Si Ya's questions touched my inner kindness. For a child like her who was born for sacrifice, never went to school, and never left the mountains, the outside world is really wonderful, just like the golden toad in the well and the people in the village. Their world may only be the sky above their heads. The pupils of the children chasing and playing in front of me are so black and white. I saw many people's desire for this world, but then the festering abscesses and the rotting corpses on the ground appeared in my mind again, and I couldn't help but feel that maybe I should really do something!
I touched her head and said, "There is not only the Hetao outside, but also the sea." I pointed to the north and said, "Go north from here, and you will reach the estuary of the Tumen River, which is on the border between North Korea and China. You can also see the Sea of Japan there, or follow the Yalu River to the Yellow Sea. You can also pass by your brother's hometown from here. When your brother finishes his work, I will take you for a walk and see the sea by the way."
"Okay!" Si Ya jumped up excitedly, but soon after she was excited, she whispered, "Then you will be my brother-in-law, although Si Ya also loves you, you can't compete with your sister."
Seeing her serious look, I laughed and flicked her head. She also mischievously found her friends to play snowballs, and shouted that she was going to see the sea while running, which made those children of the same age envious.
A young man does not know the taste of sorrow. I feel old without realizing it. When I took out a cigarette, Chen Xiaomei suddenly came over and snatched it away. She pinched her waist and said, "You smoke one cigarette after another. You are dying. Smoke less. Don't you look at your face? It's so pale and scary. I'm afraid that a gust of wind will blow you down."
I smiled and didn't say much. When Chen Xiaomei wanted to teach me a lesson, the villagers around started to toast, which made her teach me a lesson. The fat sister-in-law's husband moved a large jar of white wine from the wine cellar at home for everyone to drink. I also found that the big dog with the soul of his wife squatted in front of the door and watched the sheep that had just been slaughtered in front of him. In general, everyone had a very happy day.
I was afraid that drinking would cause trouble, so I didn't drink much, but Mao Shi drank a lot. But seeing that this situation would not end for a while, I simply scratched my throat and vomited a few times, raised my head and lay on the snow pretending to faint.
This also caused people around to laugh. Some older people shouted to Chen Xiaomei: "Da Ya, help your sweetheart back to the kang."
"Only on the kang, you can only go on the kang, you can't kiss casually!" Another voice caused laughter.
"If anyone talks nonsense again, I will break your teeth!" Chen Xiaomei pulled her neck and cursed a few words, then helped me up. To be honest, she was quite strong. I was a big guy and was helped by her to go back to Chen Tiebao's house. Even though I drank less that day, I was a little confused. I went to the kang and closed my eyes and pretended to sleep when I entered the house.
Chen Xiaomei helped me take off my shoes, unbuttoned my cotton clothes, spread the bedding on the kang, and boiled a basin of water for me. I saw all this, but I didn't know how to face her, so I simply chose to continue pretending to sleep.
Soon she took a towel and dipped it in hot water to wipe the dirt on my mouth when I vomited, including my hands and feet. Her movements were very soft and light, as if she was afraid of waking me up. She cleaned me up front and back. I heard her muttering to herself: "My mother said that I can't go to the city when I get married. People in the city are too cunning. We are not smart enough and are afraid of being cheated. My mother also said that you look like someone who can do big things, and you are a city person, so you will definitely look down on me. But that's nothing. You have done so much for Si Ya, and I have done it all for her." I saw it in my eyes. "As she spoke, I felt like she was crying. After a pause, she said, "Dad said you are leaving tomorrow. I don't know if I can see you in this life, and I don't know if you will remember me." After that, she lowered her head and kissed my forehead. It is the most difficult to accept the favor of a beauty. The most hurtful thing in this world is not a knife, but the kind of feelings that you want but cannot get, just like me to Jiang Shiyu, Chen Xiaomei to me, we are all in a dead loop, knowing that what we do is stupid, but sometimes who can guarantee that we are not stupid? She left the room soon. At this time, I opened my eyes and wiped the tears from my cheeks. I felt a lot of emotions in my heart. It is undeniable that she is indeed a good girl. When I was immersed in this sad emotion, Mao Shi's voice suddenly came from the door: "Are you done with the farewell?" "Second brother, you are not drunk? When did you come?" I was quite surprised. He picked his teeth and said, "We have seen such a sad drama. When did you say I came? If you ask me, you should keep this girl. Look how considerate she is when she wipes your body and face. My mother didn't serve me like this when I was a child."
"Don't talk nonsense." I sighed, "I can't get married."
"You entered Zhongnan Mountain?" he asked in surprise.
I shook my head. He wouldn't understand even if I told him, because the silver amulet on my neck always reminded me not to forget that person, the Taoist robes that bound me, and the two years of life.
"You are so mysterious. Let's go. Don't stay. The village chief said that the banquet will last for three days. If you don't leave, it will delay things. When the snow stopped, I tried to ask with a satellite phone. Xing Zhan said that someone found the ancient relics and sent the location to me. Hurry up." He said.
"Okay!" I got up and rubbed my head. I didn't know the way in the mountains, so I went to find Chen Tiebao secretly. As for the 100-day red, I believe it must exist, just like there must be an antidote within seven steps of a poisonous snake bite. In order to balance, nature is like the yin embracing the yang in the Tai Chi diagram. All things are balanced, and the extreme yin and yang belong to the same principle.
