Chapter 19 (Grandpa Fairy)
Zhang Yu was immersed in the beautiful scenery and was really shocked by this sudden sound.
He turned around and saw a thin old man dressed in green clothes and full of silver hair, his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his eyes were slightly dim but deep and abnormal, as if he could penetrate all things in the world, his face was as clear as a carving, and his two horizontal eyebrows and the beard hanging down his chest were both snow-white, and his appearance was strange, although he was slightly sad, he did not hide his otherworldly temperament, which made people dare not underestimate him.
The old man was holding a snow-white rabbit in his arms, lowering his head and stroking the rabbit's white hair, his movements were very light for fear of hurting the rabbit, and it was difficult to guess his thoughts.
Zhang Yu was stunned, then came back to his senses, and knelt on the ground with a "poof" and kowtowed and said: "Grandpa Immortal is above, ignorant mortals have no intention of stepping into Grandpa Fairy's residence, please spare your life"
The old man didn't look at Zhang Yu, and said lightly: "If only there were gods in this world, child, get up quickly" He said this sentence as if he was saying something to Zhang Yu, and he seemed to be sighing something.
The voice was obviously very indifferent, but it was very kind in Zhang Yu's ears, and he continued: "It was the water that you floated here from nowhere, and I picked you up when I saw that you still had some breath" Zhang Yu then understood, "It turned out that the old man picked me up."
"If he wasn't a god, how could he live in such a place", and then he came back to his senses, and was very grateful in his heart, and quickly kowtowed: "Thank you, grandpa, thank you, grandpa"
The old man said: "Get up" looked at the sky and said: "Presumably you are also hungry" Zhang Yu was stunned and touched his stomach It was indeed hungry, but how to speak, the old man said: "Follow me"
Zhang Yu got up and followed him through a forest, only to see that the forest was full of all kinds of fruits, and there were many little monkeys jumping up and down on the trees to pick the fruits, and the old man picked a few big ones and said to Zhang Yu: "Eat it" Zhang Yu thought: "Is it possible to eat this wild fruit as a meal" The old man seemed to understand his thoughts and said lightly: "The old man has been eating this since he came here"
Zhang Yu secretly thought: "It's the strange old fairy" is not good to say, take it in his hand and gnaw it, the old man searched for a while, picked a few grasses, and then went to the stream not far away to wash the grass, handed it to Zhang Yu and said: "Eat this, it's good for your injury"
Zhang Yu was a little surprised, but felt that what the old man said was irrefutable, so he had to take it in his hand, take the leaf-shaped grass and look at it, and then eat it, just took a bite and spit it out, and shouted with his mouth open: "It's too bitter, it's too bitter..."
The old man came to Zhang Yu's side, took the grass in Zhang Yu's hand and chewed it, it looked like Zhang Yu was eating vegetables on weekdays, and he was dumbfounded.
The old man picked a few more plants, washed them, and handed them to Zhang Yu and said, "This kind of medicine is hard to find in the world, you eat it, the injury will be better faster" Zhang Yu couldn't help but close his eyes and eat it, almost nausea, so it was easy to eat it, and drank a few sips of water to alleviate it.
Seeing this, the old man nodded, then turned around and walked to the grass hut, he followed the old man into the house, the old man sat down and poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and asked, "I see that you have many wounds on your body, which seem to be caused by a fight."
Zhang Yu heard the old man mention that he suddenly remembered Zhang Qing'er, and thought: "I ran away with my sister, I don't know if she escaped the clutches" couldn't help but tell what happened to him in Chengjiazhuang.
After listening to this, the old man said: "Oh, I see" and then asked: "You are a person from the Heavenly Shadow Gate" Zhang Yu was stunned and said: "I don't know what the Heavenly Shadow Gate is" The old man's expression has always been ancient but he suddenly said angrily: "You are bold, you dare not even admit your own master"
Zhang Yu trembled with fright, and after a long time, he said with a serious look: "I really don't know what the Heavenly Shadow Gate is" He suddenly remembered something and continued: "If the old man wants to say that the martial arts in my body, it was handed over to me by a fairy grandfather back then" The old man was also obviously stunned and sighed: "What does the fairy grandfather you said look like?"
Zhang Yu described the appearance of the old man who taught him the internal strength of the heart to the old man, and the old man seemed to know in his heart when he heard it, nodded and said lightly: "I see" The old man said: "I didn't expect you to suffer this misery at a young age, I thought that the people of Chengjiazhuang were not very beautiful in your martial arts, and when I saw that you were not deeply involved in the world, I had bad intentions" Zhang Yu nodded.
In this way, they lived with this old man, as the old man said, they usually ate wild fruits, Zhang Yu gradually got used to it, and he didn't feel so bitter after eating the wild grass for several days, and his injuries gradually recovered.
The old man was silent on weekdays, except for some words with Zhang Yu on the first day, and almost no words in the following days, the old man just nodded or shook his head, Zhang Yu only felt that there must be an inhuman story in the old man's heart.
It's just that he knows very little and doesn't know what comfort is, and he does some strange things to make the old man happy, but no matter what, he doesn't see the old man show a smile.
Later, I heard the old man say that because this place is surrounded by mountains, it is strange that every time the sun rises, only one side can get the sun, so he named it "Sanyin Valley".
Zhang Yu frolicked with all kinds of animals in the valley every day, and he was at ease when he lived, and his injuries had healed in a while, and the bitter weeds did not need to be eaten.
Ten days later, on this day he was bathing a monkey in a creek when he heard a cry of "chirp..." Zhang Yu was startled, let go of the monkey in his hand, and ran into the forest to see many macaques tearing together for some reason, Zhang Yu stepped forward to drive away, many monkeys actually attacked Zhang Yu, and he had to run away.
Fang walked not far and the monkey fought again, Zhang Yu went to drive it away, and finally dispersed, but there were two monkeys walking and limping, Zhang Yu caught the two monkeys and found that there was blood on their legs, thinking that they were scratched by their companions.
He first found some leaves to wrap the wounds of the monkeys, and then picked up the two monkeys and came to the big stone where the old man rested on weekdays, and saw that the old man was meditating and closed his eyes to recuperate, so he didn't dare to disturb and had to stand behind him, and suddenly heard the old man ask: "What's the matter" Zhang Yu hugged the monkey in front of the old man and said: "You see these two monkeys fighting with other monkeys, and they hurt their legs."
The old man glanced at Zhang Yu and said, "Then let's bandage it" said that he got up and first pulled out a few herbs, then went back to the grass house to find a few rags, smashed the herb with a jar and then bandaged the monkey's leg and let it go, the monkey was very happy, nodded at Zhang Yu and bowed his waist, as if he was saying words of thanks, which made Zhang Yu look surprised, and after a while, it ran away.
After a while, the old man said lightly: "Everything has spirituality, this little monkey still has a grateful heart, let alone people?" After a pause, he continued: "Child, you can't raise your injuries now, do you want to go out of the valley?"
Zhang Yu hesitated for a moment, he felt how good it was to have no quarrel with the world in this place, but he remembered Zhang Qing'er coming, so he nodded and said: "I have been separated from my sister for many days, and I don't know if my sister is safe, I want to go out to find her."
