Several people were sitting in the courtyard. The old man looked at the young people with kind eyes. Zhang Wa and Rongrong kept talking about how Wan Lin recognized his sister. The old man nodded while listening, and Xiaoya took out a hand from the side.
The things the old man bought were brought to him. The old man took them with a smile and put them on the table.
Wan Lin pulled Xiaoya into the house, took out a bamboo tube and said, "Sister, make some tea." Xiaoya opened the bamboo tube, and a refreshing fragrance came to her nostrils. She smelled it several times and said, "What kind of tea?"
"It smells so good," Wan Lin replied, "Wild tea from the mountains." He took out a lot of unknown dried fruits from the mountains.
The two brought brewed tea and a bunch of dried fruits and placed them on the bamboo table in the courtyard. Rongrong and Zhang Wa quickly stuffed them into their mouths and kept mumbling, "It's delicious, it's delicious."
Looking at several active young people, the wrinkles on the old man's face smoothed out.
In the evening, Wan Lin pushed his grandfather out of the kitchen and said that he would make delicious food for them. Xiaoya came to the kitchen to light the fire. Sitting on the small bamboo stool, Xiaoya kept adding fire to the stove, and the bright and dark firelight made her beautiful.
His face was flushed red, and he looked really good-looking.
Wan Lin, who was working on the stove with his head down, suddenly looked up and saw Xiaoya with a rosy face, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Confused!" Xiaoya suddenly shouted. Wan Lin quickly lowered his head and started busy in embarrassment.
Xiaoya looked up and saw Wan Lin skillfully cutting, frying, and steaming on the stove. Xiaoya was stunned. Zhang Wa and Rongrong also ran in and clamored to help, but Wan Lin pushed them out.
After a while, a table of dishes was brought out. To the dishes on the table, Wan Lin introduced one by one: this is homemade smoked sausage made from wild boar, bacon made from python meat, hare bacon, and roe deer meat stewed with wild mushrooms.
, Fried eggs with wild vegetables... The fragrant mountain dishes made Zhang Wa and the others salivate and their eyes gleam. Without waiting for Wan Lin to finish the introduction, he stretched out his chopsticks and put them into his mouth...
Seeing that they were happily eating, Grandpa got up and went into the house and took out a shovel and walked out. Wan Lin hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, what are you doing?" Grandpa handed him the shovel. "There is a jar buried under the big osmanthus tree behind the house."
Take out the wine."
"By the way, I bought two bottles of wine for grandpa." Zhang Wa said and ran into the house and took out two bottles of Maotai liquor from her backpack.
After a while, Wan Lin came back with a big jar. Grandpa smashed the mud seal on it, and a charming aroma of osmanthus-flavored wine immediately filled the entire yard.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Several people exclaimed. Grandpa scooped the wine for them with a bamboo tube and said, "I brewed this when Lin'er was 6 years old. It has been 10 years." He paused, looked at Xiaoya and smiled.
He said, "There is another pot brewed when Lin'er was born, but Wan Lin can only drink it when he gets married." Hearing the old man's words, Xiaoya's face turned red.
Zhang Wa poured a bowl of Maotai for the old man and said, "Grandpa, drink this. This is the best liquor in the country." Rongrong picked up the osmanthus wine and took a sip. "It tastes great! What Maotai, Wuliangye, etc."
Grandpa's brew is delicious." He said and took another sip.
Grandpa picked up the bowl and said, "Don't you know, today is Wan Lin's 16th birthday." "Ah, look at my sister, she never asked you about your birthday. Come, grandpa, I wish you good health! Wan Lin has a long life!"
"Xiaoya patted her head and drank a large bowl of osmanthus wine.
Not only did they not know, but Wan Lin himself had forgotten it. Living in the tense military camp and the battlefield of swords and swords, he had long forgotten his birthday.
"Daughter, drink slowly, drink slowly, this wine is very strong." Grandpa looked at Xiaoya, a beautiful girl, with distress. Zhang Wa, Rongrong also stood up and toasted grandpa, and the old man drank bowl after bowl generously...
The sky was getting dark. Wan Lin ran into the woodshed and took out two large pine branches and lit two large torches in the yard. The raging flames illuminated the entire forest red.
Seeing the old man happily drinking bowls of bowls, Xiaoya, whose face was red from drinking, came to her grandfather, took his hand and said sweetly, "Grandpa, I have accepted Wan Lin as my younger brother, but you haven't recognized me yet."
I'm your granddaughter." Grandpa quickly stood up, looked at this beautiful girl, and said lovingly, "Yes, yes, how can you not recognize her!"
Zhang Wa and Rongrong came over with wine bowls. Xiaoya stopped in front of her grandfather, "My grandpa is old and can't drink anymore." "What are you, grandpa? We recognize him too," the two shouted loudly.
