    My eyes lit up and I couldn't help but lick my dry lips. Could it be that there was a water source nearby?  After driving day and night, I was already hungry and thirsty. Even though I had dry food to satisfy my hunger, I felt extremely uncomfortable without water to quench my thirst. After listening carefully, I found that the sound was indeed the sound of a waterfall falling. I was overjoyed, and I hurriedly  Rush into the nearby forest and look for the water source.  Speaking of Buzhou Mountain, half of everything in the world lives on it, including flowers, plants, trees, birds and beasts, and there are many mountain people living in every section of the mountainside. The so-called people living on the mountain rely on the mountain and the water. If you put aside the secular world, this place is completely  It is a wonderful paradise I walked around a mountain forest and in front of a mountain wall fault, I saw a waterfall falling vertically. I don¡¯t know how long this waterfall has been there. In short, a huge pool has been created below.  , the white water splash hovered in the pool for a long time before winding down the streams. ???????????????????????? Rolling up my sleeves, I hurriedly walked to the pool, but before I could bend down to get water, a voice suddenly came from the surrounding area: "Little brother what are you doing? Don't scare my fish" The voice was slightly loud  Old, and very low, as if he was afraid that if he spoke louder, he would disturb someone.  I was startled, and looked up. I saw a skinny old man not far away. He was dressed in gray and white clothes, which seemed to blend in with the color of the surrounding rocks. The old man was holding a slender bamboo pole. One end of the bamboo pole  , a slender white line hangs straight into the pool, and the old man himself sits alone on a stone, quietly watching the white line in the water.  It seems that they really came here to fish, but this is clearly halfway up the Buzhou Mountain. The water falls here and there are some small fish. I am afraid that they will be dizzy after being hit like this. Also,  There was water splashing all around this pool, and the water was swaying a lot. It was not the best place for fishing at all. But seeing the old man¡¯s concentrated expression, I smiled bitterly. He was really enthusiastic I was stunned, this  There is obviously water to drink, but the old man stops him from approaching. It is really unpleasant.  Walking quickly to the old man's side, I lowered my voice slightly and said, "Uncle, I was passing by here and just wanted to take a drink of water." As I said that, I was about to step forward, but the old man immediately stretched out his hand.  To stop him, the old man blew his beard and said: "Little brother, haven't you seen that I am fishing? If you stick your big head out like this, if the fish gets scared after seeing it, I won't be able to catch any fish."  "Will you compensate me?" "Uh" I looked up at the waterfall and was speechless. The sound of the waterfall falling was deafening. If the fish were really so timid, such a noise would have scared them.  It flew away, so I fiddled with some water to drink, but nothing worked. This old man "Uncle, then, I'll go down there and find some stream water to drink." With a depressed sigh, I wandered along a stream and followed it.  I walked down and stopped not far away, but when I bent down to drink water, I suddenly stood up and saw a smelly shoe rushing down the stream. I was about to  After I stepped back, I heard the old man's urgent voice: "Little brother, help me pick up my shoes quickly, my shoes fell into the water." I was startled, and rushed down to get enough, but the water flow didn't work for some reason.  The further we got down, the more anxious I became. I had no choice but to speed up my pace, pick up a branch, and finally hook up the old man's shoes at a corner.  "But the smell still made me frown. I don't know if the old man hasn't washed his feet in a few years. It's really, ugh.  With such a strong-smelling thing in my hand, I couldn't even feel the mood to drink water. I immediately turned around and climbed up. This trip was actually a delay of more than half an hour.  When we came to the edge of the pool, the old man said with a smile: "Thank you so much, little brother, you are such a good person." I frowned and held my breath, struggling to squeeze out a smile, and reached out to hand the shoes to the old man.  Just as the old man took the shoes, I finally couldn't help turning around and retching I squatted on the stone and rested for a long time before I finally came back to my senses. At this time, the old man suddenly  The bamboo pole in his hand fell to the side, and he blew his beard and said: "I don't think I can't catch one when I fish in front of my house. This shabby place really disappoints me. Oh" I asked in shock: "Uncle  , where is your home?" When the old man saw me, he felt much better. He smiled slightly and said, "My home is on the mountain. I was tired of fishing in the pool in front of my house, so I wanted to change it.  