Chapter 269: Rabbit Spirit in the Cave

Wang Huaguo's eyes finally adapted to the bright environment and could see, he hurriedly looked in front of him, but saw an old man standing in front of him.

This old man is dressed as a country fisherman, although he is an old country man, the clothes are still neatly dressed, and his face is red, not ordinary pale yellow, and there are some wrinkles on his face, but it is not deep.

It's just that he also looked at Wang Huaguo with surprised eyes.

The old man lit a large bowl of fish fat oil, which illuminated the whole place, but this was a large round hole, and there was a deep pool in front of it, and there was a dead corpse lying on the edge of the pool. After all, this hole is not big.

Wang Huaguo said: "Uncle, I, I am, ah......"

Seeing that Wang Huaguo was incoherent, the old man opened his mouth to ask questions first, and asked: "Boy, look at you to be honest, did you kill someone, to tell the truth." ”

The old man was also on guard against him, holding a wooden bucket in his hand, as long as the other party wanted his life, he would smash it with the bucket, and then blow out the oil lamp first, after all, he was still familiar with this place.

As a result, Wang Huaguo told the truth honestly, saying that he was chased and killed, saying that he was going to rob one of his scriptures, which belonged to the monk of Shaolin Temple, and asked him to keep it, he couldn't lose it, and this group of people kept chasing here, and he fell into the whirlpool and was washed ashore by the water. If you don't believe me, you can ask Yang Shucheng.

Of course, the old man couldn't ask Yang Shucheng, but he also made an analysis, for a period of time, there have indeed been a group of outsiders in the town, all of them with swords and knives, and they are not good people at first glance, and they may also be bandits. I felt that what Wang Huaguo said was a little honest.

Wang Huaguo saw that the old man was just frowning and analyzing, and he didn't speak, so he couldn't help but ask: "I'm telling the truth, if you don't believe it, you ask Yang Shucheng." ”

The old man couldn't help but ask, "Who is Yang Shucheng?" ”

"It's a friend who came with me."

The old man rolled his eyes and said, "Where can I go to find Yang Shucheng." Did you also fall into the whirlpool and drown. ”

"No, he's so good that he must have escaped, but he'll definitely come back to save me."

"What kind of scripture is so important, so many people come to snatch it?" The old man finally asked the substantive question.

"It's the "Washing the Marrow Sutra"."

"This is not a famous scripture, and it is not the Diamond Sutra or the Lotus Sutra, you can give it to them, and you will not fall into the whirlpool." The old man pouted.

"That's not good, I promised the monks in the temple. Can't give them away. ”

"If you don't give it, don't give it, I don't understand you. What is the value of a broken scripture book. ”

Wang Huaguo asked: "Uncle, you are a fairy in the cave, if you are, you are a fairy grandfather." ”

The old man laughed and said, "Where am I a god, if only I were a god." “

Wang Huaguo asked, "Uncle is not an immortal, how could he come here." ”

The old man said: "If you are not an immortal, you can't come, you are not an immortal, why are you here?" ”

Wang Huaguo thought that the old man was reasonable, and at this time his mind was not stupid, and his heart suddenly brightened, so he said: "Since the old man can come, he can know the way out, you can take me out." ”

"Okay." The old man replied simply, and Wang Huaguo was also very happy, but the old man continued: "I have come so far to fish, you wait for me." ”

Wang Huaguo waited on the side, only to see the old man walking towards the waterhole, the body of the strong man by the waterhole was still lying on the ground, the old man looked at it, and walked to the edge of the deep pool.

First, the old man has lived so long that he has seen some dead people, and he is not afraid, there will always be some corpses floating on the Han River, and secondly, he believes that this person was not killed by Wang Huaguo.

The old man turned his head and asked, "Boy, you are not a local, you are a little monk of Shaolin Temple?" What's your name? ”

Wang Huaguo said: "I am not a monk of Shaolin Temple, my name is Wang Huaguo, in a village under the mountain of Shaolin Temple, I am herding sheep at home, often go to the edge of Shaolin Temple to herd sheep, and I am familiar with the monks in the temple." ”

The old man said, "My surname is Zhang." ”

"Uncle Zhang is good."

The old man walked to the edge of the pool, pulled out a net from behind his waist, and with a wave of his right hand, he spread the net, and with a loud noise, threw it into the pool.

When the net was scooped up, there was a net of live fish jumping around. Old man Zhang picked up the fish in the net and put them in the bucket. He turned his head to Wang Huaguo and said, "What boy, oh, it's called Wang Huaguo, don't stand stupidly, help pick up fish." ”

Wang Huaguo hurriedly ran over to pick up the fish.

Outside Chijia Mountain is a huge whirlpool, often swept the surrounding fish into the bottom of the river, can not escape, and finally swim into this pool, outside is a rapid rotation of water, they can not escape, gathered here, just waiting for the old man Zhang to net them.

It has been a few days of fish gathering here, and Old Man Zhang cast a few nets and caught a bucket full of fish.

It was quiet in the cave, and at this time, a cooing sound was heard, and Wang Huaguo thought to himself, there are frogs here.

"Boy, you're hungry and haven't eaten for a few days?"

Wang Huaguo said: "I don't know how many days there are days when my stomach is strangely hungry, and I am so hungry that I growl. At first, I thought it was a frog croaking. ”

Old man Zhang said: "You didn't say it earlier, there are no ready-made fish, I'll bake a few for you to eat." ”

The existing firewood in the cave was prepared to make a fire for roasting during the interval between fishing in the winter, and now it comes in handy.

The two of them piled up a pile of firewood, and the old man brought the bowl of oil and lit the fire.

Then each of them skewered a fish and roasted it over the fire.

It was roasted after a while, and Wang Huaguo was indeed hungry, so he took it and ate it.

The old man has two brothers, he is the eldest named Zhang Dafei, and there is a younger brother named Zhang Xiaofei. Because his family was poor, Zhang Xiaofei went to a family on the other side of the Han River and became an inverted son-in-law, plowing the fields and farming, and rarely came back.

Zhang Dafei got married locally and gave birth to a son, the son got married and gave birth to a daughter, three years ago, the young couple drove a small boat, fishing on the Han River, a boatload of thieves came, killed the two of them, robbed their fish, not to mention, but also robbed their boat.

Zhang Dafei almost cried and was blind, at this time his granddaughter was also fifteen or sixteen years old, well-behaved and cute, and the grandfather and grandson depended on each other.

As the saying goes: where there is a curse, there is a blessing. This Zhang Dafei cried for his son and daughter-in-law, and almost cried blind, but waited for the blessing to come.

On this day, he went up to Chijia Mountain to chop wood, and his eyes could not see clearly, and he rolled down from the cliff as soon as he stepped on the air. He thought that if he rolled down, he would die, but he was caught by a tree branch and did not die.

When he opened his eyes, he was halfway up the cliff, and when he looked left and right, he found a cave. But he saw a rabbit running into the hole.

It is also possible that the rabbit rolled down the mountain and fell into this cave.

Zhang Dafei was greedy, he wanted this rabbit, after all, the grandfather and grandson hadn't smelled of meat for a long time.

He knew that the rabbit would not be able to escape, so he cut the pine branch with the axe in his hand and made a torch.

Zhang Dafei held the torch and climbed into the hole. Sure enough, he climbed a few steps, and the rabbit was waiting in front, and when it saw the old man Zhang crawling in, he wanted to catch it and fry the rabbit meat to eat, so he turned around and ran towards the hole.

Old man Zhang was reluctant to give up the rabbit meat to his mouth, and chased after him with a torch.

In this way, a rabbit and a person ran straight to the depths of the hole.
