Chapter 382: A Friend Comes from Far Away

"Hmph, who is rare you like. ”

Xiao Che snorted coldly, snatched a piece of rabbit meat from the old man's hand, took a bite in his mouth, and looked at the old man coldly while chewing the rabbit meat in his mouth:

"I've never seen a medicine farmer with shoes as clean as you. ”

With one word, he exposed the lie of the old man's identity as a medicine farmer.

"Hehe......"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and the surprise in his eyes flashed away.

He immediately diverted the topic very naturally, looked at Mrs. Chen with a smile and said:

"Little brother, it's a pity that you have no meat and wine here, but fortunately, the old man brought a pot with him, would you like to drink with me?"

"Got a drink?!"

Mrs. Chen is not very old, but since he was a child, his grandfather fed him with good wine, and he was immediately overjoyed when he heard that there was wine.

"Of course I do!"

He immediately approached the old man, looking like a child knocking on a bowl and waiting for his mother to serve the food.

When the old man took out a wine bag from the back basket behind him, Mrs. Chen clapped her hands with excitement.

Although Xiao Che of the gang was speechless, he didn't say anything to stop him.

Although he saw that this old man was not a medicine farmer, he also felt that there was no malice in the other party, and at this time, it was better to wait and see the changes than to turn his face with the other party in a daze.

As for whether the old man can threaten him and Mrs. Chen, Xiao Che is very relieved, at least in this Dragon King Temple, he is confident that he has full means of saving his life, because as early as the beginning of repairing this broken temple, he had considered being surrounded in the temple, so this broken temple seems simple, but in fact, he has already set up many traps and traps.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

Just when Mrs. Chen and the old man drank a cup of wine and my face turned red, the temple door that had been bolted suddenly was knocked.

This sudden knock on the door suddenly made Xiao Che and the old man look alert, but Mrs. Chen sat cross-legged in place with a sip of wine and a retrospective face.

"Bang, bang, bang"

Just as Xiao Che hesitated, the knock sounded again.

Xiao Che still didn't get up, but turned his gaze to the old man, as if asking him if the people outside the door were his group.

When the old man saw Xiao Che's gaze, he seemed to see what Xiao Che wanted to ask, and he didn't speak, but just shook his head at Xiao Che with a wry smile.

Both of them knew very well that it would not be ordinary villagers who came up the mountain at this time, so they were very wary of anyone knocking on the door outside the house.

"Squeak......

What neither of them expected was that Mrs. Chen, who had slowed down after a sip of wine, stood up in a daze and opened the door after hearing the knock on the door.

"Who?"

In the stunned gazes of Xiao Che and the old man, Mrs. Chen rubbed her eyes and looked out the door.

"This little brother, the little girl is visiting her husband and passing through here, and the mountain road is difficult to walk at night, I wonder if you can let me enter the temple to avoid the wind and cold?"

A woman with an ethereal voice stood outside the door and asked sincerely.

At this time, the sky outside the temple was completely dark, and by the light of the fire in the temple, it could be roughly seen that there was indeed a graceful woman standing outside the house.

However, even if he confirmed that the other party was a woman, Xiao Che's vigilance in his heart still did not relax, he thought about getting up and rejecting the other party, after all, there was already an unidentified old man in the temple, and another woman who came out of nowhere, who knows what would happen later.

"What did my sister say? My grandfather taught me since I was a child, and it is very happy to have friends from afar, come in, come in!"

But before Xiao Che could stand up, he only heard that Mrs. Chen, who was drunk, agreed to the other party without the slightest hesitation, and then let the woman in directly.

Seeing this, Xiao Che's face turned pale, and he didn't know what to say.

"Hahaha......"

The old man on the side laughed out loud in surprise.

"Are the old-timers laughing at the little woman's embarrassed appearance?"

The woman who walked into the temple looked at the old man without recognition and asked with a smile.

It was only at this time that several people saw the woman's appearance clearly.

The woman was extremely tall, a head taller than the old man, she was wearing a green Luo skirt that was very inappropriate for this season, her face was covered with a layer of blue color, revealing a pair of delicate eyes, and a green silk hair hung down to her waist. There is an indescribable sense of mystery in the temperament of the whole person.

"The girl misunderstood, I wasn't laughing at you, and I didn't laugh at you in any contempt. ”

The old man waved his hand.

"Oh?"

The corners of the woman's mouth under the veil curled up with a puzzled expression:

"I don't know why the old man is laughing?"

"My old man has lived a handful of years, and he has seen too many villains who are intriguing and deceitful, and today I have seen a true gentleman, and my heart is very happy, so I can't help but laugh. ”

The old man looked at Mrs. Chen as he spoke.

When the woman heard this, she suddenly clapped her hands and looked at Mrs. Chen, and said with a smile:

"The old gentleman is right, the little brother has a pure heart and is rare in the world, which really makes my generation extremely embarrassed. ”

"What are you talking about?"

Mrs. Chen, who had not completely lost his wine, didn't understand what the two were talking about.

"Sister, sit on my stool. ”

He gave up his little stool to the woman, and sat down on the floor.

"I don't know what the girl is doing in this barren mountain so late?"

The old man asked the woman as if he were a master.

"Tsk...... The thief has judged the thief. ”

Xiao Che sneered in his heart when he saw this, but he didn't poke at the old man and asked:

"Yes, it's not easy for you to dress like this on a big night. ”

Hearing the question between the old man and Xiao Che, the woman giggled and said:

"This kid, it's not polite to ask the elders in this tone. ”

As she spoke, she gently put her slender arm on Mrs. Chen's shoulder, and said in an extremely gentle tone:

"You're really going to have to learn from your little brother. ”

"Sister, you smell so good. ”

Mrs. Chen, who was completely out of the situation, sniffed, and then looked at the woman with a drunken smile.