Try it, haha." Hearing this, I immediately opened my eyes and said with a trembling voice: "You live on the mountain, then you are an old god."   The old man quickly looked around and said anxiously: "Old god, where is it, where is it, oh the old god the little brother mentioned is me, hahaha, I am just an ordinary mortal, who is the old god?  You really know how to joke." I didn't believe it, so I asked immediately, "Then why do you say you live on the mountain?" When the old man heard this, he smiled happily: "So that's why, little brother.  I don¡¯t know, although my home is on the mountain, it¡¯s not just halfway up the mountain. It¡¯s at least thirty miles away from the top of Buzhou Mountain, haha.¡± ¡°Ah¡± I raised my head in shock and looked at the distance.  On the top of the mountain, he murmured: "There are still more than thirty miles, this is too far" The old man smiled again: "Little brother, what I just said is the distance from my home. If it is  Is this place" "By the way, I didn't ask the old man how far it was from here, so I immediately asked: "How far is it from here to your home?" The old man slightly stretched out a finger and said.  : "No more, no more, only ten miles." "Ahem~~~" I couldn't help but cough twice. This old man must be joking. There are still ten miles from here to his house. So, it's still ten miles from the top of the mountain.  Isn't it just a mountain road of more than forty miles? This, there are still four days, no, if today passes, there will be three days. In three days, how can I climb to the top of the mountain forty miles high?  Feeling anxious, I hurriedly drank a few sips of water, and just about to turn around and leave, the old man suddenly stopped me and asked: "Little brother, you want to go to the top of the mountain to ask for the elixir." I nodded hurriedly and said  : "Yes, my old mother at home is seriously ill in bed. This time I am going to the top of Buzhou Mountain to find the gods and obtain elixir to cure my old mother's illness. Uncle, I don't have much time, so I won't bother you. That's it.  Say goodbye." After saying that, I was about to leave, but I was stopped by the old man. The old man immediately stood up and said, "Let's go" I was stunned and watched the old man follow me.  , I said in surprise: "Uncle, you don't fish anymore." The old man laughed and said: "It's getting late, I should go back, little brother, if you don't mind, how about we go together." "This  " I looked the old man up and down. At such an old age, his legs and feet would definitely not be fast. If I walked with him, I guess it would be difficult to reach the top of the mountain even if I walked for a month. But since the old man said it, I don't think so.  I refused and said: "Well, then, let's set off immediately." I turned around to leave again, but was stopped by the old man again. I almost burst into tears and said, "Uncle, what's the matter with you?"  The old man looked down and said with a smile: "Little brother, look at my body, it's easy to go down the mountain, but going up the mountain is difficult If you don't dislike it, why don't you be a good person and give me a ride." "  Ah, this" I was in trouble again. If I carried the old man on my back, I would definitely not be able to walk fast, and the time would be greatly delayed. But it seemed that the old man was telling the truth. It was easier to go down the mountain than to go up, not to mention  From here to the old man's home, there is still a ten-mile mountain road. After thinking about it, I felt a sudden change in my heart. I knelt down and said, "Uncle, I will carry you on my back." Carrying the old man on my back made me slower indeed.  On the one hand, I am worried about the safety of the old man. If he accidentally falls down again, it will be a big sin. On the other hand, I am worried about how to get to the top of the mountain in the remaining time "Uncle, you catch a fish."  Why is the fish still running so far? If you don't meet me, you will have to walk for several days to get home. " I comforted the old man along the way, don't walk so far again, there might be some jackals and tigers in the mountains.  Leopard, if he eats the old man again, he won't do it just for fishing.  The old man agreed wholeheartedly and said: "Little brother, you are such a good person." I encouraged myself and kept speeding up. Although it was slower than when I walked, I could only hold on and walk slowly.  We walked about three miles along the mountain road, but we could already see the sun setting over the west mountain. Well, another day had passed, and now there were only three days left.  "Oops, little brother is not good." The old man suddenly shouted anxiously. I didn't know what happened, so I quickly stopped, put the old man down, and asked: "Uncle, what's wrong? What happened?  What's up."
