[Comprehensive] The leader's knot occurs in this life

The instant splash of water submerged me, and the bitingly cold river water covered my head. I couldn’t control my limbs during the fall. I was submerged in the water for a long time. My eyes, nose, ears and mouth always felt that everything that could enter the water was flooded. full.It wasn't until the sinking momentum slowed down that I instinctively paddled my hands and feet and floated up.

The moment he surfaced, he was choked again, and he tasted the fishy smell of water in his mouth.

There are mountains on both sides, thousands of peaks are emerald green, the river rushes over violently, hits the rocks, breaks up, and is forced to rush forward along the winding direction of the mountains.The current is too fast, I tried many times, but I couldn't reach the shore after all.On the way, he hugged a piece of wood that was rotten by water, and went down the river in a daze.

I don’t know how long I’ve been drifting, but the night is like a black veil covering me. I’ve been looking around tirelessly, and the worries in my heart have become stronger as the sky gets darker.

After soaking in the water for a long time, the skin all over his body turned white and wrinkled, like an old man in his seventies.Dusk flickered on the water, and the eyes suddenly opened up, and the water flow slowed down. After a while, two fishing boats could be seen swinging on the sparkling water, and a melodious and beautiful fisherman's song floated between the oars. .

He raised his voice and shouted, and was finally rescued.

There were two grandparents and grandchildren on the fishing boat, and the little grandson was as black as a monkey, bare-chested and wearing only a pair of blue trousers, squatting on the bow of the boat, looking at me lying there half dead and a group of fish flopping about in the net .

Both the grandparent and the grandson spoke with strong local accents. The little grandson babbled at me, but I didn’t understand a word. Then he turned his head and said something to the old fisherman. head, and slowly lead the fishing boat into a narrow river.Both sides of the river are weeping willows of the same color. The little grandson sat on the bow and sang again, with a clear and clear voice. In his singing, the fishing boat was quickly hidden among the willow banks and Liaozhu.

The willow branches are immersed in the water, and the water waves sway in their sleep. Against the faint moonlight, it looks like a woman's blue skirt.The scenery is beautiful, but I can't see it in my heart. I stare at a place in a daze with divergent eyes until my eyes catch a piece of red.

The body moved faster than the brain, and the whole person rushed over. The fishing boat was almost capsized by me. The little grandson was singing to the highest point, and was almost choked to death by his own saliva. The old fisherman hurriedly dropped the oar and came to grab my My legs, because half of my body is already in the air, and if he doesn't pull me, I have to drown again.

His hand reached the rag hanging from the willow branch, and it was stained with blood.

The old fisherman pulled me back, and the little grandson scolded me for a while. I saw that the piece of cloth didn't move, and I couldn't make a sound.I comforted myself that it was Xiang Wentian's blood splashed on Dongfang's body.He must be fine, he is such a powerful person, who can hurt him?In fact, I didn't expect Xiang Wentian's sneak attack to be successful. I always thought that no one could win him. I thought so in my previous life, but he was still dead in my previous life.

But this piece of cloth is here, and the East may also be here, but where is this place?

At the end of the river, there are thousands of lights.

It seems that he has strayed into a small village somewhere, but he doesn't know if he is still within the jurisdiction of Hengshan City. Hearing the accent of his little grandson, it seems that he doesn't look like a native of Hengshan, and he may have left Hengshan City.

My grandparents and grandchildren have a big family, and they are all very simple, but I am like a duck that has strayed into a flock of chickens. No matter what they tell me, they will talk to each other. Finally, by gestures, I know they want me to take a bath , put on dry clothes.After I came out, they had already cleaned up my place to live, and there was a bowl of hot, hard-faced pasta. The outside of the pasta was hard and crisp, but when you broke it apart, there was soft and sweet bean paste inside. After one bite, my heart trembled. , I couldn't help but think, this is what Dongfang would like.

I asked them if there was a man in red, and they all looked at me with blank eyes, obviously not understanding what I was talking about.Later, the little grandson was smart, so he invited the only literate doctor in the village. The doctor was an old man with a white beard. His smiling face and his eyes seem to be kind, but they hide a sharp insight into everything.

I could tell at a glance that he was a trainer.

He walked over with his hands behind his back, glanced at me, dipped his hands into the tea in the cup, and wrote only four words.

"The East is undefeated."

Without stopping for a moment, he followed him away from the old fisherman's house.

After walking halfway, the skinny old man suddenly asked, "Ping Yizhi is still in the Sun Moon God Sect?"

What he said surprised me, because he spoke authentic official language, and the words were correct. I thought about it and said: "His rule of killing one person and healing the other is in place, and the righteous way will not tolerate him."

The skinny old man shook his head and stopped talking.

