Chapter 15.6 Grandpa Bing

That Bing Lihu took purple water all the way, walking in the deep mountains and dense forests, and there were a lot of words here to tell the interesting stories of his childhood with his little brother in the mountains. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Among them, the colorful expression made Zishui feel empathy, and Zishui followed him, never gave birth, such a sense of security also made him feel relaxed, facing the middle of the light and darkness of this mountain, it was a strange feeling.

The Ice Tiger was like a mountain elf, all the animals did not hide from him, nor did they attack him, he was like them, born here.

This place is as Bing Lihu said, in this primeval mountain, it is not just killing, if you want to hunt a black bear, that.

The trap is full of iron nails and sharp blades, poisonous insects and poisonous water, and how can that black bear still have the strength to resist?

And killing a black bear like that only shows that you have such ability, but it does not mean that you have the ability to survive here, in the mountains.

The strong survive in the mountains, and the better way for the strong to survive is to conquer.

The black bear that you defeated did not provoke you again, but launched an attack and turned away! That is why they think that it is a matter of course to give way to the strong.

On the contrary, those other animals will not provoke you even more when they smell the bloody smell of the fierce beast on your body.

A different way of survival, under Bing Lihu's explanation, although it can't be fully understood, what kind of experience does he have, but Zishui seems to be in the dark, and he really feels something.

The Bing Lihu took the purple water in a row, stopped and walked for more than three days, and at this time he came to the foot of a foothill.

This made Zishui understand that in this primitive mountain, there are not only tall pine shrubs, but also bare mountains and undulating directions.

At this time, the two of them were standing together, leaning down between the mountains, all of them were clean and slippery stones, full of low waists in the middle of the mountain.

"This is where the cave where I live, we will rest here for the night, and tomorrow I will take you to visit Grandpa!".

Zishui entered at this time and realized that the big mountain pass exposed a half-folded stone rock as a roof, and a dead tree in the middle was lying horizontally in the middle, and the body of the tree was spread out by a sharp blade in the middle, covered with fur on one side, and various iron tools were placed on the other.

The rest of the extra branches are hung with long and short dried dried meat, and they are placed on a simple small table and bench far away, and the Dan bottle herbs are placed in disorder.

The Bing Lihu casually dragged a piece of dried meat, handed it over and said, "This is hare meat to eat, isn't it Brother Tiger This is not like a home, Brother Tiger is a savage, brother, don't laugh at me, haha...".

"Brother Tiger, you are really wrong, I really like it here! I don't know Brother Tiger, where can I find one, such a place to live, every day is full of stars and bright moons, it is really a pleasure!" Zishui finished speaking, and ate it casually.

After a few days of short contact, Bing Lihu knew a little bit of Zishui's personality, and he knew in his heart that he was not boasting about himself, but also yearning for that kind of free and easy life, unrestrained days.

Bing Lihu usually works with wild beasts, since Bing Shili left, no one has talked to him, I thought that his family had long been used to it, this kind of loneliness at this time Once the conversation box is opened, there is still room for Zishui to talk, and after a few words, it is all himself, talking eloquently.

When he was about to wait for Zishui to answer, he found that this kid had already slept with the stars, and he knew how long Zishui had been, and he hadn't slept peacefully.

The next day, the sun hit the cheeks of the purple water, and the first breath of pleasure was the fragrance of plants, trees and earth.

At the end of a good night's dream, it made people feel refreshed, and Zishui realized that Bing Lihu had already gotten up and sorted out the things he wanted to carry.

"Brother Tiger, here... It's so comfortable to sleep," Zishui said.

"No, if you don't open your eyes yourself, I can't even open them..."The Bing Lihu asked with a smile again, "What are you dreaming about, why are you still humming...".

"Brother Tiger smiled, I wanted to learn from you, the means in the mountains... These eyes are really not angry," Zishui said, and he was about to get up.

"We'll talk slowly when you come back, you get ready. We're going to see Grandpa now, and we'll be there at noon. Grandpa has long wanted to know, what is the news of the Ten Forces!" Bing Lihu said.

Along the way, these two people went up the ridge, the blue sky and white clouds were close at hand, and the vision was quite broad. How can a man who lives here not be open-minded! Zishui completely forgot the tedious things in his heart, in the primitive mountains, he really wanted to make his house a scene in front of him.

It seems to be in the bones, blowing the spring breeze of grass and trees, which makes people comfortable and not overflowing.

