Chapter 15: Grandpa, I'm Hungry

Ruan Shuipei immediately recognized that it was Dai Hu's voice, looked at his grandfather Huangshang timidly, and saw that his grandfather had no expression, no permission or objection, and immediately replied softly: "Here." ”

The person who spoke obviously also heard Ruan Shuipei's voice, and said: "It turns out that you are here, it is really easy for me to find, a few of them looked at it in which hole, I can't read, so I came out to play with you first!"

Ruan Shuipei didn't answer, but Dai Hu had already followed the voice just now and walked to the entrance of the cave where Ruan Shuipei was. When I saw Ruan Shuipei, of course, I also saw Huang Shang.

Dai Hu was startled at first, then calmed down, and said, "Little doll, is he the grandfather you said!" bowed, but Huang Sheng ignored it. Dai Hu felt bored, but he didn't care, and stood directly beside Ruan Shuipei.

Huang Sheng said: "Shui Pei, did you take him up the mountain?" Ruan Shui Pei nodded. Huang Sheng said lightly: "In this case, you saved him and took him up the mountain to see it, so send him down the mountain!"

Ruan Shuipei stood still, obviously a little embarrassed. Seeing Ruan Shuipei's embarrassed expression, Dai Hu immediately became hostile to the old man in front of him, and said, "You old man, you are still embarrassed by a little doll when you are old. Besides, the mountain is your home? Could it be that you are the emperor's old son? Hmph, I just don't want to go down the mountain, see what you can do to me?"

Huang Shang sneered and was silent.

Ruan Shuipei saw that her grandfather's face was wrong, and immediately beckoned to Dai Hu, shaking her head and signaling him not to say that again, she naturally knew that her grandfather was capable, even if ten Dai Hu were added together, she was not grandpa's opponent.

Huang Sheng turned his head to look at Ruan Shuipei and said, "Why did you bring the scoundrel up the mountain?" You close your eyes and wait for your grandfather to send this scoundrel down the mountain. He said to Dai Hu: "Playing scoundrels is not a heroic act, you are like this, if you meet a master who is more arrogant than you, you will easily suffer!" Dai Hu did not answer.

Ruan Shuipei heard from his grandfather's words that he wanted to teach Dai Hu a lesson, and at that moment, he quickly walked over a few steps to block Dai Hu's body, and said with grievances: "Grandpa, this big doll is a good person, you can't hurt him! You don't like him here, I'll take him down the mountain." ”

Dai Hu listened to Ruan Shuipei's intercession for himself, and he was very grateful in his heart, and said: "Little doll, you get out of the way first, you are very good, but I am a dignified man in Jifeng Village, let the little doll intercede for me, if others know, there will be no face." He said to this Huang Shang again: "Grandma said, you have high kung fu, but I am not afraid of wearing a tiger, whether it is killing or chopping, I am standing here today." He put on a helpless look again.

Huang Sheng was obviously also a little surprised by Dai Hu's reply, he had heard some things about Jifengzhai, and over the years, Jifengzhai had indeed done a lot of good things for the people living here. said: "Thirty or forty-year-old man, helpless again, are you ashamed?"

Dai Hu said: "I've always been like this, come here as you want! ”

Huang Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, good, you're amazing, if you want to stay here, just stay here! When you've had enough, go down the mountain by yourself! Don't leave it at that." He said to Ruan Shuipei again: "Shuipei, let's go." With that, he took Ruan Shuipei's little hand and went in the other direction. Ruan Shuipei had to follow, but she didn't see it, before this, Huang Sheng had already picked up a few stones from the ground and hit Dai Hu's different acupoints. Dai Hu stood there, Ruan Shuipei only thought that Dai Hu was in a daze because of his grandfather's emotional change, but he didn't know that Dai Hu wanted to speak, but he couldn't move at this time, and if he wanted to say yes, he naturally couldn't.

Huang Sheng didn't go far by holding Ruan Shuipei's hand, suddenly stopped, and asked, "Shuipei, are there any other people who were taken up the mountain by you today?" Although he asked, without waiting for Ruan Shuipei to answer, he lowered his body and grabbed a handful of snow, immediately pinched it into a snowball, looked to the left, and said loudly: "Since Shuipei invited a guest to the mountain, you don't need to hide, just show up!"

Sure enough, a few people had already walked out of the pine forest on the left side of Huang Shang, it was Yan Bin and others, Ling Fangrui walked in the front, Yin Jingping walked in the middle with Duanmu Kang on his back, Yan Bin and Yang Yuzhong followed closely behind, Dai Hu's acupoint had just been unlocked, and the blood circulation was not smooth, so he walked the slower.

