovered, Liu Yuan's mood rose a little, and as far as what he found in front of him was concerned, they all pointed to Liu Yuan's father.

followed Cao Yangcheng to sort out the things that were cleaned up, and Liu Yuan tossed directly on the bed, but unfortunately he didn't find anything anymore, even though Liu Yuan had turned the bed upside down.

The unwilling Liu Yuan directly dismantled the bed, and still couldn't get more, the whole bed was so clean, the clean Liu Yuan sat on the edge of the bed, and a pair of cows stared at him like a cow.

turned to pick up his strength, and watched Uncle Cao sort things out there, and hurriedly stepped forward to clean up.

Less than half an hour had passed, and after everything had been sorted out, the two of them were completely depressed, and there was no additional harvest except for finding some more herbs.

"This place is probably where adults once stayed. Cao Yangcheng said in a low voice and said: "But I don't know where I have gone now, I will go to the mountains to search for a few days, and you will stay in this house first, in case someone comes back." ”

Saying that, Cao Yangcheng had already gotten up and walked outside, and Liu Yuan was not allowed to think about it at all, and the person had already walked to the door.

Sending Uncle Cao out of the house, Liu Yuan thought about it for a while, and found that this was indeed the best way.

Because Uncle Cao has been in this mountain for a longer time, he knows more about it than him, and the room that he finally found can't be separated from.

Reflexively returned to the house, closed the wooden door completely, and Liu Yuan sat cross-legged next to a pile of things, looking ahead in a daze.

Looking at it, his eyes turned red, Liu Yuan's vision began to blur, as if covered with a layer of mist, and Liu Guanzhang's figure appeared in front of his eyes.

It was a middle-aged man with a very serious face, his black hair was meticulously combed, he was wearing a black robe, and he was staring at the medicine jar on the ground with serious eyes.

With his hands behind his back, he walked back and forth around the medicine jar a few times, and after a while, a few white smoke rose from the medicine jar.

And the things boiled in the medicine jar were not real, and as the bubbles inside were churning, Liu Guanzhang paused, and his eyes gradually lit up.

It was about the same, the middle-aged man in Liu Yuan's eyes squatted down and grabbed the handle of the medicine jar, moved it aside, and there was an extra mud bowl on the side, which was exactly the same as the bowl in front of Liu Yuan.

Slowly poured the decoction in the medicine jar into the yellow clay bowl, and after this action was done, the picture became blurry again, and the figure of the father faded until it disappeared completely.

Followed by Liu Guanzhang's figure appeared next to the bed again, with a face full of sadness and frowning, which made the crow's feet and nasolabial folds at the corners of his eyes deeper.

Holding something like an ancient book in his hand, the book looked like it had been turned hundreds of times, but he couldn't see the cover clearly.

Every time Liu Guanzhang looked at a page, he sighed and sighed, and finally his figure became blurred again.

The sight gradually recovered, the house was still the same room, and the whole room was quiet and a little weird, suddenly, Liu Yuan rubbed his eyes with both hands, and suddenly stood up from the ground with gritted teeth.

Unwilling, he was still unwilling, Liu Yuan didn't believe that he really couldn't find anything in this room, so he walked through the baffle and came to the outside room.

Regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, he directly started to dismantle the table first, and dismantled it into pieces, he wanted to see if there was anything hidden in the wooden block.

However, even if it was dismantled into such a fragmentary appearance, nothing was found, but Liu Yuan was not discouraged, and continued to move his hands and dismantle all the chairs and cabinets.

After a long time of working on a stick of incense, Liu Yuan looked at the broken wood all over the ground, slowly closed his eyes, pinched his eyebrows, and said to himself in his heart, can't be in a hurry, can't be in a hurry.

It stands to reason that my father, who lives alone in a house in the northwest mountains, does not consciously leave anything useful or informative.

He wouldn't have expected that someone would come looking for him later.

But my father didn't know much about medicine, so he had to read some ancient books, but he couldn't read a single one here.

