The scar-faced woman led him to Yin'e's mother-in-law, and slammed his feet as usual, causing Xiao Dongshan to fall into a dog and eat. Yin'e's mother-in-law asked, "Boy, have you figured it out?" Xiao Dongshan said angrily: "Figure out your mother!" If you want to worship Lao Tzu as a teacher, first kowtow to Lao Tzu a few times! "He was good at learning, so he didn't want to annoy the old woman and suffer less losses, but when he fell down after eating the scarface girl, he couldn't control his temper for some reason, so he had to scold, and he regretted it after scolding.

Sure enough, before the words fell, she had already eaten a slap from Yin'e's mother-in-law, half of her face was swollen, and Yin'e's mother-in-law kicked him again, kicking him over. Yin'e's mother-in-law pursed her mouth and motioned to the scar-faced woman. The scarface woman ripped off his shirt and hung him up again.

Yin'e's mother-in-law cursed in her mouth and gave her ten lashes. Xiao Dongshan gritted his teeth and said nothing.

The scar-faced woman sent him back to the stone room again, untied the acupoint, closed the stone door, and left.

Xiao Dongshan was lying on the ground, only to feel that it was not as painful as last time, and he kept thinking about one thing in his heart, even thinking about it when he fell asleep in a daze. The next day, after breakfast, his heart suddenly brightened, and he jumped with a hint of joy: "I seem to have found something amazing." ”

He lay on the edge of the cliff, straightened his head and looked left and right for nearly an hour, and the grasp in his heart was a little bigger, suffering from the blood on the whip marks on his back, and the pain was unbearable, so he didn't dare to move more.

After staying up all night, at dawn, he lay on the ground early, put his ear on the ground, and waited for the scar-faced woman to arrive. After a while, he only heard the sound of the stone door in the distance, although he couldn't hear the extremely light footsteps of the scar-faced woman, Xiao Dongshan carefully estimated where the scar-faced woman had gone, and calculated that the door was opened. When he walked to his door, Xiao Dongshan didn't get up, but held his breath and listened carefully, when there was a door knock, the scar-faced woman did not come in, and the door of his house did not open.

Xiao Dongshan held back his excitement and continued to listen, and soon, there was another door sound, and after listening to this sound, Xiao Dongshan stood up unhurriedly, and at this time, he heard the sound of the rope on his door, and then the door was opened. The scar-faced woman came in, saw Xiao Dongshan smiling, slightly surprised, put down the two bowls, took away the empty bowls, glanced at Xiao Dongshan again, closed the door and left. Xiao Dongshan calmed down, and he was already eighty percent sure in his heart.

"Not far from me, there's a similar stone room, and there's a person locked up there!"

After eating, he drank water, and then he went to the edge of the cliff, stretched his head straight and looked left and right, and waited for two or three hours, when suddenly a line of water fell straight down on the left side. When there is no rain at this time, where will the water come from?

"Wait, it's the man's pee!" Xiao Dongshan understood in his heart, and shouted in his mouth: "Hey! Friends next door, show your head, hey! Friends next door, show your head! ”

The voice came far away, and no one responded.

"Judging from the scene of being dragged out and whipped twice, this person should have eaten a whip in front of me, and after the scar-faced woman brought him back, he would have brought me again, otherwise the sound of the door was wrong when the scar-faced woman entered the cave, and most of the subtle footsteps I heard were his, and the scar-faced woman was wearing soft shoes, and there was never a sound...... The old woman didn't kill him, but locked up and persecuted him, could it be that she also wanted to take him as a disciple? Or is the so-called apprenticeship just a disguise, and the old woman has another poisonous plan? In any case, since this man is persecuted by the old woman, he is probably not an enemy, and I will call him again. Xiao Dongshan figured it out, stuck his head out and shouted, "Hey! Friends next door, come out, hey! Friends next door, show your head! ”

Still no one responded.

Since then, Xiao Dongshan has had one more pastime, screaming a few times from time to time, or lying on the edge of the cliff for a few hours, waiting for urine or to fall out there, and then shouting: "Pee,, talk, show your head!" "There was still no response.

He also estimated the distance from this side where the feces and urine had fallen, but only two or three feet away. He knew in his heart that behind the edges and corners of the cliff on the left, there was another stone chamber, which was covered by the edges and corners of the cliff, and he couldn't see the opening.

"Is there a way to climb over there?" After the injury on Xiao Dongshan's back was completely healed, he tried it, almost stumbled and fell into the abyss, scared out of a cold sweat, and said secretly: "If I have a strong hand, it is only a two-percent chance, to meet a person who doesn't know what kind of person, it is extremely unwise to exchange it with the chance that eighty percent will fall to death, not to mention that I have a wrist injury, and I have no chance, so I don't have to think about crawling over from the outside." ”

Time flies, another month has passed in a blink of an eye, and it has reached the fifteenth again.