After walking through two ridges, I came to a more spacious peak.

The height of the mountain was blocked, and half a ray of sunlight fell, leaving a gray-black shadow on the other side of the mountain.

"When we arrived, Grandpa was on the mountainside in front of us. Bing Lihu said excitedly.

said that it had arrived, but after walking for more than an hour, it was only then that he walked on a step that someone had dug up.

The length of the stone steps is simple, but there is a kind of quaint atmosphere, without edges and corners, but it can accommodate every step here, so that people can step on it without difficulty.

Zishui was lowering his head and stepping on one after another, and unconsciously came to a person approaching.

"Grandpa, he's a good friend of Shili. Entrusted by the second brother, I specially visited you! His name is Zishui. The people are nice. We're in ......" Bing Lihu spoke endlessly again, and said happily.

The old man did not interrupt him.

Zi Shui looked at the old man carefully, this old man was sitting on a flat stone platform at this time, his elbows were naturally placed, between the thighs on both sides, a pair of strange hands were slightly clasped together, looking down at the mountain he looked down on.

The purple water looked at the situation, it was a tree wave composed of hundreds of tree tips, which was surging wave after wave, surging in a roundabout way, and occasionally a cluster of birds flew up....

It's all so natural, so real. But I don't know why, it looks like it's a faint sadness.

The old man waved his hand with one hand, signaling that Bing Lihu had understood and was not going to talk about it, this was the sound he stopped.

The old man said, "Hu'er, okay! I know, you can go back first." It's called purple water, and I'll stay here for a few days. I have something to ask him. In a few days, you will come and pick him up again. ”

In just a few words, you can say it slowly. It's impossible to refute it at all.

Bing Lihu turned around and stuck out his tongue at Zishui, walked down the steps, and heard softly when the two approached, "Grandpa is very good, don't be afraid." ”

This person had already taken advantage of the situation to step down, and the figure of a few steps gradually disappeared, and even the fresh breath that carried him seemed to be slowly dissipating.

"Your name is Zishui, don't be afraid. Come and sit, I'm Li'er's grandfather. You can call me grandpa, too. Grandpa Bing said.

Zishui walked over and did not sit on the stone platform, but sat at the bottom of the stone platform, and said in the same direction as this person, "Grandpa, I am the sworn brother of Shili, Brother Li knew that I was passing by here, and specially asked me to come back to report safety." ”

Grandpa Bing turned to look at Zishui, and Zishui was also at this time, and he really saw Grandpa Bing's appearance.

The long gray hair was naturally parted from between the foreheads, draped over the shoulders on both sides, and the boxy face, although deeply wrinkled, could not hide the upright heroic spirit.

In the middle of those eyes, there seemed to be a little bit of light, as sharp as an eagle's eye, as if it could see everything that happened here.

"Good boy, why are you lying to me. I brought up Li'er, and I knew what kind of temperament he had when he was three years old. It's hard for you, too, to take a look at us. There is no shortage in this mountain, so let's find it?"

After Grandpa Bing said this, Zishui's heart sank.

I can't help but say what a wise old man he is. In just a few words, I saw things quite clearly, and I thought about how the years sharpened an old man into this, which is really a mystery.

Zishui didn't speak immediately, looking at the waves of the trees in front of him swaying, the desolation he felt before, he didn't expect it to be his own mentality.

At this moment, it has also turned into a feeling of nature, slowly flowing down the corner of the eye.

"Have you shed tears? I often teach Li'er, don't let it control you, but you have to control it a lot... When Li'er is gone.... Is it peaceful?" Although Grandpa Bing's words were extremely calm, Zi Shui felt that the waves of trees in front of him were even darker, and it may have been diluted by his own tears.

How can Zi Shui answer this, Zi Shui saw his own tears, reflected the five-colored light, and saw the ice ten forces again, Liao Qingsheng and Shang Changhe were on a black dragon spear, struggling back and forth, how could he answer, and how could he hurt one, drooping old heart.

"Grandpa, I will be your third grandson in the future, you can call me Shui'er" Zishui said word by word.

"Well... Good... I'm an ice spring, and I can still get it in my immortal years, a good grandson. Blessed are you.. Blessed..."The corners of the ice spring's mouth were slightly raised, and a kind look emanated between the corners of his eyebrows.

Zishui has tasted such love, and I don't know what it feels like to be affectionate with relatives, and at this moment I feel mixed feelings, gathered in my body and walked away, and said a word.

