Metaphysical Talisman Wife Fortune-telling Spirit: Orion eats chaff and I eat meat

One of the hunters' innate skills is finding their way in the vast mountains and forests.

Xiao Luoyi didn't know how he did it. Anyway, when he climbed a certain ridge, he would suddenly see the official road in the valley in the distance.

In other words: they have been walking in the direction of the official road and have not lost it.

Chen Huaijin put her down and inspected the area first before feeling reassured: "It's convenient for you here, I'll stand guard for you."

Xiao Luoyi's cheeks were slightly red, he quickly solved the physical problem, and then said: "Let's go."

Chen Huaijin stopped not far away: "There is a spring here. It is rare that it is not frozen at this time. How about eating here at noon?"

Xiao Luoyi: "Okay."

In the clearing of the icy and snowy valley, two people spread waterproof linoleum on the ground, set up pots and started boiling water to cook and eat. They looked relaxed and in a happy mood.

After finishing the meal, Chen Huaijin patted himself on the back: "Come up."

The couple set out again.

This time, when it was getting late, I stood on the mountain and saw that the city gate was still some distance away. I walked over and closed it. Chen Huaijin said, "Looking for a place to pitch a tent?"

Xiao Luoyi said yes.

But as soon as the tent was taken out, Chen Huaijin saw something in the distance: "There's a family there, why don't we stay overnight?"

Xiao Luoyi looked at the place and saw a lonely cabin built in the mountain nest. If it weren't for the bonfire at dusk, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

When Chen Huaijin carried Xiao Luoyi on his back and arrived not far from the cabin, a fat and strong yellow dog rushed out: "Woof, woof, woof..."

Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin stopped in their tracks.

The big yellow dog obviously didn't want the two of them to pass by like this, and kept barking warnings.

The big yellow dog barked wildly, looked at Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin warily, and turned to look in the direction of the room.

"Dahuang, don't scream...cough cough cough!"

An old voice came from the cabin, and then an old man with a rickety back came out.

Xiao Luoyi was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at the old man and then at the big yellow dog.

"Old man, we're lost, and we want to stay here for a night." Chen Huaijin had already stepped forward to answer, with a very good tone and attitude.

The old man's beard and hair were gray, and he was obviously sick.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Chen Huaijin and Xiao Luoyi, and explained while coughing: "Ahem, cough, cough... It's not that I don't want to keep two of them, but my little shack is too small, and there is only one bed in total..."

Chen Huaijin had already seen it clearly: this cabin was indeed very small, just like the house built by hunters in the mountains for temporary shelter. Cooking, eating, and sleeping were all in one room.

How could the two of them live in a house with four walls? !

Staying overnight is definitely out of the question.

Chen Huaijin was ready to leave immediately: "That's because we are disturbing you, so let's..."

Xiao Luoyi suddenly said, "Shall we set up a tent next to here? His big yellow dog is very in charge of things, and it just happens to be a sentinel for us at night, so that we don't know when a blind bear or something is coming."

As soon as he finished speaking, the big yellow dog barked "woof" twice and looked at Xiao Luoyi with his head tilted, as if he was a little confused.

Yo!

“Does this dog understand?!”

Chen Huaijin sighed in surprise.

The old man also smiled when he saw Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin focusing on the big yellow dog.

"My Rhubarb is such a good dog. There were several times when the family ran out of food, and it was only because he went into the mountains to hunt prey that I survived..."

As the old man proudly narrated, the big yellow dog obediently leaned at the old man's feet, purred twice, and lay down. Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin smiled when they heard this, but they were surprised in their hearts.

Nothing else, this big yellow dog is so humane!

According to the old man, the big yellow dog can not only be on guard, but can also hunt, and can also help dig up Polygonatum japonica, wild yam and other things in the mountains.

Usually when the old man has something to do, he leaves for a while. This dog can also help look after the fire, and is very skilled in loading and unloading firewood...

In a word: The old man's survival in this deep mountain and old forest is all because of this dog.

"Woooo..." The big yellow dog rubbed the old man's leg, held his trouser leg in its mouth, and walked inside.

"Dahuang, I got it. Are you afraid that I'll catch a cold again..." The uncle smiled and invited Chen Huaijin and Xiao Luoyi to go into the house. "Look at me, I forget about it as soon as I start talking. Let's go in and warm up by the fire." "

Xiao Luoyi and Chen Huaijin looked at each other and entered the house together.

There were a few tree stumps used as benches in the house, and the rest was a wooden bed, which was cushioned with thatch and a tattered quilt.

The three-legged table was propped up in the corner with wood, and there was a small handful of brown rice left in a stoneware vat underneath.

Everything is clear at a glance!

Dahuang took the branch in his mouth and carefully pushed it into the fire pit. Then he stuck out his tongue and cupped the old man's leg, gesturing for him to warm himself up by the fire.

After the old man asked Chen Huaijin and Xiao Luoyi to sit down, he picked up half of the gourd and water ladle from the side. After looking around, he stuffed it directly into Chen Huaijin's hand.

Chen Huaijin: "!!!"

The old man shouted hurriedly: "Dahuang, you can't do this!"

Seeing Chen Huaijin and Xiao Luoyi's confused faces, the old man apologized apologetically: "Dahuang knows that I have been coughing and my legs hurt these days, so I want you to fetch water and boil water to drink."

Xiao Luoyi couldn't help but laugh, and reached out to pat Da Huang on the head: "You know how to pick people, you know he is the strongest!"

Chen Huaijin smiled and took the water ladle and kettle and went out to fetch water to boil.

The big yellow dog gave Xiao Luoyi a flattering chuckle twice, then carefully stretched out his leg to tug at Xiao Luoyi's hand. Then he came close to the old man and stretched out his leg to tug at the old man's leg.

Then the big yellow dog looked at Xiao Luoyi eagerly.

Xiao Luoyi's eyes widened: "You want me to treat him?"

"Woo..." The big yellow dog nodded repeatedly, and then continued to look at Xiao Luoyi eagerly.

Xiao Luoyi is really stupid if he can no longer see the clues.

She counted with her fingers, her expression changed slightly, and then she took a closer look at the old man's face, and she understood everything instantly.

The smile faded and Xiao Luoyi nodded: "Sure, I'll treat him."

"Woooooooo..." The big yellow dog ran out in a flash.

"Hey! Where are you going? It's getting dark!" The old man became anxious and shouted towards the door.

Xiao Luoyi comforted the old man: "Don't worry, this dog is smart and it will be fine."

If it weren't for repaying its kindness, why would it stay in this deep mountain forest and patiently accompany an old man who was abandoned by his relatives?

It also works hard to hunt, find food, and take care of the old man's health...

Chen Huaijin had already brought water in. While adding firewood to light the fire, he asked the old man: "You live here alone, where are your family members?"

When he mentioned this, the smile on the old man's face disappeared, he sighed, and said: "It's not easy for them either..."

Chen Huaijin looked at Xiao Luoyi in shock.

Xiao Luoyi nodded slightly: The old man is right.

He did have descendants, but he was abandoned by his son and daughter-in-law when he became old, in poor health, and unable to do anything.