This night, like the previous two times, the sound of the door was the same as before, and when he was taken out of the stone room, Xiao Dongshan paid special attention, and sure enough, by the faint light of the lantern, Xiao Dongshan saw that the stone wall of the stone room was about three feet away from a doorknob and a big lock, and from time to time he paid special attention to where he could see it in the dark! It was the next door, and apparently the man had been beaten.

When he was brought to the old tree, he was beaten ten more times, and when he came back, he looked again, and there was indeed a door.

After a long time, the excitement of finding someone next door cooled down: "It's useless to find a fart, it's just one more poor worm." He was disheartened and returned to boredom and loneliness.

There is really no pastime except to look at the clouds and stone walls, but loneliness is something that will eventually be adapted. Looking back on the past, I know that my strong heart is just like the clouds in the sky, and sigh that everything in this world is still in an orderly operation without me, and laugh at my heart of chivalry and righteousness, and give to everyone. I want to get out of trouble, but where do I go when I get out of trouble? Isn't it a big dilemma for people to live, so why should I rush out and struggle from a small cage to a big cage? The person who misses me and worries about me, how can his heart of longing and worry not be his original part of life? Why should I take the blame on myself? Eating and drinking every day, it is the time to calm down and think about life, why should I be restless? Am I really just a martial artist who wields a sword and wields a sword, and if I have peerless martial arts, what should I do? What does the outdoor crowd and landscape mean to me? Should I really do what Master said, seek a position and a half-official position for the benefit of one party? Like a father, does it really benefit one party? Am I here, is it a providence? No, no, no, God doesn't care about me at all, and I'm not the sun, moon and stars, I'm just unlucky.

Xiao Dongshan pondered many questions that he would only think about when he was extremely lonely, and finally returned to the bright light of his life - expectation. "Will there be fish for your next meal?" When Xiao Dongshan's most realistic expectation turned into a fish, he was secretly taken aback in his heart: "Is this how I finished?" Just became a walking dead who just wants to eat fish? I haven't eaten that strange fish for a long time. ”

His body gradually became thinner, and his fiery nature became smaller and smaller, and when he was taken to be whipped again, the scar-faced woman fell to him as usual, but he did not control his anger, but was silent and ate ten lashes.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and I could barely sleep at night, so I had to nap several times during the day to catch up on sleep. This night, I felt something different outside, so I moved to the edge of the cliff and stretched out my hand to try it, only to realize that it was snowing. It snowed heavily overnight, and when the scar-faced woman came to deliver food and water on the second day, Xiao Dongshan said: "Eldest sister, I'm about to freeze to death, can you bring me a bed and futon for the sake of Tianchun Dao's long face?" The scar-faced woman walked away as if she hadn't heard it.

When the scar-faced woman came to deliver food and water the next day, she threw in a large piece of felt cloth, Xiao Dongshan was very grateful, and bowed to the scar-faced woman to show her gratitude, but the scar-faced woman ignored him and left.

Xiao Dongshan wrapped the felt cloth around his body, the chill was greatly reduced, and he felt bored, and secretly thought: "I spend my years in vain, it is better to learn something useful, fortunately get out of trouble, and also have a skill." In the past, Master taught me medical skills, but I was stupid and couldn't learn Master's just in case, but now that I have nothing to do, why don't I read Master's medical books well, even if I can't understand them very well, I can memorize them first, and then I can use them as a pastime. ”

Thinking of this, I took Master's "Yi Jian Fang", looked through it for half an hour, only to feel sleepy, and secretly laughed in my heart: "Why am I sleepy as soon as I flip through the medical book?" "I changed the nameless medical book given by Jiang Bo of the Dong nationality to look through it, and it was just some medical theory and prescriptions, but when I explained the acupuncture points of the human body, it was quite detailed, and there were hand-drawn paintings, so I watched it here for half an hour.

Flipping back, from time to time there are hand-drawn small pictures, all of which are patterns of medicinal materials, which are different from Master's "Easy Recipes", which are not some common things, but mostly rare and legendary things. After turning two more pages, I felt a shock to my spirit, and it turned out that there was a fish drawn in the book, with four legs, which was the same as the strange fish that I could eat from time to time in the first two months of my arrival. I saw a few words under the painting: Nayu, there is water flowing up in Shumei Prefecture, and this fish is mostly seen in the trees by the stream here. Sweet, flat, nourishing, strong. A circle is drawn on the strong word. Xiao Dongshan couldn't help but be disappointed when he saw it, he had hoped that this fish would be juxtaposed with other strange things, and it would have some miraculous effect, but it was just a nourishing thing.
