Chapter 32 Below
Standing in front of the mountain and overlooking the horse, the mountain is full of red and all the layers of forests are dyed, riding the horse up slowly, circling and winding forward, traveling through five or six miles, when looking up, but see: the pine towering wind shakes the shadow, and the ancient cypress covers the sun like clouds.
Teng basket around the dead branches,
Thorns streak in the jungle. Fox rabbits chase in search of companions, and birds fly into the forest at dusk.
The mountain scenery is picturesque, like a song, like a dancing girl, and like a resentful woman in loneliness, telling the sorrow of autumn. While watching the mountain scenery, riding a horse slowly, and walking more than ten miles of mountain roads, the remnant sun hung obliquely on the side of the mountain, and a few floating clouds in the western sky were like blood and red. Looking at the road ahead, I didn't see a single person. Wang Shi couldn't help but feel a little furious in his heart, and secretly wondered in his heart: Not to mention any wild beasts, even if he couldn't deserve the dew in the mountains, he would be wandering alone, and if he felt the wind and cold again, how could he be born?
I was more anxious, so I had to urge the horse to go fast, and went straight to the second watch, a round of Emei moon in the night sky, counting the cold stars, illuminating the road ahead slightly white, the cold wind blew in the night, Wang Shi's clothes were thin, and he couldn't help but shiver, and he was hesitating, and he faintly saw a few tiled houses in front of the col under the moonlight. He said with his hand: "Finally, I have a family, so I can go and stay overnight." He urged the horse to the front of the house, and when he looked up, his heart was half cold. Mud wall and green tiles, three main houses, a hut on the left and right, the right is the kitchen, there are three earthen stoves, a broken pot is placed obliquely on the stove, the roof tiles are ruined, there are some Yin Chen Artemisia in front of the stove, there will be more than one person high, there is a stone trough in the hut on the left, and there is a dung pit next to it. In the middle is the hall, and the two firewood doors are in tatters, and the left and right sides are crooked. It seems to have been uninhabited for a long time. Wang Shi went to the hut on the right and found a few bundles of dead branches, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, so he took out a fire fold in the hut and lit a bonfire. He led the horse into the kitchen, tied the reins to the post, and went to the baggage to take out a cotton coat for the winter, and draped it over his body. Bring some hay, spread it on the ground, and sit on the floor, leaning against the wall. From time to time, add some dead branches to the fire. After sitting for a long time, I felt sleepy, the mountain wind blew, and my body was a little cold, but I had a nightmare, and I woke up suddenly, and I had palpitations in my heart. It is estimated that it is the fourth watch, but I can't sleep, look at the bonfire on the ground, only some red charcoal remains, and take some dead branches to add to the fire, to the fire for a while, feel bored, walk out of the hut and look around, the dark mountains and forests in the distance are extremely eerie and terrifying. I was looking at the sound of rustling in the main room. Looking back at the two firewood doors, there was a black hole in the crack of the door, and a cold wind was coming out. The more doubts I had in my heart, and after thinking about it again, there was really no need to go into the house to take risks, so I was out until dawn, in the district. Looking back, not far away, on the black mound, a green fire lit up, causing people's hair to stand on end! The green fire floated around the mound for a while before it faded away. Wang Shi knew in his heart that this thing was the rumored GUI fire, which was the phosphorus in the bones of animals or people after death, volatilizing from the soil and producing spontaneous combustion. Although it looks scary, I used to see it in the summer cemetery when I was in my hometown. The mound must have been a desolate grave.
Wang Shi looked outside for a while, then walked back to the hut by the campfire, sat against the wall, and exercised his strength. After two more hours, the sky outside gradually turned white, and Wang Shi got up to put out the fire. When I went out to see, the sky was already bright, led the horse and continued to walk forward, walked straight for more than 20 miles, I saw a village and town, entered the town, all were still closed and did not get up, I couldn't walk a few steps, I saw an inn, the wine was hanging high, the door of the store was closed, and I went up to knock on the door. After a while, the shopkeeper opened the door and said, "This master, where did this fight come from, so early!"
