Qi Wuhuo listened with rapt attention. After hearing the words, he subconsciously moved forward and walked a few more steps, avoiding the rocks. The full moon hung high in the sky, and the moonlight flowed down like water. His vision suddenly widened. , the person reciting the poem has come into view.
Under the full moon, on the bluestone, an old man wearing a purple robe sits cross-legged on it. He has white hair and white beard, but he is in good spirits. There is a gourd hanging on his waist, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he is stretching out his hand. Call him over.
As winter night approached, I met an old man again in the mountains.
It might be a passerby who lost his way, but it might also be a demon incarnation. Qi Wuhuo pursed his lips, holding the place where he was carrying the basket with his left hand, and pressed his right hand down on his waist. There was a small dagger there, sharpened. Gotta be sharp.
It is impossible for a young person to be able to avoid being bullied by the gangsters in the town just by relying on the knowledge in books.
He took a few steps forward and said, "It's already getting late. Winter is about to come. It's especially cold in the mountains. It's almost freezing to death during the ugly season. Why are you still here?"
Naturally, the young man's movements couldn't be concealed from the many [Xue Xianren] around him. ].
The many birds, beasts, spirits and monsters hiding around were almost terrified when they saw this. The old man in front of him must have some status and supernatural powers. He came here to set up a mysterious spell, which attracted many spirits to preach. Although the spirits said I don't know their identity, but they are all very respectful.
I don't know how this young man broke in and was so brave.
Next to them, a big tiger with a white forehead and its paws covered its mouth, and its eyes were as wide as a big cat in the world. They were all calmed down. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Is this young child not afraid of anything? !
The old man didn't think anything of it. He just stroked his beard slightly, pointed to his legs with a smile, and said,
"I live in the west of the capital. I came here to visit relatives and friends. I saw that the scenery of this mountain is very good. I went up to enjoy it. Unknowingly, I missed the time. When I was in a hurry to go down the mountain, I stepped on the wrong foot and fell my leg. "
"With no one in front of me and no road behind me, I can only sit here for a while, make some noise, and hope." There are still woodcutter mountaineers who haven't come down from the mountain. I can help him. "
" Otherwise, if the mountain is blocked by heavy snow today, I'm afraid I will die on this mountain and be eaten by wild beasts. "
This is a joke. All the monsters on the mountain shuddered several times. Qi Wuhuo took a look and saw that under the moonlight, the old man's legs and feet looked strange. He put down some vigilance and stepped forward to check the wound. There were indeed signs of flesh and blood. Feeling is undoubtedly a human being.
Seeing that it was an old man again, he hesitated most of the time. He immediately knelt down slightly and asked the old man to stretch out his injured leg, press it a little and check it. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's okay. No muscles or bones were hurt. Apply some dressing to the wound." He will be able to recover after taking medicine for about a month."
He first set the old man's bones, and then took out some dry food and water in a bamboo tube for the old man to drink. The old man smiled and said, "Do you know any medical skills, little brother?"
Qi Wuhuo helped with the cloth. Tiao trapped his injured leg and said without raising his head:
"Five years ago when I was escaping from the catastrophe, I traveled with a gentleman for a while. He taught me something."
The old man looked slightly strange and said, "That can be regarded as your teacher.
"Where is he now?" Qi
Wuhuo paused and replied:
"I accidentally fell into the demon country when I was passing by Yizhou. There were hundreds of thousands of displaced people, and the demons were doing [vegetable market] on the roadside. In the business, people are used as food. It takes one hundred catties of vegetables and meat to pass through the demon kingdom. He walked to the vegetable market and came out in my place. ""
He said: "Young people live."
The old man's face became more and more ashamed, and he suddenly felt his legs and feet. As soon as it was tight, Qi Wuhuo tied up his injured leg with force, and then the young man breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and smiled: "In this case, my father-in-law's leg will be fine, but it's already getting late, it's I'm afraid there will be heavy snow in the next few days. "
"It's extremely cold in the mountains when the snow melts. Even the blind bear will find a place to get up and fall asleep. If I don't mind,
why don't you go to my house for a while and wait until you are healed before talking about anything else? Carry the old man to the town at the foot of the mountain. Although the town is remote, there is an inn where the old man can stay leisurely. "
The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I feel very close to you, old man."
