Chapter Thirty-Six: The Heights Are Unbearable
I only heard the sound of the stone door opening from time to time in the distance, and after a while, with a bang, the stone door opened, and the scar-faced woman came in, put a bowl of water, a bowl of rice, and a pair of chopsticks on the ground, turned around and took the door and left. "Hey! Feed! What do you mean, you want to keep me locked up! Xiao Dongshan shouted at her, but she ignored it.
Xiao Dongshan was extremely thirsty, drank all the water in a few gulps, only to feel that his stomach was swollen, and said secretly: "I don't know how many days I have slept, my stomach is empty, don't be greedy, don't die." So I only picked a few bites and ate them. Look at the bowl again, it is better to say that it is a bowl than a basin, and I don't know whether it is for dogs or pigs, it is much larger than the usual rice bowl, and after thinking about it, I immediately understood: "This is not two meals a day, and this basin does not know whether to deal with me for one day or two or three days!" "Fortunately, even though it's just some greens, it tastes good.
Half full, Xiao Dongshan endured it and didn't eat it. Leaning against the stone wall, he thought, "What if I say yes to the old woman?" At this time, I must have taken a fragrant soup bath, maybe there were really two beautiful women to serve, and then I ate a large table of delicious food, slept beautifully, and then got up and practiced some wonderful martial arts with the old woman...... In the end, he was exposed, thrown off the mountain, and fell to pieces! I'm not afraid of death, it's easy to die, it's hard to live, I just have to do difficult things......" At this time, Xiao Dongshan's inner perseverance has been a hundred times that of ordinary people. His perseverance comes not only from setbacks, but also from the love of his mentors.
Thinking about it, tiredness came up, and he fell asleep.
When I woke up again, the sky was already numb, a chill was through, and there was a deathly silence all around, only the slightest vibration could be felt occasionally when I fell to the ground, and I don't know where it came from, maybe it was just the sound of the wind. He got up and walked, feeling half of his strength restored, and the effect of the drug had been lost.
He touched his waist, the money bag was still there, he took it off and put it on the ground, touched his chest, the burden on his back was still there, took off the burden, touched it, the objects in the bag were all there, he was very relieved, and said secretly: "Master's "Yi Jian Fang" is still there!" ”
At this time, the wrist was faintly painful, and the outer thigh of the right leg was also like a needle prick, Xiao Dongshan secretly complained, and took out a big pill from the burden and swallowed it.
It was already the middle of the night, and there was a faint moonlight outside, and when I poked my head out, I could see one or two stars. Xiao Dongshan only felt hungry, and by the moonlight, he picked up the rice bowl and ate the rest of the meal.
At this time, the cold became more and more intense, Xiao Dongshan understood the original meaning of "the height is not cold", so he had to hug his arms and squat to the door, it was still cold, there was no way, so he had to sit cross-legged, and his luck resisted, and sure enough, after a while, his whole body was warm, he closed his eyes, and fell asleep. I couldn't sleep for a stick of incense, and I was frozen awake again, so I had to sit cross-legged again, resisting the luck, and after a while, the true qi was running, and the whole body was like a spring breeze, and I slept for a while, and after a while, I was frozen awake again.
After tossing and turning like this several times, it was already dawn. Xiao Dongshan urinated, thought about it, picked up the bowl with water, and threw it down...... There was no sound at all.
"How deep is it underneath? If I jump, will I have another chance to meet immortals or get this secret and practice the world's magic skills? Sky! What's wrong with me, I'm starting to be delusional? Am I going crazy? No, I'm Xiao Dongshan, I have to break this thought. ”
Xiao Dongshan thought about it, picked up the burden and looked at it, in addition to the thin shirt, there were only two medical skills, one thick and one thin, the thick one was the nameless medical book given by Jiang Bo of the Dong nationality, and the thin one was the "Yi Jian Fang" passed on by the master, and then opened the money bag to see, there were gold leaves, broken silver, one or twenty copper coins, the big ingot silver was used up, I touched my waist, and the jade pendant given by Sister Copper Hammer was still there.
was fiddling, and when he heard movement in the distance, Xiao Dongshan hurriedly took it, the money bag was hanging on his waist, and the burden was on his back, he was afraid that he would be conspicuous on the ground and be handed over by the scar-faced woman. Two nearby doors were heard, and after a while, there was another sound, and the door was opened. The scar-faced woman came in, put down two big bowls that were the same as yesterday, picked up the remaining rice bowl, looked around, obviously looking for another bowl filled with water, Xiao Dongshan shouted: "Let me go out, when do you want to lock me up?" That basin, hehe, I threw it down if it didn't look good! Scarface ignored him, ignored the bowl, and closed the door.
