Lin Zidai and Lu Chun were walking one after another along the stream towards the downstream. After about half an hour, they heard a tinkling sound coming from the distance.
The two looked from a distance and saw a simple house in front of them, and outside the house there was a shirtless man chopping firewood in the yard.
This man's hair and beard are thick and black, completely hiding his true appearance. It is difficult to tell how old he is. However, this man's figure is extremely strong, and he must be in his prime.
Although his naked skin had turned red from the cold, the man seemed not to notice it. White air was exuding all over his body, and he was making rhythmic shouting sounds as he chopped firewood.
"Brother Lu is really a god. There really is a family here!" Lin Zidai couldn't help but admired when he saw the situation in front of him.
"This... is purely a fluke. Let's hurry up and inquire about important things!" Lu Chun was praised again, but still felt a little guilty and hurried to the front of the house.
When the man in the courtyard noticed the person coming from behind, he immediately stopped moving and became alert with his ax in hand. But when he raised his head and saw the person clearly, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's you? Are you still alive? "
Lu Chun was about to ask, but he didn't expect the other person to speak first and say such words again. He also looked confused.
At this time, Lin Zidai also came closer. When he saw the two of them staring at each other, he smiled lightly and said, "Brother Lu, do you know each other?"
The man in the courtyard was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized what he was saying, and hurriedly said hello: "Please come to the house and wait for a while, I will go back." After saying that, the man ran away with the ax in his hand. .
"Hey! Why are you running away? We are not bad people, we just want to ask you a few words! Hello!" By the time Lu Chun reacted, the man had already disappeared on the path.
"Brother Lu, don't panic. This person may have to deal with some important matters. Let's not delay him." Lin Zidai remained calm and unhurried.
"What important thing can happen in this wilderness? If he dares not to come back, I will burn his house down!" Although Lu Chun said so, he still followed Lin Zidai into this room. in the house.
Although this house is simple in appearance, it is small and well-equipped with all kinds of furnishings. Lu Chun and Lin Zidai had been walking for a long time. Now that they finally got a place to rest, he simply pulled up a stool and sat down.
However, he waited and waited but did not see this person coming back. Lu Chun finally lost his patience and stood up with a loud noise: "Zi Zi Lin, you sit here and rest for now. I'll go see what this old guy is doing." !”
But before he could step out of the door, he saw a figure rushing over from a distance: "I'm really sorry for keeping Brother Lu Chun waiting for so long!"
Lu Chun let out a soft sigh, and then hurriedly winked at Lin Zidai beside him, who immediately gave instructions and immediately became alert.
As the saying goes, there must be a monster when things go wrong. Lu Chun doesn't think that his reputation is so big that everyone knows it, so since this person can directly call out his name, it proves that there must be something wrong with him!
"Hahaha, no wonder my eyelids have been twitching so much recently. I didn't expect to see my old friend here again! Brother Lu Chun, where have you been all these years?"
Before the person arrived, the words came first, and when the words ended, a figure carrying several pheasants appeared in front of the door.
At this time, the strong man had already cleaned up his beard. If it weren't for the fact that his clothes were still similar to when he left, the two of them would have thought that the person who came was a different person.
Lu Chun was slightly startled when he saw the face of the person coming, and exclaimed: "Are you...Jia Lihu?"
After the two exchanged a few more words, Lu Chun was completely convinced that the man in front of him was indeed Jia Lihu, who was in Yangdu City before. He looked at Orion Jia up and down, and couldn't help but said: "Old Jia, what magic elixir have you taken? Why do you still look like you are about forty years old after so many years?"
Jia Lihu grinned when he heard this and muttered: "Brother Lu Chun, aren't you talking nonsense? I am young now, shouldn't I be like this?"
"What?" Lu Chun couldn't believe it when he heard this, "But I clearly remember that you were like this back then..."
Jia Orion scratched his head in embarrassment: "Actually, I was not weak at that time, I just looked a little mature..." It turned out that Jia Orion at that time was often called Lao Jia Lao Jia because of his mature appearance, so that later he also Too lazy to explain in terms of age, just let it go.
"Don't just talk about me, brother Lu Chun, where have you been all these years? I heard about your old lady later, and then I realized that I had misunderstandings about brother Lu Chun. I'm really sorry! I originally planned to look for you later. I expressed my apology, but I didn’t expect that since we said goodbye at the inn, you have disappeared from the world, and there is no news about you anymore..." Jia Lihu said and was about to stand up and salute.
"It doesn't matter, since it's an old story, why bother mentioning it again? And I didn't disappear from the world, but I found a good place to go..." Lu Chun smiled bitterly and hurriedly pressed Jia Lihu's body down.
