Chapter 41: Selling the Mallet (1)
When the miners dispersed in a hurry, Huo Xiaoshan and Murong Pei were already on the way to the county seat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
They knew from the rescued miner that this place was far away from the county seat, and few devils usually came here, so they walked on the road with peace of mind.
Huo Xiaoshan had already changed his clothes before he came back to find Murong Pei, and the clothes were washed and dried there outside the miners' shed.
Huo Xiaoshan had to change because he splashed blood when he killed devils, this was the first time Huo Xiaoshan had killed so many devils face-to-face.
In the dark night, Huo Xiaoshan gently pushed open the door, listening to the snoring of Japanese devils and Chinese, Huo Xiaoshan had a trace of hesitation at the moment when he raised the Yanling knife in his hand, this hesitation was not due to the courage and skill of the suicide, but because he adhered to the compassionate belief of his mother Song Zijun, but in an instant, the tragedy of the mountain village being slaughtered was due to the bloody nature of his father Huo Yuan, and he was bloody, killing the devil was to release the life for the Chinese, Huo Xiaoshan silently recited Hao Cunyi's famous words, so he drew the knife and cut it down.
Maybe it's because Huo Xiaoshan's attack is much faster than ordinary people, maybe it's because the Yanling knife is too sharp, maybe those arrogant devils have forgotten that the land they slept on didn't belong to them and lost their due vigilance, Huo Xiaoshan's voice was very small when he killed the devil without blood, just like chopping melons and vegetables, more than thirty devils slept like this and went to be accompanied by the cherry blossom soul in the dream.
This was a pure killing, and this kind of gore made Huo Xiaoshan understand why the Buddhists said that the human body was just a stinky skin, and that it was only beautiful on a layer of skin.
People have their own attachments, some people can't let go of money, some people can't let go of women, some people can't let go of fame and fortune, and some people hold the wine jar every day.
And Huo Xiaoshan didn't know that this killing also aroused his inner killing heart.
In the later anti-Japanese career, he was often in the entanglement of killing and compassion, if he allowed his killing heart to be indulged, he would become a killing god, a killing god who wanted to kill all the invaders, but he also believed in Buddhism, which made him constantly control the desire and impulse to kill.
But after all, it was a future that even Huo Xiaoshan himself couldn't predict, and this was the first time to kill so many devils, although it was in the dark night when the devils had no resistance, but that bloody breath still made Huo Xiaoshan feel sick afterwards,
At this time, Huo Xiaoshan and Murong Pei were looking at the piece of dog's head gold in Huo Xiaoshan's hand with great interest.
This piece of dog's head gold was accidentally found by Huo Xiaoshan in the iron box when he was packing up the small bag containing sand gold.
It weighs four pounds, is golden yellow, and has dots of green impurities in the middle, looking like a golden little monkey.
"Is this the dog's head gold? It doesn't look like a dog's head, does it? Murong Pei asked curiously.
"The dog's head is just a metaphor, you know? I suppose the first piece of gold that was picked up must have looked like a dog's head, and the name spread, and it was not necessarily in the shape of a dog's head. Huo Xiaoshan said.
"That's right, if the first piece of gold that is picked up is in the shape of a human head, it has to be called human head gold, and if it is in the shape of a horse's head, it has to be called horse head gold," Murong Pei said with an innocent face.
"Well, you're so smart, maybe the first piece can be called donkey's head gold." Huo Xiaoshan couldn't help but joke when he looked at Murong Pei's appearance.
Murong Pei also heard the banter in Huo Xiaoshan's words, she pouted, did not say anything, but her eyes were still staring at the dog's head gold.
In this world, women will always love beauty more than men, and there is no woman who does not like jewelry made of precious metals, and the expressions on which women look at what they like are also very cute.
Huo Xiaoshan was admiring Murong Pei's focused appearance when he looked at the dog's head Jin at close range, his black shining eyes, his eyelashes, and the faintly white clarity under the collar and neck.
He thought of the scene when he found Murong Pei in the middle of the night.
The climate temperature difference in Heilongjiang in summer is very large, the sun is hot during the day, and the night is as cool as water at night, that is, people at home have to cover quilts in the second half of the night.
And when Huo Xiaoshan found Murong Pei, she was already sitting next to a big tree and asleep, with a piece of dead wood under her buttocks, her hands holding her shoulders and trembling, like a homeless child in the night.
Although the night was dark, Huo Xiaoshan felt that he had seen Murong Pei's long eyelashes, and at that moment Huo Xiaoshan felt that there was a most sensitive and soft place in his heart that moved.
Huo Xiaoshan has gradually adapted to the days with Murong Pei.
He found that he and Murong Pei had a good conversation, because Murong Pei knew a lot of knowledge that he also knew, and this knowledge was not known to the friends in the original mountain village, not only did he not know, but if he said it, they would laugh at it.
Knowledge such as "the earth is round, the sun is a burning fire, and when you go to the edge of the continent there is an endless ocean".
Is the outside world really so exciting, Huo Xiaoshan faintly had a kind of expectation.
He thought about it like this, so much so that he lost his mind.
"What are you looking at?" Murong Pei noticed Huo Xiaoshan's strangeness.
Huo Yi Xiaoshan came to his senses at this time, his face couldn't help but blush, and he hurriedly diverted his gaze.
A flush crept up Murong Pei's face, and she was now quite glad that she had yellow powder on her face.
Both of them pretended that nothing had happened, but a sense of happiness quietly arose in the hearts of both of them at the same time.
"How do we get to the county seat?" After a while, Murong Pei asked.
"We'll talk about it there." Huo Xiaoshan replied, "The past cannot be left behind, the future cannot be known, and all we can grasp is the present." Huo Xiaoshan casually said a very philosophical sentence. This statement still has a good source, from the "Diamond Sutra" in the three worlds of emptiness.
Murong Pei looked at Huo Xiaoshan with a new gaze, and she sometimes felt that this boy was sometimes so real, and sometimes it was like a mystery.
How can a child growing up in the mountains have so many?
Needless to say, she had seen how he had defeated devils who were much stronger than him and whose weapons were much more advanced than him.
Nengwen, he can also understand mathematics and some basic knowledge of physical chemistry, not to mention Mandarin!
She asked Huo Xiaoshan where his cultural knowledge came from, Huo Xiaoshan said that it was taught by her mother-in-law Song Zijun, so what kind of magical woman would her mother-in-law be, living in the deep mountains and old forests of Heilongjiang and her hometown is in the prosperous Jinling City?
Three days later, in a pharmacy in the county seat.
A guy ran from the front desk to the back room in a hurry, and collided with the old shopkeeper who came out.
"What's going on crazy?" The old shopkeeper reprimanded dissatisfiedly.
"Shopkeeper, go to the shop and take a look, what a big mallet!" The guy said excitedly.
