Chapter 152: I Didn't Get Home
When Liu Zhiyuan saw this belt, he almost hooked the old man with drooping eyebrows, not only was he anxious. How should this be? In the middle of these barren mountains and mountains, where can we go to find ropes?!
The old man with drooping eyebrows kept shouting below, "Boy, this is enough for a little more! Hurry up, I can't hold it anymore!"
A sigh beside him reached Liu Zhiyuan's ears, and Liu Zhiyuan looked back, but saw the ugly mother-in-law staring at the bottom of the cliff with a cold face.
"This ......?!" Liu Zhiyuan was just about to open his mouth to ask her for help, but after thinking about it, no, if she can't stop herself again, it will be more troublesome, it is better to find a way to solve it yourself.
In fact, this ugly mother-in-law has been paying attention to the movements of the island owner in the middle of the lake below, for fear that he will climb up. He was indifferent to the life or death of the old man with drooping eyebrows.
He took a look, the cliff was straight and upright, and the owner of the island in the middle of the lake only grabbed the cliff cypress in the rock crevice with one hand, and couldn't focus on it, so naturally he had no way to come up.
When Liu Zhiyuan was in distress, he suddenly felt that his back was pushed, and when he looked back, he was surprised to see that the middle-aged man had crawled over from a distance, and he had also untied his belt and handed it over.
Liu Zhiyuan nodded gratefully, took his belt, connected the two belts together, and slowly went down, just long enough.
When the old man below saw it, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly reached out to grab it, and with a swing of his body, Liu Zhiyuan strengthened his hand and slowly dragged him upward.
At this time, the cliff cypress that was grasped in the hands of the owner of the island in the middle of the lake could no longer bear his weight, and it became more and more loose, and it was about to fall off.
At this moment, seeing that the old man with drooping eyebrows was about to be dragged up by Liu Zhiyuan, if this was the case, then there would really be no one to save him. Who will take care of themselves? Then they can only wait for death, that is, if they don't fall, if they stay here, they will starve themselves to death!
How long you can last is not certain. He must seize this last glimmer of hope and must not sit idly by. Thinking of this, he jumped desperately, his body floated upward, and just as he was about to fall, he grabbed the ankle of the old man with drooping eyebrows.
The old man with drooping eyebrows was slowly moving up under Liu Zhiyuan's tugging, but he didn't expect his body to sink, and his heel was entangled by something, he screamed, looked down, and was surprised, but it turned out that the owner of the island in the middle of the lake grabbed his foot.
He kicked for a while in annoyance, but the owner of the island in the middle of the lake grabbed it and didn't let go, because he knew that as soon as he let go, his life would really be gone.
This is his only hope in life, he can't give up, just like a drowning man, as long as he catches something, he will not let go until he dies, he is like this now.
Liu Zhiyuan, who was dragging the old man with drooping eyebrows, suddenly felt a sinking in his hand, almost shook himself down, his body was closer to the edge of the cliff, his heart trembled for a while, and he didn't know what was going on below, so he hurriedly gritted his teeth and grabbed his belt and didn't dare to let go.
Fortunately, he and the middle-aged man are both practitioners, and the belts they tie are all wide and strong plate belts, so they can bear the weight of the two, otherwise the ordinary belt will be over.
The middle-aged man saw Liu Zhiyuan's body slipping down and almost slid off the cliff, so he hurriedly reached out and grabbed Liu Zhiyuan's shirt in a hurry, so that he could stabilize and not slide down.
Looking down, seeing that the owner of the island in the middle of the lake was following the old man with his eyebrows, he was annoyed, so he spread his hand again, and with a "sting" sound, Liu Zhiyuan slid forward again, and he hurriedly and helplessly grabbed it.
The ugly mother-in-law standing on the side kept looking at each other coldly, and when the middle-aged man desperately crawled over and ripped off his belt to save the old man with hanging eyebrows, she couldn't help but feel jealous, and a sense of jealousy. But after thinking about it, this is also human nature, after all, they are biological father and son, and their flesh and blood are connected, so how can there be no reason not to worry about their stomachs.
The owner of the island in the middle of the lake saw the old man with his eyebrows kicking himself with his feet, and hurriedly said anxiously, "Hanging eyebrows, how can you be like this, I have given you all the life-saving antidotes, and I am not willing to use them! Now you are doing this to me?!"
"What, what did you say, you gave me all the antidotes, is it true?!" The old man with drooping eyebrows was stunned when he heard his words, and his body softened, and his heart softened, and he stopped kicking him.
Although Liu Zhiyuan was dissatisfied with the harm to human life of Ginkgo Village, the owner of the island in the middle of the lake, but listening to what he said just now, he did leave the life-saving medicine to him and the old man with his eyebrows, and did not leave a single pill for himself, he also left his life to others and death to himself at that time, and he was still grateful for his approach!
The middle-aged man originally wanted to stop the owner of the island in the middle of the lake from coming up, but after hearing his words, he still hesitated. Yes, he saw it with his own eyes at that time, and he desperately deceived the antidote and rushed to save the old man and Liu Zhiyuan! Not only did he let out a long sigh, why do people sometimes be so kind, and sometimes they do heinous crimes? Why is human nature so complicated?
