Chapter 88 I don’t know what year it is today
What a crime! Last night, the land lord was so angry that he shook the mountains, and today there was a monster going through the tribulation. There was lightning and thunder, and heavy rain poured down. After a whole day of tossing, I finally made it to nightfall. I thought I could have a good sleep, but it happened that the thatched hut was closed again. The roof was blown away by the mountain wind, and it looked like a water curtain cave.
"His grandma's!" Jia Sanlang cursed, and had to grit his teeth and go to mend the roof in the dark.
Since the last time, the fairy in the cave really followed Maitreya Buddha to the Western Paradise. This thief woman has been living like a demon. Without the intimidation of the nearby gods and Buddhas, she has revealed a ferocious face, ferocious, ugly and lazy. Taking advantage of everything, after all these years, the docility of the past is gone.
"There is no other way, the sun and the moon must be pushed down!" Jia Sanlang thought this, and with a little bit of hatred, he climbed down the ladder again, picked up the thatch in the muddy water, and went to find the ladder step by step.
The mountain wind and rain made it uncomfortable to open my eyes, and it was also uncomfortable not to open my eyes. Amid the darkness, my feet slipped and I fell again.
"Fuck you eighteen generations of ancestors!" Thinking about the past, he also determined to be an expert hermit, practice martial arts, and come to the Central Plains from outside the country to seek enlightenment. He never expected to end up like this - in the past, this stall The son himself should be sheltering from the rain, while the thief woman should be the one who braves the rain to repair the house! Thinking of this, his hatred increased by two points, and he couldn't help but add: "I curse you to a bad death!"
A bolt of lightning tore through the night sky, and a row of black figures suddenly stood in front of him. With a loud "click", "Oh my God!" Jia Sanlang lay in the quagmire and yelled: "The Yin soldiers are borrowing the way!"
A pair of iron hands picked him up and said "Hey" again: "What a strange internal skill!"
Another said harshly: "Don't be afraid, we are human beings!"
With a pull, but feeling the warmth, Jia Sanlang took back his two souls and five souls.
The man said harshly: "Leave two to patch up the roof, and the rest, go in and take shelter!"
After confirming that it was a human being, Jia Sanlang showed the demeanor of a martial arts practitioner and said enthusiastically: "It's raining hard, hurry up and take shelter!" As he said this, he went into the house to greet him.
"This worthless thing has been repaired, and you dare to come in? Don't even think about touching my aunt tonight..." Jia Sanlang's face heated up and he shouted: "Get up! Thief bitch, there are guests coming!" He smiled and lit the oil lamp.
After looking at them, I saw three big men dressed in the same way. Each one was stronger than the other. They were all crowded together in a row. Water was dripping from every part of their bodies.
Jia Sanlang roared again: "Go and light the fire! Get some food!"
The three people also looked around for a while, took off their coats, and were allowed to sit on the kang by Jia Sanlang.
After a while, people who were repairing the house outside also came in. Seeing that these five people were only in their early thirties and not as old as himself, Jia Sanlang smiled and greeted them, saying: "It's raining so hard, how come you guys still go into the mountain?"
A rough voice replied: "I need to do something for the shopkeeper. I lost my way." Seeing that several people seemed to be taciturn, Jia Sanlang became even more enthusiastic and couldn't stop saying hello in and out.
Fortunately, the mother-in-law was very capable. She brought out two large pots of meat and a wine jar, and then turned away. Jia Sanlang felt that he had a long face, which made him secretly feel a little proud and a little more attentive.
It was steaming hot and fragrant. Several people couldn't help but swallow their saliva, but they didn't move their chopsticks.
Jia Sanlang smiled and said: "We are poor in the mountains and have nothing to eat. Don't dislike me, little brothers."
The rough voice said "Hmm", and several people devoured their food. Jia Sanlang was generous and kind, and kept adding more wine, saying: "Hey...brothers, drink more, my mother-in-law brewed it herself. Brewed by myself..."