"Grandpa" was already pressed on the ice spring, on the thick thighs, choked up.

"Grandpa, I'm not leaving. How about serving you here?" Zishui said as he looked up at the ice spring.

"Hehe, one said he was going out for a walk, and the other said he wasn't leaving. You are two very different people, and you can be such good friends. Isn't it like a mountain!" said the ice spring.

Zishui looked back at this primitive appearance, and thought in his heart, "Yes, you can clearly tell, that one is a tree, and that one is a stone." But everything of them is together, and this is the mountain. ”。

"Okay, you stay with me, when you want to leave, go again!" The ice spring tore off a piece of animal skin from his body and gave it to Zishui, put it on his back and said.

The purple water's mood gradually recovered, and he turned to look around, thinking that if this grandfather was too old to go down the mountain to hunt, he should find something to eat by himself, so he said, "Grandpa, what do you usually eat?"

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about that. I'll be back in a moment," Grandpa Bing said.

Zishui thought to himself, too, it must be Li Hu who came to send it. Zishui thought about it, but he was not in a hurry. He asked curiously, "Grandpa, how did you live here?"

Bingquan smiled, "Shui'er, good boy, you have a lot of appetite for me, do you want to hear an old story from grandpa?"

"Think"

"Well, in retrospect, a person's fate has long been predestined. No matter how you dodge, it can't be stopped from coming and looking for you. Grandpa Bingquan began to reminisce.

It turned out that Bingquan had been herding sheep with his brother since he was a child, and he had three younger sisters at home. The family is unusually poor, and between his childhood and his brother chasing sheep and mountains and forests, I still think of him as the biggest pleasure.

Of course, my father also herded sheep for the main family, and that year, when I was nine years old and just sensible, there was a wolf plague, and the wolves were hungry as if they were dying, and they would bite them desperately when they saw living creatures.

The sheep released by my father were killed by wolves overnight.

The Lord asked our family to make restitution, but at that time, how could there be anything of value in our house?

Oh no.

One more piece. It's people. That night I heard my parents arguing.

In retrospect, it may be because of the reason why it is said to be used to top the debt.

In the end they chose me, and of course my brother was more physical and more useful to stay at home, while my sisters were still young.

The next day, while I was arranging the flock with my brother and preparing to set off, my father stopped me and told me to ride a mule and take me to a large house.

It was the first time I left the house, so far away, and it was also the last time I saw my brother, the family.

I haven't been back since, and probably won't, because I can't even find the direction and appearance of my home.

Remembering it will always not be a choice.

Of course, the main family did not ask for more compensation, and for fear that I would run away and return home, they dominated me for a long time.

So they brought me here, far, far away to this mountain.

At the age of nine, I was carrying two small bags of Kangmi, and I walked for more than two months in a row, and I don't know how I persevered at that time....

The road was extremely desolate, and the terrain was full of ups and downs, and I had only encountered this one place through it.

Of course, the reason why this family lives here is also for the owner of this house.

We rested here for the night, and when we set out the next day, the poor man took with him, a girl who was about the same age as me, and begged for some food.

And at that time, people couldn't survive if they weren't ruthless, so they were extra ruthless, so they didn't give them a grain of food.

When I looked back at them, she looked at me too, her lovely eyes unmoved, and her poor hair ruffled by the breeze.

At that time, I was reminded of the two small bags of bran rice that my sister secretly untied and carried around my neck.

And the two bags of bran rice fell to the ground so lightly that they didn't make any sound. This made them slightly stunned when they saw it, and I could even see the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

And so it was another hard trek, and I don't remember the way I came.

At that time, the foot of this mountain was not like it, and now it is so prosperous, and there is no one home. There was only one shack, an old man and a flock of sheep desperately trying to live.

When the man left me behind, he said that he would wait for this time next year, and he would move away again, and the fat sheep that he had obtained were gone.

The man was sixty or seventy years old, had no relatives or children, and was even more silent, probably because he was used to being a person and did not like to talk.

But he took me very well, I don't even remember what my father looked like, but I haven't forgotten him, and sometimes I have the illusion that he is my father.

It was he who taught me how to survive in the mountains, and now I think about it with some very interesting memories. He would catch birds with a rope, and that was the skill I was most willing to learn at that time.

Hehe... He also kept a gopher and tied a homemade bell around the gopher's neck and stuffed it into a rabbit hole to frighten them.

