Chapter 20: The Tenderness of the Palm
Many years later, everything is over, Lao Hu and I have already become friends, one day his granddaughter got married, I happened to be in Qianyang to do business, met, so I got an invitation, to drink wine. During the dinner, we talked about the events of the day, and Lao Hu told me that he still remembered Mao Tongzhen's performance at that time by the pool.
Five minutes after we jumped into the pool, Ma Jiao'er Lao Hu followed the large army to the scene.
He saw Mao Tongzhen, Li Tengfei and Wu Linyi as the leaders, standing on the edge of the pool, looking at the quiet water of the pool. Lao Hu stepped forward and asked where the two wanted criminals were? Li Tengfei and Wu Linyi both looked at Mao Tongzhen, and the old cow's nose pointed to the pond, and said hesitantly: "Both of them were seriously injured, and then they all jumped into it, this pool is deep, but it's not big, it's been five minutes, everyone, look at it, after a while, they should float up, and when the time comes, if there is resistance, shoot them all!" ”
When the soldiers who followed him heard this, they couldn't help but hold the steel spear in their hands tightly, carefully aimed at the surface of the pool, and then carefully aimed at it.
For them, under this pool of water, there is really a group of murderers, just two people, and a few demons and monsters, they have turned the sky upside down, the movement is big, different from mortals, if they really resist, isn't it very terrible and cruel?
However, as time passed little by little, the look on Mao Tongzhen's face became more and more ugly. By ten minutes, it was almost dark.
This kind of blackness is a concentrated expression of anger and surprise, and the blood is on the head, if you go to play Bao Qingtian, you don't need makeup.
After another five minutes, Mao Tongzhen looked at the pool that had already fallen into calm, his lips trembled, and he began to mumble unconfidently: "Impossible, this is impossible...... The two of them have obviously been seriously injured, that kid, who was hit by me, can still hold on for so long, what is the reason? Li Tengfei finally knew that this bull-nosed old road next to Lu Dao was fooling people, he couldn't care about the pool water in this winter, it was cold and clear, almost like ice, and he looked up to the sky and howled sadly: "My demon destroyer......"
He burst out almost word by word, and then, a fierce man, plunged into the deep pool.
Ten minutes later, the wet Li Tengfei got up under the aim of a dry soldier's steel gun.
He seemed to be a little depressed, and as soon as he climbed to the edge of the pool, he sat on the muddy floor, wet and shivering, and for a long time, he couldn't even say a word.
No one thought that these two seriously injured guys would disappear silently and without a trace as if they jumped off the Yangtze River Bridge that day. The Yangtze River is magnificent and understandable, but how can this be like this deep pool, which is close at hand? Could it be that this man can still turn into a fish and swim away?
And why did we jump into the deep pool at that time, Mao Tongzhen did not use any means to stop it, but waited by the pool?
Lao Hu also gave me the answer to this question later, one of which is because Mao Tongzhen firmly believes that such a small pool can't turn over much of a wave, either drown or float, and he still has many means to clean up us; The second and most important point is that Mao Tongzhen, who was born at the peak of Mao Mountain, has not been able to understand water since he was a child.
Well, it is because Mao Tong is really impassable that our escape journey, which should have come to an abrupt end, has been extended again.
********
And what happened to me after I fell into the deep pool?
In fact, I don't know very well, Mao Tongzhen's palm, condensing his peak cultivation for more than 60 years, a palm imprinted into my back, suddenly there was a boundless force surge, I insisted for a few seconds, when the cold water in the deep pool entered the body, a spirit, not only did not wake up, but made a coma.
By the time I woke up in a wet hole, he had already recovered some of his spirit under the treatment of fat bugs and demons, and he was holding the bronze ring that his senior brother Tuo Cao Yanjun gave me when he came to Xichuan, and was studying.
I just woke up and felt hot and dry, and I breathed lightly in my mouth, and immediately a handful of clear water moved to my mouth, it was a flower, this little girl brought me water with her hand, and carefully fed me little by little, her eyes were shining, like stars in the sky.
Seeing me wake up, Miscellaneous Trail turned his head to look at me.
This is a small damp cave, and the space is dark, except for the fire baby like a firefly, emitting a flickering light. The light was dim, and under the reflection of the rippling water next to us, I saw Lao Xiao's pale face. He asked me, "Are you okay?" I touched my chest, feeling like a big stove, and like a broken car about to fall apart, I couldn't help grinning and laughing miserably, saying that your uncle is quite strong!
Miscellaneous hair Xiaodao nodded, said yes, the old cow's nose practiced is a congenital child's skill, for more than 60 years, Yuanyang has not been lost, the mother's womb has a scorching innate vitality, this fire can burn internal force, can also burn cultivation, very vicious, but also very powerful, Jianghu people send bandits, "fire real people". He is not a bad person, but he is paranoid and unkind, and among the ten elders of the Maoshan Sect, the personnel are the worst. This time, I came to use Yang Zhixiu as a gunman.
