Since that day the small stone came to the bottom of the mountain, almost every day will run down the mountain, this place is the unknowable place of Qixiufang, but no one is not at ease, this is the confidence of Qixiufang, unless it is the kind of master of the three immortals, otherwise there is really no one who can come here quietly, and then quietly take away the small stone.

This village is called Yellow Lotus Village, legend has it that there is a yellow lotus tree that has become a fine here, so it is named, but no one has ever seen this tree, but there are a lot of ordinary yellow lotus trees, since that day there was a swarthy child in the mountain, this village has been a lot more lively.

The child is a small stone, looks like a tiger, has a lot of strength, and follows the children in the village to run east for a while, and walk west for a while, whoever invites him to be a guest will go, and within a few days, the whole village knows that there is a person called Xiaoshi on the big mountain, which is likely to be related to the Qixiufang in the mountain.

Perhaps most of the people in the area of Slender West Lake in Yangzhou don't know the unknowable place of Qixiufang, but it is impossible for these villages located under the mountain not to know that they have been here for generations, and they are basically part of Qixiufang, and many of the people here are registered disciples of Qixiufang, and even many of them are disciples of Qixiufang who marry here.

Later, when someone made a special trip to Qixiufang and determined the identity of Xiao Shi, it was better to treat Xiao Shi and treat him as a child in his village.

In the early morning, the glow is brilliant, sprinkled like broken gold, bathing in the warmth of people.

A group of children, the younger ones walked hobbly, the older ones were only about ten years old, and the two big yellow dogs were lying on the side of the road, lazily looking at the group of children who seemed to be tired, sneezed, and suddenly raised their heads and looked ahead.

There was an old man in a green shirt who walked slowly over with a wooden stick and stepping on the morning sun, this was a stranger, so the two big yellow dogs at the entrance of the village rushed towards the old man as soon as possible.

The little stone that was pouting his ass and catching insects suddenly raised his head, rubbed his feet, bounced up like a frog, held down a big yellow dog with both hands, and then turned over, hugged the two big yellow dogs, and pouted: "You can't bite, you are disobedient!"

The two big yellow dogs were hugged by the little stone, no matter how much they struggled, to no avail, let out a strange bark, and threw a longing gaze at the little stone, the little stone seemed to understand the eyes of the two big yellow dogs, and actually muttered: "I can let you go, but you can't bite." ”

The two big yellow dogs actually nodded very humanely.

Xiao Shi smiled, let go of his hand, and continued to pout his butt and dig out the worms under the tree, and the two big yellow dogs actually went back and continued to lie down, although their eyes were still on the old man, but they just didn't make a sound.

This scene all fell into the eyes of the old man, and he muttered in some surprise: "Glazed Golden Silk Gu, born with divine power, pure heart, I don't know whose child it is, good talent, good talent!"

The old man was dressed in a green shirt that had been washed and bleached, a wisp of snow-white beard, and a cloth bag on his back.

The old man walked behind the small stone, slowly sat down against the big tree, took out a piece of dry food from the cloth bag, and took a bite gently, but it was a little dry, and it was a little difficult to swallow for a while, he looked at the small stone, and said softly: "Child, can you give grandpa a bowl of water?"

Little Stone twisted his buttocks, turned around, raised his head, showed two rows of white teeth on his black face, smiled, and said, "Grandpa, you wait!"

After that, Xiaoshi stood up and ran to a house not far from him, shouting, "Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu, give me a bowl of water......"

After a while, Xiaoshi came over with water, and saw the old man under the tree waiting for him with a smile from a distance, but he always felt a little strange, walked over slowly, handed the water to the old man, and said, "Old man, what about my friends, and Rhubarb Erhuang, where did they go?"

Walking to the edge of the big tree, Xiaoshi remembered that something was wrong, that there was no one here.

The old man drank the water with a smile, ate the dry food, and said, "They all went to play." ”

"Oh, but they were all there just now?" Xiao Shi nodded, a little puzzled, but he didn't like to think about it, and said, "Grandpa, do you still want to drink water?"

"Don't drink it, one bowl is enough!" said the old man.

Xiaoshi picked up the bowl and said, "Then I'll go, I'm going to play." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry," said the old man, who picked up the cloth bag, took out a book from it, and said, "How about you give me a bowl of water, and I'll give you a book." ”

"Don't," said Little Stone.

"Why not?" asked the old man.

Xiao Shi touched his head and said: "When I was at home before, the aunts in the village often gave me delicious food, but I never gave them books.

The old man looked at the little stone, suddenly laughed, touched the little stone's head, didn't speak, just laughed, and then the book in his hand turned into a white light, which was slowly injected into the little stone's mind, but the little stone didn't realize it.

Little Stone only felt a trance for a while, and then he didn't know anything.

"Little stone, little stone!"

A shout woke up the little stone, and he looked around suspiciously, the children were still here, and the two big yellow dogs were still lying on the ground lazily asleep, and he still had a bowl in his hand, which was empty.

Xiaoshi grabbed the little girl in front of him and asked, "Xiaozhu, where was this old man just now?"

Xiaozhu is a little girl in the village, and she is also the child who likes to take Xiaoshi to her house for dinner, and Xiaoshi has the closest relationship, she pouted and said: "What kind of old man, Xiaoshi, just now I told you to ignore me for a long time." ”

Xiao Shi touched his head and said suspiciously: "There is obviously an old grandfather here, and I also brought him a bowl of water to Aunt Liu'er's house?"

Xiaozhu stretched out her hand and touched Xiaoshi's forehead, wondering: "I don't have a fever, how can I talk nonsense? Just now, it was obviously the water you drank yourself, and you ran over like a gust of wind, and then ran over again, and just kept looking at the big tree, ignoring us......"

At this moment, two more people came from outside the village, one was an old man in a green shirt, and the other was a woman in a long skirt, holding a long piano and walking over slowly.
