Chapter 11 Back Mountain

Lu Yu walked out of the main hall, gasped deeply, and stood in place and thought about it for a while, but in the end he muttered: "Alas, why do you think so much, it's better to go back and study the medical book that my uncle gave me!"

I just wanted to go back to my residence, but I suddenly touched the two cans of wine in my clothes and remembered what Chef Li had told me before. When I looked at the sun in the sky, it was noon, the sun was very hot, and the temperature was very hot. After thinking about it carefully, let's go and meet my uncle; besides, I have promised to help Chef Li deliver wine every day in the future, how can I regret it? My mother also said that since it was a promise, even if it was difficult, I would have to complete it. wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and walked towards the back mountain without complaining.

The back mountain is like a big forest, with intricate trees, overgrown vegetation, and a lot of animals in the forest. The trees stretched out their thick branches, trying to keep out the dazzling sun. Lu Yu didn't know how to spell, let alone fly with a sword, so he had to walk in the woods, and when he was tired, he rested under the tree for a while. However, the area behind the mountain is large and the trees are lush, so the air is much cooler. Because of the weather, Lu Yu's mouth was dry at this time, and he only heard the birds on the tree chirping non-stop when he lay under the tree, and it was estimated that these birds were also extremely hot.

I was really thirsty, so I carefully took out a can of wine from my arms, thinking that it should not be a big problem to quench my thirst with just a small sip. I opened a can, and as soon as the lid opened, I was greeted by the smell of wine. Lu Yu just took a small sip, and hurriedly spit out the wine before it could enter his mouth. Who knew that this wine was so spicy, I was already thirsty, and this time I was even more thirsty when it was spicy.

Helpless, lying under the tree with all his strength, he howled at the bird in the tree and shouted: "Ah, it's annoying, can you stop calling, aren't you thirsty when you call like this?" The bird in the tree seemed to be able to understand what Lu Yu said and stopped chirping. Seeing this, Lu Yu secretly wondered if the birds on the mountain could still understand human speech this day? I saw the birds on the trees spread their wings and flew towards the depths of the woods, and Lu Yu hurriedly got up when he saw this, and followed the birds to the depths of the forest.

I don't know why, the air around me is getting cooler and cooler, and gradually I can hear some "swish~" sounds, and a white light comes from the end not far away. Lu Yu hurriedly ran over, and looked at what a wonderful landscape painting was in front of him. Between the two tall mountain peaks, there is a natural stone dam towering, and there is a waterfall more than one zhang wide hanging on the surface of the knife-like dam, which is pouring down vigorously, such as fog and smoke, although there is no majestic momentum of "flying down 3,000 feet", but it gives people a soft and elegant wonderful feeling. The water flowed down from the heights, splashing pearls and splashing jade on the strangely shaped stones, exploding silver and white splashes. The crystal water droplets fell on Lu Yu's body and face, which was really a treat. Looking down, the stream was so clear that even the underwater stones were clearly visible, and the surface of the water shone in the scorching sun. Lu Yu called out to the flock of birds in mid-air, "Haha, thank you." After saying that, he jumped into the water, because he had walked for a long time, and the weather was hot, and he was inevitably a little excited to see such a small waterfall at once.

I don't know how long it took, lying on the grass by the waterfall, listening to the sound of the stream flowing slowly, and the slight breeze blowing on my body, comfortable and cool. After lying down for a long time, a sudden chirp woke up Lu Yu who was asleep. Rubbing his eyes, he looked around with wide eyes, only to realize that he seemed to have lost his way to the hut. Standing still and spinning around, I don't know what to do. Suddenly, a small bird flew onto Lu Yu's shoulder, Lu Yu stroked the bird and asked, "Bird, do you know the way to the grass hut?"

Lu Yu secretly thought: The Tianshan Sect is really powerful, not only are the people on the mountain highly skilled, but even this little bird can understand people's words. After walking for about half a stick of incense, I heard a flute in the distance, and the birds seemed to fly along the direction of the flute. Gradually, a thatched hut slowly came into view. At this time, outside the grass house, Baicaosheng was already waiting there, holding a delicate bamboo flute in his hand. The birds listened to the sound of the flute and landed beside the hut, and Baicaosheng took some food from his bosom and fed it to them. Baicaosheng Yuguang saw Lu Yu coming from a distance and asked, "Boy, why are you here?"

