Chapter 108: Medium
Wang Shi was awakened by this explosion, and at this time the wind outside the door was blowing loudly, and he sat up with difficulty, and saw Zhang Tiekou put corn and a few sweet potatoes on the ground, and then made a pile of hay balls, and then walked over, overturned the offering table, and dismantled the table.
"Why are you dismantling the offering table, and you're not afraid of offending the mountain god. Wang Shi said with difficulty.
"Haha, how can the mountain god be so petty, isn't it just a broken table, he won't care. I'll borrow a few sweet potatoes to roast first, and when I have time, I'll buy a new table to pay him back. Zhang Tiekou said as he took out a fire fold to make a fire. At this time, it was pouring rain outside the house, and the roof tiles were beaten by the rain and the water was more than an inch deep, Wang Shi stood up from the ground, and thought to himself: I think I have always been cautious and have never been plotted, but I didn't expect that this time I was plotted by two children, and I almost died. Hey! What a treacherous river and lake! Looking at the heavy rain outside the door, bursts of white rain and mist shrouded the mountains in the distance, and the nearby pine forests were also invaded by this white rain and mist. A gust of wind blew, and Wang Shi shivered coldly, probably because of excessive blood loss.
"Don't look at it, come back and lie down, your wound is not healed, I just gave you the golden medicine, you can't move now, if you crack the wound, it will be troublesome." Zhang Tiekou put the wooden planks and table legs on the fire. While continuing: "Jianghu, that's it, often when you don't watch out, it may be a trap. Who would have thought that these two children had knives on them. ”
Wang Shi didn't speak, turned his head to look out the door at the rain, the rain was getting heavier, and the sky was low because of the dark clouds, and it seemed that the night had come early.
"Come and eat sweet potatoes, it's cooked, it's so fragrant. Zhang Tiekou took out the sweet potatoes and corn from the fire with a wooden stick, and the fragrance of sweet potatoes wafted over, Wang Shi turned around and came closer, squatted down, sat on the ground, picked up a sweet potato on the ground and patted the ash on it with both hands, a little hot, and kept blowing with his mouth, for a while, carefully broke a piece with his hands and sent it into his mouth. While eating, he said: "Well, it's really fragrant, I think of when I was a child, it was also this season, I was by the river with my classmates, burned sweet potatoes to eat, and picked up some river shells by the river beach, and I could eat them with a fire." I really miss those days. ”
"Haha, my roasted sweet potato brings back memories to you. ”
The two of them ate sweet potatoes, and stayed in the temple all night, the rain kept falling, and it fell more violently at night, and they felt a little cold when they slept on the ground, and when the day was almost dawn, the fire next to them was also extinguished, and the mosquitoes were buzzing around, and they couldn't sleep. Wang Shi got up early and watched the heavy rain outside the door. Today, Wang Shi felt that the wound was not so painful, Zhang Tiekou also got up, and said to Wang Shi: "You take off your clothes quickly, I will take them to the puddle outside to wash, and then dry them on the fire, and when the weather is clear, we will go back to Bianjing first, heal the wounds on your body, and then go to Caixia Villa." ”
Wang Shi took off the bloody clothes, handed them to Zhang Tiekou, and when he felt a little cold, he turned and came in, walked to the fire, blew the fire with his mouth, grabbed some hay from the side, lit the fire, and put some wooden sticks in it. After a while, the fire was blazing. Zhang Tiekou went to the puddle by the temple to wash his clothes, and after a while, the clothes on his body were wet with the rain that drifted over, and the cloth towel on his head was also wet, and the upper half of his clothes were a little wet. Zhang Tiekou took Wang Shi's clothes, came in, and hung them on the edge of the fire. The two of them ate a few roasted corn that they hadn't finished yesterday. Wang Shi felt a little anxious, and thought about finding a place to relieve himself, but there was no toilet on the left and right of this mountain temple. I can only run out of the temple with my upper body naked, thinking: If I relieve my hands under the eaves around the temple, it will definitely stink, which will collide with the gods and pollute the environment. Thinking about it, I put my heart sideways, braved the heavy rain and rushed straight into the woods in front, and I was happy that the branches and leaves of the pine trees were thick, and it was raining heavily outside, and the forest was just drizzling down. At this time, the bandage wrapped around the wound was wet by the rain, and in the afternoon, the rain stopped, and Wang Shi's clothes were dried, but it was not early, Zhang Tiekou took the clothes and put them on for Wang Shi, and looked at the sky outside: "Look, it's late today, and I'll rest here for the night, and I'll go tomorrow morning." I'm going to the next field and buckle a few sweet potatoes. Break a few corns. ”
"If you have a few more sweet potatoes, don't break the corn. The corn is now old, and in the morning my teeth ached from eating the roasted corn. ”
"Hahaha! Zhang Tiekou said and went to the field to deduct sweet potatoes. After a while, he carried seven or eight large sweet potatoes in his pocket, all the size of a bowl. "Haha, look at how big this sweet potato is. Zhang Tiekou put the sweet potato in the fire, and went outside to find some dry branches, and threw them aside. The two closed the temple door.