Let's not talk about it anymore. Taking advantage of the night, we secretly took Liu Tiebao away, and I didn't say goodbye to Chen Xiaomei. I always felt that if I really faced her, I didn't know what to say, so I simply chose to escape. I borrowed a dog plow from the fat sister-in-law's house. Taking advantage of the white moonlight, we arrived at the original ranger's cabin.
After resting there for a night, I took the map at dawn the next day. The electronic satellite positioning, the green dot represents us, and the red dot represents the destination. According to the record above, the destination is the Korean Autonomous County. Mao Shi took out the map of Jilin Province. It is close to Huishan, North Korea, and belongs to the border area. To go there, you have to take a boat to the Yalu River first.
Chen Tiebao said with difficulty: "It's not easy to deal with. It's very dangerous if we go."
"Dangerous?" I was confused. Even Jin Chan was killed. What danger could there be?
"Well, it's not easy to mess with that place. They are a bit hostile to us Han people. There are also local gangs. If we just go into the city, first of all, we can't speak the language, and secondly, it's easy to be locked up and robbed." Chen Tiebao said worriedly.
This is difficult to deal with. Xing Zhan gave me three areas. One of them is the exit of the dragon. There is too much evil wind there. It is not suitable for building tombs and cities, because you block the way of the dragon, and there is only one way to die. The other two are the area of Songjiang River and the Korean Autonomous County.
I don't know if you have seen the movie "The Yellow Sea". It tells the story of villagers from the Korean ethnic group in the Chinese border sneaking into South Korea to find wives. The movie also reflects that the border is not as fairy-tale as written in the book.
The song "Fifty-six Nationalities Are One Family" sung by Aying fully reflects the Han people's desire for unity, but in fact, ethnic minorities are basically very repulsive to the Han people, and the people there are poor and eager to sneak into South Korea to make a living. The chaotic environment on the border has led to a large number of underworld gangs. Most of the evil forces are human traffickers and gambling stalls. Our destination this time is exactly there.
The heavy snow stopped, and the satellite phone also had a signal. Mao Shi called Xing Zhan, who told us to go to Jiangkou and there would be a boat to pick us up. After hanging up the phone, Mao Shi spread his hands: "Let's go, people have spoken, go to Jiangkou and wait for the boat."
"What about the Hundred Days Red?" Chen Tiebao asked worriedly.
I frowned. There are so many forests in the mountains, and it is very difficult to encounter them. I thought about it and said: "Let's go up the mountain first. I'll see if there are any corpses. It's not too late to go after I come back."
"Then you be careful. I won't understand it if I go there. I'll wait for you here." Mao Shi added some fire to the stove in the cabin.
I thought it was a good idea, so I went up the mountain with Chen Tiebao out of the cabin. He led the way and told me where there were traps to avoid. If it weren't for him, I would have been killed by the traps if I fell into the pits. Finding dragons is a delicate job. In addition to checking the mountain, you also need to close the water outlets. The choice of the dead place is just the opposite.
The dragon's momentum cannot be endless, and there must be signs of a dragon falling, and the break must be deep, just like a divine sword from the sky cutting off the dragon's head. We climbed all the way to the top of the mountain, where we can see the majestic Tianchi towering over the clouds, like a huge swallow's nest nurturing life.
There were no living things in the water of Tianchi in ancient times. The water there was extremely clear, but scientifically speaking, it was an active volcano, and the oxygen content in the water was very, very low, and no fish could survive. It was only in modern times that someone cultivated a fish called rainbow trout in Tianchi that there were signs of life.
According to Feng Shui, no creatures can survive in mountains where tigers crouch and dragons coil. Tigers are too evil, so small animals have already run away. As for the changeable dragon, it will kill all living things around it when it keeps moving, so there is the saying "dragons rest and wind hides".
After finding the right direction to find the dragon vein against the trend and looking for a full hour, I finally saw a mountain range cut off by the sky. According to Feng Shui, the place below is the corpse of the dragon after death.
Took out a mirror, hung it on the protruding rock, and pointed to the mountain. Chen Tiebao said he could find it. So the two of us walked into the mountain again on the heavy snow. So, Feng Shui masters are not only a brainwork, but also a physical job when performing. Without physical fitness and courage, they may either die of exhaustion or fall into the ditch when performing.
It was around 3:00 p.m. when we finally reached the cliff. I guess Chen Tiebao and I will have to spend the night in the mountains. Fortunately, he is an old forest ranger and is familiar with how to survive in the mountains.
He was panting heavily, with white frost on his eyebrows. The snow in front of him was very thick, which was a very difficult test for finding a cave. In this case, people who just got acquainted would choose to wait until the snow melted before looking. Those who really understood it could judge by looking at the degree of melting of the upper layer of snow, because snow would change with the ground.
"Amitabha, may you succeed this time." Chen Tiebao actually worshipped Buddha.
I pushed him: "Repeat it! Say Amitabha, may you succeed this time."
"Isn't it different?" he said. "I am a Taoist priest. If it succeeds, tell me whether it is the blessing of Buddha or the ancestors. Don't just do something idle and create karma for me. Read it again!" I said it seriously again. Now every word is not a joke. There are gods above our heads. We must be careful when speaking.
According to what I said, Chen Tiebao read it again. When I waded into the mountain with satisfaction in the heavy snow, I was moved by something soon. It felt soft, like some animal.
Then there was a cry from below: "Oh my god, someone stepped on me in this place where no one lives. Damn it, I will beat you to death!" A person suddenly jumped out of the snow pile!
