Chapter 114: The Knife Under the Moon
When Jiang Liu'er said this, the old man raised his head and found two people who had been watching from a short distance.
After all, before this, all his focus was on this useless son.
He looked at his son, then at Xue Ling and Sheng Junqian, and in an instant, he understood the joint, and kowtowed to Xue Ling and Sheng Junqian: "Thank you two benefactors for saving your life." ”
"Thank you two benefactors for saving your life."
He knelt on the ground and struck the head, and when he struck the second time, he could not keep knocking anyway.
Not only could he not knock down, but the whole person was also helped up by a force, and when he raised his head, he saw the man in black standing in front of him: "Senior Sheng Junqian, I really can't afford to be such a big gift from the old man." ”
……
……
The group of four was finally invited into the house, and in this simple thatched hut, the two sides also told each other in detail.
It turned out that this old man's name was Jiang Shinan, and he was in his early fifties this year, which means that he had Jiang Liu'er in his thirties.
Some time ago, this old man Jiang finally made up his mind to send his son to study in Song County, so he made up his mind to go to the deep mountains that he rarely goes to, and pick a few precious medicinal herbs that he had marked before, so that he could sell them for more silver, but he never expected that on the way, he was bitten by a five-step snake, but fortunately, he had snake medicine by his side, and he applied it externally and internally in time, so he could barely save his life.
But the poison of the five-step snake was too strong, and his snake medicine was not a special medicine for the five-step snake, so after returning home halfway, the snake venom was still not cleared, but it was declining day by day, almost to the point that he couldn't get out of bed.
In this case, it is a fantasy to send Jiang Liu'er to study again, Jiang Heather can only think about saving her life first, so she asked his wife to collect the remaining medicinal materials in her home, and then asked Jiang Liu'er to send these medicinal materials to the city to sell, so that she can come back to save her life in exchange for rice noodles and snake venom.
But I never thought that Jiang Liu'er would never return like this, which would make it difficult for Jiang Shi and his wife to stay at home.
Jiang Shi herself couldn't get out of bed at all, so she could only let Jiang's mother go out every day to find something to eat, so as not to starve to death in the mountains.
But Rao is like this, in the past six months, it has also been very difficult, especially Jiang Shinan's legs, which have been half better, but if they drag it down like this, the situation has become worse and worse.
However, hunger, cold and illness are not the most painful, the most painful thing for the two of them is that their son is gone, and after worrying, Jiang Heather and Jiang's mother finally broke out several fierce quarrels, but after the quarrel, Jiang's mother couldn't watch Jiang Heather starve to death at home like this, and she could only go out to find food to barely make a living.
This is also the reason why several hens that laid eggs in the house are missing.
And Jiang Liu also carefully told Jiang Shi Nan about the causes and consequences of his side, especially focusing on how Xue Ling and Sheng Junqian helped him find the one-eyed king Xue Chong to settle the account, and how he saw that he was looking for the wrong person, and then went to find the one-eyed ghost Yao Zheng, and this matter was over.
Finally, it was emphasized that Xue Ling and Sheng Junqian came to this Baiyun Mountain for the sake of immortality.
Jiang Heather heard the cause and effect, and couldn't help but want to turn over from the bed and worship Xue Ling and Sheng Junqian again, but was stopped by Sheng Junqian.
"It's a gesture." Sheng Junqian shook his head and said, "Besides, it is also our honor to be able to help the old man and Brother Jiang." ”
I have to say that Sheng Junqian is still really good at talking sometimes, and he is worthy of being the son of the Sheng family in Jiangxi.
At this time, there were some hurried footsteps outside the door, Xue Ling stood up and looked out of the door, while Sheng Junqian also pushed the door open, only to see a gray-haired old woman running towards this side in a hurry, followed by a gray wolf like a calf.
Jiang Liu's eyes turned a little red when he saw it, and he seemed to rush out while shouting at his mother, but Xue Ling held down his shoulder, while Sheng Junqian stepped out, pressed the knife with one hand, and quietly pulled out.
I saw that the old woman was in a panic, holding a sickle in her hand, and just after crossing the single-plank bridge, the whole person stumbled under her feet, fell forward, and was about to be pounced on by the gray wolf behind her, which also came along the single-plank bridge.
Sheng Junqian quietly swung his knife and slashed out.
I saw a bright moon-like wave of light slashing across the night sky in an instant, and the gray wolf instantly seemed to be cut by an invisible blade, and was cut in two in the air.
The flower of blood bloomed in the air, and then the gray wolf broke into two pieces and fell to the ground, completely unable to move.
The old woman had already closed her eyes and waited for death, but she was not bitten by the wolf's kiss for a long time, but she heard the gentle voice of a man beside her: "This lady, are you okay?" ”
The old woman opened her eyes and saw Sheng Junqian in front of her, reaching out to help herself, smiling and calm.
And the old woman was shocked: "Dare to ask who you are?" ”
"Are you Mr. Jiang Shinan's wife? Jiang Liu's mother? Sheng Junqian looked at her and asked.
The old woman looked at Sheng Junqian carefully again, and made sure that she had never known this god-like son, but she still nodded: "I am Peng Xuelian." ”
Before the words fell, I saw that Jiang Liu'er had rushed over, hugged Peng Xuelian by the waist, and cried bitterly while calling her mother.
……
……
Peng Xuelian went out this time, even in summer, but because she had searched the surroundings many times, she really couldn't find any food after she was almost clean, so she could only take the risk of walking deep into the mountains for a while, picking some mushrooms and wild fruits and other food, and caught a pheasant and a hare in the previous cover.
I originally thought that this time it would be a bumper harvest, but on the way back, I met the gray wolf.
If it is usual, Peng Xuelian will never be able to outrun this gray wolf, but she just has a pheasant and a hare in her hand at this time, Peng Xuelian is also a mountain person, and she knows that as long as these beasts have food, they will not hurt people, so after being chased for two steps, seeing that she can't escape, she quickly threw the hare out and let the gray wolf feast.
She originally thought that honoring a hare would be able to satisfy the gray wolf, but the gray wolf was so hungry that she devoured a rabbit, and then quickly followed the smell, and Peng Xuelian had no choice but to throw the pheasant on her body again.
came and went, and finally Peng Xuelian threw away all the mushrooms and wild fruits she picked along the way, and then reluctantly ran home, thinking that it was okay, but it turned out that the wild wolf still followed.
And the next thing is Sheng Junqian, and they all know it.
"Oh, it's a pity for my rabbits and pheasants." Looking back, Peng Xuelian was still a little reluctant: "Otherwise, there will be something to entertain the two benefactors." ”
"It's okay." Sheng Junqian shook his head and said.
"I haven't eaten wolf meat yet."
