My eyes lit up and I couldn't help but lick my dry lips. Could it be that there was a source of water nearby?

I was already hungry and thirsty when I was rushing through the road day and night. Even if I had dried food to fill my stomach, it would have made me feel extremely uncomfortable without water to quench my thirst. After listening carefully, the sound was indeed the sound of the waterfall falling. I was delighted and I rushed into the nearby mountains and forests and looked for the water source.

If you want to say that half of the things in the world live on it, including flowers, trees, birds and beasts, and there are many mountain people living on each mountainside. The so-called "living on the mountains and water" by the mountains. If you put aside the secular world, this place will be a wonderful paradise... Bypassing a mountain forest, in front of a mountain wall fault, I saw a waterfall falling vertically. I don't know how long the waterfall has appeared. In short, a huge pool of water has been smashed below. White water splashes have hovered in the pool for a long time before winding down the streams.

I smiled and said, "There is no end to the world. I never thought about it. I would come whatever I thought."

After rolling up my sleeves, I hurried to the pool, but before I could bend down to get the water, a voice suddenly came from the surrounding area: "Little brother... what are you doing? Don't scare my fish..."

The voice was a little old and very low, as if he was afraid that the loud voice would disturb something.

I was stunned for a moment and looked up. I saw an old man with a thin figure in gray and white clothes not far away, as if he was integrated with the colors of the surrounding rocks. The old man was holding a slender bamboo pole. One end of the bamboo pole was hanging a slender white line and went straight into the pool. The old man himself sat alone on a stone, quietly staring at the white line in the water.

It seems that I really came here to fish, but here is clearly halfway up the mountain of Buzhou Mountain. The water flows down here. Even some small fish are probably going to be dizzy if they are hit like this. Also, there are splashes around the pool, and the water flows shaking very much. It is not the best place to fish. But when I see the old man's concentrating expression, I smiled bitterly, and he was really excited...

I was stunned. This... I obviously had water to drink, but the old man stopped him from approaching him. It really made people feel very unhappy.

I quickly walked to the old man's side, and I lowered my voice slightly and said, "Uncle, I passed by here, just want to drink water and leave."

As I said that, as soon as I was about to step forward, the old man immediately stopped me. The old man blew his beard and said, "Little brother, have you seen me fishing? You just stretched your head out of it. If the fish is scared again when I see it, I can't catch the fish, will you compensate me if I can't catch it?"

"Uh..." I looked up at the waterfall and was speechless. The sound of the waterfall falling was deafening. If the fish were so timid, I would have scared them away such movements. I would have fiddled with some water to drink, but it would not work. This old man... "Uncle, then, I'll go downstairs to find some stream water to drink."

I sighed depressedly, and I walked down the stream and stopped not far away. But when I bent down to drink water, I suddenly stood up and saw an extremely smelly shoe rushing down the stream. As soon as I was about to retreat, the old man's urgent voice came: "Little brother, help me pick up my shoes, my shoes fell into the water."

My face was stunned and I rushed down to rush, but the water flow was somehow, and the more I got below, the more I was more anxious. There was no way, so I had to speed up my pace, picked up a branch, and finally hooked up the old man's shoes at a bend.

But the smell still made me frown. I don’t know how many years the old man hasn’t washed his feet. It’s true, alas.

Holding such a heavy-tasting thing in my hand, I was in the mood to drink water. I immediately turned around and climbed up. After going around, it took more than half an hour.

When he arrived at the edge of the pool, the old man smiled and said, "Thank you, little brother, you are such a good person."

I frowned and closed my breath, squeezed out a smile with difficulty, and reached out to hand the shoes to the old man. Just as the old man took the shoes, I finally couldn't help but turn around and retching...

He squatted on the stone and rested for a long time before he could barely come to his senses. At this time, the old man suddenly threw the bamboo pole in his hand aside and blew his beard and said, "I didn't think I couldn't catch one. This broken place really disappointed me, oh..."

