Wu Family Sword Spirit

Chapter 778: Feeling like old friends when we first met
The old man was stunned for a long time, and then he walked towards us. As he walked, he asked the old lady on my back: "Old lady... what... is this going on?"

"I went to the forest in front today to find some food. Unexpectedly, I encountered a herd of wild boars and injured my leg. If I hadn't met this young man, I'm afraid you, old man, wouldn't have been able to see me..."

The old lady patted my shoulder and motioned for me to put her down.

Just as it happened, the old man had already walked over. Before I could put the old lady down, the old man cupped his hands and said very politely: "Thank you so much, little friend. It's a great kindness that I will never forget. Come on." Come, please come and sit in the room..."

I exchanged a few pleasantries but didn't say much.

As he said that, the old man took the old lady off my body, carefully inspected the old lady's wounds, and said with some complaint: "You old lady already has wounds on your body, I told you not to walk around. You just didn’t listen, so it’s okay now. If this little friend hadn’t rescued you, you really wouldn’t have been able to come back..."

Although he complained a little, the old man still supported the old lady and walked into the thatched house, and I followed closely.

The furnishings in this thatched house are very simple, all the furniture is handmade, even the tea bowls placed on the table are made of bamboo tubes, except for an iron kettle for boiling water and an iron pot for cooking.

It seems that the couple is living a life similar to that of an ascetic monk.

After entering the room, after the guests and hosts were divided into seats, the old man couldn't wait to ask me how I came here.

I immediately told the old man the reason I was about to tell the old lady.

The old man didn't doubt it was fake and just nodded silently.

At this time, when the old man and the old lady were standing together, I discovered something particularly interesting. This couple looked to be at least over 90 years old, with wrinkles on their faces that looked like dried orange peels. , but their hair is as black as ink, darker than my hair, which makes me feel a little strange.

After chatting for a while, the old man was busy making tea for me. I reached out and brought it over. Before I drank it, I felt a refreshing fragrance that hit my nostrils.

The old lady explained: "This tea is wild tea that grows in this valley. The water is mountain spring water, but it has its own taste. I don't have anything good to entertain my benefactor. I hope you will forgive me..."

"You're welcome, old man. Don't say anything about benefactors and not benefactors. I didn't contribute much. All the credit belongs to the flame unicorn beast next to me. Besides, if other people see this kind of thing, they won't sit idly by. It doesn't matter." I said humbly.

However, the old man said: "Don't say that. I have dealt with those group of wild boars before. They are very vicious and there are not a few in them. Most people will just run away when they encounter them. How can there be any little friends?" It’s such a generous way of helping each other.”

I smiled slightly and didn't answer. I just picked up the tea and took a sip. I suddenly felt the fragrance lingering on my lips and teeth, and it penetrated my heart. It was really the best tea in the world. Compared with the teas I drank before, I felt like it was the best tea in the world. It's just foot washing water.

"Good tea!" I praised it profusely.

The old man smiled slightly and added: "If you think it tastes good, please drink more, little friend. Wild tea in the mountains cannot be considered elegant. The couple of us have lived in this valley for decades, and have worked hard to We haven’t seen anyone in practice for a long time, so we are very happy that our little friend can come.”

As he said that, the old man glanced at the old lady beside him and said, "Old lady, I haven't seen you for a long time. I have prepared the ingredients and am about to cook. Go and get the old bacon hanging outside. Come out, cook a delicious meal, and entertain our benefactor."

The old lady responded and immediately stood up.

I quickly put down the tea in my hand and said: "I can't do it... I can't do it. The old man has an injury on his leg and can't move much. I have food and drink with me, so I won't bother you two..."

"It doesn't matter. I have prepared everything. All I have to do is cook. When I first met my little friend, we became like old friends. Let the old lady cook. How about we have a good chat?" the old man said with a slight smile. .

It was hard to refuse such hospitality, and I couldn't put it off. The old lady had already turned around and limped out, which made me feel a little sorry.

After the old lady left, the old man and I had a simple chat.

He first asked me about my life experience, and then I repeated to him what I said to the old lady.

Half truth and half lie, naturally I didn’t tell him that I came here to learn my skills, I just said I came here to pick up something.

Then, I asked about the couple's situation, and what the old lady said was similar. In addition, I got his last name. The old man said that his last name was Fu and that he moved here when the Great Patriotic War broke out. I have been out to this valley once or twice, and I found that the outside world has changed drastically, and it has changed too much, and I can't adapt to the life outside at all, so I moved here again and don't plan to leave here.

The old man asked me most questions about my life experience. I was always vague and did not dare to reveal too much.

After about an hour, it got completely dark, and the old lady said that the meal was ready.

The old man responded, went out immediately, and brought out the prepared meals one by one. I also went over to help him.

The food was quite fresh, but I couldn't eat some of it. I saw a whole plate of half-cooked worms fried, and some things similar to plant roots. I couldn't tell what they were, even the stew in the big bowl. The old bacon had all kinds of bugs floating on it. As soon as I saw this, my mind immediately thought of the Shiquan Dabu soup that my grandfather made for me.

I haven’t eaten this thing for a long time, but I don’t have much appetite now.

After the meal was ready, the old couple invited me to sit around the round table.

The people treated me warmly, so I couldn't lose my courtesy. I immediately took out some food from the Eight Treasures Bag of Qiankun, put it on the wooden table, and invited the two old people to eat with me.

The things I took out included vacuum-packed pig ears, grilled chicken, some ham sausages and bread, and I also took out two bottles of good wine.

I thought that the two old people should be a little surprised when they saw that I made so many things out of the eight treasures bag like a magic trick, but they were very indifferent to this matter, but they were very indifferent to the good things I took out. Very interested in what to eat.