The woman seemed to be very useful to Mrs. Chen's words, and touched Mrs. Chen's head with a doting smile, then turned her head to look at the old man and said:

"You and I are both passers-by here, but it just so happened that we met here tonight, you asked the two little brothers for a bowl of hot soup, and I borrowed a corner to avoid the cold, and that's it. ”

"That's it?"

The old man looked at the woman suspiciously.

"Of course. ”

The woman tilted her head slightly, and said with a bit of arrogance in her tone.

"And what about after tonight?"

The old man asked with a smile.

"Who knows?"

The woman smiled.

"Not bad, not bad!!"

Hearing this, the old man laughed again, and then asked in a hearty voice:

"Can this girl drink?"

"I'm afraid you don't have enough wine. ”

The woman said lightly.

"Drink? I want to drink!"

Hearing the word wine, Mrs. Chen, who was originally dizzy, instantly became energetic.

"Haha, drink, I want as much wine as I want. ”

The old man's hearty laughter echoed in the temple.

So Xiao Che, who didn't drink anything, sat by the temple gate, quietly watching the three of them push the cup and change the lamp, not only Mrs. Chen and the old man, but even the seemingly cold woman drank the big bowl without any scruples, and they even chatted while drinking, the woman confided about the trivial matters at home, and the old man scolded the unscrupulous medicine dealer, as if the two were really a medicine farmer and a little daughter-in-law who visited her husband.

Xiao Che was really fascinated by this scene, whether it was the old man or the woman in front of him, he was very sure that he was not an ordinary person.

But at this moment, Xiao Che couldn't feel even a trace of malice from them, as if they were really just passing by, really just asking for a bowl of hot soup to avoid the cold.

After drinking in the middle of the night, the three of them had no intention of giving up, even Chen Tai'a was not drunk, and the old man's wine bag was like a bottomless pit, with a steady stream of fine wine pouring out of it, and Xiao Che, who didn't drink, completely became a guy who was in charge of barbecue next to him.

"Tonight is so happy, and we have such a good conversation, how about I sing a paragraph to everyone, old man?"

The old man, who claimed to be a medicine farmer, swayed and took out a liuqin from the basket behind him.

"Yes, I want to listen, I want to listen!"

Mrs. Chen clapped her hands very much.

"If you sing badly, I'm going to smash your piano. ”

The woman held her cheeks and looked at the old man drunk.

"Smash, don't sing well, you smash!"

The old man said with a knotted tongue.

With that, he plucked his fingers on the strings, and a pleasant crisp sound sounded like a silver bottle bursting.

"Don't come to the spring half, it's shocking and soft. ”

"The brick falls like snow, and the body is still full. ”

"There is no evidence for the news of the wild goose, and it is difficult to return to the dream. ”

"Away from hatred is just like spring grass, go farther and live. ”

……

The old man's voice was sonorous and powerful, although slightly hoarse, but he sang this song even more desolately.

After singing a song, there was silence in the temple.

"It's good, the old man sings so well. ”

After a while, I only heard Mrs. Chen applaud loudly, but after saying this, he laughed and said with tears:

"But I don't know why, it makes people feel uncomfortable listening to it, is this song written by the old grandfather? Could it be that the old man also has a home and is difficult to return?"

The old man didn't expect that although Mrs. Chen was very delicate, although she was very delicate, she actually heard the parting meaning in the lyrics, and she had a great feeling of finding a soulmate, so she said happily:

"This is the work of a dear friend of mine, and he would be very happy if he saw his little brother understand it. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Chen burst into tears and laughed.

The woman on the plate wiped the tears on Mrs. Chen's face with a handkerchief very pityingly, and then looked at the old man with some dissatisfaction and said:

"What are you doing singing these cold songs on this cold day?"

The old man also blamed himself:

"What the girl said is that we have to be happy tonight, so I'll change the song!"

"Then I'll give the old man a beat!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen volunteered to pick up two wooden sticks and stand next to the old man.

"Very good, very good. ”

The old man looked very happy, and then the strings were plucked again, and this time there was no trace of coldness in the tune, but it was full of joy.

So I saw that in the midst of the old man's cheerful and playful tune, Mrs. Chen pulled up the woman with two wooden sticks and beat happily around the fire.

Although Xiao Che has been on guard from the sidelines, he doesn't know why when he sees the long-lost smile on Mrs. Chen's face at this moment, the tense heartstrings are much relaxed.

Unconsciously, Xiao Che's eyelids began to become heavier and heavier, and finally couldn't help but slowly close.

……

By the time he woke up, it was already early the next morning.

"How did I fall asleep?!"

He almost jumped up from the ground.

"What about people?"

Glancing at the situation in the temple, there was no one else except Chen Tai'a, who was still sleeping on the ground.

"Gone?"

He looked in the temple with some doubts, then pushed open the temple door and looked around, and found that the woman and the old man had indeed left.

As he spoke, he checked it carefully again, and found that there was nothing missing in the temple, and he and Mrs. Chen were also safe and sound, and even the ashes of the bonfire last night were cleaned up.

"Am I mistaken? Are these two really just passing travelers?"

He muttered to himself with some suspicion.

"Forget it, there are all kinds of wonders in these ten states, it's useless to think about it, it's not long before the day of the North Sea ice, you have to prepare well. ”

Shaking his head, Xiao Che patted his cheek to sober himself up, then stood up and kicked Mrs. Chen, who was lying on the ground and was asleep:

"Get up and get to work!"
