Chapter 50: An Ancient Guide to Survival in the Wild
Time is like an arrow, the white horse flies, and eight years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Shi Fu has been watching the growth of his previous life from the perspective of God.
Unlike him now, Xiao Zhuge in his previous life was not a person who liked language arts, on the contrary, he was taciturn and didn't like to talk too much, and only popped out a few words when necessary. In his usual life, he prefers to read books silently, which coincides with the Shi Fu of the present world.
Xiao Zhuge is very proud of his performance in his growth, he can speak at the age of eight months, he can already read and write at the age of one and a half, and he is full of economy at the age of three. This kind of wisdom has been inherited by the Shi Fu of the present world in a basically perfect way.
Until the year when Xiao Zhuge was seven and a half years old, Zhuge became ill due to the entangled work of government affairs, and finally fell ill, and passed away on Xiao Zhuge on his eighth birthday.
Before he died, Zhuge Jue called Xiao Zhuge to the front when he was dying and said: "Son, your name is given by an immortal, he once said that he would accept you as an apprentice, if you meet him in the future, you must study hard, don't live up to my expectations for you." ”
Xiao Zhuge nodded with tears on his face and did not speak. After Zhuge Jue finished explaining these words, he drove back to the west.
The original birthday has become a funeral. Xiao Zhuge Phi Ma Dai Xiao and his family together for his father's wake, on the second day of his father's death, the family came to an old way, walked to the door and saw the white cloth sealed door, sighed and whispered: "This is fate, I told you the way to break the robbery, but you still have to be persistent, and your life cannot be changed." After saying that, he walked into the courtyard.
Zhuge Jue's wife saw an old Taoist walking in, got up and said accordingly: "The Taoist chief came to ask what is going on." ”
Lao Dao waved his hand and said: "I originally wanted to come to catch up with the ancients, but now it seems that the ancients have passed away, wait for me to spend a time for him first, and then discuss the rest of the things after I finish doing it." After speaking, regardless of Mrs. Zhuge , he walked straight to the coffin, closed his eyes and began to chant the scriptures.
Mrs. Zhuge only heard the rumors of the old Tao from the mouth of the old man, and just heard the words of the old Taoist quite godlike, but she was not sure, so she did not speak, and knelt next to the coffin again and waited.
After about a stick of incense, Lao Dao reopened his eyes, looked left and right, walked to Xiao Zhuge and bent down and said, "You are Zhuge Liang." ”
Xiao Zhuge looked up at Lao Dao and nodded.
Lao Dao twisted his beard and smiled and continued: "Your name was given by me, and today I am here to take you as an apprentice, are you willing to go with me?"
Xiao Zhuge nodded, and Mrs. Zhuge next to her was just about to stand up and ask, only to see Lao Dao reach out and grab Xiao Zhuge , turn around and smile at her, and then disappear.
Mrs. Zhuge was stunned for a moment, she had just experienced the pain of bereavement, and now that her second son was gone, Mrs. Zhuge fell to the ground and fainted after a while.
Let's not talk about how to do it in Zhuge family, let's just say that Lao Dao took Xiao Zhuge and came to a big mountain. Lao Dao let go of his hand and said to Xiao Zhuge : "If you want to learn skills from me, you must first pass three levels first, and cross this mountain to find my residence, this is the first level", after saying that, Lao Dao flew away directly.
Xiao Zhuge watched Lao Dao fly away, secretly clenched his fists, and began to climb the mountain, an eight-year-old child, it is basically impossible to climb over a high mountain, even if it can be done, it will take a lot of time, not to mention that Lao Dao did not leave any supplies for Xiao Zhuge when he left, such a test is basically impossible to complete.
Seeing this time, Shi Fu in the sky cursed in his heart: "This old guy, leave this kind of test for an eight-year-old child, isn't this a joke, if I can still see him, I will definitely scold him to death." ”
During Shi Fu's cursing, Xiao Zhuge below had been crawling for more than half a day, just looking at this perseverance, Xiao Zhuge at this time was already above many people. When he was about to run out of energy, he chose to stop, then looked around, touched the ground, and nodded to himself. I saw that he no longer climbed up, but began to look around for something, and after a while he searched for a lot of wild fruits.
