After resting for a while at Fengmen Pass, Liang Shirong just stood up and wanted to continue his journey, when his eyes inadvertently saw two strong men dressed in gray and black coming from behind him in the distance.

"Oh, no! Someone is chasing! Liang Shirong's heart twitched suddenly, and he whispered to Liang Jianxing sideways.

Liang Jianxing followed Liang Shirong's hope, and behind the blurred white background, he could still distinguish two stout men chasing in the distance, and asked eagerly, "What should we do?" ”

Liang Shirong looked around and saw an old lychee tree with intricate roots in the depths of the lychee forest, and the trunk was as thick as two people hugging each other, so he suddenly had an idea and said, "Let's go and hide behind the old lychee tree first." ”

Liang Jianxing: "Okay. ”

Liang Shirong's master and apprentice quickly hid behind the old lychee tree and squatted down.

Indeed, the comers came from the north to collect debts.

Fortunately, Liang Shirong, who was resting on the side of the road, spotted them early and wittily hid behind a lychee tree.

The two debt collectors chased them to the foot of the Fengmen Pass, stopped, and looked up to see that the mountain pass in front of them was high and steep, and a rugged path winded up the mountain like a long snake, and the thorns and thatched grass on both sides.

The man who walked in front asked suspiciously, "Will Liang Feihan's father hide in the lychee forest?" ”

The man walking behind looked at the lychee forest, shook his head, and said, "There is no one in it." ”

Liang Shirong and his apprentices hid behind the old lychee tree with thick branches in the depths of the lychee forest, and the swaying and dense branches and foliage blocked the sight of the two monks, so they did not find their figures.

The man who walked in front turned his head and noticed a small village in the distance to the right of the col, and said, "It seems that they will hide there." ”

The man walking behind: "Okay, let's go to the village and search it." ”

The two turned onto the path on the right and headed towards the small village.

Seeing that the chasing person was gone, Liang Shirong thought for a while, and said to Liang Jianxing: "If we go to this side of the road again, they will turn back the same way if they can't find us, so it is easy to meet us." We might as well walk through the lychee forest and go around the mountain trail on the left to Twin Rock Mountain. ”

Liang Jianxing followed the master's instructions, looked through the lychee forest, the col over there was steeper, the woods were denser, and asked, "There is also a trail leading to Tianlu Mountain over there?" ”

Liang Shirong nodded: "Well, I have walked through that mountain trail several times before, although the mountain is steep and very rugged, but it is several miles closer, and after passing the Fengmen Pass, it is Shuangshi Mountain." ”

Liang Jianxing: "In that case, we have no choice but to take that mountain trail. ”

Liang Shirong and his apprentices walked through the dense lychee forest, followed the mountain path on the left, and headed towards Tianlu Mountain.

Liang Shirong's master and apprentice continued to walk hard along the mountain road with nine bends and eighteen bends, walking, and with their strong physique, they unconsciously walked for more than two hours, and came to a mountain col with high ridges and steep ridges.

After a torrential rain, the clouds cleared.

The sun rises in the east, bringing with it a magnificent rainbow.

The land was washed clean by the rain, and the air was fresh.

The birds spread their wings and flew out to feed, scattering a series of chasing cries as they skimmed through the air.

After all, Liang Shirong is a little older, and he feels that his legs are getting heavier and heavier, and the water flowing from his cheeks to his mouth is salty, I don't know if it is rain or sweat. He felt thirstier and thirstier, and saw a green plum grove by the stream in front of him, and stopped when he walked there.

Liang Jianxing went to the stream, took a few sips of water to drink, filled a pot of stream water with a marching pot and gave it to Liang Shirong to drink, and then rested with Liang Shirong against a big plum tree for a while.

After a while, Liang Shirong's master and apprentice started to go on the road again, and unconsciously walked for more than two hours, and finally crossed the mountain col and came to the Luodong Mountain Boundary.

Here, there are many large and small stones on the roadside of the field, and there is a small stream flowing by the roadside, and the dark green basil on both sides is tall and dense, with small yellow-white flowers.

Walking, walking, suddenly, they heard a high and low cry for help not far away.

