Shan Yan looked at Gao Jing with a smile and patted his little granddaughter on the head.
He slowly took the ebony staff and twisted the head.
He actually pulled out a huge pipe!
Reaching into his waist bag, the old wizard from the mountain tribe took out a few dry leaves, rolled them up and stuffed them into the bowl.
His skinny fingers wiped the edge of the bucket wall.
A ball of flame appeared out of thin air and instantly ignited the yellow-brown tobacco leaves.
A wisp of green smoke followed.
"grandfather."
Shan Guoer immediately said: "I'll give you a slap on the back."
"Well."
The old wizard bit his cigarette holder and nodded happily.
Shan Guoer quickly moved a stool to the back of the old wizard, and then jumped on it.
She clenched her hands into fists and tapped the old wizard's shoulders and back skillfully, one after another.
What a cute little girl!
Gao Jing completely ignored the other party's size, only feeling that the scene in front of him was very warm.
The sky gradually darkened.
The old wizard lit the oil lamp on the table, and while smoking, he chatted a lot with Gao Jing.
The mountain tribe he belongs to is a very ancient tribe that has thrived in the wilderness for thousands of years.
A year ago, the mountain tribes had just migrated here from the swamp area thousands of miles away.
A new village was built.
The tribe currently has a population of more than 700 and has many totem warriors.
Since Gao Jing can't speak Dahuang dialect, even though he still has many questions and things he needs to know, he can only be an honest listener at the moment.
After talking about his tribe, the old wizard was in a lively conversation and told Gao Jing stories about his travels when he was young.
But Gao Jing still listened with interest.
His memory is now very strong. Although he cannot remember every word the old wizard said, he can remember the key points without any problem.
But as the old wizard talked, his eyes were no longer clear and bright, his eyelids kept fighting, his head knocked down from time to time, and he stopped smoking his pipe.
What is said begins to become slurred and reversed.
Gao Jing was confused after hearing this.
"grandfather."
Shan Guo'er next to her couldn't stand listening anymore, so she reached out and pushed her grandfather.
"ah."
The old wizard seemed to be waking up from a dream.
He looked around blankly, and then focused on Gao Jing again.
"Uh, where did I just say that?"
Gao Jing shrugged.
He couldn't even understand what the other party just said.
Shan Guoer pouted and said: "Grandpa, the moon has come out, you should go and rest."
"Ahhh."
The old wizard nodded: "I'm going to bed."
He inserted the pipe back into the wooden stick, stood up and walked towards the door.
"correct!"
After taking two steps, the old wizard stopped again.
Patting his bald head in annoyance, he turned around and said to Gao Jing: "Look at my memory. By the way, guests from the abyss, you can stay here tonight."
"It's very safe here. No one else in the tribe will break in without my permission."
"in addition…"
The old wizard told his granddaughter: "Shang Guo'er, go get some food for the guests."
"Do not bother."
Gao Jing waved his hand, opened his backpack and took out a large bag of dry food and said, "I have my own food."
Although the storage space of the copper anchor is very convenient, accessing items requires the power of faith, so Gao Jing still stores some commonly used items, including food and drinks, in his backpack.
He didn't see that the other party had prepared dinner, maybe he had already eaten it, so he wouldn't bother the little girl anymore.
And if the food doesn't suit your taste, it's not good to eat it, and it's not good to not eat it either.
So I just declined.
"That's fine."
The old wizard followed his kindness and said: "Shan Guo'er, then you go back with grandpa to rest first."
"Um."
Shan Guoer nodded vigorously and held his withered hand.
The old wizard said goodbye to Gao Jing: "I'm sorry."
Gao Jing quickly bowed and saluted.
Taking the old wizard and the little yellow dog, Shan Guoer left the wooden house.
The old wizard's residence is next to it.
Another wooden house.
When she came into the room, she said softly to her grandfather: "Grandpa, that little man is a little strange."
Although Gao Jing looks pitifully weak, the little yellow dog can beat him ten times.
But the little girl always felt that something was wrong.
The old wizard lit the oil lamp and sat down on the wooden bed.
He held his granddaughter's hand, his eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said earnestly: "Shan Guo'er, each of us has our own secret."
"You have to remember not to explore other people's secrets easily, because that is a great offense to others."