It turned out that they were looking for Dai Hu's footprints and voices, and walked from the Five Immortals Cave to the cave where Huang Sheng showed Ruan Shuipei the "firecrackers". Dai Hu had an impatient temperament and couldn't stay in the cave, and when he saw that the little doll Ruan Shuipei didn't come to pick them up, he walked out of the cave. The rest of the people found that Dai Hu was not in the cave, and they were afraid that he would go out to "cause trouble", so they came out to look for him, and stayed in front of the cave where Ruan Shuipei watched the "firecrackers". Seeing Huang Sheng pulling Ruan Shuipei away, he unlocked the sealed acupoint for Dai Hu. A few people didn't take a few steps before they were discovered by Huang Shang.

Huang Shang saw these people, saw Dai Hu walking at the back, and said in his heart: "Being able to unlock the acupoints on that person's body in such a short period of time, it seems that these people are extraordinary." It's almost the New Year, and I don't go home for a reunion, but I come up the mountain, maybe it's sent by the enemy. Then he thought again: "Because of the Zhengfang Rebellion, I may have made some enemies, but in the past ten years, no one has been looking for them." But if it's not an enemy, then who is it? It's already the last years of the candle, and I haven't appeared in the past ten years, and even if there is an enemy, it's only because I'm old and dead. Is it true that they were sent by the imperial court? This is also not right, ten years ago, the imperial court had already issued a list of those who died in that war, and I was the first, and it would not be the imperial court. ”

didn't allow Huang Sheng to think about it anymore, Ling Fangrui and the others had already walked over. Ruan Shuipei broke away from his grandfather's hand and ran to Ling Fangrui's side to say hello, Huang Sheng wanted to stop it, but it was too late, so he immediately used his internal strength to prepare, and when the people over there were a little malicious, he took action to save Ruan Shuipei. But seeing that there were no malicious intentions on the other side, I was a little relieved.

Ruan Shuipei whispered to Ling Fangrui: "Sister, this is my grandfather, is he the cure for my disease?" Of course Ling Fangrui already knew, but she was also very happy and grateful for the little girl Ruan Shuipei's low "introduction" in front of her.

Huang Sheng only noticed the person on Yin Jingping's back at this time, and when he saw Duanmu Kang's face, Huang Sheng immediately guessed the reason why several people went up the mountain, but he didn't say it. He only asked coldly, "How many people tricked my granddaughter into bringing you up the mountain, what do you have to say?"

Ling Fangrui heard him ask, and replied, "We went up the mountain and asked for your help." Look at Duanmu Kang on Yin Jingping's back.

Huang Sheng naturally understood, didn't speak, walked straight to Yin Jingping, glanced at Duanmu Kang's black face, was a little surprised, and stretched out his hand to test his pulse, and said, "There is nothing you can do!"

When Ling Fangrui heard this, her heart was like a knife, and she asked, "Is it really not saved?"

Huang Shang said: "That poison is not easy to solve, but now, it has entered his internal organs, and it is too late." ”

Ling Fangrui's whole heart became cold, she trembled, and she was about to fall, but fortunately, Ruan Shuipei was by her side, and she couldn't help but whisper to herself: "It's not saved, Akang can't be saved!" However, Grandma said that Akang's disease can still be cured, Senior Huang! Grandma, Grandma. ”

Huang Sheng saw Ling Fangrui shouting "Ah Kang, Ah Po Ah Po", he knew that "Ah Kang" was the child in front of him, and "Senior Huang" naturally referred to him, and said in his heart: "Shui Pei is also true, how can you casually tell others about their names." In my heart, I blamed Ruan Shuipei for being ignorant. In fact, Ruan Shuipei didn't say his grandfather's name, and he didn't know the situation of Ling Fangrui and others and Grandma Ruan Bing, so he just thought it was Ruan Shuipei who said it. But despite this, he was also curious about who the "Grandma" in Ling Fangrui's mouth was, how she knew my name, and guided these people up the mountain. So he asked, "Who is 'Grandma'? How does she know that my surname is Huang and I still live in the mountains?"

