Chapter 116: Barren Mountain Squid (I)
I got up suddenly, but the little girl didn't give me a chance, and took my ear with one hand, and dragged her into the house, and I followed her into the house in pain.
I originally wanted to scold two sentences and pull down after this bad breath, Lao Dao'er, a master who is about to amputate, is still lying there, and has no intention of entanglement with her. But when I entered the house, I seemed to be crazy, my eyes were red, and I was rummaging through the boxes and cabinets in the house, as if I was going to eat people.
The girl was obviously angry, rolled up her sleeves, crossed her hands on her waist, and shouted: "Okay, you two are not small, you two are not small, and you actually broke into Qilin Slope to make trouble." ”
After speaking, he jumped up, and he was about to slap Lao Dao'er's mouth, I couldn't see it, but Lao Dao'er was also a half-disabled person. But as soon as she was about to get close to Lao Dao'er, she was frightened back by Lao Dao'er's roar.
I was also a little wrong, as if I was enchanted, my distorted face, constantly changing expressions, screaming, and rushing towards the girl. I couldn't care so much in my hurry, I just wanted to stop Lao Dao'er's crazy move, my leg injury was not healed, and the madness came again.
I hurriedly turned sideways in front of the girl, who was also frightened enough by Lao Dao'er's action, grabbed me by the back of the neck, and screamed.
Time freezes in this moment, a wounded madman, a babbling girl, and a volley of stones.
Lao Dao'er's big neck was hit by the stone flying in the air, and he twitched twice on the ground, and then he stopped moving. I don't know why, hurriedly stepped forward to check, at this time a few people came in from outside the door, walking in a hurry, led by a kind-looking old man, holding a smoking gun, anxious on the old way.
"This little friend is Xiaoyaozi's high apprentice?" The old man with the cigarette gun looked me up and down.
"My name is Lin Kun."
"Hurry up and save people!" The old man was stunned for a moment, and then ordered a few people around him to carry Lao Dao'er to the kang.
When the little girl saw the old man calling out to her father, she pointed at me with one hand and complained to the old man: "How could these two people come to Qilin Slope, looking at the look, it is more terrifying than a walking corpse." ”
"Don't be rude!" The old man scolded.
The girl pursed her lips and looked at the old man aggrievedly, the old man walked to the side of the kang in a few steps, did not check the wound first, but pinched the old Dao'er's index finger, frowned, turned to me and said: "I don't know what poison this person has in, but the poison gas attacks the heart, and this finger does not return blood." ”
I pursed my lips and said to the old man, "Think of a way." ”
I felt lonely for a while, and the wind and waves came all the way, and I was planted at the end.
The old man shook his head and sighed.
The little girl came to me at some point and said to the old man, "Father, save the man, and let him live for two more days if he can't be saved!" ”
After hearing this, the old man slowly opened his eyes, lit the cigarette gun, smoked it, and said to me, "Do you really want to save him?" ”
I don't know what this old man meant, didn't he come all the way to let you save people, and hurriedly replied: "Of course I save!" ”
"Well, even if this man is saved, he will be a crazy man, unless he ......," the old man replied slowly, exhaling a cloud of green smoke.
"Unless what?" I listened to the old man's tone, and the old man seemed to be saved, so he hurriedly asked.
"Unless you find the seven-grade ginseng, there is only one six-grade snow ginseng in the entire Evergrande Shouzhuang, which is not enough to cure the poison." The old man said slowly.
After I heard this, my heart was half cold, "You guys of Changbai Mountain's ground-sitting cannons don't have any fucking ginseng with seven-grade leaves, where do you tell me to get it?" ”
"When the old man was young, he was fortunate to see a pair of seven-grade leaf ginseng in Tiefeng Forest, but unfortunately he only dug one, if this person should not die, maybe ......"
I was overjoyed when I heard this, I didn't care if I could dig it up or not, if there was hope, I hurriedly said to the old man: "It's so decided, tomorrow I will go to Tiefeng Forest to find that seven-grade leaf ginseng!" ”
The old man shook his head after hearing this, and said to me: "It's rare to be so brave and loyal at such a young age, let Shui Xiaowu go with you tomorrow." ”
After listening to this, I thanked again and again, and before the old man left, he left me a red pill, called Yang Whip Pill, saying that it would allow Lao Dao'er to last a few more days.
