Chapter 50: Escape from Damo Mountain
Bodhidharma Mountain.
Only Kogi is still alive. He stood smartly on the edge of the stone wall, grasping the lampstand to keep his balance. Seeing the Assassins fall into the abyss, he turned the lampstand back and the bluestone slab returned to its original appearance.
The cave was silent.
Xiaomu trembled on his knees, tears and snot drooping. He timidly pressed his ear to the slate, unable to hear any movement. The assassins who had killed countless people were easily eliminated by this thin little tomb robber?
A strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, almost madly laughing. He didn't believe that the Assassins had come to his rescue, and that he was just an insignificant pawn in a world of troubled human life, a secret he could not understand, like his humble name. Once he loses his usefulness, his throat will be cut off, just like the people killed by the Assassins like chickens. And he no longer wants to be at the mercy of others, and he doesn't want to be a zombie in a coffin in the ancient tomb!
He has mastered a simple truth - with a brain, far more powerful than with a knife.
Today, from this isolated island, Xiao Mu only wants to be his own master and let others crawl under his feet, not the other way around.
He rushed out of the cave and saw the first ray of sunshine in half a year. Fortunately, I was prepared, I went out with my eyes closed, and then slowly opened my eyes. He saw the sea, the stones, the wasteland, and the hilltop lighthouse. He smelled the sea breeze, salty and moist, and it brought tears to his eyes.
He saw the ama, a twenty-year-old woman between the barren sea and the sky, her golden skin stained with bright red blood, like a goddess worshiped by the islanders. She pulled a sharp fishknife from the chest of a young corpse.
The ama killed the little widow in the fishing village.
The islanders betrayed her, betrayed her two sons, and were nearly burned to death by the Assassins. She also spotted the little widow taking the Assassin to the cave. She can't tolerate betrayal, whether it's for Ouyang Sicong or for herself. She vows to kill all shameless traitors.
The ama rushed at Kogi with her sword raised, deciding to die with the prisoner. Xiao Mu has no power to restrain the chicken, not to mention that he has been imprisoned for so long, and he is not a savage sea lady opponent. He gave up resistance, opened his arms, knelt on the stone, and smiled.
The fishknife stopped in front of his heart.
For the first time, the ama could see Kogi's eyes in the sun, the troupe's horn-like eyes and long hair, except for the beard on his lips, he was a beautiful man.
The knife fell between the cracks in the stones.
Kogi got up and sealed her lips with his mouth. Instead of resisting, she grabbed him around the neck, as if to set the two men together. They kissed countless times, in the dark cave cellar, but under the sun of Mt. Dharma, it was a very different taste.
The heart of the ama burns brightly.
In this world, the ama is the only one who can afford Kogi and is willing to give his body and heart to him. Although, she is a woman, not a man he likes.
The ama gasped and parted from him, panicking, "What about the assassins? ”
"I turned the lampstand on the stone wall, and they all fell into the trap."
She hugged Xiaomu again: "My heart, you are so good! Those people are heinous bastards, and they should have been cut with a thousand knives a long time ago! ”
The ama hated those assassins to death, and not only killed Ouyang Sicong, but also burned her children to death.
"Don't worry, even if they don't fall to their deaths, they will starve to death! What now? ”
"Go to the eldest and second."
The "boss" she said is the eldest son Ouyang Lu, and the "second" is the second son Ouyang Lianfan. Xiaomu accompanied her to the highest point of Mt. Dharma.
The islanders still gathered in front of the stone house. Ouyang Sicong's two young sons have been recaptured by the sea lady in a huff. Xiaomu helped her pick up the baby. And she slashed at the islanders with a fishknife. The able-bodied men were killed by the Assassins, and the remaining old men and women could not defeat her, and fled to all corners.
"You can't kill them."
Xiao Mu reminded the ama.
Only then did she realize that after this earth-shaking change, it was impossible for her to stay in Dharma Mountain. Every islander has become her enemy. The islanders also believe that it was the presence of ama and Kogi that brought death and disaster to the island.
The ama saw a small steamboat parked in the fishing port below the mountain.
Leaving Damo Mountain is their only choice, even if Ouyang Anna returns to the island, she will definitely not tolerate the shameful relationship between the sea girl and Xiaomu.
With their two children in their arms, they went straight to the fishing port at the foot of the mountain. The sailors on the steamship were hired by the Assassins and had no combat power of their own. The ama easily got on board and stabbed two sailors to death with a fishknife. The last sailor, forced into the wheelhouse by her, had to light the anchor and set sail to leave the Dharma Mountain.
Xiao Mu threw the body into the sea and took care of the two young children, and in the vast sea and sky, the Dharma Mountain was condensed into a small black dot.
In the cockpit, the fish knife rests on the sailor's neck. The sailor asks the ama where to go? She was confused, as long as she could leave the Dharma Mountain...... suddenly remembered, isn't Ouyang Sicong the boss of Shanghai Tang? Although he is no longer alive, he still has some foundation, shouldn't his disciples take care of Master's young son?
"Go to Shanghai!"
The ama gave the order. It's a pity that she miscalculated - Ouyang Sicong's apprentices have long hated the ruthless master, and if the two young sons fall into their hands, I am afraid that it will be even worse.
As he spoke, the sailor punched the ama door, and the knife flew into the sea. The sailor calculated in his heart that he was a big man, and it was impossible for him to beat a woman. The sailor picked up the wrench again, and saw that he was going to smash the ama's head.
Suddenly, the back of the sailor's head shattered - Xiaomu hacked him to death with an axe.
The bodies were thrown into the sea, leaving only the young man and woman on board, as well as two nursing babies.
But they couldn't go back to Shanghai. Can't go anywhere. The ama can sail a boat, but she has never touched a steamship and doesn't know how to operate a machine. Kogi didn't know anything either.
The steam engine went out.
A ship that has lost power, without a mast, cannot make sails even if all the clothes and sheets are torn off. Xiao Mu only found two oars, but it was too difficult to row a small boat with a steel shell in the endless sea.
They drifted on the sea.
All the fresh water on board was reserved for the two children. It was cloudless and there was no sign of rain. This is not a boat to freedom, but a boat to hell.
The ama did not scruple to be seen by the two children. She took off her clothes and hugged Xiaomu like she was diving in the sea, and kissed a man of the same age. Like a drowning man who is about to sink, Xiaomu has no choice, whether it is a man or a woman, there are only a few dozen hours left in his life, what else can he hold onto?
He is like a tree in an underground palace, and she is like a flame in the sea and a spring in the mountains, sometimes making him grow with moisture, and sometimes burning him to ashes......
In the East China Sea, a powerful ocean current headed east. The water is almost black and deep blue, which is the "Kuroshio" that originated in the waters of Taiwan.
Ouyang Sicong's two young sons each bit the nipples on both sides of the ama. Xiao Mu lay on her stomach and gazed at the sunset in the west, the land of the Asian continent where countless ancient graves were buried.
"Xiaomu, you have avenged my husband. According to the old rules of our Dharma Mountain Islanders, in order to thank and repay you, I am willing to follow you for the rest of my life, no matter where you go? ”
The sea lady is true, the barbaric and backward islands are still prevalent in the customs of blood revenge left over from ancient times. If you don't take revenge, you will be laughed at by everyone. If someone avenges the death of her husband, the widow can marry him with all her possessions.
Xiao Mu looked at the vast sea in despair: "But we are going to the underworld." ”
