Chapter 45: The Lone Lamp Shines on the Dead

Xianglu Island, this small island in the middle of the river, is surprisingly dark on this night without moonlight. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Except for a few bits and pieces of starlight in the sky, it was almost all pitch black.

The wildflowers and the swaying of wild mud in the daytime sunlight have also been dimmed, and the birds that still fly over the island in the evening are nowhere to be seen.

The vast river surface is empty and vast, and everything is immersed in a deep dream, quietly giving birth to an unrestful dawn. Only on the shore of the incense burner island, a fishing lantern is still lit on a lonely small boat, still groping forward, accompanying this quiet night.

There were two people on this small boat.

A young man in his twenties wore a black silk scarf and a collared white Shu brocade robe, and another boy of fifteen or sixteen wore a green gauze shirt.

These two people don't look like fishermen.

At this moment, the two were also preparing to find a place to anchor the boat, and slowly sailed the boat towards the incense burner island. But they only felt a gust of wind and waves, and a heavy object hit the hull, and the two young men didn't care, but it was another heavy blow, knocking the hull of the boat from side to side, as if there were a dozen or so people under the water at the same time with a vertical push.

The young man said, "Strange thing tonight, I don't know what is hitting the boat underwater. ”

The young man said, "Master, could it be that there is a ghost under the ship?"

The young man laughed and said, "You only have a ghost in your heart." ”

The young man asked again, "Master, do you think there are ghosts in this world?"

The young man smiled: "I said that the Buddha and the ghost are in your heart. ”

The boy let out an "oh", as if he couldn't understand what he was saying.

The young man said: "If you look at people with the heart of a Buddha, there are Buddhas everywhere, and if you look at people with the eyes of ghosts, everyone is a ghost." ”

The two were talking, only to see another gust of wind, and a loud "bang" at the bottom of the boat.

The young man said, "Lu Dengliang, go and see, what is the situation?"

The young man named Lu Dengliang really opened the canopy window, and when he looked closely, he saw a dead man floating on the water.

Lu Dengliang was shocked and said, "Master, it turned out to be a dead man who was hitting our ship." ”

The young man also poked his head out to look, and sure enough, he saw a man face down, floating on the water, swayed by the night wind.

The young man said, "Let's go and get him on the boat and have a look." ”

Lu Dengliang said: "Master, a dead corpse, what are you going to do with him?"

The young man said, "Since you recognize me as a master, I will teach you to be kind in life." As the saying goes, those who make good friends with good people are morally successful, those who have good intentions are at peace, and those who do good deeds are prosperous. ”

Lu Dengliang said: "Let's take care of this idle matter, if we are seen and falsely accuse us of killing people, what should we do?"

The young man said: "The Buddha and Bodhisattva live in the world to save all sentient beings, and use their own bodies to feed the eagle and feed the tiger, so that the gains and losses are not counted. How can we, fearing the suspicion of others, fail to save others because of a small mistake?"

Lu Dengliang said: "Then why did the Buddha and Bodhisattva sacrifice themselves to feed the animals so carelessly?"

The young man said: "This is the Buddha's compassion and compassion, and he has no time to sympathize with others. ”

Lu Dengliang said: "Is there any benefit to doing good deeds?"

The young man said: "The good deeds of a person are like the grass of a spring garden, which does not see its growth, but increases day by day, and those who do evil are like a stone for sharpening knives, and they do not see its loss, but they lose every day." ”

Lu Dengliang thought for a moment and asked again, "Then how do you do good deeds?"

The young man said, "When a man does good, when he sees him falling from the east, he lifts him up from the east, and when he sees him falling from the west, he lifts him up from the west, and when he sees him standing in the middle, he pushes him up." Let's catch this person first, if there is still salvation, it is better to build a seventh-level floating slaughter. ”

Lu Dengliang listened, took off his clothes, jumped into the water shirtless, and "plopped".

This man was very good at water, and he came up from under the water and lifted the man in the river.

When the young man on the boat saw this, he held a fire in one hand and grabbed the man's shirt with the other, and carried him onto the boat.

The young man immediately saw the knife on the corpse's back.

This corpse is none other than Du Shenfei.

The young man probed Du Shenfei's pulse and said, "It's okay! There should still be salvation, and the body is still soft." Then he said to Lu Dengliang: "You quickly take my medicine box and take a small bench." ”

Lu Dengliang immediately entered the cabin and took a box and a small bench.