The two earthenware basins were swept away in an instant. The younger one opposite Jia Sanlang picked up the earthenware basins and drank every drop of the broth.
"Hey! How generous!" Jia Sanlang couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of his heart.
The man who drank the soup rolled his eyes, burped, and said: "The rabbit running around in the nest... um... and horse meat?" Seeing that he was an expert, Jia Sanlang stretched out his thumb and praised: "Little brother , it’s amazing, you can even eat it.”
The man turned a deaf ear and stretched out his little finger to pick the gap between his teeth. The man in the center of the kang said harshly: "Where can we get horse meat deep in the barren mountains?"
Jia Sanlang said with a smile: "Hey, to be honest with you little brothers, few people come to this mountain, and horse meat is indeed rare. Two travelers came here a few years ago. They got lost due to heavy snow and came to my house. I stayed here. He spent the night entertaining people with wine and meat, and the two friends felt sorry for themselves and insisted on keeping the animals they were riding on, asking me and me to kill them and eat the meat. Hey...it was slaughtered during the Chinese New Year, so some of them were afraid that it would be stale..."
The other sneered a few times and said: "What a great move! The tall horse that was riding on it turned around and gave people meat to eat. If it had been the year before last, I wouldn't have been able to earn it back in a year..."
The one in the center of the kang was extremely shrewd and asked urgently: "What are those two guests dressed up? But what are you looking for? Have you ever asked anything from you?" The other four also sat up straight and turned to look at each other. Jia Sanlang, just wait for his reply.
Jia Sanlang thought of the fairy sister in the cave, and felt sad for a while. He lowered his head and said vaguely: "It's been a long time, I forgot... I forgot..." Then he shouted to the house: "Sister, the guest has eaten wine and meat. , remove the dishes and boil some hot water."
The mother-in-law responded sweetly: "Hey, the water has been boiled." She lowered her head and walked in, just clearing away the dishes.
Jia Sanlang said: "There is nothing delicious in the deep mountains, not even some tea. Don't laugh at me..."
The young man opposite said: "The rabbit running around the nest is so delicious, so good!" Seeing his praise, Jia Sanlang smiled and replied: "Hehe... In the spring, all the wild animals in the mountains are in spring. , when you eat it, it will inevitably have a strange taste. If it is not blended in the mountains, it will not taste good..."
Kang asked nervously: "Is there any weird place around here?" Seeing the seriousness of his question, Jia Sanlang hurriedly replied: "No...no, no..."
Several people looked at each other, already noticing the strangeness.
The young man opposite stretched, yawned, and muttered: "The rabbits are in heat in spring, but the smell is so beautiful!" After that, he jumped off the edge of the kang and went out.
Seeing him go to relieve himself, Jia Sanlang said hurriedly: "You guys have been traveling in the rain, it's been hard! Let's get some rest early!" Then he lifted the kang table and asked them to go to bed early.
Suddenly I heard the mother-in-law scream, breathe out from the other two nostrils, make a "hum" sound, and smile crookedly. Jia Sanlang only said that she broke the bowl again and cut her finger. He cursed, "Be careful, you thief!" and hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
The one sitting in the middle of the kang said: "Wait a minute, I really have something important to ask!" Seeing that they were really serious, Jia Sanlang had no choice but to nod.
The man asked: "Is there a goddess cave near here?" Jia Sanlang said anxiously: "No, no!" Another person asked doubtfully: "Oh? Then where did you learn this superb internal strength?"
Hearing another scream from his mother-in-law, Jia Sanlang felt confused and said randomly: "I have learned a few tricks since I was a child, but they are not worth mentioning. They are not worth mentioning! Brothers, please squeeze in and go to bed early!" He had to turn around again.
The man said in a rough voice: "Friend, I would like to advise you: there is a price to pay for lying!" Several people chuckled.
Jia Sanlang turned a deaf ear and walked towards the kitchen.
