Seventeen, go to the peak to find the mother
Wang Xue has only been in Bozi Town for half a month, but she has experienced several turmoil one after another, and she really has mixed feelings in her heart. Wang Xue thought that her mother was delirious at this time and didn't know where to wander, and thought: "It's not the time to be sad now, I have to find my mother no matter what." When he went to Li Hao's room, he begged him to accompany him out to find his mother.
Li Hao discussed with everyone for a while, and decided to find Wang Xiaoli together. Wang Xiaoli hated Liu Yue to the core, but she didn't dare to let Liu Yue accompany her in this action.
Wang Xiaoli was separated from everyone in the back street of the rice shop, which was located at the foot of the Bohai Peak of Bozi Mountain, and it was expected that Wang Xiaoli must be hiding in the mountains, otherwise with her strange temperament of half mad and half beast, if she stayed in the town, the townspeople would find out and cause panic.
Everyone discussed in a low voice for a while, and then crawled to the Bohai Peak. Everyone crossed a rugged mountain road, and Wu Tian suddenly asked: "I'm thinking about something, even if we can find her, so what, do we want to forcibly take her back and put her in a cage?" If this was said by someone else, Wang Xue would be furious, but Wu Tian was simple and had always been good with Wang Xue, Wang Xue just smiled miserably when she heard it. Bu Ziyi said: "That's a good question. He took out a sealed jar from the bamboo basket on his back, and said thoughtfully: "This was developed by me and Li Hao overnight, I'm not sure if it works, but I have to give it a try." Wu Tian took the jar and said with a smile: "You actually carry it with you!" Holding the jar in his hand and playing with it as a hydrangea. Li Hao snatched the jar and shouted, "Don't play around, it's full of potions, be careful to spill it." Wu Tian frowned and muttered in a low voice: "Stingy ghost." Bu Ziyi said: "There are not many duck plantar grass in the prescription, and the snow chrysanthemum is not yet the time to pick, if this antidote is useless, I can only wait for the beginning of spring next year to develop it again." Wang Xue took the jar and shook it gently, and said strangely: "Can sprinkling the potion on my mother remove her toxins?" Li Hao explained: "It can only make her no longer in pain, and maybe restore a little of her consciousness, if you want to really detoxify, you have to take her back and let her take the poisoning herbs one after another." ”
The five of them went around the mountain several times, but Wang Xiaoli was never seen. Zhang Guanhua was anxious, and suddenly saw a person lurking under the tree in the distance, this person was ragged and had long hair messy, as if he was sleeping in the shade of the tree in the afternoon, but his face was not clear, and he pointed to the tree and shouted: "Wang Xue, do you see that is your mother?" Wang Xue looked sideways, thinking: "Besides my mother, who else would look like this?" Li Hao and others followed. Wang Xue ran for dozens of steps, suddenly retracted her feet, raised her hand to stop the step Ziyi behind her, and said softly: "She's not my mother!" I saw that although the person under the tree was sleeping soundly on the ground like an animal like Wang Xiaoli, he was with a wide waist, a fat body, a big head and round shoulders, obviously a man. The man rolled over, his face exposed. Wang Xue was shocked when she saw it, it turned out that the person under the tree was actually Barda.
Wang Xue thought that when she first met Barda, she mistook her for her mother, and she didn't want to repeat the old things today, so she almost mistook him. Wang Xue and Barda hadn't seen each other for many days, so they just wanted to go up and say hello immediately, thinking: "Look at him like this, he must have lived in the mountains for many days, and it's hard to say that he happened to see my mother recently." He was about to go over and wake him up, but as soon as he took a step, he saw that Barda's face was more vicious and strange than many days ago, and his heart moved, and he immediately remembered the situation when he first met Barda, and when he grabbed his neck and lifted it high, he could not help but be timid, and touched his neck, not daring to take another step.
