Chapter 81
When the sun fell halfway up the mountain, half of the world was lit up by red light. The mountain is getting dark, and the mountainside is still a long way from the foot of the mountain, and the bottom of the mountain is still a long way from the village. If you don't get down the mountain before the sun drops halfway up the mountain, you won't be able to make it time for dinner.
Cheng Dan finally straightened up from the bushes, looked up at the sky, and silently thought that it was time to go down the mountain and go home.
Homemade straw sandals tread on the thorny mountain road, and occasionally the grass gently brushes the skin. No matter how much people pay attention, it is still inevitable that one or two blood marks will be rubbed by the grass. At that time, I didn't feel any pain, but when I looked back and found it, I felt a trace of pain.
The boy had been alone in the mountains for many years, and the back of his hands, arms, ankles, heels, and even his clean and handsome face had been scratched by the sharp grass in the mountains.
No one taught him the truth, and the truth of the teenager was figured out little by little by crawling and rolling in life.
I don't know the pain, I don't know the pain.
Sometimes, ignorance is also a blessing.
The firewood knife opened the way, the young man greeted the sunset with his head, stepped on the grass, carried a bamboo basket on his back, hung a talisman on his waist, and strode in the mountains and forests of Buddha Mountain. From a distance, it looks like a long dark green snake swimming quickly through the dense forest, heading straight for the foot of the mountain.
In the blink of an eye, we reached the foot of the mountain and went out of the mountain forest.
Today's Taiping County seems a little strange.
If you want to say what is strange, Cheng Dan can't say.
Feelings that don't have a reason are called intuition.
Cheng Dan's intuition told him that Taiping County would not be peaceful tonight.
said that it is Taiping County, but it is just a small county town in a big place. However, although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. The entrance of the city gate of the small county town is made of stone bricks, and a stone house is used as a faΓ§ade, and the stone house is only held on the periphery of the small county town with sharp wooden sticks used by ordinary people to tie fences into a fence and slightly encircle it to make a look.
Outside the fence is a different place, and inside the fence is peace.
When Cheng Dan came down from Buddha Mountain to the city gate, the janitor who was lying on the cool bed chewing bamboo sticks with a round belly outside the stone room and loose his pants and belts loosened his belt, squinted his eyes, and chewed bamboo sticks on the cool bed, let out a heavy voice from his nose: "Hmphββ! β
Cheng Dan walked to the janitor's cool bed and stood still.
The janitor lifted his eyelids to look at him.
The boy put down the bamboo basket behind him, placed it on the ground, grabbed a yellow-colored plant from it, placed it on the janitor's bare belly, and stretched out a hand.
The moment the janitor took out the vegetation, his eyes were already full of surprise and salivation. When he saw the young man's outstretched hand again, the surprise in the janitor's eyes suddenly turned into annihilation.
"Huh! With such a small piece of broken intestine grass, I want to collect five copper plates from Lao Tzu. Cheng Erran, your business is really kind! β
Cheng Dan has always felt that the janitor who saved his life actually didn't like him all along. But it doesn't matter, there are many people in this world who are not liked, and many people in this world are not obligated to like you. Others like him, he is Cheng Dan. Others don't like it, but he is still Cheng Dan. The fact that he is Cheng Dan will not change because others like it or not, which is enough.
But later, until he had corrected the janitor's own name as Cheng Dan instead of Cheng Erran several times to no avail, Cheng Dan felt that the janitor seemed to dislike his name more than he didn't like himself.
But it doesn't matter, it's enough that he likes his name very much.
His "Cheng" was given by his father, and his "Dan" was obtained by his mother.
His name is Cheng Dan, and he is Cheng Dan who is loved by his father.
That's enough.
Contented and happy, Cheng Dan cherishes his blessings.
"Five copper plates, not expensive." Cheng Dan said honestly.
"Five copper plates are not expensive, sell those five copper plates to me, Cheng Erran, don't you think they are too cheap?"
Broken intestine grass is not a rare herb medicine, but it is not an ordinary poison. It is born on cliffs and grows on cliffs. A thought is a killing opportunity, and a take-and-take is reincarnation.
When Cheng Dan was five years old, he went up the mountain to collect medicine, ate this grass by mistake, almost lost his life, fainted at the door of the housekeeper with foaming at the mouth, spit out the man's straw sandal mat, he was so angry that he scolded, carried the young man and threw him into the stone room, and the scolding sound resounded in the stone room for an afternoon, and almost even the lonely stone house tiles were scolded to him alive.
"Five copper plates, no loss." Cheng Dan said honestly again.
There is a definite conclusion on right and wrong, and there is a judgment on the gain or loss of interests.
A scale for people's hearts.
Avoid honey, my arsenic.
He looks at the gold, and I look at the dung.
Five copper plates, buy my Cheng Dan's life, it's not expensive.
My Cheng Dan's life is very expensive, more expensive than broken intestine grass.
The janitor smiled angrily at him: "Co-authoring, you are not expensive or loss, or did Lao Tzu earn it?" β
Cheng Dan touched his nose: "Can you tell the truth?" β
The janitor laughed and scolded: "Nonsense! β
"Earned." Cheng Dan bent down, picked up the bamboo basket, put it back on his back, straightened up, and stretched out his hand towards the gatekeeper again, "Give money." β
The janitor glared, sat up from the cool bed with a curse, and shook the yellow and lifeless weeds that were like a dying old man rolling down to his crotch, and then grabbed it with his rough big hand, stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it dryly.
The most poisonous weed in the world was casually thrown into his mouth, chewed and swallowed, and it was like eating whole grains, without the slightest discomfort.
The gatekeeper even glanced at Cheng Dan with disgust, pouted twice, spit on his hand, and then put his big hand into the wide neckline, and only after touching it for a long time did he find a black copper plate and flick it into the bamboo basket behind the young man.
"Today's broken intestine grass is too small, it's not enough to stuff Lao Tzu's teeth! There are no five copper plates, and there can be no more than one steel hammer, do you want to love it! The silver goods are in both directions, get out of here! β
Cheng Dan silently stared at the gatekeeper's face for a long time, and quietly touched his wrist. In order to pick this broken intestine grass that grew on the cliff, he tied himself to the hundred-year-old tree on the cliff with a rope, slid down the cliff little by little, stepped on a few stepping stones, stepped on a lot of gravel, and accidentally injured his wrist by the protruding sharp stone.
Although five copper plates are not lost, one copper plate is ...... It's really a bit of a loss!
The janitor gave him such a straight look, and he didn't like it, so he waved his hand and hurried Cheng Dan away.
"Roll on, don't look at Lao Tzu with such affectionate eyes! What Lao Tzu likes is a flower girl with big breasts and big butts, and I don't have any interest in a little kid like you who doesn't have any hair! Get out of here! β
Cheng Dan staggered and was pushed by the janitor into the small county town.
