Everyone was silent after hearing this, and it was obvious that no one expected that Li Wancai would be so cruel and arrogant. I was particularly chilled when I heard this in the sack. I really couldn't imagine that Li Wancai, who was usually amiable to me and whom I called Uncle Li for more than ten years, would treat me like this.
"After a while, Zhao Quanhai said, 'Boss Li, you helped me a lot this time, and I am very grateful to you. You don't have to worry about the rest, leave it to me. Brother Zhang and Brother Li, after dinner, you two will carry this sack to the Beiliang River, put a few big stones in it, and throw it into the river.'
"I only heard two people agree, and not long after, everyone finished their meal and dispersed. I suddenly felt that the sack was lifted up and down by someone, and it was not far away, and was put on the cart. The cart squeaked forward, as if it was pushed out of a large courtyard, and soon it walked on a remote path. Suddenly, I heard someone say, "We have to hurry up, lest someone see us when it gets light, which will be troublesome."
Another person said, "Brother Zhang is right." After a while, the person said again, "Brother Zhang! You said that Li Wancai is so cruel. It will be a bit scary to get along with him in the future. Moreover, with this person's ability, since he has got this opportunity, he will definitely be reused in the future. Our brothers are in a bad situation. How can Boss Zhao not see through this matter? Isn't he old and confused? '
"The first person said, "Why do you care about so many things? If someone hears you say bad things about Boss Zhao behind his back, do you still want to live?'
"The man didn't dare to say anything more. The two pushed the cart forward. I kept struggling in the cart, but it was useless. I was only beaten and kicked. Finally, I was exhausted and stopped moving. After about three incense sticks, I heard the sound of water rushing in the river. It was bright and light came in through the gaps in the sack.
"They parked the car by the river, untied the sack, picked up a few large stones and put them in. I knew I was going to die, so I stopped struggling and thought about my life. I was worried about the girl and didn't know what would happen to her in the future. Suddenly I felt a warm stream of water pouring on me. I looked at the mouth of the sack and found that they were playing a prank and urinated all the hot urine they had stored all night on me.
"Yi Fan, you don't have to be angry. You think I must be furious. In fact, I was not angry at all. I knew I was going to die, and my heart had become extremely numb. The money, reputation, dignity, and status that I used to value were insignificant. Yes, I felt nothing at that time.
"They sealed the mouth of the sack, one of them lifted it up, shook it back and forth a few times, and accumulated enough momentum. When they loosened their hands, I fell into the water. I can swim, and I couldn't help holding my breath, but how long can I hold it? After a while, I took a lot of water into my lungs, and I felt that I was about to die. The stone added weight and sank very quickly. The river was not deep, so it sank to the bottom soon. The sack rolled several times and sank into the mud of the riverbed."
Yi Fan was fascinated by what he heard, and slowly said: "You died just like that," and suddenly reacted, "Of course you are not dead, otherwise how can you tell me these things here." Robinson said: "Logically, I am dead, but I am not dead after all. Guess why."
Yi Fan thought for a while and said "Did they suddenly feel guilty and rescue you?" Robinson said, "No, they wouldn't do such a thing if they had a conscience." Yi Fan said, "Could it be that someone was hiding on the shore, and jumped into the river to rescue them after they left?" Robinson said, "They must have gone to a deserted place to do such a heinous thing, so how could anyone see them? That's not right." Yi Fan said, "Did you cut the sack at the bottom of the river and swam up by yourself?" Robinson said, "They wanted to kill me, so why would they leave a knife for me? Even if they had a knife, my hands and feet were tied and I was in a sack, how could I cut it? It's even more wrong." Yi Fan guessed more than a dozen times, and said everything he could think of, whether it was absurd or stupid, but Robinson just said it was wrong. He racked his brains but couldn't come up with an answer, so he said, "According to what you said, all possibilities are gone. It means that death is certain. How can I survive? I really can't figure it out."
Robinson said, "This is strange to me, too. Not to mention you, I can't figure out what's going on. At that time, I sank to the bottom of the water, drank more and more water, and my mind gradually became blurred. Suddenly, I felt something moving in the mud and sand under me, as if some creature was about to drill out from under it. The movement became louder and louder, and it kept pushing up, and I was pushed to the riverbed next to me. Then I felt that the sack was cut by something, and something grabbed my wrist and floated up.
"The river water was stirred like this, and the mud and sand were everywhere. I drank a few mouthfuls of dirty water while in the bag. When I was rescued by that thing, I felt that the water was full of mud and sand, with a lot of impurities, so dirty that I couldn't open my eyes. After rising a little and entering the clear water, I opened my eyes and looked at the thing holding me. It turned out to be a person. Because he had just emerged from the riverbed, his head and face were covered with mud and sand. His two eye sockets were covered with a thick layer of mud and sand, becoming a flat place. It looked extremely weird. Of course, he couldn't see anything. This person was bald, holding my hand, and swimming to the surface of the river. "
Yi Fan was shocked to hear him speak more and more strangely, and he jumped up from his chair. At first, when he heard Robinson's narration, Yi Fan had a deep fear of the hearts of people in this world, and he was a little afraid of going out into the world, but it was not too serious. At this moment, listening to his strange story, Yi Fan couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end, and was shocked. This matter was simply unbelievable to the extreme. He never swears, but at this moment, he couldn't help but say in his heart: "Fuck, what kind of world is this?"
