We still have to eat and we still have to travel. The mountains and rivers near the thatched cottage are beautiful, the tops of small peaks are covered with sword marks, and there are no weeds growing in the streams. But after all, we have to run all the way south, and good mountains and good waters will eventually come to an end.
The old snake sent Wu Shuang and Yunzhong thirty miles away.
The young man muttered, talking about how delicious the rice porridge was, how clean the mouth was with the side dishes, and how wonderful the snake orchid was. Old Snake Quan pretended not to hear, and fell asleep all the way, sitting in human form on the edge of the carriage, shaking his head as the carriage bumped, and often snatched the young man's riding crop and waved it vigorously, as if in revenge for the seemingly honest horse that disturbed his Running pheasant. Wu Shuangze returned to his sleepy look. As soon as he got into the carriage, he drooped his eyelids and fell asleep in a big posture, with the sound of Hululu Mountain.
Thirty miles is both long and surprisingly short. The carriage creaked and creaked, and within an hour it was almost thirty miles away. Looking far into the distance, one could clearly see a small inn further away. This is the real place where Panshan people live. Not all Panshan people build their own thatched cottages. It’s not because they don’t want to, but because they are powerless. How can it be compared with the strength of the old snake’s body, cutting down and transporting wood, knocking on the foundation, out of thin air? Building a small house in the deep woods would take several months with ordinary manpower. Moreover, people in Panshan changed frequently. Usually, two people would change jobs in rotation, and one person would spend six months alternately throughout the year. Therefore, no one wants to spend too much energy to change the surrounding environment. It is best to have a place to escape the cold and heat.
"Listen to your master and you will go away." After spending time together day and night, Zhu Yeqing became accustomed to Yun Zhong's idle behavior. Instead, he felt at ease and had no worries when getting along with him. The old snake raised his palm and rubbed the young man's head for a moment, then got up and got out of the car, bowed to Wu Shuang who was sleeping soundly, and then his face changed into that of a handsome young man, wearing gold and jade, he looked very dashing. There are two jade pendants pinned to the waist. The water head is azure and swaying.
"The old man has turned into a fairy-like face. It seems that he is going out to harm the girl." The young man never gave up his mellow character and did not hold back at all because of the imminent parting. He still joked as usual.
"What do you know at such a young age? This old man looked like this when he was young. He had red lips and white teeth. Not to mention how many little girls flirted with each other back then. Unlike you, at this age you are still a young kid who can't touch a girl's palm."
In the carriage, Wu Shuang was extremely bored and thought to herself: Wasn’t society a good-looking person when he was young? I think back then, our portraits were all filled with nobles in the palace asking for money. When have I ever seen myself bragging? He snorted coldly, turned over, pressed his fat face against the edge of the car window, and fell asleep again.
"gone."
The green bamboo leaves waved their hands and turned into a stream of emerald green cloud light heading towards the southeast.
The young man grinned and drove the carriage towards the south. The carriage faces south, and the cloud light faces east, like a human-shaped character. It feels so good to stretch your legs and stretch your shoulders.
The days flew by so fast. It was early April when I first encountered the green bamboo leaves. I went to the mountain to practice swordsmanship in Lihuazhai. Before I knew it, it was approaching June. The climate in the mountains was always faster than in other areas. The heat was rising slightly, and the heavy rains in the past were pouring down. , flowers and plants, old trees and new buds are spreading, and you are wearing dark green clothes. As the saying goes, spring will always come again with a thousand colors, but it is really inappropriate. The mountains are full of flowers and trees with big leaves. In fact, it is the most enthusiastic in this June season. As far as the eyes can see, the flowers are gradually blooming. Eye-catching, there are thousands of colors on both sides of the dirt road, like the makeup dowry that has been knocked over by a lady's eyebrows and lips. Goose yellow rouge, light crimson and water white, attracting countless bees and butterflies. There is a young man in white in the road, a tall horse, and an old wooden axle. , like a fairy passing through.
"Is Master awake?"
"Your kid is swaying a lot while driving. He feels uncomfortable all over. Will he wake up?"
"Um, master, will you live a long life this year?"
“Cold comes and summer comes for thousands of years.”
""...Master, you are such a braggart, even the bulls are not happy with it. "
"It's been thousands of years since the cold and summer came, what does it have to do with me? My teacher didn't say that he lived for thousands of years."
"The master is a great talent, and the disciple is ashamed of himself."
"It's good, it's good, children can be taught."
The fat shopkeeper stuck his head out of the car window, greedily breathing in the aroma of the surrounding vegetation like a whale sucking water. If you stay in the car window for too long, you will inevitably feel like you are out of time.
"Speaking of which, Master, it's understandable that the snake demon turned into a human form. Why did the clothes also change?"
Wu Shuang sneered, lifted the curtain at the front of the carriage, and pointed at the back of the boy's head, "Aren't those just scales? If he were wearing real clothes and transformed from a human into a snake, it wouldn't be broken into pieces. He would be naked in the deep mountains and old forests. It's mainly waste money." Three words, money, consistent style.
The young man rolled his eyes and burst into laughter for no apparent reason. Wu Shuang in the carriage was not as capable as him, so he was startled. He thought to himself that maybe this kid was eating medicinal soup made from snake orchid grass every day, which was too nourishing and caused him to get angry. Are you possessed?
Finally stopping his laughter, the young man turned his head with a mean expression, slowed down the carriage, and said mysteriously, "Master, I just saw that the old man had two oval jade pendants hanging on his waist, green and green. You say this is?"
Before he could finish speaking, wind blew up from the back of the young man's head, and Wu Shuang's slap hit the back of his head hard. You must know that the back of the head is not as good as the forehead. Iron Tou Kung is often practiced in the world, but I have never heard of anyone practicing it with nothing to do. The reason for the pain on the back of the head was that it was too fragile, not to mention the blue bricks and nails. Even a gentle blow would take a long time to relieve the pain. Wu Shuang's slap was a coincidence, and the boy was stunned for a long time. , silently and resentfully.
The dizzy feeling subsided a little, and the boy came back to his senses. He fumbled around and found a bulging object under his buttocks. Feeling a little strange, he pulled it out and opened the rope around the knot of the package. Surprisingly, it was dozens of watery green snake orchid plants. , looking at more than half of them even covered with crystal water drops, the young man suddenly remembered the old snake's rickety back in the previous heavy rain.
After walking for more than ten miles, the young man in white said hesitantly, as if he was talking to himself.
"Master, we have been eating and drinking for free for a long time. Before I left, my old man gave me this big bag of rare herbs. Don't we express our gratitude?"
"The value of the great fortune I gave him cannot be measured by snake orchid grass. It makes my body ache." The young man's ears hurt, "Do you think your teacher is stingy?"
"hold head high."
"Looking for a fight."
The empty mountains are covered with new forests, the clouds are gone and the rain is falling, and the flowers are blooming.
ps. I had a fever for two days in a row and my nasopharynx was inflamed. I asked for leave to lie down at home. Alas.
Quit smoking for a day!