People who are born with a dead pulse have existed since ancient times, but there are very few examples, and there is not a single case of successful cure.

Therefore, if Liu Guanzhang wants to cure Liu Yuan's congenital disease, he can only rely on himself, and he can find a way to succeed from reading many ancient books.

Since there will be nothing left, where will his father go after trying in the northwest mountains without success? Liu Yuan, who calmed down, had this question in his heart.

These four words suddenly popped up in Liu Yuan's mind, just because of what the barbarian lord had said to him before.

Legend has it that there was once a heart method against the heavens in Buddhism, which had the energy effect of reshaping the meridians.

If the countless elixirs in the mountains in the northwest have been tried to no avail, my father is very likely to go to the Buddhist ruins to search for them!

Or, the identity of his father's prefecture-level envoy in the Yuan Imperial Pavilion, he should be able to find a lot of secret information in the cabinet, so as to find out where the secret book of Buddhism is, whether it was lost or in the palace.

The general cheats were burned in the catastrophe of that year, and only some top-notch and unique cheats had transcriptions.

If the legend is true, a mental method like this that can reshape the meridians must be among them.

There is one last possibility, that is, my father has gained something in the mountains, at least enough to try, so my father is already on his way back to Qingchuan County.

Slowly opening his eyes, Liu Yuan's eyes rejuvenated, the most feared is to lose the goal, now that he has made a new discovery, he naturally has a fighting spirit again.

After thinking about these things clearly, Liu Yuan looked at the broken wood in front of him again, and felt a little more distressed, bent down and cleaned up all the broken wood, and stacked them neatly.

In the next few days, in addition to eating and sleeping, Liu Yuan would look at the pile of things in the back room in a daze, pick up this for a while, and look at that for a while.

With his hands on the wooden pots and sticks, he went out to dig up some wild vegetables and eat them, and he had looked at every miscellaneous item many times by now.

Another three days passed, and during these times, Liu Yuan didn't dare to leave the wooden house too far, and he still hoped in his heart that his father would come back.

Perhaps, my father is still in this vast mountain, but he has gone farther?

At this moment, Liu Yuan's ears moved, and he heard footsteps, and outsiders came near the house that had not moved for a long time.

With a glimmer of hope, Liu Yuan quickly ran to the door, slowly opened the door, his eyes darkened, and shouted: "Uncle Cao, how is it?

Hearing this, Uncle Cao sighed, shook his head and said, "No, there is no trace of any place, and the owner of the house may have been gone for a long time." ”

Although he had already expected it in his heart, when he really learned the news, Liu Yuan was still a little disappointed in his heart.

didn't say anything at the moment, nodded, and entered the house again with Uncle Cao, Liu Yuan said his previous thoughts.

"Very good, let's go to the Buddhist ruins. Cao Yangcheng very much agrees with this decision.

After speaking, the two began to pack up the things on the ground, and there were some things that Liu Yuan still wanted to carry.

was cleaning up, but when he heard a click, he didn't know if it was very inferior, Liu Yuan broke the wooden board of a drawer in his hand.

A stack of white letterheads fluttered down one after another, until they were all over the ground, and the two of them recovered from their shock.

"There really is...... My lord, he really left something behind. Cao Yangcheng's voice trembled, grabbed a page on the ground casually, and said excitedly: "It's an adult's handwriting, this is an adult's handwriting." ”

He was sure he wouldn't admit it.

"I'm so stupid, the whole house is about to be demolished, why didn't I tear it down more completely. Liu Yuan looked at the paper all over the ground and muttered excitedly.

A cursory glance at the piece of paper in his hand showed that it was some essays written by his father.

The two of them collected all the papers on the ground, and arranged them in order, one by one, and it took a while to put them together, because the papers were not numbered.

But the two of them began to sort in terms of handwriting, probably as time went on, the more they wrote later, the more sloppy and even messy the handwriting became.

Both of them looked at the first page in their hands at the same time:

"A month ago, from the barbarian ......"8)
