In the following time, the old man warmly entertained us. He not only killed a chicken, but also took down the bacon hanging on the eaves and gave us wine and food.
Li Qi and I haven't eaten meat for a long time. The old man came out with the cured meat. It was full of color, fragrance and flavor. We were like a hungry wolf reincarnated. We immediately devoured it.
At the end of a meal, the long-standing fatigue suddenly swept through my whole body. Li Qi and I crowded into the same room under the arrangement of the old man.
"My room is small, you two young people, don't mind." Said the old man.
I arched my hand. Li Xian responded, "it's good to have a bed to sleep. Thank you, master."
Li Qi quickly followed me to thank the old man. Then he threw himself on the bed and snored in less than 30 seconds.
However, I was tired all over, and no amount of snoring could stop me from feeling sleepy. As soon as the old man closed the door, I quickly lay down on the bed, closed my eyes and went to sleep. My whole body was extremely comfortable.
Five in the morning.
Damned Li Qi, it's just snoring when she sleeps. She even touches people around. I'm scared to wake up.
I rubbed my temples and stood by the bed, staring at Li Qi, who was asleep. I said angrily, "Damn, this product is poisonous!"
In desperation, I had to go out of the room and come to the courtyard outside the stone house. I twisted my body a few times to breathe the fresh air in the mountains.
The sky is still gray, and the bamboo forest in front of it hinders the invasion of wild animals. Under the mountain wind, it swings slightly, rustles and makes a comfortable sound.
There is a bamboo forest in front of the stone house, with its back on the mountain. It is like a paradise. Even the old man's "pet" falls into a deep sleep.
I lit a straw smoke from the old man, and the strong breath poured into my throat and directly into my lungs. I breathed out leisurely and murmured: "no wonder this elder is unwilling to contact with the outside world. It's really a very enjoyable life here. I just don't know when I will be like him."
All of a sudden, a laugh came from behind.
Suddenly, looking back, the old man appeared in the door of the house and came slowly towards me.
Standing side by side, the old man gazed forward, lit a straw smoke for himself, and asked, "how? Do you want to be like me? "
"Yes, I don't know when I can be the same as my predecessors." I can't help sighing.
The old man smoked several mouthfuls of grass smoke for a long time without any words, showing an unprecedented look of recollection.
Until the grass smoke burned out, the old man stamped out with his feet and asked, "although I don't know what happened, is your father OK?"
I had expected that. I was not surprised when the old man asked.
So, I nodded a little and said, "it's OK. Just like my predecessors, I don't fight for fame and wealth, and I'm willing to be an ordinary person."
"It's not like his character. People like him are destined to make waves, but how can they retreat?" The old man's pupils contracted. He was very surprised.
I shook my head, "I don't know, but I dare to ask you, what kind of person do you think my father is?"
"None of the ten thousand." The old man suddenly raised his mouth and gave a few meaningful dry smiles.
I turned over, arched up my hand, and Li Xian said, "please give me some advice. In fact, I'm not very clear about my father."
"Since he didn't tell you, it must have been intentional, so what's the point of me telling you? If you want to know, then go to know for yourself. Some things need strength to know. Now you are too weak. "
As the old man said, he slowly raised his hand and pointed in one direction. "Start from here, walk around the edge of the bamboo forest, and keep going southeast. Within three days, you can walk out of the mountains after crossing several mountains. There's only so much I can tell you."
If I continue to ask, there will be no result. I simply thank the old man and go back to the stone house to wake up Li Qi.
Li Qi obviously didn't get enough sleep. I was very upset when I called her early in the morning and complained, "what are you doing? It's still early. Go to sleep a little longer. "
I raised my hand to knock on Li Qi's forehead and scolded, "sleep, do you still want to go? If you don't want to go, just stay here. I'll go first! "
"Well, I'll just get up. What's the hurry? Why don't you have breakfast before you leave Li Qi got up decisively, dressed in a rustle, and thought about other people's bacon and chicken.
I couldn't help twitching and glared at Li Qi, "eat, eat, drink, sleep, what else can you do? It's good that people are willing to entertain us for one night. Do you want to trouble them? "
However, after breakfast, the old man stood under the eaves, led the tiger and watched us leave...
after walking around the bamboo forest for most of the day, he turned over several mountains in three days. As the old man said, it was not far from the edge of the mountains. If it was a shortcut, he could even see the outline of small towns.
Walking out of the mountains and stepping on a dusty country road, the townspeople passing by on motorcycles look at us like nerves."Damn, it's a ragged dress, just like a beggar on the roadside." Li Qi felt very ashamed, as if he had no face to see people.
I told him, "we should respect the wishes of the elder. He doesn't want to have contact with the outside world, and we should not tell others."
"Damn, you think I'm stupid?" Li Qi gave me a white look.
I clapped my forehead speechless and went to the town immediately, thinking Li Qi, you are stupid...
when I entered the town, there was dust everywhere, and many townspeople rode motorcycles back and forth.
As for Li Qi and I, our clothes are in a state of disrepair and look like crazy. I quickly went to a rural clothing store and took Li Qi to change clothes.
As a result, Li Qi was not satisfied with the goods. He was reluctant and complained, "what kind of clothes are these? Thirty yuan a piece? Is this a dress? Laozi's foot wiping cloth is worth more than this! "
Hearing this, the landlady's face changed.
I was not happy at that time, and immediately scolded: "what are you shouting about? If you don't wear it, you'll take it off, and you'll call it a hair. Thirty yuan is not a dress? Why don't you go to heaven? "
"I'll tell you, why are you so serious?" Li Qi was scolded by me for being silly, and she didn't dare not wear it. Her face turned blue and red, as if she was ashamed.
I secretly made a gesture to the landlady, pointing to her own head, suggesting that Li Qi's head is wrong, so that the landlady would not mind.
When I paid the bill, I gave more money. Unexpectedly, the landlady was very simple and didn't want any extra money.
So I gave it to the landlady and said, "landlady, if you have more, just take it. Do you have a phone here? Can you pick me up if you have any? How about these as rewards? "
After thinking for a while, the landlady agreed to come down and take Li Qi and I to the deep of the store.
Until I came to a shabby landline, the landlady stopped and said, "we don't have good communication here. Few people have mobile phones. They all use landlines. You can just make do with it. Just come out when you're done."
"Thank you." I said thank you.
"Well, it's not in the way." The landlady believed me so much that she went back to the store and continued to solicit business.
Without saying a word, I picked up the landline and dialed Ning Xing's number for the first time, thinking that I had been missing for so many days, she should be so anxious.
Li Qi seems to know that I'm calling Ningxing number, but he snatches the phone right away and refuses to let me take it back. I can't even snatch it.
He also said, "I'll go first! I also want to call Ning Xing. Just wait! This time I must tell Ning Xing how shameless you are
