Chapter 3 Broken Bridge Encounter
Seeing the big man in front of him, Leng Banxian suddenly had a little impression in his mind, as if he had seen it somewhere?
"Something!" the big man said coldly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I only practice medicine today, I don't look at my face!" Leng Banxian looked at the crowd on the opposite side and said softly!
"You still look at your mother's size - you rotten doctor, you healed the dead, old bastard-"
Dahan couldn't hold back any longer, and overturned Leng Banxian's platform full of herbs, and scolded.
The herbs on that table were scattered far to the side.
"Remember who I am?
Leng Banxian was taken aback by this sudden action, and the other party reminded him that this person was the king butcher who killed pigs and bought meat in Zhenxi, and he couldn't remember it clearly because he didn't come and go often!
Some time ago, his daughter-in-law came to him to get medicine, because her family had money, and she also bought two pills that he had been practicing for many years, and the "Longevity Pill" was used to celebrate his mother's birthday.
"Dead, dead—my mother was poisoned by your poison doctor! You still want my old lady to come—" After speaking, he grabbed Leng Banxian's robe, and the frightened old man's face turned purple and he didn't dare to move. Just involuntary interpretation,
"How could it be? How could it be?
At this moment, the crowd on the street turned their attention to this side again, and they swarmed around! Some people cheered, some people discussed, and they all wondered what day it was?
"Let's go, see the official!" Butcher Wang put down the collar of Leng Banxian and roared fiercely.
"Hey, the king is angry, angry, please listen to me first-" Leng Banxian took a step back and hurriedly offered his hand to accompany him.
"Go to the yamen and say go! Don't be long-winded, go!" The sound was like thunder, and there was no need for Leng Banxian to explain, and then he pushed and dragged and walked to the county yamen together.
However, the way to the county government is still far away, forty or fifty miles, it is almost afternoon, and seeing that it is dark, it will not be able to walk there in a while! Leng Banxian walked to the end of the street under the compulsion of the Wang butcher, and the table of herbs behind him was snatched up by the villagers, and he had no way to consult.
The king butcher was about to call a carriage, when Leng Banxian spoke again,
"Brother is angry, brother is angry, listen to the old man, I'll finish talking!"
"You healed my old lady, what else do you have to say?" the butcher pushed him again!
"The mother was unfortunately ascended to heaven, and the old man was deeply saddened. Even if the old man is at fault, he is willing to bear everything without complaint. However, since ancient times, life has been destined by heaven, the old man is just a barefoot doctor, ordinary people, birth, old age, sickness and death are God's will, and the old man can dominate it?"
"It's all fine before, since I ate your two ghost things, I'm gone in a few days—it's not you who hurt you, who else?"
"The old man's pills are all Chinese herbal formulas, which have been refined for a long time, dissolving phlegm and relieving cough! I usually take them often, and I haven't seen any abnormalities? Many people in this town have taken them, I don't believe you can inquire about them, the Wanchang cabinet on Dongjie and the Wang Chang cabinet in the dyeing workshop have all been taken, and there is no abnormality?"
"Old fellow, don't you want to deny it? Believe it or not, I'll kick you to death——?" Butcher Wang added fuel to the fire!
——
When the two of them were overwhelmed, a group of people came from south to north, an old man on a brown horse, a blue robe, gray trousers, a pair of flat-soled brand new cloth shoes, gray hair, a kind face, about fifty or sixty years old, fat, oily face, fortunately, the horse under the crotch is also strong, carrying the fat without effort;
There were four or five people under the horse, short girdles, black clothes and black trousers, carrying water and fire sticks, majestic and majestic, and slowly walked over.
As soon as the two of them saw that they were the squires of the town, the wang clan, and the old man, they immediately restrained a lot.
Standing on the side of the street, momentarily speechless.
"Why are you two arguing here? I heard it from afar!" The people approached and stopped, and the old man Wan on the horse spoke first.
"Butcher, you don't sell meat, why are you dragging him here?
"Oh, that's the old man! My old lady died the day before yesterday, and he healed her death—I'm going to settle accounts with him!" In front of four or five young young people who were carrying jet-black water and fire sticks, the previously arrogant Wang butcher suddenly became docile.
Leng Banxian took the opportunity to explain:
The old man has been practicing medicine for decades, saving lives and helping countless wounded, and he has never had the intention of harming others, he wants to take me to the county to see the official - sir, fortunately, you are here, you have to say a fair word for me?"
"Oh, go to the county to see the official, why don't you report it to the local government first?"
When the butcher Wang heard this, his face was embarrassed: "This, this, the villain is afraid that Master Wan is busy and doesn't want to disturb!"
"Oh, you don't want to disturb me, you want to disturb the county master?"
"This, this—"
"Okay, you're not young, don't quarrel in this crowded place! I understand the cold old man's behavior, don't be too impulsive! Go, come back to the hall with me, and I'll mediate!"
After speaking, the head of the ten thousand towns grabbed the horse's waist and walked straight forward. The two of them, escorted by a few entourage, reluctantly followed.
——
This time, it wasn't until it was almost dark in the afternoon that Leng Banxian came out of the township chief's court!
A depressed face, depressed. He paid the butcher four taels of silver as humane compensation, and the money was borrowed from the township chief?
When I came out in the morning, I couldn't lift my head anymore. The two long sleeves were crossed behind their backs, and while it was still dark, they hurried in the direction of Daling Mountain. Sighing as he walked, scolding himself for being useless! Usually people call themselves like gods, and they all call themselves half immortals, even if others are clear, how can they not allow themselves?
Soon walked out of Wanlai Town, and came to the edge of the Ling River! At this time, there were few people on the road, and the river seemed to rise a lot in the evening, and the wide river surface became a little turbid, floating with leaves from the upper reaches, and the water flow became rapid. It is not difficult to see that this should be caused by heavy rain upstream!
