Chapter 5: A New Way
As soon as the little beggar said this, Hua Laosi couldn't help but be overjoyed, jumped up, laughed, clapped his hands and said: "You kid is not bad, it's interesting enough, good, good!" Rattle! That's it, that's it! ”
Hua Laosi was certainly overjoyed, but Yan Laosan was frowning, hesitant in his heart, wanting to go with Wen Tianqi, but also not worrying about the little beggar's promise, for a while, the mood was extremely contradictory.
Hua Laosi was overjoyed, and suddenly found that Yan Laosan was still in contradiction and hesitation, and he was anxious, so he opened his mouth and urged: "I said Yan Laosan, what's the matter with you, it's rare that this kid understands righteousness and is interesting enough!" How can you still be a mother-in-law, it's like a girl, time is precious, those people in front of you have been gone for so long, quick, fast! ”
Yan Laosan frowned twice, stared at the little beggar, his eyes flickered, and then looked at Hua Laosi, only to see Hua Laosi's anxious look, he sighed in his heart, and made a secret decision.
Yan Laosan took out an object from his arms, it was a small black and fishy pill, held it flat with his palm, walked to the little beggar, and said slowly: "Little ghost, it's not that I don't believe you, I also thank you for your kindness, but, just in case, I have to make this decision......" His eyes stared at the little beggar, paused, and said: "In the palm of my hand is a pill" Frost Wind Pill', contains highly poisonous, but it will start to attack in two days, I need you to see someone, a day and a half is enough, after meeting that person, you explain the situation, he will give you the antidote, it is helpless, no wonder, no blame......" Saying, Yan Laosan shook his head, sighed again, looked directly at the little beggar, and said, "Do you agree?" Don't worry, if you don't agree, I won't force you...... It's just that Hua Laosi and I have no choice but to accompany you to meet that person. ”
Hua Laosi saw that Yan Laosan took out the "Frost Wind Pill" to coerce the little beggar to accept it, and he was a little unhappy with this behavior, but he was afraid that the little beggar would not agree to accept it, and then he couldn't go with Wen Tianqi, so he couldn't help but glance at Yan Laosan and muttered: "What are you doing with this thing!" Then he turned to the little beggar and said: "Boy, this 'Frost Wind Pill' does not attack until two days later, as long as you see that person, he will definitely give you an antidote, you can rest assured, after detoxification, the 'Frost Wind Pill' will definitely not have any side effects." After speaking, he looked at the little beggar with an encouraging and expectant look in his eyes.
The little beggar's eyes shifted from Yan Laosan's face, to Hua Laosi's face, and then to the black pill "Frost Wind Pill" in Yan Laosan's palm, and he thought to himself: "These two people, I am kind enough to fulfill them, but they take poison to me to eat, which is a bit shameless." "When I feel unfair, my face shows resentment.
Wen Tianqi, who was watching from the sidelines, saw that Yan Laosan actually took out poison to coerce beggars and children to eat in order to go with him, and he was also quite dissatisfied, he was a straightforward person, so he snorted coldly at the moment: "I can't imagine that Yan Laosan, the dignified 'yīn wind ghost', actually forced the child to eat poison, hehe, there is really your ......."
When Yan Laosan heard this, a trace of shame flashed on his face, knowing that Wen Tianqi looked down on his actions, and he was also a little ashamed of himself in his heart, he closed his palms, held the pill, shook his head and said: "Forget it, it's okay, since my two brothers have nothing to do with the 'Golden Dragon Tuzhu'......" turned to face Wen Tianqi and continued: "Then, Fourth Brother Wen, let's say goodbye, don't delay your time anymore, and say goodbye." After saying that, he arched his hand.
