Chapter 48: The Courage of the Armies

After greeting the eldest sister and everyone from the Quartet, I hurried back home, Xiaoyi was in the kitchen and Aunt Lu was choosing dishes, I hid outside the door and secretly glanced at her, what a tacit understanding she had with me, as soon as she saw my virtue, she already understood, lowered her head and blushed, and hurriedly finished the work in her hand and went back to the room with me......

At one o'clock in the afternoon, an army-green car stopped in front of Ye's house, I changed my clothes and followed Dou Qizhong into the car.

It seems that after driving for an hour, I finally came to a military camp in Hangzhou, I looked at the soldiers who were wearing vests but sweating and training on a large playground, and suddenly the idea of joining the army suddenly ignited in my heart, but I just thought about it, I have too many titles now, I lack skills, my mess has not been dealt with, and it is not much fun to be a soldier in peacetime.

Dou Qizhong took me to an air-raid shelter, came to a closed room, suddenly stopped, shouted a report, and came from the voice of General Hu last night, saying that I was letting me go in alone.

I opened the door and walked into the room, only to see that it was unusually dim, and it took me a while to get used to the light.

There was a large rectangular table, and there were four people sitting on either side, three I had seen and one I had never seen, and the man I had never seen kept his head bowed and never said anything.

The beautiful sister and Confucius Ziyun were sitting in their seats and drawing, and when they saw me coming, they couldn't help but smile, General Hu stood up and let me to the seat, then took out a teapot from the cabinet, poured a glass of water, handed it to me, and said to me: "Daochang Ye, let me introduce to you, this is Lieutenant General Wan Junyong." ”

I stood up and saluted Wan Junyong, but he still didn't look up, just nodded slightly to me that he understood.

When General Wan nodded, I clearly noticed that there was a layer of black mist on his face, and although I couldn't see his face clearly, I could clearly feel that he seemed to be in pain at the moment.

"I don't know if General Wan has been to the place of evil or has he been attacked by evil magic?" I couldn't stand the quiet depression in this dim environment, so I asked first.

Hearing this, General Wan seemed to be surprised at why I knew, and looked up at me suddenly, and I took a step back in fright, for his face was full of cracks, and there were white eyes growing in the cracks!

"Daoist Ye is really different from mortals, there are not a hundred or eighty Taoist priests and monks who want to come to see my illness, but none of them can have the ability of Daoist Ye to know the cause of my illness before he has seen my face! At first glance, I heard that Ye Daochang, who can invite Sanqing Tianzun and can ascend to heaven by dragon, is sixteen years old, and I still don't believe you.

"General Wan, I am Xiaoyu's seventh brother, let's call you Uncle Wan, I'm not sure if I can cure it now, but I will do my best, but now I want to know where you got this disease and when did this symptom appear. ”

"Hey! Not to mention, that year I was ordered to go to Tibet to follow the counterinsurgency, in those years of Tibet, alone to make a fierce scene, I took the troops stationed in Lhasa and fought with some rebels for several years, and then the counterinsurgency was victorious, I withdrew from Tibet and returned to the military region not long after I found that I was not comfortable, at that time I could not eat well and sleep well, as soon as I closed my eyes, I dreamed of human heads, I was born in the army, I have killed countless enemies, even if I was wounded and fell in the pile of dead people for two days and two nights, I was not afraid, but during that time I always let the nightmare wake up, my inner person itself was nervous, I was afraid of frightening her, so I slept in a separate room with her, this separation, I couldn't sleep at all, as soon as you close your eyes, it is a human head. To put it mildly, at that time, I stayed up all night counting people's heads and fell asleep and was woken up, and I woke up and continued to count, the tortured people were not ghosts, and I could doze off at the meeting of the military region, but I just didn't dare to sleep. I reported this situation to my superiors, don't say it, it turns out that I am not the only one who has this disease, and several company commanders who went into Tibet with me have this problem. ”

"Later, I also got used to this disease, just in time to catch up with the Sino-Indian War, I was transferred to participate in the war, fought desperately on the battlefield, in and out of the pile of dead, I was better, I still remember that battle, we fought a big victory under the command of General Zhang Guohua, not to mention how happy I am, I am happy that I am fortunate to participate in the defeat of an enemy for the country, and second, I am happy that my own illness is cured, during that time I ate well, slept soundly, and finally felt that I was still a concubine!"

