Chapter 39: The Undead
Humpty Dumpty almost begged: "Master, there is nothing unusual about me, I am very sober, Master, you let me go." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Zhang Lao closed his eyes and said faintly: "No wonder I am a teacher, and I am also a teacher for everyone's safety." After speaking, Zhang Laozhen gave him a rope and hung it on his shoulder, Tong Xiangyu said: "Zhang Lao, is the decision you made too arbitrary, or let's wait for him to react?" ”
Zhang Lao glanced at Tong Xiangyu: "Confused, when he has a reaction, it's too late." With a snort, Humpty Dumpty fell to the ground with a bang, only to see him kneeling on his knees, and shouted heartbreakingly: "Master, please let me go, I will definitely follow the work of dogs and horses in the future." ”
The short and fat man said to the tall and thin man, "Please plead with Master, I can do whatever you want me to do." ”
The thin and tall man was also a little overwhelmed at this time, tears were in his eyes, and his heart began to soften: "Master, no matter what you say, he is your apprentice, my junior brother, or you let him go for the time being, if he really reacts, we will not be too late to clean him up." ”
Zhang Lao was not hard-hearted, nodded and said, "Then listen to you and talk about it depending on the situation." ”
At this moment, the very familiar and extremely sharp voice suddenly sounded, like a thunderstorm on the flat ground, roaring from far and near, shocking people's hearts. Our eardrums were about to be cracked, and several people covered their ears in unison, Zhang Lao suddenly sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and said vaguely: "A few people, please sit down quickly, there is a Yin soldier coming." ”
Again? We don't know what medicine he sells in his gourd, only that he seems to be the authority here, so we maintain the same posture as him. I was actually quite disgusted by this old man's shocked attitude, and there were many things that seemed inexplicable. On the one hand, he acts like he knows everything, and on the other hand, he acts like a coward. However, there are some things that he would rather believe in than believe in what he does not, and what he wants to do, just follow his coming.
Zhang Lao said to everyone: "Please be quiet, keep your heart calm, this kind of sharp voice is disturbing our minds. ”
The sound was worse than shoveling concrete, and my face was tense, resisting the intrusion of the sound, and I didn't even dare to breathe, as if I would inhale the sound into my body as soon as I exhaled. The sound lasted for about two minutes before it finally stopped. It was as if we had been baptized, and everyone's faces were flushed, and as soon as the voices stopped, the whole person relaxed.
The tall and thin man said, "It's finally all right, let's all get up!" We all kicked our breath in a big gulp, but Zhang Lao still sat there with his eyes closed, and after a while, he finally opened his eyes, frowned, and suddenly folded his hands, knelt on the ground, and said again and again: "Please forgive us!" We will follow your will. After finishing speaking, Zhang Laocai stood up and said to us, "We want to let him go, but the Yin soldiers refuse." ”
I don't know what happened just now, but I saw Zhang Lao's expression solemn, and his gaze shifted from us to Humpty Fat: "What should come will still come, and I can't escape." ”
A few of us didn't pay too much attention to Humpty Dumpty, because in our opinion, Zhang Lao was even more weird, and at this moment, a slight cry came from the side, and I hurriedly looked to the side.
I saw Humpty Dumpty on his knees, his head hanging down, his hands holding the rope, which was wrapped around his neck, and his whole body was paralyzed, like a pile of mud, and his hair fell down and covered his whole face. I hurried over to watch, brushed away his loose hair, and probed my fingers at the tip of his nose to see that he was no longer breathing.
The tall and thin man asked me, "What's wrong with him?" I glanced back at him, shook my head, he suddenly screamed hysterically, knelt down in front of Humpty Fat, a line of tears couldn't help but flow from his eyes, he looked up to the sky and shouted: "Senior brother, I'm sorry for you, let you strayed into the ghost door, if there is a next life, we will still be senior brothers." ”
There was a gust of wind blowing from the stone steps below, and our hair was about to stand on end, and at this time, I saw that the short and fat man's hair suddenly fell out, and was blown to the side by the wind, and his head was bare, and I saw the same with the thin and tall man and Zhang Lao, whose hair was blown away by the wind, revealing his bare head. They wanted to cover their hair with their hands, but found that it was too late, and seeing that the three of us were looking at them, Zhang Lao touched his head and smiled, a little reluctantly.
The second uncle said, "Wow, it turns out that you three are bald donkeys." ”
Zhang Lao immediately clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, the donor must not be rude, but I won't blame you." ”
The second uncle said: "The bald donkey is the bald donkey, I have seen the monk drink wine and eat meat, but I have never seen the monk come out to fight, you say, what is not a bald donkey?" ”
Seeing that Zhang Lao didn't speak, the second uncle continued: "Don't blame me, I speak so directly, you said that you don't stay in the temple, what are you doing when you come out to fight?" ”
Zhang Lao said: "This benefactor, I don't hide it, now the days are not peaceful, the warlords are fighting fiercely, and the temple is not peaceful, we are also desperate, come out to find a way to eat." ”
The second uncle felt that Zhang Lao was a little hard-hearted, and saw that his apprentices were like that, but he stood there indifferent, and the second uncle said: "Okay, you are a monk, your apprentices are like this, you still don't pay attention to it, don't your Buddhists pay attention to compassion?" "I said in my heart, the monk still came out to fight, and compassion was a fart.
Zhang Lao said: "It's better to focus on the overall situation, let's go with me, don't stray into the ghost gate this time." ”
The tall and thin man put the chunky man down, straightened the chunky man's loose hair, patted the dust on his clothes, and turned his face away from the chunky one. Zhang Lao also turned his face, I could feel his body trembling slightly, I glanced at him, and saw two lines of turbid tears in Zhang Lao's eyes, but I thought it was fake.
I can't put into words how I feel at the moment, what kind of person is Mr. Zhang? Is it hard-heartedness, or great compassion? As the tall and thin man faced us, I suddenly noticed a strange smile on his face, very weird, but it only lasted less than a second before disappearing.
I thought I was dazzled, so I wanted to ask the second uncle if he saw it, but the second uncle focused on Zhang Lao, and he shouldn't have seen the expression on the thin and tall face just now. I wanted to tell him what I saw, but I couldn't say it explicitly.
