Chapter 9 [First Encounter with Zhang Xiaohu]
"Faint to death, is there still one person in this cell?"
Tang Lang muttered as he quickly stood up from the ground.
In the darkness, he couldn't see anything, so he had to touch it with his hands.
Tang Lang pricked up his ears, and he faintly heard a slight sound of breathing coming from the ground.
He reached for the corner with both hands.
Soon, Tang Lang touched a person's **.
However, the person who was touched by him did not move, as if he was a ** on the verge of death.
The first thing Tang Lang touched was the person's chest, which was flat, and it was obviously a man. Then he ran up the man's chest, touching the man's chin, lips, and cheeks.
He felt what seemed to be blood sticking to his hands.
Raise your hand and put it on your nose, and when you smell it, it smells fishy.
"Sure enough, it's blood!"
Tang Lang whispered.
The man lying on the ground seemed to be seriously injured, so even if Tang Lang's hand was groping on his body, he didn't react much.
Tang Lang had no choice but to ask him, "Hey, brother, what's wrong with you?" Hurt? Where is it? Is it serious? ”
"Ho...... Ho...... Ho ......"
The man lying on the ground only mumbled a few words, but did not utter a word.
"Drink?"
Tang Lang didn't understand what it meant, and asked him again: "Do you want to drink water?" ”
He hurriedly reached out and fumbled around, hoping to touch something like a bucket.
However, Tang Lang didn't touch any utensils to hold water.
"What can I do?"
In a panic, Tang Lang suddenly thought of Cheng Yanjin, who was locked up in the confinement cell next door.
"Hey, Brother Cheng bites Jin Cheng, is there water in this confinement cell?"
Cheng Yanjin snorted coldly and said, "Water? I've got a urine bag. ”
Tang Lang was in a hurry, "I'll tell you seriously!" -- There is a prisoner who is dying, and he looks like he is about to die of thirst, how can I get him some water to drink? ”
In the dark, Cheng Yanjin said again: "If the prisoners in the confinement cell want to drink water, then they have to look at the mood of the prison cell." When they are in a good mood, they may bring a bucket of water and put some water in the sink in the confinement cell; If you're in a bad mood, I'm afraid you won't have a drop of water for two or three days. ”
"Sink?" Tang Lang seemed to remember something, "There is a sink in this confinement cell?" ”
Cheng Yanjin said: "Yes, it is near the door of the cell. ”
Tang Lang was overjoyed when he heard this, and he hurriedly groped his way to the door of the cell.
Squatting down, Tang Lang's hands kept touching the ground.
There was a mess on the ground, everything, broken clothes, rotten grass roots, and so on.
Finally, Tang Lang still touched a stone.
He felt a groove in the stone. So, he quickly reached into his hand.
Where the tentacles are, wet.
Tang Lang hurriedly continued to stretch inside, and when he opened up, he felt a small pool of water.
"Haha, great, I didn't expect that there is still water in this stone trough."
Tang Lang shouted happily as he stretched out his hands and carefully took out a handful of water from the stone trough.
"Now it's okay, you're saved!"
Tang Lang held the water and slowly moved to the injured man's side.
He first put the water next to his nose and smelled it, although there was a strange smell, but at this time of danger, he couldn't care much about it.
Tang Lang carefully touched the man's dry mouth with his hand, which seemed to have not drunk water for a few days, before he said to him, "This brother, the water is coming...... Open your mouth! ”
"Uh......"
The man lying on the ground seemed to be trying to open his mouth, and a "uh-uh" sound came out of his throat.
Tang Lang's hand holding the water slowly leaked a gap, but it quickly closed tightly.
-- A person who has not drunk water for a long time should not be given too much water as soon as he comes up, and it is easy for him to choke to death.
Tang Lang still understands this truth very well in his heart.
The little water that leaked out just entered the man's chapped lips and into his fiery throat.
"Click".
In the quiet darkness, this voice was particularly clear.
Tang Lang was overjoyed, he knew that the injured man had swallowed the water into his throat.
"Slow down, don't rush."
As Tang Lang spoke, the two hands holding the water revealed another gap and poured some water into the injured man's mouth.
With the previous water, the injured man's lips, tongue and throat were moisturized to a certain extent, so he drank more smoothly this time.
Soon, Tang Lang poured all the water in his hand into the injured man's mouth.
The injured man drank the water, and his spirit and strength seemed to have recovered somewhat.
Tang Lang, who felt relieved, lay under the wall next to the injured man.
"What's your name? How did you get here? How did you get hurt? As soon as Tang Lang sat down, he continued to ask the injured man.
"Ahem......"
The injured man coughed weakly a few times in the darkness before he whispered, "My name is Zhang Xiaohu......"
As soon as he heard this, Tang Lang was immediately startled, his two ears stood up in an instant, and his two eyeballs kept rolling in their sockets.
He thought to himself: This is really "stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get it". I came to the movie world of "Shaolin Temple" and went through a lot of hardships, I thought that I would have to stay in this black prison for a while before I could get out, but who knew that I had found the person I was looking for by mistake.
