Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Crisis Comes
Yan Liqiang squatted down in front of the old man, then let the old man put his arms around his shoulders, and leaned his upper body on his back, and then he carefully hugged the old man's thighs near his buttocks, and slowly stood up......
"Uncle, you see if this will work, if it hurts, you can say ......"
"Young man, you are a good person, I really bothered you today......" the old man who collected medicine said excitedly.
"No trouble, no trouble, I'll send you down the mountain first......
"Well, the mountain road is slippery and steep, young man, you go slowly......"
"Uncle, don't worry......"
The old man's body, less than seventy kilograms, is nothing to Yan Liqiang, Yan Liqiang is on his back, he doesn't feel tired, let alone disgusted, after his back is stable, he strides down the mountain.
"Young man, where are you from......"
On the way down the mountain, the old man who was collecting medicine took the initiative to speak and chatted with Yan Liqiang.
"I'm not from anywhere, the four seas are my home......" Yan Liqiang smiled bitterly.
"At such a young age, the world is home, what about the parents at home......"
"Passed away......"
"Hey, the young man looks at you as a talented and dignified person, but I didn't expect you to be a lonely and hard-working person!" the old man sighed.
"Hehe, in this world, there are many people who are more miserable than me, God at least hasn't let me lack arms and legs, and I still have the ability to support myself, sometimes think about it, don't ask too much!"
"Young man, you're quite open-minded, better than me at this age!"
"Where to say, I'm just having fun in the bitterness, I can't be sad all day, if it's like that, others are bored of watching it, and it's uncomfortable for me to see it, people can't live in pain forever, they have to look forward, they have to have a head......"
"Yes, people have to have a head to live!" the old man laughed, "Just like me, living to this age, I also have no children and no daughters, and I am poor, I also think that I go up the mountain every day to collect medicine, although I can't earn a few dollars, but my medicine can save people, so I persever!"
"Uncle, don't you have anyone else in your family?"
"No, it's just me, sometimes, this person is with people, and he also has to talk about fate, things without fate, you can't force it, even if you go to the ends of the earth, it's useless......" The old man sighed.
"Yes, in this world, everything is about fate!"
It's rare to meet a person who can still talk to himself, this person doesn't have anything to do with him, Yan Liqiang didn't hide it, but opened his heart and chatted with the old man, this chat, the pressure and resentment of these days since rebirth, have vented a lot.
"By the way, I remember that the road above is the way to the Dragon and Tiger Sect, young man, you are a disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, right......?"
"I want to join the Dragon and Tiger Sect, but unfortunately the Dragon and Tiger Sect doesn't accept it, saying that my origin is unknown......" Yan Liqiang sighed as he descended the mountain.
"Indeed, the disciples accepted by these big sects must be able to find out the identity of the people, like the young man, you are home all over the world, so that people can't find their roots, they don't dare to accept them at all, for fear that you are an undercover agent sent by the opponent to their sect, like these big sects, who don't have a few opponents and enemies, even if they don't, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will be jealous and jealous, and will covet the cultivation secrets in these sects, so they are very strict with their disciples, and basically they are all children of good families with family backgrounds......"
Yan Liqiang was silent, what the old man said was his most helpless and desperate, the rules of these big sects to recruit disciples meant that he might not be able to enter these big sects in his life, learn those advanced secret methods and martial arts, this revenge has also become far away, and there is no hope in sight.
At this time, Yan Liqiang couldn't even help but think, if it really didn't work, he would go back to Pingxi County, Ganzhou first, and then slowly find a way to get close to the dog official surnamed Ye, and when he found the opportunity, he would desperately take risks......
"Young man, you don't have to be discouraged, the so-called endless road, you have hit a wall here, maybe there is another place in the world that is waiting for you to come!"
Yan Liqiang took his uncle's words as comfort, and just smiled, "Thank you, uncle, I won't give up until the end!"
The two of them chatted, and Yan Liqiang unconsciously walked a long distance on the mountain road, almost six or seven miles, and had already gone down half of the mountain road.
"Ah......h
"Uncle, what......'s the matter?"
"Young man, I forgot, my key, I forgot to bring my key, I guess it fell in the place where you carried me just now, there is no key, I can't open the door when I go back......" The old man said, a little embarrassed, "Young man, you see...... Can you ...... Help me go back and find ......."
"Uncle, this ...... Go back and pick the lock, and I'll give you a new one......"
