Chapter 384: Life and Death
In the past few days, in order to find out the growth habits of Jingtai grass, Lu Tianyu has been running at both ends of Qiya Town and Xuanli Village. In Qiya Town, he mainly spent time in bookstores, looking for some books on Chinese herbal medicine cultivation, and then memorizing them all; In Xuanli Village, it is around the Jingtai grass on the cliff to study its growth habits, its light and humidity.
As for the matter of helping Xuanli Village open tap water, it can only be postponed for the time being, Lu Tianyu believes that as long as the people of Xuanli Village are really rich, the matter of tap water is easy to say.
After a few days of research, combined with the description in "Divine Grass Hundred Directions", Lu Tianyu found that the reason why Jingtai grass is so precious is mainly because it needs a special growth environment.
The cliff with Jingtai grass grows is about seven or eight miles away from Xuanli Village, which is not too far, but it is a rare place, the reason is very simple, there are cliffs and rocks everywhere, there is no road at all, if it weren't for chasing the hundred-step snake, Lu Tianyu would not have run here.
Because it is inaccessible, this small area within a radius of one mile still retains a pristine natural ecological environment, with shrubs, small streams and rivers underground, and the humidity in the air is quite large. In addition, because the place is surrounded by mountains, it forms a low-lying terrain, and it is difficult for water vapor to dissipate, and as a result, the area centered on the cliff is foggy and sunshine is rare for many years, just like the severe smog weather in the capital in winter.
And this kind of cold and damp landform environment that does not see sunlight all year round is very suitable for the growth of Jingtai grass.
After figuring this out, coupled with the knowledge accumulated before, as well as the recent theory of Chinese herbal medicine cultivation, Lu Tianyu decided to make a try to see if he could successfully transplant this precious Jingtai grass.
With this thought, Lu Tianyu wandered around the mountain. If you want to find a suitable place as a base for the transplantation of Jingtai grass, it is best to have a cold and damp environment, and the road is slightly easier to walk, close to Xuanli Village, otherwise, climb the mountain every day. Walking back and forth on a mountain road for more than ten miles is really not a pleasant activity.
For a whole afternoon, Lu Tianyu walked all over the mountainous areas east of Xuanli Village, and he couldn't help but find a suitable place, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, and it was not too early to see the sky, so he had to go home, and the matter of finding a base could only be talked about tomorrow.
With the sunset in the west, Lu Tianyu walked on the mountain road back to the village. Looking at the misty mountains in the distance, I feel like I am watching an ink painting, everything is like a picture, and the painting is like everything.
"What a beautiful view!" Lu Tianyu couldn't help but sigh.
Suddenly, a figure flickered in the woods in the distance, as if there was someone, Lu Tianyu couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "It's so late, and there are still people in such a remote place." It seems a little strange, could it be that he is a bad guy? ”
Come to think of it. Lu Tianyu suddenly raised his vigilance, raised his legs and landed lightly, and quietly touched the dense woods.
Since the sunset had already set in the western mountains, the visibility in the woods was not high, but this did not hinder Lu Tianyu, because his eyes had quite strong night vision.
It is about ten meters away from the woods. Lu Tianyu stopped, and a big tree suddenly appeared in front of him.
This tree is more than 20 meters high, no less than three or four meters in diameter, and the age of the tree should be hundreds of years, and countless branches stretch out in the air. The silhouette like a knife carving shows the traces of time and the passage of time.
However, Lu Tianyu's attention was not on this big tree, his eyes fell on a young man standing next to the big tree.
This is a very quiet-looking young man, wearing a pair of thick glasses, his hair is disheveled, as if he has not been combed for a long time, his face is white and yellow, and there is a deep sadness between his eyebrows.
"Xiaoqing, I'm sorry, I'm leaving you. Originally, I wanted to accompany you through this life, but, but the failures again and again made me physically and mentally exhausted, and I really couldn't support it anymore, I hope you won't blame me. Xiaoqing, I love you! The young man muttered to himself, although his voice was soft, Lu Tianyu could hear it clearly.
After saying this, the young man took out a rope from his pocket, raised his hand and threw it on a branch that was the thickness of an adult's arm and more than two meters above the ground, and tied a dead knot to form a rope loop.
After doing all this, the young man looked up at the sky, stood quietly for a while, sighed deeply, and seemed to have finally made up his mind. He stood on a rock, put his neck in the rope loop, and with a force of his feet, kicked the stone under his feet, and after a few tenths of a second, he was in a state of dangling.
"Not good!" At this time, Lu Tianyu, who was hiding not far away, couldn't hold back any longer, and with an arrow step, he rushed out, rushed to the young man's side, supported the other party's body, and shouted: "You can't die!" ”
However, the young man's desire to seek death is very strong, and in the face of Lu Tianyu, who was killed halfway, he didn't appreciate it at all, his feet moved wildly, and he kept shouting: "You don't care about me, you don't care about me, let me die, let me die!" ”
The strength of the young man's struggle is really not small, Lu Tianyu was kicked by him several times, and it hurt faintly, and in the end, Lu Tianyu had no choice but to come hard.
Turning his palm into a knife, Lu Tianyu slapped the knife and gently cut it at the young man's strong artery, and only this one blow made the young man temporarily unconscious and fainted.
Lu Tianyu supported the young man, exerted his arms to remove his head from the rope loop, and then laid him flat on the ground, looking at the pale face, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "Young age, why do you want to kill yourself?" ”
After more than ten minutes, with a faint sigh, the young man finally woke up, he looked at Lu Tianyu beside him, without thanks, and the first thing he said was, "Why are you meddling?" Wouldn't it be nice for me to leave this world in peace? ”
Facing the young man's complaints, Lu Tianyu was not angry at all, looked at the other party, and said with a smile: "You want to die, I won't stop you, but before I die, I want to ask you a question." ”
"What's the problem?" The young man was stunned.
"When you decided to commit suicide, did you think about how your parents felt? Ever wondered how your lover felt? Ever wondered how your friend felt? Do you really have no nostalgia for this world? At the end of the question, Lu Tianyu's tone had become more and more serious.
Life and death, the most difficult multiple-choice question in life, when you choose death, it means that you have lost everything forever, family, love, and friendship, everything in the world has disappeared and cannot be recalled! (To be continued......)
