Drinking this bottle of wine, the old beggar's spirit seems to be much better. He is a discerning person. Although his old eyes are dim, he has experience and knowledge. After talking with me for so long, I can see that I am not what I used to be.
"Thirteen, when I saw you this time, I also fulfilled my long-cherished wish. You are still young, and you will have a long way to go. Remember your original intention and don't forget your roots."
"Yes, old man, what you said to me, I remember it in my heart, and I won't forget it."
"I'm old, I'm a bit verbose, I know your disposition, but, after this meeting, I'm afraid there will be no chance to meet again. Therefore, I still talk about it." The old beggar regards life and death as nothing, his time is not There are too many, but he doesn't care at all. As before, he smiled and said: "When I get old, I can't get rid of my problems. I've been addicted to alcohol all my life."
The old beggar took the wine gourd and started drinking again. I feel uncomfortable. He is telling the truth. There is no permanent banquet in this world. This meeting, perhaps, is really our last.
People are going to die, no matter who they are, there is no exception, but people are sentient, knowing that things that cannot be reversed will still be sad.
After chatting with the old beggar for a long time, I suddenly thought that if the old beggar has a lot of knowledge and walks the rivers and lakes for a lifetime, will he know the mysterious shadow, and the shadow's stunts with its strength
Thinking of this, I told the old beggar from beginning to end. After listening, the old beggar held the wine gourd and looked down for a long time.
"Thirteen, what you said, I have never heard of it. With the help of hard work, some people on the rivers and lakes will use it. However, the person you said seems to have practiced this way to the highest point. It is seamless and impeccable. "
"Yes, I have no room to fight back at all. As long as I shot, my strength will definitely be used by him."
"I can't tell why, I just thought to myself, after all, it's still your strength not reaching that point. If you really reach that point, your strength, he will not be able to catch it."
"When that person used this trick, was it like an empty bottle, and as soon as my strength came out, he was immediately sucked away by him." I thought about it and said, "If my strength is great, If he can't fit this bottle, it will overflow."
"That's about the truth. The water overflows. This is the unchanging theorem." The old beggar smiled, perhaps complimenting my dexterity, but after a smile, he frowned slightly and said: "Thirteen. , You mentioned Huangquan Road. I happened to have something. I thought about it. I didn’t want to tell you, but I couldn’t hide it.”
"Old man, what's the matter?"
"You asked me why I was hurt. I didn't want to say it." The old beggar took a sip of his wine, raised his head lightly, squinted his eyes, and said, "That was all three years ago."
Three years ago, the old beggar knew that time was running out and wanted to hurry up and say goodbye to his surviving old friends. At that time, he arrived in Shandong. The big river flowed eastward on the south side of the beach, and finally entered the sea from Shandong. Therefore, although far away from the big river beach, there is still the shadow of the big river over there.
The old beggar searched for an old friend in Shandong and stayed there for a few days. Because there were other things, he finally said goodbye and walked west from there, trying to reach the southern end of the river beach, and then headed north.
One day, the old beggar arrived at a Qidaoying
Locally, Qidaoying is mostly fishermen. They live by fishing. They live a hard life and there is no oil and water to fish. Therefore, there are ordinary people nearby, and there are no messy people in the rivers and lakes.
Qidaoying's folk style is simple and honest, and when the old beggar walked over there, he happened to drank all his wine. He saw a few fishermen resting by the river. The fishermen went into the water and often drank alcohol to protect themselves from the damp and cold. After the old beggar passed by, he wanted to buy some wine from the other party. However, the few fishermen were very enthusiastic and distributed the wine to the old man. The beggar drank, the old beggar drank with the fishermen happily and talked about it. He was knowledgeable and he told the story to the point. Those fishermen were fascinated by it. It was not until mid-afternoon that he hadn't gone down to the river to fish.
A few fishermen told the old beggar that they went down to the river to fish and asked the old beggar to wait here. After the fish was caught, they boiled a pot of fish soup at night, and then they drank and chatted.
The old beggar also likes to deal with these simple people. Seeing that the sky is getting late, anyway, they are looking for a place to rest. They simply stay here for one night and move on the next day.
Several fishermen took a small boat and walked down the river. The scope of their fishing is not very large, that is more than ten miles. The old beggar sat on the shore and took a nap. After waiting for about two or three hours, from a distance, he saw the fishing boat sailing here from the lower reaches. Come.
The old beggar stood up and was preparing to welcome the fishermen. However, the boat suddenly capsized. The boat turned very strangely. It turned upside down in the calm and calm waves. Several people on the boat fell into the water with the boat.
