Just when Xiruoxuan was at a loss, Zhuzhu came to her rescue. Zhuzi was very clever. He changed the subject: "Grandpa, what is that on your back?"
The old man looked at the pillar carefully, with a surprised look on his face: "Brother, why are you here?"
Xiruoxuan and Zhuzi were both stunned, especially Xiruoxuan. She knew that the old man must know Zhuzi when he asked this question! But! She didn't understand how anyone in the barren mountains and old forests could know Zhu Zhu. This was too bizarre: "Grandpa, do you know Zhu Zhu?" Xi Ruoxuan looked at the old man with wide eyes.
The old man also felt rude. He smiled awkwardly and covered it up: "Oh! Maybe I was dazzled and saw it wrong. Just now, I just thought that this little brother looked familiar. He looked like the child of one of my old friends."
"That's right! What does this old friend of the old man do?" Xi Ruoxuan continued to ask inquiringly.
The old man waved his hand: "I'm just a farmer. I'm a hunter in the mountains. How can I know some big shots? You think so!" The old man said, looking at Xi Ruoxuan insincerely.
Xi Ruoxuan nodded, feeling that this was reasonable: "Grandpa, what are you doing in the mountains at this late hour?"
The old man pointed at the basket on his back: "What else can I do? Pick medicinal materials."
Xiruo Xuanxin said, "Who are you lying to? Don't think that I come from the city and don't know anything. People get up in the morning to pick herbs. There is no reason to come at night. Not only is the light not good at night, but there are also wolves, insects, and tigers." There are also many leopards. Aren’t you obviously lying to me when you say that
When the hero saw Xi Ruoxuan's expression, he knew that she didn't believe it: "This girl doesn't believe it, does she? I told you that I have to come at night to collect this kind of medicinal materials, and you can't see it during the day."
"What kind of medicine is so strange?" Xi Ruoxuan asked still doubtfully.
The old man was about to answer when suddenly countless torches appeared in the woods, and these torches slowly moved towards Xi Ruoxuan. Zhuzi looked at it and exclaimed loudly: "Sister, it's bad, the officers and soldiers are chasing us, let's run away!"
Xiruoxuan was also shocked, pulling on the pillar and running deep into the woods. The old man stopped them: "You can't run around. You will get lost in these deep mountains and forests."
How could Xi Ruoxuan care about this? He pulled the pillar and ran forward desperately. However, after running for a while, he suddenly saw the old man standing in front of him again, which made Xi Ruoxuan extremely surprised: "Old man, why are you here?"
The old man smiled easily: "Stop talking and come with me!" After saying that, the old man strode forward with a figure that even young people could not match.
Xi Ruoxuan hurriedly followed, and she was completely convinced: "Old man, your Qing Kung is so powerful. Who did you learn this from? Can you teach me?"
The old man chuckled: "Who are you following? The old man has never worshiped a master. When I was young, I heard a Taoist say that if you eat this kind of fairy grass called Zinuo, you can be as light as a swallow. At that time, I really ate it. Yes, he ran really fast."
"Is this grass really so magical?" Xi Ruoxuan didn't believe it.
The old man smiled noncommittally and said, "Girl, you'd better leave quickly! If those officers and soldiers come up, you won't be able to leave."
Xiruoxuan looked behind him, and saw that the dense firelight was still slowly moving towards him. Ha Shi must have ordered a search of the mountain after he discovered that I had escaped.
Xi Ruoxuan took a few steps and said, "Grandpa, those officers and soldiers are here to arrest me. Which direction should I escape to?"
The old man just said: "Come with me!" After saying that, his body was ten meters away again. This speed was so awesome. Xi Ruoxuan pulled the pillar and ran forward quickly. After running for half an hour, he finally got rid of the pursuers behind him.
Xi Ruoxuan breathed a long sigh of relief, and the old man also held up a torch and asked: "Now that the officers and soldiers can no longer be seen, where is the girl planning to go?"
"Of course I'm going out. How scary it is here!" Xi Ruoxuan looked around timidly.