Li Hao and Zhang Guanhua stayed beside Wang Xue, and Bu Ziyi and Wu Tian went around behind Barda, but no one dared to approach. After a while, Li Hao said softly: "Wang Xue, you go over and wake him up." Wang Xue's face changed, and he scolded softly: "Why me!" Li Hao said: "Because only you have the most familiar relationship with him here, he won't hurt anyone else!" Wang Xue thought that this was good, but he still didn't dare to step forward, and said timidly: "But he especially likes to pinch my neck." Li Hao gently pushed Wang Xue and said, "Go quickly!"
Wang Xue walked tremblingly and approached a few steps, and with each step, her heart chuckled, and she was only an arm's length away from Barda at this time. Wang Xue exhaled deeply, turned her head and glared at Li Hao fiercely, leaned down slightly, and said softly: "Barda, I'm Wang Xue!" She first reported her name, in case Barda woke up without distinguishing between the enemy and me. Seeing that Barda didn't react, he gently patted Barda's head and said softly: "Get up, Barda, don't sleep anymore." ”
Barda stretched slowly, rubbed her sleepy eyes, got up slowly, and looked coldly at Wang Xue and Li Hao and the others behind her. Wang Xue saw that Barda's face was not angry, her heart was slightly wider, and she smiled: "Barda, I haven't ...... for a long time" Before the last word "see" could be spoken, Barda roared, pushed forward with both hands, grabbed Wang Xue's neck, and lifted her high. Although Wang Xue had expected this to be the case, she was also frightened, and she didn't even like Li Hao to ask for help at the moment, but just screamed in a trembling voice: "I've really been unlucky lately!"
Bu Ziyi and Li Hao hurriedly went over to grab Barda's arm, but Barda's arms were strong, thicker than ordinary people's calves, although Bu Ziyi and Li Hao used all their strength, where could they pull it away? Zhang Guanhua punched out with both fists, and struck many key points on Barda's back, but Barda was unmoved. Zhang Guanhua was slightly startled, and was about to attack again, when Wu Tian suddenly screamed, and his hands reached for the bamboo basket on Bu Ziyi's back, took out the potion of potion, jumped high, and smashed it on the top of Barda's head. He saw that the jar was shattered into several pieces on Barda's head, and the tender green potion poured all over his head. Barda let out a long howl, let go of Wang Xue, covered his head tightly with both hands, and fell to his knees without moving.
Wang Xue saw that Wu Tian used up the only jar of potions, and the boss was unhappy in his heart, but he thought that his mother needed an antidote, but Barda also needed it, and he had personally handed over the prescription to himself, so it was indeed unreasonable to blame Wu Tian. Wu Tian smashed Barda's head with an altar was an impulsive move, and seeing that no one blamed him, he felt a little relieved. Li Hao asked, "Barda, what do you think?" Bu Ziyi hurriedly asked, "Does your head still hurt?" but tried to stay away from him.
Barda gasped for breath quickly, but did not answer, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Friends, thank you, you came to give me the antidote as soon as you developed it, and I almost hurt you, I am really ashamed, very ashamed." Li Hao and Wang Xue heard him say this, and their faces were red. Wu Tian smiled: "Actually, this is all a misunderstanding, we originally planned to use the potion for ......" Zhang Guanhua pressed Wu Tian's mouth and said with a smile: "Hehe, we originally planned to come here to detoxify you, hehe." Bu Ziyi asked, "Barda, do you feel better?" Barda shook his head and said, "My head still hurts badly, but it's much more comfortable than before." Bu Ziyi nodded and said, "It may be that the amount of medicine is too shallow, and you are too deeply poisoned." The next time I increase the dosage and take it internally with antidote pills, it should be fine. Barda thanked him repeatedly.
Wang Xue told Barda about her mother's situation, but avoided mentioning it in the section on saving her mother with medicine. Barda sighed, "After the poison, your mother can't control her mind, she is afraid that she will hurt you, so she stays away. I was also afraid that I would accidentally hurt others, so I hid in this mountain forest and was in the company of birds and beasts. He lowered his head and sighed, and said, "If you can't find her, then she can only be in one place." Wang Xue hurriedly asked, "Where?" Barda was silent, and raised his hand to point to the mountain in the distance.