When Hua Laosi saw Yan Laosan say this, he was in a hurry, and hurriedly said to the little beggar: "Boy, even if you don't eat this 'Frost Wind Pill', you have to go with us, and if you eat this 'Frost Wind Pill', you will also go, the left and right are still the same, boy, help me with this, just when I Hua Lao Si owes you a favor, if there is something in the future, I will definitely help you...... How is it? ”
The little beggar thought to himself, "For you, I'm going anyway, of course; But to me, it's a poison for me to eat, and it's different. He glared at Hua Laosi and said loudly: "What's the same left and right?" 'You're okay every day, first take one or two pills of poison, then one or two pills of antidote, first poison, then detoxification, anyway, it's still the same and it's not poisonous, you try it every day to see if it's the same? ”
"This ...... This ......" Hua Laosi grinned, yù stopped talking, thinking that it was really irrefutable, he sighed, scratched his head, and paced restlessly on the road.
The little beggar saw Hua Laosi wandering all over the ground, scratching his ears and cheeks, and thought again: "Alas, I also promised the two of them something, and since I agreed, I have to do it, although I have to eat the poison, but after that, I can detoxify, and it is okay." lest they feel uncomfortable when they get it, and even if they have no choice but to go with me, they may secretly harm me and make me suffer. Thinking of this, he raised his head and said: "Forget it, I promised you something, and I will never go back, since I want to go anyway, take a poison, then eat a poison!" ”
When Hua Laosi heard this, he was suddenly surprised, jumped up, put his hands under the little beggar's armpits, lifted him up, and shouted: "Really! Boy, what you say is true! ”
The little beggar nodded.
Hua Laosi cheered, excitement filled his face, and he smiled: "Okay! Good boy, if you have anything to do in the future, just tell me Hua Laosi, I will definitely help you! ”
The little beggar turned his head to look at Yan Laosan on the other side, Yan Laosan glanced at the little beggar, slowly released his palm, revealing the black "Frost Wind Pill", the little beggar reached out and took it, his face was not afraid, without the slightest hesitation, he swallowed his stomach in one bite, and after eating it, he even opened his mouth and smiled, and said to Yan Laosan: "Now, you can rest assured, right?" ”
Yan Laosan's eyes were full of brilliance, and he looked deeply into the eyes of the little beggar, and said slowly: "You follow this avenue, go east, according to your footsteps, in the afternoon you will be able to see a large forest, that is the 'Black Wind Forest', when you get there, do not enter the woods, and then follow the forest, turn south, after a while, you will be able to see a river, called the 'Holy Mother River', do not cross the river, and then go up along the river, go southeast, when it is dark, you can see a high mountain, called' At the foot of the mountain, there is a farmhouse with dry food and overnight utensils, where you can rest. Climb the mountain after dawn, there is a broken temple on the top of the mountain, called 'Tianshen Temple', you walk in, shout three times 'ghost Lu Linlin, Yanshan is respected' to see that person, as long as the situation here is explained, the rest of him will tell sù what should you do......" paused, and said: "Have you heard clear?" ”
The little beggar listened carefully, his eyes rolled, and after remembering it by heart, he nodded.
Yan Laosan said: "Did you really hear clearly?" ”
The little beggar grinned and said, "I remember, don't worry, I will never mistake you." ”
Hua Laosi was impatient on the side, and seeing that he had explained clearly, he dragged Yan Laosan and said hurriedly: "Okay, okay!" Let's go, let's go! ”
Yan Lao didn't look back, he threw off Hua Lao Si, stretched out his hand, and said, "Wait!" ”
Hua Laosi was slightly stunned, jumped to his feet anxiously, and shouted: "What are you doing?" What's wrong with it? ”
Yan Laosan ignored him, reached into his arms, took out a pearl of citrine crystal, handed it to the little beggar, and said: "You must remember, when you arrive at the 'Shuntian Mountain', it is too late, you have a good rest, and you must not climb the mountain overnight." There is a bamboo forest on the mountainside, called 'Ten Thousand Poisonous Forest', which is full of poisonous snakes, to the second rì daylight, in the early morning, the poisonous snake sleeps, as far as kuài through the forest, this is a 'male yellow jīng', used to avoid snakes, when the time will hold it in the hand, where there is a snake to come, then use it to block, the poisonous snake will avoid, remember, remember! ”
Hua Laosi raised his hand and patted his forehead, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I almost forgot, there is a snake forest halfway up the mountain, if we go together, it is not to be afraid, but if you go alone, you really have to bring 'male yellow jīng', quack, quack!" After saying that, he laughed dryly.
