143, you don't know (guess and update)
Ao Ye didn't actually run very far.
Last night, Cishuang's joke question made him so annoyed that he didn't fall asleep all night. Before dawn, he secretly got up and walked in the mountains and forests. At dawn, he happened to walk to the entrance of the village he passed by. Yesterday, the shepherd boy was riding a big green cow and preparing to go out. In the courtyard behind him, an old girl waved goodbye to him.
The shepherd boy recognized him and turned around and smiled and said to the old man, "Grandma, it was this gentleman who gave me shrimp yesterday."
The old man's wrinkled face opened with a kind smile and greeted enthusiastically: "Where did this young man come from? Why don't you go into the room and sit down? There is also a cooking cake just baked this morning on the stove. Would you like to taste one?
The mountain villagers were simple and hospitable, which I experienced yesterday. As soon as Ao Ye touched his stomach, he was really hungry, so he did not refuse and followed the old man into the house.
The house is in disrepair and a little damaged, but it is very clean, and the tables and chairs are spotless. The edges and ravines are flattened by the years, and there is a layer of silky light.
"Sit casually. I'll get you two cooking cakes." The old lady was a little hunched, holding the door frame with one hand and going out tremblingly.
Ao Ye sat down on a stool by the table and looked at the decorations in the room. He felt that it was no different from ordinary farmers, but the words hanging on the front wall of the hall were a little special. Not only were the poems were meaningful, but also the pen was like a sharp, and the skills could be seen everywhere, which was not like the work of farmers.
The old man quickly came back with a plate of cooking cakes and a bowl of white porridge. After Ao Ye Xie tasted it, it was really good, so she rudely ate both of them. The white porridge also drank the bottom of the bowl to the sky. Then she took a breath and praised, "The old man is really good craftsmanship. Even this ordinary cooking cake can be made. It's delicious."
"I'm flattered," the old man smiled and narrowed her eyes and said, "I learned this craft from my wife when I was young. Compared with him, I'm far worse than him."
"Real?"
Seeing that he had finished eating, the old man had to get up and come to clean up. Unexpectedly, as soon as she raised her body from the chair, she fell back on her forehead, which shocked Ao Ye and hurried up to hold the old man's shoulder: "The old man is not feeling well. Why don't I call the doctor?"
The old man shook her head tiredly and sighed, "When you are old, your health will get worse day by day. It doesn't matter."
Ao Ye touched the old man's pulse, and his pulse was weak. It was not only the result of old age, but also the result of overwork, so he asked, "Is there only you and your grandson in this family?"
"Yes, the two daughters married early. The eldest son and the second son went out to do business and came back for several years. The remaining youngest son was bitten by a poisonous snake in order to save the neighbor's little Ermao last spring. It was gone that night, and the daughter-in-law also ran away with others. Alas..." The old wife talked about her bitterness. , and sighed.
Ao Ye was silent for a long time. The old woman rested and got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Looking at her gentle back, Ao Ye couldn't help asking, "Then your two sons didn't say that they would take you to enjoy happiness?"
The old wife turned around with a smile and said, "I don't want to go. My roots are here, my soul is here, and my wife is buried on the hillside behind the house. Only by his side can I feel at ease."
Ao Ye sighed: "If you live, you will be the same, and if you die, you will be in the same acupuncture point."
The old girl said: "The prince looks depressed and seems to be upset. He asks more questions, but he is worried about the people in his mind?"
Before Ao Ye could answer, there was a noisy shout of the dragon palace shrimp soldiers and crabs outside the yard - the little shepherd boy met Ci Shuang and Tang Xiaotang and leaked his whereabouts.
"The prince is really not an ordinary person. He must have a noble status. Don't let his servants wait." The old lady heard that the outside was calling His Highness, and the guests were restless, so she knew what was going on, so she persuaded her.
Ao Ye nodded and got up without causing any trouble to the old man. He walked out of the door, and the shrimp and crab outside immediately saw him and surrounded him. Ao Ye arched his hand to the old woman: "The younger generation wants to ask the old man for advice."
The old man squatted by the basin to wash the dishes and said leisurely, "Son, please tell me."
Ci Shuang received a notice from his subordinates, and then he also hurried over.
Ao Ye heard his voice, but pretended not to hear it. He was quiet for a second and said, "It's easy for mortals to stay together for only a hundred years, but if they live for tens of millions of years and face all day long, won't they hate each other? What will happen then?"
Ci Shuang's face turned white in an instant.
The old man smiled and said, "Just think about the good of that man."
Ao Ye lowered his eyes, and Tang Xiaotang also arrived. He happened to hear this last sentence and was confused: "Who is better?"
"No one is good. Let's go." Ao Ye indifferently opened the door and walked out of the courtyard.
At the moment he turned around, the old man washed the dishes and chopsticks and stood up with her knees, but her body shook, and the man fell to the ground heavily in the sound of the porcelain bowl breaking.
"Old man!"
In the end, he still didn't leave. After Lang Zhong came for examination, he said that the old man had a fracture in his right arm, coupled with years of hard work and weakness, I'm afraid he needed to take care of the rest of the year to get better.
The little shepherd boy was also called home and sat by the bedlightly stroked her grandmother's white hair with red eyes.
