XVIII. Stones of Other Mountains

The three descendants of the Li family were only busy fighting the fire just now, and they didn't see the scene of their vicious fight with the man in black, how could they believe this Zhang family? One by one, they were about to reply to Zhang Zhen's words, but before they could speak, they heard Sun Laohan reprimanding Zhang Zhen.

The three descendants of the Li family are not familiar with Sun Laohan either, and tonight I saw him mercilessly slap Li Gen two big slaps, and they all wondered about this. At this time, I heard Sun Laohan's stern tone, and I didn't know what to say, so I looked at Li Gen who was lying on the ground holding a burden and Li Slender Monkey who was lying in Zhang Lei's arms.

At this time, Li Ziming and others, who were patrolling in Beizhuang at night, also rushed to hear the news because they saw the fire. Li Ziming looked at the old and young in his family lying on the ground. I was very anxious, and I didn't know what was going on. Hurry up and go to see your son and father.

After a night of tossing, the truth was revealed.

Zhang Zhen looked at Brother Li lying on the ground and Li Slender Monkey who had just woken up, and he was very self-blaming and had a lot of thoughts. Sun Laohan, who had been suspicious for a long time, was the last person to save them. used Li Gen to pass on the news to trap the thief, but he didn't expect that Li Gen dragged the thief at the critical moment. The originally planned move was destroyed by a thief's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

Li Ke and her mother, who came out of the house when they heard the sound, held a flashlight in their hands. Looking at Li Gen and Li Slender Monkey lying on the ground, they were also anxious and about to cry.

Li Ke looked at Zhang Zhen with a complaining face. There was a deep rebuke in his eyes, which meant asking, "Didn't you plan it well, how did you get to the way you are now?" ”

Zhang Zhen didn't dare to look at Li Ke's eyes, and hurriedly ran over to see Li Gen's injury. I saw Li Gen holding the burden thrown by the man in black in his arms, and muttering: "My purple gold lamp has not been lost!" ”

Sun Laohan also checked Li Gen's injuries at this time, and said meaningfully: "The stones of other mountains can attack jade." I didn't expect it. ”

Zhang Zhen didn't understand what Sun Laohan meant when he said this, but he still wanted to save a little face in his heart. As long as the purple gold lamp in Li Gen's arms is fake, then he will not be completely defeated.

Zhang Zhen hurriedly asked Li Gen to see if the purple gold lamp was damaged. After hearing this, Li Gen sat up straight and took out the purple gold lamp in his arms to look at it. When everyone heard the purple gold lamp, they all focused on the burden in Li Gen's arms.

When Li Gen untied the burden, it was not a "fake" made by Li Ke with potatoes, it was indeed the real purple gold lamp. Zhang Zhen was stunned, and his face was hot. He didn't dare to look into Li Ke's eyes. I kept comforting myself in my mind: Fortunately, after the fight just now, the purple gold lamp was not damaged. Fortunately, Li Gen sacrificed his life to stop the thief just now, otherwise this purple gold lamp would have really been lost. Lucky! Lucky!

Li Slender Monkey was just knocked unconscious by the thief, and now it is okay to delay for a long time. Slowly stood up and said to the onlookers: "It's okay, thank you for your concern, let's go back." Let's go home and sleep on a cold day. ”

Li Gen was beaten by the man in black, but now he was like a nobody. After reading the purple gold lantern, there was nothing to do, and his face was happy. also stood up immediately, and in order to prevent accidents, he hurriedly returned to the house with the purple gold lamp.

Zhang Zhen looked at Li Gen who was far away, and then looked at Li Ke's sad expression. I'm so ashamed that I really want to find a crack in the ground to get into.