The people in the house dispersed one after another, and someone brought us food, but I was not in the mood to eat, and I didn't know how long I hadn't eaten, and then I was all thin and out of shape. If it hadn't been for saving me, it wouldn't have been like this.
At this time, a steady footstep broke the short calm, I looked at the old man, if I guessed correctly, this person may be the person we are looking for, I slowly stood up, and said to the old man: "Thank you so much, dare to ask you who you are......"
The old man smiled knowingly and sat on the wooden bench: "Hahaha, how is your master now?" ”
I felt like I had been pricked by a needle in my heart again, and I lowered my head and said to him in a deep voice: "Dead! ”
"What?" The old man sighed in surprise, but said no more.
At this time, the little girl ran in, holding two roasted sweet potatoes in her hands, handed one to the old man, and smiled at the head of the skin, shook her head again, and signaled not to. The girl handed me another one, and I took it awkwardly, but I was embarrassed to eat it.
"I am Xiaoyaozi's senior brother, my name is Ma Di, and I entered the division with Pan Xiao back then."
"Pan Xiao?"
"What? Don't you know that Pan Xiao is Xiaoyaozi? ”
"Forehead ......" To be honest, I never thought that Pan Xiao would be Xiaoyaozi, who else was, and I couldn't imagine that Xiaoyaozi, who was a fairy wind bone, turned out to be the young owner of Evergrande Shouzhuang's rudder.
"The master never told me about the past, so I ......"
"It's not your fault, Pan Xiao changed his name after leaving the division and called Xiaoyaozi, there are few people in the world who know the name Pan Xiao."
According to Ma Di, the passing chivalrous man took a righteous action to save the fate of Evergrande Shouzhuang, and Pan Xiao admired the chivalrous man very much, so he wanted to learn from the teacher. However, coincidentally, this chivalrous guest actually lives in this Qilin Slope, and this Qilin Slope is officially where the helm of Evergrande Shouzhuang is located. And this Madi is the son of the chief helmsman.
"Then how did you learn the name of Xiaoyaozi?"
"Xiaoyaozi remembered the friendship of the same family, and there were correspondence in his early years, and I, the people of Evergrande Shouzhuang, also knew his name. However, he insisted on refusing to call Pan Xiao's name again, probably because he wanted to make a break with his former self. ”
That night, Ma Di instructed me to bring a hand needle, a red thread, and somewhere to find a human rib, saying that human ribs must be used to dig out the peerless and rare seven-grade leaf ginseng.
will be forgotten, and the darkness before dawn will linger.
Wake up from a dream, dawn.
The autumn color is thick, but the Qilin Slope is covered in silver, stepping on the snow, the frost hits the heart, I don't know if tomorrow's cold sun will patronize the face of the old Dao'er.
Looking at the pine waves and blue shadows in the distance, the sky is as usual, the clouds are light and the wind is light.
Shui Xiaowuyi came early, I only slept for half a night, and after waking up, my whole body was sore, and I packed up my belongings and was about to set off.
The little girl from last night ran over, smiled sweetly at me, and said to Shui Xiaowu: "Fifth uncle, take me, I haven't seen what that seven-grade ginseng looks like." ”
When she smiled, my face was feverish, and I didn't dare to pout my lips again, so I said helplessly: "Smoke the ice monkey, the deep mountains and old forests, maybe there is something, this is worth it!" ”
She pouted, pulled out a pistol from her waist, and made an aiming posture, I was stunned, this girl is too wild, she uses a pistol as a toy, and she muttered in her heart, hurry up and smoke the ice monkey.
"Fifth uncle, if your three-legged cat kung fu really encounters a tiger, what can you beat?" She smiled smugly.
When Shui Xiaowu was said by him, his old face turned red, and he muttered:
"You give me that play, and I'm not afraid of a tiger or something."
She laughed out loud and said to Shui Xiaowu, "For you?" Will you? ”
"Me!" Shui Xiaowu had no choice but to take her with her, and told her to be allowed by Ma Di.
