Chapter 44: Selflessness and Fearlessness
After a while, the old woman came running quickly with her baby in her arms, and shouted as she ran, "Oh no! Something went wrong......"
Hearing this, I "chuckled" in my heart, what is the situation?! If something happens...... Then don't I have to carry this black cauldron inexplicably? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but "swish" with a cold wind on my back, this thing is troublesome, but I am really dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and I can't say what I have to say!
The only thing that can restore my innocence is Cuihua, if Cuihua is really dead, then I ...... I'm afraid I'm going to take my life for nowhere, what can I do?
While they were all attracted by the old woman's voice, I secretly glanced behind me, and felt the escape route, in order to seek the elixir for the seriously ill old mother's eye disease, I had to take risks!
I didn't think about it, I was just about to make a move, the old man turned around sharply and grabbed my shoulder, his eyes widened angrily, and said, "Want to run?!" No way! ”
"Emerald Flower!"
The young man was the first to rush over, and the middle-aged man and the old woman also followed, only the old man was still dragging me, saying that he would not let go of his hand, I thought to myself that an old man might not be able to get me, so I might as well take this opportunity to break free and run, right? Thinking so to myself, I violently broke free while the old man turned around, and then smeared oil under my feet, and slipped away-"Hmph! Look for death! ”
The voice did not fall, but I had already noticed that something was wrong, only to feel a strong wind behind me, hurriedly flashed, but unexpectedly a hot pain, immediately from the ass all over the body, I opened my mouth wide in shock, slightly lowered my head, but saw an iron pestle through my trousers, sticking to the ass and the ground obliquely, I couldn't help it, a row of cold sweat appeared on the forehead, this, this is too dangerous, if I accidentally hit the iron pestle, it will not be a piercing heart!
My legs were drifting, and I didn't dare to move half a minute anymore, to be precise, I couldn't move at all......
"Whew!"
The old man walked over, pulled out the iron pestle in response, snorted coldly again, and said: "Old man, I have been hunting for decades, don't say that you are a kid, even a tiger, and you can't catch my pestle!" Hmph, you want to run, don't you? I'm telling you, just let me see the emerald flowers later...... I must have slaughtered you with my own hands! ”
"Oops! Uncle! I was really wronged, alas...... You, why don't you believe me? I said, I'm ...... Alas! Forget it, this time I admit it, I'll go back with you! ”
sighed deeply, I can be regarded as getting darker and darker this time, I already knew what else to run, maybe it's okay if I don't run, I ran like this, I didn't run away, I didn't say it, I still want to pay for my life for no reason, I want to say what happened this time, but it's really an inch, but I pity the old mother at home, and the son is not filial......
Back in place, the old woman's eyes were red and swollen and choked: "Old man, our daughter-in-law Cuihua may not be able to survive this level, if she can't wake up, then Cuihua will ...... That's it...... Woo woo woo ~ ~~ "
Hearing this, my eyes lit up, it turned out that Cuihua was just in a coma, it seems that I still have a glimmer of hope, but this hope is too ethereal.
The old man glared and said, "What are the women crying about!" Carry Cuihua home, and let her wake up no matter what! ”
Saying that, the middle-aged man and the young man lifted Cuihua without saying a word, and the old woman walked behind with the child in her arms, I looked at the old man in a daze, only to see the old man frown, and said: "Before Cuihua recovers, you can't go anywhere, honestly go back with me, otherwise I will kill you immediately!" ”
"Uncle, I'm ...... I'm still on my way, and I'm five days away from the seven-day deadline, uncle, please let me go! ”
I looked at the old man almost pleadingly, but the old man was so relieved that he grabbed me by the shoulders and dragged him home without saying a word, and I thought to myself, this is a big trouble......
This Buzhou Mountain is known as the sacred mountain leading to the heavenly realm, the mountain area is very large, even if it is the mountain people who live on the mountainside, it is also the same life as the people on the plain below, not long after, I came to the old man's house, a small farm yard, the old man instructed the two sons to drive a pile in the yard, and tied me to the top with five flowers, and the eldest son, that is, the middle-aged man guarded me, claiming that if the green flower is alive, I can live, if the green flower is dead, no matter 3721, a knife will bear me!