The onlookers saw that Li Slender Monkey was fine, and they all left one by one. Seeing everyone disperse, Sun Laohan grabbed the cane in Zhang Zhen's hand and whispered, "Take this thing and go home and sleep today." Come to my house tomorrow, and the three of you will come together. ”

The three people in Sun Laohan's mouth are undoubtedly Zhang Zhen, Zhang Lei and Li Gen. Sun Laohan said that he walked in the direction of his house. Zhang Zhen made a mistake in his plan tonight, if it weren't for the help of Sun Laohan and Li Gen, I am afraid that he would have messed up tonight. He didn't have the face to stay here, and it was not good to continue to ask Sun Laohan about this matter. Let's talk about it when we meet tomorrow, and then I pulled Zhang Lei to go home and sleep.

After a night of tossing, Geng Zhuang calmed down. At about three o'clock in the morning, silence returned to the village as usual.

At this time, in the deep mountains in the upper reaches of the Whimpering River, the man in black who had just been trampled by Zhang Zhen was walking towards the mountains with his chest covered. There was not much light on the waning moon, and the road in the mountains was bumpy. The man in black walked very slowly, and it could be seen from the vain pace that he had suffered a lot of injuries this time.

The man in black walked for more than two hours, and the sky was slightly bright. He came to a cave that was more of a hole than a hole.

On a loess cliff, there is a hole with a diameter of 20 centimeters three or four meters above the ground, and it seems that only one person can climb into it. From the outside, there was nothing to be seen in this little hole, it was pitch black. The man in black was seriously injured and could no longer jump. I had to climb up step by step with the small steps dug out of the cliff, and then plunge headlong into the small hole.

Although the entrance of the cave is small, there is a different world inside the cave. Although it is not the location of the Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave, there is also a mystery on the Loess Plateau. The cave is particularly spacious, and one hole is connected to another. There is a hole that goes all the way in, and it is not known where it leads.

The walls of the cave are carved with shovels and other things that are not clearly visible, and when you enter the small cave, there is a very large cave on the left. On the ground are wooden crates for wartime guns and ammunition. Behind the box, there were also two dried white bones.

The man in black crawled into the hole and sat on the box. He took out a box from his arms, took out a pill and threw it into his mouth, and swallowed the pill with his own saliva. Then he leaned against the box and fell asleep.

Geng Zhuang, who experienced a night of turmoil, as soon as the sun came out, everything went on as usual. Zhang Lei was called up early by his master to practice as usual. Zhang Zhen snorted on the hot kang with a shocking sound. Geng Zhuang didn't seem to have happened last night at all, and everyone looked calm.

Of course this is only a temporary tranquility, and such a big thing comes out. All kinds of mysteries have not been solved, how can these curious young men give up. Especially Zhang Lei, who witnessed the most exciting martial arts competition since he was born last night, has a thousand and ten thousand reasons waiting to be asked in his heart.

After Zhang Lei finished practicing, he followed his master to Zhang Datou's house by the way. Because of yesterday's lesson, he did not dare to be reckless. timidly went in, didn't go to the hall, and went straight to Zhang Zhen's house.

Compared with Zhang Zhen, who suddenly became powerful without effort, Zhang Lei suffered too much. He got angry when he saw Zhang Zhen sleeping soundly, grabbed a handful of snow at the door, lifted Zhang Zhen's quilt and stuffed it in.

Zhang Zhen slept soundly, stimulated by the coldness. Immediately jumped up from the kang. As soon as they saw that it was Zhang Lei, the two of them naturally scuffled and played. They didn't stop until they heard the sound of shouting Zhang Zhen coming from the courtyard.

"Is Zhang Zhen up?"

"Is it Li Gan? Why did he come, so early? Nothing will happen, right? Li Gen's voice was very distinctive, and Zhang Lei heard it at once. Immediately asked Zhang Zhen.

Zhang Zhen didn't know what Li Gen was doing, although they were all classmates, they played together during the holidays. But after all, the Zhang and Li families are separated by a river, and they have no reason to meet in the morning. Zhang Zhen didn't think much about it, got dressed and got off the kang neatly, and then beckoned Li Gen to come in and sit.