"The good times didn't last long, three years ago, my body gradually changed, my face was a little itchy, and then there were small cracks, I was afraid of scaring my wife and children, so I sent them to my hometown in Dalian, my daughter grew up in the north since she was a child, so she was also willing to move to the northeast. My girl is playful, but I found that she seems to be able to see that I have this evil disease, four or five years old all day blindly pondering and learning spells to treat me, and then I don't know if she really likes to learn the Tao or wants to treat me, seven or eight years old little girl left home with a schoolbag and went to Wuhan and Jiangxi to learn art, to be honest, I haven't seen them for three years, if it wasn't for last night she called and said that someone wanted to kill her, I may not be lucky to see Ye Daochang now. ”

It turned out that the eighth sister who escaped from my house last night desperately ran to the Jiyang Municipal Government, begging the new mayor Lou Wangyun, who was working overtime late at night, to call the Hangzhou Military Division.

At this time, General Wan had already lived in the air-raid shelter of the military sub-district and was closed, and when he heard that his daughter was in danger, he was furious and wanted to take the team to Jiyang, but General Hu, who was General Wan's confidant and close friend, persuaded him and personally asked Ying to go to Jiyang.

It was also thanks to Lu Youcai that he kept the Zhao brothers to eat and drink in the Ye Mansion, so he bought time for General Wan, who came from Hangzhou.

General Wan said that since two years ago, several company commanders who had fought together in Tibet had died suddenly one after another, and the death was very horrible, not to mention that they were as thin as dried corpses, and their faces were covered with cracks, and the cracks were full of large and small white-eyed kernels!

At this time, General Wan began to panic, so he entrusted General Hu to visit the monks and monks to treat his illness, he didn't want to end up in a desolate and miserable state for half his life.

General Hu's name is Hu Guanxiang, and there is a daughter named Hu Yanbing in his family.

General Wan had an accident, General Hu also asked his daughter to pay more attention to whether there are masters when she was out playing, that day Sister Bingbing heard from somewhere that Wuhan has a Chong'an concept, the host Liu Siyun seems to have real skills, so he invited his cousin Confucius Ziyun to buy a ticket to go to Wuhan together, and met an elegant man in the car, this man said that he was Zhao Taozhu, the owner of Jiyang Yanzhao Industry, Sister Bingbing didn't want to see this man who pretended to be literary but was hypocritical and frivolous, so she only cared about chatting with her cousin, and didn't pay much attention to this fake and serious son-in-law Zhao Taozhu.

Zhao Taozhu saw that the two of them didn't want to see him, so he closed his mouth in amusement. On the way, I heard that Sister Bingbing's father seemed to be a general, and the lively-minded Zhao Taozhu wanted to seize this opportunity to climb a high branch, if he was lucky enough to be a lover with Sister Bingbing, then he could greatly borrow the power of the general to revive the glory of the Zhao family.

Sister Bingbing is so smart? At a glance, she saw through Zhao Taozhu's diligent intentions, and quietly said to Kong Ziyun: "Don't pay attention to this man, he has a bad heart, if he pesters us, let's endure it first, and then clean him up when we return to Hangzhou!"

That day, I beat Zhao Taozhu, who was open-mouthed, Confucius Ziyun didn't help him, but scolded him for being a stinky shit who wanted to eat soft rice, I only saw Confucius Ziyun helping him and being pushed aside, but I didn't want to have these chickens and dogs in it.

On the day I took Xiaoyi to eat dog meat, I happened to meet Zhao Taozhu and Confucius Ziyun, because Zhao Taozhu saw that Sister Bingbing didn't have a good impression of him, so he wanted to beat Sister Bingbing's big cousin's idea, the noodle restaurant was opened by Confucius Yun, she didn't have a serious career, her only hobby was to study food, during that time she was obsessed with noodles in the second dock, and it took a long time to learn, after returning to Zhejiang from Wuhan, she set up a small shop and opened a noodle restaurant to practice.

Confucius Ziyun also annoyed the disgusting Zhao Taozhu, when he was kicked out of the noodle shop that day, Xiaoyi and I were eating dog meat, and it was interesting to see me, she originally wanted to talk to me more, but when she saw that Xiaoyi and I were tired, she went back to the kitchen.

General Wan said that he had hoped again and again in the past two years, and had no intention of treating me again, but General Hu heard about my feat in Chong'an Guan more than 20 days ago, and begged General Wan to try again, but when they sent people to Chong'an Guan to find me, I had already left the view, and they went to the northeast to find me, and heard that I went to Beijing, so they gave up the idea of looking for me, but last night General Hu learned that I was Ye Fulu, and he was ecstatic to return to the Hangzhou Military Division to report to General Wan, General Wan actually didn't have much hope for me as a young man, but as soon as I entered the door, I noticed something abnormal, which those mages couldn't do before, so General Wan decided that I could cure him.