How could the old wizard not notice something strange about Gao Jing?
The ancient relics he had met were also very different from Gao Jing.
But the old wizard would not go to great lengths to discover Gao Jing's secrets unless Gao Jing showed hostility to the hill tribes.
The wilderness is vast, and countless tribes have been buried for thousands of years.
In addition to irresistible natural disasters, man-made disasters are also the root cause of the demise of many tribes.
The mountain tribes have been able to survive to this day, and of course they have their own way of survival.
Among them is "caution".
Shan Guoer nodded in understanding.
She was too young to understand the wisdom contained in the old wizard's words.
But the little girl listens to grandpa the most.
"Go ahead."
The old wizard's eyelids began to fight again: "Grandpa is going to bed. Don't play too late and go to bed early."
He is too old.
If you talk too much when you are old, you will lose your energy and become unresponsive.
But he could not relieve himself of the burden of protecting the tribe and guiding the people.
"Um."
Shan Guoer helped the old wizard lie down on the bed.
After watching her grandfather fall asleep, she quietly blew out the oil lamp and left the house with the little yellow dog.
At this moment, Gao Jing was in a very uneasy mood.
Because he just saw another side of this big world.
Then there is the existence of extraordinary power!
Just the word "wizard" is enough to bring endless associations to Gao Jing.
The feeling that the old wizard Shan Yan gave him was even more unfathomable.
Saying Xiao Talisman, rubbing fingers to light fire, these are not magic tricks, but real magical power!
Gao Jing couldn't help but wonder, could he learn and master this power?
Thinking about it makes me excited.
Zhiqua~
Just as Gao Jing was thinking about it, the door was opened again.
Shan Guoer is back.
She was taking the little yellow dog with her, and she was holding one in her hand...
Bird's nest?
Gao Jing was a little confused.
He saw the little girl come over and jump onto the chair, placing the bird's nest in front of him.???
Gao Jing had a question mark on his face.
The bird's nest is a real bird's nest, with a diameter of two meters and a height of more than half a meter. It can be used as a big bathtub if it doesn't leak.
In addition to the densely packed dead branches and grass stems, there are a few gray feathers stuck to it.
What left Gao Jing most speechless was that he saw an egg.
A blue bird egg bigger than a basketball!
Gao Jing doesn’t understand.
He looked at the bird's nest and then at the mountain fruits.
What does this mean?
Shan Guoer tilted his head, suddenly reached out and grabbed the bird egg, and brought it to his mouth.
She raised her head, opened her mouth, put the egg against her teeth and chewed it hard.
Snapped!
The eggshell cracked, and the egg white and yolk inside suddenly flowed out.
Gulu!
Shan Guoer swallowed all the egg liquid in one gulp and licked her lips with unsatisfied taste.
She threw the broken eggshell on the ground.
The little yellow dog immediately pounced on it and swallowed it clean.
After eating the eggs, the little girl pointed to the empty bird's nest and said in a sweet voice, "You can sleep here at night."
She looks a bit fierce.
Gao Jing finally understood and couldn't laugh or cry.
Ganqing was afraid that he would have no place to sleep, so he specially brought a bird's nest over.
I got myself some extra food by the way.
But for some reason, there was a hint of warmth in his heart.
After thinking for a while, Gao Jing opened his backpack and took out two chocolate energy bars.
He tore open the plastic outer packaging, bit into one of the energy bars, and raised the other one high.
Hand it to the little girl.
Shan Guoer was stunned for a moment.
Gao Jing patiently maintained his raised movements while showing a friendly smile on his face.
Slowly bite the long energy bar into your mouth and eat it.
Shan Guoer understood what Gao Jing meant.
She hesitated for a moment, then cautiously extended her right hand.
Use your thumb and index finger to gently pinch the energy bar handed over by Gao Jing.
puff!
The chocolate energy bar instantly turned into powder between her fingers.
Gao Jing smiled bitterly.
Although the energy bar he carried was more than ten centimeters long, it was too small for Shan Guoer.
Shan Guoer raised her fingers covered with chocolate powder, suddenly stuck out her tongue and licked her fingers.
Her eyes suddenly lit up.
Gao Jing swears.
At this moment, he really saw the light in the little girl's eyes.
Bright and bright, the light of joy and happiness!——