Although Liang Shirong was old, he also heard the voice and said, "Yaxing, it seems that someone is calling for help in front of you, something must have happened." ”

"yes, let's take a look." They stepped forward quickly.

At this moment, an earthy yellow-haired hound ran towards them from the front, barking "Wang, Wang", and then dragged Liang Shirong's trousers with his mouth and dragged them forward.

Liang Shirong could see that the hound was well-trained, so he followed its drag to the side of the path a few feet away, where a half-man-high basil was overwhelmed, and a man in a gray and black coarse cloth was lying in the basil bush, with a bamboo pipe about a foot long stuck in his waist, and a bow and arrow a few feet away. He clutched his right foot, slutting in pain. The hound rushed forward, swirling around him, looking up at Liang Shirong, and barking from time to time.

Liang Shirong immediately stopped, brushed aside the basil, stepped forward, and asked the man with concern, "What's wrong with you?" ”

The man raised his head when he heard the sound, his face that had been bronze was now pale, his forehead was full of cold sweat, his eyes showed a look of pain and despair, and his voice trembled when he answered, like a gossamer blown by the mountain wind: "I got up this morning to hunt, and found a fox, so I followed it, and I didn't expect that as soon as I chased into this grass, I was bitten by a poisonous snake. It may have been me stepping on that poisonous snake. ”

This man's name is Liang Er, about the same age as Liang Shirong, not tall or short, he has been exposed to the fierce sun for a long time, his skin is dark, and his body is very strong.

Liang Shirong saw that his right foot was already red and swollen like a big radish soaked in water, and immediately bent down to observe the wound, with his many years of experience in the mountains, he judged that this was indeed a wound bitten by a poisonous snake: the wound left by a non-venomous snake bite was red, leaving a neat row of tooth marks, but it only hurt the flesh, and there was no major problem after the pain. After being bitten by a venomous snake, the wound is purple-black around it, and there are two large tooth marks on it.

Liang Shirong looked at it carefully, there were still two poisonous fangs remaining on the tooth marks, and asked, "Do you feel pain now?" ”

Liang Er was so painful that the muscles on his face were twitching, and he gritted his teeth and replied, "It hurts, it hurts." ”

Liang Shirong's face was serious, and he judged: "Look at this wound, this is like a tooth mark that was bitten and saved by a poisonous snake with golden feet." ”

The golden foot band is the name of the GD people, and the scientific name is the krait. It has yellow and black markings on its body, and it is very poisonous. If it is bitten and the treatment is not timely, the venom will flow to the heart mixed with blood circulation, and even if Hua Tuo is reincarnated and Bian Que is reborn, it will not be able to turn the tide. Therefore, people also call the poisonous snake of the golden foot belt the snake king.

Liang Er nodded and replied: "After I chased into this grass, I suddenly felt that my right foot was bitten by something, and there was a stinging pain, which went straight to my heart, and when I looked down, I saw a poisonous snake with yellow and black circles running along the wild grass and fled. I was in such pain that I couldn't move, and soon I collapsed on the grass. I knew that the poisonous snake was very venomous, so I immediately pulled off the belt of my trousers and pierced it more than ten times above the wound on my right foot to prevent the venom from flowing up so quickly. ”

Liang Jianxing also knew that the poison of the golden-footed poisonous snake was not trivial, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he urged: "Master, this matter must not be delayed, you should hurry up and find a way to save people." ”

Liang Shirong's eyes were left and right, and he found that Liang Er had a small hunting knife tied around his waist, and said, "Borrow this knife from you," and after speaking, he took off the small hunting knife.

Not far away, there was the sound of gurgling water. Liang Shirong asked Liang Jianxing to use a marching pot to fill the stream with water, and said to Liang Er: "I'll give you blood and detoxification now, you have to endure the pain, how about it?" ”

"Hmm." Liang Er nodded clearly, rolled up the corners of his clothes, stuffed them into his mouth, and gritted his teeth tightly.

Liang Shirong first rinsed the wound with the water in the pot, and then used a knife to gently cut through the skin between the two fangs on his right foot, and removed the two fangs left in the wound. He had to be very skillful in doing so, because if the cut was too deep, he would hurt the vein; It's too shallow to knock out the fangs.