The ugly mother-in-law, who has always looked at each other coldly, saw that the owner of the island in the middle of the lake was about to follow, and the flame of anger flashed in her eyes, and every time Liu Zhiyuan approached, it was to increase the hope of life for the owner of the island in the middle of the lake and the old man with drooping eyebrows, and it was precisely like a meat grinder that twisted the heart of the ugly mother-in-law, her heartbeat began to speed up sharply, and she grabbed the rattan cane tightly, almost crushing the rattan cane.
And the middle-aged man stared at the two people below, he didn't know what he should do, should he take advantage of the fact that they had just come up and not yet stood firm, make a surprise attack, and slap the owner of the island in the middle of the lake off the cliff, resulting in his life, in order to repay his mother's nurturing grace.
Thinking of this, I thought of the dedication of the owner of the island in the middle of the lake to himself for decades. What should I do?!, distraught, he slammed his hands into his head.
Liu Zhiyuan exclaimed, his body "swooped" and slid down the cliff, it turned out that the middle-aged man hit his head with both hands, and forgot to pull Liu Zhiyuan, when Liu Zhiyuan screamed, he came to his senses. hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled Liu Zhiyuan's shirt again, Liu Zhiyuan did not continue to slide down, but he was already shocked into a cold sweat.
The two people below suddenly felt that their bodies were falling, and they also screamed, especially the island master in the middle of the lake was grasping the ankle of the old man with hanging eyebrows, and he couldn't even do it.
Liu Zhiyuan settled down, endured his fear of heights and dizziness, gritted his teeth, and desperately pulled the two upwards.
Seeing that the two were about to approach the edge of the cliff, the old man with his eyebrows lowered climbed up first. Immediately following the island lord in the middle of the lake also grabbed the edge of the cliff, and before everyone could come to their senses, he had already jumped into the air with his strength and jumped on everyone's heads, and everyone was stunned.
The reason why he is doing this is because all the people present at the moment are not on his side. He could even feel that he was running for his death, so he had no one to trust, he had to take any chance to escape, and he would never give anyone a chance to kill him. Because he saw the ugly mother-in-law's fierce expression, and the rattan cane tightly grasped in his hand was trembling, hiding a murderous intention.
The first to react was the ugly mother-in-law, after all, his martial arts cultivation was better than everyone else. Her cane had already struck at that moment, and it hit the back of the island lord in the middle of the lake at once. The owner of the island in the middle of the lake couldn't help but scream, fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and barely struggled to get up from the ground, his eyes full of resentment and resentment.
Followed by a howl of "whoosh", his body stiffened, and for a long time, he fell straight to the ground with a plop, struggled twice, and was no longer motionless.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward, the ugly mother-in-law reached out to his nose, how could there be a trace of snort, not only looked up to the sky and laughed, "Hahaha, you also have today?!"
The middle-aged man rolled over with a pale face, and after pulling Liu Zhiyuan hard just now, he had exhausted his strength, and he no longer had any strength.
But when he saw the owner of the island in the middle of the lake fall to the ground all of a sudden, and never got up again, he was grief-stricken in his heart, thinking about his decades of goodness, he really couldn't bear it, climbed to the island owner in the middle of the lake, stood up, kowtowed three times with a bang, and shouted up to the sky: "Master, โโ! apprentice kowtowed to your old man, you have ...... all the way!" A burst of crying ensued.
At this time, except for the ugly mother-in-law, everyone else didn't have a taste in their hearts. Liu Zhiyuan and the old man with drooping eyebrows stood silently in front of the island owner in the middle of the lake for a long time, with tears in their eyes and a downcast expression.
The atmosphere was suffocating.
"...... you?!" The old man with lowered eyebrows glanced at the middle-aged man, and had the heart to come forward to recognize him. When the ugly mother-in-law saw this, she was annoyed, and put the cane between the two of them at once, "Wellโโ?!"
The old man with drooping eyebrows immediately stopped, he didn't want to make any more trouble, because he had just climbed up from the cliff, and he really didn't have the strength to fight with him, so he could only hold back himself, especially when he saw the middle-aged man with a cold face facing him, his heart was cold. Grit your teeth, stomp your feet, turn around and go.
Liu Zhiyuan, who was in a hurry, kept chasing and shouting behind him, "Uncle, wait for me......!"
When the ugly mother-in-law saw the two of them walking away, she turned her head and beckoned to the middle-aged man, "Child, we can go home now......!"
The middle-aged man who was kneeling in front of the island lord in the middle of the lake, crying loudly, heard this, raised his head, stared at her for a long time, let out a long sigh, his face was full of lost soul, and muttered, "Go home......?!" Home ......!" His body froze, and he knew that the home was long gone, just vaguely floating in his dreams.
But after all, there were so many good things about his childhood there, and he really wanted to go back, especially when he knew that his time was short, and he wanted to go back to that good life!
He tried his best to get up and go home with his mother, but because of his injuries, he fell to the ground again as soon as he was about to get up, and his face showed a very painful expression.
When the ugly mother-in-law saw this, she hurriedly turned around and squatted down, carried him on her back, and walked slowly down the mountain tremblingly with a rattan cane.
The middle-aged man lay on his mother's back, gently closed his eyes, and kept muttering in a daze: "Mother, have you arrived home?"
The ugly mother-in-law hurriedly said, "I haven't arrived home!"
"Did you get home?"
"Didn't get home!"
"Did you get home?"
"Not home!" ......
The words of the mother and son echoed in the valley, and then drifted into the distant sky......