"I admit it, I admit it, I admit it all." The old man pulled away from Xiaoya, picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp. Xiaoya, who was a doctor, asked Wan Lin worriedly, "Is it okay for Grandpa to drink so much at his age?" Wan Lin said proudly.
He said, "It's okay, grandpa can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk." Several people were stunned when they heard this.
Wan Lin said to his grandfather, "Please give a show to these newly recognized grandchildren and granddaughters."
The old man smiled, sat on the bamboo stool and slowly raised his right hand to breathe. He saw a line of water shooting out from the middle finger of his right hand, spraying towards the torch 3 or 4 meters away, causing the torch to scatter sparks.
The rich aroma of Maotai liquor suddenly filled the forest with the flames.
"Thump!" Zhang Wa ran to her grandfather and knelt down on the ground. "You can't just recognize your grandson, but also your apprentice." Xiaoya pulled Rongrong and ran over and knelt down on the ground. "What kind of apprentice? He is a disciple. He also needs to recognize us."
"Be a disciple".
"Hahaha" the old man smiled cheerfully and pulled them up, "I admit it, I admit it all."
Early the next morning, Wan Lin, Zhang Wa and Grandpa walked out of the house and saw thick smoke billowing from the kitchen. Xiaoya and Rongrong, with black and white faces, were running out of the kitchen coughing and covering their noses.
The three of them hurried forward to greet each other. Xiaoya and Rongrong pointed at each other's big painted faces and bent over with smiles. The crisp laughter accompanied by the chirping of birds rippled in the mountains...
It turned out that the two of them had woken up early to prepare breakfast for them, with Xiaoya cooking and Rongrong lighting the fire. The two girls who grew up in the city poured dry and wet firewood into the stove, which naturally filled the room with smoke.
After breakfast, Xiaoya looked around and asked, "Where is my little flower?" She saw Xiaohua running down the hillside wagging her tail, holding a palm-sized, fat little leopard in her mouth. She came to Xiaoya and took Xiaohua
The leopard was placed at her feet, staring at Xiaoya and wagging its big tail at her.
Wan Lin looked at the astonished Xiaoya in surprise and said, "Sister, this is Xiaohua's gift to you."
Xiaoya bent over in surprise and picked up the little leopard on the ground and looked at it carefully: the little leopard's head and body were like two small balls connected together. It was furry, with yellow and black colors on its body, and it was staring at the two round little ones.
Looking at her curiously, she looked like a small little flower. Xiaoya was so happy that she kissed the little leopard repeatedly. At the same time, she picked up the little flower and kissed her hard, "Thank you, little flower."
Rongrong shouted in surprise, "Isn't this a little pom-pom? It's so cute. Let me hug it." Xiaoya couldn't put it down and avoided Rongrong. "Yes, let's call it a ball."
Grandpa came over and looked at Qiuqiu carefully and said in surprise, "This is the same species as Xiaohua. I have been in the mountains for decades and I have never seen this kind of animal except Xiaohua. This is a treasure! Xiaohua didn't come back all night.
I'm looking for it for you. Hey, it can't be its descendant."
Xiaoya caressed Qiuqiu and looked for food for it everywhere, but Qiuqiu turned her little round head aside when she smelled it. Xiaoya was so anxious that she called out, "Wan Lin, what does it eat?" Wan Lin said with a smile, "Xiao Hua."
, find something to eat for it." Xiaohua ran into the kitchen and took a large piece of raw hare meat and placed it at Xiaoya's feet. Xiaoya put Qiuqiu on the ground, and Qiuqiu immediately ate it hungrily.
Xiaoya and Rongrong gathered around Qiuqiu, staring blankly at the way it was eating. Grandpa came over and said with a smile, "This is the king of beasts. It only eats raw meat. What can it do if it can eat it?" After Qiuqiu finished eating the meat
He carefully crawled to Xiaohua and looked at it curiously. Xiaohua raised his front paws and stroked it gently.
Xiaoya quickly ran over, picked up Qiuqiu, and said to Xiaohua, "Be gentle, don't hurt it."
Zhang Wa ran over and begged grandpa to teach him kung fu. Rongrong and Xiaoya also came over. Grandpa looked at them, then came over and pinched their arms, patted their legs, nodded and said, "Not bad, you guys
All three of them are good materials for practicing martial arts. Xiao Zhang’s foundation is still very solid. However, it is best to start practicing martial arts when you are young. You are a little older. So, I will teach you a set of Qi training methods. Not only can you
Strengthening your body can also quickly improve your physical agility." Then he looked at his two granddaughters and said, "Girls are weak, let me teach you some quick self-defense skills."
Xiaoya quickly put the ball carefully beside her. Xiaohua ran up, picked up the ball on her back, and ran away. Xiaoya looked at Wan Lin worriedly, and Wan Lin smiled, "It's okay, Xiaohua took it to play with."
”.
Grandpa immediately asked them to sit cross-legged on the floor, and then explained the key points of Qi training.
Several people followed Grandpa and practiced each move attentively...