After picking out the two fangs, Liang Shirong used a knife to make a cross-shaped cut along the tooth marks on Liang Er's right foot, about half an inch long, and used a knife to pick a few small holes, the knife edge was the size of a grain of rice, so as to prevent the wound from occlusion.

Liang Shirong pressed Liang Er's right foot with both hands, and squeezed the wound from top to bottom, causing a part of the purple-black venom to flow out, and immediately cleaned the wound after the knife was stabbed.

After the wound was detoxified, Liang Er immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

Liang Shirong saw that there were still some purple-black things left around the wound, and said, "Alas, there is still a little venom in this wound that can't be squeezed out." ”

Liang Er looked helpless in anxiety: "So, what else can be done?" ”

Liang Shirong frowned and thought for a while, and finally made up his mind and said, "That's it, I'll suck out those venoms for you with my mouth." ”

After hearing this, Liang Er waved his hand again and again: "No, no, it's too dangerous." ”

Liang Shirong said anxiously: "If those venoms remain in your body for too long and then spread, wouldn't your life be more dangerous?" ”

Liang Shirong was indeed reasonable, and Liang Er was groaning: "This ...... This ......"

Liang Shirong said calmly: "There is no way to do it." Don't hesitate anymore, as long as you cooperate. ”

Liang Jianxing knew that the master was going to suck the venom with his mouth, and his heart couldn't help twitching violently, after all, it was the master and the apprentice who connected their hearts. He knew that if the sucking force was too light, he would not be able to suck up the venom, and if the suction force was too strong, it would be fatal to the human body if he accidentally let the venom enter the stomach, so he nervously advised: "Master, you must be careful, don't let those snake venoms fall into the stomach." ”

"Don't worry, I know the danger of those venoms, and I will control the strength and proportion." Liang Shirong said confidently, and then, he lowered his head, put his mouth against Liang Er's wound, and sucked. He sucked hard as he spat out the purple-black venom he had sucked out. Every time, rinse your mouth with the stream water in the pot.

After Liang Shirong treated Liang Er's wound, he rinsed it with stream water, and then untied the trouser belt that Liang Er used to bind the upper part of the wound and returned it to Liang Er.

After Liang Shirong's repeated treatment, Liang Er's originally white face gradually flushed with red tides, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Now the pain in my right foot has decreased a lot. ”

Liang Shirong said solemnly: "Although I have detoxified you, if you don't take further rescue measures, the snake venom remaining in your body will still be very harmful to you." ”

Liang Er stretched out his hand with difficulty and pointed to the cigarette pouch on his waist: "There are tobacco shreds in this." ”

Liang Shirong shook his head: "Tobacco can't solve the problem, you still have to find some snake medicine to apply." ”

Liang Er saw that Liang Shirong was so methodical in treating his wounds just now, and knew that he knew how to treat snake wounds, so he nodded and said, "You think really thoughtfully." ”

Liang Shirong comforted Liang Er: "You are also from the mountains, you should know that there is such a saying in the countryside and mountains, wherever there are poisonous snakes, there will be mountain herbs to detoxify snake venom nearby." ”

Liang Er nodded: "Although I said that, my feet are still swollen and I can't walk." I knew that after being bitten by a poisonous snake, if I ran around, it would accelerate the spread of snake venom in my body, so I didn't dare to run around. ”

"Lie here and don't move, and I'll go find the antidote to the snake's venom." Liang Shirong said, stood up, scanned his eyes everywhere, and looked around. Sure enough, next to a large stone a few feet away from Liang, I found mountain herbs that healed snake wounds - white-flowered snake tongue grass and one-legged lotus. The one-legged lotus is also called a seven-leaf flower, the effect is to clear heat and detoxify, reduce swelling and relieve pain, cool the liver and calm the shock, and the treatment of snake wounds is quite effective.

Liang Shirong walked quickly, put the mountain herbs he picked back into his mouth, chewed it, spit it out, applied it to the wound on Liang Er's right foot, and then bandaged it with a cloth band.

At this moment, the hound ran back from the grass with a yellow, black and red thing in his mouth.