Yan Laosan glanced at Hua Laosi coldly, Hua Laosi scratched his head embarrassedly, and laughed dryly.
The little beggar stretched out his hand to take the "male yellow jīng", put it in his arms and said, "I remember." ”
Yan Laosan nodded, looked at the little beggar deeply, and suddenly said softly: "You have to be careful, take care!" ”
The little beggar was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't imagine that Yan Laosan, who had always been a cold "yīn wind ghost", would suddenly say such warm words, and when he heard it in his ears, the little beggar couldn't help but be stunned
"Quack!" Hua Laosi also grinned, patted the little beggar on the shoulder, and said in a rough voice: "Boy, don't worry, we have no malice, your trip is frightening and dangerous, believe me, be careful on the road." ”
Seeing that the explanation had been completed, Wen Tianqi turned his head, pulled the reins of the horse with both hands, and clamped his legs, as if galloping. Yan and Hua glanced at each other, laughed, their hands fluttered, and followed closely behind, and a few flutters were already far away.
On the empty road, only the lonely figure of the little beggar remained, and the little beggar stood for a while, silently turned around speechlessly, identified the direction, and went east along the avenue.
The early morning has passed, the red rì is shining, there is a slight mist, Qilin City, the suburbs.
The little beggar walked forward, thinking about his thoughts, helpless since he was a child, lonely and adrift for sixteen years, with warm and cold feelings, bitterness and bitterness; Attract people's eyes, no one cares. However, yesterday I met a wise silver-haired old man, since he handed him three moldy baked cakes, suddenly, as if his fate had really changed, his tiny life began to walk on the world stage, a series of people and things that had nothing to do with him, mixed and entangled.
Thinking of this, the little beggar couldn't help but reach into his arms again, touched the three cold and hard moldy baked cakes, but still don't know the use of these three baked cakes, the little beggar frowned slightly, this is indeed quite distressed, as if in the treasure mountain, and there is no way to take the treasure, the little beggar sighed, the palm of his hand moved slightly, and touched a small cylinder, remembering that it was a "guide bee", and when he landed, he remembered the "Nantian Dog King" spirit retort.
He is indeed a strange and interesting person, from the beginning of the idea of baking his own cakes, to later, he helped himself to deter Yan and Hua, forcing them to make a heavy oath, so that they did not dare to fight their own idea of baking cakes, although they acted according to their own preferences, but they acted uprightly, upright, broad-minded, but also brave and righteous people. Thinking of him, the little beggar couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia, and spontaneously came back to him.
In a blink of an eye, the little beggar thought of Yan and Hua again, the first thing that came to mind was Hua Laosi, the corners of the little beggar's mouth curled, and a smile appeared, Hua Laosi was rude, but he was bold, he was straightforward and straightforward, he would never beat around the bush, he would say what he should say, he would scold if he wanted to, he would be easy to be fooled, and he would not deceive people, he would say that it was good or not, and it was not bad to say that it was bad, if he thought about it carefully, he was still very straightforward and cute, but Yan Laosan was just the opposite.
Yan Laosan is cold, dense, cold, and unkind, but he is decisive, calm, good at thinking, responsive, and almost ruthless in order to achieve his goal.
But in the end, Yan Laosan actually gently reminded himself to pay attention, but it made the little beggar have some changes in his opinion of Yan Laosan, feeling that Yan Laosan seemed to be cold on the outside, but still had some warmth in his heart.