Wang Shi ate two sweet potatoes, then fell asleep on the grass, and unconsciously, he only felt his mind wandering. I returned to Xiangyang and walked in the fields with my sister, when suddenly my sister's body floated up, drifting farther and farther, Wang Shi reached out to grab it.
Zhang Tiekou, woken up by Wang Shi, sat up, and only heard Wang Shi shouting: "Senior sister, junior sister, don't go, Duoduo! don't go, don't leave me." His hands were still waving, as if he was going to grab something, Zhang Tiekou touched his hand on Wang Shi's forehead, it was hot. Xin said, "Oh no, most likely he went out naked this morning, and his wounds were wet in the rain." It's terrible, if you have tetanus. ”
Zhang Tiekou got up and took off his clothes, covered Wang Shi's body, never slept all night, sat next to Wang Shi and took care of it, and when it was dawn, Zhang Tiekou saw that Wang Shi was still delirious, and wanted to pick herbs for him to boil, but there was no pot, turned his head and saw the incense burner on the ground, came to the idea, hurriedly dumped the ashes in the incense burner, went to the pit outside, and washed it. Raise the fire. I went out to find some herbs, and after the mountain temple, I found some medicine for sweating and relieving the surface, and saw a big mulberry tree, which is the most good medicine for clearing heat. He peeled some bark, took it back and boiled it together, and fed it to Wang Shi. Gradually, my forehead became less hot, and the fever subsided. In the afternoon, the sun also came out, and knowing the cheerful chirping of the elm tree next to him, Wang Shi woke up. Opened his eyes and looked around, next to Zhang Tiekou squatting, digging sweet potatoes out of the fire, Wang Shi looked at the golden sunlight outside the door shining on the woods and the grass. Weakly struggling to his feet and sitting up. Zhang Tiekou turned his head and saw Wang Shi getting up, and said with a smile: "Wake up." Do you feel better? ”
"Well! What's wrong with me. How long did you sleep. Why, it's already afternoon. ”
"You, you slept for half a day, so let's just rest for another night, and go back tomorrow. Eat a sweet potato first to replenish your physical strength. Zhang Tiekou said and handed over a sweet potato. Wang Shi took the sweet potato, broke it open and ate it slowly. I feel like I've recovered a lot. The two stayed in the temple for another night, early the next morning, stepped out of the mountain temple, took the road to Bianjing City, hunger and thirst on the road, stayed at night, crossed several streams, walked through several plum forests, walked through green trees and willow embankments, waded through the grass, and went to the Xinghua Village Hotel, walked on the road for three days, Fang entered Bianjing, Wang Shiyi walked to the welcome restaurant outside the Guozi prison, Zhang Tiekou entered together, and the shopkeeper hurriedly came to greet: "Where has the son been these days?"
"If you have something to do, you can bring us some wine and food. I've been tired enough for days, and we have to rest early after eating. The king sat down.
After a while, the shopkeeper put the wine and food on the table, Wang Shi and Zhang Tiekou, there was no wine and meat for a few hours, at this time, seeing this hot soup and hot rice, they gobbled up a drunk and satisfied: "Dao Chang, this wine is also full, go upstairs with me and sleep well, haha!"
Zhang Tiekou said: "That's exactly how it should be. The two of them were about to get up and go upstairs, when they suddenly knocked on the door and came in a small Taoist priest, who was in his twenties: "Uncle!" The young Taoist priest gave Zhang Tiekou a salute as soon as he came in.
Wang Shi and Zhang Tiekou both stopped. Wang Shi looked at this Taoist priest in surprise. Zhang Tiekou said: "Why are you here?" ”
"Uncle Shi, I don't want you to come there, I am on the order of my ancestor to visit my uncle. ”
"What is the ancestor looking for me?" Zhang Tiekou asked puzzled.
