A Grass's Bizarre Adventure in Wonderland

A few days later, there was a lot of commotion in Jiangliuji, where few strangers appeared.The vendors looked at the plainly dressed family of six curiously, and kept shouting for their products, hoping to make a sale.Headed by a pair of gray bearded old couple with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, they are strolling in the market with their four children.Three of the boys looked around talking and laughing, playing with some novelty products from time to time, and the remaining girl timidly grabbed the old man's hand and did not dare to leave half a step, but her eyes wandered from time to time to those novelty toys that she had never seen before. , obviously very interested.

Perhaps the old man sensed the little girl's thoughts, and dragged her to a small stall. Seeing her playing vigorously with the kaleidoscope, he couldn't help but reach out and touch her head, his eyes full of doting.He casually handed the peddler a piece of silver and left with everyone. The peddler, who had never seen so much money, stared straight at his eyes, thinking that he was dreaming, and hurriedly opened his mouth and bit his mouth. Yinzi thanked the generous old man.When the rest of the merchants saw a patron coming, they gathered around them holding their best products and chatting about the products.

Seeing that the old lady was surrounded by the crowd, she stood in front of the old man and was about to have an attack but was held down by her shoulders. The old man smiled inscrutably, took out a bank note and waved it in his hand, "The most well-informed person here is who?"

"Zhabu from Anji's family, he is a living map of Minjiang River!" Someone said first, but the old man accurately put a bank note into that person's hand, "Take us to find him."

"Liduiya? The evil dragon locked there is very evil. What are you going to do there?" Outside the small Tibetan village, a thin, short, dark-skinned, shirtless old man squatted on the ground smoking dry cigarettes, spitting out puffs after puffs The smog obscured everyone's sight. The old lady kept waving her hands to drive away the fog in front of the old man's eyes, and said politely: "These children have been very curious about dragons since they were young. They have to go wherever there are legends about dragons. This is the last place." Stop. I heard that you are a living map of the Minjiang River, and there is no place in the entire Minjiang River that you have never been to, so I would like to ask you to take us to have a look, so as to satisfy the children's wishes."

"No." Zhabu knocked off the ash after smoking a pipe, put the bong back on his waist, waved his hands, and went into the village without even looking at them.

"I have enough silver here, you won't be able to use it up in a few lifetimes." The old man took out a large stack of banknotes, but Zhabu didn't look back, and said coldly, "I won't go for any more money. You better go now."

"You don't want the life of your young granddaughter?" Zhabu suddenly stopped and turned his head to glare at the calm old man, his skinny chest was heaving violently with anger, "Let's make a deal." , you take us to Moduiya, how about I help you cure your granddaughter's illness?" The old man threw a white pill bottle to Zabu, "You give this medicine to your granddaughter, and she will recover naturally within an hour. "

Glancing suspiciously at the old man, Zhabu agreed to the old man's request, beckoning everyone to follow, and the group went to the village.

"If this medicine is useful, then I can give my life to both of you. If it's not, it can be regarded as a relief..." Zhabu opened the curtain and walked to the bed, watching the haggard figure sleeping peacefully The young girl squatted down and gently stroked the dull hair, sighed, stuffed the pill into her mouth, and sat on the ground waiting for a miracle to happen.For some unknown reason, the little girl leaned forward and reached out to hold her hand, her words were full of childlike innocence, "Sister just fell asleep like this, isn't it very painful?"

One sentence seemed to hurt Zhabu's nerves, and he rubbed his red eye sockets with rough hands, "A few years ago, when I was taking people on a tour of the Minjiang River, I was caught in a storm. I floated all the way to Lidui Cliff, and it turned out that the evil dragon was breathing on the surface of the pool. At that time, I was so scared that I immediately begged for mercy, but the evil dragon refused, saying that I would use the life of my dependent granddaughter to make up for the time he was delayed. After coming back, my granddaughter will be like this..."

"What's the origin of that evil dragon?" Xu Shi, the boy with two buns on his head, asked excitedly.

"It is said that it was a coiled dragon that was demoted to the mortal world for violating the rules of heaven 20 years ago. It made waves in the Minjiang River and caused people to complain. Later, many gods subdued this evil dragon and locked it under Lidui cliff. In the deep pool, and told the ancestors to throw a thick iron chain into the pool every year at the beginning of winter, otherwise the evil dragon will come out again to harm the common people if it loses its imprisonment." Zhabu's words made several people think, and they were speechless for a while , The silence in the room was terrible, until a cough awakened the silent factor condensed in the air.

"My child!" There was a gleam of light in the old man's turbid eyes. Seeing the girl slowly opening her confused eyes, her chapped lips moved: "Grandpa...I...thirsty..."

"Okay, grandpa, I'll pour water for you now, and I'll pour water for you here!" Zhabu was so excited that he turned around and almost fell, and ran out to pour water for his granddaughter, and the old man waiting inside looked at him with approval. The little girl, and the little girl also stared at the old man happily, and the two just looked at each other affectionately like no one else.

"Grandpa, I want to eat candied haws." The little boy with a ball head on the left tugged at the old man's hand and muttered dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you later." The old man withdrew his gaze, turned to the girl who was sitting on the bed and hadn't fully regained consciousness: "Little girl, how do you feel?"

"Who are you? Where is my grandpa!" The girl hugged the quilt and curled up beside the bed in horror. It was obvious that she had never seen so many strangers being frightened.

"Amo, these are the people who saved you." Zhabu handed over a glass of water, and the girl drank it before she calmed down a bit, "Thank you for saving me."

"Can you take us there now?" Seeing the grandfather and grandson holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes, as if reunited after a long absence, the grandma didn't want to waste any more time and directly broke this warm scene.

"Let's go tomorrow. It's just that the water going to Liduiya is fast. You are either old people or children. This is a safety issue..."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you guarantee your own safety." The old man smiled nonchalantly, "Our life or death depends entirely on God's will, and we will not rely on you."

After finalizing the itinerary, everyone rejected Zhabu's offer to stay overnight, and made an appointment to gather in front of the village at Maoshi tomorrow and left.
