No Return to the Mountain, No Return to the People Chapter 17 Ask the Sword White Ape Cave
"It doesn't matter, life is not as expected, nine times out of ten. β
Lying in the stone crevice in the White Ape Cave, Ren Pingsheng, whose arms were paralyzed by the shock, comforted himself. He actually didn't know where he learned this sentence, anyway, no one said it.
He knew a lot of things that no one else had ever taught.
For example, when he was eight years old, he began to pay attention to the relief carving of the railing of the Yingsheng Bridge in the village, and when he saw "Heavenly Fury", he would think of the word "Heavenly Fury"; when he saw "Heavenly Shock", he thought of the Stone Breaking Heavenly Shock, and when he saw "Heavenly Hatred", what did he think of with a vague image, "Hate the sky"?
It's just that these, in this wild world, are useless, and for learning swords, they are even more useless.
The whole plain, just a radius of dozens of miles, ten miles and eight towns, those who have learned to read are nothing more respected, make a living, and have a broader vision.
But he hadn't been to school for a day, but once he saw the words, he found that most of them recognized him.
In fact, he would rather know less about it and be useful, such as the sword he swung at the white ape just now.
He was full of confidence, accumulated half a month's work, gathered the strength of his whole body, swung out a sword, followed the sword, rushed out of the crack in the stone, and rushed towards the big white ape who was looking at him in the big hole with a confused face.
The big white ape only watched quietly, and the little guy who was beaten into a rolling gourd by himself half a month ago suddenly cracked his extremely ugly big mouth and laughed strangely.
As soon as he felt the coercion brought by that huge body and supreme combat power, the young man became nervous, and as soon as he was nervous, the sword momentum immediately accelerated, and the sword intent was completely lost, just seeking to hit.
And then, of course, it could not be hit.
When Ren Pingsheng's sword arrived in front of him, the white ape waved his long arm, as if driving away flies, and when the furry arm touched, the young man instantly felt a creep in his chest and abdomen, and the sword momentum was already gone.
Then he found that his feet were off the ground. Immediately, the whole body was already flying in the air, flying straight into the crack in the stone when it came. The arm holding the sword carried the castration and weight of the entire body and slammed into the stone wall. That white-haired brute, throwing people into the cracks of the stones, is really more accurate than shooting!
Of course, there can't be basketball in this world.
In an instant, his arm was completely unconscious, and he didn't know if it was broken.
Therefore, he did not dare to move, in case it was broken, any rash move could lead to the dislocation of the broken bones, and it would be even more difficult to recover the connection. As the only hunter in the village and the only descendant, he still understands this common sense of survival and healing in the wild.
The white ape is too big to get into the stone crevice. When it was confirmed that the middle-aged man would not show up, it began to find it a little funny.
It stuffed an ugly face covered with white hair into the exit of the stone crevice, and screamed, and its face seemed to be smiling.
"Uncle, you wait. Ren Pingsheng swallowed this cruel sentence that had been used by the world to shake the world and swallowed it fiercely into his stomach. But there was a flattering look on his face.
At this time, don't provoke the white-haired brute. He reminded himself that once that guy went crazy and threw rocks here without a head, it would be very troublesome for him who couldn't move.
After lying down for a long time, the old white ape also teased him for a long time with different tricks at the crack of the stone, and the young man could finally move. Move your right hand, fortunately, the arm bone is not broken!
There is another thing that makes Ren Pingsheng even more strange, that is, since he is already defeated, why didn't the white ape take revenge for the previous Dan seizure?
Perhaps, this beast has a limited memory, and after such a month and a half, it has long forgotten.
So much better!
Ren Pingsheng struggled to stand up, moved his muscles and bones, and moved without hindrance. Only then did he bow deeply to the ugly face stuffed in the stone crevice, and said in a very soft tone: "Goodbye, don't send it, it won't be long before you and I have to come back, pick your skin, stew your meat, and feed other people's Shiba dogs." β
ββThis kind of vulgar villagers' daily teasing words come to him casually. Anyway, it is impossible for the white ape to understand.
As the king of the mountains in Xiling, although the white ape does not understand human language, the other party's surrender and respect are useful when they look at it. It grinned and whined, very proud.
Back to his cliff cave, it was the middle of the day. Ren Pingsheng planned to practice swords again at night, because there was no food left. Besides, in the future, it is inevitable that I will often go to the white ape cave to ask for the sword, first go to find some good things, worship the mountain a few more times, maybe next time, the old monster can be a little lighter.
The big white ape beat him twice, plus once he was chased and ran away in the mountains for a day and a night, Ren Pingsheng didn't feel that there was a grudge in this, because every time he came to the door to beat someone.
