Chapter of the Dragon King of the South China Sea - A powerful dragon has regrets.
I would rather be a peaceful dog than a man in troubled times.
When a dynasty approaches the end, it is like a dying person, with all kinds of shortcomings, big and small, showing up one by one.
In a time of peace and prosperity, there must be capable ministers in the court.
The world is in chaos, and evildoers are destined to appear in the world.
Wu Fusheng was as panicked as a lost dog.
He was just a small businessman, following his father from Lingbei to Lingnan by reselling some tea leaves and cloth, earning a little money and barely maintaining a well-off family.
It's a pity that the world is really bad.
He was also very unlucky.
The first time I traveled far away with my father, when passing by Heifu Mountain Pass, their caravan was surrounded by ruthless bandits who came from nowhere.
This gang of gangsters is a typical mobile crime gang. The leader of the caravan, the local snake President Lin, and the bodyguard of the caravan - a master among the masters who claim to know countless masters in Lingnan - Huang Tiebang, are very different. His head was quickly stamped off by these tough bandits!
Seeing that the situation was not good, everyone in the caravan dispersed like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions.
Wu Fusheng was sixteen years old and followed his father towards the east.
It's a pity that my father is old and doesn't pay attention to physical exercise. He doesn't like to practice long-distance running or sprinting. Dun was slashing wildly with his blade and was hacked to death on the spot.
Fortunately, Wu Fusheng was young, at the peak of human physical fitness. He looked back and saw his biological father dying tragically. Stimulated by the fear of death, he ran as fast as flying, as if he had four legs, and was as fast as a wild dog. As fast as a cheetah, it scurried forward crazily before being caught up.
Unfortunately, in his panic to escape, Wu Fusheng did not know the road or direction. When he finally ran out of energy and stopped to take a breath, he realized that he had jumped into the depths of the jungle!
The trees in the forest were so luxuriant that no sunlight could be seen, and the strange sounds of various birds and howls of animals made his liver tremble and his body tremble.
No wonder those gangsters stopped chasing them. Anyone who tried to run into a place like this would basically be dead. It was very difficult for anyone to get out alive from such a dense primeval forest that covered the sky and made no sense of direction!
Humans are social animals that live in groups.
If people are in society every day, they will feel more and more vulgar and unbearable. They always want to be alone, and always want to find a place with few people to stay, hide and be quiet.
But when people are really alone in the mountains and forests, they often die quickly and die on the spot.
People and things in the world are often so elusive.
Wu Fusheng found a stick as thick as his arm as a crutch. He used the stick to move the grass along the roadside and looked around, trying to identify the direction and find a safe way out of the forest.
But trying to find the road and direction in a primitive dense forest where the sun never shines is undoubtedly a fantasy!
When people are in desperate situations, they will suddenly make two completely different choices.
One is to give up directly, lie down on the spot, and wait to die.
One is to persevere and never give up until your last breath.
After Wu Fusheng realized that he was in a desperate situation, he panicked for a while and then forcibly calmed down.
After attending a private school for a few years since he was a child, he no longer had the intention to study. Since he couldn't study well, he simply stopped studying and just hung out in the streets every day. He had never been afraid of anyone. Now, at the critical moment of life and death, he He took out that reckless energy, randomly found a direction, made some marks on the trees with the short dagger he carried with him as he walked, and moved forward with all his might.
After walking forward for about a day, Wu Fusheng ate all the dry food he had left. Under the pressure of hunger, he finally found some sour and astringent wild fruits on a wild fruit tree and ate them randomly. Fortunately, The wild fruit is not poisonous and nothing happened.
At night, Wu Fusheng found a towering tree and climbed onto a very thick trunk to sleep.
He spent the whole night in the tree trunk listening to the howling of wolves, howling bears, and howling of strange birds and monsters coming from all around him. Where could he dare to sleep? Just like this, I finally stayed up until dawn.
Fortunately, he was lucky this time and had a safe night.
Only when he saw the sun rising as high as a person through the gaps in the leaves did Wu Fusheng dare to move around in the forest.
