Chapter 237: Night Whisperer
"Looks like you're fine!" These were the first words spoken by the old man from the time he came back from herding the sheep until he had dinner.
Although there was a lot of time in the meantime, no matter how Zhang Muyang talked to the old man in this space, the old man treated it as if he didn't hear it, and he was in the air.
In the end, it was the woman who told Zhang Muyang that her father couldn't speak during the day, and he wouldn't speak until the sun set, Zhang Muyang couldn't help his chatty nature, but that curiosity was completely hooked by the woman's words.
"Thank you for saving me." Listening to the old man's words, Zhang Muyang only felt as if he had been summoned by the emperor, and his lips and teeth began to fight when he spoke.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the old man say in an unkind tone: "Young offspring should learn what is not good, and learn from others to rob tombs......"
Zhang Muyang also felt a little embarrassed when he heard it, although he knew very well in his heart that he was forced to go to Liangshan, but his education told him that if he was a person with principles in his heart, even if he encountered these things, he should move forward bravely and stick to the bottom line of his principles, and he should have the spirit of preferring to be broken rather than broken......
So he can only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, he can't say his suffering, and he has to admit it if he doesn't recognize it.
"Could it be that you kid still wants to say that you were forced!" Seeing that Zhang Muyang wanted to speak and stopped, the old man of the goatherd kowtowed the dry tobacco pouch and said.
It's just that Zhang Muyang really didn't answer now, because answering the stubble showed that he was indeed forced, but in the eyes of others, he was an unreliable person, he knew that he was not that kind of person, so he didn't want to be looked at like that, so he couldn't help but say nothing.
"Yes, boy!" The old man of the goat herd looked at Zhang Muyang silently for a long time, lowered his head and suddenly burst out with such a sentence.
Zhang Muyang listened to this unprovoked praise, and felt that the shepherd was making fun of himself, but for some reason he felt that this shepherd was making fun of himself, which was clearly an appreciation for himself.
"Dad, I don't think he's that kind of person anymore!" At this time, the woman came up and hugged the old man's arm and said a little coquettishly.
Hearing the woman speak, Zhang Muyang dared to raise his head and glance at the shepherd, by the moonlight, Zhang Muyang looked at the father and daughter under the moon, no matter how they looked, they didn't look like a family.
As the old saying goes, dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the children of mice will make holes, which clearly means that children are like parents, at least they should be somewhat similar in appearance, but the appearance of this father and daughter is really a heaven and an earth.
Zhang Muyang is not blind, this is what he thought after seeing the shepherd for the first time, at first he only had this abrupt idea, and he didn't think much about it after restraining himself, but after a long time, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it didn't look like it, but he couldn't stand up directly and ask the shepherd: "Are you sure this is your daughter?" ”
"I don't know if you saw another friend of mine when you rescued me." Zhang Muyang put away his chaotic thoughts and asked.
Hearing Zhang Muyang's question, the shepherd was stunned for a moment, then took a puff of dry smoke and thought about it and said, "When I saw you, he was already out of breath......
Although Zhang Muyang knew in his heart that it would be like this, when the news was completely landed, he still couldn't accept it, and his eyes turned red at the moment.
Let's go, let's go, the shepherd sucked two mouthfuls and then said leisurely: "If you want to say that your kid's life should not be extinguished, it was also weird to say that day, when I was herding sheep on the mountain, there was always that sheep disobedient, running around blindly, and finally it was a happy run, I dare to pack a ticket for the old man to say, I have been letting the sheep for almost a lifetime, this is the first fucking time, if it weren't for the old man, I was distressed and afraid that my sheep would be lost, and you are afraid that you will also go to see the Lord of Yama now......"
After the shepherd finished speaking, he knocked the dry tobacco pouch on the corner of the table, and the sparks were swept up by inertia and floated in the night like fireflies, like a fire mist, and like a dandelion blown away by the wind.
It's just that this seemingly ordinary Martian seed, Zhang Muyang saw something different from it, every Martian seed in front of him seemed to be still, and he looked down on it like a creator......
It seemed to be a snowy night, a thin old man with a baby in his arms, walking halfway up the mountainside, the wind was very strong, the snow was very fast, and the emaciated old man's face did not have the depression that should have been on his winter face, but a face of sunshine.
The fire flashed, and the child who was picked up by the old man slowly grew up, but the most strange thing was that the old man never spoke during the day, and only waited until night to talk to the child......
The firelight flashed again, and the old man took the child he picked up to an ancient tree halfway up the mountainside, and did something that made Zhang Muyang almost scream, only to see that the thin old man first pointed to the ancient tree and said a lot to the child, as if he was preaching something, the child nodded as if he didn't understand, and then he didn't know where the old man suddenly turned out a silver knife, pinched the child's chin with one hand, and held the knife with the other hand, pulling out a beautiful knife flower in the air, The child's originally fearless eyes suddenly had more inexplicable fear, as if he suddenly realized something, struggling to break free from the hands of the thin old man, but at this time the old man didn't know where the strength came from, and he actually carried the child into the air with one hand, and then the knife flower was still the same, and after a hoarse shout, the child's tongue was actually cut off by the old man......
Seeing this scene, Zhang Muyang raised his head and looked at the shepherd in some surprise, but the shepherd looked at him very calmly and signaled him to continue.
As the child's tongue was cut off, the thin old man picked up the child's tongue from the ground, tied it with a strip of red cloth, and threw it towards the ancient tree, just like a wishing tree, and the strip of red cloth wrapped around the tongue suddenly hung firmly on it. After doing all this, the old man took out a porcelain bowl with white jade luster from his arms, then bowed to the ancient tree three times, solemnly placed the bowl in the hollow of the tree, and then went home with the fainted child in his arms.
By the next night, it was still under an ancient tree, and the old man took out the white jade luster porcelain bowl from the hole in the tree, but there was some black viscous liquid in the porcelain bowl at this time, but it didn't match the white porcelain bowl no matter how it looked. The old man took out the bowl, and regardless of whether the child whose tongue was cut out wanted or not, he just got used to it.
But at night, seven days later, the boy said to the old man first: "This is not my life......