Liang Er looked at it and saw that what the hound had brought back was the corpse of the krait. It can be seen that when Liang Shirong treated Liang Er, the hound was not willing to let the poisonous snake that harmed its owner slip away, so he chased after him and fought with the poisonous snake, and finally bit the poisonous snake to death, avenging the master.

Liang Er made a discarding gesture to the hound, and the hound, who shook his head knowingly, shook the body of the poisonous snake a few feet away, and then ran back to his master's side.

Liang Er caressed the hound lovingly and praised: "Ah Wang, you are really good!" ”

It can be seen that the hunting dog that Liang Er is carrying is called "Ah Wang".

At this time, Liang Shirong had already finished treating Liang Er's wounds, let out a long breath, and said to Liang Er: "It seems that your dangerous period has passed." ”

Escaping from the clutches of death, Liang Er was full of gratitude to this stranger: "Thank you great benefactor, you have reached out to the rescue today." ”

Liang Shirong replied lightly: "Meeting you in the mountains is just destined." ”

Liang Jianxing: "We people in the mountains, who don't have a mistake, everyone must help if they can." ”

Liang Er said sincerely: "No matter what, I want to repay you." ”

"Helping others is like helping yourself, don't talk about anything in return," Liang Shirong picked up the bow and arrow scattered aside, put it beside Liang Er, and asked, "Which village are you from?" How did you get bitten by a poisonous snake when you got here? ”

Liang Er stretched out his hand and pointed to the mountain: "My surname is Liang, my name is Yaer, and I am from Mawangzhai on Stone Mountain." Most of our people there make a living from hunting. ”

Liang Shirong: "Ah, it turns out that we have the same surname, no wonder I feel a little intimate when I see you." ”

Liang Er's eyes were full of gratitude: "There is a way to go up the mountain and eventually meet the tiger, and I met that hateful poisonous snake today." If I hadn't met you, a great benefactor, I would have died in this barren mountain and wilderness. ”

Liang Shirong was serious: "This is what I should do, save people's lives, and win the seventh-level floating slaughter." ”

Liang Er said admiringly: "Yo, benefactor, your export is Buddhism, it seems that your foundation for learning Buddhism is not shallow." ”

Liang Shirong humbly said: "I just know a little bit about Buddhism. ”

At this time, Liang Er remembered that he hadn't asked for the name of the life-saving benefactor, so he was full of gratitude: "Benefactor, may I ask what I should call you?" ”

Liang Shirong replied humorously: "You and I have the same surname, and we were the same family five hundred years ago, just call me Ah Rong." ”

"Ah Rong? Good name. As the name suggests, it is easy to get along with. Liang Er pointed to Liang Jianxing, who was sitting on the big stone on the road, and asked, "What is this brother called?" ”

Liang Jianxing stood up and replied: "I am also surnamed Liang, my name is Jianxing, and my predecessors give me a lot of advice." ”

"Haha! We're really connected. The three of them said in unison. After introducing each other, Liang Er suddenly thought of something, "How did you come to our deep mountains and mountains?" ”

Liang Shirong saw that this person was kind and kind-eyed, and speculated that he was an honest and good person, and sighed: "We are here to take refuge." ”

"Evacuation?" Liang Er's face suddenly became a little nervous, looked at the two of them, and asked, "You broke the law?" ”

Liang Shirong shook his head: "No." ”

Liang Er: "So, robbed other people's money?" ”

Liang Jianxing contemptuously: "Money, for us, is nothing. ”

Liang Shirong: "We have never done anything that hurts nature and reason. ”

Liang Er was a little puzzled: "You are such a good person, will you still have any enemies?" ”

Liang Shirong: "The world is complicated, this matter is difficult to explain, if there is a chance, I will tell you in detail in the future." ”

Liang Er is an empathetic mountain man, listening to Liang Shirong's tone, he knew that he had something unspeakable, so he didn't ask anymore.

