Chapter Twenty-Three: Gains and Losses
Jin Gengsheng was lost in the natural gate, and no one knows how he lost it, whether he is dead or alive now, or where he went. In this way, I have no clue if I want to find it, so I just give up.
With the rescue of the soldiers and the disappearance of Jin Gengsheng, the natural gate that had been in a tumultuous place for a while finally regained calm, and Sun Weifu returned to Tiankeng with Gao Xuan, Yuexiu, and Hengken. Zeng Haoying has not been back to her parents for a long time, and it is not easy to return to the natural gate once, so Sun Weifu allowed her to stay for a few more days.
After returning to the sinkhole, Sun Weifu immediately resumed compulsory training for Gao Xuan. Cold comes and goes, winter goes to spring, and through a period of exercise, Gao Xuan has accepted all the items one by one. On this day, Sun Weifu called Gao Xuan to him, took out a few pills and handed them to Gao Xuan, and asked him to take them. As soon as he finished taking it, Gao Xuan staggered, lost his eyes, slowly leaned back in the chair, and fell asleep. Sun Weifu hurriedly instructed Hengken to help Gao Xuan go back to the room to rest, and asked him to carefully observe and take care of Gao Xuan, so he went to prepare his bags, took Yuexiu, and went to the door to do errands.
Nearly three poles in the day, the master and apprentice came to a sparsely populated mountain col, and a small stream stretched south along the side of the mountain. On the bank of the stream there was a dense tuft of thatch, and the grass was more than a man tall. In this calm day, the thatch kept shaking sharply. Seeing this scene, the master and apprentice suspected that it was a giant beast moving in the grass, so they became vigilant. Hurriedly hid behind a cliff, lay down, breathless, and watched carefully. With a roar that pierced the sky, a giant python more than 20 meters long jumped out of the grass with a "whoosh". The python seemed to be exhausted, trembling and trembling, and there was a long bamboo pole stuck in one of its eyes, and blood was flowing from the side of the eye. The roaring python jumped high and fled quickly down the stream. Behind the python, a ragged old man screamed and turned over, ready to hunt down the big worm. As soon as the caller landed, he hurriedly stopped his feet, turned to Sun Weifu and looked at them, as if he felt something, stood by the grass, looked up and laughed: "The realistic version of the human snake war is staged here, have you seen enough, have you enjoyed it?" At this time, the curtain has come to an end, it's time to come, two! ”
Sun Weifu and his apprentice glanced at each other and walked away with a smile. Sun Weifu shouted: "Guo Huazi has been good lately, which gust of wind blew you to this barren mountain and wilderness?" ”
The old man replied: "Blind, I know it's you, schadenfreude!" Seeing that Huazi was almost swallowed by a snake, you hid behind the cliff and refused to come out to help. Could it be that the big snake was raised by your family, and it was specially instigated to take the life of the old man, right? ”
"The stinky food hasn't changed at all, and when we meet, it's still so poisonous, and I always like to frame other people's faults and never change it. I waited here and didn't get a firm foothold, and the big drama you staged came to an end, but in the end I didn't help you, I really don't know what kind of heart you have? Sun Weifu choked.
"I haven't seen him for more than 20 years, and the blind man is still able to speak like that, so I am willing to bow down and understand again!" The old man ran to Sun Weifu, and a bear hugged him and said, "I thought you were dead a long time ago, but I didn't want you to live until now." Why do you want to live so long, do you want to compare with me and see who can live longer? ”
"Damn the old man, even if you die several times, it won't be my turn to die. I haven't seen you for more than 20 years, and I really thought that when I saw you again, you would be a pile of bones, but I don't know when you will return your soul! ”
As soon as the two old men met, they were "viciously" damaging each other, and Yuexiu on the side felt the depth of friendship between the two elders from these "vicious" spells, which was really extremely emotional. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the man ask, "Blind, who are you with this baby?" ”
"It's in vain." Sun Weifu said, called Yuexiu again, and ordered: "This old immortal is your uncle Guo called Huazi, come, pay homage to Lao Hua." ”
Yuexiu stepped forward to salute: "The younger generation greets Uncle Guo, I wish Uncle Health and longevity!" ”
The old man laughed and said: "What a smart and clever little offspring, but it's a pity that he was mistakenly thrown under the blind man's door and mistaken people's children." He patted Yuexiu on the shoulder again and said, "If the blind man bullies you in the future, you can tell your uncle, and your uncle is the master for you." If you think that the blind man is a bad teacher and delays your time, you can come to your uncle at any time, and he will promise to make you a talent. ”
Yuexiu smiled curtly: "Yuexiu thanked his uncle, Yuexiu has been doing well with his master!" Hearing this, Sun Weifu and Lao Zhaohua laughed together.
