Chapter 42 The Lights Are Lit at Midnight
"Phew! I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to cross this road, leave to buy road wealth, dare to say no words, go forward and cut off your head! ”
I saw a masked robber who took the lead with a large knife in his hand and pointed at us viciously.
I looked up, there were two or three people on the hillside, looking ready to go, there were seven or eight men up and down, I shook my fists, even if I had brute strength, but in this case it was not easy to use...... This one by one, if you don't let them get some oil and water to go back, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass this road!
The old woman was so frightened that she screamed and was about to run, but the three masked robbers on the hillside were already staring at our back road, and immediately flew down, and stood in front of the old woman, and one of them snatched the old woman's small hemp basket, and checked it, and immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Haha! Big brother, there are a lot of broken silver in this sack! ”
As soon as I heard this, the five masked robbers in front of me hurriedly stepped forward, and seeing this scene, I must not let the old woman face the danger alone, and quickly picked up a wooden stick, and I mustered up the courage to shout: "You robbers, the old woman's money is for her son, you can't rob it!" ”
But saying this, the little hemp basket has been taken away by others, and the old woman immediately rushed forward to snatch it down crying, and I was anxious to come forward to help but couldn't, because there were a few guys on my side who wanted to come forward and rob it madly, and sure enough, as I expected, the robber with the knife really swung the knife into the old woman's chest, and then, a stream of blood burst out - "Hahaha! Take all the money away, and this kid, you have to pay the money too, you can't go over if you don't pay the money! ”
The leading bandit in front of me sneered three times, then unscrupulously slashed his knife at my neck and screamed viciously.
"You...... You actually killed the old woman! I, I'm fighting with you!! ”
As I spoke, I angrily waved the wooden stick and hit it, and I don't know how to do it, the leading robber swung the knife head-on to block it, but unexpectedly, the wooden stick was cut off, and the broken one was accurately hit on the head of the leading robber, only to hear a muffled sound, the leading robber suddenly shook off the big knife, screamed and stretched out his hands to cover his head......
"Big brother? Eldest brother?! ”
Soon, the leading robber actually fell to the ground, I looked down at the half of the wooden stick in my hand, I didn't expect this crooked blow to be correct, what a surprise!
I beat my eldest brother to death with a stick, and the rest of the bandits were immediately in disarray, and two of them hurriedly picked up the body of the leading robber, and together with the rest of them, ran into the bushes on the hillside - the danger passed, but I could not be happy, for the old woman had not only been robbed of her money, but also lost her life, which ...... What a sin!
I walked quickly to the old woman's side, and said with tears in my eyes: "Old woman, I failed to protect you, I'm sorry for you......"
Just when I was choking with the old woman's body, I heard a footstep on the hillside again, I hurriedly looked up, but saw a masked robber go and return, this time I was startled, and quickly picked up a wooden stick to resist, unexpectedly, the masked robber walked down the stone steps at the same time, reached out and tore off the black cloth on his face, it was a delicate face, at most in his early twenties, I was stunned, looked up at the young man, and then looked down at the old woman lying in a pool of blood, it seemed to ...... That's right! Could it be that it's really him!
"Huh? Really, really my mother, mother! ”
The young man's eyes were red, two lines of tears came down his eyes, and he knelt in front of the old woman with a "plop" and cried loudly......
I couldn't help it, and scolded angrily: "You bastard! Your mother is so old, and she is still thinking about your disobedient son day and night, in order to let you have money to spend, she even sold her house and land, and wanted to send it to you in exchange for some money, but you are good, you actually robbed your mother and killed her! ”
"Mother! I'm a brute...... I'm not filial...... Woo woo woo ~ ~~ "
When the young man heard this, he immediately hugged his head hysterically and cried, the cry was full of endless desolation, endless remorse, but the so-called son wanted to raise and did not wait, the original disobedience and unfilial piety, and now the murder of the mother, in exchange, is still the old mother is concerned, she may not have thought until she died, her son not only robbed his own money, but also killed himself, but the money ...... Obviously, she gave it to her son......