Heavy rain was beating down on the whole world. The oil lamp at the door gave off a dull yellow light, and a black shadow was reflected on the wall, shaking.
Two deep voices overlapped and hummed back and forth. Jia Sanlang rubbed his eyes. He saw the big man lying on the stove with his head bowed and shaking, and his wife was being pressed underneath with half of her butt exposed.
"Beast!" Jia Sanlang shouted at the top of his lungs, grabbed the kitchen knife along the chopping board and threw it, followed by the horse spoon, chopping board, wooden barrel...
The man turned his head, grinned softly, and raised his hands to take away Jia Sanlang's weapon. The thief woman remained motionless.
A voice behind him said coldly: "Friend, let me ask again, do you know there is a goddess cave nearby?"
"Dong, your mother..." Jia Sanlang roared again, turned around and raised his fist to fight.
As soon as the man's figure shook, Jia Sanlang lost his center of gravity and was thrown to the ground.
Another one laughed and said: "My brother is nicknamed the 'Escape Beast'. He has two special skills in his life. The first one is that he is invulnerable with a golden gun. The second one is this iron cloth shirt that is not afraid of swords. If you don't tell me, To be honest, your wife will be tortured to death."
The leader said harshly: "That's enough! Tell me quickly, where is the Goddess Cave? Where did you learn this internal skill?"
Jia Sanlang roared again, stood up, and with a strong effort with both arms, he lifted a large wooden bucket full of water, threw it at the four people behind him, and then picked up the pole and swung it towards the stove.
This group of big men all possess special skills. Even though Jia Sanlang is as strong as an ox, he still can't hurt them.
The leader said to his companions: "Did you see it? This is the yin and yang double resting magic in the White Lotus Sect. It is passed down from Xiangxi. This kid has such magical power before he has even started. He really shouldn't be underestimated."
Jia Sanlang was hit by a kick in his vest and lay on the ground out of breath. Those living beasts said this calmly.
"Boss, what should I do if I can't find the place?"
——"Don't worry about that. We are just standing in front of you. We are not here specifically to find the Goddess Cave. It doesn't matter if we can't find it!"
The leader then said in a deep voice: "That's enough, Xiao Shunzi, let go of that woman!"
"Boss, let me play some more! I haven't seen my mother for three months."
The leader turned his head and left the kitchen without saying anything.
Jia Sanlang was knocked out of breath. His left arm had been kicked dislocated, and the ribs on his chest had also been kicked. He had no strength left in his body and could no longer get up.
The remaining three smiled at each other and each untied their belts...
Jia Sanlang closed his eyes and turned his head away with all his strength. He opened his mouth and couldn't shout a single word.
"Why? Why is this? I welcome you into the house with good intentions, and entertain you with good wine and meat... Why is this?"
The thunder died down, but the rain became heavier and heavier. Jia Sanlang, who was still half alive, was picked up again and dragged to the kang.
The leader said solemnly: "Where is the woman? Is she dead?"
One smiled and replied: "No - yes, I can't die, I can't die!"
Another said: "I dragged this kid here, why don't we ask again, and if we can find the Goddess Cave, we can show our faces. If he doesn't say anything, I will remove his limbs one by one."
The leader said in a deep voice: "You guys have gone too far!"
The one smiled and replied: "Too much? Boss, you are more ruthless than any of us."
Several people were silent for a while, and the leader sighed: "I finally found a place to take shelter from the rain, but you guys have made me so unlucky."
The young man said: "Boss, what's wrong with you today?" He was about to reach out to draw the knife.
Jia Sanlang suddenly became very awake and clearly heard the sound of drawing a knife. Then he felt a fever in his crotch and struggled desperately.
The leader stopped and said: "Xiao Shunzi, you are still young. If you kill evil people, you will create less!"
The young man was displeased when he heard this, he sheathed the knife again, and mocked with a snort: "Brother Guan, in our line of work, do you have the right to say that you commit fewer crimes and commit more crimes?"
