Chapter 24: Descending the Mountain


I saw clearly that it was the man in black standing in front of me, and I got up angrily, clenched my fists, and stood in front of Yang Qing.With the skill he's shown before, I know it's going to be difficult for me to handle at the moment.But I have an idea in my heart: I just fought for my life, and I can't let him hurt Yang Qing at all.The man in black stood still, staring at me with a blank face, like a wax man.I looked into his eyes, and felt that those eyes were like the surface of a deep lake, without a ripple or emotion.I've met a lot of people, from all walks of life, with all kinds of personalities, but no one has ever given me this feeling.There is no chill and no warmth; I don't feel estranged, but I can't get close.I didn't feel the slightest kindness from him, but I didn't feel any malice either.Thinking of his previous behavior, my brain suddenly seemed to be electricized, and I thought of a legend that I had heard as a child.The story goes like this: One day, Jigong was walking on the Lingyin Road in Hangzhou, and was suddenly attracted by an inconspicuous black shadow on the horizon.He pinched his fingers and was surprised to see that it was a mountain peak flying towards this side.He continued to deduce, eventually determining that the peak would fly to a village not far from where he was in two hours.If the people of the village do not evacuate within these two hours, they will all be crushed to death under the mountain.Jigong had the virtue of a good life and didn't want to see the tragedy happen, so he ran to the village and told the people there the news.What he didn't expect was that the people in the village thought what he said was too ridiculous, and not only didn't believe him, but also sneered at him and called him a crazy monk.Jigong was unwilling, and pointed to the black dot that was getting bigger and bigger in the sky and said that it was the mountain.However, no one believed him, thinking that it was just a dark cloud floating in the sky.Seeing that time is getting less and less, and the mountain peaks are getting closer and closer, Jigong can't persuade anyone, he is anxious but there is nothing he can do.At this time, a family in the village was holding a happy event.Jigong had an idea, pretended to be congratulated and entered the house, and said that he would give them a couplet.Many people thought that Jigong was wearing dirty and torn, and wanted to kick him out, but they were afraid of Chongxi, so they simply asked Jigong to send the couplet quickly and leave.Jigong pretended to leave and think, and then took advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention, rushed into the house, picked up the bride and ran out, and left the village as soon as he slipped away.The village exploded instantly, shouting and scolding "the crazy monk robbed people", and the people who were robbed immediately mobilized everyone in the village, and they picked up hoes and sickles to chase Jigong, and soon chased them out of the village a few miles away.Suddenly, the wind blew and the sky darkened instantly.Then, with a loud bang, a mountain peak fell from the sky, crushing the village below.Because the whole village came out to chase Jigong, miraculously there were no casualties.At this time, Jigong put down the bride, laughed, rose from the clouds, looked at the flying peak, and saw the cold spring, and left a couplet in the loud voice: when does the spring start, where does the peak come from.Legends are just legends, but the scenes in it are very similar to what I encountered before.Could it be that this man in black wanted to help us, so he snatched Yang Qing and led us out of the dungeon through this thief hole, who is it, why is he not wearing a gas mask underneath but is fine, why can he find this thief hole accurately I was startled by the idea that suddenly appeared to me, and asked urgently: "You, are you sent from above to monitor us" The man in black looked at me expressionlessly, and still didn't give me any answer.I was about to ask again, but he suddenly turned away and left.I wanted to catch up, but at this moment, Shen Dali's shout came from the thief cave: "Fifth brother, I heard that I didn't help pull Zhao Ye up first." ”"Yes."

At this time, I couldn't care about the identity of the man in black, so I hurriedly pulled up the rope and almost exhausted my strength to pull Zhao Ye up.After Zhao Ye came up, the first thing he did was to take off the gas mask, then sit on the ground, take a deep breath, and spit out.I saw that half of Zhao Ye's pants were wet, pointed to his pants and frowned and asked: "Zhao Ye, what's the matter" Zhao Ye shook his head and sighed and said: "I'm older, and my legs and feet are not good, I wanted to chase you, but I didn't pay attention to stepping on the lake." ”At this time, Shen Dali's shout came from below again: "Fifth brother, throw the rope down, I'll tie up all the guys we eat." ”I took out the flattened cigarette from my pocket and threw it to Zhao Lao, and said to Zhao Lao: "Zhao Lao, you take a rest first, Shen Dali will come up in a while, and we will go down the mountain to find the hospital." ”Zhao Lao nodded at me, took out a twisted and deformed cigarette, lit it tremblingly, and took a hard puff.I got up and grabbed one end of the rope and threw it into the thief's hole.After a while, Shen Dali shouted below: "Fifth brother, everything is tied, you can pull it up." ”Although we don't have many backpacks, the weight of a few of them together is still a bit heavy, and it is a bit difficult for me to pull up at the moment.Zhao Lao seemed to be a little unbearable on the side, stepped on the cigarette, stood up and helped me pull the rope together.After the backpack was pulled up, I threw the rope into the hole again.After a while, Shen Dali poked his head out of it, and when he saw me and Zhao Laohou, he grinned, grabbed the rope with both hands, stepped on the cave wall with both feet, and jumped out of it with a strong waist.I asked Shen Dali breathlessly: "Dali, why did you go down without a gas mask, do you feel uncomfortable" Shen Dali hurriedly said: "Fifth brother, don't worry, there's no."

I am in this state now, and I guarantee that I can carry Yang Xiaomei to the hospital. ”Zhao Lao said beside him: "By the way, on the way here, I noticed that under Longshou Mountain, there is the city hospital, let's go there directly." ”Shen Dali and I said "yes" in unison, and then the three of us had a clear division of labor, took Yang Qing and all the backpacks, stepped on the weeds, wiped the bushes, and walked down the mountain.When we reached the lower part of the mountainside, we encountered a brick wall and an iron fence, but fortunately, Zhao Lao found a gap that allowed us to barely get through.Shen Dali walked through the gap, pouted and said: "Look at me so reluctantly, if it is Liu Fatzi, it will definitely be better to live than to die here" His casual words once again made the atmosphere depressed, and even he himself became quieter and quieter, and finally turned into silence.We went down the hill and stood on the side of the road.At this time, the road cleaner had just gotten off work, and in addition to the elderly who were exercising in the morning, they were the students who rushed to school with their school bags.Everyone was sneaking their eyes at us, but no one dared to collide with us, as if they were frightened by our image.At this place, at this time, we didn't stop a taxi.Shen Dali stopped a little girl behind Yang Qing's back and asked her if there was a hospital nearby, almost scaring other children's children into tears.In the end, it was Zhao Lao who came forward and learned from an old man who was exercising in the morning that the city hospital was less than a kilometer away from where we were currently located.Mobile Visit: AA2705221:
