Chapter 363: Tribulation

This hairy child, although he can't speak, can obviously understand our words, Chen Hui saw that the hairy boy was crying, and hurried over to coax him.

I looked at Chen Hui, and the doting on the hairy boy's face, there seemed to be a bit of inexplicable emotion in the doting. Ever since Chen Hui met the hairy boy, I have been wondering in my heart, why would Chen Hui be so concerned about a wild man I didn't know?

To be honest, this hairy boy is much older than me and Qiangshun, and may even be older than a stupid cow, Chen Hui is actually coaxing him like a child at this time, how awkward it looks.

Don't say that I Liu Huanghe has no sympathy, I have, I also know that the hairy boy is very pitiful and needs to be taken care of by others, but, he has found the wrong object, what are we doing, wandering and asking for food, many times my own food and clothing can not be solved, how can I take care of him anymore, if he walks with us and sleeps in the open all day, not only will he be taken care of, but he may also drag a few of us down. For example, at this time, we are walking in barren mountains and mountains, and there are no people, and if we go to a crowded place in the future, take such a hairy big guy and walk into the crowd, you should be able to imagine what the result will be...... Don't say that we buy things with people to eat, I'm afraid that we will avoid when we are far away, and then meet those good people, if you don't get it right, you will call the police, and arrest the hairy child together with a few of us, when the time comes, the hairy child will get them into graduate school, zoo or something, a few of us were checked and searched, and the bronze medal and the broken bronze medal object were exposed again, and the bronze medal was broken, if I didn't explain clearly, it was enough for me to go in and squat for a few years.

Isn't it written in the Analects: If people have no long-term concerns, they must have near-term worries. I walked up to Chen Hui and the hairy boy and said to Chen Hui: "Dao Chief, we can't stay with this hairy boy, hurry up and call him back!" ”

Chen Hui glanced at me, and when the hairy boy heard it, he cried even more, Chen Hui hurriedly patted his back and coaxed softly: "Don't cry, don't cry, let's not go back, don't go back......"

I gritted my teeth and asked, "Dao Chief, do you really want to keep this hairy child?" ”

Chen Hui glanced at me, looking in a dilemma, I broke the kettle and said: "If you really want to keep him, then let's do this......" I hesitated for a moment, and finally made up my mind and continued: "If you really want to keep the hairy child, then let's separate now, you take the stupid cow brother and the hairy child, I will take Qiangshun to break the bronze medal, and in the future, you will go yours, and I will go mine." ”

"What?" Chen Hui looked at me in astonishment, and said hurriedly: "Huanghe, you, you...... You really can't tolerate this child, can't I take him as an apprentice? ”

I know that when I say such a thing, it must make Chen Hui very sad, I bit my lip and said: "It has nothing to do with whether you accept him as an apprentice or not, if he follows us, it will bring us a lot of trouble, how good the conditions in the Black Niang View are, there is food and shelter, and someone to take care of him, why do you have to follow us to suffer and suffer." ”

Chen Hui's face calmed down when he heard me say this, "You let me think about it......" Gently stroking the hair on the hairy child's head, Chen Hui fell silent.

The hairy boy cried for a while, as if he was tired of crying, and fell asleep in Chen Hui's bed, the stupid cow and Qiang Shun, as if the two of them were fine, it didn't matter to them, and the hairy boy didn't stay, both of them seemed to be okay, especially the stupid cow, I saw that he seemed to be still facing Chen Hui, and the two of them fell asleep in the bunk without heart or lungs.

After a long time, Chen Hui came back to his senses, looked at the sleeping hairy child in the bed, revealing his eyes full of grief and pity, I saw Chen Hui like this, and my heart was full of doubts, Chen Hui's attitude towards the hairy child is obviously not like treating an ordinary person who has never known his life, it is very similar to treating an old acquaintance, and he seems to have done something, sorry for the mistakes of the old acquaintance, looking at the hairy child, he seems to remember, always a look of self-blame and guilt.

I looked at Chen Hui, then at the hairy boy, and lit a cigarette for myself, in fact, I was also sleepy at this time, but if I didn't get the hairy boy done thoroughly today, I wouldn't sleep!

Chen Hui looked at me, sighed, and said: "Yellow River, there are some things, I didn't want to mention them again, but ......" Chen Hui looked down at the hairy boy again, showing a sad face, "Or, I'll tell you a story, after listening to the story, it's up to you to decide whether to keep the hairy boy or not." ”

I didn't say anything, Chen Hui sighed again, and told the story at length......

It was the winter of 1968, a group of mad dog-like Red Guards, rushed into a Taoist temple on the mountain, the Red Guards first smashed the statue of the god to copy the temple, and then criticized the Taoist priests, and finally let the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple return to the vulgar, the viewer in the temple swore to die and not return the vulgar, was criticized and scolded by the Red Guards for several days, on this day, the viewer was humiliated, hanged himself in the middle of the night.

In the second half of the night, the ghost of the Lord gave his closed disciple a dream, saying that it was up to him, the big disciple, to decide with those juniors.

This closed disciple, when he was in his early Chinese New Year's Eve, saw that the master hanged himself, and also wanted to go with the master, but he couldn't let go of those young junior disciples, the master was gone, if he went again, what would these little junior disciples do? Among them, the youngest ninth junior brother is only five years old.

The eldest disciple called the disciples together overnight and asked them whether they were keeping the Tao or being vulgar, and the disciples all cried, the master was dead, and their Dao hearts were shaken.

In the end, only the seventh junior brother and the ninth junior brother remained, the seventh junior brother was only fifteen years old at that time, but the Dao heart was very resolute, just not to leave, the ninth junior brother was still young and ignorant, so the eldest disciple took them and fled into the mountains together, rather fleeing than returning to the vulgar!

It was a long winter, heavy snow covered the mountain, for their three brothers, cold and hungry, extremely difficult, fortunately in the mountain at that time, there were more wild animals, hares, pheasants, and some unknown birds, catch these things to eat, barely starved to death, they also found a small cave in the mountain, although it was small, it was enough for three people to live.

At the beginning, the three brothers ate the dry food brought out from the temple, and after the dry food was eaten, they began to catch small animals all over the mountains and fields to eat, and the eldest disciple also carried a few boxes of matches, and every time they found firewood, and roasted the small animals to eat.

In a blink of an eye, a year has passed, and the time has come to the autumn of the following year, and the mountains are full of fruits and wild vegetables, and the food is quite sufficient.

However, one day, suddenly, a group of people broke into the mountains from outside the mountain, each wearing a red armband, which was the symbol of the Red Guards. When the three brothers saw it, they thought they were coming to arrest them, so they quickly came out of the cave and hid elsewhere. However, the Red Guards discovered the cave where they were sheltering, and they kicked out the bonfire at the entrance of the cave, broke into the cave, and burned everything in the cave with a single fire.

After the Red Guards left, the three brothers came out, and when they went to the cave, they saw that it was black and gray......

The matches on the eldest disciple's body had long since run out at this time, and the bonfire fire left at the entrance of the cave was gone. What to do, after the three brothers were hungry, they began to eat raw, whether it was plants or animals, and they all ate raw food directly after they were caught.

At this point, some people may ask, why don't they dig wood to make fire? Don't talk about it, drilling wood for fire is not as simple as it is written in the book, there are many conditions that need to be met, where are they and that.

As for the cave, they didn't dare to live any longer, and went deeper into the mountains, but fortunately, at that time, there were many clear springs on the mountains, and the only thing they did not lack was water.

In a blink of an eye, a few years have passed, and the specific years, this eldest disciple doesn't remember, only that the five-year-old ninth junior disciple before him is about the same height as him, he is tall, and he has grown up.

