The Legend of Shushan Swordsman
Chapter 22 Life and Death
Chapter 22 Life and Death
Mannia took a closer look, and shouted: "No!" Fortunately, she had the sword in her hand, and quickly threw off the scabbard.It was too late to say it, but it was so fast, the sword had just come out of the box, and the thing jumped towards Mannia's head.Mannia didn't hesitate, she put her feet on the pads, and jumped out sideways.Then he raised the sword in his hand and lifted it up, a white light passed by, and circled around the seven-inch side of the thing. A snake head the size of a rice bowl flew straight up to a height of more than ten feet.That part of the snake's body carried a gust of wind, its red scales were dazzling, reflecting the sun, like a chain of fire, it flew from Mannia's head for tens of feet before landing on the ground.Mannia first heard the wind and looked back, and saw a black thing riding on the snake's head, like the little black man she saw just now.After killing the snake, I went to look for it, but it was nowhere to be found.If you look closely at the big snake, it is the same as the one you saw when you mistakenly beheaded the tortoise and snake before, and there are continuous scars under the seven-inch hole.Knowing that this kind of red snake is extremely poisonous, fearing that it will come back to life and harm people, no matter if it is the previous snake or not, he swung his sword, first cut it into four pieces including head and body, and then cut each piece into countless small pieces , just stop.Feeling that his hand was a little wet, he looked down and saw that the small figure on the root of black sesame in his hand had somehow broken an arm by Mannia inadvertently, and a pale blue-colored white paste flowed out.Mannia thought that the elixir was a pity, so she sucked on the villain's severed arm, the taste was sweet, and the strange fragrance was pungent and intoxicating.Xide Mannia wanted to inhale with all her strength, suddenly felt dizzy and dizzy, she felt evil in her heart, two temples were staring, one couldn't hold on, fell on the spot, unconscious.
When I woke up, I saw that I was sleeping in a bunk in a cliff cave, and there were two hunters sitting beside me, one old and one young.The old one was sitting next to an earthen stove, smoking a five or six-foot-long dry pipe, and from time to time he took some dead branches to add fire to the stove.With a beard and piercing eyes, he looks very tall and has a very tough demeanor.The young one was hulking and heroic, and he was still dressed as a hunter.Sitting on the side of the old hunter, there are more than a dozen sealworts and taro piled up in front of him, holding a small knife in his hand, and he is peeling there non-stop.On the surrounding walls, there are skins of tigers, leopards, wolves and wild animals, as well as various weapons, bows and crossbows.Mannia was amazed that she had somehow come here.Just as he was about to get up from the bed, he suddenly felt a sharp pain all over his body, his limbs were weak, and he talked about getting out of bed, but he couldn't even get up.The two hunters heard Mannia turning on the bed, the younger one called Daddy and pouted on the bunk.The old hunter came over and said to Mannia: "Young lady, don't turn around, you are poisoned. Fortunately, you have very good internal energy, and you got half a piece of Queen Mother Grass. By chance, I met my son hunting and carried you back. I I rescued you with the half piece of Queen Mother Grass you got. Now you have lost your vitality, and you will have to raise it for at least three or four months before you can go to the ground. If you want your body to recover, it will take more than half a year. I have called me My wife has gone to look for medicine for you. If you can get two more pieces of Queen Mother Grass, you will recover faster. You are too tired right now, so let’s rest for a while, and talk later when you have something to say.” The young hunter also said Walked over and interjected: "Daddy said so, how can the girl understand? We are originally from Sichuan. Because of something, my parents and I were forced to go to a foreign country. My father can prepare many herbs, and he knows the elixir of Xianxialing There are many, and I came here to look for them. I like hunting the most. Yesterday I went to Qianling to hunt and came back. I suddenly saw a big snake with a broken head in the grass. It must be a person with great ability." Just as I was thinking about going forward, I saw countless broken snake bodies, so I followed and looked for it. I saw the girl lying on the ground, dead, holding a fairy tree and half a snake in her hand. Queen Mother Grass. I didn’t recognize these elixir. Because I saw that the girl’s sword was very human, the snake must have been cut by the girl. I thought that the girl was poisoned by the snake’s poison after cutting the snake. I admire the girl’s great ability and courage. Eliminate harm for the world. Seeing that the girl still has heat in her chest, and the elixir my father prepared can bring the dead back to life, he carried you back for treatment. My father said that what you were poisoned was not snake poison, but the poison of immortals. I made Ganoderma lucidum and took it. Fortunately, your internal strength is very deep, and you did not die at that time. In addition, the half piece of queen mother grass you got is a rare panacea that can bring the dead back to life. My father first used the queen mother I will take the grass for you, and I will treat you with the elixir hidden at home. Because of the lack of a medicinal herb as an introduction, my mother went to Houling to search for it, but she has not returned. Although my father and son are hunters who gather herbs, they are not dirty. If the girl is very close to her hometown, when her mother comes back, after taking the second medicine, I will pack you up and live in a place for a few days, and we will dare to send you home when the doctor is good enough. If you are far away from home, you have to Wait until she recovers at my house before leaving. I know that the girl is in a hurry, and we have never met before, so she must be eager to know the origins of my father and son, so I took the liberty to explain to you. Daddy said that the girl should not bother you, it is best to do what I say, and there is no need to answer This is a matter of life and death, please don't be careless, the more careful you are, the faster you will recover."
After hearing this, Mannia understood a general idea.What he misses most in his heart is his own precious sword. Seeing that it is hanging beside the shop, he is not lost, so he is relieved.Due to mental weakness and exhaustion, after thinking about it for a while, I felt panic in my heart, gold stars appeared in my temples, and I had a splitting headache.I also saw that the two hunters spoke sincerely and behaved well. The matter has come to this point, so I have to accept their kindness and let him heal.I still want to say a few words of gratitude in my heart, but my breath is like a gossamer, it just swirls in my throat, and I can't open my mouth.Only then did he realize that what he said was true, so he nodded slightly at the two hunters as a thank you, then closed his eyes and rested his mind.After a while, he passed out again.
After a while, I felt that someone was helping me, and when I opened my eyes, it was already dark.The young hunter was standing in front of the bunk with a torch in his hand and an earthen pot in the other.An elderly woman with a white beard like silver, supported her head with one hand, used a wooden ladle to hold the medicine in the earthen pot, and was feeding herself mouthful by mouthful.Seeing Mannia wake up, the old woman said with a smile, "Young lady has been injured for killing the world." After finishing speaking, she reached out to touch Mannia's belly, and said, "Young lady, hurry up." Hearing this, the young hunter stuck the torch in the crevices of the rocks, brought over a large pot of hot water, took a clay bowl and put it on the spot, and then withdrew.After the young hunter left, Mannia also felt a pain in her stomach, as if something was strangling her intestines, she knew she had to act, so she wanted to expose her quilt to the ground.However, his body was so weak that he couldn't move, and his hands and feet were so heavy that he couldn't lift them up.The old woman said: "Miss, don't worry, you are old." After finishing speaking, she closed the damper first, turned around and uncovered Mannia's quilt, took off her small and medium clothes first, inserted one hand into the back of Mannia's neck, and held it with the other Mannia's legs were bent.Mannia was worrying that she would not be able to lift her up when she was old, but the old woman was so strong that she picked up Mannia like a kitten.As soon as she held the earthen bowl, Mannia couldn't bear it any longer, she burbled repeatedly, urine and feces came all over, she spilled a large earthen bowl, and the stench was incomparable.Immediately, I felt relieved, and my heart relaxed a lot.The old woman wiped Mannia's filth, carried Mannia to the bed, covered her with a quilt without giving her any clothes, and went out with a clay bowl.
After a while, I heard the old woman talking in the house outside, and vaguely heard the young hunter say: "Mother, don't worry about me. When I was young, I just lay on the floor. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda." The old woman said: "Usually I'm a vegetarian, but you persuaded me to go hunting and killing every day, and now I'm merciful again. She is a woman, and she was poisoned so deeply. In some places, you and your father can't come close to me. Help. You are a filial son, and you will try to torture my wife alone." The young hunter said a few more words, but he didn't listen.I heard the old woman say again: "Mother is just kidding you. I want to do good deeds every day and cultivate the next life. If you give me the opportunity to do good deeds today, why are you still lazy? She has just finished her action now, and the medicine soup is too hot. Let her Breathe slowly, and wash her again. It’s just that your father said, from now on, take medicine, bathe her every morning and evening, and do things for several days, and it will take more than ten days for the poison to go away.” The young hunter said: "Everything is up to my mother to save her. After giving her a bath when I was young, I am a man after all. Although I am good at saving people, I am afraid that people will be careless, so I will not go in." The old woman said again: "I said you child , Anticlimactic, don’t wipe your ass when you do things, right? How did you bring me back? Now you’re avoiding suspicion again. As long as we have a clean heart, we have a clear conscience. Next to it. After taking the medicine for more than ten days, her body is getting weaker every day. I don’t talk about it during the day and help her get up to take the medicine at night. How can I do it by myself?” Hearing this, the young hunter was speechless.