The old man sighed, his tone was a little sad, "That lock, I bought it personally when my previous Hun family was alive, my Hun family said that there is a lock and a door, there is a home, and the key to the lock has two, a pair, I have used it for decades, I want to keep a memory, and I am reluctant to damage it......"
It is estimated that nine out of ten people will not go back to help the old man find the key, but after listening to what the old man said, he didn't say anything, but nodded directly, "Okay, I'll put you here first, you wait, I'll go back and find the key for you......"
Yan Liqiang said, saw a big tree on the side of the mountain road, walked to the big tree, carefully put the old man to sit on a stone under the tree, let the old man sit down, after asking the shape and characteristics of the key, he turned around and walked towards the road he had just come down.
It's just that he didn't have to leave the old man for fifty meters, and Yan Liqiang heard the old man behind him suddenly shout, "Snake, snake......"
Yan Liqiang turned around, only to see a poisonous snake nearly two meters long, with a triangular head, and a dark body with white patterns, coming out of the grass not far from the tree.
The old man was so frightened that he thought he couldn't run, so he grabbed some dirt and gravel from his side and threw it at the snake, not wanting it to come closer.
Yan Liqiang was also taken aback, and without thinking about it, he broke the branch of a tree next to him, and then ran towards the old man with the branch.
I don't know if the snake was frightened by the gravel thrown by the old man, or was startled by the movement of Yan Liqiang running over, and when Yan Liqiang had just run a few steps, the snake suddenly turned around and got into the grass on the side of the road again.
Yan Liqiang ran over and peeled off the grass with the branches in his hand, but there was no trace of the snake, because behind the grass, there was a ravine and a deep stream, and the weeds were dense, and a snake could disappear in an instant when it drilled into it.
Yan Liqiang turned his head and found that the old man's face was pale, and he still seemed to have palpitations.
"Uncle, what kind of snake was that just now?"
"That's a black-scaled snake, as soon as it bites someone, it will die immediately!"
"What is the snake on Dragon Tiger Mountain?"
"Many, of course many, this Dragon and Tiger Mountain, the so-called dragon, is talking about snakes, in the past, the most on this mountain were poisonous insects and beasts, but the situation was slightly better after the Dragon and Tiger Sect opened a sect here, and many fierce beasts were driven away or killed by the people of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, but these poisonous snakes, but there are still a lot, if my legs are good, I am not afraid of this snake, but now ......"
Listening to what the old man said, Yan Liqiang looked at the surrounding dense forests and the old man's immobile legs, and finally could only continue to squat down in front of the old man, "Boss, come, I'll carry you up, I'm okay with you, there is a response, leave you here alone, I'm really a little worried, if I leave, the snake comes out again, then my sin will be great......"
"That's really bothering you......"
What Yan Liqiang didn't see was that when he squatted down again, a strange smile appeared on the old man's face.
Yan Liqiang picked up the old man again, then turned around and began to climb the mountain......
If it weren't for Yan Liqiang's practice of the Yi Jin Washing Sutra, at this time, if he carried a big living person back and forth down the mountain to climb the mountain, I am afraid that he would have been tired and paralyzed, but even if Yan Liqiang was not tired and paralyzed, he was sweating profusely, and the collar was soaked with sweat, and the whole person's face was also red.
Yan Liqiang climbed the mountain road for six or seven miles with the old man on his back again, and returned to the place where he saw the old man, and sure enough, in the grass where the old man was sitting just now, he found a key.
handed over the key he found to the old man, and Yan Liqiang continued to carry the old man down the mountain.
This time, just after coming to the foot of Longhu Mountain, a big man with a scar between his eyebrows and a somewhat cold face suddenly jumped out from the side of the road, blocking Yan Liqiang's way......
With a wave of the man's hand, seven or eight more men ran out of the bushes next to him, surrounding Yan Liqiang one by one, staring at Yan Liqiang coldly.
The clothes worn by these people were exactly the same as the two thugs who were with Wu Tao who were killed by Yan Liqiang that night.
Seeing these people suddenly rush out, Yan Liqiang's heart jumped violently, but his face was quite calm, and he was still carried by the old man on his back, "Are you heroes trying to rob the road, this is under the foot of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, and your courage is inevitably too great......
"Boy, don't pretend!" The man with a scar between his eyebrows looked at Yan Liqiang and sneered, "You're very ruthless......"
