The colorful sparrow jumped out of the forest happily and stopped on the wooden bridge in an instant, looking at the old man bending down to catch fish in the lake.
His hair is white, his beard is white, and even his eyebrows are white. There is no trace of the vicissitudes of life on his face. His pupils are bright, his skin is red, and there are very few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes that make it difficult to guess his personality.
age.
The colorful sparrow screamed, and he suddenly turned around and said loudly and childishly: "What's your name, you dead colorful sparrow? Look at me, the old man, managed to keep the fish-catching posture motionless, and the dead fish leaf was just about to swim over,
If you start shouting, go somewhere else and don't disturb my old man fishing here."
The colorful sparrow seemed to understand his words, and flapped its wings and flew back into the forest.
After waiting for a long time, the dead leaf fish just didn't swim over. The old man shook his head helplessly and said, "I'll spare you today and catch you again tomorrow. It might as well wait until you grow up a little."
When I got to the bridge, I shook the water off my legs and jumped into a bamboo house. On the bed in the bamboo house lay a woman with her eyes closed. She seemed to have slept for a long, long time.
The old man walked to the bed, gently lifted the corner of the quilt, and took her hand to take her pulse. The old man's face was serious, and the stab wound on her wrist was shocking.
Covering the quilt again, he smiled and said: "You have to come back to life, otherwise my work will be in vain. Besides, you have almost eaten all the dead leaf fish in the lake. If my precious disciple comes back,
Well, maybe I will have to be scolded, and then you will have to take the scolding for me."
The woman still didn't respond, and the old man kept pacing back and forth. It seemed that he was worried about something.
Another two days passed. At noon, the woman slowly opened her eyes. Her mind went blank at first, and she stared at the tent ceiling in a daze. Then she suddenly thought clearly about a question: I am still alive, and I am not dead yet.
He wanted to move, but unexpectedly he was stiff and unconscious. Looking sideways, he saw that the furnishings in the room were exactly the same as his room in the Lost Forest? Could it be that the bamboo raft flowed into the Lost Forest as he expected? Then
Why was he lying on the bed again after losing consciousness? How long had he been lying there?
The door was opened, and a white-haired old man came in carrying a bowl. It seemed that the woman opened her eyes, put the bowl down happily, walked to the bed and said, "My aunt, you finally woke up, otherwise the lake
You will have to eat all the dead leaf fish that are alive inside."
What is he talking about? Isn’t the Dead Leaf Fish only found in the Lost Forest? Why does the old man with a big smile in front of me have it?
Seeing that she was silent, the old man continued: "Girl, tell me quickly, what is your name and where do you live?"
Seeing the impatient look on his face, the woman was a little confused. The old man spoke again, and said in an extremely exaggerated manner: "Please, tell me quickly so that I can send you home. Otherwise, if I don't see you,
The precious disciple I met saw you here and almost ate all the dead leaf fish she raised, so things are going to be big."
The woman couldn't help but twitch her lips, looked at him and said, "Old man, where are you?"
"Hehehe——." He smiled innocently like a child, and said with a very proud expression: "You don't know even after telling me, tell me your name, I really have to send you out quickly.
, because my disciple said that apart from me and his senior brother, only his son-in-law can come in. For the sake of my kindness in saving your life, please tell me quickly."