"I'm coming from the north. Not to mention, last night, I spent the night in that deserted house on the mountain. I have no place to eat, and the horses are hungry and tired, so I will bring some food and wine to eat, and pull the horses to feed them. ”
The shopkeeper took the reins of the horse and led it to the backyard: "Master, this courage is really big enough, the north mountain you said is called the Immortal Mountain, and this mountain is fifty miles north and south, and there are no people. Generally, if you want to pass the time, you need to go up the mountain in the morning and walk to the side in the evening before you can go down the mountain. ”
The shopkeeper took the horse to the stable and threw some forage and soybeans, turned around and entered the house, called the cook up, made soup and vegetables, was busy with a pillar of incense, brought a bowl of porridge, a few steamed buns came out, and brought out a plate of beef, a pot of old wine, Wang Shi was very hungry, took a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, drank two bowls of porridge, and then raised his spiritual head. Turning back to the shopkeeper, he said, "You just said that there are no people on the mountain for fifty miles, but what happened to the deserted house I stayed in last night?"
The shopkeeper wiped the table while wiping the table: "The family you mentioned, a year ago, suddenly the whole family of five died overnight, and some passing guests knocked on the door to spend the night, and saw five dead people lying in the room. Hurriedly went down the mountain to report to the village, the next day was taking the work to see, there were no external injuries on the body, and there were no signs of poisoning, and the cause of death was not found, so I had to report to the county government and make a headless public case. He buried the body of a family of five not far from the door, and when he passed by the road, he could see the mound on the side of the road, which was the grave of the family. Later, many guests who walked at night saw a green fire on the mound and hill in front of the door, and they were half frightened to death. Since then, no one dares to walk at night in Xianren Mountain. ”
Wang Shi laughed and said: "It's just phosphorus in the bones, volatilized to produce spontaneous combustion, there is really nothing to be afraid of." ”
Xiao Er said: "That is, you are bold!"
"Excuse me, little second brother, what kind of ground is this? How to go to Qizhou. ”
"This place is called the three-way ditch, there are four roads here, the north side passes through the Xianren Mountain to Liangzhou, to the east thirty miles to the east to the east fork town, to the west thirty miles is Wangchuan Town, the south goes straight to the official road forty miles, can go to Liangdang County, the guest officer goes to Qizhou is the right way. "Wang Shi had breakfast, because he didn't sleep last night, he was mentally tired, and he needed to take care of the horse. I stayed at the inn and left early the next day.
On the second day, the horse galloped, it was almost noon, and it was almost noon, and it was already at the north gate of Liangdang County, and saw that the market was densely populated, and the traffic was endless, and the horse slowly entered the city. In the street market, do buy and sell, play the power of the show, shouting and buying and selling the sound of one after another, Wang Shi walked all the way, through the street through the market, to the south gate, there is an inn on the right side of the street, the door hangs a black red signboard: Ruyue Restaurant.
Wang Shi entered the store, the shopkeeper came over to lead the horse to the back trough, and the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile on his face: "The guest officer is sharp, or is he staying in the store?"
"Come to an upper room and eat the food first. Pad the belly. After speaking, he sat down at an empty table next to him, and after a while, the shopkeeper used a tray to make half a catty of beef, a roast chicken, a pot of wine, and half a bowl of rice. Wang Shi took care of himself while nibbling on roast chicken and drinking. At the time of comfort, four people came from outside the store, the first old man, riding a lame donkey, wearing a green cloth shirt, with a bun on his head, hugging his back, and his mouth full of yellow teeth when he spoke. There was a small child in front of him. There are two young men in the back, the left-hand boy, seven feet long, with a shaved shape, wearing a white satin gown and a red soft-winged scarf, and the right-hand boy is quite plump, with a big round face and a soap-colored soft-winged scarf. The boy bowed down and squatted beside the donkey, and the two young men rolled the saddle and dismounted, and came over to support the old man's arm left and right, and his state was very humble. The yellow-toothed old man slowly stepped on the child's back, and then got down from the donkey. The two young men supported each other and entered the store together. Sitting at an empty table opposite Wang Shi, the shopkeeper hurriedly came over to say hello, the round-faced young man ordered a few vegetables and vegetables, asked for two pots of wine, and helped the old man to sit on the top, the two young men made amends to each other left and right, and talked very respectfully, the little boy was eleven or twelve years old, with two horns on his head and a short shirt of green cloth. Holding the flask in both hands, he stood at the table and poured wine. Without squinting, he lowered his head, stared at the wine glass on the table, and saw that the old man had drunk a glass, and hurriedly filled the wine jug.
The round-faced young man got up to toast, the old man drank, and the boy next to him hurriedly filled the empty cup, and the wine was poured in a hurry, splashing a lot on the table, and the yellow-toothed old man was disgusted: "It's always careless to do things, learn more from your senior brother!"