He first looked for some dew and drank it, then dug out a few bird's nests at random. After swallowing a dozen eggs of unknown birds alive, he picked up a wooden stick and continued to move forward.
This day was full of adventures, and I don’t know if it was because we had gone deep into the jungle. From time to time, we encountered wild animals such as foxes, poisonous snakes, lone wolves, and wild boars.
Fortunately, the carnivorous beasts he encountered were all alone, and they were frightened away by him with a few blows from his stick.
The next day, Wu Fusheng walked until it was dark, and finally found some sweet unknown wild fruits beside a hill.
He ate all these wild fruits and was barely half full.
They found a very dry small cave in the mountain. The entrance of the cave was built with stones before it got completely dark. Wu Fusheng finally fell into a peaceful sleep despite being tired and thirsty.
After the sun rose on the third day, Wu Fusheng, who was thirsty and hungry, crawled out of the small cave and stood at the highest point of the hill to look around.
Looking up, I saw vast and lush greenery in all directions, extending into the mist beyond my sight. They were all extremely lush towering trees and all kinds of green plants!
Wu Fusheng couldn't hold on any longer, so he sat on the smooth stone and cried loudly.
He knew that he might never be able to return to his hometown and never see his mother who was still waiting for her at home!
The son of my good family was buried in the wilderness!
After the birds and beasts share their food, their souls return home.
Maybe it will take many years to understand in your heart that the person you have been waiting for will never come back.
After crying for a long time, Wu Fusheng finally stopped this extremely irrational behavior because of excessive hunger and thirst.
As long as people live, they will have endless troubles.
Sometimes I can’t help but think, Buddhism says that being reborn as a human is the result of doing countless good deeds in previous lives, but why is it so difficult to live as a human in this world?
Maybe after death, people will have more troubles and be more difficult, right?
So being born as a human being and enduring hardship is actually very happy?
Who knows?
God knows?
Wu Fusheng looked at the forest in all directions for a long time, then immersed himself in the woods.
After walking for almost ten miles, Wu Fusheng found a small river about three feet wide appearing in front of him.
Wu Fusheng ran to the river in great joy and drank until he was full. Then he looked up to the sky with satisfaction and let out a sigh of relief.
As soon as the feeling of thirst went away, the feeling of hunger came back again.
Wu Fusheng stood up and was just about to look for something to eat. When he looked up, he suddenly saw what seemed to be a humanoid thing on the other side of the river. It flew out of the grass and jumped towards him!
The speed of that thing was too fast. Before he could see clearly what it was, he saw the black shadow jumping up into the air very quickly, leaping over the three-foot-wide river as easily as flying, and shot from above his head. He turned over and jumped into the dense forest behind him, disappearing in an instant.
Wu Fusheng was stunned for a moment, then reacted suddenly!
The black shadow that just jumped over his head seemed to be a person?
In a trance, Wu Fusheng vaguely saw that the black figure seemed to be a vicissitudes of life old man with white beard and white hair. His clothes were in tatters, his figure was thin, and his face was expressionless!
In the depths of this vast jungle, in this uninhabited primitive land, is there anyone alive besides him?
At this moment, Wu Fusheng didn't care whether he was dazzled or not. He forced himself to cheer up, raised his legs and ran in the direction where the black shadow disappeared.
It seems that there are often people walking in this forest. There is a faint path between the thorns and weeds!
Wu Fusheng threw off his long legs and ran all the way until he was exhausted and could no longer run, and then he had to stop.
With this breath, he couldn't figure out how far he had run. Anyway, he felt that he had never run for so long or worked so hard in his life!
At this time, the trees in the forest changed again. The branches no longer blocked the sky and the sun. The terrain and geology also changed. From time to time, pieces of stone were exposed from the ground. As you walked forward, your feet began to become smoother. Slope up.
Wu Fusheng was sweating and panting for a long time. He lifted his extremely sore legs, endured his extremely hungry belly, and climbed up the hillside step by step.