"Ye Fulu, I don't have to pay it back if you owe me, you help us cure Uncle Wan, and we'll settle it off!" Confucius Yun, who was painting, suddenly came up with such a sentence, which made me a little confused.

I hurriedly asked, when do I owe you?

Confucius Ziyun shrugged his shoulders and said to me, "Do you go out to eat for nothing?

Only then did I remember that I was too excited at the noodle restaurant that day, so I pushed Xiaoyi away after eating noodles and forgot to pay the bill.

I patted my head, hey, you mean this? If I cure General Wan, then you can invite me to eat a few bowls of noodles and dog meat, I only got married yesterday and celebrated my birthday, and today I came to Hangzhou to help, it's really not easy!

Confucius Ziyun was surprised: "Ah, are you married? Aren't you a Taoist priest? How old are you? I mentioned you when I was chatting with my sister yesterday, and I want to introduce you to my sister, it seems that you can't be my cousin-in-law!"

Sister Bingbing rewarded Confucius with a braincase, and General Hu also smiled and said to Confucius Ziyun, you girl will talk nonsense, people will get married at the age of sixteen, you are seventeen years old and you don't even have a partner, you know how to eat every day, just like Xiaoyu, greedy cat!

After the joke was over, the atmosphere in the room became relaxed, and I really couldn't see the cause and solution of General Wan's illness, so I said to them, I want you to move outside with me, so I can find a way to ask for foreign help.

My so-called foreign aid is nothing more than foxes and big brothers in white, if you are lucky, it is not impossible to ask the ancestor of the Three Qing Dynasties to come down to the rescue of General Wan.

Seeing my proposal, General Hu looked embarrassed and said to me: "Ye Daochang doesn't know, the reason why our General Wan moved to the air-raid shelter and replaced it with a low-degree light bulb is because he is afraid of light, and this room is not well ventilated, and it is also because he is afraid of cold, and when he sees the wind and light, he will be in unbearable pain, and it will also aggravate the expansion of his face." You said to go outside, I'm afraid you can't do this. ”

I rubbed my temples and had a headache, my back hurt when I sat in a chair, and I also had a little pain in my lower body, similar to the feeling of tingling, and it seemed that I was tired from sex last night and this morning.

Sister Bingbing was always secretly looking at me, and I was uncomfortable, and somehow, I had no clue, and I unconsciously reached out and put it on General Wan's hand, closing my eyes to feel his condition.

I only felt that the eyes of the closed eyes were foggy, and tens of thousands of human heads appeared in a moment, and my other hand knotted the sword finger and used my mind to push away the pile of human heads, and suddenly my eyes fell into darkness, no different from the usual closed eyes, at this time my back began to hurt hotly again, I opened my eyes suddenly, panting and said to General Wan, do you close your eyes and see if there are still human heads?

General Wan closed his eyes suspiciously, Sister Bingbing and Confucius Ziyun stopped their brushes and held their breath to look at General Wan's expression, General Hu also nervously observed General Wan who closed his eyes, one minute, two minutes, General Wan smiled, smiled and snored on the table.

"Hey! General Wan hasn't slept a single peaceful sleep in the past few years, and every time he falls asleep, he wakes up immediately, and this is the first time I've heard him snoring in so many years! In the past, when the war was fought, the enemy's artillery roared on the edge of the trench, and it couldn't wake up General Wan, but today the General Wan in my impression is back again!" General Hu said to me excitedly, his voice was very soft, for fear of waking up the sleeping General Wan.

I said to Confucius Ziyun: "I don't owe you now, when I cure General Wan, don't forget to invite me to eat noodles!"

My voice was loud, echoing in the empty room, but General Wan turned a deaf ear and continued to sleep on his heart.

"Hey, Daoist Ye, you're really god!" General Hu saw that he couldn't wake up General Wan, and he also changed back to his normal volume, which made my ears buzz.

Sister Bingbing was looking at me, and when I looked up at her, she quickly avoided my gaze and pretended to be nothing.

I was a little tired, I didn't sleep much last night, so I meditated cross-legged on the ground and fell asleep, General Hu said that he went to the cooking class to let them prepare a few good dishes, today is really gratifying.

When I woke up, General Wan hadn't woken up yet, I didn't open my eyes, and continued to close my eyes to recuperate.

"Sister, this Ye Fulu is really powerful, so many Taoist monks have not made Uncle Wan better, and he has only been here for a few minutes so that Uncle Wan can sleep. ”

"From that time in Wuhan, I knew that he was very powerful, and I always felt that I would have something to do with him. ”

"Sister, have you taken a fancy to him? It's only autumn now, and there are still a few months before spring, why are you so unreserved, sister?"