The old man shook his head: "You can't go out now. Going out means surrendering. It's better to wait! When they retreat, you can leave again."
"Oh!" Xi Ruoxuan agreed with the old man's point of view, and suddenly she saw the old man's backpack again.
"By the way, grandpa, can you show me what kind of grass it is?" Xi Ruoxuan said, looking at the old man expectantly.
The old man nodded: "Of course, it's just that this kind of grass is difficult to pick. It's hidden in the soil during the day and only grows at night, and it withers when it sees the sun."
"How is this possible? This is grass, not an animal. Does it have legs?" Xi Ruoxuan didn't believe it at all.
The old man continued: "I know you don't believe it even if I say it, but it's true. Otherwise, why would I be so old and run faster than you young people!"
In the face of the facts, Xi Ruoxuan had to believe: "Grandpa, you mean that drinking this herb will make you run very fast, right?"
"yes!"
"Then when you make the soup, can you cook it a little longer and give me a little drink to see if I really have this skill?" Xi Ruoxuan boldly asked.
Xiruo Although it is good, it is delicate, and if it is kept for a long time, it will wither. Therefore, I will make an exception today and let the girl try it. Let's go! I will take you to my house, and I will make soup for you to drink. "
Xiruoxuan was a little excited, but also a little timid. What was exciting was that it would be great if he really drank the herbal medicine and mentioned his power! However, she was vaguely worried about whether it would be too risky for me, a big girl, to go to an old man's house in the middle of the night to drink medicine. If this old guy tampered with the medicine, I would be dead. However, this old man doesn't look like a pervert. He is already so old, so he probably has no interest in that aspect!
Xi Ruoxuan thought about it over and over again, and finally, curiosity finally defeated his fear. Then take a gamble! Fortunately, Zhu Zhu is still there. If anything happens, Zhu Zhu can still help.
"Then where is your home?"
"Right in front." After the old man finished speaking, he walked forward quickly. Xi Ruoxuan said quickly: "Wait a moment, I can't keep up."
The old man laughed loudly in the distance: "Haha, there's nothing I can do about it, it's so fast as soon as I step out, it's okay, I'll wait for you here."
Xi Ruoxuan is really tempted. If I learn such light skills, it will be easier to do things in the future. Zhong Langyu, Su Shaokai, and even Mr. Murong, none of them can catch up with me.
"Zhuzi, do you think my sister wants to go with him?" Xi Ruoxuan was still a little worried and asked about the child.
Zhu Zhu looked at Xi Ruoxuan blankly: "Sister, what if he is a liar?"
This is what Xiruoxuan is worried about: "Zhuzi, sister will go with him later. Sister drinks his medicine. You must not drink it. If anything goes wrong, you will use this dagger to deal with him. Do you understand?" After Xi Ruoxuan finished speaking, he handed the dagger he carried with him to Zhu Zhu.
Zhu Zhu took the dagger: "Don't worry, sister, if that old man dares to bully my sister, I will cut him off."
Xiruoxuan was stunned, thinking how old this child was! How do you know this: "No nonsense."
"If the pillar doesn't cut him, it will kill him directly."
"You still said that!" Xi Ruoxuan blushed when he said it.
"Why haven't you come over yet? What are you waiting for?" the old man urged.
"Here we come!" Xi Ruoxuan agreed, pulling the pillar and running over, and soon they stopped in front of a thatched house.
"This is the old man's home, come on! Come in!" the old man said, opening the lock and walking in.
Xi Ruoxuan also boldly walked in: "Old man, you are the only one!"
"Yes! This old man is alone and has never been married in his life!"
As soon as these words came out, Xi Ruoxuan was a little scared, thinking that a man who has never been married in his whole life would be a pervert!
The old man said to himself: "Look at this place, which girl is willing to suffer here with me?"
Xiruoxuan thought about it, if it were me, I wouldn't live in this place where birds don't lay eggs.
