The north wind was howling, and the wind and snow were very urgent. The land is covered in silver, and even Yingchuan City, which is lively on weekdays, is in a silent world of ice and snow.

The snow fell like goose feathers, and with the cry of the morning chicken, the gate of Yingchuan City was opened, and a Upeng carriage could not wait to drive out of the city, leaving two wheel prints on the city gate road.

"Isn't this the Zhong family's carriage? Leaving the city early in the morning, what are you doing in such a hurry? A soldier at the city gate looked at the carriage in the distance and couldn't help muttering.

"I heard that the daughter-in-law of a descendant of the Zhong family is about to give birth to a baby in the countryside, and she is in a hurry to drive out of the city!" Another soldier said immediately.

In the vast snow, the carriage, rolling its wheels and leaving deep marks in the snow, was eagerly heading north.

The snow has stopped, and the sky has cleared.

But the temperature is even lower. The horses in the carriage were also exhausted from the constant running, and were now slowly walking on the road. And there was a strange sound from the car, like the whining of a child. The sound was particularly permeable in the empty snow.

The coachman couldn't help but scold: "Can't you two let him be quiet for a while?" ”

There was a sound of smashing things in the car, and sure enough, the crying of the children in the car soon ceased.

The carriage walked through the snow for a whole day, and it was not until late evening that it entered a barren-looking mountain. The carriage stopped next to a trail.

The driver said, "That's all the car can go here." The rest of the road, the car is not passable. Come down and carry it around! There is a cliff on the other side of the mountain, and at the bottom of the cliff is a deep valley, and there is no bottom, and after throwing things away, go and come back quickly. ”

Two young men jumped out of the car.

The two young men didn't say anything, and they took turns carrying a bulging burlap bag and walked forward. Step by step, I finally came to the top of a cliff.

Looking at the abyss, the bottomless abyss valley is shrouded in clouds and mist, and people stand on it in fear. The two young men couldn't help but shrink their heads, one of them put down the sack, and the other put his hands together and bowed: "There is a wrong, there is a debtor, the person who harmed you is not our two brothers, if you want to find someone to take revenge, don't look for our brothers!" ”

"What are you talking about! Hurry up and throw the bag down! ”

"Big brother, I can't do it." The young man who was holding his hands stood up and wanted to push the bag down, but he was horrified to find that the bag was still moving, and couldn't help but look at the young man behind him and said.

"Rubbish!" Hearing his younger brother say this, as an elder brother, he couldn't help pouting and scolded, "Look at me." As he spoke, he kicked the burlap bag off the cliff.

Seeing the eldest brother like this, the younger brother was stunned. When the eldest brother saw that his younger brother was stunned, he couldn't help but pull his younger brother away, and then said, "Let's go." If you don't leave, it will be dark. ”

The afterglow of the setting sun shone between the heavens and the earth, instantly dyeing this flat land a blood-colored color. The peach blossoms in the peach blossom forest are gilded with a piece of gold under the setting sun.

A big river, the river flows from west to east, the peach blossoms falling in the peach blossom forest float on the river, and on a big bluestone next to the big river, an old man is holding a fishing rod to fish.

He was quiet, as quiet as a peach blossom forest under the sunset.

Suddenly, a sack floated up with the current and hung on his hook. Looking at this sack, he was stunned. How can there be sacks here?

He lowered his rod, went into the water, and pulled the sack ashore.

When I opened the sack, I found that inside the sack was a child with a bleeding head, and the child's mouth was blocked with thick strips of cloth, his hands were tied behind his back, and his hands and feet were also firmly tied.

The old man probed the child's snort with his hand, and then touched the artery above the child's neck with his hand, and he quickly took the child out of his bag and floated away like a ghost.

This is a grass house, a grass house in a peach blossom forest.

It is also the old man's home, and after the old man put the child down, he immediately took out a silver needle and pierced it on the child's body. And just when the old man was busy and dizzy, suddenly a person's voice came from outside the door.

"Old ghost, are you there? I'm here to beg for a drink. ”

Hearing this voice, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, what did he really want, what did he come. He hurriedly greeted him and said to the visitor: "Old Dao, you came just in time. I need your help here! Hurry up and show me......"

After the old man finished speaking, he pulled the person in, and then came to the child's bedside.

"One hundred and eight soul chasing needles, old ghost, when did you steal the school?" When the visitor saw the silver needles of different sizes inserted in the child's body, he couldn't help but smile and said.

Looking at the casual appearance of the visitor, the old man said in a little anxious: "Don't worry about these, you hurry up and save people." ”

"Saving people? Why save people? When the visitor heard this, he couldn't help but look at the old man and said. He had an expression that I had no relationship with him for no reason, why should I save him.

The old man said a little unhappily at the moment: "You old way, aren't you a doctor?" Isn't it your duty to heal the sick and save people? ”

After hearing the old man's words, the person who came touched his beard and said: "Life and death are fate, and each is safe and cause and effect, so why should I interfere arbitrarily?" If this child is destined to die, then he will definitely not live, and if he is destined to live, he will definitely not die. ”

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but punch the person who came, and then scolded: "Don't fool me with your fatalism." Your Taoist set is useless to me. Hurry up and save me, or you won't want to get a drop of wine from me in the future!" ”

"It hurts...... Can't you just be gentle? Aren't your Mohists paying attention to both non-aggression and love? The person who came covered his chin and looked at the old man with some grievances.

The old man glanced at the person who came at the moment, and then sneered and said, "I'm not from the Mo family. Don't talk nonsense, if you don't save people, don't want to get a glass of wine from me in the future. ”

The person who came immediately said, "Okay, can't I save it?" But well, this kid is so badly injured and saved, and if you can't get it right, you're an idiot, do you think it's necessary? ”

"Less nonsense!" The old man couldn't help but scold at the moment.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, as far as I understand, being angry is not good for health, and if you don't get it, you will die young......"

Hearing that the person was so verbose, the old man raised his fist, with an expression on his face that you are talking nonsense to see if I will beat you or not. When the visitor saw the old man's raised fist, he quickly shut up, picked up the child's little hand very seriously, and checked the pulse. His expression of serious pulse diagnosis was completely different from his usual chattering expression, as if he was a different person.