Ling Fangrui hadn't come back to her senses yet, obviously indifferent to Huang Shang's question just now. Dai Hu replied first: "'Grandma' is the grandmother of this little girl doll." ”

Huang Sheng obviously didn't believe it, and said angrily: "Hugh is talking nonsense, a few years ago, Shui Pei's grandmother had passed away. ”

Dai Hu was already a little stuttering, and he couldn't speak for a while, Yan Bin saw this, and hurriedly explained: "Grandma just left an acquaintance, but she didn't leave the world, I saw her last night, she really said it." ”

Huang Shang noticed Yan Bin at this time, took a closer look, and said: "According to Mr. Look, he doesn't look like a hero in the green forest, it's not good to be a teacher or take the test to make a name for himself and glorify his ancestors." ”

Yan Bin sighed and said, "A person who stands alone and hangs on each other, it is better to be free and easy to show to whoever he has achieved fame." There is a saying: "I see that Mr. is full of official body, and he will eventually return to the mountains and forests, I think, I also want to be at ease." ”

Huang Shang was told by Yan Bin about his life experience, and he also recalled the past when he was an official in his heart. At this time, Ling Fangrui on the side also regained her composure, reached out and took out Grandma Ruan Bing's letter, handed it to Huang Shang, and said, "Senior, I was entrusted by someone last night to hand over this letter to you." ”

Huang Sheng hesitated for a moment, but still took it, with a lot of thoughts in his heart, and said in his heart: "'Entrusted by someone'? Could it really be her who entrusts this letter? She hasn't written to me for decades!" Although there was hesitation in her hand, she had long hoped to see the content of the letter and see her familiar and beautiful little letter. After all, he couldn't hold back, Huang Sheng gently opened the folded paper, yes, the handwriting was still so familiar, and it was a little more powerful than the previous neat and beautiful in it. Involuntarily said: "Yes, yes, it's her words! ”

It turned out that every time Ruan Bing wrote a letter to him in the past, Bing would have a little more words, saying that he was anxious and crying when he replied to the letter, which only they understood and others did not know. No wonder Huang Sheng immediately confirmed that it was really Ruan Bing's letter.

Huang Sheng read the letter quietly, and the others stopped talking, Ruan Shuipei wanted to lean over to take a look, Huang Sheng immediately raised his palm, turned around and continued to look, Ruan Shuipei made a grimace, but did not follow. After a while, Huang Sheng carefully retracted the letter to his cuffs, turned around, and looked at Ruan Shuipei, his expression full of love. Looking at Ling Fangrui and the others again, everyone shook their heads. Huang Sheng understood that these people in front of her did not tell her what happened to Ruan Shuipei's family.

Ling Fangrui recounted the events of last night, but omitted the story about Huangshang told by the Huanglong Gang and Ruan Bing. Although Ruan Shuipei on the side loves to play, he doesn't like to listen to the scenes of fighting and killing, squatting next to Duanmu Kang, looking at the black cheeks.

Huang Sheng stomped his feet when he heard this, and said angrily: "It's Zhang Hongshan again, then, is she seriously injured?"

Ling Fangrui knew that she was naturally referring to Ruan Bing in Huang Shang's mouth, and said immediately: "After fighting fiercely for so long, how can there be a reason not to be injured, fortunately, Grandma is only slightly injured, presumably it is okay at this time." ”

Ruan Shuipei heard about Grandma's affairs, and she was much more energetic, so she also came over to listen.

Huang Sheng continued to ask: "Zhang Hongshan ran away like this. If only I had been there last night. He looked at Ling Fangrui and said, "However, I can't be here, I can't embarrass her." ”

Ling Fangrui said: "After so many years, Grandma has been relieved of many things. If you can't become a dependent, you are naturally not an enemy, and it is nothing to be friends and talk?"

Huang Shang said: "It's hard to say, it's hard to say." Then, after talking to the other people for a while, Lala was homely, and the previous giant had completely disappeared from thousands of miles away.

Suddenly, Ruan Shuipei interrupted the conversation of several people and said, "Come on, everyone, he has no pulse and is going to die." ”

Ling Fangrui was the first to rush over, and Yin Jingping, Huang Sheng and others also hurriedly walked over. I saw Huang Sheng pinching Duanmukang's right vein with his left hand, taking out a pill from his clothes with his right hand and sending it into Duanmukang's mouth, and then pinching a handful of snow on the ground and sending it into Duanmukang's mouth.

Slowly, slowly, the black on Duanmu Kang's face gradually faded, and then, with a movement in his throat, Huang Sheng let go of his hand and said, "He will wake up later." Everyone was very happy to hear this, and Ling Fangrui's face was full of joy, so happy that she couldn't speak.

Sure enough, after a while, Duanmu Kang broke open his eyes, swept them over to everyone, and slowly closed them again. Ling Fangrui hurriedly said: "Akang, wake up, wake up." He cried again.