I asked in surprise: "Uncle, where is your home?"

When the old man saw me, he felt much better and smiled and said, "My home is on the mountain. I am a little tired of fishing in the pool at the door of my house, so I want to try another place, haha."

Upon hearing this, I immediately opened my eyes wide and said in a trembling voice: "Living on the mountain, then, you are an old god."

The old man quickly glanced around and said anxiously: "Old immortal, where, where, oh... Is the old immortal that the little brother is talking about me? Hahaha, I am just an ordinary mortal, where is the old immortal? You are really good at joking."

I didn't believe it, and then asked, "Then why do you say you live in the mountain?"

When the old man heard this, he laughed happily and said, "It turns out that you are because of this. You little brother. Although my family is on the mountain, it is not just halfway up the mountain. It is at least thirty miles away from the top of Buzhou Mountain, haha."

"ah."

I raised my head in shock, looked at the distant top of the mountain, and murmured, "It's more than thirty miles away, it's too far..."

The old man smiled again and said, "Little brother, what I just said is the distance from my house. What if it is here..."

By the way, before I asked the old man's home how far is it from here, I immediately asked, "Then how far is it from here to your home."

The old man stretched out a finger slightly and said, "Not too much, it's only ten miles away."

"Ahem~~~"

I couldn't help but cough twice. This old man was having fun. There were still ten miles from his house here. So, isn't it more than forty miles from the top of the mountain? There are still four days left. No, if I pass today, there are still three days, three days left, how can I climb to the top of the mountain that is forty miles high?

I felt anxious and I hurriedly took a few sips of water. Just as I was about to turn around and leave, the old man suddenly called me and asked, "Little brother, you are going to the top of the mountain to seek the elixir."

I nodded quickly and said, "Yes, my old mother at home is seriously ill in bed. This time I went to the top of Mount Buzhou to find the gods to seek immortal medicine and treat my mother. Uncle, I don't have much time, so I won't bother you, so I will say goodbye."

After saying that, I was about to leave, but the old man called me again. The old man immediately stood up and said, "Then let's go..."

I was stunned for a moment, and as the old man walked over with me, I said in surprise: "Uncle, you won't fish anymore."

The old man laughed and said, "It's not too late, so I should go back too. Brother, if you don't dislike it, we might as well walk with you."

"This..." I looked up and down at the old man. He was so old that his legs would definitely not be fast. If I walked with him, it would be difficult for me to reach the top of the mountain for a month. However, since the old man said it, I couldn't refuse and said, "Then, okay, let's set off immediately."

I turned around and wanted to leave again, but the old man called me again. I almost cried anxiously and said, "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"

The old man looked down and smiled, "Little brother, it's easy to go down the mountain, but it's difficult to go up the mountain... If you don't dislike it, it's better for a good person to do it to the end and carry me for a long time."

"Ah, this..." I was in trouble again. If I walked with the old man on my back, I would definitely not be able to walk fast, and then time would be greatly delayed. But seeing that the old man was telling the truth, it was easy to go down the mountain and it was difficult to go up the mountain, let alone to get to the old man's house from here, there was still a ten-mile mountain road. After thinking about it, I made up my mind and squatted down and said, "Uncle, I will carry you away."

I was indeed slower with the old man on my back. On the one hand, I was worried about the old man's safety. If I accidentally fell down again, the sin would be great. On the other hand, I was worried about how to reach the top of the mountain for the rest of my time...

"Uncle, why are you still running so far when you catch a fish? If you can't meet me, wouldn't you have to walk for several days before you can go home?"

I comforted the old man all the way, not to go so far in the future, there might be some jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains. If I eat the old man again, I will not be able to deal with it for fishing.

The old man agreed and said, "Little brother, you are such a good person."

I cheered up and kept speeding up. Although it was slower than when I walked, I could only barely hold on. After walking about three miles of mountain road, I saw the sunset. So, one day has passed, and there are only three days left.

"Oh, little brother is not doing well."