The fishermen by the river have good water quality. Even if the boat capsized, they would definitely be able to swim to the river. However, after these fishermen fell into the water, they seemed to sink to the bottom and never showed up again.
The old beggar was a little anxious, thinking that something might have happened. He has been a knight for all his life, and when the road sees unevenness, he will definitely draw his sword to help. Therefore, the old beggar hurriedly pushed a small sampan on the bank into the water and hurried toward it. Paddling over there.
This small sampan was abandoned here, and the wood that can be used on the boat was also removed. It was moved very slowly, and it would enter the water inadvertently. The old beggar was irritated. It has been so long and the fishermen still haven't seen their heads. If they look like this, they are likely to be ill-fortuned.
When the old beggar swiped the sampan with all his strength to get closer, he suddenly felt a sharp chill. The temperature of the river water suddenly dropped, and strands of chill spread all over the body. The old beggar was slightly startled and suddenly slowed down.
As he slowed down, a few people slowly emerged not far from the front. Although they were in the river, they seemed to be lying on the ground, face down and back up. , The body is still twisting gently.
By the moonlight, the old beggar quickly saw that the few people who emerged from the water were the previous fishermen. They were lying on a large block of ice, so they seemed to be lying flat on the ground.
The ice block is estimated to be two feet square, and the frozen is firm. After it surfaced, the cold air became heavier. The fishermen on the ice were constantly twisting like insects. The old beggar couldn't figure it out. What is going on, I just want to get people back first.
He drove the sampan again and speeded up, but just as the small sampan moved, several fishermen on the ice were next to each other.
, It's like getting into the ice and disappearing in an instant.
The old beggar was even more surprised. Although it was at night, the moonlight was very bright. He could see that there were faint shadows in that big block of ice, which were clearly the fishermen.
How these fishermen got into the ice in such a short time, the old beggar couldn't understand, but he knew that if he was a little late, these people would definitely be completely hopeless.
He swiped the sampan violently, and before approaching, he leaped into the air and jumped from the sampan to the ice.
Although the weather was not hot at that time, it was not until the end of the winter, and the river surface could not be frozen, nor could there be such a large block of ice in the river. After the ordinary ice cube enters the river, it will melt soon, but this ice cube is as strong as an iron lump.
The moment the old beggar stood on the ice with his feet, his mind was a little fuzzy. He felt that he was standing in front of the Guimen Pass, one foot had already crossed the Guimen Pass.
When the old beggar talked about this, I suddenly remembered an event from a long, long time ago. At that time, I ran into Huangquan Road crookedly and met Huangquan's corpse collector. He did not embarrass me. It just didn't let me leave for the time being.
During that period, I wandered around on Huangquan Road for a few days. I remember very clearly that once, I accidentally ran into the room with only a few people. I had to cook a lot of meals every day for the coolies on Huangquan Road. The general houses are smoky and hot all year round. But the room on Huangquan Road felt cold when I walked in.
Later, I learned that there were a few large buckets in the room, and all the buckets were filled with frozen Yellow Spring River water. There is only one Yellow Spring River in this world. Once the water of the Yellow Spring River freezes, it is as strong as iron, even if it is too hot. In his room, it won’t melt. These guys relied on the ice of the yellow spring river to cool down.
I think that in this world, the Yellow Spring River will not melt until it freezes.
However, the place the old beggar said was still far away from the big river beach and further away from Huangquan Road. Where did that large piece of ice come from
The old beggar was standing on the ice. There was no other people around. He could see that a few fishermen got into the ice and left a vague shadow.
The old beggar wanted to break the ice block and get the fishermen out of it, but he tried it, only to find that the ice block was as strong as iron and couldn't move at all.
At this moment, the old beggar suddenly discovered that those vague shadows gradually seemed to be melted in the ice.
This discovery made the old beggar panic. It was not that he was afraid that he would be in danger, but that the fishermen might not be saved.
In desperation, the old beggar struggled to smash the ice cube. The ice cube was very strong, but the old beggar’s kung fu was not for nothing. He bombarded the ice with his fists one after another, smashing up twenty or thirty punches in one breath. , This piece of ice seemed to crack a straight gap slightly from the middle.
As soon as the gap appeared, the old beggar felt that there was more hope. However, in a blink of an eye, he felt wrong again. The crack on the ice cube was too straight, just like someone holding a ruler and gesturing to cut it out.
Just when the old beggar was shaking, the huge block of ice cracked in the middle with a click.
