In Hu Hongde's view, animals are animals, and they cannot produce intelligence like humans. He still doesn't believe that this little guy can identify the smell of mink fur. If Ye Tian hadn't insisted, he would have given away the mink coat.
brought.
So when he looked at Maotou at this moment, Hu Hongde was quite disapproving. At the same time, he looked at Maotou with his old hunter's eyes. This snow-white hair was quite good.
"Okay, Mao Tou, don't make trouble, this is Lao Hu, please get to know him!"
Ye Tian pulled the hair off his shoulders. Every time this little guy protested, he always made his hair look like a chicken coop.
"Chichi...chichi!"
Mao Tou tilted his head and glanced at Hu Hongde. Suddenly, the hair on his body exploded, and he screamed sharply, his voice was extremely shrill, and he jumped towards Hu Hongde.
"Damn, I know you're not worried!"
Ye Tian reacted very quickly. When Mao Tong screamed, he pinched its neck, turned to look at Hu Hongde, and said angrily: "Old Hu, put away your murderous aura, or you will be scratched by it.
, I don’t care!”
"I...I don't have the intention to kill it!" Seeing that he was so unpopular, Hu Hongde said angrily, and at the same time restrained his breath.
After being frozen by the strange stone and being treated by Ye Tian, Hu Hongde not only eliminated many of his hidden illnesses, but also improved his skills a lot.
In recent days, Ye Tian has also taught him some skills on how to breathe in and restrain his aura. Now if Hu Hongde faced off against Meng Xiazi, he would definitely not suffer the same loss as last time.
Seeing the disapproving look on Hu Hongde's face, Ye Tian said angrily: "Old Hu, don't be dissatisfied. If Mao Tou grabs your paw, I guarantee you won't even think about moving for two hours."
Maotou's claws contain a toxin that can paralyze the central nervous system of a person. Although it will not kill people, it can make people lose their resistance instantly. After Maotou swallowed the King Kong Cobra, this ability also
stronger.
"Can I be caught by it? There are so many wild beasts in Changbai Mountain, and none of them are not afraid of me!" Hu Hongde shook his head disapprovingly. He has been practicing the Eagle Claw Kung Fu since he was a child, specifically to restrain these animals.
Moreover, he had killed countless mountain creatures, and the evil aura on his body was extremely strong. Except for the black dragon that he had seen a few days ago, which beast in Changbai Mountain would not run away in panic after seeing it?
"Old Hu, brag so hard. Why didn't you say this when you saw the black dragon?" Ye Tian looked at Hu Hongde with a half-smile but not a smile. The old man looked like a frightened rabbit at that time. You should be more careful.
careful.
"Can it be compared with a dragon?" Hu Hongde muttered unconvincedly.
"In a few decades, Mao Tou may not be worse than Black Jiao!"
Ye Tian glared at Hu Hongde. Although the hairy head is not as capable of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth as the black dragon, it is also consciously absorbing spiritual energy. Sooner or later, it will embark on the same path as the black dragon.
Reaching out to comfort Mao Tou, Ye Tian said: "Mao Tou, Lao Hu is a guest. Stop making trouble. I'll get you something delicious later!"
After hearing Ye Tian's words, Maotou waved his paw at Hu Hongde, but the explosive hair subsided. He could feel that the man in front of him had a very evil spirit and was not a good person.
"Chichi...chichi!"
Maotou sniffed suddenly, then rushed to Ye Tian's shoulder, stretched out his small claws and pulled out the skin bag on Ye Tian's chest. Before Ye Tian could react, he took out the stone.
The cold air that made Ye Tiandu a little bit hard to resist, seemed to Mao Tou to be a great tonic. After the little guy took out the ink stone, he screamed with joy and held it tightly in his chest with his two paws.
In front of him, there was an intoxicated look in his eyes.
"Ye...Ye Tian, you...I believe what you said!" Hu Hongde was stunned by Mao Tou's move.
You know, he almost froze to death just by touching the ink stone, but Mao Tou hugged it whole in his arms, and the difference was immediately clear.
"Maybe animals are more resistant to the cold, right?"
Seeing Mao Tou looking like such a treasure, Ye Tian was not afraid that it would break the inkstone. He looked at Hu Hongde and said, "Let's go and move the things in. Senior Brother is probably waiting inside!"
"Hey, Ye Tian, your yard is a little weird? Is the air fresher than in Changbai Mountain?"
After picking up the box and walking a few steps inside, Hu Hongde felt the difference in the courtyard. For someone like him who has lived in the mountains for a long time, he is very sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment.
"Of course, don't look at who lives where?"
Ye Tian explained the formation to Hu Hongde and led him around the hanging flower gate in the front yard. When he walked to the middle yard, he saw Gou Xinjia tending to the flowers and plants at a glance.
"Senior Brother, I'm back!" Ye Tian put the box in his hand on the ground, pulled Hu Hongde over, and said, "Senior Brother, look, who did I bring here?"