"The disciple doesn't know, he just said that he called you back to the mountain, there is something important. The disciple didn't dare to ask more. Some time ago, I heard from friends in the rivers and lakes that I saw my uncle in Bianjing, and my disciple looked for you in the city for half a month, but I finally found it today. ”
Zhang Tiekou said: "Since this is the case, I have to go back with you first." He turned to Wang Shi and said, "I can't accompany you anymore." There must be something important for the master to call me. I need to rush back to the Wudang Sect. ”
"Dao Chief, take care all the way. See you again on a different day. Wang Shi got up to send him off, and suddenly remembered that he still had a donkey, and then ordered the shopkeeper: "Go to the back and take my donkey out." After a while, the man took the donkey out, and Wang Shi said: "This donkey followed me all the way from Xiangyang to here, and today I will give this donkey to the Taoist chief." It's also a piece of my heart. ”
Zhang Tiezui, without delay, took the reins, Shi Libi turned over and rode on a donkey, and went to the south gate with the little Taoist.
Wang Shi stood at the door and watched Zhang Tiekou's back disappear into the crowd, and he burst into tears, if it wasn't for Zhang Daochang this time, he would definitely die at the hands of the Tsing Yi Society, and in the past few days, he had to decoct himself again. Hey, how can I repay this great kindness?
Wang Shi lamented at the door, turned to go upstairs, and as soon as he lay down, there was another knock on the door, Wang Shi was very tired, and asked, "Who?"
Chen Jiayuan's voice outside the door said excitedly: "It's me, Chen Jiayuan, you are finally back, I have come to the inn every day to see it these days." ”
Wang Shi got up and opened the door, let Chen Jiayuan into the room and sat down, Chen Jiayuan looked up and saw a hole in Wang Shi's left and right chest, and asked in surprise: "Why are the clothes torn?" ”
Wang Shi told how he accepted two righteous sons, how he was stabbed in the chest by these two children, and how he had been rescued by Zhang Tiekou, Chen Jiayuan listened to it, and sighed: "Hey! It's really people's hearts are not ancient, the rivers and lakes are sinister, first win your sympathy, then win your trust, and finally take advantage of your defenselessness, suddenly give you a knife." That's a vicious plan. It's hard to guard against, if it weren't for this Dao Chang, I'm afraid that my life would be gone. ”
The two sighed with emotion, and Chen Jiayuan said: "You have injuries on your body now, simply, where you live with me, you can let Langzhong Li Yusheng treat your wounds." There is no one waiting in this inn sooner or later. What if something happens? ”
Wang Shi nodded yes, and with Chen Jiayuan going downstairs, he returned the store money, and came to Yizhongyun Mansion with two burdens, and lived with Chen Jiayuan.
Wang Shi's body was well in Yizhong Yunfu, and it was already the first day of the ninth month at this time, looking at the two wounds on his chest, they were as good as ever, leaving only two scars. In the morning, Wang Shi got up, said goodbye to Chen Jiayuan, called Ma Long to give a few words, left Yizhongyun Mansion, went to the city to buy a horse, and rode in the future, out of Bianjing City all the way to ride a horse and gallop, only in the evening, he came to the village where he stayed last time, Wang Shi saw that it was late, got off the horse, walked to the village, only to see the door of the house open last time, did not see a figure: "Is there anyone, is there anyone." After shouting twice, no one came out to reply. Wang Shi tied the reins to a small tree next to the horse, and walked into the house, there was no light in the house, the darkness became more and more, and by the dim light outside, he looked at the room, and the table in the middle was covered with dust, and a few cobwebs blocked the door of the bedroom on the left and right. It looks like no one has lived in it for a long time. The furnishings in the room are the same as when they left. After looking at it once, he sighed once, Wang Shi came out, led the horse and continued to walk towards the village, not a few steps, the front roadside door to the door of the two households, a middle-aged man sitting on a chair under the eaves on the left hand side, serving a bowl of rice, eating, on the main hall of the door, sitting an old woman, sitting below a young woman in her thirties, wearing a peach-colored dress. Next to her was an eight- or nine-and-a-half-year-old girl.
