Chapter 18: The Great Tribulation Never Dies
After thinking about it for a few hours, it was almost dark, but Lin Yin still had no clue, and his head was a little confused. He turned his head sideways and looked at the river beach in the distance, the river lapping against the rocks on the shore and the small gravel beach below, feeling like a pebble on the beach, being slapped by the river, but there was no way to fight back. It was finally dark, and Lin Yin felt that he had nothing to think about, so he could probably only die like this. There is no way to heal his wounds, and there is no passing boat woodcutter hunter, it seems that he is really a bit of a back. Lin Yin didn't bother to think about anything more, because he was feeling very now, his throat was like dry wood, and his lips must have cracked.
When he was in a daze, Lin Yin seemed to see Ren Cheng, as well as his parents and fellow villagers, all of whom were standing on the riverbank, waving and smiling at Lin Yin, but they didn't say a word. Lin Yin felt himself stand up again, and then floated towards the river like the wind, he wanted to tell his parents that he missed them very much; I also wanted to tell Ren Cheng that he didn't take good care of Ren Yue, and Xiao Yue's whereabouts are unknown now, and he is very ashamed. He flew towards them, but he found that no matter how much he flew, he could not fly in front of them, and it seemed that the distance did not shrink in the slightest. He flew faster and faster, panicking more and more, and felt that the scenery around him was receding and blurring.
Finally, Lin Yin flew for a long time, and felt that he was getting a lot closer, and he could touch them after floating for a while, Lin Yin was a little happy, and he wanted to grin.
But he didn't laugh, because he found that all the people in front of him were fading, becoming transparent, fading more and more, and gradually disappearing, leaving only footprints in one place. The footprints were touched by the river that slapped the shore, and they all disappeared again.
Lin Yin didn't have time to be sad, and suddenly trembled, everything in front of him disappeared in an instant, and the dark sky and the cool evening breeze reappeared. He thought, "The river can heal the marks on the beach, but can it heal the scars and broken bones on my chest?" He remembered that there were a few sentences in the secret book: "Jiji is the governor, such as Sichuan Chenghu; Lang Lang is a sea of air, engulfing the desolation; The eight veins are in unison, following the rivers and lakes. Lin Yin felt that these words meant that luck passed through the wound to promote the wound to recover. He concentrated on running the internal force, hovering it on the acupuncture points on his chest, such as "Xuanji, Yutang, and Washington ......", so that the internal force could be washed over and over again in a special twisting and circling way, and it was warmly cleaned.
Heaven is pitiful, this method is indeed effective, Lin Yin soon felt that the pain in his chest was reduced, and the bruise from the wound slowly moved to his throat and mouth, and when he was about to spit out, he stood up suddenly, bent over and vomited. It still hurts to get up, but it's not so unbearable. After vomiting out the bruises, Lin Yin felt much better, and said with emotion: "Brother Ren's cheats are really powerful, such a serious injury can be cured, hahahaha." It seems that I myself am not bad, I can actually heal injuries, if I am a barefoot Langzhong in the future, I will definitely be much more powerful than those doctors in the town again, after all, they don't know how to do internal strength. "Thinking again: Nian" The treatment method just now seems to be able to be used for practice, although the running time is not much, but I feel that the internal force has increased a little, and it is much faster than the growth of the usual practice and cultivation. ”
The ribs in my chest are still broken, and it still hurts, but it's not so unbearable anymore. Lin Yin trembled into the cabin, and went in every room to take a look, but unfortunately it was all turned over and empty. When he arrived at Ren Yue's room, the room was also full of messes, Lin Yin was stunned for a moment, and found that Ren Cheng's ashes were sprinkled in a corner. Lin Yin was furious, eager to cut these people with a thousand knives. He endured the pain, found a piece of cloth to put away the ashes on the ground, and then found a few more clothes to put on randomly, and then went to lie down on the wooden bed to rest. After a while, feeling unbearably hungry and thirsty, he staggered to the stern of the boat, found the bucket, and drank some river water, but he was too lazy to move again, and sat down in the stern.
After resting until midnight, Lin Yin felt that he should go ashore to find a bone to connect the broken sternum, but it was inconvenient to get dark at this time, so he could only wait for dawn. I groped for some dry food, ate it indiscriminately, and then went back to sleep.
When it was dawn, Lin Yin used his exercises to treat the chest bruise again, took Ren Cheng's ashes, and then jumped from the boat to the shore. Fortunately, this section of the river is not wide, and the boat is not more than a foot from the shore, and it can land with a slight lift, and the chest pain is not manageable. The boat has been anchored, and the body of the boatman is estimated to have disappeared downstream, and he didn't bother to look for it, and Lin Yin was about to leave. This place is in the middle of Mingyue Gorge, the cliff is quite high, standing vertically, now it is impossible to climb up, so you have to go north along the river.
Fortunately, after walking for a short time, there is a gentle slope, and you will climb up slowly. Then there was a forest, not very dense, and the terrain was not much undulating, Lin Yin picked up a thick branch to make a cane, and slowly headed west.
After starving and walking for a long time in pain and exhaustion, I finally came to a small village, twenty or thirty households, many thatched roofs, mud and wood walls, very common mountain villages. At this time, it was already noon, Lin Yin entered the village, and was found by the villagers, and he was just about to open his mouth for help, but he couldn't support it and fainted.