The old woman walked in immediately and touched the local wooden basin first.After waiting for a while, he came over, picked up Mannia still, and put it in the wooden basin.Mannia smelled the medicinal fragrance, and knew that the medicinal soup was cooked in the wooden basin.The old woman first took the dregs of the medicine from the basin and rubbed Mannia's whole body, and finally washed her whole body with a basin of traditional Chinese medicine soup.Mannia was exhausted and weak, she had to scrub and wash with the help of the old woman, then wiped dry with a clean coarse cloth next to the basin, and carried her to bed.The woman took another set of medium and small clothes, and said to Mannia, "Miss, you can't wear any more clothes. These are two coarse clothes for an old man. If you feel wronged, just wear them." Unexpectedly, he is not afraid of filth, and serves himself diligently.Thinking of being alone at a young age, never being loved by relatives, spending half of my life, but escaping from death in this remote mountainous place, being pitied by others, I feel sad for a while, but I can't shed tears.He thought to himself: "The three hunters, their parents and son, are all so kind-hearted and brave in doing what is right. When things get better in the future, I must repay others with all my heart." I remembered the conversation between his mother and son in the outer room just now, and it was rare that the young hunter also That's how it goes.I also saw that his house was poorly furnished and lived in a bunk in a cliff cave. He must be a poor hunter.The most uncomfortable thing is that there are thousands of words of gratitude in my heart, but I can't say a single one.
Just as she was thinking wildly, the old woman sensed it, and touched Mannia with her hand, and said, "Miss, don't feel bad, think about it, I know the girl has something to say, but it doesn't matter, we can all guess it. If you have something to say, you are in good health." Is it different? Don’t look at us as poor, let’s tell you the truth, now we don’t have to worry about food and clothing, just to avoid people’s eyes and ears, and look poor on the outside.” Before the words were finished, someone in the outer room said "Young lady has been severely poisoned, I can't even bother you, so please don't say a few words." The old woman immediately stopped talking when she heard this, and only advised Mannia not to feel sorry for her, but to take care of herself at ease.When Mannia heard the old hunter's voice outside, her tone seemed to warn the old woman not to speak too much.I understand that he is afraid that the old woman will slip up and reveal his behavior.Guessing that this family must be an extraordinary generation, suffering from being unable to speak, unable to ask people's names, I had to bear it all in my heart.After a while, the young hunter came in with a bowl of things from outside and stood in front of the bed.The old woman said: "Young lady can't eat other things, this is boiled Huang Jing, young lady, please eat some." After finishing speaking, the old woman still supported Mannia's head, and fed it spoonful by spoonful from the young hunter's hand. Mannia eats.The tip of Mannia's tongue was numb, and she couldn't taste anything.The old woman didn't give Mannia more to eat, she ate five or six spoonfuls and ordered her to go away.In the middle of the night, Mannia moved a few more times, and all of them were scrubbed with the support of the old woman herself.Although Mannia couldn't bear it, she was helpless.
After seven or eight days like this, it's all the same.It only made Mannia exhausted, and her breath was like a gossamer.Fortunately, the old hunter used laxatives to poison him, and at the same time he used tonics to boost his Qi.Otherwise, no matter how good Ren Manniang's internal strength is, it would be difficult to support her.I didn't live with diarrhea until the evening of the ninth day.The old hunter went into the house and said to Mannia: "Congratulations, miss, today you are out of the catastrophe!" Because Mannia obeyed the hunter's family's order, since she was poisoned, she hasn't said a word, and she can't even mention it. angry.After taking the medicine and diarrhea for the past few days, although my body is getting weaker day by day, my heart is getting more comfortable day by day.That night, I drank another bowl of porridge cooked with sealwort and rice, and since then I have seen better day by day.It took another five or six days before I could speak.Seeing how kind and generous the whole family was to her, especially the young hunter who was so considerate and caring towards her, Mannia was so grateful that she couldn't even say a word of thanks.
Unexpectedly, Mannia's illness had been cured for less than two months, and she was just able to walk on the ground, when the old woman suddenly went outside to pick up dead branches one night, and she stumbled and fell from the cliff.When her son went to the town to buy rice salt and came back to save him, his heart and lungs were already shaken, and he bled so much that it seemed hopeless.Not only the old hunters and their sons were very sad and anxious, but also Mannia was so filthy at such an old age, and worked hard day and night, that she had just been brought back to life, and before she could repay her kindness, Mannia was also sad to see her dying. To the extreme.Happily, blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes never come singly.When the old woman's life was dying, the old hunter and his wife were in love, and they wanted to make a contingency plan, ordered their son to serve at home, and went out with their own weapons, hoping to find some elixir to bring the dead back to life and save his wife's life.After the old hunter left, the young hunter and Mannia stood in front of the old woman's shop and served them wholeheartedly, hoping that the old hunter could find the elixir when he went out.Mannia was so anxious that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the gods and Buddhas to bless the benevolent, and kept making wishes.Seeing Mannia's anxious look, the old woman couldn't help showing a smile on her face, called Mannia to her face, and said, "Miss, you are so kind! If I had someone like you..." When she said this, she suddenly stopped talking. , glanced at the young hunter, and sighed deeply again.Mannia was worrying in her heart, but at that time she didn't realize the deep meaning of the old woman's words.Until it got dark, the old hunter still hadn't turned around. Both the young hunter and the old woman became anxious.Seeing that the young hunter didn't go, the old woman scolded, "Unfilial beast! You still only know how to be filial to your mother, but not your father? If you don't go away, I'll be bumped to death!" Seeing that the old woman was angry, Mannia persuaded the young hunter, "Yes." Just go, brother, your mother is my mother, and I will serve you with all my heart." The young hunter repeatedly told Mannia quietly that besides serving by the side, the first thing is not to leave the house.After that, with painful tears in his eyes, he said several times: "Mother, take care, I will go to my father and come back." Then he took the weapon and walked away.
What Mannia said was an unintentional remark, and after the young hunter left, the old woman called Mannia to the bed and said, "Well, what you just said to my son is that you really want to call me your mother." What?" Mannia couldn't help being moved when she heard the words, she suddenly remembered that the old woman's words just now had a lot of meaning, she was deeply favored by others, and he was ill, so in a hurry, she didn't know how to answer correctly.As soon as she pondered, the old woman understood that Mannia was unwilling, so her expression changed, she sighed, and bowed her head in silence.It took Mannia a long time to reply: "My daughter is willing to worship at the knees of benefactors and benefactors as the daughter of mothflies." At this time, the old woman became more panting and abdominal pain, and her face was as white as paper. Hearing Mannia's words, she just shook her head and trembled. She said to Mannia, "Go and draw some new spring with me." Mannia often looked at the door for several days, knowing that there was a spring in front of the cave, so she took the water ladle and walked outside the door.As soon as she went out, she seemed to hear the old woman tossing and turning on the bed. Mannia was afraid that she would get out of bed and walk around, so she quickly stepped back and looked around. The old woman really fell to the ground, took a hunting knife off the wall with her hand, and was about to kill herself.Mannia was taken aback, in a moment of anxiety, ignoring her weakness after illness, she leaped forward, grabbed the old woman's arm, snatched the knife from her, and forced her onto the bed.At this time, the old woman's neck was hung by the blade, and the blood flowed down. Mannia was so exhausted that she was out of breath and her heart was pounding.The old woman was even more breathless, with two dim eyes open, she looked at Mannia without saying a word.Mannia regained her composure, and continued to comfort her, asking the old woman why she was like this, but the old woman just didn't speak.
Mannia was anxious, when suddenly there was a knock at the door, and the young hunter ran in, covered in blood, carrying the half-dead body of the old hunter on his back.The old woman saw several wounds on the old hunter's head and body, as if she had expected this incident, she said to the young hunter, "Is he dying too?" The young hunter smiled with tears in his eyes. nodded.The old woman smiled and said: "That's good, it's still clean, the only problem is that he doesn't know my heart." Mannia was busy bandaging the old hunter's wound first, the old woman tremblingly said: "The small hole in the wall There is the wound medicine we prepared in it, so put my son on the wound first. Neither he nor I can survive." Mannia saw that the woman and the young hunter were very indifferent to the old hunter, and the old hunter Zhou He was seriously injured, lying on the bunk, not even saying a word, so strange.The three benefactors, apart from being seriously injured, were dying, and they didn't know which side to be busy with. Hearing what the old woman said, they had to go to treat the young hunter's wound first.At this time, the young hunter had abandoned the old hunter, and knelt down in front of the old woman. When he saw Mannia coming to apply medicine for him, he stopped him with his hands, begging Mannia to go and apply the medicine for the old hunter.Before the words were finished, the old woman suddenly said sharply: "Disobedient son! Do you know that this man is no longer alive? What are you doing with these nonsense things? I want you to bind up your wound and go find him to meet me." When speaking, he used too much force, the young hunter saw the scar on the old woman's neck, and hurriedly said: "Mother, are you in a hurry again? The child must go. I also invited him just now, but he refused to come and was willing to die on the slope ahead. Dad He was seriously injured again, so he had to carry it back first." After saying that, she let Mannia wrap up his wound, gritted her teeth and endured the pain, and walked outside.