Liang Er understood at this time, which relative's and friend's house do you plan to settle in after you go up the mountain? ”

Liang Shirong said bluntly: "We don't have relatives and friends on the mountain, so let everything be fate." ”

Liang Er listened to the voice and understood: "Ah, it turns out that you don't have a place to stay when you come out this time." ”

Liang Shirong grinned, with an optimistic demeanor: "We are used to living in the mountains and forests and caves, there are streams to drink and wild fruits to satisfy hunger. Nothing in the world can stump us. ”

Liang Er pinched his chin, thought for a while, and said, "Great benefactor, if you don't dislike it, go to our house to stay for a while, and I'll find a hidden place for you to hide." ”

Liang Shirong waved his hand and excused himself: "You're welcome." ”

Liang Er: "Why?" ”

Liang Shirong: "I don't want to cause trouble to your family. ”

Hearing Liang Shirong's answer, Liang Er's eyebrows rose up, his face sank, and he was unhappy: "Yo, in this way, you are taking me Liang Er astray." You've been a lifesaver to me today, and that's a big deal. If I don't repay you, I'll be struck by heaven's wrath! ”

Liang Shirong was still silent: "This ......"

Liang Er saw Liang Shirong's expression and knew that he was tempted, so he came up with a reason: "The wound you dealt with the bite of the poisonous snake just now is so old, I hope you can stay at my house and pick some mountain herbs for me to heal, so that I can heal and recover as soon as possible." ”

Liang Er's move is really good, and Liang Shirong has nothing to dodge.

Liang Shirong thought for a while and said to Liang Er: "Since you are so warmly invited, then, we can only do what you say." ”

"Alright, let's go up the mountain." After Liang Er finished speaking, he pressed his hands on the ground and struggled to stand up, but as soon as he took a step, he felt pain in his heart, his feet were weak, and he couldn't walk anymore, his body swayed a few times, and he tilted to the side like a willow branch blown by the wind.

Fortunately, Liang Shirong was quick and held him up, otherwise he would fall to the ground.

Liang Shirong said: "It seems that you can't walk yet." ”

Liang Er beat his right foot stupidly: "Alas, you, you are really not angry." "I pulled out the bamboo pipe at my waist and took a few big puffs.

Liang Shirong looked at Liang Er's right foot, which was still red and swollen, and knew that if he walked strongly, a large amount of blood would definitely gush out of the wound. Liang Jianxing volunteered and stepped forward: "Second brother, I'll carry you." ”

Liang Er hesitated after hearing this: "This ...... This ......"

Liang Er felt that it was really unpleasant to do this, and waved his hand: "This can't be done." ”

"If there's anything you can't do, don't push it anymore. Besides, we're going to give you a lot of trouble if we live in your home. Liang Shirong thought of something, and said to Liang Er: "Wait until I go pick some snake tongue grass and bring it back to the mountain to boil water for you to drink tonight, so that the snake venom left on your body will be dissolved as soon as possible." ”

Liang Er gratefully: "Yarong, you are really thoughtful in your way of dealing with people. ”

Liang Shirong went over there to pick a large stack of mountain herbs for snake control, and picked up the scattered bows and arrows and other objects for Liang Er, Liang Jianxing squatted down, bent down, and let Liang Er lie behind his back.

Liang Er faced Liang Jianxing, who was bent over, and was still hesitating.

Liang Shirong: "Let him carry it, go home as soon as possible, maybe your family is looking forward to your return." ”

"Okay." Liang Er had no choice but to put the bamboo pipe back into his waist, lie on Liang Jianxing's back, and bow his head to the hound and shouted, "Ah Wang, you follow us!" ”

When the hound heard his master's command, Ah Wang raised his head and barked three times in response.

Liang Shirong saw that the hunting dog's belly was swollen, and asked Liang Er: "Is this hunting dog pregnant?" ”

Liang Er replied, "Yes, in a few days, Wang will give birth to a puppy." I wouldn't let it follow, but it still sneaked after me, and there was really nothing it could do. ”

Liang Shirong: "It cares so much about your master's fate, it's really a godsend!" ”

Liang Er: "This is also. ”

Liang Jianxing bent over, waited for Liang Er to lie behind him, and then straightened up and stood up.

Liang Er is a strong man, very heavy, Liang Jianxing gritted his teeth, went up, stood up, took a step, and walked towards the Stone Mountain Horse King Village step by step.

The hound wagged his tail and followed Liang Er forward......