Li Gen's face was ruddy, and his complexion looked very good. It doesn't look like he got a big blow last night.

When Li Gen saw Zhang Zhen and Zhang Lei, he didn't talk a bunch of nonsense as usual, and said directly: "Today, I want to go and find Sun Laohan." I dare not go alone, can you go with me? ”

As soon as Li Gen spoke, Zhang Zhen suddenly remembered what Sun Laohan said when he left last night. He was just about to pick up the stubble when he heard Zhang Lei say: "What? You're going to get revenge for the slap he slapped you last night? ”

"It's not revenge, it's to apologize, it's to thank." Li Gen whispered.

Zhang Zhen and Zhang Lei didn't understand what Li Gen said when they heard Li Gen say this, so they looked at each other and waited for Li Gen to continue talking.

Li Gen looked at the puzzled looks of the two of them, and said, "I can see that Sun Laohan is a powerful person. If it wasn't for him last night, I wouldn't have gotten out of bed today. ”

What Li Gen said was messy, and Zhang Zhen and Zhang Lei couldn't understand a word. Zhang Lei, who was anxious, immediately asked: "You said that you were looking for Sun Laohan to take revenge, I believe it." One is that he smacked his mouth last night. The second is that he saved me last night but not you. I don't blame you for hating him, how can I thank him. ”

Li Gen heard Zhang Lei say this, but he didn't speak. He immediately took off his clothes and showed them his back. Li Gen pointed to a bruise on his back and said, "Look, this is the stick I received last night." I was going to be very uncomfortable. I felt something hit me in my heart. Because I thought about the purple gold lamp, I endured it and didn't cry out in pain. Later, when the man in black left, Sun Laohan came over and pressed me a few times, and I suddenly felt no more uncomfortable. Now except for a little bruise on his body, there is no reaction at all. ”

As soon as Li Gen said this, Zhang Zhen and Zhang Lei also understood. Sun Laohan has the ability, and they know it, but they just heard what Li Gen said. They admired Sun Laohan even more, and at the same time, they were more curious.

Zhang Zhen didn't talk nonsense, since Sun Laohan said last night that they would go to him today, he didn't think about it anymore. In this way, all doubts can be answered by Sun Laohan.

Zhang Zhen didn't wash his face and clean up, and took the stick he picked up from the man in black last night. The three of them hurried to Sun Laohan's house. Sun Laohan's home in winter lives in the mountains north of the river, and the three of them are sweating a little when they trot all the way. Zhang Zhen, who has special abilities, because Li Gen is there, he doesn't want Li Gen to see the abnormality, so he keeps pressing the speed. Even so, he accidentally ran to the front.

Sun Laohan was wearing a practice uniform and was practicing with his crutches in the courtyard. As soon as he came in, he survived and welcomed them into the house.

Old Man Sun seemed to be waiting for them early in the morning, and there were three stools next to the stove in the room, and three cups were placed. Steamed buns are baked on the stove.

Sun Laohan returned to his usual appearance, and he didn't see the murderous expression of last night. Pointing in the direction of the stove, he said, "You three sit down and have some tea and something to eat." ”

Zhang Zhen and the others looked at the steamed buns on the stove and the stool next to them, and they didn't know what Sun Laohan was going to do. They all stood dumbfounded, and did not speak.

Sun Laohan saw that they didn't move, and his face changed slightly. Then he pretended to be angry and said, "What, do you want me to sit you down?" ”

After last night's incident, the three of them were both respectful and afraid of Sun Laohan in their hearts. Now that Sun Laohan says this, they don't care a lot. Immediately they all sat down and began to drink tea and eat.

Sun Laohan saw them sit down and eat, and then said slowly: "You eat slowly, I will speak slowly." I know you have a thousand whys in your heart, but now that you're a young man, I'll tell you what I know. However, these things are not allowed to be known to others. You see, even my family told them to go to the house down the hill. ”