"Girl, brother, you sit down first, I'm going to make soup." After the old man finished speaking, he went to light the fire.
"Wait a minute, let me see what this grass looks like first!" Xi Ruoxuan said and walked in. The old man nodded: "Okay! Girl, if you think it's the right thing to eat, you can pick it yourself in the future, but it's hard to find this grass. Sometimes you can't find even one for several nights. Also, it must be In spring, this grass will not show up in other seasons.”
Xi Ruoxuan wrote down what the old man said one by one, thinking that if this grass works, I will eat a lot of it and run fast.
"Look, this is the fairy grass." The old man opened the basket.
Xiruoxuan's eyes suddenly lit up, what a lovely fairy grass! Green with red, and crystal clear, shining in the weak firelight.
"It's so cute! Grandpa, what's the name of this grass?"
The old man shook his head: "This old man doesn't know. The Taoist didn't tell me at the beginning. It was the old man who named this grass Zinuo. You just need to remember what this fairy grass looks like."
Xi Ruoxuan nodded: "Okay, I've written it down, we can start."
The old man quickly took out the iron pot and started to boil water. Soon a bowl of fresh herbs came out.
"Girl, would you like to take a bite first?" the old man said, taking a bowl.
Xiruoxuan took it and still didn't dare to drink it.
The old man smiled: "Come! Let me drink it for you!" After saying that, the old man filled a bowl for himself, then blew on it and drank it in one breath.
Seeing that the old man had already drank it, Xiruoxuan thought there would be no problem, so he drank the herbs in one go.
After Xi Ruoxuan drank it, he felt strange in his stomach, and then his whole body started to feel hot. The old man looked at Xi Ruoxuan with a smile: "How do you feel?"
Xi Ruoxuan felt uncomfortable at this moment! Am I poisoned? Xi Ruoxuan looked at the old man in horror: "Grandpa, why do I feel so uncomfortable?"
The old man chuckled: "This is your first time drinking, so your reaction will naturally be bigger. You will get used to it after drinking too much."
Xi Ruoxuan felt relieved after hearing this: "Then can I go out and run?"
The old man shook his head: "That won't work. The terrain outside is complicated. If you go out and run around rashly, you will fall."
Why did Xi Ruoxuan care so much? He ran out in a hurry. Strangely enough, Xi Ruoxuan felt that his whole body was much lighter, and his feet felt like he was stepping in the air. She already had a foundation in Qing Gong, and with the power of this medicine, she became even more powerful.
The old man was also surprised: "Girl, how come you are so powerful after drinking it once? Have you ever learned Qing Gong?"
"Yes! Grandpa, I have learned it! Haha, it's so fun." Xi Ruoxuan said while running around the thatched house.
The old man was also very happy: "Girl, okay, okay, but don't tell other people about this secret recipe. If everyone comes to dig it, then I won't be able to dig it out in the future!"
"Grandpa, do you have any more? I'll drink some more." Xi Ruoxuan wanted to go in and drink more.
The old man smiled slightly: "Girl, you have to do this step by step. It doesn't matter how much you drink at once."
Xi Ruoxuan was a little disappointed: "That's it! Then give some to my brother too!" Xi Ruoxuan suddenly thought of Zhu Zhu, feeling sorry for him if he didn't give Zhu Zhu a drink with such a good thing.
The old man shook his head: "That's not possible. This herb has an aphrodisiac effect. It is not good for children to eat it."
"Aphrodisiac?" Xi Ruoxuan was startled.
The old man nodded: "I only gave you a little drink just now. If you drink more, it will be bad."
Only then did Xi Ruoxuan feel that something was strange just now. His feelings were caused by this herb!
"Grandpa, thank you so much. How should I thank you?" Xi Ruoxuan asked sincerely.
The old man chuckled: "Girl, as long as you take good care of this little brother, it will be the best thank you to me." After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and was already ten meters away.
The old man's nonsense words stunned Xi Ruoxuan: "Hey! Please speak clearly, speak clearly." However, the old man had disappeared.