When he heard that Lu Chun had gone to the Yuhu Sect, his eyes suddenly widened, and then he took a serious look at the extraordinary man next to Lu Chun, and his tone suddenly became very nervous: "Could it be that...this is the Yuhu Sect?" The elder?"
When Lin Zidai saw Jia Liehu looking at him, he also laughed and said: "Don't get me wrong, brother, I am just an ordinary handyman disciple of the Yuhu Sect. As for the real elder of the Yuhu Sect... he is right next to you. in front of my eyes."
"Ah?" Jia Lihu's face suddenly brightened when he heard this. He knew that Lu Chun's qualifications were mediocre, and even if he got to the Yuhu Sect, he would only be an ordinary disciple. However, he didn't expect that the former Lu Chun had changed from a sparrow to a phoenix. His expression also became awkward, and he no longer dared to face Lu Chun in the eyes, and his eyes began to dodge.
"Old Jia, don't listen to this guy's nonsense. We are both working in the Yuhu Sect. Otherwise, which elder of the Yuhu Sect have you seen in such a mess?" Lu Chun glared at the man who was snickering at the side. Lin Zidai hurriedly explained.
Jia Lihu nodded doubtfully, but his attitude was much more restrained than before, which gave Lu Chun a headache.
"By the way, Jia Orion, why didn't I see those baby bumps of yours?" Seeing Jia Orion like this, Lu Chun also hurriedly changed the subject.
"You are talking about Dahei and the others, they are already dead..." Jia Lihu frowned upon hearing this and started smoking a dry cigarette.
White smoke surrounded Jia Orion, and for a moment he couldn't even see his expression. It's just that the smell of dry tobacco is very pungent, just smelling it will make you cry.
When Lu Chun heard this, he wished he could give himself a slap in the face. He just changed the topic without thinking about it. The lifespan of these beasts is no longer than that of humans. How can they survive after so many years?
"Old Jia, life, old age, illness and death are normal. Don't be too sad..." Lu Chun knew that Lao Jia cherished these hounds very much, so he also comforted them.
Hearing this, Jia Lihu took another deep breath of cigarette. Perhaps he smoked too hard this time, and he choked and coughed uncontrollably. After all, the taste of dry tobacco was too spicy, so spicy that Jia Orion finally shed tears.
"I have never mentioned this matter to anyone. Now that Brother Lu Chun has asked, I really don't dare to hide it. Dahei and the others are not dying of old age, but being framed!" Jia Lianhu gritted his teeth, every time he thought of this Everything will feel very uncomfortable.
Jia Lihu was alone here for a long time, and finally met someone he could chat with. As soon as he opens his mouth, it is like a surging river, and it is difficult to stop...
Back then, Jia Liehu had planned to leave Yangdu City, but he stayed temporarily because of some delays. So that day when he returned from the inn, after resting for a few days to make repairs, he couldn't wait to leave.
Because he happened to pass by Lu Chun's residence, he wanted to explain what happened that day. However, when he arrived, he found that Lu Chun's house had been occupied by his aunt.
When Jia Lihu asked about Lu Chun's whereabouts, the aunt said impatiently that Lu Chun was dead and would send him away. But when she saw the three hounds behind Jia Lihu, staring at her with dark eyes, she put on a smile and said that she didn't know what Lu Chun's condition was, and he hadn't been back for a long time.
But just as he was about to leave, an accident happened.
His three hounds are very obedient. No matter what the situation, they will immediately stop all actions as soon as they hear his call. But no matter how hard he pulled that day, the three hounds remained motionless, just lying on their knees and staring covetously into the distance.
At first they were just whimpering, but later they started barking wildly. Before Jia Huhu could react, he saw several hounds rushing towards the distance like arrows. No matter how he shouted, they did not look back. .
Jia Lihu could only chase the three hounds in the direction in which they left. However, when he came to the corner where they had just disappeared, the barking of the three hounds suddenly stopped, as if the sounds also followed them. The figure disappeared together.
At that time, Jia Lihuan vaguely felt that the situation was abnormal, but these three hounds had grown up with him since childhood. Although they were not the same kind, they were brothers and sisters. Of course, he could not bear to put them in danger, so he gritted his teeth and chased after them.
But when he reached the corner, he suddenly felt his eyes go dark, the light around him disappeared instantly, and he couldn't see his fingers in an instant. Jia Lianhu panicked and bumped into something, then lost consciousness...
When he woke up, he found that he was lying in a ruined temple, and his body was covered with a straw mat.
Because his whole body was sore and weak, he struggled for a long time before turning around. But when he saw the situation behind him clearly, he jumped up...
Although this dilapidated temple is dilapidated, the tabletop in front of the statue is as clean as new and the incense is strong. It seems that people often come to worship.
But what surprised him was not the incense in front of him, but a statue shrouded in incense...