Then the other holes were blocked with stones, leaving only this one to be covered with a pocket, and the rabbit would go in by himself, hehe....

He also taught me the most important trick, which is to survive in the mountains, and one of the tricks that I still teach my children to this day is to take... House.

Grandpa Bingquan said at this time, looked up at Zishui's expression and continued.

"The old oligarch had a knack for not disturbing his flock when the wolves returned, and strange to say, at first I thought that the wolves had plenty of food and would not come and take the plunge for food.

But later I found out that the old oligarch and the wolf king were acquaintances, and of course he also passed on his skills to me without reservation.

Hehe, this matter is incredible, but it is actually simple.

It turns out that every time the old oligarch hooded rabbit, no matter how many, will leave one for the wolves.

Once he took me up the mountainside, and when he saw the wolves in the valley, playing in twos and threes, he told me to take a rabbit and walk towards the wolves.

At that time, I was terrified, but somehow I trusted the old man so much, and I couldn't believe that I actually did it, and for many years.

At that time, my mind was blank, and I could only hear him whispering in his whisper.

"Keep your head down and don't look into their eyes. ... Slowly... When you come back, you have to come back backwards... Don't leave your back to them".

When I put down the rabbits, although I didn't dare to look at them, I felt them, their limbs standing upright, staring at my hair on end.

But when they came back, they were unusually excited, and they knew about it ever since, and now that I remembered my scent, it seemed that the old oligarch still knew that I would stay here forever.

But the happy days were less than a year, and the old oligarch told me the night before that he wanted to sleep well, but he didn't wake up the next day.

I was just over 14 years old.

Zishui couldn't imagine at this time how a teenager could survive in this big mountain, and even a few days ago, his family was still living in fear and loneliness every day, how could a child bear it.

Grandpa Bing continued, at that time, I thought that I had learned the ability to survive, but when the old widow left, I was really left with all my skills.

They were all half-baked, and sometimes I couldn't catch a wild animal for days, and I fainted with hunger, but it was a wolf that brought me a rabbit.

And so it went on for more than half a year, until someone came again, and they found the old oligarch's grave, and it was estimated that I had been taken away by the wolves, and drove all the sheep back, and left me here completely.

It wasn't until the next five years, when people came here to graze their herds, that they found me, and I was completely lost what I had been.

They seized me and insisted that I had lost half of the sheep that year, so they hid from me, and they could not speak at all, and they put me in a prison cell in the yamen.

This level is fifteen years, and by the time I came out, I almost couldn't communicate with people, and I was cold-treated everywhere. So I made up my mind to return to the mountains again, and would rather be the companion of the lone wolf in the mountains and forests than come out to deal with people.

But on my way back to the mountain, I met the little girl again, she was the grandmother you had never met.

At that time, her father had already died of illness, and her family had been ruined by the landlord, and she lived like a dog in the shack.

I brought her into the mountains, hey...".

That Grandpa Bingquan is not good at confession, but a short story makes Zishui fully feel how Grandpa Bing lived and why he lives in this big mountain.

There are several decades in life, but they are all painful ones.

That Grandpa Bing's temperament is so open-minded, I think he has long seen through the warmth and coldness of the world.

Zishui was thinking about it one by one, and was interrupted by Grandpa Bing's words.

"Isn't it a boring story?"

"No, Grandpa, I love to hear it. Zishui said

"Well, when you're old, you love to remember. Don't talk about me. Let's talk about something happy," Bingquan asked with a slight smile.

"Seeing that your body is so thin, and you look up from your waist when you walk, you are weak, do you have any external injuries?"

"Grandpa, I have had a serious injury to my waist, and the acupuncture points are not smooth in qi and blood, and it is difficult to heal. So the figure..."Zishui replied.

"Oh! That's just me teaching you a set of physical exercises that can only be learned by the men of our Bing family, I am your grandfather now, of course you can learn it, it must help your body somewhat." ”

Grandpa Bing said confidently, and at this time, on the other side of the steps, there was the sound of footsteps...

When the voice got closer, Zishui was taken aback.

It turned out that there was a wolf with a hare in his mouth, and he put it on the steps and turned away without looking.

"Wolves are actually the most conscientious animals, and they will also take care of the old wolves who cannot move among the packs. I've fed them for decades, and now that I'm too old to hunt anymore, they come to bring me food.

Ay... I've watched them grow up from generation to generation, and I know all the wolf kings here, and we're all very good friends. ”

After eating today, we will rest early, and we will go to practice tomorrow. Grandpa Bing said.