The young man held up Du Shenfei's body and asked Lu Dengliang to put the bench under the single abdomen, so that his waist was towering.

The young man asked Lu Dengliang to open Du Shenfei's mouth so that the water in Du Shenfei's abdomen could flow out, and at the same time rowed the boat to the shore of Xianglu Island.

Lu Dengliang said: "Master, what's the use of opening his mouth?"

The young man said: "Because this man was salvaged from the water, his belly was filled with water, and he was about to die of suffocation, so he must try to spit out the water first, and then make the blood flow and the breath stretch, so that there is hope for life." ”

Lu Dengliang nodded.

The young man asked Lu Dengliang, "Are there any ducks on the boat?"

Lu Dengliang said: "I killed one the day before yesterday and ate it, and now there are two more on the boat." ”

The young man said, "Take one quickly, and take a knife by the way." ”

Lu Dengliang immediately entered the cabin, walked out with a knife in one hand and the duck's wings in the other.

The young man pulled out the knife on Du Shenfei's back, took the knife and the duck, cut off the neck of the duck with one knife, and asked Lu Dengliang to open the wound and drip the duck's blood on the wound.

He also used light sesame oil to grind the antidote pill, applied it to the wound, and then took out an old pumpkin that was cut, mashed the melon, and applied it to the wound.

And he took another piece of cloth and wrapped it.

Lu Dengliang was very surprised and asked, "Master, what's the use of dripping duck blood on the wound?"

The young man smiled: "Duck blood can wrap most of the poison in his body and prevent it from spreading. Just can't drain the venom. ”

Lu Dengliang said: "Then how can we expel the poison in his body?"

The young man said, "I have to go to my aunt, so that he has the ability to eliminate the poison in his body." ”

Lu Dengliang said: "Then will we go now?"

The young man smiled: "Don't worry, it's not too late to go tomorrow at dawn." You flip him over and stroke his chest and abdomen so that the blood flows. ”

Lu Dengliang really flipped Du Shenfei over, pressed on Du Shenfei's abdomen, and lifted his arm, bending and stretching repeatedly.

Hearing only a light cough, Na Du Shenfei's body moved, and he spit out a lot of water.

The young man said with joy, "All right!" and when he brought the fire closer, the young man saw the face, and cried out "ah", and sat down on the plank.

This time, Lu Deng Liang was also bluffed and sat on the ground.

The young man was surprised and said, "How could it be him?"

Lu Dengliang was also very strange and asked, "Master, what's wrong? Do you know him?"

The young man said: "Not only do we know each other, but we also have an unusual relationship. Once at the foot of Ami Mountain, two of the three of them were floating in the river, and I saved the two people, so they met. Now this one is floating in the river again, and I have touched it again. It's weird, it's weird. ”

It turned out that this person was none other than Sun Selling Fish, since he became a brother with Du Shenfei, Duan Hanyan, and Niu Lixian, Du Shenfei recommended him to join the Jianfeng Village, he did not go, but a friend invited him to go to Baling to treat people, and then went to Dongting Lake Pingfeng Barrier to find his aunt to learn medical skills, until today, he came to the south, ready to go to Jianfeng Village, and accepted an orphan as an apprentice on the road, called Lu Dengliang.

Lu Dengliang was very surprised and asked, "Master, who is this person?"

Sun Maiyu said: "This person is a brother to me and is my eldest brother. ”

Lu Dengliang said: "What did Master just say is strange and strange, strange and strange?"

Sun Selling Fish said: "That's right. My eldest brother once had two other people, one called Duan Hanyan and the other called Niu Lixian, and the three of them fought a battle with the Ami Mountain Hades on the way to Guangzhou, and the other two were poisoned by the Hades Gate and also floated in the river and were rescued by me. The four of us became brothers. Now my eldest brother has also been poisoned, and he is still floating in the river, and he is still bumped into by me. I just think it's too much of a coincidence. ”

Lu Dengliang said: "It's really a coincidence. Then he said, "Master, shall we leave again tomorrow?"

Sun Selling Fish said: "You might as well go again tomorrow." You feed him some antidote pills first. ”

Sun Maiyu and Lu Dengliang carried Du Shenfei into the cabin, lay flat on the narrow bed, and fed the medicine.

The two of them also slept peacefully.
