"This mountain is called Chongshan. Isn't the young hero from Fancheng?" The old man looked at Lu Yunyou strangely.
"Chongshan," Lu Yunyou muttered silently. He felt embarrassed by the old man's rhetorical question. As a result, he turned his eyes and stopped at another mountain ridge not far away. Suddenly, he felt a sense of déjà vu. When he looked again, on that mountain ridge The shapes of several peaks were very similar to the peaks on the mountain range where he was now, so he directly understood the origin of the name Chongshan.
"Are there no ferocious beasts in the mountains?" Shaking his head, Lu Yunyou asked another question he wanted to know.
"There are none here, but there are many a little further away. Could it be that the young hero is here to hunt ferocious beasts?" The old man felt more and more strange about Lu Yunyou's question. After realizing that Lu Yunyou was not a local, or even a native of his country, the old man But he became more and more curious about Lu Yunyou's purpose in coming to the mountain.
"No," Lu Yunyou shook his head. He was a little embarrassed. He always felt that his usual cleverness was completely insufficient in front of the other party.
Seeing that Lu Yunyou didn't seem to be lying, the old man asked helplessly: "My little friend, don't you have something on your mind?"
"No," I don't know how the other party could see that he was worried. After responding with a grunt, Lu Yunyou felt more and more unable to talk to the old man in front of him normally, and he already had the intention of saying goodbye to his grandfather and grandson.
But when he was thinking about how to speak, the child who had been silent suddenly asked: "Grandpa, is your worry an illness?"
"It's an illness," the old man replied.
"Is there something wrong with his heart?" the child asked again.
"No," shook his head, and the old man continued to search for herbs.
"Isn't there a heart problem? What is the problem?" The child was even more confused.
"What do you think?"
"Grandpa, I know, there is something wrong with his head." After communicating with his grandfather, the child immediately speculated excitedly as if he had made a huge discovery.
The grandfather and grandson were talking to themselves, not taking Lu Yunyou's existence seriously at all. Either the old man was a stupid person, or he had already decided that Lu Yunyou would not do anything to their grandfather and grandson.
"Young hero, you haven't eaten yet? Why don't you come with us? It just so happens that the old man plans to go back to cook." He did not express his approval or disapproval of the child's statement. Looking back, the old man extended an invitation to Lu Yunyou with a kind face.
"Okay," Lu Yunyou originally wanted to say goodbye and leave when the grandfather and grandson were talking, but now after meeting the old man's kind eyes, he couldn't help but said, "Okay."
"Then let's go," seeing Lu Yunyou agree, the old man turned around and walked down the mountain without any intention of receiving Lu Yunyou enthusiastically.
"What's your name?" When Lu Yunyou was thinking about why he agreed to the other party, the kid ran over and pulled Lu Yunyou's sleeve and asked.
"My name is Lu Yunyou," Lu Yunyou couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw the child's big, watery eyes.
"The villagers down the mountain all call me Xingyu, so you should also call me Xingyu." Compared with Lu Yunyou's shyness, the child's behavior was much more generous.
Then, just when Lu Yunyou was about to agree, Xingyu pointed to the old man in front and introduced to Lu Yunyou: "He is my grandfather. The villagers at the foot of the mountain call him Mr. Hu. You should also call him Mr. Hu."
When introducing the old man in front of him, Xingyu's originally clear eyes showed a bit of disdain, and his casual tone showed no respect for the old man. This made Lu Yunyou even more strange. This old man and young man made him feel like a strange person in the world. .
"Our home is halfway up the mountain over there, and grandpa will take me down every now and then to treat the villagers." Without giving Lu Yunyou a chance to speak, Xingyu added: "The villagers down the mountain like me and grandpa very much." , every time I go down the mountain, the villagers give me a lot of delicious food."
"Your grandfather is a pharmacist?" According to Xingyu's statement, Lu Yunyou suddenly understood.
"Yes, I don't have to treat people today. Grandpa will take me to the mountain to collect medicine. This is usually the case."
"Then what if someone comes to see your grandpa for medical treatment today?" Remembering that Xingyu said just now that Mr. Hu came down from the mountain every now and then and did not stay at home today, Lu Yunyou was curious about what to do if someone came to see Mr. Hu today.
"Then don't look." While waiting for Xingyu to answer him, Mr. Hu's even more casual voice came from the front. Lu Yunyou was so shocked that he suddenly raised his head and looked forward, and then saw the serious look on Mr. Hu's face. , and he was greatly surprised by Mr. Hu's reaction.