Cuihua never woke up, because I didn't hear any more sounds in the house, and the courtyard was all lifeless, which made people worry and depressing.
A day has passed like this, I calculated the time distressedly, today has passed, there are only five days left, five days, can I climb to the top of the mountain to ask for the elixir? But...... Even if I could reach the top of the mountain in five days, imagine that I would be able to continue my journey tomorrow as I am now. It's impossible, maybe Cuihua won't wake up tomorrow, I'll still be chained like this, maybe the day after tomorrow will be like this......
Thinking of the dilemma, I couldn't help but shed a few tears, and the middle-aged man on the side saw me like this, and immediately sneered: "You kid, what tricks do you want to play?" I'm telling you, now that you're immobile, if you're still thinking about how to escape, I'll cut you with a shovel! ”
"Big brother, I really save people and don't hurt people, please believe me, I still have a seriously ill old mother at home, day and night I hope that I can go back as soon as possible to fulfill my filial piety, please be merciful and let me go!"
I almost knelt on the ground and begged for mercy from the bottom of my heart, but I was so chained that I couldn't kneel if I wanted to, so I had to watch the middle-aged man do it in a hurry.
The middle-aged man sat at the door, and when he heard my words, he pretended not to hear anything, and after a while, he said lightly: "Stay honestly, I don't believe that you are useless, if my brother and daughter-in-law really go like this, you will not be wronged even if you die!" ”
"Uh...... Why? ”
I was not convinced, and quickly retorted.
The middle-aged man raised his eyes and looked at me and said, "You said you were going to save people, but why didn't you save me, only my brother and daughter-in-law were dying?" ”
"I ......" I was blocked by a middle-aged man's words, I couldn't say half a word, yes, I meant to save people, but for a short time, I was hesitating, if I tried to rescue at the beginning, maybe the result would not be like this, after thinking about it, I still defended: "But my heart is good, even if I can't save your brother and daughter-in-law Cuihua, I, I shouldn't be responsible!" ”
"Fart!" The middle-aged man scolded angrily: "You stinky boy, you know how to push the responsibility outward, since you said that your intentions are good, why don't you help immediately?" It is an empty delay in time, you must know that every half a moment of delay, my brother and daughter-in-law and the child in the womb may face the danger of life, so that it will cause a catastrophe, even if you have good intentions, in my opinion, you are cowering, full of selfishness, and you are also a hypocrite! ”
I still want to say something, but the words to the mouth, but no matter what, I can't say it, although the middle-aged man's words are angry words, but under the careful taste, it makes my heart suddenly open, he said well, if I don't delay time, Cuihua and the child in the belly are likely not to have an accident, because I am hindered by the world, hiding selfishness, resulting in Cuihua is still unconscious, calm down, think about it, I did have, and it is a big mistake, it seems to be doing good to help others, but it is because of selfishness, the ancients cloud, the heart is selfless and the world is wide, Only those who are selfless can be fearless......
The sky gradually brightened, and this night, I thought about it for a long time, and I thought a lot, and at this moment, the old woman's surprised cry suddenly came from the house-"Cuihua has woken up!" Cuihua wakes up! ”
Not long after, the old man came to me with his family one after another, and untied me and said words of gratitude, I did not blame them for tying me up, on the contrary, I said sincerely: "I am indeed at fault this time, thank you for making me understand a truth, only with a selfless heart to do good, is it true and good......"
Saying goodbye to the old man's family, I went on the road again with ease, every time I think of the words of the middle-aged man, I grin, it turns out that things in the world are so simple, but people's hearts are too complicated.
Today is the third day, I looked up at the top of Buzhou Mountain, it was still cloudy and mist, there was no end in sight, and I couldn't help but feel anxious, it was almost half the time, and I couldn't even see the top of the mountain, it seemed that I couldn't rest anymore, and I had to hurry up.
