Chapter 220: Driving Wolves and Lying on Stones
When he heard this, he swallowed and said, "But, but he said it...... If I go again next time, he'll kill me. ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "That's scaring you, he is just a little god guarding the mountain, if he really harms your life, your local immortal will go to the Jade Emperor to join him, and when the time comes, he will at least be removed from the immortal bones and reduced to a mortal, and suffer from birth, old age, sickness and death, and reincarnation forever!" ”
Dayou blinked in amazement, to be honest, these words of the middle-aged man were like the myths and stories told by the old people in the village, and he was a little stupid when he heard them. However, regardless of whether it is a myth or not, the uncomfortable feeling of dying and living on my body just now is true, and if I don't go into the mountain and give that "clay pot" to this southern barbarian, I am afraid that I will not live tomorrow, but at this time, there are wolves in the mountain, not to mention, in case the big black man in the mountain col ......
There is really a wolf in front of him, and there is a tiger in the back, and he feels that he is in a dilemma between the tiger and the wolf, but he turned his head and thought, since this southern barbarian is looking for himself to get a clay pot for him, he must be sure, otherwise he will not be able to get a clay pot if he puts his life in the mountain, instead of waiting for death at home, it is better to go into the mountain to try his luck, in case he can get the clay pot back, not only can he save his life, maybe this southern barbarian is happy, and he really sends a big fat son to his two sons.
When I thought of my big fat son, Dayou immediately became motivated.
In the end, he turned his heart on the side and asked the middle-aged man, "If I take the clay pot back, will you really ask us for a big fat son?" ”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Brother Dayou, don't forget, my name is also written on that piece of paper, as long as you help me get the clay pot back, I will immediately help you ask for a child, and I will not break my word......"
"Good! I'm going to go into the mountains! ”
Kind people will always use the best sustenance in adversity to lick their wounds.
Saying goodbye to the middle-aged man, Dayou went home for a trip, Xiaozhen hadn't slept yet, she was sitting under the oil lamp and wiping her tears worriedly. Dayou comforted her a few words, told her to go to bed early, and went into the mountains at this time. Xiao Zhen's face changed greatly when she heard this, and asked Dayou what she was doing in the mountains at this time, there were so many wolves in the mountains. Dayou ignored her, went to the courtyard and took a firewood knife and pinned it to his waist, and left with a lantern!
At this time, it was just a watch day, and it was about seven o'clock in the evening at the current time. Walking to the mountain pass, Dayou's brain gradually cleared up, and he felt that his entry into the mountain this time was unpredictable, so he looked back in the direction of his home, and sighed in a sigh......
The mountains are long, the moon is as cool as water, and there is a long wolf moo in the distance of the mountains, and the wolves have begun to get excited.
After walking into the mountains for a long time, although Dayou did not encounter wolves, the more he walked, the more he felt that something was wrong, and finally stopped on a mountain beam. Why, because you think it's strange, what about the path?
I took out the sketch from my body, put the lantern at my feet, opened the sketch and looked at it by the bright moonlight, yes, the sketch clearly drew a winding path, look at this position, I just happened to be standing on the path, but ...... Why is there no road in front of me, it is exactly the same as the last time I came during the day, the feet are full of weeds and thorns, didn't the Nanban say that you can see this path on a full moon night, why can't you see it? Could it be that I am on the wrong path?
After carefully comparing the mountains and forests with the sketch, Dayou thought that the position he was standing on was not correct at all, but there was really no map of the path under his feet. Looking at the sketch, and looking at the mountains and forests in front of and behind him, I was very puzzled, so the southern barbarian wouldn't be lying to himself, right?
Folded the sketch into his arms, and accidentally touched another item in his arms - a purse, I remember that the southern barbarian said, with the purse wolves dare not touch him, walked for so long did not meet the wolves, is it really the credit of this purse?
Dayou only found out that the purse was hard at this time, and he didn't know what was inside, and after the sketch was put back in his arms, Dayou couldn't help but take the purse out of his arms again.
When I took the purse and sketch from the Nanban before, I was more emotionally disordered, and I didn't care too much about the purse, so I took the purse in my hand, and it was not only hard inside, but also quite weighty, and I felt like a stone was contained in it.
The purse is still the same as I saw before, the white coarse cloth is sewn, and there is a scary black dragon embroidered on the front and back respectively.
What's in it? Dayou couldn't help but pull the bundle on the purse open and look inside.
It's really a stone, and when you take it out, it's a round bluestone piece smaller than the palm of your hand, about the same thickness as your palm. Dayou took the bluestone piece in his hand and looked at it a few times, and saw that the bluestone piece was messy on both sides and didn't know what to draw, as if it was painted with a brush, one by one, blood red and blood red, it looked very strange, and the fishy smell I smelled just now was emitted by this bluestone piece, and the smell was stronger when I took it out of my purse, and I choked my nose a little.
