Woof woof woof!
Da Huang ran over wagging his tail.
Ziyue reached out and rubbed Dahuang's dog's head.
Zifeng heard Dahuang's cry and came out to check the situation. His little face said excitedly: "It's my sister who's back!"
Zimu and Su Rong came to the yard after hearing the news, and the joy on their faces was beyond words.
"Xiao Yue'er."
Zi Yue has not changed much, her body has not grown much, but she is much fairer than before. She took out the frozen snow pear and a piece of beef jerky as big as a palm from the storage ring, "Dad, this is for you, I will give these to Xiao Chapter them."
The couple looked at each other and smiled, Zimu smiled and nodded, "Our little Yue'er is sensible now."
"smell good."
Zifeng chewed beef jerky.
Ziyue went out with the remaining beef jerky and ran on the field like the wind. She distributed the beef jerky to her friends in the village.
After delivering the food, Ziyue took the snow pear to the back mountain. She placed the snow pear in front of the mountain temple, then lit three sticks of incense and saluted respectfully, "Grandpa Tu, I used to take your candy. Sorry, let me treat you to a pear."
Ziyue put the incense into the incense burner.
The green smoke slowly rose, and the Shuanghe Earth God appeared in front of Ziyue, bowing and saying: "Thank you, little fairy!"
"hey-hey!"
"Goodbye Grandpa Land!"
Ziyue waved and left.
She wanted to go home early and chat with her parents.
Shuanghe Landlord smiled and nodded, murmuring: "I didn't expect that a genius would appear again in the small Shuanghe Village."
...
The mountain road was muddy and wet, but Qin Luo kept his feet on the ground, leaving his footprints on the road.
On the mountain road not far away, there was a stooped old man, wearing thin clothes and skinny bones. He was carrying two bundles of firewood on a pole. He was breathing heavily and stood in the middle of the road to rest, using a wooden stick to support the pole.
Qin Luo felt that the old man looked familiar, and he suddenly remembered that he had spoken to the old man at Luoxia Peak, "Where do you always live? I will help you send the firewood back."
"It turns out to be an immortal master!"
The old man's skin was very dark, his face was full of wrinkles, and there was a smile in his cloudy eyes. He waved his hands quickly and coughed: "The old man's family is just in front, no need to bother, Master Immortal, please go first."
The mountain road was not wide, so the rickety old man picked up the pole and moved two steps outside to make way for Qin Luo.
Qin Luo smiled and said softly: "You don't have to be polite to me. I happened to be on my way and gave you a ride."
"No need."
"Are you always afraid that I will blackmail you?"
"That's not true."
Qin Luo reached for the pole, carried the firewood, and chuckled: "We will leave after you have rested enough."
"How can this be so embarrassing..."
The rickety old man took out a gray-white handkerchief from his pocket, with three winter dates wrapped in it. "Master Immortal, I picked this up when I was chopping firewood in the mountains. You can try it."
Qin Luo looked at the old man's trembling hands, wrapping winter jujubes in a handkerchief, which proved that winter jujubes were very precious food in the eyes of the old man. He picked up the smallest winter jujubes.
"One is enough for me."
The rickety old man put away the remaining winter dates.
The winter dates were covered with frost marks and looked ugly. Qin Luo didn't care. He put the winter dates into his mouth and bit them into pieces. The winter dates were very crisp, not very sweet, and had no taste, but they were full of water. If you chew more, there would still be some. Sweet.
"This winter jujube is good."
The rickety old man shook his head with a smile, "If these winter dates were delicious, I wouldn't be able to pick them up."
Qin Luo asked with a smile: "I remember that you always go to Luoxia Peak, but I never saw you enter the Dragon and Tiger Temple."
The rickety old man shook his head with a smile, "Luoxia Peak is too high. I really can't walk. When I get better in the future, I will climb to Longhu Temple even if I have to climb."
"If you really want to go to Longhu Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings, call Qin Luo at the foot of the mountain, and I will carry you."
"useless!"
