Zhao Xian certainly didn't believe the old Taoist had become an immortal, but the old Taoist's ability to predict when it would rain did indeed demonstrate his extraordinary talent.
It's definitely inappropriate for so many people to want to see the old Taoist priest. Since he is a reclusive master, he should be given enough respect.
"This old Taoist priest must be a master. Since he has an appointment with Li Guang, no one else should disturb him."
"Alright then, prepare some good dishes for lunch and send them over. Li Guang can treat the old Taoist priest to a proper meal."
After Zhao Xian finished speaking, he instructed the chef to prepare some special dishes for the old Taoist priest. Then Zhao Xian took out a small jar of white wine and asked Li Guang to take it over, so that he could invite the old Taoist priest to drink at noon.
Li Guang was very grateful for Zhao Xian's arrangement. Now that he had confirmed that the old Taoist was a hermit, he would take this opportunity to have a good talk with him.
The rain outside continued and grew heavier. Zhao Xian took out a raincoat and gave it to Li Guang to wear. At that time, raincoats were the main rain gear people used.
"Someone will deliver the food over at noon. You just need to wait for the old Taoist priest at the farm. You don't need to worry about anything else," Zhao Xian said.
Li Guang nodded, put on his raincoat, and left with the jar of liquor in his arms.
The last time the old Taoist priest came here was at noon. He'll probably come a little earlier today, but will this heavy rain affect his schedule?
With nothing else to do, Li Guang stayed in his room and played with Xiao Hei.
It has been about ten days since Li Xue brought Xiao Hei back from the mountain. Xiao Hei has grown a lot since it first arrived. It has been weaned and eats everything, especially meat.
Because of the many people coming and going at home during the day, Xiao Hei was a little scared and mostly stayed in the yard. After Li Guang finished work, he would play with Xiao Hei, and gradually, Xiao Hei became very close to Li Guang.
When Xiao Hei was brought to the farm early in the morning, it was particularly lively. It felt like this was its real home, running around in the farmyard, and it couldn't be happier.
Later, it started to rain. It was the first time Xiao Hei had ever seen rain, and he was a little scared, so he hid in his room.
Li Guang frowned as he watched Xiao Hei rolling around on the ground. The more he looked at Xiao Hei, the less it resembled a puppy. It always liked to climb to high places and couldn't even bark. How would it guard the house in the future?
The rain outside had been falling for an hour, and now the raindrops were starting to subside. Li Guang went to the courtyard gate to check on the situation outside.
In the distance, several people hurried along in the rain. One of them strode towards them, immediately catching Li Guang's attention.
A light drizzle was falling, making distant scenery difficult to see clearly. Before long, the person drew closer to the farm, and Li Guang finally recognized him as the old Taoist priest.
Li Guang immediately went to greet the old Taoist priest and invited him into the house.
"Master Dao is truly a divine being. He predicted rain within five days a few days ago, and it has indeed come true."
When the old Taoist saw Li Guang standing at the courtyard gate to greet him, he laughed heartily and strode into the courtyard.
Upon entering the house, Li Guang noticed that the old Taoist priest had not brought any rain gear, yet his clothes remained dry. How could this be? Could the old Taoist priest truly be a deity?
Seeing that Li Guang was a little stunned, the old Taoist priest smiled and said:
"I had already anticipated the rain today. It's not raining everywhere; the rain is falling at different times. As long as you time it right, you won't get wet here."
The old Taoist's words surprised Li Guang even more. The old Taoist not only knew when it would rain, but also where it would rain and where it wouldn't. This was something that even immortals would find difficult to do.
After the old Taoist priest sat down, Li Guang began to carefully observe him and found that he looked radiant today, much better than last time.
Just then, the rain outside suddenly intensified, and Xiao Hei suddenly ran in from outside.
"A Tai Chi Bear." The old Taoist was taken aback. He looked at Li Guang in confusion, wondering why there was a small Tai Chi Bear here.
Li Guang was also dumbfounded. Wasn't this just a little black dog? How could the old Taoist priest say it was a Tai Chi bear?
“I found it on the mountain a while ago. It’s just a puppy, so why does the Taoist priest say it’s a bear?”
When the old Taoist priest saw that Li Guang actually mistook a bear cub for a puppy, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Young man, you may not know this, but it is not a puppy, but a Tai Chi bear cub with the strength to lift mountains, which is what the locals call a mountain bear."
The old Taoist's words surprised Li Guangda. During this period, two mountain bears often tried to enter the village at night, but they were stopped at the village entrance by the patrol team. Because the two mountain bears were afraid of crossbows, they dared not force their way in, but they were unwilling to leave, so they confronted the patrol team for a long time each time.
Now I finally understand what happened. It turns out the mountain bears were worried because of Little Black. Their own cub had been kidnapped. How could they not be anxious?
When Li Xue brought Xiao Hei back from the mountain, she never dreamed that it was a bear cub.
If I bring the bear cub to the farm now, won't the two mountain bears come here every night, putting me in danger?
Thinking of this, Li Guang began to worry. What should he do?
Seeing Li Guang's worried expression, the old Taoist priest laughed again.
"Young man, don't worry. It's definitely a good thing for you that this little Tai Chi bear can stay here."
If this bear cub has parents, they should find it here soon. Since the cub has been living with you and has developed a strong dependence on you, it will not leave you easily.
Its parents will guard the farm for a long time to protect the cub. Rather than saying that the mountain bear is protecting its cub, it's more accurate to say that it is protecting you. With the protection of the Tai Chi Bear, what are you worried about?
During this time, the bear cub's parents will not harm you. When the bear cub grows up, the two adult bears will leave. By then, the bear cub will have grown up and will protect you and be at your service.
The old Taoist's words excited Li Guang greatly. He knew that mountain bears had thick skin and were impervious to swords and spears. If the cub could protect him when it grew up, he would be much safer.
The two continued chatting, and the rain outside grew heavier. Li Guang was a little worried; with such heavy rain, how could he possibly deliver the prepared food?
The old Taoist priest seemed to have seen through Li Guang's thoughts and said:
"Don't worry, young man, the rain will lessen around noon."
"This old Taoist is truly amazing! He can actually guess what I'm thinking," Li Guang couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
At this moment, Xiao Hei seemed to be tired from running. It came to Li Guang's side and hugged Li Guang's leg with its two front paws.
Li Guang bent down and picked up Xiao Hei. As soon as Xiao Hei was in Li Guang's arms, it began to fall fast asleep.
The old Taoist priest glanced at Li Guang, then at the snoring little black dog in his arms, and smiled.
"Young man, it seems that this little Tai Chi bear is a gift from heaven. You must raise it and keep it by your side."
Li Guang nodded, gently stroking Xiao Hei with his hand, and said:
"Thank you, Master Dao. I will raise Xiao Hei and keep him by my side forever."
Xiao Hei was brought by Li Xue, who had no idea that Xiao Hei was a mountain bear. She would give her a surprise later.
