Fourteen is a deaf man who grew up on this Botu Mountain. For as long as he can remember, he has lived with some deaf people like himself. These people are not very old, they have older brothers and older sisters. The younger, like themselves, are in charge of laundry, cooking, chopping, and some are old enough to teach some simple sign language. There is a division of labor in life, and it will not be very hard. Xiao Fourteen thinks that this kind of life is quite good, and every day is quiet and fulfilling.

Older people don't need to do chores anymore. They are usually in groups of three, with each group taking turns going out of the mountain. The older children used to tell themselves in sign language that the group of people who went down the mountain went out to work and earn money. When he grows up, he will have to go out and work like them, and get back the money to provide for the defective children who have been abandoned like himself.

Some time later, on the day when he was just turning ten years old, a man came and found him. This person is the village chief of Shuangshan Village, south of Botu Mountain-Lao Bao. This man is not young, but he has a thin knife face. He always has a gentle smile on weekdays, and he looks like an ordinary farmer.

Lao Bao took Fourteen into the mountains alone and taught him some skills: he was taught how to track and how to counter-track; how to hide your body and how to spot traps; How to collect herbs and how to identify poisons.

What's more, this man also taught fourteen two-handed stunts:

This first hand is the use of hidden weapons. Flying locust stones, willow leaf flying knives, money darts, strong bows and crossbows, sleeve arrows, plum blossom needles, thistles, everything that can hurt people in the distance, fourteen have learned eight or nine.

The second hand is running. Fourteen grew up in the Botu Mountains since he was a child, and he has been practicing for a long time in the mountains and forests on weekdays. In this whole Botu Mountain, he even knows where a new sapling has been planted. However, Lao Bao taught him to run, which was slightly different from what he thought. What Lao Bao taught him was how to get out of the chase of different numbers of enemies, how to hide himself in various environments, and how to avoid enemies who were stronger than himself. The time spent on the fourteenth practice meeting was more than three times that of learning the secret weapon at the beginning.

These children spend more time learning skills than normal children. It's not that they're stupid, it's that they can't teach by example in a normal way. The method that Lao Bao taught them is also simple: do it yourself first, and then signal the children to do it. If you do it well, you will have delicious snacks; If you don't do it well, you will flick it towards the door of your head.

After a few years, it was time for the successful fourteen to go down the mountain. The difference is that this time, he is a group. According to his original conjecture, after he went down the mountain, he wanted to earn silver for his brothers and sisters on the mountain for living expenses. But whether it's farming or doing business, I don't know anything. Before going down the mountain, Lao Bao gave him a portrait. This portrait is a man, after he saw it clearly, Lao Bao took a pen and drew a cross alternately left and right.

I see, it's just killing. It's much easier than making money. Thinking so, Fourteen went back and got some applications, and went down the mountain alone.

Three days later, Fourteen returned to Botu Hill with a blue cloth baggage. As soon as he put the burden into the sauce jar at the door of Lao Bao's house, he took out some snacks and went back to Beishan while eating.

In this way, the organization of the winter solstice has another deaf killer named Fourteen.

Botu Mountain North, Winter Solstice Village

After Shen Gui took medicine every day, he was used to soaking in the hot springs to scatter medicine. Fourteen would come over every day, sometimes sitting on the edge of the hot spring to eat snacks, and sometimes jumping into the hot spring to soak in the water with Shen Gui. After a few days of getting along, Shen Gui was also used to having a silent buddy who suddenly appeared beside him.

The place where Fourteen lives is actually halfway up the north mountain of Botu, a relatively flat place, with more than a dozen small cabins, compared to Shuangshan Village, it is more like a village. The people living in the village were all deaf like Fourteen, both men and women, all very young, and the oldest seemed to be less than forty years old. After Shen Gui was also accustomed to loose medicine, he came to Fourteen to sit here. Fourteen spit out the plum kernel after eating the pickled plum, and asked Shen Gui to throw it out with his own hands. This hand looks like Lao Bao was teaching fourteen when he first did.

As the days went by, Shen Gui felt a little strange. The other deaf people in this village, although they can't speak, will express each other with their hands, and they can see the joy, anger and sorrow from each person's face, and even guess the general meaning that the other party wants to express. But the fourteenth man, though illiterate, knew sign language, but he still did not see him to communicate with other deaf people. And the others, as if they were already accustomed to Fourteen's temperament, would not come to him for anything important. When Fourteen was with him, he always looked gentle and smiling. Shen Gui even had the illusion that he sometimes felt that the fourteenth person could actually speak, but he just didn't want to.

But after just a few days of getting along, he fell in love with this deaf brother. It's just that when he teaches himself things on weekdays, he doesn't show any mercy when he starts to do it. If it weren't for the help of Botu Mountain Hot Spring every day, the current Shen Gui would definitely be beaten by him like an eggplant into essence.

In terms of Shen Gui's understanding, learning the fourteenth thing is naturally much faster than learning it himself. He himself has the Qi family's hunting skills, and he understands the mechanism of human bones and muscles better than others, and this speed is natural for him.

It's just that the pill that Granny Lin wants to take by herself has very peculiar medicinal properties. I have strange dreams every night, and when I wake up the next day, I often have a strange smell on my body, and sometimes I am scarred. Shen Gui, who was frightened, asked Fourteen on the third day to tie himself with a rope before he left. Because he clearly knows that no matter what the panacea is, if he falls from the top of the mountain in his sleep, he should not be able to save it.

There are thirteen pairs of this medicine, each of which is divided into two pills in the morning and evening. On the first night, he was under the protection of Master Wu Chengfeng, and after that, he was fourteen to accompany him. Twelve days have passed in the blink of an eye, and today, the last pill is in front of us.

Fourteen sat by the hot spring as usual, looking at the distant mountains outside the mountain. Shen Gui took out the last pill from his baggage and took it. Pill one, slow also. Generally speaking, according to pharmacology, if the medicine is a pill, its medicinal properties are slow. Although this medicine is strong, I don't know what ingredients are calming the soul, when the pain hits, after Shen Gui fell into a dream, he naturally didn't feel any pain, and he woke up the next day and was still refreshed. Therefore, in the previous days, this medicine did not bring any trouble to Shen Gui, although it would make the body's various abilities increase slightly, but after all, there were still some subtle changes.

As soon as this pill was ingested today, it fused with saliva, and unconsciously flowed into Shen Gui's abdomen. He secretly said in his heart that although there was not much difference in appearance between this medicine and the medicine of the previous days, it was very different from the medicine taken by him. Granny Lin put this special pill on the last day, and she didn't know what her intention was. Although the date is written on the outer cover, if it is a curiosity..................

Hurt! A strong pain spread from the chest and abdomen, and in just one breath, it spread to the limbs and hundreds of bones. Shen Hui didn't have time to undress, so he plunged into the hot spring pool, and the splash of water wet the whole body of Fourteen, who was sitting on the side watching the mountain view, and Fourteen turned his head and looked at Shen Gui in surprise.

"I ...... Know what you mean today...... Today's this...... It hurts so much! Shen Gui grinned and said, he didn't have time to care about his own speed of speech, whether he could be read out of his lips by Fourteen.

Fourteen observed Shen Gui's expression blankly for a while, and then jumped into the hot spring pool, and stretched out a middle finger towards Shen Gui.

"Damn, it's not you who dare to be emotional." Shen Gui was a little annoyed, regretting that he often used this gesture to tease him on weekdays.

Fourteen raised his outstretched middle finger and first put it on his mouth and bit it, and then stretched out his finger to Shen Gui............