Huang Sheng tried Duanmu Kang's pulse again, and said, "The pulse is already normal, but he is sleepy and hasn't eaten, it's too weak, just wait a while." ”

Dai Hu heard this, and hurriedly said: "This doll has not eaten, I will go roast some horse meat now." As he spoke, he was about to leave. Huang Sheng stopped him and said, "No, he can't swallow it." He turned around and said, "Shui Pei, didn't you say a few days ago that a leopard gave birth to a leopard cub?"

Ruan Shuipei understood, only to see her get up, whistle twice, and a leopard came over, it was the female leopard who had not been giving birth to her cubs for a short time.

After drinking leopard milk, after a while, Duanmu Kang opened his eyes again and woke up. This time, he didn't close his eyes again like before, only to see his lips roll slightly, and said softly: "Mother, Brother Yin, Uncle Haohan of Jifeng Village, Grandpa, Sister Ruan." Thank you. ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and Ruan Shui said, "Little doll, how do you know that my surname is Ruan?"

Duanmukang said in a low voice: "Hehe, little doll, I'm older than you, the little doll should be you!" and said: "Originally, I fell asleep, but when I met the wolves, my heart was sober, and I could hear you talking, but I couldn't say it myself." "Hehe" laughed and continued: "I also heard the whispers between you and my mother!

Huang Shang said: "This doll has woken up now, but don't give him anything to eat, especially hot things, because of the elixir, his heart is very angry, and after two hours, he can eat some gruel." ”

Ruan Shuipei heard Duanmu Kang say that he heard the whispering between her and Ling Fangrui, his white cheeks slowly reddened, turned around shyly, and said softly: "Grandpa, I'm hungry." ”

Huang Sheng immediately said: "Oh, it's grandpa who is not good, and he forgot to prepare lunch for Shui Pei." But he said in his heart: "It's strange today, Shui Pei took the initiative to ask for dinner for the first time, and he used to chase her and coax her and beg her to eat." But when he heard Ruan Shuipei shouting that he was hungry, he didn't have time to think about it, so he turned around and left. After just a few steps, he stopped again and said to a few people: "Since you have come up the mountain, let's eat this meal together!" and said: "Shui Pei, you take them to the Five Immortal Caves to rest." With that, he walked away.

The Five Immortals Cave is not far away, and a few people will arrive after a cup of tea. Yan, Yang, and Yin sat down to chat, and at this time, although Duanmu Kang was able to walk, Ling Fangrui was still carefully supporting him, for fear that he would fall. Ruan Shuipei saw Dai Hu alone in a daze, knowing that Dai Hu was a rough person, and the conversation between the three of them, Dai Hu was very difficult, and she didn't want to interject, so she walked towards Dai Hu and said with a smile: "Big doll, why are you sitting here alone and playing by yourself, go, I'll take you to see good things, I guarantee you haven't seen it recently!"

Dai Hu only thought that Ruan Shuipei was going to take him to see leopards, wolves and the like, and he was not interested at first, but he thought that it was better than listening to the boring talk of the three here, so he happily got up.

Duanmu Kang on the side said: "Little doll, can you take me with you and let me have a long experience?"

Ruan Shuipei laughed: "Haha, little doll, you are also a little doll! It's okay to see it, but I'm afraid that if you do, you won't be blessed with pastime, and when the time comes, you should blame me for the gluttonous drool." ”

Duanmu Kang said with a smile: "Haha, little brother, I am also a person who has traveled south and north for several years, and I have eaten good things! Don't worry, I won't rob you." ”

Ruan Shuipei said: "Okay then! Let's go." He said to Ling Fangrui again: "Good sister, are you going too?"

Duanmukang was going to go, Ling Fangrui couldn't rest assured, afraid that Duanmukang would just be able to walk, and it would not be good to fall. Momently, he smiled and nodded. Dai Hu listened to the food instead of the leopard and the wolf, and his interest doubled.

With a few bamboo baskets in hand, a few people set off. The mountain is very large, but Ruan Shuipei has grown up here since he was a child, so he is naturally the most familiar with it, and after a while, the four of them came to a cave.

Ruan Shuipei said: "Delicious things, everything is complete, all in it." The tone of his voice was very proud.

Duanmu Kang said: "Everything is complete? It won't be a lie! Even the emperor Lao Tzu has something to eat?"

Ruan Shuipei asked rhetorically: "Have you eaten Emperor Laozi's food? What does he eat?"

