The climate in the mountains is much lower than that in the city. In mid-March, peach blossoms and pear blossoms have already bloomed in the city, but the mountains are still cold and windy.

Outside the house is a small yard surrounded by fences. Under the leadership of the hen, a few chicks are sipping millet. Occasionally, a few caterpillars will be found in the field, and they babble without even a response. .

On the left side of the yard is a stone mill with some remaining raw corn kernels on it.On the right are two large water tanks, covered with boards, and a huge stone was pressed on one board, exuding the smell of pickled vegetables.There was nothing on the other board. When I opened the lid, I saw that it was a water tank, and there was not much water left in it.

It is simply the epitome of a paradise.

The owner of this house was sitting in the middle of the courtyard sharpening his ax when two yellow snakes swam to him and stopped, and he also stopped sharpening his ax, stood up with the ax and turned to us.

Zou Shengzu stared at the ax and took a step back.I also want to take a step back, but losing is not losing, let alone this big guy is my savior, so there is no reason to be afraid.

"Thank you for saving me and allowing us to stay for one night." I said, "I owe you my life. If you have any demands, just ask. If I can do it, I will never refuse."

Zou Shengzu hastily tugged at me, his eyes full of disapproval.

Life debt is the most thoughtless way of doing it.This shows that if the person who saved you wants to kill you with a word, you can't have another word, so you have to offer your head and hands.

However, I think that a hunter who has nothing to do with the world, lives a life in a primitive paradise, has no grievances with us in the past, and has no enmity with us in the past, and saves us out of kindness. The "civilized man" who schemed against him was moved, and envied his simplicity.

If the Japanese go into the mountains to search again, I will definitely do my best to keep his shelter.

The big man knocked the ax into a whole upright firewood.He was supposed to be chopping wood just now, and he was sharpening his ax halfway through the chopping, and then he caught up with us and came out.

I said again, "Haven't I asked your name, Gao?"

However, he clenched his right fist tightly, as if it was a gesture, and then slammed it hard against his heart. He lowered his head slightly, and his dry, frizzy, straw-like hair slid down to his rough cheeks. A hoarse voice: "Peng Darui."

After speaking, he lowered his fist and raised his head.

Embarrassed laughing twice, it's not a big deal to stick to it, and hurriedly said: "Are you chopping firewood? Shall we help you?"

Zou Shengzu coughed lightly, and said, "Look, there's no water in the jar. Where can I get water? I'll go get it."

The big guy Peng shook his head, his tangles of hair dangling like ropes: "No need." Then he kicked the smaller yellow snake by his feet, "He's apologizing to you. He bit you."

There is an illusion of entering the mythical world by mistake.The animals here have all become fine. Not only can they understand people's words, but they can even apologize? !

"No, it's okay..." After a stutter, the little yellow snake straightened up, coiled up on my lap docilely, and then immediately climbed down again.

Zou Shengzu looked at the sky and said, "Where is this? I didn't expect there to be hermits in the mountains."

The big man glanced at him, shook his head, and said nothing.

"I don't know?" Zou Shengzu and I looked at each other and thought about it, "We accidentally disturbed the seniors in the cemetery, I hope you will forgive me."

The big guy said, "No problem."

After finishing talking, ignore us, sit down and continue sharpening the axe.The two snakes swam around us, looking a little cute.

I must be crazy.

Taking a sneak peek, he also moved two small benches and sat down, one with Zou Shengzu, sitting on both sides of the big man, stretched out his hand to help him arrange the chopped firewood, and chatted: "How long have you been here?"

"do not know."

"do not know?"

"I've been here all the time."

Zou Shengzu couldn't believe it: "You alone?"

He shook his head: "There is Xian'en. Xian'en passed away the year before last."

"Xen?" I said, "What is Xian?"

He stopped what he was doing, thought about it, and explained, "It's similar to Master. Our name is Xian'en."

Zou Shengzu and I looked at each other with our backs turned, and we both saw the word "absurd" in each other's eyes.