The little beggar thought again, I really don't know what the "unicorn descends into the world, and the golden dragon spits pearls" is? Is it human? Is it a thing? Or is it something to refer to? It attracted so many strange people, who came from thousands of miles away, and the party was here, thinking of those strange people, the little beggar couldn't help but shudder again, remembering the zombie team he met in the middle of the night last night.
"Huh!" The little beggar thought of this and exclaimed, the two of Yan and Hua seemed to know the zombie team, and at that time, Hua Laosi seemed to say what "ghost king" and what "hooking souls"? The little beggar secretly decided that he would definitely ask if he had the opportunity next time.
The little beggar's thoughts were vague, and suddenly, a beautiful figure came to his mind, it was the girl in white, the little beggar's heartstrings shook suddenly, and he was cranky for a while, and he didn't know where his soul flew......
Following the direction indicated by Yan Laosan, the little beggar thought about his own thoughts and walked silently. In the afternoon, I saw a deep green forest in front of me, and a large forest stretched out in front of me, only to see a thick green, covering the sky and the earth, and the green and hazy. "This is the 'Black Wind Forest'." The little beggar thought to himself.
The little beggar walked along the forest, turned south, and suddenly saw a wild fruit tree, the tree was fruitful, the little beggar was overjoyed, and he was full of food, and the god of jīng was shocked. Then, continue to walk, after a short time, only to hear the boom, boom, boom, rushing sound of the water kept coming, followed the sound, over a small hill, but saw the Virgin River mighty rushing from the foot of the mountain. Walking along the hillside to the river, rì gradually slopes westward, illuminating the jasper-like river surface as if inlaid with a layer of gold.
According to what Yan Laosan said, the little beggar went up the river in a roundabout way and went southeast, but he saw that there were mountains and rocks, and there was no path. Walking along the trail, I walked for more than four or five miles, and when it was dark, I finally saw the farmhouse that Yan Laosan said.
The little beggar entered the farmhouse, only to see a wooden table in the middle of the room, there was a stool in front of the table, there was a candlestick on the table, which was full of patina, and the table was also dusty, I don't know how long no one had come here, the west head was a stove, which had long since collapsed, and there was a thick round wooden barrel used to hold rice next to it, and there was a wooden bed in the corner of the east side, and there was no pillow clothes on the bed.
The little beggar looked around, and saw that the dust accumulated on the lid of the thick round wooden barrel next to the collapsed stove was not thick, and it looked much cleaner than the other furnishings in the room. At that moment, he walked over, lifted the lid of the barrel, stretched out his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a pile of dry food that had been wrapped in a dry cloth, and a quilt that was not thick.
At this time, the night was hazy, and the little beggar took out the contents of the barrel, and after eating the dry food, he wrapped himself in a quilt and slept on the ground. In the early hours of the morning, as soon as the sky was hazy, the little beggar rubbed his eyes, got up, put the quilt back into the barrel, tied the dry food to himself, and after packing up, he went out the door.
Bypassing the farmhouse, the little beggar only felt a dark in front of him, but saw a big mountain, towering in the clouds, the lofty mountains and mountains were shrouded in a gray and heavy mist, the mountains were sagging, the peaks and peaks were abrupt, the shape was very steep, the little beggar walked forward, only to see the rocks and rocks, walked through a slope, saw a stone tablet erected on the side of the road, three big characters on the book, the little beggar did not know much, only vaguely recognized that the word in the middle seemed to be a "day" word, "This is probably 'Shuntian Mountain', right?" The little beggar thought to himself.
Along the way, as much as there was gravel and grass, the little beggar turned left and right along the path, and walked for several miles, and entered a forest, surrounded by towering ancient trees, the morning sun was bright, but the forest was dark like dusk, and the more he walked, the denser the woods became, and then he had to walk sideways. The little beggar removed the grass with his left hand, and separated the small branches and leaves that were intertwined with his right hand, revealing a small gap, and then leaned over, only to see a verdant bamboo forest in front of him, and the roots went straight into the sky, and the little beggar felt a pang in his heart, remembering what Yan Laosan said about the "Ten Thousand Poisonous Forest", and hurriedly reached into his arms and took out the male yellow jīng.
