Chapter 66: The Mountains and Forests
Ah Ying, who woke up, was still very weak, and he didn't have the slightest strength to stand up, so he could only lie quietly in Ah Man's arms. Aman also stopped crying for a while. It's just that they all look in the same direction.
Only a very small part of the light of the green light can shine through, making both of them have a pale cyan color around them. It is better to say that they look at the lamp than that they look at the person who picks up the lamp.
The old man's voice sounded with a smile: "This girl has also woken up, and the way home has been found, so I won't bother much." As she spoke, the mysterious mother-in-law had slowly turned sideways and walked in the direction that Ah Ying had just pointed out.
The candlelight was so faint that the green light illuminated her invisible front, and the bamboo cane in her other hand made a soft sound as she explored the path back and forth. There are also words in the mouth: "The front heart is created, the back heart is repaid, how can there be a time to get rid of? If the front heart is not created, that is, the back heart has no retribution, and it is safe to see karma in vain?
The mother-in-law slowly raised her steps and retracted it, and the lamp in her hand was a little closer to the ground, but it was a green worm lying horizontally.
She moved slowly, adjusted her body slightly, bypassed the green worm smaller than her thumb, and muttered to herself: "You have neither created nor repaid, what karmic retribution should be, and the natural law of life and destruction." ”
The ghostly light faded away as the man bulged.
In the middle of the night, although Ah Ying has come back to life, his serious injuries have not healed, and his body is weak. The two decided to rest in the depths of the forest for one night and continue their journey tomorrow.
On this day, the sister and brother traveled south for a whole day and did not get out of the dense forest sea of Cangjie Mountain. At the end of the day, the two of them did not eat rice, they were exhausted, and Ah Ying was sick, and almost passed out again several times.
Seeing that night was falling again, the two of them who walked and rested couldn't tell when they would be able to completely walk out of this vast mountain forest.
Ah Man carefully supported Ah Ying's arm, and calculated in his heart that it would be a long night in less than half an hour, and it was better to prepare early tonight, "Sister, you sit in front for a while, and I will go to the surrounding area to pick up some firewood, so that I can keep it for the evening fire." ”
Ah Ying looked ahead and shook his head slowly, "Full, no need, look ahead." ”
I saw that the terrain not too far ahead, slightly higher, surrounded by a fence, sat an ordinary family. The lights are already flickering at the moment.
Ah Man's face was overjoyed, and he exclaimed: "Sister, it seems that we really don't have to endure hunger and cold in this deep forest tonight, God really helps us!"
"Sister, let's hurry over!" As he spoke, Aman helped Ah Ying to walk quickly towards the mountain forest house.
The sunset on the top of the trees grew heavier and heavier, and the last bit of light of the day was extremely red. The sparsely arranged bamboo hedges are pulled out to create extremely slender shadows.
A little girl in the fence is playing with the little finch in the bamboo cage. The little girl was dressed in a gray-brown coarse cloth dress, very rustic, and her combed silk hair had no jewels except a bamboo stick. The pink cheeks have been blushing after a long time in the sun.
A young finch has been locked up in this simple bamboo cage for a few days, loses its vitality, and stands on the stand to nap. No matter how the little girl grimaced and yelled at it, she ignored it.
The little girl saw that she was so hard to please, but the finches in the cage were quietly bathing in the residual sun, lying on the stand and napping, Xu was impatient, and slapped the bamboo cage violently, and suddenly the finches in the cage flew sideways against the wall, chirping.
"Hmph, I won't play with you, you can stay here quietly!"
As she spoke, the little girl turned around and went into the house. His eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of two figures not far from the fence, walking slowly.
The panicked little girl ran into the house with a smoke, and her immature voice kept shouting: "Daddy, someone is coming to our house, come out and see, Daddy!"
The sky was getting darker, but I could still see it clearly.
A slightly burly man stood in front of his house, his eyes fell on Ah Ying and Ah Man who were coming, and he asked in confusion: "I see the clothes of this little brother, could it be that the two of them are from Broken Cloud Pavilion?"
Ah Man spoke extremely quickly, and replied continuously: "Yes, yes, we are really disciples of Broken Cloud Pavilion!"