Li Hao saw that the direction of Barda's finger was the Shanyi Peak of the Liangshan Gang, and he was shocked: "That Shanyi Peak is really the Longtan Tiger's Den, and we are really dead and alive when we venture in." "I only heard Barda say: "The Liangshan Gang sometimes arrests people who have been poisoned so that they can observe and study the properties of the poison and improve the poison. They sent men to arrest me twice, but I escaped. ”
Wang Xue faced the Liangshan Gang, with a pair of beautiful eyes, and thought: "Even if the Liangshan Gang is a Daoshan oil pot, for the sake of my mother, I have to break through." It's just that this idea is too difficult to export. Li Hao saw Wang Xue's expression and knew her intentions, so he said: "Barda, you used to be a member of the Liangshan Gang and are familiar with the terrain on the mountain. I ask you, if her mother is really on the mountain, where do you think she will be held?" Barda said, "There is a cell on the west side of the second floor of the cottage that faces the cliff, and all the people they took are there. It's a small cell, but it's easy to find, as you'll see. Li Hao turned his head to Zhang Guanhua and the others: "I want to go up to the peak to take a look, do you have any ideas?" Li Hao is witty and decisive, and often gives advice and ideas on behalf of people, but saving people from the peak is a matter of life and death, and Li Hao is inconvenient for one person to call the shots, so he asks each other.
Wang Xue knew that Li Hao was willing to take risks all for herself, so she glanced at Li Hao gratefully, but she didn't answer, she naturally wanted to go up to the peak with Li Hao. Bu Ziyi frowned slightly, and said softly: "It is good to go up to the peak to save people, but the risk taken is too great. Isn't our own lives important?" The implication was to oppose Li Hao's ascension. Zhang Guanhua nodded and said, "I support Bu Ziyi." That mountain Yifeng is too dangerous, not to mention that we are not completely sure that Aunt Wang is on the peak, let's look for it again, we really can't find her, and it's not too late to think about going to the peak. ”
Now the two of them advocate the peak, the two oppose it, and the most important decision falls into the hands of Wu Tian, the most inconspicuous person on weekdays. The four of them looked at Wu Tian coldly, waiting for him to make an idea. Wu Tian was already unassertive, and he was furious in his heart when he was looked at by everyone, and he looked up to the sky and said at a loss: "We...... In fact, we can divide the soldiers into two ways, Li Hao and Wang Xue go to the peak, and Guanhua and Bu Ziyi stay to answer the ......" Zhang Guanhua sighed and thought: "What you said is the same as what you didn't say." Li Hao sneered: "Then what about you, Wu Tian, do you want to follow us to the peak together, or stay to answer?" Wu Tian didn't expect Li Hao to ask such a question, and he couldn't answer for a while.
Wang Xue suddenly said, "Let's go back!"
Li Hao was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Why?" Wang Xue sighed: "It's really not a wise move to go up to the peak to save people, you don't have to risk it for me and my mother." As he spoke, he lowered his head and walked down the path dejectedly. Li Hao shouted a few times, Wang Xue was unmoved, Li Hao had no choice but to go back with Wu Tian and others.
That night, Wang Xue lay on her side on the bed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep, and kept reproducing the scene when her mother was poisoned in her mind. Mother wandered away for half her life, wind and rain duckweed is commonplace, there was no need to worry too much, but now that her mother has become a madman and is imprisoned in the enemy's den, Wang Xue is no longer filial, and she can't sleep peacefully.