"If you don't think I'm disturbing you, old man. I really want to spend more time with you."
So Qi Wuhuo tied the backpack with a rope, hung it around his neck, placed it in front of him, squatted down slightly, and let the old man lie on his back. , and then stood up.
He often went to and fro in the mountains and forests, cutting firewood and paying wages. He was actually in good health. He was carrying an old man on his back, which was nothing, but his steps were still flying.
The night fog from before was still thick, and now Qi Wuhuo could see it.
The old man lowered his eyes slightly, intending to test his character, so he did not let this layer of fog dissipate, but became deeper and deeper, making the mountain road seem steep, and his own weight gradually increased.
When Qi Wuhuo took ten steps, he was still just like an ordinary old man.
After taking twenty steps, he already has the weight of a thirty-year-old man.
After more than a hundred steps, it was almost like carrying a stone statue on his back, just close to the upper limit of Qi Wuzhuo's strength. He was extremely tired but able to hold on. Qi Wuzhuo's steps gradually slowed down, but he never stopped.
The night finally got dark.
Winter is approaching, and the wild beasts in the mountains are going crazy with hunger. They have to save enough fat to survive this severe winter. The sky is blue, the trees are silhouetted, and the howls of wolves can be heard in the ears, as if they are approaching.
If they were ordinary people, most of them would already have tremors in their liver and gallbladder.
Qi Wuhuo's breathing was a little messy, but his steps were still steady. Only his right hand went down to hold the dagger at his waist. In addition, the young man's sweat-soaked clothes and the heat on his neck proved that he was indeed It's really a huge loss of physical strength.
The old man nodded slightly approvingly.
Suddenly Qi Wuhuo whispered and said: "Old sir, when I first met you, I held down the dagger and then invited you down the mountain. It was a bit presumptuous. I hope you don't mind it. It was me who smelled a monster, so Worry."
The old man seemed shocked: "Monster?"
Qi Wuhuo said, "Yes."
The old man said, "Can you smell the monster?"
Qi Wuhuo paused and then replied,
"I have seen a lot of monsters. If you do, you can smell it a little bit."
The old man was speechless. Considering the previous demon country and the catastrophe, he could also know that this was definitely not a memory that ordinary people were willing to touch.
Suddenly I felt that it was boring to test my character like this.
Isn't this young man's temperament as clear as the bright moon?
He sighed secretly and simply dispersed the spell.
Qi Wuhuo didn't notice that the old man's weight behind him suddenly weakened.
A mysterious feeling surged into his body, healing the many hidden wounds left by the disaster. Qi Wuzhuo felt that all the meridians in his body were instantly relaxed, Yang Qi was born in the soles of his feet, and the lost physical strength was restored in an instant. , looked up again, the night fog had dispersed, and lights could be faintly seen on the road ahead.
Qi Wuhuo couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said happily:
"Old man, my town has arrived."
After saying this, his footsteps were filled with wind, and he walked down the mountain with the old man on his back.
The moonlight was bright in the sky, and the young man was walking in long strides. Walking on the mountain at night is extremely dangerous, but in a place invisible to the naked eye, there is a group of monsters and monsters protecting them, expelling the monsters and ghosts, silently, like a guard of ceremony, with majestic etiquette, and the spirit The fox holds the candle in front, and the tiger holds its paw behind.
Those hungry wolves and wild beasts did not dare to come over at all, and the wandering ghosts gathered in the mountains did not dare to bully me.
There was a mountain god wandering out at night, carefree and at ease. He saw a group of monsters walking at night from a distance. He was dumbfounded and was so horrified that he stepped back for more than a hundred miles. When he turned around, he was still in the mist-shrouded area. He couldn't see the way he came from, and he couldn't see the way back. , even more heart palpitations, fearing what kind of demons the Great Sage and the True Immortal from the mainland would patrol, and hurriedly burned incense to tell the gods.
Qi Wuhuo walked down the mountain, and the old man looked back.
The night fog that shrouded the mountains and rivers for hundreds of miles suddenly converged. The fog became smaller and smaller, and in the end, it was no more than a piece of purple gauze on a hat.
In addition, the mountains and rivers are clear and the wind is clear and the moon is bright.
that is it.
"Let's go back to my little brother's place."
"You have to take me a thousand and two hundred steps, and we should form a good relationship."