Along the way, the three of them walked and chatted, and then they learned that the girl grew up in Qilin Slope and the four seasons were like winter, so she was named Ma Ningshuang.
Passing through a dense foggy mountain pass, a large primeval forest is in front of you, further spring flowers bloom, and the snow is flying in a step back. This scene of ice and fire is really the first time I have seen it, and it is worthy of being called Changbai Mountain.
Walking in the forest, there was only a palm-sized sky, and I covered my head and turned around, but Shui Xiaowu was unhurried in front, looking left and right all the way.
Digging ginseng is also called putting the mountain, paying attention to a lot, to worship the mountain god, drink realgar, but the water is bold and bold, there are not so many taboos, he firmly believes that the mountain god can not take him to the ground.
The three of them stopped and stopped, and Shui Xiaowu said that he grew up in Changbai Mountain since he was a child, and his grandfather was the leader of the mountain, but now this industry is almost extinct. In today's Changbai Mountain, except for a few old medicine farmers who can dig ginseng, there are not many young people who have mastered this craft, let alone be the leader.
Once, Shui Xiaowu's father took him and his grandfather up the mountain to hunt, provoked a litter of wild boars, and rampaged through the bushes, like a tank, and three hounds died under the two-foot-long fangs of the wild boars.
Grandpa knocked down one with a spear, and a group rushed over again, and was finally trampled to death by the hooves of wild boars. His father took him to climb the tree and escaped by luck, and was later rescued by Ma Di, who went up the mountain to dig ginseng, and stayed in Evergrande Shouzhuang. He was in awe and resentful of the mountains.
Chatting and chatting, he talked about Evergrande Shouzhuang, he lamented, said that after the liberation, the customs changed, cremation was popular, and the thousand-year-old trade of Evergrande Shouzhuang has basically ended, and the reason why it can still exist today is completely relying on the invisible underground network in the reluctant operation, to put it bluntly, it is to secretly implement burial. In these years, there are still many superstitious people, especially the rich people, who hope that they can enjoy glory and wealth after death, and naturally do not want to turn into dust after death, so the underground burial market has grown and developed again.
But this way of operation is not a long-term way, especially Evergrande Shouzhuang is a group business entity, the bigger the plate, the higher the cost, and there has been a trend of differentiation within them. Yesterday, the helmsmen of the rudder branches in Zhuangzhong gathered in Qilinpo, but the helmsmen of the Guangdong rudder said that they would abandon their old business and conform to the trend of reform.
But how can the business handed down by the ancestors be lost, and the helmsmen of the rudders in various places were anxious and drew his dragon tendons.
This dragon tendon is a kind of punishment in Evergrande Shouzhuang. The trade of the dead is not seen in the light, and if you step in, you have to do this business for the rest of your life, and if you want to change the route halfway, you have to pass the great punishment of pulling dragon tendons, pulling dragon skin, pulling dragon teeth, and sharpening dragon bones.
Pumping dragon tendons is to prick the fingers with a needle, ten fingers to the heart, if there is no backbone, it will be soft at that time. Picking the dragon skin is to use an iron whip to row it on the body, and few can pass this level, and if the iron whip is pulled down, there will only be half a life left if you don't die.
Extracting dragon teeth, as the name suggests, is to break off the two front teeth, which is equivalent to branding an iron seal, and has a long memory.
As for sharpening the keel, few people can make it to that level, grunting back and forth with a rolling pin, which really hurts to the bone marrow.
After this set, people are almost breathless. Yesterday, the helmsman in Guangdong called his father and mother as soon as he inserted two needles.
I looked at him dumbfounded, the rules are really fucking much. Leaning on a towering ancient tree, sitting on the ground on the pine, this is a symbol of the immortality of the forest, like veins, beating, but endless.
I grinned and asked Shui Xiaowu, "When will I be able to go to Tiefeng Forest?" ”
"Soon, we'll be there before dark!" Shui Xiaowu filled his mouth with dry food and said to me.
At this time, it was already afternoon, and the light in the forest was even darker, and I suddenly turned around, and Ma Ningshuang, the little girl, might not know where to run again. chaptere
