Chapter 042: Frustration
The scars on my face were still very piercing, and the old man was especially kind enough to allow me to go back and recuperate for three days. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Indeed, I am now so respectful, it is strange not to scare customers away. Three days is enough for me to go up to the Mianshan Cloud Crane Temple to find the Cangwu Dao Chief.
A few days ago, I escaped death in a cave, and I felt a lot of emotion. Before going up to Mianshan, I made a phone call to go back to my hometown, and then I decided to do the most important thing - confess to Yuanyuan. This escape from death made me have an epiphany: people don't know when they will hang up, and it may be in the next minute, so what they want and want to do in their hearts must seize the time and work hard. Otherwise, because of your timidity, you don't dare to say what you want to say, and when you hang up, you will only leave regrets in your life.
Today, I decided to bite the bullet and say to Yuanyuan: I like you.
In the mist, I saw myself wearing a bright yellow robe, with a long beard, holding a peachwood sword, tossing up and down in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers. I flew to the edge of a cliff, to the old treetops, and even to the water, dancing my peachwood sword in the wind. This gust of wind brought the surrounding leaves to fall, which was spectacular.
β¦β¦
However, after I had a lot of work, I felt a lot of pain all over my body, and I felt like I had a lot of injuries on my body...... The pain was so intense that I woke me from my sleep, and I struggled to open my eyelids.
The image in front of me gradually changed from vague to clear. I looked around and immediately judged that I was lying in a simple little brick house, which was only a dozen square meters, except for the rusty iron bed where I was lying, there was only a wooden table, two wooden chairs, an iron pot, a stove, and a pile of daily necessities.
I struggled to get out of bed, but I found that my head was very dizzy, my eyes were full of stars, and I had a burning sensation in many parts of my body, and I couldn't move at all.
"Ouch!" If I didn't pay attention, the wound on my arm touched the edge of the bed, and I grinned in pain, and my facial features were twisted into crooked melons and bad dates.
My screams of pain caused an uncle to immediately lift the curtain and come in, and say, "Wake up, young man." You're covered in scars, and you can't get off the ground yet. β
I looked up and saw in front of me a dark-skinned, wrinkled uncle in his mid-fifties with a pipe in his hand. I asked, "Where am I?" Uncle, who are you? β
The uncle said: "My surname is Cao, and this is my home." Yesterday, I came back from selling turnips in town on a tricycle and found you alone in a pile of weeds down the hill, unconscious. I went up to probe your nose, and if you were still angry, I put you in the car and pulled you back, and I invited the village doctor to treat your injuries. β
"You don't know how scary you looked when I first found you! It's covered in mud and scratches, the wounds are still oozing blood, and your beard is stubbleβI think you must have fallen from a great place, right? β
I tried to remember, "yes, I did roll down the mountain. Uncle Cao, thank you for saving my life! β
Uncle Cao smiled and waved his hand: "You're welcome!" When I help others, I also accumulate blessings and virtues for my sons and grandchildren. Don't worry about anything, just take care of your injuries with me! If you want anything, you can tell me or my wife. β
I miss Uncle Cao very much. If it weren't for his warm-heartedness and picking me up on a tricycle, I would have been a cold corpse at the foot of the mountain. After thinking about it, it seemed that something was wrong, and I suddenly asked, "Uncle Cao, what time is it today?" β
"Today is the 30th."
Hearing him say this, I shuddered: After all, didn't I stay in the cave for four days?!
In the pitch-black cave where I couldn't see my fingers, there was no concept of time at all, and I had no idea that I had been locked up there for four days! This cave is ridiculously large, and I have survived this time.
I asked, "You found me at the foot of a nearby mountain?" What is that mountain called? β
Uncle Cao: "That's called Zhongtiao Mountain." Our village is the largest Hexi village at the foot of Nakajo Mountain. β
Nakajo Mountain! My heart fluttered again. I was originally in the cave under the old house of the Ma family, and as soon as I woke up, I actually arrived at the foot of Zhongtiao Mountain! From the old house of the Ma family to Zhongtiao Mountain, although it is not so far across the province, it is definitely not close; How big and long is that cave? How many detours have I made in the cave?
I suppressed the fear in my heart and asked, "Uncle has always lived in Hexi Village?" Have you ever heard of any powerful youkai on Nakajo Mountain? β
Uncle Cao immediately stopped smoking and stared at me with wide eyes, never knowing that I would ask this. He thought for a moment before he said, "Some old people have said that there is a terrible zombie king on the mountain. Some people even described it as a very tall zombie wearing a Japanese military uniform during World War II, powerful, swift and very ferocious. But it's just a legend, I haven't seen it for so many years, young man, why do you ask this? β
I shook my head to myself. There are also many legends that are true, although science does not give a reasonable explanation.
I also immediately remembered that the ghost soldier in the mass grave and Granny Lin had mentioned that there were strange things on Zhongtiao Mountain. Both sides confirmed, could it be that the thing I encountered in the cave a few days ago was the Japanese Zombie King? Judging by the readings on the e-Rogen, it is indeed incredibly powerful, and it is by no means capable of being dealt with.
β¦β¦
For three days in a row, I lay at Uncle Cao's house to recuperate, and Uncle Cao and Aunt Cao took turns to take care of me, tea, rice, soup and medicine, and took care of everything very thoughtfully. These two are honest and honest, and they are very warm-hearted. Because I have a strong true qi in my body, and my foundation is good, I was able to get out of bed and walk around after three days, so I thanked Uncle Cao and his family and struggled back to the city.
Back at the branch, I met Fa Ge. He's fine, he's changed back to normal from a preliminary corpse, but he doesn't remember much about what happened in these days. It seems that human memory is selective, and some memories are unbearable, such as horror memories, and the human brain will subconsciously forget this part of the memory.
I was relieved to see that he was okay, but immediately I became nervous again - the old man called me into the office with a black face. It's no wonder he was angry, my brother and I went on a business trip for eleven days, during which we didn't even give him a phone call or a WeChat, as the head of a store, he naturally wanted to be angry and clean up our two disobedient employees.
But when he saw the scars on my face, he kept silent with interest. Sometimes, Lao Fang is really very sympathetic to employees.
Back at the house, when the golden monkey Aji saw me, he threw the lollipop aside and immediately jumped into my arms. I stroked its furry head and said, "Aggie, I miss you too." It's been four days, and I'm narrowly out of the dead this time! β
So I hugged Aji and told Zhu Jianxinlin's mother-in-law about the Ma family's old house and the strange things in Zhongtiao Mountain. Their eyes widened as they listened. Zhu Jianxin said: "This can pick up a life, you kid is lucky with shit!" Don't be reckless in the future, run to the well alone, is it to deliver food to the monster? It's not too late to discuss with your master first. β
yes, how did I forget? Daoist Cangwu said a month ago that I have to go up the mountain once a month, and he wants to test my homework and martial arts.
I have so much to say to my master. This time I went up the mountain to see the master, and I wanted to tell him that Cheng Lili was the master of Maoshan behind him, the big black snake with a long barb, and the strange voices in the ancient corpses and caves of the Ma family's old mansion...... Oh, and also, what exactly is Phoenix Jade? Why is the mysterious master behind Cheng Lili so anxious to get it.
