Chapter 50: The Origin of the Stick
Eight eyebrows spit out in a sparse uproar, was tossed miserable, I grabbed him an ear scraper and pumped over, his eyes opened suddenly, it is estimated that this person has a little ability, usually has never been treated like this, so all of a sudden a little unacceptable, hard to struggle with the tightly tied hands, on the river beach want to stand up.
"Say!" I didn't care if he was satisfied or not, I raised my hand and slapped it again, aggravating the tone: "Where did this wooden stick come from!" "
"Little bunny." Bazi eyebrows spat and spit, and suddenly began to laugh: "When I raised my head to change my life, your baby hadn't come out of your mother's belly yet, do you think it will scare your master like this?" Come on, come on, it's itchy on your body, come two more times, use a little force, don't let you underestimate you"
As soon as I heard it, I was annoyed, children who have no father and no mother since they were children are very taboo when people mention their parents, let alone such insulting words. I picked up the wooden stick, raised my hand and hit it with a stick, and the eight-figure eyebrow hand was helped, and my leg was injured again, and it was like a sack on the ground, and I couldn't dodge. This lotus wood was hard and iron-like, and a stick smashed on the right cheek of the figure-eight eyebrows, and even I felt pain for him.
"Hiss" Bazimei gasped, coughed twice, spit out two teeth, turned over, wanted to get up, and said sharply: "Little cub!" Grandpa catches you! Peel your skin! "
"Your head is hidden? It's all about talking crazy at this time! I smashed it with another stick, but I still couldn't dodge it, my cheeks were swollen at once, blood oozed from the corners of my mouth, and I vomited out of my nose and mouth with uncontrolled river sand.
"Go out and ask! Grandpa is a soft man? If you don't kill me today, Grandpa will kill you when you go back! There is a kind of you who killed grandpa, told you, killed me, and don't even think about taking a word out of grandpa's mouth! "
"You think I don't dare!" I was very annoyed, this thing has been tied up like a hemp foot shrimp, and a grandfather, I was angry when I heard it, grabbed him, and walked towards the place near the river, and when the water submerged the calf, I grabbed the figure eight eyebrows and pressed him into the water.
I showed no mercy and pressed him in for two or three minutes before I was pulled out of the water. The eight-character eyebrows were soaked, and when the water came out, he gasped for breath, and his eyes were a little stunned. I asked him, and he was still scolding, not saying a word, grabbing and pressing again.
After repeating this several times, the figure-eight eyebrows were a little unbearable, so I dragged him up with my backhand and took out a knife and put it on his neck.
"Say it or not! A dead person on the beach of the Yellow River is no different from a dead ant! I'll only ask one last time, don't say, kill you and throw you into the river! "
Bazi Mei panted and pretended to be dead, his eyes drooped and refused to speak, I added a little force to my hand, and my mind was full of resentment after being chased and tossed, and I was stubborn, if Bazi Mei was really hard and didn't speak, I really don't know if I would stab him to death.
With a strong hand, the knife cut a cut in the neck of the eight-figure eyebrow, and I continued to increase the force, and when it was almost over, I pulled the eight-figure eyebrow and prepared to press it into the water.
"Don't press it!" The eight-character eyebrows, who had been drooping their eyelids, suddenly shouted: "I said! "
I put away the knife and brought the swastika back up, and he gasped for a moment, looked at me, and said, "What do you want to ask?" "
"The origin of this stick." I took the wooden stick and said, "I know the lotus wood, and I know other things, don't expect to lie and fool around, I will do what I say, if you say a lie, I will stab you!" "
Bazimei is the kind of person who is strong on the outside and dry in the middle, and if he can't fight the old knife, he wants to escape, and if he can't resist the torture, his mouth won't be hard.
The old knife guessed correctly before, the ghostly old woman is a member of the paper man Zhang family, but she is not the Zhang family, she married into the paper man Zhang family, and she has been working for many years, and she has a group of children and grandchildren, and she has a lot of weight in the family.
"She's your sister?"
"Yes." Bazi Mei may have been scared by the water, and as soon as I asked, he answered immediately.
"Do you think other people are stupid?" The question that came to me again: "How old are you, how old is that old woman?" "
"You're not asking where this stick came from? You'll understand when I'm done. Bazimei said a few words, probably thinking that I would not beat him again, and there was a slight presumptuousness in his words: "If you don't believe it, why ask Lao Tzu." "
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"Believe it or not?" Bazi Mei stared at the wooden stick in my hand, the corners of his mouth crooked, and said, "You think this is a good thing?" I haven't been able to go home for so many years! "
The old woman was still young when she married into the Zhang family, only twenty-four or five years old, and at that time, the eight-character eyebrows were only two years old, and she followed the old woman to the Zhang family. He grew up in Zhang's family, learned the crafts of the Zhang family, and the old woman also taught some.