Fortunately, the white ape is quite intelligent, since the man also fought and left last time, and did not hurt it, so it did not kill Ren Pingsheng.
This time I went out to forage for food, and I was lucky, in addition to the original machine spring clipping a few hares, I also hit an elk. Ren Pingsheng was not satisfied, he was still looking around, and finally found an extremely rare musk fruit in a very secret canyon at the bottom of the mountain.
The most strange thing is that the kernel is shaped like a red date, the entrance is pink and crisp, and the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, and it is also a rare delicacy.
In general, wild fruits in the mountains bloom in spring and summer and bear fruit in summer and autumn. This musk fruit is an extremely rare anomaly, which blooms throughout the cold winter, and then ripens in late spring.
He picked a bag of musk danguo, and then carried his prey and returned to the cave.
Seeing that it was still early, he didn't have time to roast the venison, so he picked up the bag of musk fruit first, and hurried into the tunnel of the back cave.
The white ape heard an undisguised movement in the crack in the stone, and stuffed his face again.
It's this kid again, just after eating the beating, and his skin is itchy again?
I guess it must have thought so in its heart, grinning and howling twice, and it could hear the whistling full of anger.
Ren Pingsheng bowed, lit up the burden he was holding in his right hand, stretched out his left hand, and showed that he didn't have a sword.
The white ape didn't know what he was trying to do, but when he saw the other party's flattering look, he calmed down slightly. Ren Pingsheng kept his hands in front so that the white ape could see his movements clearly, and his left hand slowly reached into the baggage, and he took out a musk danguo.
The white ape's eyes lit up, and he whined again, excited. This thing, even the apes that like berries the most, is not easy to find! The musk danguo can be called the king of berries in the mountains in this area, and both humans and apes cherish it very much.
Ren Pingsheng tossed it lightly, and the musk danguo in his hand drew a gentle arc in the air in front of the white ape. The white ape reached out to catch it, then stuffed it into his mouth, and pulled out the husk casually, neatly.
The berry pit in the mouth has been eaten without two chews. The white ape's eyes looked directly at the bulging burden in Ren Pingsheng's hands.
"This, I can't give it to you, next time I pick it, I have to use it." Ren Pingsheng pointed to the burden, said word by word, and kept gesticulating, "I'll give you all the fruit, don't rob me of my bag." β
The white ape just stared, I don't know why, seeing where the young man kept pointing and drawing, but he didn't throw the fruit over, he became a little anxious, and his claws began to pull the rocks on both sides of the stone crack, and he was about to break through the rocks.
The rock was unusually hard, and if it could have been moved, it would have been opened a long time ago, and it might have been able to accommodate the back of its own house, and there was a door that it couldn't enter.
Ren Pingsheng saw that he didn't understand, and he was also sweating profusely in a hurry, so he hurriedly threw two more Danguo over. The white ape chewed in his mouth, and finally got better. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the young man opened the baggage, and the full bag of fruit suddenly appeared all at once, and the white ape's eyes were straight.
He pointed to the fruit in the baggage, then to the white ape, then to the rim of the baggage, and then to himself, in an inquiring gesture.
The white ape also seemed to finally understand what he meant, and whined twice, and his voice was gentle.
Ren Pingsheng grabbed the two ends of the burden with both hands, one step at a time, and slowly approached the exit of the stone crevice, and the burden in his hand was always open.
The closer he got, the more the boy's hands trembled. In fact, he could have thrown it all over with a single hand, but in that case, the purpose of being close to it would be all in vain.
Seeing that the burden and hands were about to touch the range of the white ape's fingertips, the young man gritted his teeth and stretched his hands forward tremblingly...... Two inches. - Catch it with half a finger and get out.
The white ape's slender fingers struggled to grasp a handful, but only caught two or three fruits, and he was extremely dissatisfied, and whined again. But seeing that the other party only grabbed the fruit, Ren Pingsheng's heart was upside down, but he was suddenly relieved.
He simply handed the burden forward, and the white ape really only grabbed the fruit, one handful after another, leaving no one. He shook off his burden, spread his hands at the white ape, and then beckoned to leave.
The first contact is considered a success, and tomorrow I will pick some fruits, and then come to feed the sword to this white-haired old monster.
This whole night, Ren Pingsheng hardly slept seriously.
Why is it that my father's slow sword can always carry the momentum that can be stimulated at any time, and my sword, which can be said to be practiced to the point of god, is so vulnerable?
Lying on the stone bed, this question haunts me, entangles and lingers. But whenever there is a flash of inspiration, it will inevitably jump up, and it is countless times to swing the sword, but it is still impossible to grasp the essentials.
Just like this, tossing and turning, until the sky was about to dawn, Ren Pingsheng closed his eyes in a daze.