Not long after he left, another old man dressed up in Taoism came in and got a dart on his forehead. Although he was not dead, he was only dying.At first the old Taoist seemed angry and refused to come in, but when he saw that the old woman and the old hunter looked like they were dying, his face suddenly changed, and he opened his bright eyes and let out a long roar: "I'm wrong." It's gone!" After saying that, he broke free from the young hunter's hand, threw himself on the bed, held the old woman with one hand, and the old hunter with the other, and said, "It's all my fault, which caused both of you. Now it's over, and it's irreparable. Forgive me, both of you." The old woman said, "Zhong Yu, this is a fake. You took revenge and hated us two. You didn't blame you, but you shouldn't have murdered your son. He is really you. My own flesh and blood, the boss and I are nothing more than decades of fake couples. Am I still lying to you before I die? Are you the same as you when you go to see his chest?" When the Taoist heard this, he roared, and he didn't know Where did the divine power come from? He rushed to the side of the young hunter like a tiger, stretched out his hand and pulled at the young hunter's chest, tore off a large piece, and then tore his clothes on his chest. A fleshy bead with a red spot like a blood in the top.With tears in his eyes, the Taoist took a pack of medicinal noodles from his body, handed it to the young hunter, pointed to Mannia, and said, "Quickly ask your wife to fetch water for you to drink. Fortunately, I saved a hand, otherwise you will not survive. After that, he turned around and asked the old woman sharply, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" The old woman said, "At that time, your nature was like a fire, so how could you allow me to argue? Just raise a knife and kill me. I am pregnant again. If I don't run away, how can I Wouldn’t the lives of mother and child be ruined? After I left you, I suffered so much. I was about to give birth, and I was sick. I had no choice but to make a deal with my boss and become a nominal husband and wife. For 30 years, there has been no We had a bed together. Boss heard that you were worshiped by Ouyang Patriarch, and you refined many poison-fed hidden weapons to take the lives of my whole family. We had no choice but to avoid you. Who knows that you still hate me after 30 years. Not gone. This morning I saw a Taoist on the cliff in front of me. I recognized you. I was shocked and fell down. The boss saw that I was seriously injured. When I was fainted, he wanted to go out to gather celestial grass and save me. I am still alive. When I woke up, I remembered that when the two of you met, both of you must be hurt. I knew that it would be too late to chase the boss back. I was afraid that you would kill my son, so I didn’t ask Da’er to visit. I couldn’t bear it later, so I Ask Da'er to look for the bodies of the two of you. I don't want you to kill him after all. Remembering that the three of us once said 'I can't live together, I hope to die together', today it really came true." , and called Mannia to come closer and said: "I know that the girl doesn't like my son, but he has a rotten bone and a poisonous knife. Although his father came to his senses and gave him the medicine, he can't be cured without March and May. Please. Miss, I want my mother and son to save you, so as to avoid suspicion, after the three of us die, bury the bones and take care of my son before leaving. I will die in Jiuquan, and I am also grateful for your kindness." Mannia was To answer, the old woman was panting and sweating, unable to hold on, she suddenly fell back, her heart pulse was broken, and she died on the bed.Then the old hunter and the Taoist said in unison: "Sister Shu, go slowly, I'm coming!" Before he could finish speaking, the Taoist pulled out an iron dart from his forehead and stabbed it at the throat.When the old hunter saw it, he yelled loudly, and both of them died unexpectedly.
The young hunter saw his mother died, before he could run over there, when he saw the two died at the same time, he fainted from the pain.Mannia was anxious for a while, but she had no choice but to save the lives first.Immediately take the antidote from the young hunter, feed him with water, and help him onto the bed.After searching around the Taoist again, there were still many medicine bags, all marked with directions on the outside, so I put them aside and hid them.Because the old woman was kind to her, she wanted to bathe and change her before the young hunter woke up, and discuss with the young hunter tomorrow morning about the burial plan.Walking up to her and looking, although the old woman had died for a long time, her eyes were still open, and there were still tears in her eye sockets.Mannia smoothed her eyelids with her hands, but they still couldn't close them.Knowing that she was afraid that she would leave the young hunter behind, so she refused to close her eyes, so she silently wished: "The troubled girl has received the grace of saving her life from her parents and mother, no matter how difficult it is, she must take care of brother En's sick body, so that she can recover." Break up; otherwise, can you still be considered a human being?" Unexpectedly, after a while, the old woman still refused to close her eyes.Mannia had no choice but to wash her body and change her clothes before making up her mind.As he was operating, he suddenly heard the young hunter on the bed shout, "I, Wei Da, am so sad!" After saying that, he burst into tears.Mannia's heart was moved, and when she hurried over to look, although the young hunter was awake, his whole body was burning hot, and he was uttering delirium.Knowing that he was seriously injured, he suffered serious accidents in a day, and his illness became worse, and he will never recover for the time being.The burial of the three of them will take a few days, so I may have to handle it by myself.He took two quilts at random and covered the young hunter.Turn around and come to take care of the affairs behind the old lady.Seeing that her eyes were still closed, she thought to herself: "When I was first tortured, because I couldn't speak, I didn't ask their names. Afterwards, my health gradually improved, and I always called them En-Father, En-Mother, and En-Brother. They all refused to tell the truth, but only vaguely agreed. Today, after hearing what the young hunter said in his dream, I found out that his family name is Wei. Master said in the card, that I have a relationship with the surname Wei, but I have been deeply educated by others. En. Now the old couple are all dead, and only he is seriously injured and sick in bed. If you abandon him, he will have no physiology; I have always been grateful for his kindness, so I should take a step back and think: If I hadn’t met him and rescued me here, I would have been buried in the jaws of tigers and wolves. Why don't you go all out and agree to the marriage, so that the dead will rest in peace, and you won't be suspected of being a man or woman in the future? Although it hinders the cultivation of the Tao, the master's last words and the invitation card have already predestined me. I was born with a hard life, so why should I be an ungrateful person?" Thinking of this , couldn't help feeling sad for a while, and silently wished to the old woman with tears in her eyes: "You old man, don't want to die. I promise to do what you said before you were alive." After finishing speaking, the old woman showed a slight smile on her face and closed her eyes.
At this moment Mannia was in a state of disarray.Now that I have acquiesced in others, I no longer have any scruples.After changing the old woman's clothes, he put the old hunter's body in order.First, he took the medicine he should take every day, and then boiled a pot of water.Reopening those medicine bags, there were sure enough medicines for external use to cure poisonous knife wounds, so I took some and applied it to the wound of the young hunter.The young hunter sometimes woke up from crying, and sometimes passed out.Fortunately, it is the end of winter and the mountains are very cold, so there is no need to worry about the corpse rotting.It wasn't until the third day that the young hunter's mind was a little clear.After being seriously injured, the grief was too great, and she passed out from crying several times.After repeated persuasion by Mannia, Xiao thought that the corpse had not been buried, so he should grieve and hold a funeral.Only then did the young hunter realize that if Mannia hadn't given him medicine these past few days, he might have become a foreign body.Seeing that her body is not yet fully recovered, she is working so hard in spite of suspicion, with a white cloth wrapped around her head, the more she thinks about it, the more she feels unhappy, so she wants to stand up and thank her.Mannia quickly pressed him down with her hand and said, "When you saved me, how many times have you seen me thank you? Now we are not the same. You can't get tired, and I'm cured. Don't be sad. Let me take care of you. Everything is up to me." I’m happy to do it. I still have dozens of taels of silver in my bag, and now the bones of my parents are eager to be buried. I just need to tell you how to do it, and I can do it for you.” The young hunter also felt that he really couldn’t move. Grateful, I had to say: "Go down the mountain from the south for more than [-] miles, and when you walk out of the mountain pass, you will see the village and town. Don't worry about money, there are still a lot in the back shop. I asked Enmei to take it and asked the town to send three high-quality coffins. Put the three elders into the coffin first, and wait for brother Yu to recover, then go back to Sichuan with the coffin."