In fact, these are all things that Xiao Zhuge has read in books, and now he is familiar with pharmacology and can distinguish various herbal fruits, so it is still very easy to find some food in such a big mountain.
After eating the wild fruits, his stomach was full, and he looked at the sky, and it was not long before it would be dark. I saw that he continued to walk towards the mountainside, and after walking for a long time, he heard the sound of the water, and followed the sound for half a moment, and came to a small river. He stooped down and searched for a while, found a stone chip sharpened by the river, and returned to the woods with it.
This time he cut down a lot of small branches that had not yet grown into shape, then found a clearing, arranged the branches and spread them high, and finally put a lot of leaves on them, and a simple little bed was ready, and finally before it was dark he searched for a lot of dry wood, and set up a fire, and the preparations for the night were all done.
Shi Fu's consciousness watched everything Xiao Zhuge did in mid-air, silently compared it with his current strength, and thought, "If this were my own, I should be able to do better, after all, I am only three years old, and you are eight years old, cut." But then he thought again, "I'm going, why should I compare myself with myself." ”
In the following days, Xiao Zhuge spent every day like this, waking up early in the morning and starting to climb the mountain, hungry to find wild fruits, preparing for the night before dark, and on the tenth day, he finally reached the top of the mountain.
Xiao Zhuge looked at it from a distance, there was a thatched house at the foot of the mountain, it should be there, and after resting for half a moment, he began to prepare to go down the mountain. I saw that he tied the vines he found when he went up the mountain to his waist first, and then spread the vines behind his back, and each vine was tied with a circle-like buckle, and after doing all this, he began to descend the mountain.
There used to be an old saying: "It's easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, although going up the mountain will consume physical strength, but there is no danger, going down the mountain is different, one step into the air may fall to the bottom." Xiao Zhuge was prepared for fear that if he stepped on the air, the vines behind him would be able to trap something when he fell, so he pulled himself so that he could stop.
The speed of going down the mountain is much faster than going up the mountain, and after six days, Xiao Zhuge came to the thatched house.
He stepped forward and knocked on the door, but found that no one answered, out of politeness, he did not continue to knock, but chose to retreat to the courtyard, sit down and wait slowly.
Until the sun sets, there is still no movement in the thatched house, Xiao Zhuge lowered his head and pondered, and the heavenly Shi Fu also pondered, and after a few minutes Shi Fu understood, this should be the second test, he wanted to call Xiao Zhuge , but he remembered that he couldn't make a sound at all, this feeling was very maddening.
Xiao Zhuge at the bottom also suddenly raised his head, only to see that he had changed to a kneeling posture, just kneeling in front of the thatched house.
In the blink of an eye, it was two days, and just when Xiao Zhuge was about to faint, Lao Dao appeared and helped him, and said softly: "You have passed the customs, come into the house and drink some water with me." ”
Lao Dao helped Xiao Zhuge into the thatched house, only to see a small jar on the table, which was full of cold water, as soon as Xiao Zhuge saw that there was water, he was ready to drink, just picked up the small water tank, and suddenly stopped. Lao Dao touched his beard behind his back and smiled, this was his third test.
Xiao Zhuge put down the small water tank, used the towel on the table, lit some water, and then slowly wiped his lips, and squeezed out the water droplets little by little, until he relieved some fatigue, and then came to a glass of water to drink.
Lao Dao walked over and said, "Are you hungry?" With a wave of his hand, a table of food appeared, Xiao Zhuge did not eat it, but knelt down in front of Lao Dao first, kowtowed three times and said, "The master is above, please accept the disciple's worship." ”
The old man lifted him up and said to him, "Let's eat first, and then we will talk about it when we are done." Only then did Xiao Zhuge pick up the rice bowl and eat slowly.
Lao Tao said to himself: "Climbing a mountain is a test of perseverance and knowledge, kneeling is a test of determination, and the final water is a test of your reaction in extreme situations." ”
Xiao Zhuge didn't speak, just lowered his head and ate. Shi Fu above is bitter, he can't move, he can't say anything, he can't do anything, the key is that he is also hungry, looking at Xiao Zhuge eating below, Shi Fu's heart has been in a state of rage, "Lao Tzu is also hungry, why do you have to have such details as eating to get back your memory, are you going to die of hunger......"
