This is a very old house with a high roof. It is a single room with some simple furniture placed inside. There is no one else in the house except me. There is water, a bowl of rice and a few side dishes on the table. The food and water are served in iron bowls, which look like they were made in the 1970s and 1980s...
I was so thirsty that I couldn't care less. I raised the bowl and drank it in big gulps. After I finished drinking, I realized that I was very hungry. Yes, I haven't eaten well during this period, and I didn't care. He raised his rice bowl and ate hungrily.
The water in the rice bag was enough for me to burp a few times, and I breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's better to be alive~" I couldn't help but mutter to myself, and suddenly I remembered something... Where am I? ? Am I obviously not in a small town on the outskirts of the city? Where is this? How did I get here? This series of question marks makes me, Zhanger Jingang, confused.
I thought about it carefully, "By the way, didn't I go to rescue Gao Yanfen, and then those bad guys pointed a gun at me, and then...then I fainted...did I drink too much? I don't know why I suddenly fainted. In the past... and... it seemed that when I was dreaming, there was someone... an old man with white hair who helped me drink water and talked to me, and seemed to say something about thirteen years... I found something. ..
At that time, I vaguely remembered that the environment was here..." Thinking of this, I felt that since the old man saved me, he must not be a bad person. While thinking about it, I wanted to pack up the bowls I had finished and wash them. After stacking the bowls, I turned around and prepared to go out. At this time, my eyes widened, "Hey~ What the hell! "
What I thought was a door was actually a sealed glass window with a lot of steel bars hanging on the outside. Does this house have no door? ! I looked around, and there was indeed no door, so how did I get in? I was at a loss when I suddenly smelled a faint fragrance. I felt so tired, so I fell asleep again.
I was half asleep when I saw the old man walking towards me again with white hair flying in the air. He seemed to be holding a silver needle in his hand. I felt his hands, chest, lower abdomen and calves being pressed from top to bottom in a short period of time. The sequence caused a slight pain, but the pain quickly disappeared and was replaced by a warm feeling that was indescribably comfortable. I fell asleep again... When I woke up the next time, I saw that the water on the table was full again. Yes, there are a few more bowls of food, and the dishes seem to be different from last time.
Last time I was in a hurry and didn't pay attention to the specific dishes. I only knew that the combination of meat and vegetables was great. It was not greasy but the meat was also very delicious. Now I took a good look at these bowls of dishes and found that except for the old iron bowl, the dishes inside were colorful. Scentware.
The blue and white ones that have been fished with water and oiled are just right. Another bowl seems to be Panax notoginseng stewed squab, and the color is quite good. There is also a bowl of braised pig trotters. The smell is so fragrant that it makes me drool. I don’t know if I fell asleep just now. After a while, I was really a little hungry now. I set up my chopsticks and started to eat slowly. This time I ate slowly, and I found that each dish had its own characteristics, and an indescribable deliciousness echoed in the air.
I thought to myself, "This uncle seems to be very kind to me, but he seems to be very busy. I haven't thanked him in person until now. I don't know if he is around." I shouted loudly into the room: "Uncle , thank you, the food you cook is so delicious!”
But no matter where in the house there was no movement at all, I had no choice but to continue working hard... I don't know why, but I found that I was in a good mood now, as if I had taken everything away. For me a few days ago, I felt like I was in a different world. It seems that the one who is abandoned is not me but Mr. Zhang next door...
I was in a trance like this for about three days. Because I didn't bring a watch and there was no clock in the house, I judged it based on the light coming in from the window sealed by steel bars. I saw three times that it was pitch black outside. After adding The number of times I have eaten has been a total of six meals so far, so I think it must have been three days. Although I say this, I actually have no idea how long it has been. In fact, I was asleep most of the time. ..
When I woke up this time, I didn’t want to go back to sleep. I asked the white-haired old man why he kept me here. He made me so many delicious foods every day and the portions were just right. When I was full, there was almost no food left. , what is going on? Could it be that because I taste so good, you want to make me fat and steam it? Or fried? ...
I quickly shook my head and stood up, saying that I was not asleep yet and quickly reconnoitred... I looked at the room carefully and found that the height of the roof was too high, nearly two stories high, and the one covered with steel bars The sealed windows are greatly out of proportion, and apart from a table and a few benches, there is only a bedside table and a lamp next to the bed. It is surrounded by red brick walls. It is a veritable wall, and it is really a door. without.
The bricks have all been polished and are very smooth. I haven't gone to the window to look outside after being here for so long. I basically fall asleep except when eating. Maybe I am really too tired these days, and my heart is tired. Tired... I walked to the window and looked around excitedly, wanting to see if I could identify where this was by looking at some building or something, but when I saw it, I was speechless... The outside of the window was still very red. brick wall...