In the middle of the night, Wang Xue couldn't bear it anymore and decided to go to Shanyi Peak to find her mother. At this time, it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the night in the mountains was as cold as water, Wang Xue had no warm clothes, so she could only go to the backyard and find the green short robe that Bu Ziyi was hanging on the clothes pole and put it on. She knew that this short robe was Bu Ziyi's favorite ornament, the fabric was precious, and Bu Ziyi was reluctant to wear it on weekdays, but at the moment there was no other clothes to replace, so she could only put it on and quietly run to Shanyi Peak.
Wang Xue has been on Bozi Mountain many times in the past few days, and the terrain on the mountain is slightly familiar, but it is the first time that Yu Shen has been alone in the middle of the night to rush the mountain road, although he has the determination to go to the soup and fire, but when he sees the quiet and dark scenery on the mountain, he can't help but tremble. After walking a few miles of mountain roads, I suddenly remembered that when I was a child, I heard the older generation say that the mountains were inhabited by demons that came out of the day and night, and often hunted girls who entered the mountains alone.
Wang Xue leaned under the tree and closed her eyes to rest for a while, and was about to continue walking, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps behind her, as if someone was approaching, Wang Xue was shocked, and was busy squatting behind the tree to hide, only to see that the people who came were two black-clothed men with short knives in their hands, and they looked like the bandits of the Liangshan Gang patrolling the night. One of the robbers said, "My brother did a great good deed this morning." Another bandit said curiously: "What, what have you done?" The first robber laughed: "This morning I stopped a sister and brother who came to visit relatives, originally I only wanted to ask for a few wine money, I didn't want the sister and brother to turn around and flee after seeing me, I threw the short knife casually, pierced the heart of the younger brother, he sprayed blood all over the ground, most of them will not survive." I wanted to break her tendons and tendons for a little punishment, but when I saw her crying pitifully, my heart softened, and I gave her a good time, so that she could accompany her brother on the road without pain. You say, is this a good deed?" The bandit behind him praised: "Your brother is very kind, let the two of them get rid faster, and the road to Huangquan will not be lonely, that is really the blessing they cultivated in their previous life, they will be grateful to you under the Nine Springs!" said the two laughed together.
Wang Xue thought to herself: "I was afraid of some mountain demon before, but now it's ridiculous to think about it, your behavior is only a hundred times more cruel than the mountain demon, I am not even afraid of you, why should I be afraid of any mountain demon?" The bandit snorted and fell to the ground slowly. When the other robber suddenly saw the enemy, he was so frightened that he dropped the short knife in his hand, and when he saw that the person who came was only a little girl, his heart was a little relieved, and he wanted to shout and curse. Wang Xue was worried that he would scream and alarm others, and it would not be easy to go to the peak again, so he immediately sent out his left palm, pressed it on the man's mouth, and hit the man's heart with his right fist, only to see the man curled up on the ground with a painful face, and slowly fainted. Wang Xue raised her leg and kicked the two into the long grass and approached Zhongfeng.
When she got closer, she saw that it was a six-room wooden house, and Wang Xue thought that Barda had said that the cell was next to the second-story cliff, and if this was the first floor, then the second floor should be at the peak, so she quietly ran to the top without stopping. There are three large mansions built on the summit, and although they are wooden, they are much more magnificent than those in the middle peak. The Liangshan gang of thieves did not expect that anyone would dare to break in, and there were only a handful of night watchmen arranged, and Wang Xue sneaked into the mansion without difficulty.
Wang Xue walked around the house towards the cliff according to the direction Barda said, only to see ten small wooden houses standing not far from the cliff, the wooden houses were old, without the slightest light, and looked out of place behind the three mansions, which were expected to be prison cells.