"When I heard Mao Tou call me, I knew it was you who came back. This kid is the only one who is so affectionate to you."
Gou Xin's family put the flower-cutting scissors aside, looked at Hu Hongde, and said with a smile: "I have been away from the mainland for so many years. This little friend should be a descendant of an old friend, right?"
Although Hu Hongde's beard and hair were all white, Gou Xinjia was so discerning that he could tell his age from the energy and blood in his body at a glance, but he was unable to recognize Hu Hongde's identity.
You know, when the Gou Xin family met Hu Hongde, he was only an eight or nine-year-old child. Over the past fifty or sixty years, Hu Hongde's appearance has also undergone great changes.
"Uncle, I...I am Dewazi, you...don't you recognize me?"
At this time, Hu Hongde had already thrown his luggage on the ground, fell to his knees like a jade pillar pushing down a mountain of gold, kowtowed hard, and said in a choked voice: "Uncle, Dewazi kowtows to you!"
Friendship is the most important thing among Jianghu people. Gou Xin's family took Hu Hongde out of Changbai Mountain through life and death, and then took care of him for more than a month. Although decades have passed, Hu Hongde never dares to forget this kindness!
When he raised his head again, Hu Hongde was already in tears. He walked three steps on his knees and came to Gou Xin's house, and bowed down again.
"Good man!"
Seeing Hu Hongde showing his true feelings, Ye Tian couldn't help but burst into tears. He was a young man in the world back then, but now he is a silver-haired old man, but the friendship in his heart has not diminished at all!
"De... Dewazi? Is... is it really you?!" Even though Gou Xin's family had been away from the world for many years and Gujing Wubo had already practiced Taoism, after hearing Hu Hongde's words, his figure couldn't help but tremble slightly.
After being away from the mainland for so many years, Gou Xin's family had long thought that all the old friends had turned into a bowl of loess. When he suddenly saw the younger generation from the past, he was also very excited.
"Uncle, it's me, my Dewazi. I didn't expect that Dewazi could see you again!"
Hu Hongde was a very affectionate person. Ever since his father passed away, he had been supporting the family alone. Now that he saw his elders, all the emotions he had suppressed deep in his heart came out.
"Good! Good! What a good boy!"
Gou Xinjia looked up to the sky and said three good words. The sound of his voice shook the leaves of the locust trees in the courtyard, which showed that he was also in agitated mood at this moment.
"Zi Dewa, the man has gold at his knees, get up and speak!"
Gou Xinjia flicked his right sleeve and put it on Hu Hongde's hand. Hu Hongde, who was over 1.8 meters tall, was lifted up by Gou Xinjia lightly.
After wiping a handful of tears on his body, Hu Hongde showed a smile on his face and said, "Uncle, are you almost ninety years old? You have such incredible strength!"
Gou Xinjia was born in 1910 and is already eighty-nine years old. However, he often ate Polygonatum japonicum in the mountains, and the lineage of Mai originally cultivated the surname, so he looked like he was only in his early sixties.
Look.
Gou Xinjia took Hu Hongde's hand, made him sit down on a stone chair in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "You brat, you didn't listen to me when I asked you to learn Taoism, and you didn't want to practice the techniques passed down from your family.
Do you know you regret it now?"
Hu Hongde had excellent bones. Originally, Gou Xin's family wanted to bring him into the lineage of Mai, and they also communicated with Hu Yunbao and took him to Jiangnan when they left Changbai Mountain.
It's just that although Hu Hongde was young at that time, he was very stubborn. Firstly, he was reluctant to let go of his father, who was dependent on him. Secondly, he was only interested in the kung fu passed down by his family, and was unwilling to leave with the Gou Xin family.
"Uncle, wasn't it that I was ignorant back then? I want to learn now, but it's too late!"
Hu Hongde let out a long sigh. It's really hard to tell what happened to this person. Often a small thing can change the fate of his life. This is why numerology is difficult to deduce.
"Uncle, you...what's wrong with your arm?"
In his excitement just now, Hu Hongde never noticed Gou Xinjia's left arm, but now that Gou Xinjia was pouring him tea, he noticed the empty sleeve.
"It's okay. I was injured a little back then, and it's all gone." Gou Xinjia smiled, waved his hand, and asked, "Dewazi, when did my Clouded Leopard brother return? You... you tell him his condition.
Let me tell you!"
Hu Yunbao was older than Gou Xin's family, but when Gou Xin's family rescued Hu Yunbao's villagers and the two became sworn sworn brothers, he respected Gou Xin's family as his brother.
The Gou Xin family had numerous acquaintances in the Qimen world, and the only one who was sworn brother was Hu Yunbao. Naturally, he was very concerned about the fate of this brother.
"My father went into hiding in Changbai Mountain again after liberation. He passed away in 1967. When he died, he was still thinking about you. He asked me to find you and take care of you in my lifetime..."
Speaking of the past, Hu Hongde couldn't help but feel sad, not only for his old father who killed the enemy in the war of resistance, but also for Gou Xinjia who lost an arm in front of him!
