Chapter 8: Escape and Desolation
The man kicked Zhang Xuanmeng over and said, "What are you trembling, neither of you wants to live." He bent down and lifted Zhang Xuanmeng's arm and was about to throw it down. Zhang Xuanmeng saw that the situation was urgent, and he bit it when he opened his mouth. The man was in pain, and as soon as he let go, Zhang Xuanmeng fell on the board of the boat, turned over and pressed against Zhu Kexin to protect him, and pleaded bitterly.
The man stepped forward and kicked twice, shaking the boat with him. Zhang Xuanmeng ignored the pain and protected Zhu Kexin tightly. The man was furious and said, "I don't believe I can't fix you, kid." Bending down and dragging Zhang Xuanmeng's feet, he was about to pull, and at a glance, a big ship upstream was galloping downward, with full sails and galloping horses. He let go of his hand and shook the oar desperately towards the other side.
Zhang Xuanmeng was in despair, and suddenly saw him desperately rocking the boat, he was very surprised, and when he looked up, he saw a big boat coming down. Zhang Xuanmeng was shocked, the time in this world is not right, this big ship came a little late, so he stood up and waved his hand again and again, shouting for help.
The man shook the oars and shouted, "What the hell is your name, how can they hear you when you are so far away? Zhang Xuanmeng just waved his hand and shouted.
In the blink of an eye, the ship was only about two hundred feet away from them, and they saw a man standing in the bow of the boat, looking this way, and the speed of the ship was also reduced. A big flag on the bow of the boat, hula-la-la, embroidered with a hovering black python. Seeing that the situation was not good, the man became faster and faster, and in a moment, he was not far from the shore.
Another man appeared on the big boat, whispered a few words in the ear of the man who was standing, and the big boat sped downstream.
Only this time the boat was on hold, and the boat was close to the shore. Zhang Xuanmeng saw that the river was not deep, stood up, picked up the secret notes and silk silks, pulled up Zhu Kexin, and jumped off without waiting for the boat to stop. The water is only up to the neck.
The two had never been in the water, and in a desperate situation, they desperately groped their way to the shore, and after a short time, they actually went ashore. The man stopped the boat and was about to chase after him again, but when he saw that it was already dawn, and someone was approaching in the distance, he hurriedly picked up the things on the boat and ran in the opposite direction.
Zhang Xuanmeng and Zhu Kexin ran desperately for a while, and they were more than a mile away from the riverbank, so they stopped, opened their mouths and panted, and looked back at the riverside, the man had long since disappeared. Thinking about the scene in the river, the two looked at each other and were speechless. After a while, Zhu Kexin threw herself into Xuanmeng's arms and cried out with a "woo". At this time, it was almost the end of summer, and it was cool in the morning, and the two of them were wet all over, and they were even more chilled when they were blown by the wind. Zhang Xuanmeng no longer has a coat on his body, shirtless, and wears shorts.
He hugged Kexin and let her cry, but his heart was sad, the two of them didn't have any money on them, how to go on the road ahead? Zhu Kexin cried for a while, slowly stopped crying, but said: "Xuanmeng, don't be afraid, Jiren has its own heavenly appearance, and we have escaped death several times, which shows that God is secretly blessing us." These two volumes of secrets are still there, let's find a place, practice well, and in the future, we must kill all the Shura people and the wicked people in the world, and avenge our parents and relatives. ”
Zhang Xuanmeng was comforting her, but when she suddenly heard her say something like an adult, she couldn't help but be stunned, and after thinking about it, it was right, these were all harmed by Shura, and she must take revenge. So he handed over the thin booklet and silk silk to Zhu Kexin and let her hold it in her arms, so as not to attract attention.
The two of them walked slowly. Xuanmeng was barebacked, afraid of people's jokes, and tried to avoid passers-by. In the morning, the sun was shining well, and the clothes on their bodies slowly dried.
The two of them were penniless, and from that day on, they had one to eat, and one did not eat, and they walked aimlessly. When he encountered a village, Zhang Xuanmeng went to a farmer's house to beg. Kind-hearted farmers, give some leftovers, even if they have some to eat, when they encounter unkind, they will be scolded again.
Every time he begged for food, he tried to save Kexin as much as possible, and when Kexin was full, he ate the rest. Zhu Kexin often cried while eating. Once, Zhang Xuanmeng went to a large family to beg, but he didn't get the food, but was bitten by the evil housekeeper called a dog. The wicked butler laughed, and the two of them fled in a hurry. Zhang Xuanmeng's leg was bitten and bloody, and it took more than ten days to get better, and he finally left a scar on his leg. Zhu Kexin often touches the scar and cries. At night, the two only lay next to each other on the side of the road and by the rocks.
As the days passed, the weather slowly cooled down, and the two often woke up at night, hugging each other and hugging each other.
After more than a month like this, the weather became even colder, and the two became more and more sad. On this day, they walked into a mountain forest and suddenly heard a shout of "help, help".
Zhang Xuanmeng was stunned, and it was different from the previous life, the previous life also came to this forest, but he didn't hear the sound of help, and he didn't meet anyone.
The two of them quietly went over, hid behind the big tree and took a look, only to see a wicked man beating a cropper with a short stick, smashing it headlessly. The croppers were rolling all over the ground, and he couldn't stop complaining: "Second Master Liu, it's good, spare me this time, and by the end of the year, I will definitely return the principal to you with interest." ”
The wicked man said: "You have been delaying for five years, and the silver of two taels has been turned into fifty taels, and every time you say next time, it seems that you will not be able to repay this silver." I will kill you, and I will take your life, and I will pay off my debts. "While talking, he fights, the more he fights, the more fierce he becomes, and he sees that he is going to die.
At this time, a loud shout was suddenly heard, "Stop, Wuna man, do you want to kill someone?" I don't know when, there were three more Taoist priests on horseback at the edge of the forest, wearing blue and colored Taoist robes and swords on their backs.
The wicked man looked up and saw that it were three Taoist priests, and shouted: "He owes me money, and he can't afford to pay it back, so I want his life, what kind of do you have?"
The youngest Taoist priest, about thirty years old, said angrily: "If you can't afford to pay back the money, do you want his life? Do you still have a royal law?" The evil man said: "Stinky Taoist priest, don't be nosy, what kind of royal law, I only know that he owes me money." As he spoke, the club came down again.
The young Taoist priest couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Wu Na man, are you unreasonable?" I didn't see how he behaved, but he had already reached in front of the evil man, and stretched out his hand to grab the head of the evil man's stick. The evil man was fighting, and suddenly he was dragged with a stick, raised a kick and kicked the Taoist priest down.
When the Taoist priest saw that the wicked man was vicious, he bent his knees, put his feet against his feet, and stretched out his right hand to press his chest. I only heard the old Taoist priest say, "Tonghui, don't hurt his life." The Taoist priest replied, "Yes, uncle." I saw that the evil man's body flew backwards suddenly, and he fell heavily on the ground five feet away with a bang, and he couldn't get up for a long time.
The Taoist priest named Tonghui said: "I spared you this time, and the next time I meet you, I will definitely kill you." Only then did the wicked man know that these Taoist priests were not easy to mess with, so he turned over and climbed down the mountain.