The round-faced boy hurriedly sat up, got up and walked in front of Tong'er, opened his bow left and right, and two big slaps made the child's cheeks red, his eyes were full of stars, and he stood with his hands trembling. Then the thin young man next to him grabbed the child's cheek with his hand and twisted it vigorously. The pain made him burst into tears, and the thin boy said: "Let you have a long memory, see if you dare to do things so carelessly in the future!"
The yellow-toothed old man sandwiched a chopstick braised pork, tilted his head, squinted his eyes, and chewed intoxicated. The two young men taught the child a lesson, and came back to persuade him to drink, and the child trembled, wiping his tears with his sleeves and serving carefully. The yellow-toothed old man stretched out his index finger and poked it at the door of the child's head: "Next time, if you dare to do something, you won't be able to pick your skin." ”
The boy was so frightened that he lowered his head and trembled more and more and did not dare to answer.
Wang Shi was eating on the opposite side and observing attentively, feeling a little unfair for this boy.
The old man with yellow teeth and the two young men ate for more than an hour before they stopped, and the round-faced boy instructed the little boy to pour the remaining vegetables and rice on the table, take them to the empty table next to them, and sit down to eat. The boy hurriedly finished eating, and hurriedly came over and stood beside him. The two young men gossiped for a while, and the thin boy pinched the child's ears with his hands and twisted them vigorously, and he cried in pain. The old man and the two sons reprimanded the boy again. The old man sat up, the two sons bowed down and hugged their fists to give salutes, hurriedly came over to help, the boy followed behind, walked to the door, the boy quickly bowed and squatted beside the donkey, the old man stepped on his back, the sons on both sides held the left and right arms, the old man stepped on the back of the donkey, and then the child rode on a donkey next to him, and the two young men each rode a white horse, and the old man hugged his fist and saluted, and then whipped away.
Wang Shi saw it in his eyes, saw that the old man with yellow teeth was lame on the back of a donkey, and the bag was full of yellow and white things, and saw him bullying this boy like this, and secretly thought in his heart: This old man with yellow teeth must be the rich man there. If you rob him of his money, it will be a lesson to him. I made up my mind, calculated the money for the store, told the little man in the shop to lead the horse to the front door, not to be tired, pulled the saddle on the horse, beat two whips, sat down on the red horse, turned over the hooves and galloped down to the south, walked five or six miles, and saw the yellow-toothed old man hunched over from afar, sitting on the back of a lame donkey and walking slowly, and the little boy riding a donkey followed behind.
Wang Shi chased closer, turned straight to the front of the old man with yellow teeth, gathered the silk reins and stopped the horse, and shouted: "You old man, quickly hand over the silver and spare your life!"
The old man with yellow teeth was riding a lame donkey, squinting and dozing, and when he saw Wang Shi blocking the way with his horse in front of him, he laughed and said, "If you still want to rob me, then see if you have the ability!"
The boy lowered his head and sat on the back of the donkey in silence.
When Wang Shi heard the old man say this, he secretly thought in his heart: "It's really a joke to rob an old man like you like Longzhong, what skills do you need?" Then he replied in a loud voice: "You old man is so unaware, if I make a move, you will die." ”
The old man with yellow teeth laughed: "Young people are really good at joking, what are you capable of, and take it out!
Wang Shi thought that if he got off the horse and shot him, but he couldn't do it, it would be easier for him to put a few sleeve arrows and end him up. He raised his left hand, faced the old man at the door, and said in his mouth: "Look at the arrow!" The old man fell on his back on the donkey's back. Wang Shi said: "Just now you handed over the silver and didn't listen, but now you have given your life." After speaking, he was about to urge him to go to the Bo to get the silver, but he saw the old man sit up again, holding the sleeve arrow shot by Wang Shi in his right hand: "Young man, you have such a little ability, and you still want to take the old man's silver, haha!"
