Chapter 2 The Strange Lake, the Strange Flag, and the Heavy Bell 1
Tao Xiaozhi's face was distorted by pain, and his whole body twitched.
The old woman ripped open Tao Xiaozhi's shirt and grabbed the fangs hanging around her neck, which had turned from snow-white to crimson.
"It has tormented you all these twelve years," said the old woman, hoarsely, "and I must put an end to it!"
So saying, the old woman was going to tear the fangs off.
"Don't," Tao Xiaozhi grabbed the old woman's hand and said, "This is what my grandfather left me!"
The old woman looked at Tao Xiaozhi's pale face and couldn't help but burst into tears.
"I know. "But it's an evil thing, it's going to ruin you!"
"Don't be afraid, the pain will be very short-lived," Tao Xiaozhi gasped, "I think, grandpa left him for me with ulterior motives." ”
The old woman looked at a drop of sweat the size of a bean across Tao Xiaozhi's face, and sobbed:
"All it leaves you with is endless pain!"
"Maybe pain is a kind of tempering," Tao Xiaozhiqiang squeezed out a smile and said, "It at least reminds me: I'm not dead yet." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he fainted.
In front of the door, a small black dog was basking in the soft sun, looking lazy. It kicked the rocks on the ground, bored, and tried to catch the butterflies flying around its head.
"Little Black" Tao Xiaozhi said, "Come here!"
Xiao Hei shook his chubby body, wagged his tail, threw himself into Tao Xiaozhi's arms, and licked his face.
"Don't be like this," Tao Xiaozhi said with a smile, "It's embarrassing to let Xiaohua see it." ”
"Go find your old lover Xiaohua. Tao Xiaozhi pushed it away.
Little Black grunted, shook his chubby belly, and ran to catch butterflies again.
Tao Xiaozhi stroked his snow-white fangs and fell into deep thought.
"Your grandfather went to a faraway place. Tao Xiaozhi's grandmother's words echoed in his mind.
"A mysterious and scary place. ”
"Yes, he's going to slaughter beasts, that's a terrible thought. ”
"But he's not like he's been a crazy maniac, he's definitely not. ”
"He's the most manly man in the world. ”
"I won't tell you because you can't go there at all. It's not a place you can go if you want to, and I don't want you to take that risk. ”
"But, remember: one day I will tell you the truth. ”
Tao Xiaozhi looked at the fang, thinking about how it turned red.
Did it leave me with only pain? Grandpa said that it would bless me in times of crisis, but it has only bullied me for 12 years. Does it really want to tell me anything
Suddenly, a small stone fell on Tao Xiaozhi's head, and he looked around, but there was no one. Strange, he touched his head, looking confused. When he used his brain to think again, another small stone fell on his head.
Xiao Hei screamed.
"Go!" Tao Xiaozhi said, "Go and find out that 'murderer'!"
Blackie jumped into a bush thick enough to hide a cow, and then two men, two grinning men, jumped out.
A dark-skinned, muscular chimpanzee-like man in a short shirt. The other was shorter, fair-skinned, with short hair, large, bright eyes, and a head that was surprisingly large, like a wine jar.
The two of them tilted their heads and laughed, as if they were catching a pie falling from the sky with their mouths.
Tao Xiaozhi sighed and said:
"Can you two do something serious?"
"No!" the two replied in unison.
"Amu, big head, you are really the best match in the world!" Tao Xiaozhi said with a smile.
The man who resembles a chimpanzee is called Amu, and needless to say, the other person's appearance tells you his name.
"Of course," Amu said, "as the saying goes, brothers are of the same heart"
"It's profitable!" replied the big head.
"Brothers," Amu continued.
"Breathless!" continued.
"Brother opens his mouth"
"Roast goose to the mouth!"
"Brother Open Hand"
"Beauty in hand!"
"Brother Strikes"
"No one is not well-behaved!"
"Brother Change"
"I'm scared!"
"Brotherly Words"
"Who dares to say it again!"
"Haha!" Tao Xiaozhi laughed breathlessly and said, "I really admire you, it's like a five-body throw and a heart blooms!"
"There's no need to praise us, everyone else says that, and it's embarrassing to hear it. The big head deliberately laughed secretly.
"It's all our fault that we're too suave"
"Yushu Linfeng!"
"Handsome and chic"
"Personable!"
"Okay, got it. Tao Xiaozhi said, "Besides, even if I let you go, Xiao Hei won't let you go." ”
Xiao Hei screamed a few times in agreement.
Amu deliberately teased:
"You are really the best match in the world"
"Brother!" added the big head.
"Of course," Tao Xiaozhi said, "Shiyun: No colorful phoenix wings"
"Woo woo," Xiao Hei added.
After speaking, the three of them looked up to the sky and laughed, and a small dog barked.
Tao Xiaozhi said: "What trouble did you find me again?"
The big head said: "We are all brothers who fart together, so it's not troublesome to say anything." ”
Amu said: "We are both people who are not self-interested and specialize in benefiting others. ”
Tao Xiaozhi reluctantly changed his words: "Two brothers, I don't know what to learn from this visit?"
"Let's go to the city. Amu said happily, looking impatient.
Tao Xiaozhi said: "What are you doing in the city?