Mannia asked the young hunter again if his surname was Wei.The young hunter was very surprised when he heard this.Mannia uttered the delirium in his dream again, and the young hunter said, "I am Wei Da. My biological father Wei Zhongyu is that Daoist. My stepfather is also surnamed Wei, and his name is Wei Dakun. He is the old man who healed your wounds." Hunter. The cause and effect here is just one more rough idea. At the beginning, my mother, my biological father and stepfather were all from the old Nimen Iron Hand. My biological father is the nephew of Old Nimen Iron Hand. Although my stepfather’s surname is Wei, they have the same surname and different clans. My mother used to have the best relationship with my stepfather. The old nun insisted that my mother marry my biological father. My mother obeyed the teacher's order and had to marry. Two or three years later, she became pregnant. My father was suspicious by nature. Seeing that my mother was still in contact with her stepfather after she got married, she was always angry. Because they were close friends from the same family, it was inconvenient to openly quarrel with each other. It has been a long time since she harbored hatred. Seeing that my mother was not married to him, she vowed not to marry him for life, and often visited my house. This day, my father was ordered by his teacher to go far away. In the deep mountains, except for the extinct flying sword fairy, it is difficult to fly across. My mother and my stepfather had no choice but to play Go for entertainment. The next day, the stepfather wanted to go back, but my mother wanted to keep him After eating some snacks, I left. This meal was delayed for more than half an hour. When I went out, my father came back from the heavy snow. When I got home, I saw my mother was sending my stepfather out, because I didn’t see any footprints in the snow on the original road. Knowing that my stepfather must have not left last night, I became suspicious. At that time, I didn’t ask indiscriminately, and I drew my weapon and killed me. My mother and stepfather knew that it was a coincidence, and they couldn’t be cleared up by jumping into the Yellow River. Regardless of the danger at that time, I will wait for my father to understand in the future, and then reason with him, so the two joined forces to fight against my father. In terms of the skills of the three at the time, only my mother was enough for my father to deal with, let alone my stepfather. But The two old men didn't want to hurt my father, so that they could reunite in the future, and they just wanted to escape. But my father chased hard, desperately, and insulted him unbearably. Seeing that he chased him to the temple where the master lived It's not far away, I'm afraid the master will be alarmed to come out to protect him. Although he is healthy in his heart, he behaves like a real criminal. He can't tell the truth. The master's nature is like a fire. It is impossible to survive. My mother only wants to avoid it, and refuses to fight back. Inattentively, I was knocked down by my father. My stepfather was eager to save my mother, so he also knocked down my father with a hidden weapon and rescued my mother. My mother didn't see my father was hit by the stepfather's hidden weapon at the time, but thought he was Slipped and fell in the snow. I only found out after I escaped. I blamed my stepfather a lot, saying that he shouldn’t have played this dart. I fled to live in a cave, and at the same time asked someone to ask the master to explain to her father. Unexpectedly, the master suspected that my mother was not willing to marry, and with my father's preconceived words, not only refused to break up, but instead Drive my stepfather and mother out of the gate.
"My father suffered from his stepfather and determined to forge poison hidden weapons. He must take revenge. Fortunately, he planned to take the stepfather's head and see it with my mother before killing my mother, so my mother lived alone in the cave. I was murdered by him. After several months, I was suddenly seriously ill before giving birth. At first, I was afraid that my father would be suspicious and wanted to beg for mercy after the child was born, begging him to take back the water, so my stepfather was not allowed to go. Visiting. All my fellow disciples are also because of the master saying bad things about my father, and no one cares about it. Only my stepfather knows my mother’s grievances. Although my mother has repeatedly said that he is not allowed to meet him, he is afraid that my father will secretly kill him. , I chose a remote place nearby to protect secretly. Every morning, I sent the things and food I used outside the cave, but I didn’t meet my mother. At first, my mother thought that a friend of the same school had recited what the master did. Later, she became ill. I don't know about personnel affairs, so my stepfather sent things again, and sent them for two days. Seeing that my mother didn't come out of the cave to pick them up, I was afraid that something might happen. Husband and wife are never reunited, saving people is the most important thing, simply don't avoid suspicion, and work hard day and night. He studied medicine from his ancestors, knew hundreds of herbs, and knew the properties of medicines. He was cured for a month, and his mother unexpectedly gave birth to me. For half a month, my mind cleared up a bit. At first, I was shocked and angry when I saw my stepfather. Later, when I asked about the daily delivery of food and the same illness, I felt grateful to my stepfather for his kindness. The matter has come to this point, so I have to obey.
"When I recovered after giving birth, I was very happy to see that I was a boy with the same red mole on my chest as my father's. After I was raised well, the two discussed it for a while, and my stepfather still carried me to send my mother back to see my father. Explain what happened. As soon as we met, my father couldn't help but shoot three hidden weapons: crossbow arrows, throwing knives, and money darts. If my stepfather hadn't been prepared, I would have been murdered. When he saw all the hidden weapons in his hand, his stepfather took them away Knowing that two fists are hard to beat four hands, he said: "No matter what you say to God, you must avenge the hatred of taking your wife and the hatred of a dart. Unless the two of you beat me to death." We will do it in three years We met. My stepfather and mother had no choice but to flee back. On the one hand, my mother hated my father for being ruthless, and on the other hand, she knew that my stepfather loved her deeply and had no evil intentions. She was already homeless; My ancestor died in the same year, and my father worshiped a Taoist surnamed Ouyang. He forged many poisonous hidden weapons and tried his best to seek revenge from the two of them. He got angry and married my stepfather again. Although they lived together for 30 years , It’s just a couple in name, respect each other, never sleep together. The past has never been hidden from me. I have gone to my father again and again to explain, and every time I was almost met Later, my father's skill became more and more astonishing. My stepfather knew that it was impossible to defeat the enemy, and it would be impossible to survive in a narrow road, so he had to take the whole family and fled here from Sichuan. Because my father's poison weapon is very powerful, he finally found the secret recipe for the antidote and wanted to prepare it As a precaution. My father actually followed me here before all the purchases were complete, and the three old people died together.
"I heard from my mother this morning that she was injured because she was shocked when she saw my father appearing. She stumbled and fell off the cliff, so she didn't know it. Unfortunately, she was a little late in speaking, and my stepfather had already left. After a long wait If I don’t come back, I guess more and more bad luck. When I rushed to take a look, it turned out that one of them was poisoned by a knife, and the other was poisoned by a hidden weapon. They were all wrestling there to save their lives. I was heartbroken at the time, I didn’t know what happened Who should save me? When I stepped forward to pull the two of them apart, my father picked up the poisonous knife on the ground and slapped me twice. I had no choice but to carry my stepfather back first. Later, my mother told me to struggle again. When I was my father, I was half numb.
"When I got there, my father was on the verge of death. He wanted to do something when he saw me go. I snatched his hidden weapon and carried him back by force. I was afraid that my mother would be angry, and I thought it would be fruitless. When people meet before they are about to die, the hatred will be eliminated. My father should have known for a long time, why did such a tragedy happen? The poisonous knife my father used can be cured by his antidote. Only when he turned around and threw away the poisonous arrow, Even he himself has no antidote, my stepfather shot him three arrows in a row, how can he survive? He also shot my stepfather with two poison darts. One was hit on the chest, and it has been pulled out, although it will be dead within three or four hours after seeing blood , can still be rescued. But a poison dart in the forehead has penetrated into the brain, how can it survive? When my mother slipped and fell off the cliff, her heart was shocked by the underground stalagmite. .I used to dream of touching the reunion of the three elders with sincerity in the future, but now it's all over!" After saying that, I cried bitterly.
Mannia comforted him and said, "Now that the three elders are all dead in a foreign land, and you have no brothers or sisters, you have a heavy responsibility. You will only feel sad, and your health will not help. Instead, you will be an unfilial son. If you listen to my advice, treat yourself well." Take care at home, so I can go out with peace of mind, and buy the clothes and coffins of the elders on your behalf. Otherwise, this place is not close to the town, and it will take a long time to carry the coffin, wouldn't it make me feel anxious?" Mannia was afraid that he would be alone at home. The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, and I also found short-sightedness, so I said this.Wei Da originally fell in love at first sight when he rescued Mannia, but because he always regarded himself as a hero, he didn't want to take advantage of others' danger and showed it.Mrs. Wei guessed what her son wanted, and mentioned it to him several times, but he refused.During these days together, Aimiao has gradually grown and prospered in his heart, no matter how he arranges it, he can't let go of it. When he thinks that Mannia will break up soon after he recovers, he feels a little depressed.Today, when I saw Mannia not avoiding suspicion, she took care of her own sick body and the death of the elders, sincerely comforted her from time to time, and expressed her affection everywhere.Thinking about what Mannia said was very reasonable, I had to obey Mannia's persuasion and grieve.
