Chapter 71: Salvation (2nd Watch)

"There is the sun and the moon hanging in the morning and dusk, and there are ghosts and gods who hold the power of life and death. Heaven and earth are also only able to distinguish the turbidity, but how can they be confused and suddenly steal the feet and Yan Yuan? Those who do good suffer from poverty and have a shorter life, but those who do evil enjoy prosperity and live longer. Heaven and earth also! I was afraid of being hard and soft, but I was so smooth to push the boat! The land is also, you don't distinguish between good and bad! God, you are wrong to be foolish! Hey, only two tears rippled......"

As the sky became brighter and brighter, and the singing became clearer, Chen Mo felt that the lyrics were very familiar, and recalled carefully, isn't this a famous sentence in Guan Hanqing's masterpiece "Dou E's Injustice"? This man sings very emotionally, piercing the clouds and cracking gold when he is high-pitched, and reverberating when he is low.

The singing stopped abruptly a few feet away from the entrance of the cave, and the man was suddenly shocked, "Why does it seem that someone has come?" Lao Liu is dead, who will come to this wilderness except us? ”

"Help, helpβ€”"

Chen Mo didn't speak, Caiyu had already screamed, afraid of scaring away the other party, so he hurriedly followed Yinghe, and at the same time did not forget to show his identity: "The big brother outside, we are the eunuchs in the Zhaoling Mausoleum, and we accidentally fell into the hole, please help you, there will be a heavy thank you." After saying that, he regretted it suddenly, and said in his heart: "Listening to him singing, full of hatred, this place should not be far from Zhaoling, in case that hatred comes from the eunuchs in the tomb, wouldn't it be ......" A heart jumped suddenly, for fear that the man would turn around and leave, it would really only be waiting for death.

At this moment, the sky was already bright, and there was silence outside for a moment, Chen Mo and Caiyu also stopped calling, looked at each other, and at the same time saw worry on each other's faces.

"Are you a human being or a ghost? Early in the morning, don't come out and be scared......" The man said suddenly, his voice trembling faintly, but he was also closer to the entrance of the cave.

Chen Mo smiled, relaxed, raised his voice and said, "You also said, early in the morning, if we are ghosts, when the sun shines, won't it be ashes?" ”

"That's right, blue sky and white day, where did the ghost come from? Let the two of them laugh, let ...... Poof, hahaha...... "The man originally spoke well, but suddenly he sneered, and the person had walked to the entrance of the cave, squatted down to hold back his smile, and said: "The two of them are really unlucky, look at this trap dug, I think it was done by Brother Liu to catch the bear blind, but the two of them were trapped, if he knows under the spring, I don't know how to feel." As he spoke, he untied the rope from his waist and hung down to the hole: "Later, let's tie this head to the tree first...... Well, well, it's on! ”

Chen Mo grabbed the rope with his hand, it was very strong, looked at Caiyu and said, "You have little strength, let's go up first, and then you tie the rope to your waist, and we will pull you up again." ”

Caiyu nodded his head: "You slow down!" ”

Chen Mo suddenly smiled: "Aren't you afraid that we won't save you after we go up?" You know our secret, in this deep mountain and old forest, as long as you are left behind, it can be said that you have dealt with a ** annoyance without knowing it......"

Caiyu also smiled, brighter than spring flowers: "We believe you...... Go for it, slow down! ”

Chen Mo looked at her steadily, seeing that her eyes were quiet and serene, without any pretense, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, glad that he didn't make a big mistake last night. He didn't want Caiyu to see through his thoughts, so he turned around and grabbed the rope, kicked the cave wall, and slowly climbed up. As soon as he stepped on the ground, he didn't care about sweating profusely, so he leaned down and shouted: "Caiyu, you tie it strongly," and then looked at the man next to him: "Big brother, help, we have little strength, I'm afraid of ......"

"Okay!" The man was dressed in short clothes, no more than thirty years old, with dark skin, lean body, but not small strength, with his help, Chen Mo quickly dragged Caiyu up from the hole.