At that time, the general environment was tight, and the boatmen in the mixed rivers and lakes were very low-key, secretive, and very careful, so the events that happened in those years were rarely disseminated. About twenty years ago, the Zhang family joined forces with others to get some parallel goods from the river, and Bazimei also participated, but after all, he was not a descendant of the Zhang family, so he was not assigned a serious errand, just near the river, and belonged to the mobile personnel.
What kind of parallel goods to salvage, in fact, Bazimei is not very clear in his heart, but he knows that it may be something amazing, so there are more people who go. They got about seven or eight boats, all with very thick ropes, and the weather was not abnormal, but when they got into the water, it rained, and it rained very heavily, which is quite rare in the dry season when the water level is very low.
Bazimei did not have a specific task, and the wind was near the river, and the people in the distance braved the rain to work, and successively sent a few people with good water skills to go into the water with ropes. There were only about two cigarettes, and the surface of the river, which was only half of the usual water level, suddenly rumbled as if a bomb had exploded, and several boats were all overturned. The huge waves surging under the water quickly spread to all sides, turning their boat to the sky with the wind in the distance.
The wateriness of the figure-eight eyebrows is not very good, and they are more panicked than others after falling into the water. But it is very strange, it stands to reason that the river is more turbid in the dry season, but when the Bazimei falls into the water, I vaguely see a huge and glowing shadow in the river, going upstream. Waves tumbled up from under the water, washing the people who fell into the water in all directions, but the eight-figure eyebrows could not escape, and felt a force in the water, pulling him down like a choking of his neck.
"Fortunately, I took a sharp breath when I was ventilating at that time before I was pulled down, otherwise, I would have hung at the bottom of the river back then."
At the same time as the eight-character eyebrows were pulled down, I felt a yellow light that was almost mixed with the river. He finally saw what the huge shadow under the water was.
"It's a statue of a god covered with copper." Bazi eyebrows smacked his lips and said: "If you love to believe it, you can believe it, anyway, I'm telling the truth." "
"So much nonsense from there! Go on! "I scolded him sharply, I can't give a good face to this kind of person, and if I give him a good face, I will kick my nose in the face. While I scolded him, I thought to myself that Bazimei's words might be true, at least not all of them were made up lies.
What the hell is that bronze wooden statue? Judging from the old ghost's account at the time, it was at least floating in the Yellow River for at least one or two thousand years.
The splayed eyebrows can't be like me, there is a membrane under the eyelids, and the water walker can hardly see anything after going down the river, but the splayed eyebrows are clearly aware that the huge wooden statue is trembling slightly while sliding at the bottom of the river. The yellow light almost illuminated the bottom of the water, and in less than half a minute, the copper skin wrapped around the chest of the wooden statue suddenly exploded, and the wooden statue under the copper skin also clicked and cracked out.
The invisible suction seemed to emanate from that opening, and the eight-figure eyebrows were suddenly pulled to the wooden statue at the bottom of the river. The lotus wood is extremely hard, and the knife can't cut it, but when the copper skin and the wooden statue crack together, a piece as thick as a small arm collapses, and the eight-character eyebrows don't know what this is at all.
"And then?"
"Then" the corners of the eyebrows twitched, and the next thing he saw was something he hadn't imagined before, there was such a big wooden statue under the water, which was already very surprising, but when the eight-figure eyebrows were sucked in front of the wooden statue, he saw an unexpected scene from the crack on the wooden statue's chest at a glance: "Do you know what is inside the wooden statue?" "
"What is it?" I really want to be indifferent, but the mysterious wooden statue has completely attracted all my attention, it has been floating in the river for so many years, maybe some people have been looking for it, I thought, a simple wooden statue, there should not be so much temptation, the value of the wooden statue, not in itself. The eight-character eyebrows said this, and sure enough, there was something else in the wooden statue.
"There's a man in the wooden statue." The eight-character eyebrows seem to be able to recall that scene back then.
"Alone? What people!? "I was taken aback, because I had no idea that there would be a person in the bronze wooden statue.
The lotus wood statue is carved out of the whole log, very thick, through the crack on the chest of the wooden statue, the eight-character eyebrows can see that there is a person lying quietly inside the wooden statue. It was an old man, who, despite being soaked in water, had a ruddy and lifelike complexion, and his hair and beard were long, rising and falling slowly with the current.
From the eight-character eyebrows into the water to this time, in fact, the time is not long, when I see the people in the wooden statue, the eight-character eyebrows are completely stunned, the people who walk the boat will often encounter strange things, but such strange things, almost unimaginable.
At the same time that the eight-figure eyebrows were stunned, it seemed that the old man who had been sleeping in the wooden statue suddenly opened his eyes.