(End of this chapter)
Mannia took a closer look, and shouted: "No!" Fortunately, she had the sword in her hand, and quickly threw off the scabbard.It was too late to say it, but it was so fast, the sword had just come out of the box, and the thing jumped towards Mannia's head.Mannia didn't hesitate, she put her feet on the pads, and jumped out sideways.Then he raised the sword in his hand and lifted it up, a white light passed by, and circled around the seven-inch side of the thing. A snake head the size of a rice bowl flew straight up to a height of more than ten feet.That part of the snake's body carried a gust of wind, its red scales were dazzling, reflecting the sun, like a chain of fire, it flew from Mannia's head for tens of feet before landing on the ground.Mannia first heard the wind and looked back, and saw a black thing riding on the snake's head, like the little black man she saw just now.After killing the snake, I went to look for it, but it was nowhere to be found.If you look closely at the big snake, it is the same as the one you saw when you mistakenly beheaded the tortoise and snake before, and there are continuous scars under the seven-inch hole.Knowing that this kind of red snake is extremely poisonous, fearing that it will come back to life and harm people, no matter if it is the previous snake or not, he swung his sword, first cut it into four pieces including head and body, and then cut each piece into countless small pieces , just stop.Feeling that his hand was a little wet, he looked down and saw that the small figure on the root of black sesame in his hand had somehow broken an arm by Mannia inadvertently, and a pale blue-colored white paste flowed out.Mannia thought that the elixir was a pity, so she sucked on the villain's severed arm, the taste was sweet, and the strange fragrance was pungent and intoxicating.Xide Mannia wanted to inhale with all her strength, suddenly felt dizzy and dizzy, she felt evil in her heart, two temples were staring, one couldn't hold on, fell on the spot, unconscious.
When I woke up, I saw that I was sleeping in a bunk in a cliff cave, and there were two hunters sitting beside me, one old and one young.The old one was sitting next to an earthen stove, smoking a five or six-foot-long dry pipe, and from time to time he took some dead branches to add fire to the stove.With a beard and piercing eyes, he looks very tall and has a very tough demeanor.The young one was hulking and heroic, and he was still dressed as a hunter.Sitting on the side of the old hunter, there are more than a dozen sealworts and taro piled up in front of him, holding a small knife in his hand, and he is peeling there non-stop.On the surrounding walls, there are skins of tigers, leopards, wolves and wild animals, as well as various weapons, bows and crossbows.Mannia was amazed that she had somehow come here.Just as he was about to get up from the bed, he suddenly felt a sharp pain all over his body, his limbs were weak, and he talked about getting out of bed, but he couldn't even get up.The two hunters heard Mannia turning on the bed, the younger one called Daddy and pouted on the bunk.The old hunter came over and said to Mannia: "Young lady, don't turn around, you are poisoned. Fortunately, you have very good internal energy, and you got half a piece of Queen Mother Grass. By chance, I met my son hunting and carried you back. I I rescued you with the half piece of Queen Mother Grass you got. Now you have lost your vitality, and you will have to raise it for at least three or four months before you can go to the ground. If you want your body to recover, it will take more than half a year. I have called me My wife has gone to look for medicine for you. If you can get two more pieces of Queen Mother Grass, you will recover faster. You are too tired right now, so let’s rest for a while, and talk later when you have something to say.” The young hunter also said Walked over and interjected: "Daddy said so, how can the girl understand? We are originally from Sichuan. Because of something, my parents and I were forced to go to a foreign country. My father can prepare many herbs, and he knows the elixir of Xianxialing There are many, and I came here to look for them. I like hunting the most. Yesterday I went to Qianling to hunt and came back. I suddenly saw a big snake with a broken head in the grass. It must be a person with great ability." Just as I was thinking about going forward, I saw countless broken snake bodies, so I followed and looked for it. I saw the girl lying on the ground, dead, holding a fairy tree and half a snake in her hand. Queen Mother Grass. I didn’t recognize these elixir. Because I saw that the girl’s sword was very human, the snake must have been cut by the girl. I thought that the girl was poisoned by the snake’s poison after cutting the snake. I admire the girl’s great ability and courage. Eliminate harm for the world. Seeing that the girl still has heat in her chest, and the elixir my father prepared can bring the dead back to life, he carried you back for treatment. My father said that what you were poisoned was not snake poison, but the poison of immortals. I made Ganoderma lucidum and took it. Fortunately, your internal strength is very deep, and you did not die at that time. In addition, the half piece of queen mother grass you got is a rare panacea that can bring the dead back to life. My father first used the queen mother I will take the grass for you, and I will treat you with the elixir hidden at home. Because of the lack of a medicinal herb as an introduction, my mother went to Houling to search for it, but she has not returned. Although my father and son are hunters who gather herbs, they are not dirty. If the girl is very close to her hometown, when her mother comes back, after taking the second medicine, I will pack you up and live in a place for a few days, and we will dare to send you home when the doctor is good enough. If you are far away from home, you have to Wait until she recovers at my house before leaving. I know that the girl is in a hurry, and we have never met before, so she must be eager to know the origins of my father and son, so I took the liberty to explain to you. Daddy said that the girl should not bother you, it is best to do what I say, and there is no need to answer This is a matter of life and death, please don't be careless, the more careful you are, the faster you will recover."
After hearing this, Mannia understood a general idea.What he misses most in his heart is his own precious sword. Seeing that it is hanging beside the shop, he is not lost, so he is relieved.Due to mental weakness and exhaustion, after thinking about it for a while, I felt panic in my heart, gold stars appeared in my temples, and I had a splitting headache.I also saw that the two hunters spoke sincerely and behaved well. The matter has come to this point, so I have to accept their kindness and let him heal.I still want to say a few words of gratitude in my heart, but my breath is like a gossamer, it just swirls in my throat, and I can't open my mouth.Only then did he realize that what he said was true, so he nodded slightly at the two hunters as a thank you, then closed his eyes and rested his mind.After a while, he passed out again.
After a while, I felt that someone was helping me, and when I opened my eyes, it was already dark.The young hunter was standing in front of the bunk with a torch in his hand and an earthen pot in the other.An elderly woman with a white beard like silver, supported her head with one hand, used a wooden ladle to hold the medicine in the earthen pot, and was feeding herself mouthful by mouthful.Seeing Mannia wake up, the old woman said with a smile, "Young lady has been injured for killing the world." After finishing speaking, she reached out to touch Mannia's belly, and said, "Young lady, hurry up." Hearing this, the young hunter stuck the torch in the crevices of the rocks, brought over a large pot of hot water, took a clay bowl and put it on the spot, and then withdrew.After the young hunter left, Mannia also felt a pain in her stomach, as if something was strangling her intestines, she knew she had to act, so she wanted to expose her quilt to the ground.However, his body was so weak that he couldn't move, and his hands and feet were so heavy that he couldn't lift them up.The old woman said: "Miss, don't worry, you are old." After finishing speaking, she closed the damper first, turned around and uncovered Mannia's quilt, took off her small and medium clothes first, inserted one hand into the back of Mannia's neck, and held it with the other Mannia's legs were bent.Mannia was worrying that she would not be able to lift her up when she was old, but the old woman was so strong that she picked up Mannia like a kitten.As soon as she held the earthen bowl, Mannia couldn't bear it any longer, she burbled repeatedly, urine and feces came all over, she spilled a large earthen bowl, and the stench was incomparable.Immediately, I felt relieved, and my heart relaxed a lot.The old woman wiped Mannia's filth, carried Mannia to the bed, covered her with a quilt without giving her any clothes, and went out with a clay bowl.
After a while, I heard the old woman talking in the house outside, and vaguely heard the young hunter say: "Mother, don't worry about me. When I was young, I just lay on the floor. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda." The old woman said: "Usually I'm a vegetarian, but you persuaded me to go hunting and killing every day, and now I'm merciful again. She is a woman, and she was poisoned so deeply. In some places, you and your father can't come close to me. Help. You are a filial son, and you will try to torture my wife alone." The young hunter said a few more words, but he didn't listen.I heard the old woman say again: "Mother is just kidding you. I want to do good deeds every day and cultivate the next life. If you give me the opportunity to do good deeds today, why are you still lazy? She has just finished her action now, and the medicine soup is too hot. Let her Breathe slowly, and wash her again. It’s just that your father said, from now on, take medicine, bathe her every morning and evening, and do things for several days, and it will take more than ten days for the poison to go away.” The young hunter said: "Everything is up to my mother to save her. After giving her a bath when I was young, I am a man after all. Although I am good at saving people, I am afraid that people will be careless, so I will not go in." The old woman said again: "I said you child , Anticlimactic, don’t wipe your ass when you do things, right? How did you bring me back? Now you’re avoiding suspicion again. As long as we have a clean heart, we have a clear conscience. Next to it. After taking the medicine for more than ten days, her body is getting weaker every day. I don’t talk about it during the day and help her get up to take the medicine at night. How can I do it by myself?” Hearing this, the young hunter was speechless.