I searched everywhere but couldn't find an exit. After a while, I smelled the faint fragrance again, and started to feel sleepy again. However, I had long discovered that I wanted to sleep as soon as I smelled this fragrance. At first, I was just too lazy. No matter, it’s not a big deal just to sleep anyway, but after three days I didn’t know what the old man wanted to do, and I wanted to find out, so I quickly held my breath, slowly walked to the bed, pretended to sleep, and then stopped moving. .
Sure enough, after a while there was movement on the roof. I opened my eyes slightly and looked up secretly. A square panel like a mechanism on the roof was pulled open, and an old man with white hair held his hand. I didn't know what I was carrying, and I was putting my head in to look around. I thought to myself, "Humph, uncle, please put the ladder down later and I will rush up immediately. When I get out of here, I will ask you what exactly you want to do!"
I was quite confident in my skills, but the next second I was dumbfounded... The old man didn't put up the ladder, but jumped directly from the top, and didn't make any sound when he landed! He seemed to be holding a basket in his hand, and the basket was firmly held in his hand... "I'll strangle it! I'm afraid my eyesight is dazzled!" How could it be that the roof was so high that it was two stories high? How did he, an old man, do that? Arrived? And how is he going to get out? Can he fly up?
I saw the old man frowning at the table, then he took out a bag from the basket, spread it on the table, lit a candle, pulled out a few silver needles and slowly walked towards me, I suddenly jumped up , asked loudly: "Who are you? What do you want to do by locking me here?"
I thought he would be shocked, but he said with a smile: "You kid is really not asleep. I can tell by listening to your breathing." I wondered: "I can tell by listening to your breathing. What is the principle of this?" "You will know later. Yes, come and eat and I will help you adjust your breathing."
He put the candle next to the table lamp and turned around to point in the direction of the table, "I won't eat! I won't eat until you tell me clearly! How do I know if you want to harm me and lock me in such a room without a door? !”
The old man asked with a smile: "Is it hurting you? Do you feel that your mood is getting better and better these days? Your energy is getting better and better?" I thought about it carefully, "I didn't expect that acupuncture and Chinese medicine can also regulate... Super mood? These days, I have indeed looked past everything in the past!"
He said "hmm" and continued: "Besides, haven't you been eating with gusto these past few days? How did I hurt you?" I was speechless for a moment, and my face turned red. Indeed, eating other people's food and living in other people's homes now reflects It was really unkind of me to come here to doubt others... So I softened my tone and asked, "Um... uncle, why do you want to put me in this place..." The old man stretched out his hand and made a gesture of rejection: " Don't scream, I'm not your uncle. If I hadn't locked you up here, you would probably still be making fun of yourself in an alley somewhere, right? This is all because I'm afraid you'll mess around!"
"Then why don't you come out to see me? You always come when I'm asleep?" I continued to ask.
"You still have the nerve to say that you drank and slept outside for so many days, and you almost destroyed your meridians. It's not that I didn't come to see you, I just wanted you to have a good rest. What you smell every day is me using it for you. The "soothing incense" mixed with traditional Chinese medicine is mainly to calm your mind and soul, and then I will help you use acupuncture to restore your damaged meridians. If it is disabled by you, then you are really a waste!" He said that waste For a moment, I seemed to see a fierce look in his eyes. I looked again, but I only saw that he still had a smile on his face...
"I've been with you for two weeks, but it's a pity..." He hesitated, "What's a pity?" I asked, and he shook his head, "It's nothing, you will know later." I quickly asked: "You Two weeks with me? Why? And why did you wait until that night to get me here? Isn't two weeks a long time? You could have locked me up anytime!"
The old man said with a smile, "I wasn't sure at first. Otherwise, I would have knocked you unconscious and locked you up." "Not sure? What are you not sure about?" I asked again, "You will know later." The old man looked mysterious. I despised the expression in my heart.
"What happened after that night? Did you save me?" The old man seemed to be impatient by my question and replied: "I don't know, I just saw you fainted and then I carried you on my back." So, was the white figure I saw that night yours?" The old man was really annoyed by my question and said angrily: "I don't know! You have so many questions, boy! Are you a talkative person?"
"If you don't say it, don't you need to be so loud?" I said with contempt in my heart, "Then... what... when can I go out?" I continued to ask, and the old man looked at me, and his expression changed again. He replied with a smile: "Whether you can go out depends on your ability." I was so surprised: "What do you mean? It depends on my ability?"
The old man laughed loudly: "I'll demonstrate it to you once, and I'll tell you the rest tomorrow." After saying that, he walked toward the wall, jumped up, and stepped on the wall twice as if walking, using his strength. He turned around and reached the outside of the roof, "Hey, boy, are you filming a martial arts movie? They really "flyed" up..." I muttered in my heart, and then I remembered something and shouted quickly: "I don't want to call you uncle. What did I call you?" came the voice from the roof, "Call me uncle! Remember to eat! Otherwise, your meridians will recover too slowly!" Then I heard some sparse sounds outside the wall. After a while, there was no movement again. They must have gone far away. .