As far as the eye could see, I looked closely, and sure enough, I saw that there were many snakes lying around, either green or flower, with triangular heads, all of which were poisonous snakes. These venomous snakes either squirm slightly, or swallow snake hyacinths, and their triangular eyes are phosphorescent and shining. The little beggar's heartstrings were tight, his heart was pounding, his nervous neck was stiff, and he didn't dare to take a breath, so he moved cautiously, step by step, and slowly moved forward.
After walking for a while, the little beggar clenched the palm of Xionghuang Jīng's hand, and he broke out in a cold sweat. Suddenly, the little beggar felt a chill in his left arm, his heart tightened suddenly, and when he turned his head to look, he saw a green snake, cold and slippery, wrapped around his arm, wriggling and moving.
"Ahh ——" The little beggar shouted loudly, hurriedly raised his right hand, and aimed the yellow jīng at the turquoise snake and handed it over, and the turquoise snake shook its head twice as soon as it smelled the smell of realgar, "Whoosh! The little beggar took a long breath, and he didn't come back to his senses, but he felt that his trouser leg was tight, and a blue and red colorful, very terrible snake, wrapped around his left leg again, the little beggar shook his whole body, shook his left leg, lifted his foot, and turned the male yellow jīng over, the blue and red snake wrapped around his left leg a few times, and then swam away, suddenly, a snake hung down from the top of his head, and the little beggar jumped in his heart, and quickly dodged away......
In this way, poisonous snakes from the left, from the right, from above, from below, or directly coming, or entangled, a steady stream of poisonous snakes around the attack, the little beggar or jumping, or running, or squatting, or dodging, or directly thrown away, or with the yellow jīng to block, covered in sweat, panting, trying to fight, a short walk, it is very hard.
The little beggar's heart seemed to be beating drums and beating, turning his head to look around, only to see the surrounding group of snakes dancing non-stop, the bamboo forest was cold and desolate, a yīn forest feeling, which made people creepy, the little beggar was so frightened that he trembled all over, I don't know when it was a head, for a while, I couldn't care about it so much, I threw off my legs, strode forward, ran for a moment without a head, suddenly my ankles tightened, and I grabbed a vine, the little beggar was taken aback, one stumbled, and fell to the ground.
Immediately, the little beggar turned over, and hurriedly got up, standing firmly, but these few times, like a rabbit leaping and a fox, the activity was intense and frequent, coupled with a long time of nervousness in his heart, suddenly, it affected the old trouble, his heart hurt, angina pectoris, and suddenly, his heart seemed to be filed back and forth by a sharp file, and it seemed to be bitten by thousands of insects, the little beggar broke out in a cold sweat all over his body, the pain was abnormal, his eyes were dark, his brain was booming, and he fell to the ground again, his hands were weak, he could no longer hold the male yellow jīng, and his palms were loosened. Xionghuang jīng rolled out with a grunt.
"Ahh The little beggar opened his mouth wide and wanted to cry out, but his throat was slight, but he could not make a sound. In an instant, thousands of poisonous snakes poured in from all sides, or wrapped around the arms, or around the waist, or around the head and neck, a big snake even drilled into the mouth of the little beggar, a few small snakes, or drilled nostrils, or drilled ear holes...... in an instant, the little beggar's whole body was full of poisonous snakes wriggling.
On the ground, the group of snakes wriggling, the poisonous snakes are colorful, showing a piece of colorful, not long after, the little beggar is drowned in the group of poisonous snakes, one by one the poisonous snakes are squeezing, piling up, gradually towering into a pile on the ground, and the poisonous snakes continue to gather in all directions, this situation is this scene, indescribably weird, grotesque.
"It's over...... It's over......" The little beggar finally flashed these two words in his heart, and his brain was hot and he fainted.
