In order to allow Bai Zang to walk out of the mountain smoothly and talk to the nearby villagers, Bai Tan specially organized a surprise drill, asking Bai Zang to practice the few words he had learned several times, and he himself simulated various situations. Bai Zang had an oral conversation, and wrote down a few words that the villagers might say word by word, and taught Bai Zang to listen to them.

Bai Tan tapped on the blackboard to mark the key point, "Listen well, if someone asks who you are, what should you say?"

With a paralyzed face, Bai Zang said mechanically and numbly: "Bai Zang." It was like a learning machine without emotion.

Bai Tan continued to ask: "What are you doing in our village?"

This sentence is relatively complicated, Baizang was a little stuck, hesitated for a while, and said vaguely: "Buy salt, buy grain, and reduce swelling medicine."

Bai Tan reminded: "What else?"

Bai Zang glanced at Bai Zang, "...seek help, someone, someone is trapped in the mountains."

"So good." Bai Tan rubbed Bai Zang's hair, and said with pity: "Brother also knows that this seems a bit difficult for you, after all, urging you to learn this and that, if it backfires, it will be bad, but, we This is nothing, if this continues, brother will definitely die here..."

These words are not false. After Bai Tan's foot was injured, the bruise became more and more serious without timely treatment. If it was just a skin trauma, it would be nothing more than a twisted bone inside. The slightest movement would cause a sharp pain. Bai Tan Jinji is independent After a few days, I couldn't stand it any longer.

After all, it was the child's first time traveling far away, and Bai Tan, the head of the family, was really worried. He persisted for another three or four days, teaching Bai Zang how to dress and comb his hair.

These details are easy to talk about, but Bai Zang is surprisingly stubborn when it comes to walking upright, Bai Tan has no choice but to show him by jumping around.

In fact, walking on only two hind legs is not difficult for Baizang, it's just that he is not used to it. Unless he is always alert, his true colors will be revealed as soon as he relaxes.

After these days of urgent special training, Baizang made rapid progress. He stood under the sun, and when he was silent and did not speak, he had a face full of vitality, sharp edges and corners, and full of sharpness, which was quite intimidating. It is even more straight and slender, like a crisp young white poplar, very attractive.

It was a sunny day, the sky was blue and clear without any haze, and Bai Tan suffered from an occupational disease again. He put his hand on the brow bone and said enthusiastically, "Look, the sky is so clear and clear. A good crystal is really top-grade."

Bai Zang had long been used to him talking nonsense from time to time, and he couldn't understand anyway, so he turned a deaf ear to it, and stuffed the few green fruits he had picked so easily into Bai Tan's arms, and then squatted down without saying a word, holding The stinky feet wearing white sandalwood can't stop looking at them.

Bai Tan's feet were so swollen that he couldn't wear shoes at all, and he felt sorry for Bai Zang who walked back and forth between the mountains and forests all day long. Scratched by stones and thorns, thinking of making the best use of everything, he took off a pair of shoes to Baizang.

Fortunately, Bai Tan was a few years older than Bai Zang, and Bai Zang was not yet fully developed, and his feet were about the same size as Bai Tan, so he could barely fit it in.

Bai Zang used one palm to support Bai Tan's two feet, but he saw that one of them was fair and lustrous, with well-proportioned flesh and bones, while the other one was unbearable to look at, it was covered with blue and purple bruises.

For the unknown world outside, Baizang was instinctively afraid. For so many years, he has been buried in the cave, acting like a turtle, deceiving himself and others about how terrible and cruel the outside world is, as if this can eradicate the deepest part of his heart. , that trace of hope that seems to be there, and I don’t know where it comes from.

Yes, even if he is ignorant and ignorant like Bai Zang, he doesn't understand what loneliness is, what is social need, he gritted his teeth and endured it, and didn't want to give in to those "kinds" at the foot of the mountain, but as a social animal, he will still inadvertently, long for Get a companion, even if he doesn't want to admit it at all.

However, the too painful lessons in the past made Baizang shrink back repeatedly.

It is precisely because of this contradictory and complicated psychology that Bai Zang hides his own strength and intentionally slows down his learning progress, thinking that he can hide every day he can, which makes Bai Zang think that his ability to accept and intelligence is not satisfactory.

However, now, when Bai Zang faced Bai Tan's terrifying left foot, he suddenly felt a burst of embarrassment and regret. The earlier he mastered that knowledge, the earlier he got in touch with the "similar" outside. This person has always called himself "brother", Will it stop hurting?

Bai Zang clenched his fist, if that was the case, he was willing to give it a try.

Although the two of them had been planning for this "adventure" for a long time, Bai Tan still felt that the preparations were not adequate when the matter came to an end. In the end, Bai Zang didn't say anything, but Bai Tan regretted it, and took Bai Zang's hand and said: "Forget it, You have never been out before, you don't understand the rules of human society, if you make a mistake somewhere, you don't even have the ability to justify yourself, that would be terrible..."

Bai Zang held Bai Tan with his backhand and shook his head at him. He vaguely realized that Bai Tan's injury could not be delayed any longer.

In order to dress up Baizang as decently as possible, Baitan gave him the clothes on his body, and put on a half-new gray cloth gown, and carefully looked at the brand-new Baizang from head to toe a few times. Over and over, picking and picking, I really don't know what to say.

He handed a piece of paper to Bai Zang, reluctantly said: "When you go there, you must be careful. If you get nervous and forget how to open your mouth, show the words on it to others. It is the countryside these days. There are not many people who can read, remember to try a few more." Nagging and exhorting for a long time.