The old woman walked in immediately and touched the local wooden basin first.After waiting for a while, he came over, picked up Mannia still, and put it in the wooden basin.Mannia smelled the medicinal fragrance, and knew that the medicinal soup was cooked in the wooden basin.The old woman first took the dregs of the medicine from the basin and rubbed Mannia's whole body, and finally washed her whole body with a basin of traditional Chinese medicine soup.Mannia was exhausted and weak, she had to scrub and wash with the help of the old woman, then wiped dry with a clean coarse cloth next to the basin, and carried her to bed.The woman took another set of medium and small clothes, and said to Mannia, "Miss, you can't wear any more clothes. These are two coarse clothes for an old man. If you feel wronged, just wear them." Unexpectedly, he is not afraid of filth, and serves himself diligently.Thinking of being alone at a young age, never being loved by relatives, spending half of my life, but escaping from death in this remote mountainous place, being pitied by others, I feel sad for a while, but I can't shed tears.He thought to himself: "The three hunters, their parents and son, are all so kind-hearted and brave in doing what is right. When things get better in the future, I must repay others with all my heart." I remembered the conversation between his mother and son in the outer room just now, and it was rare that the young hunter also That's how it goes.I also saw that his house was poorly furnished and lived in a bunk in a cliff cave. He must be a poor hunter.The most uncomfortable thing is that there are thousands of words of gratitude in my heart, but I can't say a single one.
Just as she was thinking wildly, the old woman sensed it, and touched Mannia with her hand, and said, "Miss, don't feel bad, think about it, I know the girl has something to say, but it doesn't matter, we can all guess it. If you have something to say, you are in good health." Is it different? Don’t look at us as poor, let’s tell you the truth, now we don’t have to worry about food and clothing, just to avoid people’s eyes and ears, and look poor on the outside.” Before the words were finished, someone in the outer room said "Young lady has been severely poisoned, I can't even bother you, so please don't say a few words." The old woman immediately stopped talking when she heard this, and only advised Mannia not to feel sorry for her, but to take care of herself at ease.When Mannia heard the old hunter's voice outside, her tone seemed to warn the old woman not to speak too much.I understand that he is afraid that the old woman will slip up and reveal his behavior.Guessing that this family must be an extraordinary generation, suffering from being unable to speak, unable to ask people's names, I had to bear it all in my heart.After a while, the young hunter came in with a bowl of things from outside and stood in front of the bed.The old woman said: "Young lady can't eat other things, this is boiled Huang Jing, young lady, please eat some." After finishing speaking, the old woman still supported Mannia's head, and fed it spoonful by spoonful from the young hunter's hand. Mannia eats.The tip of Mannia's tongue was numb, and she couldn't taste anything.The old woman didn't give Mannia more to eat, she ate five or six spoonfuls and ordered her to go away.In the middle of the night, Mannia moved a few more times, and all of them were scrubbed with the support of the old woman herself.Although Mannia couldn't bear it, she was helpless.
After seven or eight days like this, it's all the same.It only made Mannia exhausted, and her breath was like a gossamer.Fortunately, the old hunter used laxatives to poison him, and at the same time he used tonics to boost his Qi.Otherwise, no matter how good Ren Manniang's internal strength is, it would be difficult to support her.I didn't live with diarrhea until the evening of the ninth day.The old hunter went into the house and said to Mannia: "Congratulations, miss, today you are out of the catastrophe!" Because Mannia obeyed the hunter's family's order, since she was poisoned, she hasn't said a word, and she can't even mention it. angry.After taking the medicine and diarrhea for the past few days, although my body is getting weaker day by day, my heart is getting more comfortable day by day.That night, I drank another bowl of porridge cooked with sealwort and rice, and since then I have seen better day by day.It took another five or six days before I could speak.Seeing how kind and generous the whole family was to her, especially the young hunter who was so considerate and caring towards her, Mannia was so grateful that she couldn't even say a word of thanks.
Unexpectedly, Mannia's illness had been cured for less than two months, and she was just able to walk on the ground, when the old woman suddenly went outside to pick up dead branches one night, and she stumbled and fell from the cliff.When her son went to the town to buy rice salt and came back to save him, his heart and lungs were already shaken, and he bled so much that it seemed hopeless.Not only the old hunters and their sons were very sad and anxious, but also Mannia was so filthy at such an old age, and worked hard day and night, that she had just been brought back to life, and before she could repay her kindness, Mannia was also sad to see her dying. To the extreme.Happily, blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes never come singly.When the old woman's life was dying, the old hunter and his wife were in love, and they wanted to make a contingency plan, ordered their son to serve at home, and went out with their own weapons, hoping to find some elixir to bring the dead back to life and save his wife's life.After the old hunter left, the young hunter and Mannia stood in front of the old woman's shop and served them wholeheartedly, hoping that the old hunter could find the elixir when he went out.Mannia was so anxious that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the gods and Buddhas to bless the benevolent, and kept making wishes.Seeing Mannia's anxious look, the old woman couldn't help showing a smile on her face, called Mannia to her face, and said, "Miss, you are so kind! If I had someone like you..." When she said this, she suddenly stopped talking. , glanced at the young hunter, and sighed deeply again.Mannia was worrying in her heart, but at that time she didn't realize the deep meaning of the old woman's words.Until it got dark, the old hunter still hadn't turned around. Both the young hunter and the old woman became anxious.Seeing that the young hunter didn't go, the old woman scolded, "Unfilial beast! You still only know how to be filial to your mother, but not your father? If you don't go away, I'll be bumped to death!" Seeing that the old woman was angry, Mannia persuaded the young hunter, "Yes." Just go, brother, your mother is my mother, and I will serve you with all my heart." The young hunter repeatedly told Mannia quietly that besides serving by the side, the first thing is not to leave the house.After that, with painful tears in his eyes, he said several times: "Mother, take care, I will go to my father and come back." Then he took the weapon and walked away.
What Mannia said was an unintentional remark, and after the young hunter left, the old woman called Mannia to the bed and said, "Well, what you just said to my son is that you really want to call me your mother." What?" Mannia couldn't help being moved when she heard the words, she suddenly remembered that the old woman's words just now had a lot of meaning, she was deeply favored by others, and he was ill, so in a hurry, she didn't know how to answer correctly.As soon as she pondered, the old woman understood that Mannia was unwilling, so her expression changed, she sighed, and bowed her head in silence.It took Mannia a long time to reply: "My daughter is willing to worship at the knees of benefactors and benefactors as the daughter of mothflies." At this time, the old woman became more panting and abdominal pain, and her face was as white as paper. Hearing Mannia's words, she just shook her head and trembled. She said to Mannia, "Go and draw some new spring with me." Mannia often looked at the door for several days, knowing that there was a spring in front of the cave, so she took the water ladle and walked outside the door.As soon as she went out, she seemed to hear the old woman tossing and turning on the bed. Mannia was afraid that she would get out of bed and walk around, so she quickly stepped back and looked around. The old woman really fell to the ground, took a hunting knife off the wall with her hand, and was about to kill herself.Mannia was taken aback, in a moment of anxiety, ignoring her weakness after illness, she leaped forward, grabbed the old woman's arm, snatched the knife from her, and forced her onto the bed.At this time, the old woman's neck was hung by the blade, and the blood flowed down. Mannia was so exhausted that she was out of breath and her heart was pounding.The old woman was even more breathless, with two dim eyes open, she looked at Mannia without saying a word.Mannia regained her composure, and continued to comfort her, asking the old woman why she was like this, but the old woman just didn't speak.
Mannia was anxious, when suddenly there was a knock at the door, and the young hunter ran in, covered in blood, carrying the half-dead body of the old hunter on his back.The old woman saw several wounds on the old hunter's head and body, as if she had expected this incident, she said to the young hunter, "Is he dying too?" The young hunter smiled with tears in his eyes. nodded.The old woman smiled and said: "That's good, it's still clean, the only problem is that he doesn't know my heart." Mannia was busy bandaging the old hunter's wound first, the old woman tremblingly said: "The small hole in the wall There is the wound medicine we prepared in it, so put my son on the wound first. Neither he nor I can survive." Mannia saw that the woman and the young hunter were very indifferent to the old hunter, and the old hunter Zhou He was seriously injured, lying on the bunk, not even saying a word, so strange.The three benefactors, apart from being seriously injured, were dying, and they didn't know which side to be busy with. Hearing what the old woman said, they had to go to treat the young hunter's wound first.At this time, the young hunter had abandoned the old hunter, and knelt down in front of the old woman. When he saw Mannia coming to apply medicine for him, he stopped him with his hands, begging Mannia to go and apply the medicine for the old hunter.Before the words were finished, the old woman suddenly said sharply: "Disobedient son! Do you know that this man is no longer alive? What are you doing with these nonsense things? I want you to bind up your wound and go find him to meet me." When speaking, he used too much force, the young hunter saw the scar on the old woman's neck, and hurriedly said: "Mother, are you in a hurry again? The child must go. I also invited him just now, but he refused to come and was willing to die on the slope ahead. Dad He was seriously injured again, so he had to carry it back first." After saying that, she let Mannia wrap up his wound, gritted her teeth and endured the pain, and walked outside.