"you, let you talk nonsense!"

I opened my eyes, and the two sisters, who had been laughing and laughing, saw that I was awake, and suddenly stopped laughing at the same time, and I felt so embarrassed in my heart, but I could only pretend that I didn't know anything.

"How long has General Wan been asleep?" I asked Sister Bingbing in a hoarse voice.

"It's been a long time, four or five hours. ”

I said, you can wake him up, or he won't be able to sleep at night.

But no matter how Confucius Ziyun pushed General Wan, he couldn't wake up General Wan, at this time General Hu walked in, saw that Confucius Ziyun couldn't wake up General Wan, waved his hand and said: "It's useless, Xiaoyun, General Wan can't wake him up when he falls asleep and thunder, your little strength doesn't work on him at all." ”

I saw that Confucius couldn't wake up General Wan, so I walked to his side and helped him to sit on the chair, carefully observing the cracks on his face, the white eyes in it seemed to be able to see me, slowly squirming, to be honest, it's terrible, I have dealt with a lot of evil things later, but none of them can make me panic.

Confucius also learned from me to observe closely, frightened to hide back, her head just hit my head firmly, I habitually reached out to support her head, afraid that she would fall back, half of her face was in my palm, she seemed to also sense the embarrassment, her face turned red after brushing, I felt inappropriate, and quickly withdrew.

In order to avoid embarrassment, I went out to smoke with General Hu and called home to report my safety by the way, so I left this room.

Before I went out, I glanced at the two sisters, and saw that Confucius Ziyun's face was flushed, rubbing his head and grinning.

I called home to report my safety, and General Hu and I stood on the road of the army compound and strolled and chatted, and he asked me why I was so powerful, and I said I didn't know.

He thought I was perfunctory to him, so he smiled and changed the subject, he said, don't look at your spells so powerful, your fists and feet can't compare to him, these iron-blooded soldiers who have been trained on the battlefield, they are all outstanding elites who choose any one and throw them into the pile.

I had nothing to do, so I said unconvinced: "Why is General Hu so confident?"

General Hu was also very stubborn, and when he saw that I didn't believe it, he began to count his military exploits, such as the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and the Sino-Indian War...... I'm also cheap, so I don't want to die, but I just said: "The hero doesn't mention the courage of the year!"

My words made General Hu furious, only to see him push me into the training ground, take off his military shirt, roll up his sleeves, and say to me: "You kid really doesn't like what you say, you actually look down on you Uncle Hu and me, today I will teach you a good lesson, let you know what it means to be an elite!"

At this time, although it was already evening, there were still soldiers in the training ground who had been punished or practiced their skills hard, and they seemed to have never seen General Hu start a fire, and they all cast sympathetic eyes at me, as if I was a lamb to the slaughter.

"Come on! If you don't dare to fight, it's okay, be soft, admit your mistake with me, forget it, or I will have to teach you a lesson today!" General Hu smiled and gave me the stairs, of course I would not miss this opportunity, but I didn't want to be so spineless, so I secretly organized my language in my heart, and said to him: "Let's do it......" Before I finished speaking, he rushed towards me!

What I clearly want to say is: do it, kill me to see who treats General Wan, not to mention that General Hu is a good man, how can he be as knowledgeable as my hairy child, right?

I couldn't speak faster than General Hu's fist, I saw him use a set of undisciplined fists to me, I habitually raised my hand to resist, but how did he expect him to raise his fist sideways to hit my back, his feet were not idle, and he raised his leg to attack my lower plate, fortunately I jumped to the side to dodge the blow.

"Good boy, this defense and dodge is good!

As soon as my feet landed, he pushed his left hand and swung his fist with his right hand, straight to my chest, I wanted to dodge to the side again, but he raised his leg to block my way, I was in a hurry, jumped upward, and actually floated in mid-air!

"Daochang Ye, you are cheating!" General Hu seemed to have riveted enough strength to prepare to use a trick against me just now, but he didn't want me to actually put on a good show for him to take off, and he was very annoyed in his heart, and kept complaining that I didn't follow the rules, saying that I was cheating.

In the end, the result was considered a tie, and on the way back to the air-raid shelter, General Hu kept a gloomy face, and he ignored my words that I had nothing to say.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you? Did Ye Fulu bully you?" Confucius Ziyun's heartless guess caused General Hu to snort coldly.

Knowing father Mo Ruonu, seeing General Hu's stubborn donkey, Sister Bingbing turned her head and asked me angrily, Ye Fulu, how can you bully my father?

I scratched my head and was about to explain, when General Hu said to the two sisters: "You two girls, I am so useless in your hearts? Who said that I was bullied by Ye Daochang? Just now the two of us did have a discussion, but the fight was indistinguishable!"

