Chapter 42: Half a Bowl of Rice

At this time, it was not early, Xiao Dongshan said: "Brother Cheng, I'll go back over there to sleep, and wait for my meal tomorrow morning." Brother Cheng nodded silently. Xiao Dongshan took the two empty bowls in one hand, climbed back to his side, and fell asleep beautifully.

In the morning, the scar-faced woman brought the rice, and she saw that the food was a little different from the past, so she looked at it twice. Seeing this, Xiao Dongshan snatched the rice bowl and ate it, and said in his mouth: "The appetite is so good!" I'm so hungry! I'm so hungry! Feed! Can you send more food again, it's not enough to eat. The scar-faced woman ignored him and left.

Xiao Dongshan waited for her to go away, drew a cross in the middle of the meal, and divided it into four parts. I ate one by myself, climbed to Brother Cheng's side with the rice bowl, Brother Cheng took it at the entrance of the room, Xiao Dongshan turned back and took the water bowl, Brother Cheng took it again, and said, "Thank you, brother." Xiao Dongshan entered the stone room, pointed to the rice bowl and said: "In the future, eat so much for each meal, two meals a day for two people are enough, if the eldest brother is hungry, bear with it." Although the two of us will be a little hungry, we will not be poisoned, and we will wait until Brother Cheng's martial arts recover, and then make plans. Brother Cheng said: "So even Brother Xiao is starving together!" As he spoke, he picked the smallest of the remaining three and ate it. Xiao Dongshan secretly saw it and understood that Brother Cheng was also a pure person.

Xiao Dongshan took a closer look at the food that the scar-faced woman sent to Brother Cheng, and couldn't see any clues, he picked up the basin and was about to fall down the cliff, thought about it, picked up Brother Cheng's original chopsticks, and slowly drove the food in the rice bowl down the edge of the cliff, leaving a small half left, mixed it with chopsticks, and put it in the shape of eating leftovers.

Brother Cheng saw it and said, "Brother is so thoughtful!" Xiao Dongshan smiled and said: "Don't show your feet, do you have so much left every day, and so much water left?" Brother Cheng said: "Not bad." Xiao Dongshan then poured more than half a basin of water.

Xiao Dongshan thought for a while, and said: "In case of accidents, I will pour it twice a day in the future, and I will return after I have delivered the food and water, and I can't stay here for too long every day, in case someone suddenly comes." Brother Cheng nodded and said, "Okay." Endure until my strength is restored, and we will kill it. Xiao Dongshan said: "We still have to outwit, we have to seize an opportunity." Brother Cheng said with confidence: "Brother Xian is troubled, wait for me to recover, and swagger out." Xiao Dongshan said: "It's not good to fight, we are not familiar with the terrain, and we don't know how to go down the mountain." Brother Cheng said: "The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, so don't worry about it." Seeing that he was so confident, Xiao Dongshan beat a drum in his heart: "Who is this person?" It looks like the martial arts are very high, so conceited! This person is not very old, is he one of the five martial arts young talents in Miss Hong's mouth? I forgot to ask her who the other two were. So he asked, "I haven't asked for the name of the big brother of the tutorial yet." ”

Brother Cheng said with a smile: "I was born miserable, without a father or mother, how can I have a big name, in the eyes of your rich and noble people, I am just a cat and a dog." Xiao Dongshan hurriedly said: "What kind of wealth!" Although I was born into a family of eunuchs, I have never despised the poor family. Brother Cheng said: "People like Gongzi are a minority after all. As he spoke, he bowed his hand in respect.

Xiao Dongshan said curiously: "Brother Cheng is so martial artistic, how did he fall into the way of the old poisonous woman and fall into such a big disaster?" Brother Cheng smiled bitterly: "Because of discord with my brother, I live in seclusion not far from here, that day it snowed heavily, I saw an old woman in the mountains fell in the snow, dying, kindly stepped forward to help each other, without the slightest defense, for this old poisonous woman plotted, was ordered acupuncture, the old poisonous woman hit the acupoint kung fu is so good!" Hey, I'm just an old man, but I didn't expect the bad guy to get old! I was poisoned again and forced to be an apprentice, it's really funny, how could Cheng have agreed if he was forced to do so, and it's been a year and a half since I've been locked up here! I'm a recluse, what's wrong with changing places! It's just the same, big bad! Xiao Dongshan said: "What's bad? Brother Cheng said: "It's just that there is no wine to drink!" Ha ha! Xiao Dongshan also laughed, and Brother Cheng pursed his lips, revealing a greedy look.

