Li Muchen decided to follow them home.

In a place like Linhuang Town, the one who is most familiar with the surrounding mountains is the old hunter.

The man mooed and shouted, trying to wake up the old cow lying on the ground to drive the cart.

But Lao Niu didn't know whether he was too tired or too old, but he just didn't want to move.

The man took a whip and slapped it on the old cow's back.

The old cow reluctantly knelt down on his front feet, supported himself for a while, and tried to get up, but for some reason, he let out a moo and fell to the ground again.

The man was extremely annoyed and wanted to whip him again.

The little girl suddenly took her father's hand and begged: "Dad, please stop fighting, he is old! Grandpa is old too!"

When the man heard this, his hands softened.

But if the oxen doesn’t move and the oxcart doesn’t move, how can we take the guests home?

He was cruel and raised his whip again.

A strong hand grabbed his wrist.

He turned around and saw Li Muchen's clear eyes.

Li Muchen said: "I'll do it."

"Are you coming?" The man looked at him doubtfully, "You are a miracle doctor and you can also drive cattle?"

Li Muchen smiled, walked over, reached out and stroked the cow's head.

A glimmer of light flashed in Lao Niu's cloudy eyes, staring closely at Li Muchen.

Li Muchen gently patted the cow on the back. The cow suddenly gained strength, mooed, and jumped up as if it were ten years younger.

The Orion couple were stunned.

The little girl exclaimed "Wow" and looked at Li Muchen with admiration in her eyes and a sweet smile on her face.

"Get in the car." Li Muchen said.

Orion finally recovered and got into the car with his wife and daughter. Li Muchen also jumped into the car and sat next to the little girl.

The old cow walked on the road into the mountain with light steps, even a little cheerful.

The little girl hummed a folk song happily.

As the sun sets in the west, the sound of cow hooves and the singing of girls float lightly in the twilight of the mountains and fields.

……

Through conversations along the way, Li Muchen learned that the Orion family's surname was Lan, his name was Lan Bazi, and his father's name was Lan Yanshan. He was once a famous Orion in Linhuang Town, and everyone called him Father Yanshan.

Lan Bazi's wife has no name. She takes her husband's surname and is called Aunt Lan.

Their daughter has a good name, Lantian.

Li Muchen remembered the poem: The sun in Lantian is warm and the jade is making smoke...

Lantian is a place where jade is produced, and this little girl was born like jade, which is different from ordinary children from mountain families.

Lao Niu pulled the cart and soon arrived at the village where Lan Bazi's family was located.

This village is very small, with a few families, located in a winding mountain.

Lan Bazi unloaded the cart from the cow and led the cow toward his yard.

It was not yet dark at this time, and Lan Bazi said that the cow was walking very fast today, and if it was like usual, he would probably have to walk in the dark at night.

Lan Bazi went to tie up the cows and feed fodder, and Aunt Lan took Li Muchen into the house.

The house was very simple and shabby, with an Eight Immortals table, a few benches, and a few households being all the furniture.

Facing the farm tools in the corner, the walls are covered with animal skins, as well as bows, knives and muskets used by hunters.

Aunt Lan made tea for him, then asked Lan Tian to accompany him, and went to the kitchen to work on dinner.

After Lan Bazi tied the cow, he shouted "Dad, Daddy" and went to find his father.

The hospitality of the mountain people is so simple. There are no polite words, and there is no etiquette for accompanying people up and down.

While drinking the slightly astringent tea and looking at the simple house, Li Muchen felt very friendly.

He remembered his childhood days.

Lan Bazi walked home with an old man, talking excitedly as he walked.

The old man puffed away at the welding smoke, exhaled puff after puff of white mist, and said, "It's just a snake bite, what's the fuss?"

As soon as I entered the yard, I suddenly saw my old cow. I was surprised and said: "Hey, how can you be more energetic than me, that old beast?"

Go to the cow and touch its head.

The cow mooed, came over, looked very affectionate, and even spread its hooves happily.

The old man looked back at Lan Bazi: "What's going on?"

Lan Bazi said: "It was Dr. Li who saved Tiantian. The cow was dying and couldn't get up. He just touched the cow like that, and the cow started to kick around happily!"

A smile appeared on the old man's face and he cursed: "I never thought that the old beast Ge could still be young. It seems that we still don't know who will die first!"

Then he looked in the direction of the room, "It seems that I have really met a god! I thought that meeting a god once in the wilderness was a big deal, but I never thought that I could meet a god twice in this life!" "

After saying that, he knocked out the cigarette rod, straightened himself, and said to Lan Bazi: "Let's go and meet the guests!"

Li Muchen saw Lan Bazi coming in accompanied by an old man.

The old man was a bit hunched, holding a welding pipe in his hand and a pipe in his waist, and walked tremblingly.

His face was wrinkled, like a dry, cracked field that had been barren for a long time. The cloudy eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, but the eyes revealed were so clear that they seemed to be able to penetrate the autumn fog of November morning.

This reminded Li Muchen of his grandfather.

On that snowy day, Grandpa rested his head on his young arms.

Li Muchen will always remember that face, with such cracked wrinkles and such cloudy eyes, but the eyes were so bright.

"Dad!" Li Muchen greeted, and he even got a little emotional because he thought of his grandfather, "I'm sorry to bother you, old man!"

"Don't disturb! Don't disturb!" Father Yanshan said in panic, "You saved my granddaughter's life! I can't even invite a god like you to come! Sit down, sit down and drink tea!"

Father Yanshan sat down with Li Muchen.

Lan Bazi was standing next to his father. It was obvious that he respected his father very much.

"I heard that you are looking for Yinshan?"

"Yes, dad, do you know where Yinshan is?"

Father Yanshan stood up and entered the house. Not long after, he came out tremblingly again, holding a wooden box in his hand.

As soon as Lan Bazi saw the wooden box, his eyes lit up.

Father Yanshan opened the box, took out a folded sheepskin, and spread it on the open table.

There were pictures drawn on the sheepskin.

"This is a map of Lin Huang," said Yanshan's father. "It was created step by step by generations of old hunters."

Li Muchen looked at it and saw that the drawing was very sloppy and irregular, but it was easy to understand.

Mountain after mountain, river after river, where you can walk in between and where there are any dangers are all marked.

However, the map only occupies the western one-third of the sheepskin, and the remaining three-thirds is blank.

Father Yanshan pointed to the blank space and said, "That's deep in the wilderness, and no one has ever been there."

Lan Bazi said excitedly: "Dad, if there is such a picture, why don't you give it to me and force me to go hunting in the mountains and have to find the way by myself."

Dad said: "If you have this picture, it will be easier for you to enter the mountain, but it is also very likely that you will not be able to get out. In the wilderness, dangers are everywhere. Life is better now than before. You don't have to work so hard, and you can't get out." I can survive. I hid the picture for your own good."

Lan Bazi didn't quite understand, but Li Muchen understood the old man's painstaking efforts.

Father Yanshan said to Li Muchen: "My eyes are blurry and I can't see the words on the picture clearly. Look for it yourself. There should be two Yinshan Mountains."

Li Muchen searched on the map and found two mountains with the words Yinshan written next to them.

One of them is in the southeast, relatively close, and the other is in the southwest, almost close to the large blank area on the map.