"Us?" Zou Shengzu grasped the opening, "Is there anyone else here?"

"No," Peng Darui said, "but I will be Xianen."

Although I still don't quite understand what Xian'en means, but at least I understand what he means, that he will become another person's Xian'en, or in other words──Master?

I also wanted to ask how he escaped the search, but he got up suddenly, went into the house without saying a word, took the bow and arrows and two packs of classified herbs, and said to us after coming out: "Send you out of the mountain."

Zou Shengzu opened his mouth, then closed it again.Although I am a little unwilling, I know the truth of step by step.What's more, the order to chase away guests at this time is obviously because we think we talk too much.

Two snakes also followed us.On the way out of the mountain, the big guy even grabbed a live rabbit and threw it to the big snake.The little yellow snake next to him watched helplessly as the rabbit was swallowed into his companion's belly, vomited, and was extremely pitiful.

I asked Peng Darui: "I saved you yesterday, but there is no repayment. Can you come to visit me someday?"

He tilted his head, his small eyes showed thought, Fang said: "No need to report."

Zou Shengzu and I, who were used to his way of speaking, didn't take this sentence to heart. Turning around a winding and rugged uphill road, he stopped going. He just turned around and handed the two packs of herbs to Zou Shengzu, pointing to One of them said concisely: "Drink." Then he pointed to the other one, "Tu."

Zou Shengzu nodded solemnly, and was about to say goodbye to him, but in a blink of an eye the big man turned around and left without saying a word.

It was only when his figure disappeared under the shade of trees that he came back to his senses.

Zou Shengzu smiled bitterly and said, "He regards me as your attendant."

"No," frowning, "he's more chewy than we thought."

Zou Shengzu agreed, then looked at my fingers and said, "This medicine is really good, it doesn't swell any more."

As soon as he reminded him, he found that the bite wound had subsided, and within a few days it would be healed.

"Hey," suddenly remembered something, poked Zou Shengzu and said, "Did you see who is buried in that cemetery? What is written on the tombstone?"

He stared at him: "At that time, I couldn't do anything to save you. How could I have the time to read what is written on the tombstone?!"

I gave a "tsk", feeling a little regretful, and suggested, "Why don't we go and have a look?"

Boss Zou looked at me like a lunatic: "You sleep too much and can't move, don't you feel uncomfortable? The scar is not healed and you forget the pain! Are you going to be poisoned again?"

I wanted to retort that Xiao Huang who bit me knew me and would not bite me again, but thinking that there were not only Rhubarb and Xiao Huang in the mountains, and that he might be bitten by him, I swallowed this rebuttal.

Boss Zou snorted coldly, and took a step forward with a flick of his sleeve.I followed suit, with a bitter face, and took his lessons to heart.

Although there is a feeling of a big brother teaching a little brother, but this feeling is not too bad.

It was almost noon when we returned to Tanglin.After eating a meal nearby, I went to Boss Zou's house to change into new clothes with the cheek. The next step was to study the method of brewing and applying the two packs of medicine.

After dinner, he took Boss Zou's car and went home.He took a detour, and after seeing him off, I had to turn around and go to the silk room to inspect.

I got out of the car and watched him go, then walked home, but when I turned my head, I saw Liu Guoqing standing under a budding peach tree beside the road.

His face was expressionless, his eyes clouded like those of a snake.

I was taken aback for a moment, and then unstoppably cheered from the bottom of my heart.

He always misses me.

I turned around, walked towards him, stopped in front of him, looked at his face carefully, and saw that he was not going to speak, so I tilted my head in the direction of my house and said, "Come in."

"No," he said.

I was taken aback for another moment, and said a little uncertainly, "You, didn't you come to look for me?"

He pursed his lips, as if he was grinding his teeth, then he turned his head and walked away in a fit of anger!

Although I didn't understand his thoughts, I gritted my teeth and went straight to catch up with him without looking back at the situation at home.