The next day, Grandpa Bingquan brought the purple water to a cave.

"I'll send you here, you don't have to be afraid, the cave is safe, you will know everything when you go in. Grandpa Bingquan said quite seriously.

Zishui raised his eyes to see that the entrance of this cave was strangely large, but when he looked inside, it was dark and strangely black, and there was nothing to be seen.

"I will put what I eat in the cave every day, because of the different understandings of individuals, you will know when it will come out..."After Grandpa Bingquan said this, he turned around and left.

Zishui walked into the deep cave, and it was strange to walk step by step, the temperature in the cave was moderate, but it was unusually dry.

It may be because there is no light, there is no grass and trees, and the broken stones are trampled under the feet, making a "whoosh" sound, echoing in the entire mountain 0 hole.

The louder voice was like a head, piercing like an invisible thing that quickly turned back in the depths, probing Zishui's body back and forth.

And this hole went down further, suddenly saw that there was actually a fire shaking, at this time to look closer, it was a few simple pine oil lamps, hanging on the wall everywhere.

And in the middle of the bottom of the cave, against the wall, there seems to be a huge human-shaped sitting stone statue carved in the same place.

Zishui picked up an oil lamp and walked over, and couldn't help but be surprised to think of who could carve such a stone statue here, which was also too lifelike.

Although this large stone statue is sitting upright, it is extremely high and large, and the knees are already higher than the chest of Zishui, and the hands naturally hang down, and the head is placed in the middle of the shoulders with a huge round stone.

This stone may be too sleek, slightly biased to one side and not very obvious, and the facial features of the stone statue are quite detailed and thoughtful, if it is really made by human grinding, then it can only be described as a strange man.

Zishui doesn't have much knowledge, but this stone statue is definitely not, anyone can carve it, at this time, I can't help but be curious, and I have seen every place with a thin palm lamp from my heart.

"Hey, there are words. ”

The stone statue was engraved on the high chest with rows and rows of thin small characters.

Zishui climbed up the stone statue and stood on the stone knee, the lights followed the handwriting, wandering in rows, reading softly in his mouth.

"I am a monk who knows the heavens, and I have cultivated for fifty years. With the advanced Yuan Infant a few years ago. Looking down on the world, there are only ten people in the primordial baby...."

Zishui saw this and said in his heart, look at this stone statue for a few years, and I don't know when these handwriting were left, and the person who left this word should be called Zhitian, it seems that his cultivation is very powerful, and he dares to boast of mana in the world, but ten people will look at what he says.

"All in one skill, through the world. Thinking that he was invincible in the world, he took General Yu Shi to travel the world. I'm not proud.

When I think back to the time of pride, I am ashamed. ”

Zishui was quite surprised to see this, and knew that this stone statue was not alive, it was incredible, so he quickly took a look....

"I didn't hear about it, this primeval mountain. Heaven and earth are strange grasses, and there are many uncivilized beasts, and they have cultivated for many years.

If you want to break through the mountain gate, you should be the first to climb the mountain, not to seek no treasure in the mountain, but also to leave my name at the top of the mountain.

Now that I think about it, there is no shame in being proud of the world. ”。

Zishui Zizi felt that the person in front was domineering, but he was humble and self-reproachful in the back, which was not easy to express. The changes before and after are not without losing their pride. Such a strange person should be among the ten people in the world.

"Entering the middle of the mountain alone, I encountered a giant beast that I had never seen before. exhausted his skills, but did not hurt the slightest, but greatly damaged his spiritual power, and finally escaped from the self-destructive mana.

Before he could recover, he was pressed by the poisonous mist, and finally his heart was exhausted, and the spiritual power of life lasted until dawn, and he saw the death period falling, recalling the beginning.

It's good to be repentant, the mana that came from hard cultivation and was not used well, but it was also wasted in vain, and when the wailing was over.

Rescued by a little brother called Bingquan, dozens of miles of mountains and rocks back to the cave, every day with herbal animal essence blood, hanging my life, more than a month to leave a breath remaining.

In my mouth, I am usually treated the most by people who are like mustards. The heartache is beyond words, and I feel great kindness and kindness, and I feel the same reconstruction.

After more than two months like this, I can also move, I dare not teach my benefactor to work hard, in order to recover my spiritual power as soon as possible, take out the best spiritual stone in the body of General Shi, who has been my best friend for many years.