Fortunately, the folk customs here are simple, and when Lin Yin woke up, the broken bones in his chest were all connected one by one, and the wounds were also bandaged layer by layer, although they were wrapped with some flexible and wide long leaves, the effect was very good. Lin Yin opened his eyes and was lying on an old wooden bed, and the whole room was just this one bed, not even a table, and no one else. touched it beside him, but fortunately, Ren Cheng's ashes are still there. The door was closed, and the light through the crack in the door was dim, so I guess it was already evening. After the wound was bandaged, he felt even more hungry, so he gritted his teeth and got up, trying to go out and find something to eat.
Before they could reach the door, they were pushed away, and in came a rickety old woman, carrying a bowl of black porridge, not only what was cooked, but also a few things like small radish, but also black, which seemed to be burnt, but the aroma could be smelled from a long distance.
The old woman was not surprised when she saw that Lin Yin had already gotten up, handed over the porridge, and said, "Drink this bowl of buckwheat porridge and a few roasted yams, eat them all." "They have the same accent as Ren Yue.
Lin Yin thought of Ren Yue, and suddenly couldn't help crying, took the porridge bowl and put it to his mouth for a long time, before opening his mouth and drinking it slowly. Buckwheat porridge is not as fine and lubricating as rice porridge, but it has a special fragrance and a hint of sweetness, which is very delicious. Because his chest still hurt, he didn't dare to swallow it.
After drinking the porridge and eating a few roasted yams, Lin Yin was in a lot of spirits. The old woman kept watching Lin Yin eat and drink, and when he finished eating, she took the bowl before saying, "Your chest is not good, rest more, and come back tomorrow to bring you food." "Then I'm going to go out. Lin Yin hurriedly thanked him, and said, "Grandma, is this the Sword Gate Pass, not far from Dajian Town?" He knew that Ren Yue was from Dajian Town, and it was said that he lived in the western suburbs of the town, and he could see their house from afar.
The old woman looked at Lin Yin and said, "This place is called Big Pine Village, and there is a big pine tree at the entrance of the village. I know the place you mentioned, not far from here, thirty miles to the west, and the largest town is. I haven't been there for a long time, I'm afraid it's been twenty or thirty years. ”
Lin Yin listened to what she said, and said, "Thank you, grandma, you don't have to send me food tomorrow, I'll go to Dajian Town in the morning." Then he asked, "Grandma, which Lang Zhong helped me heal my injury, and I have to thank him." ”
The old woman said, "My son got it for you, and I don't know who beat you like this, such a cruel person." Little doll, you are also very good, and you survived the injury like this. He added: "You don't have to thank us, some herbs, not worth much, and don't worry that we don't have food to eat, this year's harvest is good, my son will see a doctor and heal his injuries, and there is no shortage of food at home." With that, he closed the door and went out.
Lin Yin wanted to go out for a walk, but touched the thick lump of the bag on his chest, and lay down obediently. He planned to find Ren Cheng's hometown tomorrow, find a place to bury the ashes, and then go to Ren Yue. thought again: "The group of people who attacked me must have also been to Ren Yue's hometown, I don't know if it's still there, whether Xiao Yue will be there too." When you go on your own, you have to be careful. ”
After thinking about and planning, I worried about Xiaoyue's safety for a long time, and finally got up my mental skills once, and finally couldn't hold back and fell asleep. When she woke up the next day, it was almost noon, and Lin Yin felt a little ashamed, so she hurriedly got out of bed and pushed the door out.
Outside the door is a courtyard, the yard is three zhang square, there are several houses, and the walls are not high, but in this mountain village, it is a rich family. The house where I lived was in the corner of the courtyard, and sure enough, standing in the corner of the courtyard and looking up at the entrance of the village, I could see the big pine tree that the old woman said.
It may be that when Lin Yin went out, a young man pushed the door out of the middle of the courtyard. Lin Yin looked at the man, in his early thirties, slightly older than Ren Chengcheng, not tall, with long eyebrows and eyes, and he was a very happy person at first glance. Before Lin Yin could speak, the man said, "Little brother, you're awake, come into the house and let me have a look." After speaking, he pulled Lin Yin into the main house. The main room is not wide, but there are a few tables and chairs, Lin Yin sits on the chair, and the man sits next to him, putting his fingers on Lin Yin's wrist to check his pulse.
After a moment, the man took his hand away and said, "It's strange, it's strange, you didn't suffer any internal injuries, or did you take any medicine?" Lin Yin knew that the reason why the internal injuries healed quickly was mostly due to the effect of the secret method passed on by Ren Cheng, but it was inconvenient to say it clearly, so he said: "I don't know, I was kicked by someone, and my bones were broken a lot, but it's okay inside." Then he said: "Thank you big brother for saving me, my name is Lin Yin, I have the ability in the future, and I will definitely repay my eldest brother for saving my life." ”
The man laughed, waved his hand and said, "A little thing, what is there to repay." He looked at Lin Yin again and said, "The little brother's sternum is very broken, and it is difficult for ordinary strong men to do it, it is the hand of the legendary martial arts master." "Although this man is a mountain village langzhong, he often picks medicine to sell in the town, and it is also a common thing to go out for remote consultations, so he also knows what the martial arts master said.
