Chapter 6: Escape
The beggar escaped from the tiger's mouth, carried the female Taoist priest on his back, stumbled, and ran ten miles away, until he was exhausted and could no longer move half a step, and then stopped to rest.
The terrain is already open and the mountains are gradually gentle. The hillside is lush and verdant, dotted with red flowers and green fruits, adding to the richness. Several streams cascade down the hillside and converge into the valley to form a great river that flows mightily into the distance.
Seeing this beautiful scenery, the beggar swept away the gloom in his heart, rested for a while, first picked some wild fruits, and then wrapped the leaves and took the stream water for the female Taoist to drink. However, the female Taoist's lips were tightly closed, and the beggar broke and pinched, and she was busy for a long time, but the female Taoist still did not enter the water.
The female Taoist is like a gossamer, coming and going, sometimes taking a breath at intervals of half a quarter of an hour, and may be cut off at any time. The beggar was anxious, but there was nothing he could do. Helpless, the beggar had to go to the hillside to pick some firewood, grass, camellia roots and other herbs back, mash them with stones and feed them to the female Taoist priest.
These herbs were taught to the beggar by the village elders when he was suffering from a cold or flu, or when he was bruised. The female Taoist suffered internal injuries, and the original symptoms were very different, but the beggar thought that the herbs had the effect of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, and maybe they would be of some use to her, so he regarded himself as a doctor and used medicine without authorization.
The herbs were mashed, and the female Taoist's mouth was broken, and she was forced into it, but she couldn't swallow it. The beggar said: "Only offend the fairy girl." "At the moment, learning from the village lady to feed the baby, the four lips are against each other, the cheeks are puffed up, and the qi is pressing, and all the medicinal juice and bones are forced into the belly of the female Taoist. After that, he fed the female Taoist some wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, and then carried the female Taoist and set off again.
After walking until dark, the beggar found a dry place to sleep at the foot of the mountain. Just because there were a lot of encounters on this day, and a few escapes from death, after closing his eyes, he fell asleep in the dark, and it was difficult to wake up even if there was a thunder explosion in his ears.
It wasn't until noon the next day, when the sun shone on his face, that he woke up slowly. The beggar rubbed his eyes, still reminiscing about the delicious food in his dream, as far as he could see, he glanced left and right, and suddenly a spirit suddenly woke up. Turning his head to take a closer look, he was shocked again. But not far from the female Taoist, I don't know when there was a dark green giant snake the size of a bucket, and the giant snake was stretching and stretching the snake letter, and it was turning its attention from the female Taoist to itself.
The beggar has lived in the mountains since he was a child, and he has naturally seen a lot of such anacondas, but in an unguarded situation, he suddenly saw them, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. The skin of the anaconda is smooth and thick, the strength is endless, the general villagers accompany three or five people, holding sharp weapons, only to dare to fight with the anacondara, now he is a hairy boy, how dare to frustrate its edge. However, he was not allowed to think too much, the anaconda tilted its head back, and the cold light shone directly, and it wanted to pounce.
At this time, if the beggar gets up and runs away, the water constrictor is not very flexible in crawling on land, and he will definitely not be able to take him, but the female Taoist will inevitably make the belly of the anaconda. The beggar glanced at the female Taoist, her eyes were fierce, she picked up the protective sword of the female Taoist, and slashed it with a wave of her hand.
The anaconda was caught off guard and dodged the beggar's first sword, but he cut off the flesh with a sword in his hand. And the beggar was also swept by the giant tail of the anaconda, fell three or four meters away, and was about to turn over and get up, but he felt that his legs were tight, and he was entangled by the tail of the anacond, and dragged it to the head of the anaconda, and the tail of the beggar was extremely flexible, and he did not wait for the beggar to struggle, and instantly went around two more turns. The beggar shouted, and slashed back with his sword.
Taoist talisman weapons are not the same as ordinary things, the long sword touched the slippery scales of the water python as if cutting tofu, and made two forces, such as a human waist thick cocktail will be broken into two sections. The anaconda was in pain, hissed, and opened its mouth to bite the beggar's head, and the beggar tilted his head and flashed, but bit the beggar's right shoulder. The beggar gritted his teeth, handed his sword to his left hand, and slashed with his shaking hand. Although his left hand is weak, he also cuts the neck of the worm to the point that the skin is open.
The anaconda is not a stupid thing, seeing that the beggar is so brave, he is so cowardly, he lets go of the huge mouth, turns around and flees. The beggar sat down on the ground, stared at the back of the anacond, gasped twice, and suddenly blessed his heart, remembered something, and got up, rushed behind the anaconda again, raised his sword and slashed.
The anaconda is the overlord in the water, and when it comes ashore, its power will naturally be greatly reduced, and at this time, it straightens its body and crawls, how can it have time to use its strength to fight back. Ren Qi'er's sword fell and broke, and after a few blows, his head was in a different place and his life was whimpered.
The beggar found the gall from the body of the anaconda that was broken into several sections, which was the size of a bowl, squeezed the bile into the mouth of the female Taoist, and still forced it into the body of the female Taoist according to the method of breathing. The bile was bitter and astringent, and the beggar was sticky and full of mouth, so he couldn't help but pouting and frowning, and while squeezing the bile, he said to the female Taoist: "Fairy girl, wake up, if you don't wake up again, I can't call the flower a lot." I don't know if the bile in my body is effective or because it is too bitter, but when the beggar forced the female Taoist again, the female Taoist sighed and slowly opened her eyes.
The female Taoist replied with her eyes, and when she saw the situation clearly, she was suddenly shocked and angry, and she didn't know the strength that came from, so she pushed the beggar away, knocked him to the ground with a slap, pointed at the beggar, and said excitedly: "You, you ......" and fainted again before the sentence was incomplete.
The beggar got up with his hand on his cheek, and sighed: "Hey, the dog bites Lu Dongbin, I don't know the hearts of good people! But this is also good, the fairy girl can still beat people, which means that she can't die." Then he lifted the female Taoist up and continued to feed the bile. This time, the female Taoist was able to swallow on her own, which made the beggar very happy.
In the days that followed, the beggar carried the female Taoist through the mountains, and there was no end in sight after many walks. The beggar wandered since he was a child, often staying in the mountains, not thinking that it was strange, nor should he be bitter, but felt that there were many wild fruits in the mountains, and he did not have to work for three meals a day, and he was at ease. Moreover, after the female Taoist took the bile, her breath gradually calmed down, and her complexion became more and more ruddy, so she no longer had to worry about her life, and the beggar fell to the ground with one heart, and she was finally much more down-to-earth.