On the right side of the road, there is an old man with white hair standing in front of the door, followed by a middle-aged man, and an old mother in the house is cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, as if she has just finished eating. Wang Shi looked left and right, walked to the door of the door on his right hand and hugged his fist and saluted: "Xiaosheng passed by here, every night, I want to go to the old man's house to rest for the night, and I will leave tomorrow morning, and I am willing to pay the house money." ”
The old man said: "In the world, who walks on the top of the house, although the house is not wide, but it can still live, as long as you don't dislike the rudimentary people in the countryside." ”
"It's a blessing to be taken in by the old man, how dare you, but resentment. The old man ordered the middle-aged man behind him to come and pick up Wang Shi's horse and lead him back. Wang Shi stepped forward, and the old man let Wang Shi into the living room and sat down.
The old man turned to the old mother and said, "This guest, you haven't eaten yet, you can quickly make some dishes to entertain." Don't be slow. The old mother agreed, and went to the kitchen next to her.
"I don't know what this boy is called?"
Wang Shi clasped his fists and said, "Xiaosheng's surname is Wang Mingshi." Dare to ask the old man with his surname. ”
The old man smiled: "Haha!
The two exchanged a few words, and the young man who led the horse came back, walked to the hall, and sat on the chair opposite Wang Shi, and the old man said, "This future life is my son." Wang Shi also clasped his fists and saluted. At this time, the old mother fried two bowls of bacon with rice, and put it on the table in the future, and then brought a pot of wine and invited Wang Shi to eat. Wang Shi got up and sat at the table, picked up the chopsticks in his right hand and was about to eat, when he turned around and saw the back of the old mother turning around, and suddenly, when he walked under the long skirt, half of his boots were exposed. The boots were a pair of cowhide boots. If you don't say anything, you have to pay a hundred and ten taels of silver, just now she was wearing a long skirt, so she didn't pay attention to it. It's just that this old mother in the countryside can afford to wear such good cowhide boots. And these boots are not worn by women. Could it be that this old mother is a man pretending?
Wang Shi was beating a drum in his heart, but he didn't eat with chopsticks, and the old man smiled: "What's the matter, this country's coarse tea and light rice are not the right for the child's appetite?"
Wang Shi looked back at the old man carefully, and saw that although his beard was white, his hands and feet were very strong, and he did not have the old appearance of Long Zhong at all. Look at the middle-aged man again, his muscles are strong. It's not like the average farmer. The more suspicious I became. Nai smiled and said to the old man: "Xiaosheng has always had a small appetite, how can I finish eating so much rice, quickly ask the old mother to bring a bowl, let me divide half of it, and eat it with Ling Lang." ”
The old man excused himself and said: "We have already eaten, this meal is specially made for you, don't worry if you can't finish it, it's a big deal, it's hot tomorrow morning, give it to my son for breakfast." If the son doesn't eat the leftovers, just throw them away. I grow it myself, and I don't miss this bit of food. ”
Wang Shi laughed: "Since that's the case, I'm not welcome." Xiaosheng is in a hurry at this time, can you tell me where the toilet is, it is convenient for me to go to the toilet. ”
The old man instructed the man next to him: "You quickly lead the prince to the toilet." ”
The strong man got up and led Wang Shi out of the living room, turned to the back of the house, and stopped in front of a small room: "Here is the latrine, you can do it yourself." After speaking, he turned around and walked back, Wang Shi walked into the latrine, and went to his arms to find three immortal pills and eat them.
Pretending to be convenient in the latrine, he delayed for a while, turned back, walked into the living room and hugged his fists and said: "This internal urgency is really unbearable, and now it's very good, hahaha." As he spoke, Wang Shi sat down and ate, ate a bowl of rice, two bowls of bacon, and drank all the wine. At this moment, the old mother laughed and ripped off the mask on her head, but it was a middle-aged man, who was the sharp-beaked monkey cheek Steward Cheng some time ago. Wang Shidao: "Steward Cheng!"
The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked Steward Cheng said: "I'm not a Cheng steward, I'm the Bianjing branch rudder in the Tsing Yi Club, and the helmsman Cheng Da." You've eaten these meals of mine, and you're not going to pour them down. Pour, pour, pour!" It turned out that Cheng Da secretly sweated in this meal. Wang Shi had already been wary of eating the immortal powder in advance.
Wang Shi pretended to be infected with sweat medicine and fell to the ground, he meant to pretend to be turned over, and these minions of the Tsing Yi Society must carry him to Caixia Villa to see Long Yunfei.
