"good."
Qi Dong nodded when he heard this. Naturally, he would not go back and do anything that would endanger humanity. He didn't have any ambitions. If others didn't tell him, he would have wanted to become a social phobia and an otaku. Day lies at home.
Of course, the premise of this home is that there must be a petition.
Otherwise, Wenrou Village would turn into an ice cellar, and lying in it would be boring.
Seeing Qi Dong's response, the old man nodded with satisfaction, waved to the former, and said, "Come with me."
Was this a test just now?
Qi Dong smiled bitterly and shook his head. The zombie just now should be nothing to this old man. The other party had not made any move, so it should be regarded as a test for him. Otherwise, he would not have suddenly jumped up after he killed the other party. Come out and teach yourself something.
Thinking of this, Qi Dong simply followed the old man and continued walking into the mountains.
Life and death ahead are unknown, and I will move forward without hesitation.
This is Qi Dong's current mentality.
Qi Dong followed the old man for a long time, so long that even Qi Dong's strengthened body could no longer bear it. After feeling like it was going to be scrapped, the old man finally stopped.
Qi Dong panted and looked at the old man in front of him who had no red face and no beating heart. He couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart. You know, this old man didn't stop. At the same time, he also strengthened his thoughts in his heart - this old man Probably not personally.
"Young man, my body at such a young age is not good enough."
Hearing what the old man said, Qi Dong's face suddenly turned red. However, since he was begging for help now, he didn't fight back. Anyway, these words would neither hurt nor itch, nor would he lose a piece of flesh.
"This is my home." The old man pointed to a bamboo house not far away and smiled at Qi Dong.
Qi Dong's eyes couldn't help but light up when he saw this. He didn't expect that there was such a paradise in this deep mountain and old forest.
"Okay, old man."
"That's right, don't even look at who lives here." The old man seemed to like Qi Dong's admiring attitude, and grinned: "Nowadays, very few young people are willing to stay in such a place. The pace of life is fast, and they are all taking root in the city, but they have forgotten that the place left by their ancestors is the real place to raise people."
What the old man said made sense. Qi Dong did not refute the other party. He nodded and said with a smile: "The uncle is right, but don't forget that many people do not go to the city voluntarily to gather together. There are also many people who It’s just that I am forced to go to the city to fight for a living.”
"What you said is wrong." The old man shook his head when he heard this, and then smiled: "The so-called for life is just a yoke you put on yourself. It is your choice to live your life. You choose neon lights. It’s up to you whether you are surrounded by busy traffic or whether you are picking chrysanthemums and enjoying the leisurely life of Nanshan Mountain under the eastern fence.”
With that said, the old man quickly turned around and thought about walking into the bamboo house without waiting for Qi Dong to speak.
"Boy, you haven't experienced much yet. You may not be able to accept what I'm telling you now, but when you get to my age, when you look back and think about it, what I said will have another meaning. It tastes good.”
"Okay, come in first."
After hearing what the old man said, Qi Dong realized that the old man had walked to the bamboo house at some point.
Quickly following behind, Qi Dong followed the old man and entered this simple bamboo house for the first time.
The furnishings in the bamboo house are very simple.
A single bed and a tea table are both made of bamboo, and there is a tea set on the tea table. It should have been brought back by the old man when he went out, because it looks similar to the one at his house. On the tea table, tea was simmering, and the aroma of tea spread into Qi Dong's nose, lifting his spirits.
“Good tea!”
Qi Dong's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but praise.
"Hey, I didn't expect you to be very knowledgeable." The old man was very satisfied with Qi Dong's expression and said with a smile: "This tea is the new tea I picked this year, come and try it."
With that said, the old man quickly walked to the tea table and poured a cup for Qi Dong.
"Thank you." Qi Dong was not polite. Anyway, the old man would not harm him, and there was no need for him to keep coy.
Besides, if the old man really wanted to harm him, he didn't have to go to such trouble. With his hand, he could directly bury himself in the mountain without any effort at all.
After taking a brief sip, Qi Dong's eyes suddenly lit up.
It’s really good tea! I didn't expect that this old guy could enjoy himself quite a lot. He was living so comfortably in a shabby room, which was indeed better than most people.
This made Qi Dong couldn't help but think of a classical Chinese article he was given when he was in junior high school - the inscription on a humble house.
This is a humble house, but I am virtuous.
Well, there is a saying that seems to come from this.