On the contrary, the old woman was very calm. Her intact left hand rubbed her grandson's little face and said lovingly, "Water baby, don't be sad. Grandma doesn't hurt. Grandma still wants to watch you grow up and marry your daughter-in-law in the future. Then hold your great-grandson with these hands. Good, don't cry."
The little shepherd aquatic was coaxed by her, but his mouth pouted and tears fell down: "Grandma!"
Ci Shuang said a few words to Lang Zhong outside, took out a whole silver and handed it over. Lang Zhong took it, bowed to him, left. Ci Shuang lifted the curtain and went into the room and said, "I asked Lang Zhong to go to the pharmacy in the nearest town to buy some supplements. Old man, you take medicine on time every day, and you will get better soon. Of."
The old lady said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you, some nobles! Aquatic cubs, go to boil water and make tea for several nobles.
Shuisheng ran out with tears, and the old woman sighed tiredly and said, "I'm at this age. Living is nothing more than a day. After a day, it will be one day less. I thought that Lao Wu married his daughter-in-law and gave birth to a baby, so I could go to Huangquan to accompany my lonely wife, but who knows... Alas."
"Old man, don't say that. I believe Grandpa won't mind waiting for you for a few more years," Tang Xiaotang took the old man's hand and comforted him. "If you leave him alone, you really don't know how to live in the future."
The old woman sighed and said, "Yes, I also know that I just can't let go of the aquatic cubs. Sometimes... I doubt whether I am alive or dead. My children haven't come back for a long time. I and the aquatic cubs are all abandoned people."
Tang Xiaotang and Ci Shuang comforted her again, served her to rest, and then gently went out.
Ao Ye had been standing in the hall, stunned by the calligraphy and painting on the wall. Shuisheng boiled water in the kitchen and poured water for them to drink. The shrimp soldiers and crabs who went out to hunt, carry water and chop firewood came back. They were also divided into water bowls and squatted on the corner steps to drink while sweating like rain.
"What are you looking at?" After drinking the water, Tang Xiaotang fanned the wind with his hand and asked.
Ao Ye said, "I'm not looking at it. I'm thinking."
"What do you think?"
The word on the wall is written in the last two sentences of Qin Guan's Magpie Bridge Fairy. If the two love last for a long time, how can they be in the morning and evening?
"Think..." Ao Ye swallowed his saliva, and his voice was a little astringent. "What's the point of living? What's the point of living so long? Being hindered by relatives and friends, you can't be with your loved ones. Thousands of years is not as happy as mortals for decades."
Tang Xiaotang looked at him puzzledly, and Ao Ye suddenly smiled at himself: "Sometimes when you think about it, it's better to die."
As soon as he finished speaking, a wind of palms came to his face, and half of his face was slapped fiercely. The shrimp soldiers and crabs who talked and laughed were all silent.
Ci Shuang opened his eyes angrily and roared almost: "What the bastard! Death, what's good about death? Do people live their lives only for love? A man, who doesn't think about actions and doesn't want to make achievements, can't extricate himself from the private affairs of his children all day long. It's simply stupid!"
Ao Ye's cheeks quickly puffed up, and his skin color was much whiter than that of a normal person. With a palm print, the color was abnormally distinct.
Ao Ye gave him a cold look and said, "I'm just a hero with short-term love. So what? What does it have to do with you?"
Ci Shuang choked and couldn't answer the words.
"Be over your own, and commit the following crimes," Ao Ye raised his arm and pointed out of the door. "What should I do... General Cishuang, do you want me to teach you?"
Tang Xiaotang couldn't keep up with their progress from that slap. It was not until Ci Shuang gritted his teeth and went out and knelt down against the steaming sun that he suddenly realized and hurriedly stopped several shrimp soldiers and crab generals who hesitated to go out for execution: "Stop, don't do it. What's the matter? Ao Ye? General Cishuang is your teacher. How can you hit him?
Ao Ye said coldly, "If the teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy. Who will punish him if he is not punished? Hit!"
"No!" Tang Xiaotang immediately stopped, "You and you, you all go fishing in the river. If you can't touch it, don't come back. Go quickly!" The shrimp soldier and crab were sandwiched between His Highness and the general. As soon as Tang Xiaotang spoke, they all ran away as if they had received a special amnesty.
Cishuang was still kneeling in the yard. Tang Xiaotang persuaded him several times but failed to persuade him, so he had to come back to persuade Ao Ye: "It's wrong for General Cishuang to beat you, but you don't have to be so stubborn, do you? Isn't he also for your own good?"
Ao Ye laughed and said in a voice almost squeezed out of his teeth, "For my good? You let him touch his conscience and say, who is it for? I, the son of the South China Sea Dragon King, wave casually, and there are people competing for good to me. I can't tell who is sincere and who is hypocritical?
Tang Xiaotang had no idea and had no choice but to sit on a stool and look at this and that.
"Deep love, responsibility," suddenly a laughter came from nowhere, "Little Hailong, you will understand when you grow up."
Ao Ye was furious: "Who is it? What a hero is to hide his head and tail? If you have the ability, come out and speak!"
Ci Shuang looked sideways. On the low tile eaves of the kitchen, a yellow-haired teenager was sitting cross-legged with a smile, holding his fleshy cheek in one hand and blinking a pair of big eyes cunningly.
"General Cishuang, in the name of justice in the world, I forgive you for your innocence and get up."