I coughed, feeling hot in my chest and lungs, and I remembered the injury of the miscellaneous hairy trail, so I asked him how he was.
He smiled and showed me the wound behind him, which had scabbed over, and the hideous wound on his left hand had barely healed. After reading this, he comforted me with a good voice, saying that all the injuries were traumatic, and it didn't hurt to have a little fat and a little demon. It's just you, you are under the scorching sun of Mao Tongzhen, he practiced this skill, during the day with sulfur, cinnabar and mercury balls as a guide, and at night with the extreme yin of the red practice of the dead soul as a companion, a person lives in the backyard of the Maoshan Sect, protecting the mountain for decades, this full blow, your blood has not been ignited, it can be regarded as a deep opportunity, and the cultivation is quite high.
I tried to breathe again, but I felt sluggish, I should have been injured by Mao Tongzhen's palm, no wonder my whole body was hot, like a high fever.
I looked around and asked where this was, was it safe?
The miscellaneous trail told me that this is a dark river cave connected to the pool of water, and it is several miles away from the pool of water, and the pursuers have no diving equipment, nor are there any relevant water masters, so it is safe for the time being, but it is not certain, Mao Tongzhen is a person who loves more seriously, and we still have to run away if we want to see the corpse when we die, and we want to see people when we live.
He handed me the bronze ring on his right hand, and said that the senior brother was really a clever plan, and he actually guessed that we would have a catastrophe. This bronze ring, with the name engraved on it called the "Ring of Retreat", can not only hide the curse of the vampire on your forehead, but also can blur our connection with this world, making it impossible for people to calculate our whereabouts at all. However, the usage of this thing is mysterious, and the senior brother left a little mystery before, and I just unraveled it from the prompting of this rune. At this point, we don't have to worry about ourselves being counted to death.
When he said this, I remembered this play, which I had always hung on the keychain as an ornament, and I never thought that it would be so useful.
What's even more amazing is that Wu Zhu, the day that Brother Long gave me when he was leaving, actually helped us escape from the strangulation of the pursuers twice, and it will become the most important reason for us in the process of escaping in the future.
The tiger cat shook its wings beside it, although there was a day Wu Zhu, but the space inside was still very humid, it didn't like it very much, a little trembling, the little demon took out a dry towel from the waterproof backpack, and was drying it.
The adult shook his fat body, and then arranged the next thing for us, saying that he would eat something first, and then go all the way down this dark river, there should be a passage; After we get out, we should try to stay away from here, and then find a place, and the cat will get up to recuperate first, and then talk about it after this limelight has passed. Yunnan is not to go again, since the whereabouts have been exposed, if you go again, you will be guarded.
We all nodded yes, and Duoduo got some fish caught in the river, thumb-sized, skinned and boned, and washed.
This fish was caught when we were traveling in the dark river just now, and the little demon said that we ran away like this, and the physical exertion was serious, and if we didn't eat, maybe our bodies would collapse. So the two little guys swam in the middle of the seriously injured me and the miscellaneous hairy trail, and at the same time used the characteristics of Tianwu Zhu to catch fish. This fish is a small fish like a loach, with a hard skull, transparent, and its eyes have degenerated into a black spot, and it looks ugly, but when the flowers are handed to my mouth, I chew them carefully, although they are raw, but they feel tender and sweet, except for a little fishy smell, it is a good delicacy.
Before that, because of the eating habits I had cultivated since childhood, I refused to try any raw meat, not even the Japanese sashimi that was blown into the sky, but to this day, I still can't forget the small fish we ate in that small river cave.
There is no salt, and there is no seasoning, the only thing that is there is the warmth between friends and partners, that kind of life and death that will not give up - in order to prevent us from eating well, Duoduo is handled with extreme care, and there is hardly a single thorn in the fish.
There are no thorns, this is the love that Duoduo wants to show us.
We stayed in the cave of the dark river for about an hour, and then moved my body, I felt that I was still dizzy, my body was weak, the little demon and Duoduo came to help me up, but the miscellaneous hair trail was noisy, pointing at my nose and scolding, saying look, the same seriously injured, you are hugging left and right, leaving me alone, so not lonely?
Seeing that he said miserably, the fat hen couldn't help but comfort the little brother, fluttered her wings, and sat on top of the head of the miscellaneous hairy path, and the fat worm also stretched out half of his head from his chest in order to show his existence, and chirped twice,
The big guys all spoke, and the fire baby, who had been acting as a light bulb, also opened his teeth and claws, and came to comfort the miscellaneous hairy trail. This arsonist, Miscellaneous Xiaodao was a little stunned, and hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that he understood it and did not come. Huowa was a little aggrieved, the tentacles above her head couldn't help shaking, and the miscellaneous hairy trail slowly walked to the edge of the dark river, sighing, and said that this is fate......
A melancholy sigh made all of us laugh.
The tenderness of the palm of the hand is so moving.