Seeing him talking to the leader like this, the bystanders started to persuade: "Xiao Shunzi, how can you talk to the leader?" "Xiao Shunzi, we should listen to the leader!"
The young man snorted: "I know the rules in our sect, you should listen to the boss, but don't forget, I was taught by the three bosses. If it's true, you can't control me …”
Everyone was silent after hearing this.
A soft laugh came from outside the house: "Which one was trained by the third leader? Let me see!"
Each of the five people screamed in surprise and knelt down to greet him.
There was a masked man in black standing at the door. The thunderstorm was so loud that the man entered the house silently. The leader knew that he had neglected to take precautions, so he hurriedly kowtowed and apologized: "My subordinates neglected to protect me, please punish me."
The four heads turned a deaf ear. They first looked at Jia Sanlang who was soaking in urine, then turned towards the door and said, "Please come in and take shelter from the rain!"
Outside the door, a thin man wearing the same clothes walked in. Several people saw him and kowtowed to pay homage. The man directly placed the person on his back on the edge of the kang and stood upright by the wall, his gray hair reflected in the lamp.
The four heads pulled off their masks, revealing a ferocious face, and said: "Raise your heads!" The five people had never seen the true appearance of the four heads, and when they first saw this ugly face, they were all shocked.
The fourth leader asked softly: "Who did that woman in the kitchen? Also, who beat this person?"
The leader replied with a trembling voice: "Yes...yes...it's okay to be disciplined by my subordinates. I am willing to accept the punishment."
The fourth leader said softly: "After eating other people's food, I still sleep with other people's wives and beat other people's men..."
The person on the edge of the kang seemed to be injured. He coughed for a while and cursed in Sichuan dialect: "You son of a turtle, you have no conscience!"
The fourth leader clasped his hands in his fists, bowed and replied: "What Mr. Guo Xing said is right! It's really unscrupulous!" After saying this, he let out a long sigh, looked out the window and started to be in a daze.
The injured man on the edge of the kang cursed again: "You are such beasts, you will all die a happy death!" After saying this, he sneered, coughed for a while, and fell on Jia Sanlang.
Si Daotou was stunned for a while, then he took out a medicine bottle from his arms and threw it on the ground, saying: "This is a hemostasis powder. When we get to the Goddess Cave, anyone who touches that woman will be cut off and beaten by me." Damn it, leave me another arm. The leader of the team was not good at discipline, and one of his fingers was lost!" After saying this, he cupped his fists and asked the injured man on the edge of the kang, "I wonder if Mr. Guo is satisfied with this treatment?"
The injured man sneered and said, "If you think you are a hero, just scratch them one by one."
The four heads shook their heads and said: "Now is the time to employ people, we can't kill, we can't kill!" The man by the wall shouted: "Get out, wait outside!" The five people rolled and crawled into the heavy rain.
The four heads turned to the wall and said to the one: "Bring that woman over here and see if she can be saved?" The gray-haired man responded, turned around, put the unconscious Mrs. Jia Sanlang on the kang and began to check her pulse.
The fourth leader sighed and couldn't help but said: "Master Guo, you are a master of Xinglin. According to you, what disease is the most difficult to treat in the world?"
The injured one didn't say anything, and the fourth head said to himself: "In my opinion, the most difficult to treat in the world is heart disease."
The gray-haired man checked his pulse and squinted his eyes as he continued: "Yes! Joy, anger, worry, thought, sadness, fear, surprise, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, all mortals have a heart. As long as you have this heart, you will get sick."
The wounded man sneered and said: "That's good! I thought that I would study medicine all my life, but I would be helpless when encountering evil-minded people like you. Even if the Taoist ancestor is reincarnated and comes to the mortal world, I'm afraid I won't be able to cure him."
The fourth leader said: "Master Guo, since I have bloodbathed Xianyun Village and killed your brother Jinlan, I know that you will have a deep hatred with me. Do you know why I still try so hard to please you and put you down?" Bring it to this deep mountain?"