The young man cried for a long time, and kept kowtowing his head in front of the old mother until his head broke and bleed, until he fainted...... Woke up and continued to express his repentance, suddenly, the young man turned around and knelt in front of me, holding the big knife in both hands, and said with blood-red eyes: "Big brother, please kill me, please give me another chance to be reborn, in the next life, I will definitely honor my mother, even if I am a cow and a horse, and I will be a grass ring...... Woo~~~"
I sighed lightly and said, "Sensei told me so much nonsense, you now know that you are not filial?" Why did you go in the first place, and begged for death when you understood it, then who will bury your old mother? Do you not care about this filial piety? Are you still human?! ”
"Woo woo~~~ Big brother, you scold well! I'm not human! I'm a brute!! ”
Crying and shouting, the young man again kept kowtowing to forgiveness of his sins, but, but the old woman could no longer see it, no more...... If the old woman was still alive, how happy she would be to see her son intending to change his mind and become a new person.
Holding the old mother's body in both hands, the young man staggered down the stone steps, choking all the way and saying, "Mother...... My son sends you to the end of your life...... Woo woo woo ~ ~~ "
Witnessing the back of the young man gradually moving away, I suddenly remembered my old mother, she still has more than ten days to live, her heart is touched, her eyes are slightly hot, I clenched my fists, sighed deeply, turned around and continued to hurry-"The Book of Filial Piety" cloud: the body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety is also; Standing on the road, making a name for yourself in future generations, in order to show your parents, and the end of filial piety.
It can be seen that filial piety to one's parents is the beginning of life.
I have mixed feelings in my heart, I speed up all the way, but today's time is still tossed by the disobedient child, seeing the sunset in the west mountain, I only walked hundreds of steps, the night gradually fell, only to see a cloud of fog in the mountains and forests, it was actually the road ahead to be shrouded, I frowned, thinking that this dark night, and there is such a thick fog, in case I get lost in the mountains, is it not a delay in the trip and miss the time?
After thinking about it, I decided to wait until tomorrow dawn and the fog cleared before setting off, so I found a nearby stone to sit down and rest, and took out some dry food to chew and chew, and after a while, on the stone steps below, suddenly there was a faint light, and when I got closer, I saw a person carrying a lantern on the mountain road.
I hurriedly greeted him, how did I know that this person was a blind old man, I was stunned, I asked in wonder, "This old man, ...... Why are you still ...... like this?"
When the blind old man heard this, he immediately stopped and said, "You kid want to ask, why do I still light a lantern when I'm blind, right?" ”
I smiled, thought for a moment, and exclaimed, "Are you lighting the way for others?" Hehe! You're such a nice guy! ”
"Fart!"
Who knows, the blind old man scolded coldly: "You stinky boy is looking for a smoker, right?!" You don't light lanterns when you can see anything, but you have to take advantage of the light of our blind people, you are really thieves! ”
"Uh......"
I was immediately speechless by the old man's words, scratched my forehead, and I said apologetically: "Uncle, you misunderstood, I want to ask, since you don't need to light the lantern, why do you still carry it to suffer?" This mountain road is not easy to walk, but it is not as comfortable as the breeze on the sleeves. ”
When the blind old man heard this, he suddenly became anxious again: "I can order if I want, and if I don't want to order, I won't order, how can there be so many whys, don't get in the way of my idle boredom, go aside!" ”
Stunned to watch the blind old man gradually move away, I "soared" in my heart and sparked a nameless fire, the old man has a big temper, so I asked a few words as for scolding? !
Seeing the blind old man disappear into the mist, I stood up, my head suddenly heated, although the old man's words rushed a little, but it seems to be very reasonable, life is in the world, you can leave if you want, you can stay if you want to, why bother to affect your heart for some external interference? Well, if I stop moving because of the mist, then how can I find the elixir in seven days?
After thinking about it, I hurriedly set off on the road, looking for the whereabouts of the blind old man, and quickly chased after him.