Xiao Dongshan looked at today's meal, it was still hot, and what was even more rare was that there was still a fish. He picked it up with chopsticks and saw that it was a fish he had never seen before, with a black skin and a square loach tail, which looked somewhat similar to the black catfish from a distance, and had four legs up close, and tasted a small bite, and the taste was extremely delicious. Xiao Dongshan ate half a bowl of rice and half a fish, and he was already full. Pondering: "It seems that this meal is delivered once a day, and the two meals are full, which is not bad, but it is colder when I eat it at night!" Haha, meals that don't cost money, that's enough! That's enough! ”
Then he thought: "The old woman doesn't have the heart to put me to death, it seems that she really likes me, what kind of bone technique, is this magical?" Am I a martial arts wizard? That's true, I practice martial arts much faster than ordinary people...... Ah Ming is really not a good type, to kill him is also to eliminate harm for the people, and he learned martial arts, and became a useful body, but it's a pity, it's not that his wrist is weak, I really agreed! No, no, no, such a vicious old lady is disgusting to look at, this master can't scream, only parents can't choose. Outside of parents, relatives are close, evil is far away, I think I can't get used to Wang Junqing's exaggerated pretentiousness, pretending to be chic and heroic, and refusing to form a grudge with him, so he has a grudge, no matter how bad Wang Junqing is, he is much stronger than this old woman, I still don't want to marry with him, not to mention this poisonous woman! How can I succumb to the predicament of the moment and go against my heart, obey her and still have the face to live in the world? I have a beloved teacher, but I don't know what is going on with his old man...... And that...... The person in the world who wants to be close to and stay away the most, I don't know where he is now, and whether he is doing well...... By the way, and when it comes to the little sister of the Hong family who is looking for me in Qingcheng Mountain, I must have left in advance, and I won't wait for her. ”
"No! I'm going to run, I'm going to run out! ”
In just two days, he completely dispelled this idea. He looked carefully at the door, the upper and lower sides of the cliff outside, and he looked at it over and over again, and finally died. He took advantage of the scar-faced woman's delivery of food, and then examined the thickness of the stone gate: "Unless you catch the scar-faced woman, there is no other way!" Otherwise, it is impossible to break through one layer of doors, and there are still several floors. But her martial arts, where am I the opponent? ”
Soon, he figured out several things: first, this place should still be in Sichuan, and the duration of his previous coma should be between two and five days; Second, according to the sunset to distinguish the direction, the stone room is facing the east, which is the direction of the hometown; Third, this place is extremely high, no small birds can be seen, although the few birds seen are not very accurate, but the size is larger, it must be eagles, eagles, eagles, kites, falcons and the like; Fourth, not fish is eaten every day.
On the sixth day, he sat at the entrance of the room, staring blankly at the cliff, and suddenly burst into tears, not whimpering, but tears flowed down like that, and flowed down to his cheeks, and felt a chill, he woke up, stretched out his hand and wiped his tears, and hurriedly got up and went indoors. He took out a copper coin, pasted it on the stone wall, and slowly carved a faint small "卌" character on the wall, and drew a vertical next to the "卌" character.
In the afternoon, Xiao Dongshan practiced Chaoyang Nine Qi Xuangong for a while, and suddenly heard a sound in the distance, and the sound of opening the door was getting closer and closer, Xiao Dongshan couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart: "Only the scar-faced woman has ever delivered food and drink in the morning, and no one else has come at other times, what is the reason for today?" "Wait until there are two rings at the nearby stone door, and hear a slight footstep, and then there is no more sound.
Xiao Dongshan just didn't open the door, and he was puzzled, could it be that the scar-faced woman stood at the door and didn't open the door? Xiao Dongshan stood and waited for a while, leaned on the ground to listen, but there was still no movement. After waiting for half an hour, Xiao Dongshan fell to the ground again to listen, this time faintly hearing footsteps in the distance, Xiao Dongshan felt strange: "The scar-faced woman seems to have never had footsteps, who is coming this time?" ”
The footsteps seemed to be there, and I couldn't hear it really, I don't know if it was an illusion, and after a while, I only heard the sound of the stone door nearby, and Xiao Dongshan hurriedly stood up. After a few more moments, the stone door opened, and the scar-faced woman came in with a lantern in one hand and something in the other. It turned out that although the room was bright, the corridor was dark, so I wanted to make a lantern.
The scar-faced woman walked to Xiao Dongshan's side, and suddenly used the handle of the lantern to suddenly put two points on him, Xiao Dongshan only felt a pain, and the upper body had no strength, Xiao Dongshan secretly admired her acupoint skills.