Xiao Dongshan looked at the thick robe he took off in the corner of the stone room, and thought, "He caught it when it was snowing, so he has a winter coat!" He asked again: "Brother Cheng just said that he was born miserable, without a father and a mother, where is the brother?" Brother Cheng said: "The son of the adoptive father...... My adoptive father has passed away, and I am a year and a half older than him, and I should have the responsibility to protect him, but he ...... Hey, I can't understand him more and more, so I don't want to say it. ”

Brother Cheng asked Xiao Dongshan why he was here, and Xiao Dongshan said simply and truthfully. Xiao Dongshan asked him again that since he lived in seclusion not far from here, when he knew where this place was, Brother Cheng said: "I live in seclusion not far away, this place is called Lost Soul Peak, not far from Wawu Mountain. ”

In addition to practicing the two internal skills, he had to keep practicing the Liuqi Fist he had just learned, and he had to carefully recall the moves made by the scar-faced woman in Qingcheng that day, thinking about how to crack it with Liuqi Fist, the days were full, not as boring and lonely as before, just waiting for Brother Cheng's skills to recover, the two of them were going to be killed.

A big bowl of food, the two of them shared it, of course it was not enough, Xiao Dongshan shouted at the scar-faced woman twice that it was not enough to eat, and the scar-faced woman did not add food to him, Xiao Dongshan was afraid that she would be suspicious, so he didn't dare to make any more noise, so he had to endure hunger. Fortunately, the water was enough to drink, and the two could barely survive. The two got along and gradually got closer.

After seven or eight days, Brother Cheng really gradually recovered, and he said to Xiao Dongshan: "Brother Xian, I have recovered 20% of my internal strength, according to this calculation, it will take another month, and I can go to the old drug woman to ask for an explanation, Brother Xian and be patient, it is really a starvation for Brother Xian." Xiao Dongshan was overjoyed, looking at his face, the blue color was really lighter.

A few days later, the two were dragged out and whipped again, and on the second day after coming back, Xiao Dongshan's back was still full of blood, he was afraid that the blood stains would stain his shirt, but fortunately, the weather turned hot at this time, so he was naked, and crawled over to deliver food to Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng saw that he climbed the wall and moved the wound, the blood flowed, and he was moved inexplicably, and said: "Brother Xian, your kindness, I will repay you with death!" Xiao Dongshan said: "Big brother, don't talk about life and death, I just want to borrow your strength to find a way to live for myself." Brother Cheng said: "Having said that, I dare not forget it...... Don't coerce others with kindness and righteousness, a virtuous brother is a true husband, and a true gentleman. I have always hated the children of rich and noble families, and today I realized that I had been wrong. Xiao Dongshan said: "Brother Cheng praises falsely! "It's very useful.

In only three days, Xiao Dongshan's whiplash wound healed, and even the scar shell fell off, Brother Cheng was shocked and said: "You crawl around every day to pull the wound, and you get better so quickly, Brother Xian is very human!" Xiao Dongshan grinned and said, "You're not slow!" Come on, come on, give me a slap in the face! "The gesture was about to hit Brother Cheng's back, Brother Cheng dodged away in a hurry, it turned out that Brother Cheng was also moving freely, but he couldn't touch it on his back, and the recovery speed was far better than ordinary people. Brother Cheng said strangely: "Look at your boss, you are not small, you have a scruffy beard, and you are still messing around!" Xiao Dongshan said: "When I cut this black beard, I am not young yet!" Brother Cheng said: "I! Not ashamed. ”

After another five days, on this day, Xiao Dongshan sent over the meal, only to see that Brother Cheng's face was extremely ugly, and hurriedly asked him, Brother Cheng said: "The day before yesterday, the internal force has recovered thirty percent, and today for some reason, the true qi can't be raised, and the internal force has regressed, strange!" Weird! Xiao Dongshan listened, looked at Brother Cheng's face carefully, and sure enough, the blue color had worsened, and he was shocked, and said, "Could it be that he has been recognized?" I'm starting to get poisoned in my food too? After thinking about it, "It's not right, I'm not poisoned myself, and everything is normal with my internal breath." "The two of them couldn't understand it for a while." Could it be that this little is left, and the smell invades the eldest brother's body? Don't stay! I won't stay anymore! Xiao Dongshan said, pouring the rice and water in the basin down the cliff, and this time it was all poured out.

Looking at Brother Cheng's decadent appearance, Xiao Dongshan said with relief: "Brother Cheng is impatient, even if this method doesn't work, let's think of other ways to see if there is a chance to get the antidote." I think most of the leftover food intruded unconsciously when the eldest brother was sleeping, or Brother Cheng is too tired these days, Brother Cheng don't worry, the more urgent this kind of thing is, the more it will not work, let's wait a few more days, maybe just rest for a few days. Brother Cheng muttered: "I am a reclusive person, and it doesn't hurt to live here, I can't help but save my brother and waste my hard work!" Xiao Dongshan said: "Big brother, don't be discouraged. We're still young, and even if we boil it, we can boil the old woman to death first, can't we? Let's think about it slowly, and observe it for a few more days, you don't have luck for now, wait a few days. ”

After a few days, Brother Cheng did not improve, his expression became more and more depressed, and Xiao Dongshan had to persuade him. On this day, Xiao Dongshan crawled over with a rice bowl, and when he arrived at the entrance of the room, he didn't see Brother Cheng here, knowing that something was wrong, he hurriedly jumped in to take a look, only to see Brother Cheng hitting the wall with his head, and muttered: "It's over!" Finished! "It's like madness.