"Okay, stop thinking nonsense, kid. This tea isn't very good either. I just picked it up from the mountain next door."
"." Qi Dong was about to praise the old man, but he didn't expect the other party to tell the truth directly.
"Just tell me briefly."
"What did you say?" Qi Dong was stunned when he heard the words. The old man's thinking was jumping too fast. A second ago, he was talking about tea here, and now he suddenly said such a sentence, which made him a little confused. mind.
"Introduce yourself." The old man rolled his eyes when he heard this and said, "I don't even know your name, but you want to learn from me. Isn't it a bit rude?"
Hearing this, Qi Dong slapped his head and quickly said with some embarrassment: "Look, I have even forgotten about this."
After saying that, Qi Dong told the old man in front of him about his general situation. Originally, Qi Dong wanted to leave some backup for himself. After all, he was not very familiar with the old man in front of him, so he could use one hand to point out. Wrong, but then I thought about it. In the face of absolute strength, my little tricks were really useless, so I just told them all.
"Do you need me to help you get rid of that ghost in your body?" The old man looked at Qi Dong's chest, and then said quietly.
"Ghost? What ghost?" Qi Dong didn't react at first. He even forgot that he had Liu Nian's soul in his body. However, what puzzled Qi Dong was that he clearly didn't tell the other party anything. Why did the other party You can still see traces of Liu Nian's existence from your chest. Could this be the master?
"It's the girl in your body." The old man didn't wait for Qi Dong to react, and directly stretched out his hand to poke the latter's heart.
"No, no need." Qi Dong quickly waved his hand and rejected the old man's kindness. Although Liu Nian was a ghost, he still helped him a lot. This guy is now in a weak stage and has been unable to wake up. It's not Qi Dong's style to take advantage of the opponent's weakness and kill him directly.
"Well, but I can tell you that if you stay with ghosts all year round, your yang energy will be sucked away by the ghosts. When your yang energy is exhausted, that is when your yang life is exhausted. In other words , which means life is about to end."
"I understand." Qi Dong nodded, but still denied the other party's kindness.
"I thank the old man first, but this ghost is my friend, and I don't intend to abandon him."
"Friend?" The old man glanced at Qi Dong, but then burst into laughter.
"What a friend, good, very good, affectionate and righteous, a bit manly." As he said, the old man pointed to the door behind him and said to Qi Dong: "Qi Dong, behind this door, There is a woodcutter, that is the first gift I give you."
"Huh?" Qi Dong was stunned again when he heard this. To put it bluntly, he was still thinking about what benefits Liu Nian could bring to him. Unexpectedly, the old man changed the topic again.
"I'll go take a look." Qi Dong stood up and walked quickly behind the wooden door, but when he saw the rusty woodcutter that was about to break, he was stunned.
What kind of gift is this?
If a woodcutter with a rusty blade that was almost rotten could be considered a gift, wouldn't the lighter he carried in his pocket become a nuclear weapon?
As if aware of Qi Dong's emotions, the old man stood up unsteadily, took a look at the knife, and said helplessly: "It seems that it has not been used for many years, so it is rusty, but It’s okay, I’ll just take some time to sharpen it later.”
Qi Dong originally planned to refuse, but it can be seen that the old man said it for this reason. If he refused, wouldn't he be losing face to the other party, and he would be a little ignorant.
"All right."
Qi Dong nodded when he heard this, but he did not want to continue to struggle with this issue and quickly changed the subject: "Old man, you said you wanted to call me to teach me something. If this refers to survival skills in the apocalypse, That scope is a bit too broad, I don’t have much time, and I have to go to W City as soon as possible.”
"What? You said you won't stay long?" The old man snorted coldly, but then he sighed and said: "Kung fu or fighting skills cannot be learned overnight. In other words, if you want to If you want to learn it quickly, I really can’t teach you here.”
"."
Why is this old man so unreliable?
"Then what can you teach me?" Although Qi Dong really wanted to learn some real skills, instead of relying on his strengthened body to fight for injuries.
"Hmm..." After hearing this, the old man fell into deep thought, but after a moment he seemed to have thought of something again and said: "You can learn some fighting skills from me. In a week, saving your life shouldn't be a problem."
Hearing this, Qi Dong's eyes lit up. If it can save his life, then it is enough. At worst, he can just practice more when he is on the road.
Thinking of this, Qi Dong quickly said to the old man: "Okay, let's learn some basics!"
