"One, two, three, four, five, six."

"Kou Ritian, a man-sized dog."

In the Lin family yard, a little girl with two little buns on her hair squatted under the eaves, holding a branch with her small hands, writing and drawing on the ground, reading as she wrote.

In the main room, the women were making small school bags, and the boys were standing around them chattering.

The men sat in front of the kitchen, repairing farm tools, and after a short rest they prepared to go to the fields to work.

"Oh my, this remote mountain place is so hard to find. I am so tired, so tired!" Suddenly, there was a chatter outside the courtyard, and then a figure appeared at the gate of the courtyard, leaning his body and sticking his head in a little, "Dear donors, I am thirsty after traveling here, can I have a drink of water?"

Everyone in the yard looked in the direction of the sound.

What caught my eye was a fifty-year-old man, wearing a grey Taoist robe, with an eight-treasure bag on his back, a mustache, a round figure and a round face. When he smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he looked naive and approachable.

The old man who claimed to be a Taoist priest had a shaved head like a monk.

At first glance, it seems neither fish nor fowl.

"Please wait a moment, old man. I'll get you some water." The Lin family did not judge people by their appearance. After Lin Dashan greeted them, he went back to the kitchen to get some water.

The old Taoist smiled and walked a few steps into the yard. He took out a broken cattail leaf fan from his waist and fanned himself. "Okay, okay! Thank you very much! Good deeds will be rewarded! No wonder the grass in your yard grows better than others!"

The Lin family was amused by the old Taoist's words, "Where are you from, old man? What are you going to do?"

"Well! It's a long story! I came here on a quest to find medicine! I've traveled thousands of miles for months, from north to south, and have searched many ancient mountains. Shennv Mountain is the last one I'm going to search for." The old Taoist looked up from the Lin family yard to the Shennv Mountain Range not far away.

It is so high that it reaches the sky, and so long that you can’t see the end of it.

The old Taoist cursed the imperial physician in his heart.

I would really make trouble for him.

"You want to go to Shennv Mountain?" Lin Jiang was shocked when he heard the old man's words. "You can't do that, old man. Bandits have been entrenched here for a long time. The government hasn't completely eliminated them yet. Half of the bandits are hiding in Shennv Mountain. They are all willing to kill without blinking an eye!"

Lin Dashan brought out a bowl of water and handed it to the old Taoist priest. He frowned and kindly advised, "Old man, think twice. It is indeed not allowed to enter Shennv Mountain at the moment. If you really want to go in to look for medicine, you should wait until the government suppresses the bandits first."

Taking the tea bowl, the old Taoist wiped the sweat off his bald head with a palm-leaf fan in his other hand, "But my matter is very urgent and can't wait. There are people who are waiting for me to find medicine to save their lives!"

After walking too long, his throat was so thirsty that it was smoking. After the old Taoist finished speaking, he couldn't wait any longer and drank gulps of tea.

As soon as he took a sip of the tea, a gleam of light immediately appeared in his eyes.

After finishing the tea, he turned back into the smiling Maitreya Taoist appearance.

"Your tea is good, very tasty." He looked around and pointed with his palm-leaf fan at the wild grass growing vigorously in the yard. "Is the tea made from these grasses? I have a sharp nose and can smell the same scent of tea and grass."

"The old man's nose is indeed very sharp. He is right. The grass growing in my yard is Baixiang grass, which can be used as medicine and can be used to make tea. What you just drank is called Baixiang tea." Lin Dashan replied.

"Hundred-face grass? Strange, I've never heard of it." The old Taoist rolled his eyes, walked to the empty stool in front of the kitchen and sat down, put his two fat hands on his heart, his face changed to fear, "You just said there are bandits in Shennv Mountain who kill people without blinking an eye? Oh my, after thinking it over, I feel that what you said makes a lot of sense. It is indeed not advisable to enter the mountain, otherwise I'm afraid I will lose my life in there, it's too scary!"

The Lin family members were unable to react to the Taoist's sudden change and all looked stunned.

That's not what you just said.

Lin Dashan's eyes fell on the stool under the old man's buttocks. That was where he had just sat. Although he didn't mind, wasn't the old man's action of walking into the yard and sitting down a little too natural?

The old Taoist could be more natural, patting his old arms and legs, "I'm too old to be useful. When I sit down, I feel like my hands and feet are not my own. I don't even have the strength to stand up... Benefactor, can you give me some more tea? Maybe if I drink enough, I'll have the strength!"

"..."

Bai Xiang and his two brothers had already gathered behind the Taoist priest by now, and the three kids were staring at the big bald head reflecting the light in front of them.

Lin Huaisong whispered, "Bald head! The old man has no hair! I heard that monks in temples have no hair. I finally see it!"

Lin Huaibai also whispered, "His head is so bright!"

Bai Xiang didn't say anything. He touched it curiously and knocked it.

Dudu——

The old Taoist paused and slowly turned around.

He looked into the eyes of the jade doll with two small buns on her back, "Why are you hitting my head?"

Bai Xiang looked at his hands, then at Fat Grandpa's big head, "Why don't you have hair, Fat Grandpa? Everyone has hair."

As far as she could remember, she had never seen a bald head.

The doll is really curious.

The old Taoist has a genuine expressionless face.

"Long hair is too troublesome so I shaved it off!"

"You smell like medicine."

"..."

"Same smell as the old doctor."

"..."

"Fat Grandpa, what do you do?"

The old Taoist Jia Banxian was speechless. Fortunately, he had too much fat and was too heavy, otherwise he would have had to jump up.

Does this little farm kid have a dog's nose?

I actually smelled medicine on him?

How is that possible! He bathes every day and even uses soap nuts to rub his Taoist robes!

He would smoke himself some sandalwood whenever he had time!

Even after this, you can still smell the medicine on him?

After Lin Dashan brought out the teapot, Jia Banxian personally filled his water bag, and left without staying for a moment.

This little kid in this house is weird!

The men of the Lin family at the back were still reminding him loudly, "Old man, Shennv Mountain is really dangerous, you must not enter the mountain rashly!"

"I know, I know! Thanks for the reminder!"

……

After nightfall, the village at the foot of the mountain gradually became quiet.

People in the countryside are accustomed to going to bed early at night, and they turn off the lights and rest soon after it gets dark.

The Lin family also went to bed early.

Only the diligent Da Huang was guarding the door of the main room, with the starry sky, and laughing with his tongue hanging out.

Dong——Gululu——

The extremely slight sound of stones falling to the ground and rolling was drowned out by the chirping of insects in all directions and was not noticeable.

Dahuang's ears pricked up with alertness and he immediately stood up. He let out a low growl and was about to bark, but before the bark came out of his throat, his limbs went limp and he fell down.

On a moonlit night in the mountains, the moonlight is bright and clear.

A round black shadow lightly climbed over the fence, tiptoed and crouched, sneaking like a thief.

Hee hee hee!

A dog cannot guard the house in front of him.

Jia Banxian had a very clear goal. After entering the yard, he didn't go anywhere else and went straight to the corners where the grass grew.

Pulling weeds.

In a short while, the treasure bag was filled.
