Sleeping Arhat

Chapter 36 Meeting Xiaozhao

After leaving the restaurant, Wu Xian was afraid that Granny Jinhua would chase her, so she kept running towards the due west. Granny Jinhua is one of the four kings of the Ming Cult, the Zishan Dragon King. After practicing kung fu for four or five years, it is estimated that he will be able to fight with him.

After walking for about half an hour, Wu Xian hid on the branch of a big pine tree on the mountainside. Seeing from a distance, no one was chasing him. The meaning, otherwise it should have been chased by this time.

Before he knew it, Wu Xian had already reached the side of the mountain where Tianfengzhai was stationed. After walking for a while, Wu Xian circumvented the mountain, walking briskly, getting lighter and lighter as he walked, his body kept resting on the branches. He was galloping, grasping the branches with both hands and swinging back and forth, then let go of his hands and jumped into the distance.

After a while, the green trees in my eyes stood tall and straight in the forest, the sound of clear springs in the distance and the sound of clear bells rang through my ears, and the birds flew and circled briskly among the branches and in the sky, "Go and wash your face." Wu Xian muttered softly Said, then happily ran to the side of the stream, clasped the water with both hands and slapped the water on the face, the stream was very cool and sweet.

Sitting on the bluestone and laying down for a while, the sound of the clear spring water in my ears seemed to be not pure, and there seemed to be a little girl's chirping sound like a clear bell, but the sound seemed to be similar to the sound of water flow, with a slight twist. The difference made Wu Xian depressed: Why do I think the girl is crazy?How can I hallucinate.

There was a loud sound of 'dong' and a girl's scream of 'ah'. Wu Xian was sure that he was not hallucinating, so he hurried to the upper stream, presumably because the girl encountered some difficulties and stepped on the gravel by the river. , only turned a corner, and saw the girl.

From a distance, I saw the girl stepping on the stream, the coarse cloth skirt was dragged down by the clear spring, and she was trying to lift a bundle of firewood to the shore, but the bundle of firewood seemed to be stuck on two stones, It was soaked in stream water again, and became wet and heavy. No matter how hard the little girl tried, the bundle of firewood did not move.

Wu Xian called her a little girl about nine or ten years old, with a small body and beautiful black hair tied on her head, very cute.Wu Xian had a gentlemanly smile on his face, and he said softly, "Little sister, do you need help?"

The little girl stood in the stream, raised her misty face, and looked at Wu Xian with her pretty, watery eyes. Those eyes flickered, as if wondering why Wu Xian came here suddenly.

Wu Xian explained with a smile: "I just washed my face and drank water under the stream, and I heard some voices by chance, so I came up to have a look." The little girl didn't speak, and looked at Wu Xian silently. You see, the little girl's eyes are deep and energetic, her eyes have a hint of sea blue, her skin is white and crystal clear like jade, her nose is also high, her cheeks have pear dimples, and there is still some baby fat on her face with a small melon seed, she is very aura and cute girl.

With just one glance, Wu Xian knew that this girl must not be an ordinary farmer's daughter. Wu Xian stretched out his hand, pulled the little girl ashore, and then said, "This firewood is too heavy, do you need help?" The little girl shook her head like a yellow eagle. A light voice said: "Thank you brother, no need, I can mention it myself."

So, the little girl bent down and lifted the small bundle of wet firewood with great effort. Her little face was covered with sweat, and her fair face became flushed due to the exertion. After walking a few steps, the bundle of firewood suddenly thumped. Falling to the ground, the little girl stuck out her tongue shyly and embarrassedly, her face became even more rosy.

Wu Xian rolled his eyes helplessly, so he had to go over and lift it up with one hand, then walked in front, and said, "I'll help you carry it, you guide me the way, I just happened to be thirsty after a long journey, give me some water later , as a reward."

The little girl replied softly, but her face was still red because of the previous embarrassment. Along the way, Wu Xian walked in front with ease, and said, "My name is Wu Xian, what's your name, why are you so young? Go up the mountain to collect firewood, don't you know that there are many poisonous insects and beasts on the mountain? If you are not careful, you will be eaten by wild wolves." Wu Xian howled and threatened.

"Hmph, Xiao Zhao is not afraid. I went up the mountain to collect firewood to make my father and mother less tired." The little girl raised her head and said.

"Haha, filial piety is commendable, next time you better not get too much firewood, don't be unable to carry it by yourself." Wu Xian laughed.But I secretly thought in my heart: It seems right, this must be the girl Xiaozhao who will be next to Master Zhang in the future. Granny Jinhua came to Weinan for her, but I didn't expect that Granny Jinhua actually took Xiaozhao into foster care. In a small village near Weinan.

Wu Xian knew that Xiao Zhao was also very smart and intelligent, no less than Zhao Min and Zhou Zhiruo, even though Xiao Zhao was only a nine or ten girl, Wu Xian did not ask too much about her situation, lest arouse suspicion and resentment .

As the two walked, Wu Xian also told some anecdotes about his adventures in the rivers and lakes, as well as snow-capped mountains and plateaus, cliffs, boundless deserts, and vast forests, which aroused the little girl's beautiful fantasy about the world even more.

The time passed quickly, and it slipped away in the blink of an eye. In a blink of an eye, I came to Linyu Village along the mountain road. At this time, the little girl was bouncing towards the door of her house. The wooden house is located in the yard. There is a ginkgo tree in the yard, and there is a small vegetable field with some vegetables and fruits.

When the little girl opened the courtyard door and was about to fetch water, a bad feeling came over her. Wu Xian quickly turned around and saw that it was really like a nightmare. Granny Jinhua came walking step by step on crutches.

Wu Xian ran to Xiao Zhao's side all of a sudden, and asked with some guilt: "Xiao Zhao, do you know that mother-in-law?"

Xiao Zhao's eyes followed Wu Xian's gaze, just in time to see Granny Jinhua walking towards her with a blank face, Xiao Zhao's face was a little hesitant, but she suddenly felt relieved, and then said softly, "I know that mother-in-law."

Wu Xian asked anxiously: "Xiao Zhao, will that mother-in-law hurt you?" Xiao Zhao thought for a while, then said hesitantly, "Probably not."

"Then Xiao Zhao will let you use it." After finishing speaking, Wu Xian hid behind Xiao Zhao, bowing his body as much as possible, so as not to expose half of his body, Xiao Zhao looked a little dumbfounded, seeing Wu Xian hiding behind Xiao Zhao like a little tail. Behind him, he was not as knowledgeable and majestic as the story about the rivers and lakes he told before.

Wu Xian yelled loudly: "Grandma Jinhua, there is no grudge between us, if I offend you, I apologize to you now, mother-in-law, and you don't need to attack me again and again."