The speaker had no intention, but the listener paid attention, Ruan Shuipei really thought that Duanmu Kang had seen the emperor eat! Duanmu Kang suddenly looked a little embarrassed, and said with a red face: "This, naturally there is no chance now, but maybe I can see it in the future, and I will still eat it?"

Ruan Shuipei said "oh", knowing that Duanmu Kang had never seen it, and said at the moment: "Okay, take me to see and understand when I have the opportunity in the future." ”

Duanmu Kang nodded awkwardly. The little girl in front of her is innocent, but thoughtful.

Ruan Shuipei still didn't believe his words when he heard Duanmu Kang's appearance, but he was also angry, and said softly: "There are fruits, vegetables, rare birds and beasts in every season of the year, and you will know later." At first, Ling Fangrui was also a little unconvinced, but after hearing Ruan Shuipei's words, she was so confident, and there must be no fakes.

As far as Dai Hu is concerned, at this moment, as long as it is something that can be eaten, it is generally good, and it doesn't matter whether it is a delicacy or a coarse tea and light rice! Ruan Shuipei saw Dai Hu's anxious appearance and said with a smile: "Look, the big doll can't wait, let's go first!"

This cave is called Ice Spring Cave, and the cave where a few people rested at the beginning of the mountain is already different, here, in addition to the stone table and stone bench, there are several stone rooms.

Dai Hu stood in front of the stone room even more eagerly, pushed it a few times with his hand, the stone gate did not move, and said, "Little doll, why is this stone door so heavy? I can't open it!" Turning his head to look at Ruan Shuipei, but there was no trace of the three people, he lowered his head, only to find that the three heads on the ground were looking at him with a smile.

Only then did Dai Hu realize that the delicious food was not in the stone room. Immediately followed in.

Ruan Shuipei said as he walked: "Further down, there is the cold storage, where the fruits and vegetables that can't be eaten in winter are there. Ling Fangrui was careful, and had already found the footprints along the way and the lights lit in this tunnel, so she asked: "Do you often come here to pick up things?" Ruan Shuipei shook his head and replied: "I haven't been here a few times, in the past, the farmers under the mountain sent these things up the mountain, and grandpa asked them to put them on the top of the mountain, and then they were brought here by livestock camels, and then grandpa moved in one by one, I wanted to help, grandpa didn't let me, afraid that I would be tired, so I followed up empty-handed." Sister, did you find footprints on the ground? I compared the size in my heart, is it my grandfather in it? I think, he is worried about what to eat!"

Ling Fangrui admired the carefulness of the little girl in front of her, and continued to ask, "Senior Huang is so worried every time he cooks?"

Ruan Shuipei said: "Yes, grandpa always wants to make delicious food to coax me to eat, but I really can't eat it?"

Ling Fangrui smiled and said, "That's the food made by the seniors that is not to your taste?"

Ruan Shuipei said: "It's not, I really can't eat, no matter what kind of food, I lose my appetite after a few bites, but grandpa still tries his best to coax me to eat more." In fact, in my memory, every meal was cooked for me by my grandfather, no matter how it tasted, but in my heart, it was the most delicious thing in the world. ”

Ling Fangrui said: "Your grandma cooks well and eats hard, when you get well, go down the mountain and go back, she will definitely cook food for you every day." After that, he briefly introduced a few dishes made by Grandma Ruan Bing in her store, and Ruan Shuipei was very happy to hear it.

Ruan Shuipei said: "Then my sister will make it for me today, okay?"

Ling Fangrui smiled and replied, "Why not? ”

The tunnel was not wide, and Dai Hu's fat body was already very tired, and said: "I said little doll, why can't you go so far!

Ruan Shuipei replied: "In this kind of weather, naturally it won't rot, but those things are not put in such weather!"

Dai Hu understood, and said with a smile: "Yes, I didn't expect that this kind of weather wouldn't rot, but it's completely different on weekdays." ”

Ruan Shuipei said: "Big doll, don't worry, when you see those things to eat, you will find that you will not come to this trip in vain." Remember what I said when I first went up the mountain?"

Dai Hu said: "What did you say?"

Ruan Shuipei said: "You want to eat horse meat like that, I said please eat something good." ”

Dai Hu suddenly realized, and hurriedly said: "Yes! There is such a thing, I actually forgot." With that, he reached out and touched the back of his head, "haha" and laughed a few times, and the other three laughed too.

As he spoke, he had reached the end of the passage. But I saw that the stone door of the stone chamber on the left had been opened, and a person was standing in the stone chamber in a daze. Ruan Shuipei said loudly: "Grandpa." ”