Not long after he left, another old man dressed up in Taoism came in and got a dart on his forehead. Although he was not dead, he was only dying.At first the old Taoist seemed angry and refused to come in, but when he saw that the old woman and the old hunter looked like they were dying, his face suddenly changed, and he opened his bright eyes and let out a long roar: "I'm wrong." It's gone!" After saying that, he broke free from the young hunter's hand, threw himself on the bed, held the old woman with one hand, and the old hunter with the other, and said, "It's all my fault, which caused both of you. Now it's over, and it's irreparable. Forgive me, both of you." The old woman said, "Zhong Yu, this is a fake. You took revenge and hated us two. You didn't blame you, but you shouldn't have murdered your son. He is really you. My own flesh and blood, the boss and I are nothing more than decades of fake couples. Am I still lying to you before I die? Are you the same as you when you go to see his chest?" When the Taoist heard this, he roared, and he didn't know Where did the divine power come from? He rushed to the side of the young hunter like a tiger, stretched out his hand and pulled at the young hunter's chest, tore off a large piece, and then tore his clothes on his chest. A fleshy bead with a red spot like a blood in the top.With tears in his eyes, the Taoist took a pack of medicinal noodles from his body, handed it to the young hunter, pointed to Mannia, and said, "Quickly ask your wife to fetch water for you to drink. Fortunately, I saved a hand, otherwise you will not survive. After that, he turned around and asked the old woman sharply, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" The old woman said, "At that time, your nature was like a fire, so how could you allow me to argue? Just raise a knife and kill me. I am pregnant again. If I don't run away, how can I Wouldn’t the lives of mother and child be ruined? After I left you, I suffered so much. I was about to give birth, and I was sick. I had no choice but to make a deal with my boss and become a nominal husband and wife. For 30 years, there has been no We had a bed together. Boss heard that you were worshiped by Ouyang Patriarch, and you refined many poison-fed hidden weapons to take the lives of my whole family. We had no choice but to avoid you. Who knows that you still hate me after 30 years. Not gone. This morning I saw a Taoist on the cliff in front of me. I recognized you. I was shocked and fell down. The boss saw that I was seriously injured. When I was fainted, he wanted to go out to gather celestial grass and save me. I am still alive. When I woke up, I remembered that when the two of you met, both of you must be hurt. I knew that it would be too late to chase the boss back. I was afraid that you would kill my son, so I didn’t ask Da’er to visit. I couldn’t bear it later, so I Ask Da'er to look for the bodies of the two of you. I don't want you to kill him after all. Remembering that the three of us once said 'I can't live together, I hope to die together', today it really came true." , and called Mannia to come closer and said: "I know that the girl doesn't like my son, but he has a rotten bone and a poisonous knife. Although his father came to his senses and gave him the medicine, he can't be cured without March and May. Please. Miss, I want my mother and son to save you, so as to avoid suspicion, after the three of us die, bury the bones and take care of my son before leaving. I will die in Jiuquan, and I am also grateful for your kindness." Mannia was To answer, the old woman was panting and sweating, unable to hold on, she suddenly fell back, her heart pulse was broken, and she died on the bed.Then the old hunter and the Taoist said in unison: "Sister Shu, go slowly, I'm coming!" Before he could finish speaking, the Taoist pulled out an iron dart from his forehead and stabbed it at the throat.When the old hunter saw it, he yelled loudly, and both of them died unexpectedly.
The young hunter saw his mother died, before he could run over there, when he saw the two died at the same time, he fainted from the pain.Mannia was anxious for a while, but she had no choice but to save the lives first.Immediately take the antidote from the young hunter, feed him with water, and help him onto the bed.After searching around the Taoist again, there were still many medicine bags, all marked with directions on the outside, so I put them aside and hid them.Because the old woman was kind to her, she wanted to bathe and change her before the young hunter woke up, and discuss with the young hunter tomorrow morning about the burial plan.Walking up to her and looking, although the old woman had died for a long time, her eyes were still open, and there were still tears in her eye sockets.Mannia smoothed her eyelids with her hands, but they still couldn't close them.Knowing that she was afraid that she would leave the young hunter behind, so she refused to close her eyes, so she silently wished: "The troubled girl has received the grace of saving her life from her parents and mother, no matter how difficult it is, she must take care of brother En's sick body, so that she can recover." Break up; otherwise, can you still be considered a human being?" Unexpectedly, after a while, the old woman still refused to close her eyes.Mannia had no choice but to wash her body and change her clothes before making up her mind.As he was operating, he suddenly heard the young hunter on the bed shout, "I, Wei Da, am so sad!" After saying that, he burst into tears.Mannia's heart was moved, and when she hurried over to look, although the young hunter was awake, his whole body was burning hot, and he was uttering delirium.Knowing that he was seriously injured, he suffered serious accidents in a day, and his illness became worse, and he will never recover for the time being.The burial of the three of them will take a few days, so I may have to handle it by myself.He took two quilts at random and covered the young hunter.Turn around and come to take care of the affairs behind the old lady.Seeing that her eyes were still closed, she thought to herself: "When I was first tortured, because I couldn't speak, I didn't ask their names. Afterwards, my health gradually improved, and I always called them En-Father, En-Mother, and En-Brother. They all refused to tell the truth, but only vaguely agreed. Today, after hearing what the young hunter said in his dream, I found out that his family name is Wei. Master said in the card, that I have a relationship with the surname Wei, but I have been deeply educated by others. En. Now the old couple are all dead, and only he is seriously injured and sick in bed. If you abandon him, he will have no physiology; I have always been grateful for his kindness, so I should take a step back and think: If I hadn’t met him and rescued me here, I would have been buried in the jaws of tigers and wolves. Why don't you go all out and agree to the marriage, so that the dead will rest in peace, and you won't be suspected of being a man or woman in the future? Although it hinders the cultivation of the Tao, the master's last words and the invitation card have already predestined me. I was born with a hard life, so why should I be an ungrateful person?" Thinking of this , couldn't help feeling sad for a while, and silently wished to the old woman with tears in her eyes: "You old man, don't want to die. I promise to do what you said before you were alive." After finishing speaking, the old woman showed a slight smile on her face and closed her eyes.
At this moment Mannia was in a state of disarray.Now that I have acquiesced in others, I no longer have any scruples.After changing the old woman's clothes, he put the old hunter's body in order.First, he took the medicine he should take every day, and then boiled a pot of water.Reopening those medicine bags, there were sure enough medicines for external use to cure poisonous knife wounds, so I took some and applied it to the wound of the young hunter.The young hunter sometimes woke up from crying, and sometimes passed out.Fortunately, it is the end of winter and the mountains are very cold, so there is no need to worry about the corpse rotting.It wasn't until the third day that the young hunter's mind was a little clear.After being seriously injured, the grief was too great, and she passed out from crying several times.After repeated persuasion by Mannia, Xiao thought that the corpse had not been buried, so he should grieve and hold a funeral.Only then did the young hunter realize that if Mannia hadn't given him medicine these past few days, he might have become a foreign body.Seeing that her body is not yet fully recovered, she is working so hard in spite of suspicion, with a white cloth wrapped around her head, the more she thinks about it, the more she feels unhappy, so she wants to stand up and thank her.Mannia quickly pressed him down with her hand and said, "When you saved me, how many times have you seen me thank you? Now we are not the same. You can't get tired, and I'm cured. Don't be sad. Let me take care of you. Everything is up to me." I’m happy to do it. I still have dozens of taels of silver in my bag, and now the bones of my parents are eager to be buried. I just need to tell you how to do it, and I can do it for you.” The young hunter also felt that he really couldn’t move. Grateful, I had to say: "Go down the mountain from the south for more than [-] miles, and when you walk out of the mountain pass, you will see the village and town. Don't worry about money, there are still a lot in the back shop. I asked Enmei to take it and asked the town to send three high-quality coffins. Put the three elders into the coffin first, and wait for brother Yu to recover, then go back to Sichuan with the coffin."
