Chapter 15 Gong Er Tuogu
In the following days, Gong Er and Pang San hid in the east and west of Xuanshui Mountain, slowly figured out the rules of monster shift, and finally found a way to the outside world. The underground river finally escaped from Xuanshui Mountain.
After the narration, Gong Er said to Li Chuan: "Scholar, don't worry, they all thought that the third brother was dead and I escaped. The third brother is here with you and will not cause you any trouble. You just need to put him in a corner, give him some water, and feed him some small fish and shrimps from time to time. If there are no fish or shrimps, just give him some grass."
Li Chuan looked at the appearance of the other three and said: "These are not problems. Brother Pang's injury requires a doctor to take a look at it?"
Gong Er said: "How can a doctor know how to treat a crab?"
Li Chuan thought that the hard-boiled eggs might be worth reading, but firstly he couldn't find anyone, and secondly if he found them, he might be asked for debt.
"Scholar, if my third brother really can't get better, after he dies, you can bury him by the river and make a mark. Don't worry, I will definitely repay you well in the future." Gong Er The voice was shrill.
Li Chuan noticed Gong Er's intention to take care of him, and he asked: "Then where are you planning to go?"
Gong Er stomped his chicken feet bitterly and said, "I I must continue to search for immortals and Taoism, and find ways to practice cultivation. When I return from my studies, I will avenge my third brother!” I remember every one of them. I won’t let them go!”
Li Chuan thought for a while and asked Gong Er to wait in the yard. Then he went to the house to find the skylark knot stored in the cage.
He told Gong Er about Taoist Wen, and in the process he concealed the connection with "The Classic of Patterns". Then he handed the Skylark Knot to Gong Er and said, "This is the token given to me by Taoist Wen. Take it. With it, you can listen to the lecture at the Four Gods Palace. Take this skylark knot and go to the Four Gods Palace of Tianju Mountain. I don't know where Tianju Mountain is, but you can definitely find out with your ability. "
Gong Er nodded and did not refuse. He pecked the skylark's knot in his mouth and hid it under his wings.
Seeing that Gong Er had put away the skylark knot, Li Chuan said again: "When you go to the Four Gods Palace, you must abide by the rules there. Don't be like that fox who didn't learn the skills but instead I'll lose my life. By the way, if there is a trick you can learn, remember to learn it. It will be useful to me."
Then he promised Gong Er: "Don't worry, go seek help. I will take good care of Brother Pang. .”
Gong Er nodded, with a few tears in his eyes, and said, "Scholar, I believe in you. Don't worry, I will abide by the rules there when I go to the Four Gods Palace, and I will never embarrass you!"
After finishing speaking, Gong Er rushed forward, and after leaving the backyard, he burrowed into the rice field, swaying crookedly but moving very fast, and disappeared from Li Chuan's sight in a few clicks.
Li Chuan retracted his half-stretched hand. He originally wanted to ask Gong Er what he thought of the legend of chickens, demons, and ghosts.
I clapped my hands and laughed.
He and these two monsters are destined to be together.
The original Li Chuan was frightened to death by Gong Er and San.
On the night when they escaped from the temple, they fought against the red-furred fox together, and truly formed a life-and-death bond. What's more, these two little monsters also found him a charlatan.
I can’t figure it out.
I hope Gong Er can learn more about being a human being and a demon in the Four Gods Palace, and do more good deeds in the future.
Li Chuan was thinking while checking Pang San's injuries.
The crab shell was completely broken, and it could barely hang on to the body with some mucus.
It was motionless, its two crab eyes tilted to the sides, and it really looked like a dead crab.
Li Chuan stood up, took a plate, put the other three on it, and poured some river water into it.
After that, I went to the paddy field to look around, touched some shrimps and snails, picked some weeds, and put them on the plate.
I hope I can really live. At this time, a ray of sunlight fell on the crab shell. In Li Chuan's sight, the crab shell became transparent, and the crab meat organs also became transparent. Following the light, the entire crab body slowly decomposed in front of Li Chuan's eyes. After reading it, it was decomposed into different pattern structures one after another. Li Chuan felt that they looked familiar. He might have read them in "The Classic of Patterns", but he didn't recognize any of them. He only felt dizzy and swollen.
When he was about to look away, everything suddenly fluttered, and all the structures scattered into light spots. They were all dots and horizontal structures, but some were crooked. Some are separated.
It looks like a pattern in kindergarten.
I don’t know how long it took, but the ray of sunshine was covered by the clouds.
Li Chuan calculated in his mind and felt that it could be repaired, but he could use leaves to repair the pot, bricks and mud tiles to repair the wall, and what materials should be used to repair crabs?
Forget it, let Pang San take care of himself first.
Li Chuan thought as he placed the plate in the shade of the yard.
In the evening, Li Chuan took another look at Pang San. There were fewer shrimps and less grass on the plate.
Able to eat, it seems that he is indeed alive.
So in the following days, Li Chuan changed the water for Pang San once a day and gave him some food.
One day when the family was having dinner, a plate was missing. Li Chuan thought about it, put the other three in the pot, and washed the plate. After finishing the meal and putting Pang San on the plate again, he saw Pang San's eyes seem to move in the direction of the pot.
Dong-dong-dong, there was a knock on the door.
"Li Xiucai, is Li Xiucai here?" Someone called him outside.
Li Chuan opened the door and saw his neighbor, Old Man Lin, who lived not far behind his house, standing by the front door.
Old man Lin was holding a bowl in his hand. In the bowl was fried golden lotus root clips. The aroma was fragrant. After seeing Li Chuan, he said, "My mother-in-law made lotus root clips today. You can try them." Can I still eat it?”
Li Chuan quickly said: "You're too polite, you're too polite."
A while ago, the grandson of Old Man Lin's family and his friends ran to play in Li Chuan's field and burned the hay piled aside. Li Chuan happened to be at home. After smelling the smoke, he hurried to put out the fire and save people.
After the fire was extinguished, Old Man Lin came with his young grandson to apologize and to compensate Li Chuan for his losses.
Li Chuan refused and said: "Children are all naughty. My land has been neglected and there is no loss. I just need to educate them well in the future."
Then. After that, the two families moved around more.
Old man Lin often helped Li Chuan do some work in the fields. Whenever something delicious was cooked at home, he would always give Li Chuan a bowl.
Li Chuan was too embarrassed to eat and drink for free, so he taught his grandson how to read and read from time to time.
Old man Lin gave the lotus root clips and left
Li Chuan took the bowl and went back to the room to sit down.
Although he had just eaten, the lotus root had to be eaten while it was still hot, otherwise it would not be crispy. In the end, there was half of the lotus root left. He couldn't eat any more, so Li Chuan took it to the kitchen. , I plan to give Pang San an extra meal.
When I got to the kitchen, I saw the third person half crawling out of the plate, and seemed to be trying hard to climb into the pot.