However, Tang Lang was not sure if this "Zhang Xiaohu" was the Zhang Xiaohu he was looking for.
So, he asked the injured man who claimed to be "Zhang Xiaohu": "Your name is Zhang Xiaohu, so is your father the world-famous 'God Leg Zhang'?" ”
"Uh......"
The injured man hesitated, but he quickly responded, "...... Precisely...... You...... How do you know? Between the words, there were staccato moments, showing that his body was still weak.
Tang Lang said happily: "You don't care how I know. Since you are Zhang Xiaohu, the son of Shenleg Zhang, then you are the person I am looking for. ”
“…… Find me. Zhang Xiaohu was puzzled.
"Yes."
"Then you are ......"
Tang Lang didn't want to tell Zhang Xiaohu his origin now.
So, I had to tell a lie and said: "God Leg Zhang is chivalrous and righteous on the rivers and lakes, and he once saved his next life." God's leg Zhang is my father-in-law. I recently heard that the father and son of Shenleg Zhang were taken captive by Wang Shichong's army, and my home was burned by Wang Shichong's army, and my parents also died, so I wanted to go to Shenleg Zhang and his son, follow them, and try to rescue them. God's mercy, I actually met you in this Songyang prison. ”
"Oh, I see."
Shen Leg Zhang is chivalrous and righteous on the rivers and lakes, which is famous, and naturally has saved countless people.
Zhang Xiaohu had no doubts about what Tang Lang said.
Tang Lang immediately asked Zhang Xiaohu: "How did you get hurt?" Where is my Grace God's leg now? ”
"Father...... He had already been beaten to death by Wang Shichong's nephew, Wang Renze......"
"This Wang Renze!" Tang Lang cursed loudly.
Zhang Xiaohu continued: "My father and I were forced by Wang Renze's army to build fortifications by the Yellow River. His father annoyed Wang Renze because he rescued a people's husband. I went up to reason with him, and I was beaten by him. I watched my father being killed by Wang Renze, and wanted to fight with Wang Renze, but in order to protect my surname, several people took advantage of the chaos to throw me into the Yellow River......"
"Alas! One day, we will kill Wang Renze and avenge the grace. ”
"One day, I will kill this thief with my own hands." When Zhang Xiaohu said this, he gritted his teeth.
Tang Lang asked him, "What about after you fell into the Yellow River?" ”
"After I was thrown into the Yellow River, I kept drifting down the river, and at a shoal a few dozen miles downstream, I grabbed a nearby tree and climbed ashore. Wang Renze's martial arts are extremely high, and I can't beat him, so I want to go to Shaolin Temple to learn art. ”
"Shaolin Temple is a holy place for martial arts in the world. The so-called martial arts in the world come out of Shaolin. I really want to go, too. When Tang Lang said this, his heart was full of joy.
Zhang Xiaohu continued: "I stumbled all the way, and I don't know how long I walked, but I came to Songyang County. When you arrive in Songyang County, you will not be far from Shaolin Temple, as long as you walk west for another day, you will be able to walk to Shaolin Temple. I hadn't eaten for a few days, and my stomach was so hungry that I didn't get any food, so I grabbed the steamed buns of those diners in a restaurant. Alas......"
Tang Lang asked him, "You must be very hungry now." As he spoke, he took out a nest head from his arms and handed it to Zhang Xiaohu in the dark.
Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly caught the nest head handed over by Tang Lang, and then took a bite and began to chew it.
This nest is made of extremely coarse wheat grains with some corn, vegetable roots, and grass leaves, which not only tastes very bad, but also is difficult to swallow.
However, Zhang Xiaohu ate with relish.
Tang Lang said softly: "Brother Xiaohu, eat slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”
Soon, Zhang Xiaohu finished eating the nest.
He calmed down, then sat up slowly.
Tang Lang knew that Zhang Xiaohu's strength had rebounded, so he asked him: "You must have been arrested in this Songyang prison because you robbed those diners of steamed buns, right?" ”
"Yes." Zhang Xiaohu said calmly: "After I entered this Songyang prison, someone wanted to bully me, and I knocked out several teeth. So, the cell boss ordered the cells to put me in this small dark room on the second basement floor. ”
"What about your injuries, are you okay?" Tang Lang asked with concern.
"It's all right. The wound on his arm had long since congealed. The blood in his mouth is gone, but there is still blood on his face, which has not been washed away. The body is very weak, but fortunately I have your water and nest head. …… I've been forgetting to ask your name, you're ......."
"The surname is Tang, the name is Lang, Tang Lang."
At this time, Cheng Yanjin suddenly shouted loudly: "Two little brothers, when you are released from prison, follow my brother and I will kill Wang Shichong and Wang Renze, the two thieves." ”
"Hehe, I'm afraid that you won't be able to wait for that day, and you will be killed by Wang Renze."
In the darkness, there was a sudden burst of gloomy words.