Mannia asked the young hunter again if his surname was Wei.The young hunter was very surprised when he heard this.Mannia uttered the delirium in his dream again, and the young hunter said, "I am Wei Da. My biological father Wei Zhongyu is that Daoist. My stepfather is also surnamed Wei, and his name is Wei Dakun. He is the old man who healed your wounds." Hunter. The cause and effect here is just one more rough idea. At the beginning, my mother, my biological father and stepfather were all from the old Nimen Iron Hand. My biological father is the nephew of Old Nimen Iron Hand. Although my stepfather’s surname is Wei, they have the same surname and different clans. My mother used to have the best relationship with my stepfather. The old nun insisted that my mother marry my biological father. My mother obeyed the teacher's order and had to marry. Two or three years later, she became pregnant. My father was suspicious by nature. Seeing that my mother was still in contact with her stepfather after she got married, she was always angry. Because they were close friends from the same family, it was inconvenient to openly quarrel with each other. It has been a long time since she harbored hatred. Seeing that my mother was not married to him, she vowed not to marry him for life, and often visited my house. This day, my father was ordered by his teacher to go far away. In the deep mountains, except for the extinct flying sword fairy, it is difficult to fly across. My mother and my stepfather had no choice but to play Go for entertainment. The next day, the stepfather wanted to go back, but my mother wanted to keep him After eating some snacks, I left. This meal was delayed for more than half an hour. When I went out, my father came back from the heavy snow. When I got home, I saw my mother was sending my stepfather out, because I didn’t see any footprints in the snow on the original road. Knowing that my stepfather must have not left last night, I became suspicious. At that time, I didn’t ask indiscriminately, and I drew my weapon and killed me. My mother and stepfather knew that it was a coincidence, and they couldn’t be cleared up by jumping into the Yellow River. Regardless of the danger at that time, I will wait for my father to understand in the future, and then reason with him, so the two joined forces to fight against my father. In terms of the skills of the three at the time, only my mother was enough for my father to deal with, let alone my stepfather. But The two old men didn't want to hurt my father, so that they could reunite in the future, and they just wanted to escape. But my father chased hard, desperately, and insulted him unbearably. Seeing that he chased him to the temple where the master lived It's not far away, I'm afraid the master will be alarmed to come out to protect him. Although he is healthy in his heart, he behaves like a real criminal. He can't tell the truth. The master's nature is like a fire. It is impossible to survive. My mother only wants to avoid it, and refuses to fight back. Inattentively, I was knocked down by my father. My stepfather was eager to save my mother, so he also knocked down my father with a hidden weapon and rescued my mother. My mother didn't see my father was hit by the stepfather's hidden weapon at the time, but thought he was Slipped and fell in the snow. I only found out after I escaped. I blamed my stepfather a lot, saying that he shouldn’t have played this dart. I fled to live in a cave, and at the same time asked someone to ask the master to explain to her father. Unexpectedly, the master suspected that my mother was not willing to marry, and with my father's preconceived words, not only refused to break up, but instead Drive my stepfather and mother out of the gate.
"My father suffered from his stepfather and determined to forge poison hidden weapons. He must take revenge. Fortunately, he planned to take the stepfather's head and see it with my mother before killing my mother, so my mother lived alone in the cave. I was murdered by him. After several months, I was suddenly seriously ill before giving birth. At first, I was afraid that my father would be suspicious and wanted to beg for mercy after the child was born, begging him to take back the water, so my stepfather was not allowed to go. Visiting. All my fellow disciples are also because of the master saying bad things about my father, and no one cares about it. Only my stepfather knows my mother’s grievances. Although my mother has repeatedly said that he is not allowed to meet him, he is afraid that my father will secretly kill him. , I chose a remote place nearby to protect secretly. Every morning, I sent the things and food I used outside the cave, but I didn’t meet my mother. At first, my mother thought that a friend of the same school had recited what the master did. Later, she became ill. I don't know about personnel affairs, so my stepfather sent things again, and sent them for two days. Seeing that my mother didn't come out of the cave to pick them up, I was afraid that something might happen. Husband and wife are never reunited, saving people is the most important thing, simply don't avoid suspicion, and work hard day and night. He studied medicine from his ancestors, knew hundreds of herbs, and knew the properties of medicines. He was cured for a month, and his mother unexpectedly gave birth to me. For half a month, my mind cleared up a bit. At first, I was shocked and angry when I saw my stepfather. Later, when I asked about the daily delivery of food and the same illness, I felt grateful to my stepfather for his kindness. The matter has come to this point, so I have to obey.
"When I recovered after giving birth, I was very happy to see that I was a boy with the same red mole on my chest as my father's. After I was raised well, the two discussed it for a while, and my stepfather still carried me to send my mother back to see my father. Explain what happened. As soon as we met, my father couldn't help but shoot three hidden weapons: crossbow arrows, throwing knives, and money darts. If my stepfather hadn't been prepared, I would have been murdered. When he saw all the hidden weapons in his hand, his stepfather took them away Knowing that two fists are hard to beat four hands, he said: "No matter what you say to God, you must avenge the hatred of taking your wife and the hatred of a dart. Unless the two of you beat me to death." We will do it in three years We met. My stepfather and mother had no choice but to flee back. On the one hand, my mother hated my father for being ruthless, and on the other hand, she knew that my stepfather loved her deeply and had no evil intentions. She was already homeless; My ancestor died in the same year, and my father worshiped a Taoist surnamed Ouyang. He forged many poisonous hidden weapons and tried his best to seek revenge from the two of them. He got angry and married my stepfather again. Although they lived together for 30 years , It’s just a couple in name, respect each other, never sleep together. The past has never been hidden from me. I have gone to my father again and again to explain, and every time I was almost met Later, my father's skill became more and more astonishing. My stepfather knew that it was impossible to defeat the enemy, and it would be impossible to survive in a narrow road, so he had to take the whole family and fled here from Sichuan. Because my father's poison weapon is very powerful, he finally found the secret recipe for the antidote and wanted to prepare it As a precaution. My father actually followed me here before all the purchases were complete, and the three old people died together.
"I heard from my mother this morning that she was injured because she was shocked when she saw my father appearing. She stumbled and fell off the cliff, so she didn't know it. Unfortunately, she was a little late in speaking, and my stepfather had already left. After a long wait If I don’t come back, I guess more and more bad luck. When I rushed to take a look, it turned out that one of them was poisoned by a knife, and the other was poisoned by a hidden weapon. They were all wrestling there to save their lives. I was heartbroken at the time, I didn’t know what happened Who should save me? When I stepped forward to pull the two of them apart, my father picked up the poisonous knife on the ground and slapped me twice. I had no choice but to carry my stepfather back first. Later, my mother told me to struggle again. When I was my father, I was half numb.
"When I got there, my father was on the verge of death. He wanted to do something when he saw me go. I snatched his hidden weapon and carried him back by force. I was afraid that my mother would be angry, and I thought it would be fruitless. When people meet before they are about to die, the hatred will be eliminated. My father should have known for a long time, why did such a tragedy happen? The poisonous knife my father used can be cured by his antidote. Only when he turned around and threw away the poisonous arrow, Even he himself has no antidote, my stepfather shot him three arrows in a row, how can he survive? He also shot my stepfather with two poison darts. One was hit on the chest, and it has been pulled out, although it will be dead within three or four hours after seeing blood , can still be rescued. But a poison dart in the forehead has penetrated into the brain, how can it survive? When my mother slipped and fell off the cliff, her heart was shocked by the underground stalagmite. .I used to dream of touching the reunion of the three elders with sincerity in the future, but now it's all over!" After saying that, I cried bitterly.
Mannia comforted him and said, "Now that the three elders are all dead in a foreign land, and you have no brothers or sisters, you have a heavy responsibility. You will only feel sad, and your health will not help. Instead, you will be an unfilial son. If you listen to my advice, treat yourself well." Take care at home, so I can go out with peace of mind, and buy the clothes and coffins of the elders on your behalf. Otherwise, this place is not close to the town, and it will take a long time to carry the coffin, wouldn't it make me feel anxious?" Mannia was afraid that he would be alone at home. The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, and I also found short-sightedness, so I said this.Wei Da originally fell in love at first sight when he rescued Mannia, but because he always regarded himself as a hero, he didn't want to take advantage of others' danger and showed it.Mrs. Wei guessed what her son wanted, and mentioned it to him several times, but he refused.During these days together, Aimiao has gradually grown and prospered in his heart, no matter how he arranges it, he can't let go of it. When he thinks that Mannia will break up soon after he recovers, he feels a little depressed.Today, when I saw Mannia not avoiding suspicion, she took care of her own sick body and the death of the elders, sincerely comforted her from time to time, and expressed her affection everywhere.Thinking about what Mannia said was very reasonable, I had to obey Mannia's persuasion and grieve.