"It's so nice out there!" Caiyu quickly untied the rope around her waist, first closed her eyes and stretched her waist, took a deep breath of the fresh and cold air of the morning, and raised her eyes for a moment: "What are you two looking at?" Do we have something on our faces? ”

"No, no......" The man lowered his head in panic, as if he had been caught as a thief.

Chen Mo came back to his senses, sighed, didn't answer Caiyu's question, and instead bowed deeply to the man next to him, and said, "Patronize and save our sister, you haven't asked this eldest brother for his name, I don't know ......?" ”

The man didn't dare to look at Caiyu anymore, lowered his head and waved his hand and said: "Don't raise your hand, don't dare to be, don't dare to be, don't be surnamed Zhao, a single name is Ci, the word is Jishi, and he is from Hongmen Village." You two ......"

"You're from Red Gate Village?" Caiyu interrupted Zhao Ci and asked in surprise, "Then do you know Zhao Wenkui?" What about sister-in-law? ”

When Zhao Ci heard "Zhao Wenkui", he lowered his hands and stood solemnly, and when he heard "Sister-in-law Wang", the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and said: "Lord Zhao is a big generation, it is our uncle, as for Sister-in-law Wang, what the girl said is Wang Jiye's family?" Well, it's Wang Zhengye's younger brother......"

Only then did Chen Mo know that "Zhao Wenkui" was Lao Zhao, who had just become the ambassador of the Ministry of Industry, and he couldn't help but secretly accuse himself of being careless, he hadn't asked his name after knowing him for so long.

"It seems that you are really from Hongmen Village, we know both of them. By the way, our name is Caiyu, his name is Chen Mo, the new ......"

"You are the Chen Mo Chen Gonggong who made the hot air balloon?" Zhao Ci interrupted Caiyu in surprise, looked at Chen Mo with a face full of disbelief, and saw that he nodded slightly, and then continued: "Great, I didn't expect to see you in this wilderness, last year when your old man called the people in the village to cut wood and build a hot air balloon, it coincided with the 100th day of clumsy jing, the villain burned incense and bathed, fasted for half a month, and actually missed the master, this year I heard my uncle tell about the master's demeanor, and I have always been sorry...... By the way, the master is not in the capital, why did he come here? ”

The feeling of being famous is really happy, Chen Mo was a little happy, but his face was impassive, and said: "It's hard to say, let's talk about this matter every time we go back." Since you are from Hongmen Village, this place is ...... away from Hongmen Village."

"It's not far, it's not far, it's over that mountain beam."

Chen Mo nodded secretly, and asked again: "You said that Lao Liu ...... at the right time?"

"Lao Liu?" Zhao Ci interrupted Chen Mo and said with a sigh: "It's also from Hongmen Village, and it's also a poor person, his ancestors worked as farmers, and in his lifetime, he got a serious illness, his family business was ruined, and he became a tenant of Wang Zhengye's family." However, in these years, he still can't eat enough to grow his own land, not to mention paying so much rent, so he goes into the mountains every once in a while to hunt some wild things and exchange them for some firewood, rice, oil, salt, and the like. ”

"Then what did you say about him just now? Newly dead? Chen Mo listened to Zhao Ci's long-winded words, and simply cut directly to the topic.

Zhao Ci gritted his teeth when he heard this, and said: "It's not that damn Wang Zhengye, I heard that Lao Liu has a means of hunting, so I forced him to sacrifice a pair of bear paws and a bear skin, so that he can stammer when he lives a long life in a few days...... Bastard, this is just spring, the bear blind cat hasn't come out in winter, where to hunt? If you don't hunt, we can't afford to provoke Wang Zhengye, Lao Liu can only go up the mountain, this hole is estimated to be dug by him, and then fell off the cliff when he returned to the village as a child, and when we found him, only the bones were left by the beasts, if it weren't for the clothes, he wouldn't be able to recognize it at all. ”

Saying that, he knelt down: "Listen to my uncle, my lord, you are different from those fathers-in-law in the mausoleum, ask the master to call the shots, and avenge Lao Liu and us!" ”

"You? What grievances do you have? Chen Mo asked in surprise, suddenly remembering that he had said that his wife was newly mourned, and couldn't help but ask again: "Could it be that it has something to do with your wife?" ”