Oh, Sun Weifu smiled and asked: "Guo Laozi, I haven't met for more than 20 years, today you came to this barren mountain and wilderness, are you just here to play right and wrong and snatch love?" ”
"Fei Ye, Fei Ye" Lao Zhaohua said: "Blind man, don't you say that I almost forgot, Lao Zhaohuazi was fortunate to get a suitcase, at first I saw that it was a hungry and cold thing, and I wanted to refuse it." But the master said that it was a treasure, and he said that it was worth a lot of money, and he insisted that the old man accept it, but he couldn't do it, so he had to accept it. Later, when I thought about it, I must have been deceived, how could anyone give it away easily knowing that it was a treasure? But now that the harvest has been received, let's observe and observe. So I looked at it for days, but I couldn't see it. I think it's because I'm called Huazi and I'm shallow in learning, so I can't open my mind. As soon as I thought about it, I thought about asking for help from the talented people and friends around me. And you are like a learned person among my friends, and I am fortunate enough to meet it today, so why don't you come and help me to see if it is really a treasure. If it's really a baby, take it as a baby, get some money, and we'll share it equally, don't you think it's okay? After speaking, he brought a suitcase from the side as if he were juggling.
Sun Weifu was overjoyed when he heard this, and secretly thought: "Lao Zhaohua mentioned that he got a suitcase at this time, could it be that Zeng Shunquan was stolen by Jin Gengsheng and fell into the hands of this Huazi." If it was really the stolen thing, it would be called stepping on the iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it would take no effort to get it! So he hurriedly took the suitcase, opened it, and was stunned: it contained a stack of scientific research materials and a pair of shoes, what is this not what Jin Gengsheng stolen!?
Just as Sun Weifu was looking out, Lao Zhaohua spoke again: "Look at your greedy face, your eyes are green and shining, I am sure that the thing I have seized must be really a treasure." Let's talk about it, how much money is estimated to be redeemed? ”
"Aged son, this is not an ownerless thing, you can do it if you want to! I still have to ask you, how did these treasures of Zeng Manzi get into your hands? Could it be that you burglarized the natural door at night? As he spoke, he took out his phone, made a call, and said, "Now that everyone is dirty, don't deny it." After I informed Zeng Manzi, I will send you to the official together. ”
"Don't, don't! Blind, you don't want a dog to bite Lu Dongbin, you don't know the hearts of good people. I kindly tell you about the treasure I picked up, and you have stolen the natural door against me. You don't want to think about it, even if I want to steal, I can't go to the natural door! There are poor mountains and remote places, where is there any treasure that my old man can look at? ”
"I still want to quibble, the preface is not right: at first it was said that it was stolen, and then it was confiscated, and I think you are clearly stolen! You don't cry when you don't see the coffin, it seems that I have to report the crime. Sun Weifu feigned anger.
"Okay, you're blind, you're still so sharp-toothed. I can't say you, admit it, can't you admit it? That's good, you win, let's divide it into four or six, you six, I four, what? ”
"Don't be delusional! Now there are only two ways in front of you: either I will confiscate this box and the contents of it, or I will report the case and the authorities will deal with the matter. ”
"Blind, you're too greedy, the treasure that you have worked so hard to get from Huazi, you just want to swallow it alone, and you even say it so high-sounding." As he spoke, he pointed to the suitcase, as if he said fiercely: "Aren't you afraid that I will destroy it, and in the end no one will get it?" ”
Sun Weifu hurriedly stopped, stomped his foot and said: "It's so ruthless, it seems that if you don't let me suffer a loss, you will definitely be on the end." For the sake of the fact that you have also worked hard over the window and over the wall, I will sell you your personal favor, give you a pot of wine, and have a full meal. ”
"Haha, deal, deal! Wine to drink, meat to eat, better than anything else! Called Huazi and said that he would also hand the suitcase to Sun Weifu.
It's too late, it's fast, suddenly, the sky is full of dark clouds, sand and rocks are flying on the ground, accompanied by a thick fishy smell, a giant python wind and clouds swept in, raised the snake's tail and swept, and swept on the suitcase, the suitcase responded to the sound from the old screamer's hand, and flew far away.
"Okay, you evil animal, you always call me a stalk everywhere, I don't clean you up today, let the son walk in the rivers and lakes in vain!" At this time, the caller had already seen clearly that it was the giant python that had escaped after a fierce battle with himself just now, so he picked up a stick and fought with the giant python.
Here, Sun Weifu's master and apprentice also reacted quickly, and when they saw that the box had just taken off from Lao Zhaohua's hands, they rushed in both directions in the direction where the box flew away. At this moment, I suddenly heard a shout: "Brother Roe deer, catch the box and run!" This turned out to be Jin Gengsheng's voice!
As soon as the words fell, I saw that the box happened to fall in front of a roe deer standing in the distance, and the roe deer did not hesitate to pick up the box and flee quickly. First, Sun Weifu's master and apprentice are far away from the roe deer, and secondly, the roe deer's foot strength is very fast, coupled with the complex terrain, in the blink of an eye, the roe deer with a leather box in his mouth escaped without a trace!
Seeing that it was hopeless to chase the roe deer, Sun Weifu and his apprentice returned and was about to support Lao Zhaohua, when Hengken happened to come out of breath and shouted: "Oh no, Master, Gao Xuan is about to die!" Sun Weifu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly left Yuexiu to reinforce Lao Zhaohua, and hurried to the sinkhole with Hengken.