At this time, the Cultural Revolution may have passed, but the three of them are still hiding and not daring to see people, as they did back then, for fear of being arrested and criticized again.

At the foot of the mountain, they saw a village, and there were faint people walking around in the village.

At night, because they didn't find food, the three of them went to bed hungry, and the eldest disciple fell asleep in a daze, and he didn't know how long he slept, and he smelled a strong smell of boiled meat in his nostrils, and he couldn't sleep anymore.

It's been a long time since I've eaten cooked food in an iron pot, how can there be such a good thing?

At first, the eldest disciple thought that he was dreaming, but when he got up and asked, he realized that these two junior brothers, while he was asleep, went to the village at the foot of the mountain during the day, and stole a pot, a knife, a few boxes of matches and two old hens from the village, and it was the two old hens that were stewed in the pot at this time.

The eldest disciple was furious, although they lived like savages at this time, drinking blood, they were still Taoist priests, and they never dared to forget their identity for a day. Then again, as a monk, where can anyone steal from other people's things!

The eldest disciple scolded the two junior disciples severely, and originally wanted to ask them to send the things back, but when he saw the yellow and thin faces of the two junior disciples, he just sighed......

The next night, the eldest disciple personally took the two junior disciples back to the village with iron pots, knives, and matches, and then took the two junior disciples to the deep mountains and walked again, and warned them that they would never be allowed to go out of the mountains again without their permission!

In the winter of the same year, the mountain was covered by heavy snow again, and the three extremely difficult days of the brothers and sisters came again.

Because of the lack of food, the eldest disciple could leave one bite and let the two junior disciples eat as much as possible. However, people are iron and steel, and the eldest disciple finally suffered from starvation because of excessive hunger, and his thin eye sockets were deep-set, skinny and bone-covered, and he lay motionless and dying in a shack paved with weeds.

I don't know that after a few days, the eldest disciple who didn't even have the strength to open his eyes suddenly felt a thick liquid flowing into his mouth, with a strong fragrance on the liquid, as if it was some delicious thick soup, he cheered up and swallowed the soup in his mouth into his stomach, followed by it, took a sip, and drank it until he didn't want to drink it.

There was something in his stomach, and the whole person recovered a little, he barely opened his eyes to see, and he felt that his vision was blurry, and in the haze, there was a person squatting beside him in a trance, but he couldn't see who it was.

The next day, the eldest disciple was fed thick soup again, and his spirit was better, this time, he saw clearly, it was no one else who fed and drank the soup, it was his junior brother.

He wanted to ask the junior brother where the soup came from, but his lips could only shake slightly, but he couldn't make any sound.

A few days later, the eldest disciple's body slowly recovered, and he was helped up from the grass nest by the younger junior disciple, and the eldest disciple asked the younger junior brother, where did he get the soup? The little junior brother just shook his head at him and didn't say a word.

When he was fed soup by the junior brother again, the eldest disciple looked into the shack next to him, and asked the junior brother again, where is your seventh senior brother, why haven't you seen him all this time?

The junior brother still shook his head, and the eldest disciple suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

The little junior brother left after feeding the soup, and the eldest disciple didn't find an iron pot or even a bonfire near the shack, so he felt that the little junior brother must have something to hide from him.

After another two or three days, the eldest disciple tried to stand up after the little brother fed him the soup and left, and he was able to stand up from the grass nest, but he did not make a noise, and when the little junior brother came to feed him the soup again and left, he quietly got up from the grass nest and followed the little junior brother.

The little junior brother walked in front, the eldest disciple followed behind, and did not let the younger junior brother find out, soon, the little junior brother turned around the hill in front, and the eldest disciple followed to the corner, and did not turn around in a hurry, holding on to the stone wall, the probe looked at the corner, it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, at a glance, the eldest disciple's brain suddenly "buzzed", his eyes were black, his chest was tight, and a mouthful of blood almost didn't spurt out of his mouth......
