Chapter 32: Adventures in the Mountains

Peony Yong and Ula Quack easily and quickly walked through the mountains and forests, and they really went down the mountain. It is easy for mortals to go up the mountain and difficult to go down. But for them, they can use a little light power, and the speed of going down the mountain is different. After walking for about an hour, they could already see the green, flat meadow at the foot of the mountain. After passing through the three hundred miles of Lucky Meadow, they were on the road.

Ulla croaked in cheer and ran to the front.

Peony Yong couldn't help but smile as he watched Ulla's smug figure move rapidly in front of him. But in the blink of an eye, as if he had tripped over something, he threw himself forward, and then began to roll forward. It was so angry and funny that he followed behind, and he shouted, "I've never seen you go down the mountain like this, what are you playing!"

Ula finally stopped in front of a bush, got up, turned back to Peony, and shouted, "There is a man lying there on this path, and he has tripped over me. Childe, be careful!"

At this time, Peony Yong had also arrived there, and through the dense branches of trees and the messy weeds, he saw a man crawling on the path. Because he was lying face down, he couldn't tell how old he was, and beside him was a bamboo basket with a small plaid cloth bag scattered out.

Peony Yong approached and called twice, and when he saw that there was no movement, he bent down and reached out to touch the aorta in his neck, feeling that there was still a faint rhythm - this person was not dead. At this time, Ula also turned around and walked back, he grabbed Peony Yong's arm and said, "Don't mess with him, maybe it's someone who ran out of the epidemic area! Don't be infected." ”

Peony Yong said: "You really think of yourself as a mortal, can we be infected?"

Ula scratched her scalp with her hand, and said a little embarrassedly: "Hehe, no, I'm confused." So, he and Peony Yong turned this person over, and when they saw it, it was a teenager about their age. I saw that his face was black and purple, his eyes were closed, and his breath was like a gossamer.

Peony said: "He was bitten by a snake. Then he squatted down, first protected his heart, and then patted him on the cheek, and called softly: "Hey, wake up, wake up!"

After a while, the strange boy opened his eyes slightly, and muttered, "I'll go... Colorful... Fortunate... City, run to... Uncle... Then he tilted his head and ran out of breath.

Peony Yong stood up silently and looked at him for a long time, and then said to Ula Quack beside him, "Let's bury him." The first is to protect his whole body, and the second is to avoid being poisoned once eaten by the animals. Alas, poor human beings. ”

Ulla nodded. Two men carried the deceased's head and feet, put him in a low-lying place, and then built a grave for him with broken stones. There was a letter in the baggage left by the strange boy, and Peony Yong opened it and looked at it.

The young man's name was Meng Liang, and there was the address of the young man's uncle on the envelope, and he wondered if he should go to his uncle's house according to the address after arriving in Colorful Lucky City? As soon as I thought about it, I used the immortal method to store it.

It turned out that this dead teenager Meng Liang was really the only child of a family surnamed Meng in the corner of the West Mountain in the epidemic area. In the plague, Meng Liang's grandparents and parents died of illness within a month, and before his mother died, he asked his son to go to his younger brother who lived at No. 13 North Road of Colorful Lucky City, relying on ancestral medicine and Meng Liang's maternal uncle Dr. Wang Siren. On that letter, Meng Liang's mother entrusted her child to her younger brother, and words of gratitude. The heart of a mother's heart is moving.

The two of them buried the boy and quickly went down to the bottom of the mountain, seeing that it was already three poles of the sun, the sun was shining, and the road ahead was a large meadow, and it should be much easier to cross the four-leaf clover. The two of them raised their steps and accelerated their march, and Ula Quaqua was already impatient to walk, so he recovered his original body and flew up, showing the direction for Peony Yong in front of him.

After walking for about half an hour, he heard Ullah cry out happily: "Look ahead! The road is not far ahead." ”

Peony Yong put up a pergola and looked around, only to see the figures in the east direction, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious and apprehensive. After all, this is the first time he has come to the world alone, and he also has a heavy mission to complete within the time limit, and any situation he encounters here - the people he sees and the things he encounters must be judged and decided by himself, and he still has a lot of timidity and helplessness in his heart. Even though they are all mortals, and they are immortals.

Soon, they were on the road that led to the Colorful Lucky City. However, to their great surprise and incomprehension, there were many pedestrians coming and going on the main road, but many of them were hurrying in the direction of the north, in groups, and some of them were prostrating on the ground after walking a few steps, looking very respectful and reverent.

At this time, Ula Quaqua had already changed back into a human form, and he and Peony Yong walked along the side of the road to the south in the direction of --- Colorful Lucky City, while involuntarily being attracted by the behavior of people traveling north on the road. Seeing that some people had blood stains on their knees, he took a few steps and bowed reverently, Ula croaked and muttered to Peony Yong: "These people, why are you going?

Peony Yong also felt very strange, while walking and observing, he saw a mother-in-law with kind eyebrows and a huge cool hat coming towards him, so he stood on his feet, and when he got closer, Shi Li asked: "This mother-in-law, take it and ask: Where are you going? What are you going to do?"

The gray-haired mother-in-law saw that it was a young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, so she stopped, sighed, and said, "Little boy, you don't know, there is a white-faced mountain less than twenty miles away from here. Recently, there is a god on the mountain, and the legend is that the third generation disciple of the Buddha of the medicine master Liuliguang Rulai went down to earth, specializing in curing all diseases in the world and saving the suffering. These people are sick themselves or someone in the family is sick, and the doctors are not good, so they all go to Baimian Mountain to ask for miracle medicine. In order to express their piety, many people kowtow all the way from twenty miles to the bottom of the mountain where the gods live. I'm old, and I can't move when I get up on my knees. ”

"Mother-in-law, who are you asking for medicine?" asked Ula Quaqua as she stood aside and interjected.

"My old man is bedridden at home, asking for medicine for the old man. Alas!" said the mother-in-law, lifting the placket of her clothes to wipe the sweat from her head, and said, "Although this is just approaching spring, the sun is also shining." ”

"Yes, mother-in-law. Thank you, you have to go slowly. Peony Yong said pityingly, then leaned back to give way, and then stood there and watched the old woman slowly walk away, and a thought suddenly occurred in his heart. He turned his gaze to Ullah, who was also looking at him.

Ulla croaked up to him and said, "Could it be ——??"

"And I thought about it. Peony said: "Let's change the direction of progress!"

"Quack!" Ulla quacked happily, and they turned and walked north. They feel that it is too coincidental for such a magical immortal to come down to the earth to hang the pot to help the world, maybe it has something to do with the treasure "Lotus Divine Pearl" put into the mortal world by King Yao Huang.