Lu Yu stepped forward and saluted Uncle Shi and explained, "Uncle Shi, Chef Li has ordered his disciples to bring you wine in the future. ”

Before he finished speaking, Bai Caosheng stepped forward and took the two cans of wine in Lu Yu's hand. Hurriedly opened a can and drank it all, smashed his mouth and asked, "That's fine, but why did you deliver it so late today?"

"The disciple hasn't been to the back mountain a few times, so he just got lost in the forest, so he was delayed for so long, but thanks to these little birds raised by you, uncle. ”

"You still understand the books you were given?"

Lu Yu was in a dilemma, he didn't know whether to confess or not, he didn't understand it at all, but he was afraid that his master would punish him. Bai Caosheng, who was beside him, looked at Lu Yu, who was scratching his ears and cheeks, and seemed to understand what to comfort in his heart: "Haha, it's actually nothing, it's normal to not understand! Medical skills are wonderful, even after studying all my life, there are still many things I don't understand, let alone you." In fact, the first step in learning medicine is to be able to identify medicinal herbs, and only when you are familiar with the medicinal properties of each herb and its growth habits can you use them to refine them into pills. I think so, from now on you will come to the grass hut after noon every day. There are a lot of herbs in the whole Houshan, and if you take ten years to memorize all the herbs in the entire Houshan, your medical skills will be regarded as a small achievement. If there is a variety that is not recorded in the book, you can pick it in the grass hut and ask me, and I will teach you. However, let me warn you in advance, this path is very hard, and it is not as easy as their cultivation, so you can decide for yourself!"

When Lu Yu heard Baicaosheng say this, his heart was a little turbulent. Secretly thought: The whole back mountain is so big, and there are at least tens of thousands of medicinal herbs in it, and it takes ten years to be familiar with all of them, and it seems that the next ten years will be spent in the woods of this back mountain. I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, but when I thought of those fellow disciples on Qixia Peak who practiced day and night, as well as Senior Sister Yun Yao who practiced with the master every day, they were all diligent and diligent, since they had entered the Tianshan Sect and were also the disciples of the real people, they couldn't relax, although they couldn't learn spells, they must have something to achieve in medical skills. His heart swelled, and he nodded to Uncle Shi very firmly.

Bai Caosheng looked at Lu Yu's firm eyes, his heart trembled, and he muttered to himself: "This kid is really like you!"

"Senior Brother Lu!" There was a bell sound in the distance, and a crisp sound echoed in the forest, thinking that it must be the senior sister, but at this time she seemed to be lost in the forest.

After hearing this, Lu Yu shouted, "Senior sister, I'm here." As he spoke, he beckoned to the location where the voice had come from.

After a while, I saw that my sister was already sweating profusely and ran over panting. wailed: "Huhu~ What kind of broken grass hut is this, it is so remote, I almost got lost." ”

Bai Caosheng was a little displeased when he heard this, and said angrily: "Ah, the little doll is rare today, I know to come and see the old man!"

Yun Yao wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, took a few breaths, rolled her eyes at Bai Caosheng and said, "Hmph." You came to see you. What do you have to look at, a bad old man. ”

Baicao's angry beard trembled. Lu Yu, who was beside him, hurriedly said: "Don't say that, Uncle Shi has decided to teach me medical skills, and in the future, I will follow Uncle Shi in the back mountain to learn about medicinal herbs." ”

Yun Yao looked at the smirkling Lu Yu and scolded, "Do you know how many herbs there are in the back mountain?

Bai Caosheng looked at his little apprentice being ridiculed, and said a little angrily: "What's the matter, look down on my Baicaosheng apprentice, don't forget that your little life was saved by me before." ”

Lu Yu also hurriedly said: "You are working hard every day to cultivate, don't you also want to have a skill." Although the master refused to pass on my martial arts. Then I should follow the master's instructions and learn medical skills from my master. In the future, if you are injured while cultivating, I can also do a little bit to help you heal. ”

Yun Yao pointed at Lu Yu and said, "Ha, this is what you said, I wrote it down!" Bai Caosheng on the side saw this scene and laughed.

In the past, no one cared about the thatched hut, but who knew that under the misfortune, this hut that had been silent for decades would have to be tossed in the future. The gray-haired old man also showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time. The old man looked at the mountains in the distance and sighed softly, not knowing what he was thinking......