Robinson said: "You find it hard to believe, how can it be as strong as what I saw with my own eyes at that time. After he pushed me ashore, he jumped into the river again, washed off his own mud, and then came up. He was dressed like a monk, wearing a gray monk's robe, with nine incense scars on his head. He was about thirty years old, with a slightly dark complexion, a tall and thin figure, and looked very strong. "
"When I saw him come ashore, I immediately bowed to him. I bowed three times, and he accepted it with a smile. After that, I had a strong doubt in my heart. Although I knew it was wrong, I still asked: 'The divine monk is so powerful, but how can ordinary people survive in the mud at the bottom of the river? Could it be that the living Buddha is in the world, saving the miserable people in the world with great compassion and supernatural powers? '
The man smiled and said: 'This is nothing, it is the Shaolin School's breath-holding method. My name is Gu Prajna. ' After he said that, he was stunned, with a look of worry on his face. I didn't ask any more questions, and suddenly I heard him mumbling to himself.
"I just heard him say: 'Master said that according to the ancient books in the Shaolin Sutra Library, this "Ice God's Tears" must be in the waters of Beiliang. Why have I been looking for it in this river for so long, but there is no clue at all. Could it be washed into the East China Sea by the river? If so, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack and it would definitely not be found. But if this thing is not found, the catastrophe of heaven and earth nine hundred years ago will reappear in the world. At that time, the world will be in chaos and demons will be born. What should we do...'
"I knew he was a strange man, so I didn't dare to ask more. The man asked about my situation, and I told him one by one. There is no need to say more about what happened afterwards. The man helped me rescue the girl and beat up Zhao Quanhai and his men, so they never dared to cause trouble to me again. But Li Wancai was not in Beiliang, so he escaped.
"After Mr. Gu left, the little girl and I returned to the village. Li Wancai knew that since he had killed my parents, this blood feud could only end when one side died, and there was no room for maneuver, so he took the initiative and tried to kill us several times, but we were lucky enough to escape. Finally, we were forced to live in the village. We had no relatives, so we fled to the mountains and lived a life of hunting.
"In the third year in the mountains, I found this cave and lived there. After several years of excavation and modification, it became what it is now. In the more than ten years in the mountains, I went out several times to avenge my parents, but Li Wancai became more and more powerful, and it was difficult for ordinary people to see him once, let alone revenge. In the following years, I had Tangtang Yuanyuan. When I thought about how she and her two children would survive in the mountains if something happened to me, I didn't dare to talk about revenge. "
Yi Fan now understood why he and his wife lived in the deep mountains and forests. After this conversation, the three of them had a deeper understanding of each other and the atmosphere became more harmonious. Robinson and his wife persuaded Yi Fan to live in the mountains several times afterwards, and he always said: "Brother and sister-in-law, you don't have to say anything more. I came to this world by chance. How can I not go out and see the world? "
Seeing Yi Fan's firm attitude, the two of them stopped talking about it. About half a year passed. During this half year, Lu Yi and the other went hunting in the mountains every day, and made bacon out of the game they got, one for their own daily consumption, and the other for preparing dry food for Yi Fan to go out of the mountains. Yi Fan learned how to make this bacon from his mother when he was a child, and he started making it himself soon after he came here. Robinson and his wife praised the deliciousness after tasting it, so Yi Fan taught the two of them how to make it.
It was early spring, and the weather was very good recently. Although there was still snow in the shade of the mountains, there was a little green in the sunny places. On this day, before dawn, Lu Yi and the other packed their luggage, had dinner, and each of them carried a large animal skin package, a spear in one hand, and a crutch in the other, ready to go out of the mountains. Seeing that everything was ready, Yi Fan turned to the girl and said, "Sister-in-law, we're leaving. "
He finally said goodbye to the girl and the child, and the two of them headed north. The girl didn't go back into the cave until she couldn't see them anymore. Lu Yi and the others walked for more than 20 days, during which time they experienced high mountains, steep mountains, valleys, deep streams, swamps, and rivers, and escaped from the mouths of beasts several times. Fortunately, Robinson led the way, otherwise Yi Fan would have died alone in the deep mountains. They walked in a valley that day, and seeing that it was getting dark, they looked for a cave to stay. Robinson looked out for a long time at the entrance of the valley and said, "Yi Fan! This place is not far from the outside. Let's rest for one night and we can go out of the mountain tomorrow. "
Yi Fan said "hmm". He also realized that this place was very different from the deep mountains before. There were already paths trampled by humans. There was no conversation all night. The next morning, the two set out. At noon, they came down from a hillside. Yi Fan looked down and saw another gentle slope, and then a huge plain. More than ten miles away from the plain was the edge of a big city. It was impossible to see farther because it was not a clear sky. There seemed to be a lot of fog in the hazy air. It was impossible to see far away. It just felt that the city covered a large area.
