Chapter 242 The Furnishing of Thatched Hut
Shui Xiaoxing and others were very surprised. This old man was so old, but he walked so vigorously, but this was just a guess. Even though Shui Xiaoxing and others were in front of them, they had never had the chance to see him. This also made Mao Doudou
, and I am even more convinced that this person must be Taoist Master Shui Jing!
But this person didn't answer the question and didn't pay attention to what Mao Doudou said. Grandpa not only cares about who he is, but also doesn't care whether you are the Mao family or the Ma family. It seems that he only has Tao in his heart and nothing else. He
The realm has reached such a high level that even Shui Xiaoxing, Mao Doudou and others cannot imagine.
Shui Xiaoxing cupped his hands and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. I know how to cook, so why don't grandpa go back to rest and let me cook by myself? What do you think of grandpa?"
Shui Xiaoxing also had good intentions, but the old man said: "You are here as a guest, please take a rest." It seems that the older generation has their own ideas, and they are probably afraid of hurting these children, and
In the minds of the older generation, this is roughly what they think, that is, if I can walk around for a day, then I will do it for a day. At home, I am for my daughter, and outside, I am contributing to the society.
Shui Xiaoxing didn't want to say any more, so he just smiled and said, "Then I'll bother Grandpa!" After saying that, he returned to the hut. Although Mao Doudou thought that this person was undoubtedly Taoist Shui Jing, Shui Xiaoxing couldn't help but smile.
Xiaoxing is still skeptical about this. It is said that Hongshan is an excellent place for practicing witchcraft and Taoism. It is inevitable that there will be experts here, and this person is a relatively skilled Taoist.
Gao did not admit that he was Taoist Shuijing. Shui Xiaoxing was also thinking that even if Mao Doudou said that you were Taoist Shuijing, you should agree to it, but this old man did not.
Yes, it shows that he may not be the one. As for the appearance of Taoist Master Shui Jing, Shui Xiaoxing also had no chance to see him. He was not born at that time, but who is this person?
When several people walked into the room, Shui Xiaoxing asked Mao Doudou in a low voice, "Doudou, how do you determine that this person is Taoist Master Shui Jing?"
Mao Doudou sat on the stool and said: "I don't know either, but my master often talks about the same things as this person, and also mentions some things about Taoist Shuijing. These two things are connected together. I think this person
It should be Taoist Master Shui Jing. If he is not Taoist Master Shui Jing, then who else in the world can have such a profound Taoist practice?" Mao Doudou looked at Shui Xiaoxing.
Several girls also looked at Shui Xiaoxing. Shui Xiaoxing didn't dare to look at Mao Doudou anymore, so he pretended to turn around and walked to the couch, looked at the furnishings in the hut, and thought about it for a while.
The appearance of this thatched hut is very shabby, but the inside is very tidy, and there is not much. This tidiness also starts with the bedding. Although the white edge of the bedding is very old, it is very clean, and there is no dust at all on the couch.
, apart from the couch, the most conspicuous thing in the room was the wooden table on the couch, which seemed to be handmade. Shui Xiaoxing turned his attention to the ground and saw that the ground was paved with cobblestones.
There is wood underground
It was made just like a wardrobe, with no doors. There was a Taoist robe and some clothes in the wardrobe, but above the stool where Mao Doudou was sitting, there was an old portrait hanging. The person in the portrait looked roughly the same as this person.
, in the painting
The man was wearing a Taoist robe, sitting cross-legged on a boulder in the mountains. His eyes were closed, his hair and beard were gray, and he looked to be a hundred years old. Shui Xiaoxing thought this was a self-portrait of such an old man, but things were not as simple as he thought.
.
As for Lin Yao, Mao Doudou and others, they all saw this portrait, but the person in the painting looked very similar to this person, so they also thought that this was the grandfather's self-portrait, and the grandfather was reticent, so they didn't
Well, let me ask one or two more questions.
When entering the house, not far from the stove, Shui Xiaoxing saw an earthen basket made of woven rattan. The earthen basket was filled with wild vegetables and mushrooms. Beside the earthen basket, there was a
Bags of rice, but the rice is not just common rice, but several kinds of rice mixed together. Nowadays, rice pudding is nothing more than that.
Looking around again, except for a wooden stool where Teacher Xiaoqing is sitting, there are no other furnishings that can be mentioned.
Shui Xiaoxing turned to Mao Doudou and said: "My master rarely mentioned the deeds of Taoist Shui Jing, because he didn't know Taoist Shui Jing very well. At that time, he only said that Taoist Shui Jing passed on the mantle of master and left alone.
After entering Longshan, there was no trace of my master. According to what you described, Doudou, this old man is probably my master, Taoist Master Shui Jing."
Then Shui Xiaoxing said with a playful smile: "But Doudou, you knocked your head. If it weren't for you, wouldn't you be at a disadvantage?"
Of course it was a joke, after all, everyone was in their twenties. Mao Doudou said: "This person is a profound Taoist. Even if he is not, he is still the ancestor of my Taoism. How can I not meet him!" But Mao Doudou still felt in his heart.
I was a little unconvinced and thought that if I really wasn't Taoist Master Shui Jing, wouldn't I be embarrassed? Then I thought again, no! I will find a way to explain to this old man again during dinner.
Who is it?
The food cooked by the grandpa was ready quickly. She put the rice and vegetables on the wooden table on the couch. Of course Shui Xiaoxing also wanted to help get something. The grandpa said: "No, no, you wait a moment."
Take a rest!"
Shui Xiaoxing was still thinking that this old man's character was really weird. Looking at him living alone in the Red Mountain, he must have escaped from the secular world. This was not humane, but it could be said to be a good thing.
Seeing that the old grandfather disappeared outside the hut, Shui Xiaoxing hurriedly chased him out, but the jungle trees in the mountains were dense, and he didn't know which direction the old grandfather went. Then he returned to the hut. At this time,
The old man followed closely and walked back. He saw that he was holding a few wet dew leaves in his hands. The leaves were very big and I didn't know what kind of leaves they were. There were also a few thinner branches in his hands.
At this time, the old man said: "The house is simple and simple, and no one has come here for decades, so there are no bowls or chopsticks. These leaves are the bowls, and these branches are the chopsticks. What do you think?"
Shui Xiaoxing, Mao Doudou and others certainly did not dislike this, and they all agreed.
Shui Xiaoxing also said: "It would be rude of us to interrupt him. Now that grandpa treats you well, we are very grateful."
The old man smiled and touched a strand of his beard. Then he said, "Please sit on the couch." Then he divided the leaves and branches, that is, bowls and chopsticks for everyone!
I just heard the old man say: "Don't worry, everyone, I have washed these leaves and branches with mountain spring water, and nothing will happen to them."
Lin Yao looked at the leaves and could only smile and said, "Thank you, grandpa."
The leaves and branches are a kind of peculiar thing in Hongshan. The old man gave everyone some eight-treasure rice, plus wild vegetables and mushrooms from the mountain, and everyone started eating...
When Shui Xiaoxing took the first bite, he realized the difference. He praised: "This is really delicious!" Mao Doudou, Lin Yao and others had not eaten yet and were also doubting whether this food was edible.
, after all, except for things other than rice, everyone is new to it.
The only mushrooms I have ever seen are those. Although I have seen them, I have never seen such small and strange ones. We all know that some mushrooms are poisonous. If this person is a bad person and has evil intentions, then wouldn’t our entire army be wiped out?
!So the two of them still have some tricks up their sleeves.
At this moment, Shui Xiaoxing had almost finished the rice on his leaves, and he also took several bites of wild vegetables and mushrooms. Seeing that Shui Xiaoxing was fine, Mao Doudou and Lin Yao started eating.
As for the big head, it has been filled several times now. Everything he eats tastes the same, and he is satisfied when he is full.
Mao Doudou said: "It's weird! When the eight-treasure rice is placed on the leaves, it changes its taste. It feels like there is a fresh fragrance, and the one made of branches is like using chopsticks to pick up the eight-treasure rice.
, but it has changed into a fresh fragrance, and the two blend into one, which really makes people forget to return, as if they don’t want to stop!” That means I want to take a few more bites.
Shui Xiaoxing said while eating: "I say yes, Sister Lin, how do you feel?"
"Brother Xiaoxing, I feel the same way as Mao Doudou," Lin Yao said, and then Teacher Xiaoqing also made a speech, and the old man smiled and said: "This is nature!"
Xinyue didn't know what was going on here. She was just looking at everyone with strange eyes, hoping to find some clues.
But everyone is young, and many things cannot be understood. So, what is nature? Is it just letting nature take its course? In fact, it is not the case. The secret is that if Shui Xiaoxing and others are older and experience life well,
Only then will you gradually understand the secret.
While eating, Mao Doudou asked again: "Grandpa, are you from the Ma family?" He didn't feel embarrassed to mention whether you were Taoist Master Shui Jing.
While the grandpa was eating, he nodded and didn't say another word. It wasn't until everyone was very full and had eaten all the food on the table that the grandpa said: "Everyone, please stay on the couch for a while."
Take a rest." He also cleared the table by himself.
After everyone had eaten for nothing, of course they all felt a little embarrassed not to work, but they all guessed that the grandfather had this kind of character, so naturally they didn't say much, and just rested on the couch. The big head was more affordable.
Now they were all asleep on the couch.
Shui Xiaoxing glanced at Big Head, and didn't know what to say. Big Head could just rest. If he left Grandpa's house, he didn't know how many things he would encounter.
The old man cleared the wooden table and then walked in and said, "Everyone wants to see Taoist Master Shui Jing, please come with me!"
Everyone was very surprised when these words came out, and then the grandfather walked out. Shui Xiaoxing hurriedly patted Big Head and shouted: "Big Head, get up quickly!"
It happened that Big Head was about to fall asleep. If he fell asleep, it might not be enough time. The old man went out and walked towards the back hillside of the jungle. Shui Xiaoxing didn't care whether Big Head got up or not, so he just dodged a few times.