Ah Ying replied in a clear voice, "No, we are not disciples of Broken Cloud Pavilion. ”
Ah Manmeng stared at Ah Film, and said: "This uncle, my sister is seriously injured, and we have been walking in the mountains and forests for another day, so you can take us in for one night!"
Before Aman met, a small head suddenly poked out from behind the strong man, and he was looking at himself blankly, thinking that it was the uncle's child!
The plainly dressed man showed a friendly smile on his face, subconsciously stroked the little girl's head, stared at Ah Ying's bloodstained red clothes, and said, "I see that this girl is really injured, come in quickly!"
The night in the mountains and forests is extraordinarily quiet, everything in the world has fallen asleep, the cool breeze blows silently, and only a house on the ground is slightly higher in the light.
The interior of the house is quite spacious, but it is poor. The outhouse consists only of an old square table and four benches. In addition to the bed, the conspicuous thing in the inner room is the animal skin hanging on the wall, and the robe.
Aman devoured the pancakes brought by the man, laughed at the man, and the little girl kept nodding heavily, indicating that it was very delicious.
The man only smiled lightly, not wanting to interrupt him to continue eating.
The little girl saw Ah Ying sitting upright, her eyes only staring at Ah Man, who was hungry and hungry, and said in a very puzzled voice: "Big sister, aren't you hungry, or is your father's cake not delicious, why don't you eat a bite?"
Ah Man swallowed hard and said, "Sister, uncle's pancakes taste really good, you can take a bite too!"
Ah Ying replied, "I'm not hungry. ”
Aman didn't feel embarrassed to eat much under the gaze of the three of them, at most he was half full, and then raised his sleeves to wipe his mouth, thinking of all kinds of polite words in his head.
"This radius is full of dense mountains and forests, and I don't know why the two of you will end up here. The man still couldn't help but ask with curiosity in his heart.
Ah Man looked at this man carefully, with thick eyebrows and handsome eyes, dignified facial features, and honest, not like some bad person, so he said: "Actually, the two of us were originally disciples of Broken Cloud Pavilion, but they were driven out because they committed an unforgivable crime. ”
Seeing that Aman's face was agitated, the man didn't want to ask more, so he pretended to be clear and said, "I see, it's ......."
The little girl looked shocked and asked with a serious expression: "Little brother, have you learned a lot of powerful kung fu in Broken Cloud Pavilion, my father often says that Broken Cloud Pavilion's kung fu is the most powerful in the world!"
Ah Man raised his eyes and glanced at Ah Ying in a frosty and cold state, sank his head, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and replied helplessly: "Amazing, the most powerful in the world." ”
After a while, the man got up and took out a fist-sized jar from the back room, "Your sister's injury is not light, it just so happens that I still have some ordinary herbs here, although they are not as good as those precious medicinal herbs, they still work a little, so let's use it!"
Aman didn't know how to thank him for a while, and took the medicine jar with a trembling hand, his eyes faintly ruddy.
For so long, he and his sister have lived in all kinds of grudges and killings every day, and he has even forgotten that there is still warmth in this world.
He finally held back his tears and said heavily: "Uncle, Aman and his sister thank Uncle for today's kindness!"
The man waved his hand: "Little brother is serious, I am in a remote place in the mountains, and the hospitality is not good, so don't dislike the two of you." ”
"I haven't seen anyone in this remote place for a few months, so you can stay for a few days, first, the little brother is not much older than my baby daughter, accompany her to relieve her boredom, and second, your sister is seriously injured, and it is not a bad thing to recuperate here for a few days, I don't know what the two of you think?"
Seeing Aman's hesitation, the man smiled again: "Little brother, don't worry, there is a small house next to my simple house, which is a dining room on weekdays. ”
The little girl ran around the square table half a circle very quickly, came to Ah Ying's side, pulled the blood-stained sleeves, and pouted: "Big sister, you just stay, you have lost so much blood, it must be very painful!"
Ah Ying looked at the little girl beside her.
Aman only said: "Then the two of us will have to bother for a few more days." ”
"I don't know what to call the uncle, and this little sister?"
"My surname is Mo, a single name, this is my daughter, Mo Hetu"