"Go and see the annual martial arts feast, Martial Artist Dao. ”
The soft sunlight sprinkled on the mountain stream, like moonlight, making people less irritable and more comfortable. The foothills are lush with wild grasses, brilliant wildflowers, and pleasant aromas.
A girl in purple, carrying a large bamboo basket on her back, picked wild flowers and plants, and hummed softly. She didn't look very pretty, her cheeks were round, her upper lip was slightly upturned, as if she was fighting with her lover, and there was a small black mole at the corner of her mouth. However, she is definitely a lovely girl, not only because of her mischievous lips, but also because of her mischievous personality.
"The stars in the sky / Please throw your eyebrows over / Tell me who you are lovesick for / The fish in the water / Please bubble up / Tell me who you are grieving for / Distant lover / Please bring a letter back / Tell me who you are wandering for"
She filled the basket with wildflowers, played with a bouquet of colorful wildflowers, sniffed it on her nose, and jumped to pick other flowers and plants.
In the depths of the dense forest, there was a melodious flute sound, like the cry of a cuckoo, cheerful and sharp. It can be seen that the piper is not in a very bad mood.
Soon a buffalo appeared, on which a man in a short shirt and shorts was mounted, with two barefoot feet resting on the horns, and the flute was blowing softly, self-absorbed. He has a thin face, high cheekbones and a high nose, and a pair of eyes that are very energetic, like two clear lakes. What is more conspicuous is that his left wrist is also wrapped with a strip of red cloth, which is decorated.
He rode his ox toward the girl, his brow rising and falling in tune.
The girl in purple said to him:
"Brother Difeng really has Yaxing, and your brother Niu came to the mountains for a ride. ”
"Chu Ru, it's not that you don't know," Xiao Difeng put down the flute, jumped down, patted the cow's neck and said, "My buddy will lose his temper and have a high fever if he doesn't cool down on the mountain for a day, and I can't take it." ”
Qin Churu said: "Then you pluck out its hair and let it cool down, even its parents can't recognize it." ”
"That can't be helped!" Xiao Difeng laughed, "It's so stingy, it's just a dime!"
Qin Churu laughed out loud, and his laughter was as crisp as a silver bell.
Xiao Difeng said: "Do you want to help Pharmacist Qin collect medicine again?"
Qin Churu said: "My father is recently researching a medicine pill for the treatment of headaches, and he needs a large number of various herbs. He hadn't been out of the lab for forty-nine days. ”
"It would be great if we could develop a medicine pill that doesn't require eating. Xiao Difeng smiled, "Then I don't have to suffer all day long." ”
Qin Churu said: "Only the dead will not suffer from their stomachs." ”
"Yes. Xiao Di said, "Hey, Chu Ru, I found a very magical and beautiful place." ”
"Really?
"Martial Artist Dao?" Tao Xiaozhi said, "Isn't it only held next month?"
Datou said: "It is said that there is a minister of the imperial court, a guy named Duan Ming, who wants to come to observe the way of martial arts, and the organizers will advance the way of martial arts by a month. ”
Amu said: "I heard that he donated one million to sponsor this year's Warrior Dao, in order to pick some good seedlings and go to the frontier to fight." ”
Datou said: "So this year's martial arts Dao must be good-looking." ”
"Oh," Tao Xiaozhi said, "then I have to go this time." ”
Tao Xiaozhi continued: "What about the iron bucket? he won't not go, right?"
Amu said: "That old man, Master Huang, is strict with him, let him practice martial arts behind closed doors, and don't allow him to go out to play." ”
Datou said: "In the past few years, his kung fu has not grown, his waist is swelling every day, and his weight remains high." ”
Amu said: "It seems that he has to find a big stupid elephant to be his wife." ”
The three of them laughed again.
"Which chimpanzee is speaking ill of me?" a heavy tenor voice said.
The figure is shaped like a giant spinning top, and its head is like a giant loaf of bread, which is garnished with two sesame seeds, a peanut, and two sausages.
Because of his huge size, he walked and the ground "rumbled" and shook.
Amu said: "How dare I say bad things about you, we are just discussing how elephants cross the single-plank bridge." ”
The bucket said, "It's very simple, swim through the river." ”
Amu said: "Why?"
Iron bucket said: "Will crush the bridge"
Before they could finish speaking, the three of them laughed bitterly, and the face of the iron bucket was red and blue.
The big head said, "How did you escape from the old man's clutches?"
"For a person like me with a well-developed mind and limbs, as long as he uses a little cleverness, the river will flow backwards. ”
Tao Xiaozhi said: "I'm afraid that the old man slipped out while he was drunk, right?"
The iron bucket lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, I let you cover it again." ”
The big head said: "That old man can't wake up for at least three days." ”
Amu said: "If he knows, he will punish you for jumping up and down on Guta Mountain with a sandbag on your back, it will be quite uncomfortable." ”
The iron bucket said: "It's okay, just lose weight." Even if I don't be allowed to eat, I'm going to see the martial arts. ”
So, the four of them rode out on horseback and set out for a town a hundred miles away.
"Do you remember that 'Thousand Gibbon Monkey' Zhao Wanneng?" Amu said, "His 'Hundred Shadow Monkey Fist' is really dazzling and dizzying. ”
"What kind of thing is that? "Iron Bucket Road, "'Thunderbolt God' Lei Gang's set of tiger fists is shocking and crying ghosts!"
"Xu Jie's 'Ten Thousand Horses Together' is amazing"
