Chapter 55: All the way north
Xiaoxiao couldn't run anymore, so he sat on the ground and played tricks. The old man picked her up without saying a word and continued to run, until the clouds could no longer stand it, and then he found a forest to rest for a while.
The old man was also tired, panting for breath, his tongue was about to spit out, and he kept looking back, for fear of being overtaken.
Xiaoxiao hugged a big tree, and refused to take another step. kept complaining: "Old man, what are you running? How can you say that you are also a senior in the rivers and lakes, and your martial arts are high, even the old nun is afraid of you." Your senior brother is not a ghost, he can scare you like this!"
"You don't know!" said the old man, squatting on the ground with a sad face, "That old thing is more terrible than a ghost!"
"So your senior brother is not a good person, he is not good to you?" Xiao Xiao immediately burst with curiosity.
"It's hard to say whether he's a good guy or not, but I've never seen who he harmed!
"Then what are you running?" asked Yun puzzled.
"Ahem! It's all tears!" The old man didn't seem to have much chance to talk to others about the bitterness in his heart, and at this time, he was reminded of the sad past by the two, so he simply opened the conversation box and began to tell his bitter history of blood and tears.
"When I was five years old, I was taken up the mountain by my master, and I didn't care much about my brother when I was left behind. It can be said that I was brought up by my senior brother, and my martial arts were also taught by my senior brother. From the moment I was handed over to him, he set the rules for me. If there are differences of opinion on everything, everyone should negotiate and resolve them. If you really can't talk about it, guess the fist to solve it, and whoever wins will listen to whom. ”
"Sounds fair!" said Xiaoxiao, blinking his eyes in confusion.
"yes! I thought it was fair at the time, so I agreed. But if you haven't won a single win in over 50 years, would you still say that?"
"Impossible!" Xiao Xiao was also shocked: "How can you carry it like this!
"Don't you think I don't know that he cheats? But there is no flaw in what he did! He doesn't admit it, and I have no evidence, so I can only grit my teeth and admit it!"
"It's okay when he was a child, at least there is a master above to press him. Sometimes I was oppressed and ruthless, so I would cry with the master, and if I didn't ask too much, most of the time I could do what I wanted. It's a pity that the master passed away a few years later. That old thing has turned over and called the shots, and my good days are gone forever!"
"I have to listen to him for everything, and if I don't agree, I guess boxing, but I can't win. There were a few times when I couldn't stand it anymore and had a big argument with him. He didn't beat me or scold me, but held the master's ashes jar and howled. From when I was a child, he fed me when I was a child, helped me bathe when I was a few years old, and was afraid that I would be punished for being punished...... And so on and so forth. It's a shame that he's so old, and his memory is so good!"
"I also said that the master asked him to take care of me before he died, and he promised and did it. The master asked me to listen to him, and I agreed, but I couldn't do it before the master's bones were cold, and so on. ”
"What can I do? I don't understand, the master has been dead for more than 40 years, why can't the bones be cold!"
"Eight years ago, I walked the rivers and lakes and did something righteous and brave in Taihu Lake, but I didn't expect to get into some trouble. I was about to solve it myself, but he came out of nowhere, settled the matter without my consent, and then grounded me for being in trouble. ”
"I've never stepped out of Longhu Mountain for eight years. I do the same thing every day, I see the same people, but it suffocates me. I was so bored that I even grabbed all the rats in the entire Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and named them one by one!"
"Until two months ago, it took him a long time to return to the mountains after he came out on errands. I took this opportunity to run out, but I didn't expect him to come to Jiangbei a few days later. If I get caught this time, I guess I won't think about it for the rest of my life, so I have to play enough!"
"Is there a place for the seniors?" asked Yunyun.
"Well, haven't figured it out yet. I just want to go through the places I haven't been to and go wherever I go!"
"Oh, old man, have you ever been to Changbai Mountain?" the little eyes lit up instantly.
"Haven't been. Changqing replied honestly.
"Then you can come with us! You see that you are so old, and you have no experience in the mountains all year round. How can we rest assured that you are walking the rivers and lakes alone! Besides, you're so delicious, have you brought enough silver? No, you'll know if you look at me! The two of us don't brag about it, and we have 1,800 taels of silver on our bodies, and you can eat and drink good wine and food. What do you think?"
Hearing the unlimited supply of delicious food and drink, Changqing was obviously a little moved. But he still asked cautiously: "It's so good to me, why do you need my old man to say it first, lest the matter come to an end, and say that my old man is not righteous." I won't do it, robbing houses, killing people and setting fires!"
"How can it be as serious as you always say! Look at me, I am as beautiful as a flower, innocent and pure! Look at the honest face of that kid squatting under the tree! How can we be bad people! Just one request!" Xiaoxiao raised a finger: "If someone bullies me, you help me beat him! I bully others, you also help me beat him!
