Chapter 5 Chopping and Chopping Firewood
The pigeon flapped its wings and flew away slowly.
Lou Yun also sat on the bluestone and ate the grilled bacon.
The bacon has a fresh taste, as if it has been marinated with special spices. It's just a slight roast, and the precipitated aroma of the meat is emanated. And there is no need to add any seasoning, it is neither salty nor light, and the taste is just right. Qiu Yuling and Lou Yun ate delicious bacon.
At this moment, Mr. Kiya walked in from the cave in the valley, holding a delicate box in his hand. I don't know what was in the box, the surface of the box was covered with a layer of frost and snow, and the cracks in the box also exuded a cold air.
Lou Yun saw Mr. Guigu coming back, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow down and said, "Mr. Qiu is looking at grandpa's face and treating Yuling." ”
Guiguzi glanced at Lou Yun and put the wooden box in his hand behind him.
Guiguzi replied with a cold face: "Your grandfather's face, I have already helped your Qiu family with a lot of things, casting a peacock feather and saving the life of the autumn girl." Isn't that enough?"
Lou Yun didn't get up and still bowed to the ground, and said pleadingly: "That is, Mr. has already helped my Qiu family a lot, and I beg Mr. to help us again." ”
Guiguzi looked at his firewood and said, "Okay, I can diagnose Qiu Yatou, but I have the conditions." ”
Lou Yun was overjoyed, and hurriedly raised his head and asked, "What conditions?" As long as I can do it, I'll do my best. ”
Guiguzi still said with a cold face: "Go and chop the firewood first, and each firewood must be split to the same size." Then go to the back mountain and chop another thousand catties of firewood. ”
Lou Yun hurriedly thanked: "Okay, I'll do it." As long as my husband can diagnose Yuling, I can do whatever he wants. Then he ran to chop wood. And Guiguzi walked straight into the bamboo house. He took a flower pot from the cupboard and placed it on the small table in the room. Then he opened the wooden box, and the inside of the wooden box was all ice, and inside was a red flower. Mr. Kitani took out the flowers and planted them in a pot, then placed them on the table while he lay down on the recliner and fell asleep.
Lou Yun was very careful in splitting, but the speed was not slow, and the firewood was divided into four, which was very regular. In less than half an hour, Lou Yun was tired and sweated like rain. Qiu Yuling was busy wiping Lou Yun's sweat, and Lou Yun chopped firewood for two days. The arm was so tired that he could barely lift it. Mr. Guiya didn't arrange a place for them to live, and the two of them could only soak in the pool at night when it was cold, as they had when they first arrived. Looking at Lou Yun's hard work, Qiu Yuling was very distressed. Guiguzi also said some cool words from time to time, such as "If you can't stand it, go back to Luoyang to be your eldest young master", "Don't force yourself too much, you can go back at any time if you can't stand it"
Fortunately, after soaking in that waterhole overnight, Lou Yun's fatigue and pain on his body could be alleviated a little. Qiu Yuling is cooking for Lou Yun's laundry. Maybe Lou Yun was very tired in the past two days, and he didn't have so much resistance to Qiu Yuling's appearance in small clothes, and Qiu Yuling beat his back and pinched his shoulders in the waterhole at night. But seeing Lou Yun being so tired every time, Qiu Yuling was very distressed, Qiu Yuling said several times "I won't be cured, let's go back to Luoyang", but Lou Yun rejected her all at once. Although this is the case, they ate quite well, and Guiguzi did not treat them badly. Fruits, rice grains, cured meats are all available. But it's just ingredients, and it's not always done with autumn rain bells. Although Qiu Yuling has never cooked, it is still decent.
The firewood was finally chopped, and Lou Yun's work changed from chopping firewood to chopping wood. Lou Yun had to cut enough 100 catties of firewood every time before coming back, going up the tree to cut firewood, and going down to the tree to collect firewood. If it weren't for Lou Yun's light skills, just climbing around the trees would have exhausted him to death. Qiu Yuling kept asking to go with him, but Lou Yun refused every time. The back mountain of the Ghost Valley is very rugged, and Lou Yun is disgraced every time he comes back, and sometimes he has injuries on his body, but he doesn't dare to let his blood flow out. Every time he accidentally injured himself, he was bandaged immediately, but fortunately, his wound healed quickly every time.
Although Lou Yun has martial arts, after all, he is only a sixteen-year-old child, and on the tenth day, Lou Yun is finally tired.
Lou Yun walked back with difficulty, and put down the firewood with difficulty. Qiu Yuling hurriedly stepped forward, ignoring Lou Yun's gray face and asked, "Brother Yun, are you tired?"
Lou Yun opened his mouth slightly and didn't say anything. Looking at Lou Yun's haggard face, Qiu Yuling cried, and two hot tears fell on Lou Yun's cheeks.
Qiu Yuling cried and hugged Lou Yun and said, "Brother Yun, I'm not cured, my illness is gone." We went back to Luoyang, back to Zhongzhou League, back to Peacock Villa, back to Hexiang Villa. In short, it's good to go anywhere, as long as Brother Yun is by Ling'er's side. Ling'er didn't want to watch Brother Yun work so hard. If something happens to Brother Yun, what should Ling'er do. As she spoke, she hugged him and cried.
Lou Yun patted her on the back and comforted: "It's okay Yuling, Brother Yun has already chopped enough 1,000 catties of firewood, and Mr. Guigu can diagnose you for you." ”
After speaking, Lou Yun used his last strength to shout towards the bamboo house: "Mr. Guigu, I have already cut enough firewood for a thousand catties. You can now diagnose the rain bell. With that, he fainted.
At this time, the closed bamboo door opened suddenly.
On the second day, Lou Yun slowly opened his eyes, Qiu Yuling was guarding his bedside, and Guiguzi was drinking tea alone.
Seeing Lou Yun wake up, Qiu Yuling said happily: "Brother Yun, you have finally woken up." And Guiguzi, who was drinking tea on the side, also came to the bed, and now his attitude is not at all different from the previous days, the previous days he had a straight face all day, and now he is smiling and very kind. Lou Yun was really taken aback by such a big change in him.
Mr. Guiya twisted his beard and said with a smile, "You're just overworked, it's okay." ”
Guiguzi hugged Lou Yun and said, "Good grandson, don't blame grandpa, I just want to test you and see if you are sincere." I can't imagine that you have such perseverance to complete all the things I have explained. ”
Lou Yun was so frightened by this sudden scene that he couldn't speak.
Lou Yun slowly pushed Guiguzi away and said, "Mr. Guigu, Brother Tianyu asked us to come to you." ”
Mr. Guigu said kindly: "Of course I know this, and you can't enter this Guigu without his guidance." The innate Bagua Array outside the valley is endlessly changing, and if it weren't for the location he told you where the array was, you wouldn't have been able to enter it anyway. That rebel will make trouble for me, the master, and he will not come to see me, a poor lonely old man. And he is actually relieved to let you two children go so far alone, what if something happens, he will not come with you. ”