The rickety old man waved his hands repeatedly, with gratitude in his turbid eyes, "I have lived a hundred years in vain, and my close relatives and friends have passed away one after another. Some time ago, I felt that my time was running out, so I thought of looking for Master Zhang in Longhu Temple to discuss the meaning of life. Fortunately, I met the Master. With his guidance, the old man realized that there are still things worth cherishing in the world, and it is great to live one more day."
Qin Luo noticed that the old man was coughing, "When you rest in old age, don't think about anything. Just listen to your own breathing. If you feel tired, go to sleep."
"good!"
The rickety old man nodded.
"Master Immortal, I've got some rest!"
"You always walk slower."
The rickety old man walked in front holding a wooden stick, and Qin Luo walked behind carrying a pole. The pole was long and wide, and the middle was polished smooth, all traces of time.
Qin Luo walked five or six miles on the mountain road before arriving at the old man's house. The village he lived in was at the foot of the mountain, with five or six mud houses connected together, but he was the only one living here.
Some of the surrounding houses were collapsed, and some were overgrown with weeds. Only the earthen house where the rickety old man lived was piled neatly with firewood. Qin Luo thought he had no firewood to burn, but the firewood piled outside the room was not burned in a year. Not finished.
Qin Luo stacked the firewood neatly.
The rickety old man went into the house and brought a ladle of water to Qin Luo, "Master Immortal, I'm causing trouble for you."
Qin Luo took the water ladle and took a sip, "When you get older, try not to run into the mountains. It's so dangerous."
"It's boring."
The rickety old man smiled bitterly.
Qin Luo knew that he couldn't stay idle at home, so he said with a smile: "If you always feel bored, you can practice enlightenment. You can always try the method I just mentioned."
"Try it, old man."
The rickety old man laughed heartily. He didn't believe he could realize the Tao. Anyway, he didn't have much time left, so he just gave it a try.
Before leaving, Qin Luo said with a smile on his face, "Old man, don't you know how to call me?"
The rickety old man shook his head and sighed, "My name is Dong Jisheng. My parents came late to have a son. I hope that I can continue the Dong family's legacy, but now only Lao Chen is left in the Dong family."
Qin Luo smiled and joked: "Mr. Dong, you have to live well, otherwise you won't be able to explain."
"Hahaha."
"I must live a good life, old man."
Dong Jisheng smiled happily. He knew Qin Luo was joking. No one had joked with him for a long time.
"Mr. Dong, I'm going back to Longhu Temple first."
"Master Immortal, walk slowly!"
Dong Jisheng watched Qin Luo go away, and then returned to the room. He sat on the kang and began to feel his breathing.
…
The foot of Luoxia Peak.
Zhang Fulong was drinking porridge in a porridge shop.
Qin Luo came to the porridge shop and was a little confused, "Master, it's so late, why are you still drinking porridge?"
Zhang Fulong clenched his fists and coughed, "In two days, Zhao Shi will go back to Baiyun Town to celebrate the New Year. She plans to throw away the unfinished meat porridge. As a teacher, we must not waste it."
"Master Qin, do you want to drink porridge?"
Zhao Qing'er's pretty face was smiling.
"I won't drink. If you can't finish the drink, Miss Zhao can shout to the golden horn and it will come to help."
"Uh-huh."
Dragon and tiger view.
Jinjiao was lying on his back inside the cabin.
"Jinjiao, if Miss Zhao at the foot of the mountain calls you, go to her place to drink porridge."
"Okay, boss."
Golden Horn wagged its tail happily.
I hope to be called by Miss Zhao.
Qin Luo walked into the Taoist temple and saw Jin Yan sweeping the floor, "Junior brother, do you have a place you want to go?"
Jin Yan shook his head and said seriously: "Senior brother, I just want to stay at Longhu Temple, it feels like home."
Qin Luo smiled and nodded.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Tomorrow is a new year
At noon, Qin Luo was sitting cross-legged on the Taoist platform practicing. He suddenly opened his eyes and felt that the Chinese New Year was about to have a Chinese New Year atmosphere. "Little junior brother, follow me to the town for a walk."
"OK!"
Jin Yan smiled and nodded.
He hasn't been to town yet.
Qin Luo came to Ziyue's room and found a large box of copper coins she had hidden under the bed.