Leng Banxian only cared about himself and complained all the way, completely ignoring the changes in the river next to him, and he didn't worry about the broken bridge under the mountain, was it still there? Was it washed away by the river? Can he return to his home in the mountain?
He thought about these few taels of silver, he couldn't earn twenty copper plates a day of fortune-telling and medicine, and four taels of silver was equivalent to working in vain for half a year!
The more I think about it, the more angry I become, other people's dead mothers, and I come to take care of the funeral for others?
I thought, this master must be partial, so that he can pay less money and eat good meat in the future!
He hurried all the way, and when he reached the broken bridge, he was awakened by several crows on the big willow tree at the head of the bridge.
He looked up at the front, and the endless, black-pressed and reckless mountain in the distance was Daling Mountain!
At this time, the sky was already dark, and there were dark clouds pressing on the top, and the momentum of the earth was turned upside down. The crows in the nearby trees were unkindly screaming at him, wow, wow, wow, and this bare and desolate wail was often a sign of some kind of bad omen.
But who is Leng Banxian? He has been dealing with this ghostly sound for a long time, and he is accustomed to this kind of night and this evil scene, so he is calm and calm.
However, the next scene made him unable to calm down-
Before I got under the willow tree at the head of the bridge, I saw a man in white standing on the bridge from a distance?!
In this wilderness, in the dark, by the bridge of the river, are they people or ghosts?
He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, opened them wide and looked closely, was it a person, long hair, or a woman?
Leng Banxian was startled, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead!
What do you think this is for?
Did he slow down and rob me? I had just been robbed, penniless, girl, you're late!
But when you think about it, what kind of robbery are you doing in a woman's house? Who robbed whom?
For the sake of being a woman, he magnified his guts. If it's a man, then I really don't want to cross this bridge tonight!
He thought, no matter what you do? robbery, begging, I don't have any money anyway? It has nothing to do with me, what can you do with me as a woman?
So he only looked at the woman twice, and walked straight over.
Suddenly, the woman in white, seeing her approaching, immediately walked from the railing to the middle of the bridge, opened her arms, and smiled—
Leng Banxian was stunned for a moment, and then he saw that it was a young woman, about twenty years old, with a white tunic dress, neatly dressed, red lips and teeth, and a delicate face, like the rich man who was born.
If you look closely at the bag of things next to you, the bread inside it turned out to be a child! It should be under a year old, biting his fingers, opening his eyes wide, and smiling at him—
Leng Banxian was confused again, why are they doing? It's mother and son, right? What are they laughing at? It's also a matter of the morning to recognize the godfather, how can there be a godfather at night?
Besides, just recognize me, I don't want to do it, I like to be alone, why do you recognize so many useless things?
Leng Banxian was blocked by the woman in front, ten meters away, he just wanted to speak, but the girl waved her arms, turned around and danced-
I saw her fly like a bird for a while, a gentle breeze blowing willows, a moment a cloaked hair like a demon appearing, her movements exaggerated, and a moment she was gentle like water, with all kinds of amorous feelings—
Seeing Leng Banxian dizzy, I think I met a crazy woman! But I have never seen such a neatly dressed and beautiful crazy woman?
After dancing for a while, I saw that the woman restrained her movements, gently pulled down her shawl long hair, revealed her delicate face, smiled sweetly at Leng Banxian, and then rubbed her hands and bowed deeply to him-
After that, suddenly, at this moment, a shocking scene happened, I saw the woman look up and get up, without saying a word, turned around and ran to the bridge in two steps, flew over the bridge railing, and jumped down without hesitation-
Soon, there was a sound of "fluttering" under the bridge several meters high-
Everything came so suddenly! I didn't think about it at all, I didn't say a word, I didn't figure out what was going on?
He instinctively ran to the bridge and looked down, the river was still stable, the river was spinning, and it was flowing down sharply for a long time, as if nothing had happened—
Thinking about the deep and wide Great Spirit River, and wanting to devour the small life of an ordinary person, is that not the same as negligibility?
He hurriedly lifted his shirt and sleeves on the bridge, pacing back and forth, he couldn't swim in the water, and he also knew that he was too old to do his best, and besides, the river was wide and urgent, even if he knew how to water, he couldn't find it if he jumped? Seeing a fresh life disappear in front of his eyes, he suddenly felt a sense of guilt in his mind!
was struggling with remorse and couldn't extricate himself, and the baby next to him woke him up with giggling and immature laughter!
He hurriedly bowed down and picked it up, looking at the child's pink little face and small hands, smiling innocently at him-
It's even more imminent, and the heart is like a knife!
At this time, the crow at the head of the bridge suddenly screamed, spread its wings and flew high, Leng Banxian woke up a little and heard a creaking sound from the bridge deck, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and immediately hugged the child, turned around and ran to the other side of the bridge.
As soon as I ran across the bridge, I didn't go far after I landed, and there was a loud bang behind me!
When I looked back, the thick bridge, the wooden deck of the bridge was all upside down, drifting downstream with the river, and disappearing into the night—
Oh my God, it's dangerous!
Leng Banxian's heart was beating wildly, as if he had a nightmare, sweating profusely, hugging the child, panting with old anger.
I thought, this is called life and death, heaven and earth are ruthless!
He was so frightened that he kept raising his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, but the sweat became more and more, and finally even the child's head was sweating?
Suddenly, there was a thunderclap above his head, and he finally woke him up—
He hurriedly put the child into his robe, braved the pouring rain, stepped on the mud in the mountains, and hurried to his house in the mountains in the darkness of the night、、、、、、