General Hu glanced at me as he spoke, and I quickly explained: "Actually, I lost, General Hu was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get off the stage, so he gave me the steps, but if I hadn't cheated, in front of General Hu, I am afraid that I would be defeated within ten moves." ”

"Then why is my uncle unhappy when he comes back?" Confucius asked me.

I said in my heart, I don't know what evil he has committed, but I never dare to say it.

"I'm sorry. General Hu said.

"Dad, what do you regret?" Sister Bingbing asked suspiciously.

"Silly girl, I'm sorry for you! Alas, I'm also sorry for myself. General Hu sighed, I sighed in my heart, I was afraid of something, I guess General Hu had the heart to accept me as a son-in-law.

Sure enough, General Hu said that if I hadn't been married, he would have the heart to draw a red line between me and his daughter.

Before he finished speaking, Sister Bingbing blushed and stopped General Hu from saying any more, and Confucius Ziyun also felt embarrassed, so he grabbed Sister Bingbing and ran out of the door.

As soon as they went out, General Hu changed his face and said to me with a smile: "I know my girl best, she is curious and eager to learn, if she wants to ask one thing clearly, she will definitely grind and break the casserole to ask to the end, but she also has a characteristic, that is, she is thin-skinned, I am afraid that she will nag, I don't want to damage the tricks, I can't do it, I don't use Ye Daochang as a shield, I will definitely not be able to stop her mouth, and I hope Ye Daochang will not take it to heart!"

Hearing General Hu say this, I was relieved and replied no.

"And another reason why I took them away is that I have something important to discuss with the Taoist leader. "General Hu suddenly became serious, and I was amazed by his face-changing skills.

When I asked General Hu what was the matter, he thought about it again and again.

I said to him: "The general doesn't have to scruple, Ye is not talented, and he will definitely keep his mouth shut." ”

"You really don't have a crush on the little girl?"

"What?" I sat up from my chair in shock, why did I get involved with this again?

General Hu was so surprised to see me, and just as he was about to talk to me, General Wan woke up.

I saw General Wan stretching his waist, as if he hadn't slept for a long time, and when he woke up, he was refreshed, and he actually stood in place and played a beautiful set of military body punches.

I, a layman, can see that General Wan's boxing skills are exquisite, and I secretly marvel at his every move and style.

"Okay! The general's punch is the most attractive!" General Wan lost no time in complimenting.

"Guan Xiang, you old boy knows how to slap my ass, and you can use it with a bird! Our fist technique is used to kill the enemy! Oh, after a good night's sleep, your whole body is really comfortable, Ye Daochang, you are really godly! I didn't expect you to have such a great ability at a young age! It seems that God will not stop me in the army!" When General Wan spoke to me, I seemed to feel that the opening on his face was bigger than that in the afternoon, I wonder if it was my delusion.

"General, you're awake, I'll go and order the cooking class to have a hot dish, let's have a good drink tonight!" General Hu walked out of the door, leaving only General Wan and me in the room.

I didn't know how to greet General Wan, and he seemed to be the same, so they were both silent.

When I was silent, I suddenly remembered that when Master used to teach us talismans, he mentioned that there is a forbidden technique in Tibetan Tantra that is very similar to General Wan's symptoms today, but what Master said is that people who have fallen into evil spells will have ulcerated skin, fear of cold and light, and eventually hallucinate and die. However, General Wan's situation was more serious than skin ulcers, and I heard him say that the first few dead were all skinny corpses when they died, and the two were different except for the fact that they were afraid of cold and light.

I asked General Wan if he had been in contact with lamas when he was in Tibet, and if it was really tantric magic, then the source of the disease had been found, and the matter would be solved with the source.

"Yes, there were quite a few lamas of the Dalai Lama rebel group who were captured at that time, and I had contact with them, I think about it, hey, yes, there is one, I forgot what it was called, anyway, the name is quite long and difficult to remember, I personally interrogated him at the time, this guy is very cunning, and his mouth is also hard, and when he was about to be shot, he was still in that dead duck with a hard mouth, and he did not recognize Tibet as the territory of the People's Republic of China. Daoist Ye, do you mean, it was the lama who harmed me?"

"Fuck, I fucking remembered, it must be this bastard!" General Wan seemed to remember something, slapping the table and scolding loudly.

I hurriedly asked General Wan what he remembered, and the more clues I knew at this time, the more sure I was of curing the disease.

"Ye Daochang, come, smoke one. General Wan took out a pack of special cigarettes from his pocket, handed me one, lit one himself, and told me about it.