Is this stinky thing really wolf-proof? Dayou didn't know what it was, so he stuffed it back into his purse after reading it. As for the purse, because of the smell on it, Dayou felt that his diaphragm should be panicked, so he didn't put it in his arms anymore and tied it to the waistband of his trousers.
What is this stone? There is a lot of people who don't know, but if someone knows, who does? My grandfather. When my grandmother told my grandfather about this incident, my grandfather said that it was a "wolf-repelling stone", which was an ordinary thing in the eyes of some people, and a rare thing in the eyes of ordinary people.
My grandmother asked my grandfather, what is this stone in your eyes?
My grandfather laughed, guess what?
My grandfather also said that when it comes to this kind of stone, it is not easy to come by, and this is a "lying stone" dug out of the holes of those fierce beasts.
My grandmother asked, what is a "lying stone"?
My grandfather explained that it was the stone on which the beast was sleeping, and these stones had been stained with a strong smell of the beast over time, and the bear lying on the stone was the best, followed by the tiger lying on the stone, and the bear and the tiger were much more ferocious than the wolf, and the wolf would avoid them when they smelled them, and of course, this was not enough to resist the large wolves. After the stone is dug out, it is polished into a pattern, soaked in a special secret medicine for a few months, and then used tantric means to draw wolf repellent runes on it with the blood of fierce beasts such as tigers.
So who will bring this every day? My grandmother asked again.
My grandfather said, this ...... Most of them are worn by tomb robbers in the deep mountains and old forests, back then, Brother Xiao and I met another group of tomb robbers in an ancient tomb, the two sides disagreed, a fierce battle, we beat the group of tomb robbers away, in the items they fell on such a stone, and then Brother Xiao gave the stone to the eleventh ......
And what happened to the stone? My grandmother asked again.
I don't know......
Speaking of this, it seems to have touched my grandfather's dusty past again, and my grandmother didn't dare to ask any more.
Writing here, seriously, I really want to write another biography of my grandfather, but this book has been, has written my grandfather old, and my grandfather will die in this book in the future, if I write a biography again, I feel that it is meaningless, friends who have read this book, and then read the biography of my grandfather, may look at his experience, while thinking down, no matter how heroic you are, don't you still die in the end. I'm thinking...... I want to write most of his experiences into my experience, I will play him, I will live for him, and I will continue the legend for him!
Of course, this is just an idea, and time is a problem when it comes to writing, and it will be very difficult, and it will lead to a lot of things that have long been lost from the Qing Dynasty to the 21st century, and when the time comes, my experience will be messed up.
Forget it, let's get down to business.
After tying up his purse, Dayou lifted the lantern from the ground and continued to walk, because he had walked once before, and he could find the place without looking at the sketch.
An hour later, the time has basically come to the second watch, and there is only a need to climb over a small hill beam at this time to see the previous mountain pass. However, Dayou suddenly realized one thing at this time, that is, the white cloth lantern in his hand, in fact, the moonlight tonight is very bright, and he can see the road clearly without playing the lantern, but at that time, he saw the middle-aged man handing him the lantern, and he took it casually.
Thinking of this, Dayou hurriedly blew out the lantern, found a random place, hid the lantern, and then pulled out the other firewood knife in his waist and took it in his hand. It's not that you want to do anything with a firewood knife, but mainly to give yourself courage.
Holding the firewood knife and continuing to walk, because it was already very close to the col, be extra careful, every few steps, Dayou had to squat into the grass nest to look around to see the situation, if there was no movement, stand up and walk forward. In this way, stop and go, and climb over the small hill beam. When you come to the other side of the ridge and go down, the small col is below.
When he cautiously arrived at the small col, he was not stupid enough to go down directly into the col, squatting in a grass cave with a better line of sight next to him and poking his head into the col. Quietly, I saw that half of the small col was reflected in the moonlight, and half was dark, and the small waterhole before was just shrouded in the moonlight, and the moonlight shone on it, causing the water surface to look like it was coated with a layer of oil film, and it was also reflected in the light, which was very strange.
Dayou looked at the big rock facing the small pool, which was the location of the hole drawn on the sketch. At a glance, Dayou was a little confused, why, there was no hole in the big stone at all, it was still a bare and flat big stone.
Dayou couldn't help but take the sketch out of his arms and look at it again, puzzled, yes, the entrance to the cave is here, and looked up at the moon again, and touched the hour, it was already two watches.
Didn't the Southern Barbarian say that he would be able to see the entrance of the cave on the second watch? What about the hole? If I don't have a hole, how can I go into the cave and get him a clay pot? This dead brute won't really lie to me!