Changqing Zhenren looked at the little fingers and thought for a long time: "You seem to have two requests, right? I can only promise not to let others bully you." ”
"Hmph, I'm so calculating at such an old age!" Xiaoxiao pouted: "Okay, okay, I'll find someone else responsible for bullying!"
Then the two discussed some details. For example, the number of meat and vegetables at each meal, the year of the wine, and the grade of the hotel. The old man wants the best in everything, and Xiaoxiao firmly believes that her money is not blown by the wind, and it is necessary to link the old man's usual performance with the treatment he receives. The old man blushed and argued for half an hour before reaching a consensus. I was stunned by the clouds watching from the side.
Finally, this slightly weird temporary threesome is here. Since then, a confused old man, an eccentric girl and a somewhat cold teenager have appeared on the rivers and lakes. No one knows their teachers and sects, but they know that the old man's martial arts are unfathomable, that girl is as good as a little fox and never suffers, and that young man is ruthless and jealous. Everywhere they passed, chickens flew and dogs jumped, making a lot of jokes, but they hoeed the strong and helped the weak, and hugged the unevenness all the way to the north.
On this day, there was an old man and two young people in Tiantu Mountain near Cangzhou in the north. The three of them were a little embarrassed, and they were covered in dust. In particular, the girl's clothes were scratched with a few holes, and her fair face was stained with some mud, which was washed by sweat one by one.
I only heard her constantly complaining to the old man beside her: "It's all you, why are you hitting other people's birds? Look at it now! I've been chased by others for more than 100 miles! I can't fight back, so I've never been so aggrieved." ”
The old man said with a sad face: "How do I know that the golden eagle was raised in their village, and it is said that it is still some kind of guardian beast. How can there be a divine beast that is so unresistant, a stone will break its head to pieces. ”
The cloud next to him couldn't stand it: "Don't make trouble, little bit! You are complaining! It's you who said that you are hungry, let the seniors give you a game roast to eat." The big bird flew by again, and was easily beaten down by the seniors. How do we know it's raised!"
Seeing that the clouds were stubble, Xiao Xiao pouted and stopped squeaking.
"Hehe, you wild girl, Xiaoyun can cure you! Don't be angry, let's take a look around, where is this?"
It turned out that the three of them, old and young, walked to the vicinity of Tiantu Mountain, and the little novel was hungry and asked the old man to find something to eat, and a big bird happened to fly overhead. The old man picked up a stone and knocked it down with a hidden weapon. Before the little cheers were enough, they were surrounded by several hunter-like people.
It turned out to be a golden eagle, raised by a nearby village, and it was said that it could suppress the mandrill and wild ghosts and keep one side safe. On this day, the hunters in the village took it out to hunt, but unexpectedly, it was hung in the hands of the old man. The mountain people in the mountains were very strong, and they didn't even give them a chance to explain, saying that they were going to escort them back to worship the mountain gods.
The old man and Yun felt that they were a little at a loss, and the other party was an ordinary person, so they didn't do anything. But Xiaoxiao didn't care about that set, and knocked those hunters down in a few clicks.
Unexpectedly, before he walked thirty miles after leaving, he was caught up by the number one hundred and ten. According to his small temperament, he was about to draw a knife, but he was pulled by the clouds and ran away with the old man. I thought that the three of them had done a good job, and it was effortless to get rid of those mountain people. Na Cheng thought that those mountain people were usually used to walking mountain roads, and they were all walking like flying, and some hunters could still release cold arrows from time to time when they were running, and their accuracy was not bad, which caused them a lot of trouble.
As a result, the three of them crossed the mountains and mountains, and ran out of a hundred and ten miles in a daze, not knowing how many bays they turned, and finally they didn't know where they were, so they reluctantly got rid of them.
Looking at Xiaoxiao tired and hungry, he was in a bad mood. The old man asked Yun to rest with her, while he went around the neighborhood to see if he could find some water and food. I came back in less than a quarter of an hour, with a strange expression, saying that there is a small village behind the mountain bag, about a dozen families, I don't know if it is convenient to stay.
Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, sneered at him, and said: "You are still a famous place in the rivers and lakes! I was frightened by a few ordinary people! I saw a village in the mountains, and I felt a shadow in my heart! Let's go, this girl will go and see for herself to see who can eat us?"
After that, he pulled up the clouds and took the lead. The old man could only follow helplessly, and kept muttering, ordinary people are in trouble! Our martial arts practitioners kill ordinary people, and it hurts Tianhe and so on.
Over the hill, there is a small village in the col. At this time, it was almost evening, and there was already curling smoke rising, which showed that the villagers were cooking, but the three of them did not notice it due to the direction of the wind.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they were spotted by children playing. The children were not afraid of life, but they were a little curious, and they shouted to attract the adults.
Yun stepped forward to negotiate with them. He said that he had lost his way, and now he was tired and hungry and wanted to spend the night in the village, have a dinner, and took out the scattered silver taels and handed them over. The people in the village were very simple and enthusiastic, and said that they would just eat some coarse tea and light rice, and they wanted some silver!