Wang Xue leaned down and lay on the grass, the green robe of Bu Ziyi on her body was similar to the color of the grass, even in the daytime, no one may be able to notice, Wang Xue secretly rejoiced: "Thanks to my foresight, wearing this talisman robe, even if the enemy is ten times more alert, it will be difficult to find out my hideout." He leaned over and crawled around, and when he saw that there was no one around, he walked to the easternmost cell, knocked lightly on the cell door, called his mother a few times, but could not hear an answer, and saw through the small window on the door that the room was pitch black, as if there was no one. Wang Xue was slightly stunned, and walked to the second cell, but still couldn't see anyone inside. After checking eight cells in a row, but there was still no one to be seen, Wang Xue felt slightly disappointed, and thought: "Could it be that my mother has not been arrested, and she is still wandering around Bozi Town?" I saw a woman with a cloak sitting in the corner of the house, and it was clear in the moonlight, this woman was covered with blood, her face was languid, and although the clothes she was wearing were not clear, she was obviously dirty, and her appearance was very terrifying. Wang Xue felt a sudden shock in her heart, and thought: "You cruel bandits have bullied my mother so much, I will not let you go!" Seeing that the prison door was old, but there was an iron bolt inserted horizontally outside the wooden door, he was about to open the door to save his mother, and suddenly saw the woman lift up her sleeves and rub the four slender nails on her hands back and forth on the sleeves, and her heart moved: "Although I can't see her clothes clearly, but my mother's sleeves have been removed, and they are still handed over to me by the idiot, look at her like this, she has obviously been locked up here for a long time, she is not my mother!" But when she saw that the woman's face was fierce and her hair was messy, very similar to her mother, she immediately woke up: "Yes, she, like my mother, was also poisoned." So she didn't dare to let this person out easily, for fear that she would go crazy and hurt herself by mistake.
Suddenly, hearing the sound of the wind behind him, it seemed that something was moving with the wind, Wang Xue was in the tiger's den like a frightened bird, and hurriedly turned around to look, only to see a crow flying on a big poplar tree in the distance, and the leaves on the branches swayed with the wind and made a rattling sound, and there was nothing else. Wang Xue breathed a sigh of relief and turned around, only to see that the woman had already been deceived to the door, with a terrifying bloody face clinging to her in front of her, standing across the window from her. Wang Xue's surprise was really extraordinary, she screamed and took a few steps back. The woman was also startled, and pushed the cell door, and when she saw that the cell door would not open, she suddenly became angry, and slammed it with all her might, and made a terrible clicking sound from her mouth.
Wang Xue realized at this time that this woman was extremely tall, and with Zhang Guanhua's size, she was already standing out in the crowd, but this woman was at least one head taller than Zhang Guanhua. But when she saw the woman scratching and screaming at the cell door, her nails had broken three or five pieces, and her mouth was full of blood, thinking that she had bitten her tongue or broken her gums. Wang Xue's heart softened, and she said in a low voice: "Okay, okay, don't bother, I'll let you out, let's talk about it first, you can't hurt me after you come out." The woman was scratching at the cell door as if she had no soul, and she didn't know if she heard Wang Xue speak. Wang Xue was about to raise her hand to open the door bolt, when a voice suddenly said coldly: "If you release her, she will kill us all, and you don't want to live." Wang Xue was stunned in his heart, turned around and looked, and couldn't help but gasp, only to see that the person who spoke was a butterfly, worms and spiders stood on his left and right, and there were dozens of bandits behind him. It turned out that the crazy woman suddenly yelled, which had already alarmed many bandits, and everyone was discharged from the hospital to check and surrounded Wang Xue. After all, Wang Xue was young and lacked experience in defending against the enemy, so she was all focused on that crazy woman, and she neglected to pay attention to the situation behind her for a while. I heard the butterfly then cry coldly: "She has been locked up here for two years, and she has been tested by me many times, and she is a complete madman." ”
Wang Xue suddenly saw the enemy, and there were many of them, and she was very afraid in her heart, but she refused to give in, and shouted loudly: "You are so inhumane, I think you are crazy." Then the robbers came and arrested her. The worm stretched out his arms to stop him, laughed a few times, and shouted, "I don't need you! Wouldn't it ruin the prestige of my Liangshan Gang if you have to deal with a little girl and have a big group? With a gentle wave of his hand, he took a step forward with the butterfly and the spider.