Wang Shi was taken aback, didn't he see that he had been shot in the face just now. Why is the sleeve arrow in the hand: "Count you awesome, look at the arrow" Wang Shi raised his left arm to shoot three sleeve arrows in a row, only to see the old man grab the front one with his left hand, fall backwards, raise his left foot, clamp the second one with his big finger, and stand up, at this time the third sleeve arrow has arrived, just raised up, and is shooting at the old man's mouth. Wang Shi laughed, "This time I was hit by an arrow." "Just finished laughing. But he saw that the old man with yellow teeth sat up again, and his mouth was bared, and it turned out that the third sleeve arrow was bitten by him with his teeth. The yellow-toothed old man took the arrow from his mouth: "Young man, what other tricks do you have?" ”
Wang Shi saw that the old man's body was very fast, and he was able to change his body shape between the electric light and flint, so he first turned over and took the second sleeve arrow, and immediately got up and grabbed the third sleeve arrow with his teeth. I secretly thought in my heart: "But I met a master, so I should leave quickly." Then he clasped his fists on the horse and saluted: "If you are offended, you will ride the horse away." ”
The old man with yellow teeth laughed and said, "Your sleeve arrows will be returned to you!" said and threw the four sleeve arrows in his hand back to Wang Shihou's heart.
Wang Shi heard the sound of the sleeve arrow breaking the wind behind him, turned upside down, and saw four sleeve arrows close to the front, one copy in his hand. Hurriedly urged the horse to gallop away. Anxious like a fish that slips through the net, busy like a lost dog. went straight to Feng County before staying in the horse.
I found an inn in the county town and stayed, and after dinner, I went back to my room early and went to sleep.
Wang Shi just went upstairs with his front foot, the old man with yellow teeth and Tong'er, followed up with the back foot in the store, and the shopkeeper led the two donkeys to the back trough and came back to greet him. "What are the two guest officers eating?" ”
The old man with yellow teeth sat hunched over at the table, clasped his hands on his teeth, and glanced back at the shopkeeper: "You go and put the pocket on my donkey's back into the room where I live, it is full of silver! Then bring some meat to eat and drink. ”
"But please rest assured, the silver will not be missing a single ingot from you, I'll go and bring it into the room for you, wait a while!" The shopkeeper went to the back of the trough, and muttered in his heart: This strange old man, other people's money is afraid of being known, and he has to hide it, he is good, shouting it out so loudly, for fear that others will not know.
When the shopkeeper went to the donkey to carry the bag on his back, he first took it with one hand, but he didn't take it, and then he used two hands to lift it, but he still couldn't lift it, and he was surprised to go to the outside of the bag with his hand, which was full of hard Bangbang big ingots and silver, and went to the kitchen to call the cook, and the two of them untied the bag from the donkey's back together. The cook said, "It's so heavy, how can this donkey stand it, even the horses are carrying it hard." ”
After eating, the yellow-toothed old man threw his chopsticks on the table, tilted his head sideways and clasped his fingers on his teeth.
When Tong'er saw that the old man with yellow teeth had finished eating, he hurriedly put the leftovers in his bowl together with some leftovers from the plate, and grabbed the chopsticks used by the old man with yellow teeth and ate them.
The yellow-toothed old man squinted at Tong'er, had just eaten the bowl clean, got up and shouted, "Shop!"
"What do you have to say to the guest officer?" the shopkeeper saw the old man calling, and hurriedly came over to agree.
"Take us to the room to rest!" said the old man with yellow teeth, and he sat up, and the boy hurriedly went up to help.
The shopkeeper led the way in front and arranged the old man and Tong'er next door to Wang Shi's room. There is only a thin wall of wooden planks in between. Wang Shi was lying on the bed sleeping, and suddenly heard the sound of talking from the next room, but it was the voice of the yellow-toothed old man who listened carefully, and he was shocked, "Why did they come to live in this store, wouldn't they be following themselves?" So he got up and walked to the wall, put his ear to the wall and listened, only to hear the old man with yellow teeth say, "Go and pour the water for washing your feet!"
After a while, I heard Tong'er walking back, the old man with yellow teeth told Tong'er to pour tea to drink, and then heard the sound of the two going to bed, and after listening for a while, the old man with yellow teeth sang in his mouth: The boy on the wall listens attentively, tilts his head to his ears and turns his tendons.
Ask you why this is like that, and it is difficult to understand curiosity.
Wang Shi tilted his head at this time and put his ear on the bi, and listened to it for more than an hour, when he suddenly heard the old man say this, and his heart was secretly shocked: Could it be that I put my ear on the wall to eavesdrop, and he also knew, but he did not make a half-minute sound. Most of them are this yellow-toothed old man, and he suspects that someone is listening to him, so that this plan to knock the mountain and shock the tiger. Although his feet were numb, he refused to rest. Then I heard the old man sing: I lie on the bed and you stand on the wall,
The body is like frying and the heart is panicked.
If I don't sleep like I sleep,
There is no obstacle to the heart flying.
Wang Shi could hear it, could this old man with yellow teeth still see me through the wall!