The injured steel teeth clenched tightly, and finally cried out, shouting: "Big brother...seventh brother, Yu'er!" Then he yelled: "Thief, my brother is gone, and he will no longer live. You, you kill him." Me!"
The fourth leader sighed: "Killing couldn't be easier! As long as you have enough reasons, you can rely on means and kill as much as you want. Those who farm will kill because someone does not give them a way to live, and those who sit in the mountains will kill because someone wants to rob them. They want to kill people, some people want to kill people because they are ordered to do it, some people want to do great things because they have made great achievements and are famous in history, and some people want to kill people because they want to have a bloody feud. Just like those few idiots just now, they want to be lawless because they rely on the powerful. Killing this innocent man shows that it is not difficult to kill, but why do you want to kill someone? Mr. Guo, do you think this is true?" The injured person did not answer.
The fourth leader said again: "Not to mention why I came to your Xianyun Village to kill people. Now there is a murder business for me to do, but I really can't find a reason for it at the next moment. It's really embarrassing. .”
He paused and then said: "There will be such a heavy rain after the earthquake. Houses will be destroyed and people will die. The fields will be starved to death, mulberry farms will be ruined, and countless people will be displaced. If there is a plague, these people will definitely become more and more homeless." In order to survive, these people will abandon their homes and ancestors and go to places where there is food and drink. First, they will wait for the government to give them money, then they will beg along the road, and finally they will steal, rob, or kill others. This business of mine Yeah, I just want to kill these people, Mr. Guo, what reason will I have to find then?"
The injured man sat up in shock when he heard this. His mouth was so big that he could not speak for a long time.
The fourth leader said: "I have heard for a long time that your medical skills are unparalleled in the world. We, the head of the family, have taught me to find you a secluded place and ask you to study medicine. In order to prepare for the epidemic, when the time comes, hang a pot to help the world and save all living beings. So look at it Come, our master wants you to save all sentient beings so that they can become my enemies and avenge you!"
The injured man was speechless for a long time, and finally couldn't help it anymore, burst into tears, and said intermittently: "I didn't expect that all my life, I have saved lives and healed the wounded, accumulated virtues and done good deeds, but in the end... in the end, I have to... be with the enemy... Oh my God!"
Judge Chou cried for a long time, and the two people said nothing, just waiting for him to cry. The judge sighed sadly: "That's all, that's all! I'll go with you." The fourth leader was rarely happy and said happily: "That's it, thank you Mr. Guo."
Judge Zhu Guozhen took the place of the gray-haired masked man and began to feel the pulse of poor Jia Sanlang and his wife.
Si Tou looked at the heavy rain outside the window with deep thoughts. Hearing that Jia Sanlang's wife came to life, he turned around and took out a bottle from his arms, poured out two pills, pinched their mouths and gave them to take.
Jia Sanlang also came back to life, his mouth full of blood, his eyes glowing with blood, staring at several people.
As if he couldn't bear to look at it, the four heads turned around and said to themselves: "After the earthquake, there will be famine, followed by plague. I will show you a way to survive: There is Xianyun Village in Xiangyang City, which is the best in the world. The richest man's manor has been defeated now. If you are alive, go there and rob it after you recover from your injuries. There will be everything you need, including money, silk, food, and rice. You can take whatever you want..."
Judge Chou was stabbed in the center and cried out in pain: "You..." and then fell down while stroking his heart.
"The surname of the country -" the four heads said loudly and in a long tone: "Xianyun Village is gone. Should the property saved by Mr. Shen during his lifetime be allowed to be divided up by the local officials without leaving some for him?"
The fourth leader didn't say much. Judge Chou was speechless after hearing this and just started to cry silently.
I saw Four Heads unhooking a dagger from his waist, placing it on Jia Sanlang, and said softly: "Xianyun Village must be guarded by officials. Remember, if you want to survive, you have to kill." After that, he turned and walked out. Go to the house.
