1802 Old Immortals
At first, it was quite spacious, but the further you walked inside, the more cramped the space became, the light became darker and darker, the sound of heartbeat and breathing was clearly visible, and the vague reflection in the water seemed a little hideous.
Wang Baoyu's heart also slipped up, shouldn't there be any danger? He took out the lighter, and finally saw that this was a karst cave, the cave wall was smooth, and the stalagmites inside were of a strange shape, showing the magic of nature, and there was a unique scenery. However, there are no poisonous insects or monsters, except for the dark spots, everything is very peaceful.
Wang Baoyu decided to continue walking, and after walking for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up, and an exit appeared in front of him.
Wang Baoyu hurriedly ran towards the exit, getting brighter and brighter, and his horizons were getting wider and wider, when he appeared in the sunlight again, he was surprised for a while, could it be that this is the legendary paradise?
This is a place surrounded by mountains, only a few miles in radius, the steep cliffs are not accessible at all, and in the middle is an open meadow, the grass is green, the flowers are in full bloom, the sound of water is bursting, and the birdsong is quiet.
Not far away, there is a lonely small grass house, surrounded by wooden fences, although simple, but it looks neat and neat, maybe there are really gods living in it! Wang Baoyu was in a mood of excitement, shook off his wet trouser legs, and hurriedly changed three steps to two steps and walked towards the small grass house.
Before he could reach the door, he stopped, and Wang Baoyu saw two big wolf dogs squatting there on the left and right, with sharp snouts and wide mouths, and ears erect.
Wang Baoyu subconsciously touched the food in the bag, in case the two beasts suddenly pounced on him.
"Anyone?"
"Welcome!" The sound of the urn and the sound of the urn came out, but Wang Baoyu was startled, and he looked around left and right, but he didn't find anyone.
"Anyone?" Wang Baoyu thought he had misheard and asked again.
"Welcome!" The voice continued, and it was an old man's voice! Wang Baoyu looked around for the source of life, and finally was shocked to find that the sound seemed to come from the mouth of the wolf dog, the left side said the word "Huan", and the right dog said the word "Ying"!
Can dogs speak human language? This is fucking bullshit! However, the two wolf dogs' mouths are closed one by one, which coincides with the welcome. Wang Baoyu waited for a long time, but no one responded. Since the two dogs said they were welcome, indicating that they were not hostile to themselves, Wang Baoyu was bold and still approached the grass house curiously.
The courtyard is neatly separated by a few small plots of land, planted a few vegetables, and a few strange plants that cannot be named, which should be medicinal herbs.
Wang Baoyu looked at the two big wolf dogs at the door, stepped forward cautiously and slowly, and ran past them with a thud.
Poof, Wang Baoyu patted his chest, carefully opened the door curtain, as if there was no one, and walked in. The hut is filled with a strong medicinal fragrance, the hall in the middle is placed with all kinds of Chinese herbs, a small casserole is bubbling with steam, is boiling medicine, it seems that the old fairy is not only proficient in the way of divination, but also a doctor who saves the life and helps the wounded.
Needless to say, the other furnishings are very simple, one wooden table and one wooden chair, even the teapot and teacup on the table are wooden, perhaps because they have been used for too long, and they are wiped frequently, and they all have a metallic luster.
"Who's coming?" An old voice came from inside the inner room, startling Wang Baoyu.
Immediately, a white-bearded old man appeared in front of him, the old man looked like he was 100 years old, but his complexion was ruddy, his waist was straight, and he was dressed in decent blue-gray coarse cloth clothes.
Wang Baoyu could almost conclude that this must be the immortal in Dai Liang's mouth, and hurriedly and politely said: "Old immortal, my name is Wang Baoyu, I came to visit rashly, and I was disturbed." ”
"I hate you calling me that, I'm not dead yet, what kind of fairy is it!" The old man was expressionless.
Wang Baoyu sneered for a while, and said complimentarily: "Your dog can be trained to speak human words, you are not a fairy." ”
"Huh!" The old fairy finally smiled a little, waved his hand and said, "They are not dogs, they are wolves!" ”
Wolf! Oh my god! Wang Baoyu was almost scared to death, his hair stood on end, just now he was standing opposite to the two wolves, and even passed by them, he was really afraid.
"They're all over twenty years old, and they can't keep up with the wolves, so they keep me as a companion to watch the gate." The old man understated.
Well, wolves don't live to this age, they don't die old, they have to become wolf immortals, there is nothing to be afraid of.
The old fairy beckoned Wang Baoyu to sit down in the east room, there was no fire pit in the house, only a bed made of vines, a clean bedding, a small table in the corner of the room, a few yellowed books, and a jade flute hanging on the facing wall.
The rattan bed sat on it flickering, Wang Baoyu tried his best to maintain his body balance, and said with a smiling face: "Old fairy, you are really a paradise here!" ”
"I don't grow peach blossoms here!"
Hehe, Wang Baoyu was embarrassed for a while, the old man was obviously pretending to be confused, and asked, "Dare to ask the name?" ”
"My surname is Hua, a single word series." The old fairy said.
Comical? The name was so funny that Wang Baoyu almost burst out laughing. In the face of this kind of worldly master, of course he didn't dare to laugh, and greeted politely, "Hua Lao is good!" ”
The old fairy asked, "Young man, how did you find here?" ”
"A friend of mine, named Dai Liang, told me that there is an old fairy here. I wanted to visit, so I came uninvited, and I ask Hua Lao's forgiveness. Wang Baoyu explained.
"Dai Liang? Oh, that little generation, I wanted him to accompany me here, but I didn't expect him to say that the fate is over, and he has to leave anyway, and he can't stop him. "The old immortal said.
Xiaodai? Wang Baoyu scratched his head for a while, and then figured it out, in the eyes of an elderly person like Hua Lao, Dai Liang is also a figure of children's generation. It doesn't sound like what Dai Liang said, Hua Lao obviously wants to keep him here, but this old boy is just restless, maybe he still ran away.
"Hua Lao, are you long-lived?" Wang Baoyu asked.
"I can't remember clearly, when I came, it was during the Guangxu period. As for how long I haven't been here, I never remember! Hua Lao frowned and waved his hand, probably it was indeed the sun and the moon in the mountains.
Wang Baoyu pulled his fingers and counted, but he couldn't count how old the old man was, and asked curiously: "You are a miracle doctor, why don't you go out and hang the pot to help the world?" Isn't it a pity here? ”
Hua Lao laughed and said, "I don't know how to treat people, I just think about treating animals myself." ”
Veterinarian? Hua Lao's words shocked Wang Baoyu again, what kind of livestock are there here, he suddenly figured out that the two wolves in front of the door were probably cured by Hua Lao, so he would repay the favor for the elderly to take care of the home here.