Baizang did not show any signs of impatience, and listened obediently, nodding every minute or so.After Bai Tan got enough sun, Bai Zang silently carried him back to the cave, pointed to the fruit in Bai Tan's arms, and whispered: "Eat."

Bai Tan was moved: "Understood."

Bai Zang walked out in big strides, and at the end, he turned his head and looked at Bai Tan, as if to signal him to rest assured, and blocked the entrance of the cave with big stones as usual, in case ferocious beasts came sniffing and looking for food when he was not at home. .

It took Baizang more than half a day to go there. He traveled quickly, but the mountain road was rugged and difficult, and he had to climb several low cliffs with the help of rattan, and it took a lot of effort to go back and forth.

That's why Bai Zang refused to go out with Bai Tan on his back.In the steep terrain, Bai Zang can easily pass the level alone, but it is not very convenient if he brings another person.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the more Bai Tan waited, the more anxious he became. Based on the changes in the light in the cave, he roughly estimated the skylight, struggled to sit up countless times, and finally fell down again, whispering: "I'm too impatient, I should If you wait a few more days, your feet will be destroyed as soon as you lose them, which is better than losing your life..."

Bai Tan turned upside down, complaining several times.

The afterglow of the sun gradually disappeared below the horizon, and the inside of the cave was dark, like thick ink that could not be melted away. After more than two hours, the moon slowly climbed to the top of the tree, and there were strands of clear light, which had never been sealed. A corner of the hole poured in.

Bai Tan has been terrified by all kinds of terrible conjectures in his mind, the expression on his face, from full of expectation at the beginning, slowly transitions to self-blame and frustration, and then to ashes, and he said desperately: "Forget it!" , Resign yourself to fate, if he doesn't come back, I'll just starve to death here..."

At this moment, faint footsteps suddenly came from outside, Bai Tan thought that he had an auditory hallucination again, turned his head indifferently, and stared fixedly at the void.

The boulder moved with a click, a distance of half a meter, and a black figure flashed in, and rushed to Bai Tan's side.

Bai Tan stared blankly at his ears, and quickly pushed away the flashlight with only a little battery remaining, and the dim yellow light shone through, looking carefully, who else could it be if it wasn't Bai Zang?

It's just that Baizang's situation at this moment seems to be not very good. Not to mention the tattered clothes, shoes and socks on his body, there are many bloodstains on his hands and feet, and his hair has returned to a messy state again.

Bai Tan asked again and again: "Bai Zang, did someone hit you? Did those people do something? I knew it..."

Unexpectedly, Bai Zang was in good spirits at the moment, with a pair of big and long eyes bright and energetic, the folds of the double eyelids were deeply folded together, leaving traces like a long knife, which was unforgettable.

He shook his head at Bai Tan, excitedly brought over a dirty snakeskin bag, and opened it for Bai Tan to see. Inside was a bag of salt, a small bag of coarse grains, a small tube of detumescence medicine, and other items such as oil bottles, rotten Items such as bowls, torn clothes.

Bai Tan was startled: "Where did these things come from?"

Bai Zang was not in a hurry to answer, but stretched out his tightly curled fists, with a coin of the smallest denomination spread out in the palm of his hand, presumably it was change after shopping.

Bai Tan didn't have much money with him, and he lost some of it on the way, so when he asked Bai Zang to go out to buy supplies, he already gave him all his money.

Baizang went out for a trip, and he somehow understood the importance of money. He didn't know how to distinguish the value, so he loved this coin like a treasure, thinking that he could exchange it for what he wanted.

He handed the coin to Bai Tan, but Bai Tan didn't take it, and said softly: "This is for you, it's a reward, okay?"

Bai Zang was really happy, and hid it in a corner of the cave as a treasure.

According to the coins given by Baitan, one can just buy a bag of salt, a small bag of coarse grains, and a tube of anti-swelling medicine. As for other things, according to Baitan's guess, they should be picked up by Baizang. waste.

Bai Tan felt sorry for Bai Zang's hard work, and couldn't bear to discourage his enthusiasm, so he kept all the things in the snakeskin pockets, picked and picked them the next day, cleaned them a few times, and some of them were still usable.

Most of the nearby villagers are simple and kind, honest and responsible, and they really have no bad intentions. When Bai Zangchu went down the mountain before, if we carefully distinguish, there is right and wrong on both sides.

At that time the weather was still cold, Baizang was wrapped in gray animal skins, his hair was hanging down in front of his face, completely covering his outstanding facial features, he landed on all fours and rushed forward.

The villagers thought that they had encountered a man-eating beast, so they naturally rose up to resist.

During this trip, Bai Zang tidied up very cleanly, and his visual perception was completely different. In addition, although his walking posture was weird and he didn't talk much, he was extraordinarily handsome and pleasing to the eye.

It is rare for the villagers to meet a new face, and some people approached him enthusiastically. Seeing him repeatedly uttering the words "buy salt, buy grain, and swelling medicine", they thought he was not clear-headed, and felt sorry for him even more up.

The smallness of the village is such an advantage. If there is something to shout, the whole village can hear it. Immediately, someone who runs a small shop at home brings salt, coarse grains, and anti-swelling medicine.

On the whole, Bai Zang's trip this time was a complete success. As for the fact that he didn't call anyone to rescue him from the mountain, this was within Bai Tan's expectations. He accepted it very calmly, and was just helping Bai Zang to wash his clothes. At that time, I found that the note full of words was lost, so I asked him a question.

Bai Zang's eyes were dazed, and he probably lost it accidentally when he didn't notice it.

It was not a big deal after all, Bai Tan quickly forgot about it.