"Brother, are you very powerful?" After Mr. Hu said this, Xingyu no longer cared about the previous question, and instead became curious about Lu Yunyou's personal strength.
"So be it," on the other side, after thinking for a long time, Lu Yunyou replied humbly.
Next, Lu Yunyou and Xingyu walked and chatted until they reached the residence of the grandfather and grandson. Looking from a distance, three thatched cottages and a small courtyard were built alone on the mountainside. The scene was strange. , at a glance, Lu Yunyou was curious as to why there was such a large flat area halfway up the mountain.
After careful observation, he no longer felt strange about the terrain in front of him, but he increasingly felt that building three thatched cottages on the mountain was a good choice. Not to mention the main entrance facing south, it would not be blown by the north wind all year round. This kind of living environment is indeed enviable.
After entering the courtyard, the environment is even more peaceful, simple yet elegant.
After saying you're welcome to Lu Yunyou, the grandfather and grandson put down the bamboo baskets they were carrying and went to a place in the yard to sit down and rest for a while.
Not long after, Mr. Hu asked Xingyu to deal with the herbs, and he went to the kitchen to start a fire and cook. As for Lu Yunyou, after Mr. Hu said something casual to him when he first entered the yard, he never had the chance to talk to Mr. Hu.
When Mr. Hu went to do his business, he concentrated on observing the surrounding scenery. He didn't care much about Mr. Hu's lack of enthusiasm in entertaining him. After all, in his heart, he already regarded the two of them as strange people.
After Mr. Hu went to the kitchen to get busy, Xingyu followed Mr. Hu's instructions and took both bamboo baskets to a bamboo board in the yard, then carefully took out the herbs from the baskets and placed them separately according to type.
Taking a closer look, Lu Yunyou recognized several types of herbs, but he didn't recognize the others at all.
Seeing Lu Yunyou coming over, Xingyu handed another bamboo basket to Lu Yunyou. While explaining to Lu Yunyou how to do it, he also introduced the various herbs on the bamboo board to Lu Yunyou. He didn't think about whether Lu Yunyou was willing to help. He just gave him the knowledge about those herbs. What he said is clear and logical.
After listening to the end, Lu Yunyou not only heard that Xingyu was very knowledgeable about various medicinal herbs, but also knew that the herbs collected by his grandfather and grandson were used to treat ordinary people's illnesses, and there was nothing special about them.
Then when Lu Yunyou thought that treating ordinary people did not require special medicinal materials, Xingyu suddenly said that Mr. Hu still collected some precious medicinal materials and was reluctant to use them. Xingyu's statement made the originally self-righteous Lu Yunyou very angry. for accident.
But thinking about it carefully, Lu Yunyou can also understand that since the grandfather and grandson live in the mountains and have been collecting herbs on the mountains, they will always encounter some older or more valuable herbs. Of course, he does not need to care about Mr. Hu’s collection. How precious are those medicinal materials?
After helping Xingyu sort the herbs, Lu Yunyou followed Xingyu to the middle living room, where there were many cabinets of medicinal herbs. According to Xingyu, if someone usually goes up the mountain to see a doctor, it is in this room that their father Sun and his wife also ate here.
The smell of various medicinal materials in the room was extremely strong. It was hard to imagine how the grandfather and grandson could eat here. After a brief look, Lu Yunyou's eyes returned to the cabinets where the medicinal materials were stored.
There are many cabinets, and each one has a label with the name of the medicinal materials and the date of storage. The upper rows are filled with different medicinal materials, but when going further down, Lu Yunyou saw the names of the same medicinal materials, but the storage date was different from the previous one. The difference is different. In short, Mr. Hu has stored a lot of medicinal materials, which should be enough to treat ordinary people.
When Lu Yunyou was thinking this, Xingyu ran directly to help Mr. Hu cook, leaving him alone and got up and walked around the living room. Since Mr. Hu had already told him not to be polite, he naturally didn't want to show off. Too restrictive.
After taking a good look at the layout of the house, Lu Yunyou soon discovered the existence of several books. Judging from the names, they were things that pharmacists usually read. He opened a few pages at random and found that the contents were even boring than the formulas. , he closed the book just after reading two paragraphs.
Turning around, Lu Yunyou went to another room next to the living room and took a look. There were two beds in one room. Obviously, the grandfather and grandson slept separately. The decoration in the room was very simple, but it cannot be described as simple. The word "quiet" would be better. It is suitable and gives people a unique feeling no matter where you look at it.