I couldn't let it go, he and Ping Yizhi seemed to be about the same age, but he showed a lot of vicissitudes of life, so I carefully asked, "Is Ping Yizhi your old man?"

At that time, I happened to walk to the door of his house. The house he lived in was no different from the house in the countryside, except that it was facing the river, and a lotus was planted. In front of the door, there were persimmon trees with golden branches and heavy branches when the autumn wind blows. Surrounded by a fence of light blue morning glory, it has a special flavor.

An old yellow dog was tied to the persimmon tree. When the owner came back, he stood up and wagged his tail vigorously.

When he heard me ask, he stopped at the door, looked at his huts hidden deep in the mountains, and said after a long time, "It's the enemy." He bent down to pet the yellow dog's head, and repeated unconsciously. Again: "Yes, it's an enemy."

Although he said he was an enemy, there was nothing in his tone except a little bit of sadness and loneliness.

I wanted to ask again, but the skinny old man walked forward, put his hands on the door, pulled down the latch and said, "The person you are looking for is inside, and he came here just like you, but he didn't Lucky you, you didn't get caught in a willow tree root until Willowwood Creek, where I was fishing, and he scared my fish away..."

The sound stopped before landing.

The furnishings in the room are so simple that it looks empty, but there is no one there, only the slightly messy bedding shows that someone has stayed here before.The skinny old man was only slightly startled, and then regained his composure.

"He went looking for that thing," said the old man.

I hurriedly asked: "What are you looking for? He still has injuries on his body, why is he still running around?"

"A wooden box." The old man said, "That little internal injury is not a hindrance to a person with such deep internal strength, and he has survived the medicine. What you should worry about is the martial arts he practiced. It's too insidious. This backlash is not serious, but if he continues to practice, he will suffer more..."

"Backlash?" I was stunned, "Has his skill backfired?"

The old man looked at me puzzled: "You don't know? Oh, it must have happened suddenly. When I took his pulse, I felt that his meridians were a little stagnant. This time, his skill has definitely increased greatly, looking at the world, I am afraid that Feng Qingyang from the Huashan School can fight him, but he can't win."

In his previous life, he would be able to practice the last level of "Sunflower Canon" in a few months, and the backlash became more and more frequent.In this life, he left the customs early, and so many things happened, I forgot for a moment that his martial arts was close to a master, and the accompanying danger was quietly brewing.I finally understood why he couldn't dodge Xiang Wentian's last palm today, why his movement was a little slower when he dodged at the last moment, but it was this moment that Xiang Wentian could take advantage of.

I closed my eyes and bowed deeply like an old man: "Senior must also be a member of the Sun Moon God Sect, thank you for your generous rescue this time, the kindness of saving lives is unforgettable, dare to ask senior's name, good day Reciprocate with springs."

"I do have a relationship with the Sun Moon God Sect, but I'm not a member of the God Sect. This time I'm just a doctor, so I can't afford it." The old man said flatly, "I've been hiding from the world for many years, and now I'm just a barefoot doctor. Everyone calls me Mr. Medicine, I won’t ask your name, and you shouldn’t ask anything else, I have no intention of entering the rivers and lakes again.”

Naturally I didn't dare to ask, this Mr. Yao can speak so clearly just by taking the pulse, and his words are quite flat, as if in the previous life even a flat finger was helpless and it turned into a minor ailment in front of him.I couldn't help but feel drawn to him in my heart, but this feeling was quickly suppressed by me temporarily. The most important thing right now is to find Dongfang.

"Mr. Yao." I bowed to the old man again, "I just heard you say where you are going to the east, please tell me."

"It should have gone to Liudi, which is the waterway you came from. When I pulled him ashore, he was holding a wooden box in his hand, but when I rescued others, the box fell into the water. He I woke up once before, and I didn’t care about anything, just looking for that box, and almost tore down my house.” Mr. Yao shook his head, quite helplessly, “After I told him where the box was left, he calmed down. , I thought he wouldn’t do anything else, so I went out to see the villagers, and then I was dragged to your place, but I didn’t expect him to disappear after a while.”

I run away.

"It's late at night and the road is dark." Mr. Yao quickly stuffed a lantern into my hand with quick eyesight.

Before I had time to thank him, I hurriedly nodded to him and ran wildly.

The village became very quiet at night, only the sound of the watchman knocking on his clapper and my heavy footsteps on the road.

Lanterns hanging on long bamboo poles light up the wet and slippery bluestone road slightly.

Following my memory, I found the narrow river full of weeping willows. I stopped in front of the embankment panting, and put the lamp on the ground. There was no one around. Passing slowly, quietly, there are slight waves, but I don't know where the person is.

"Master! Dongfang!" I shouted as I ran along the embankment like a lunatic, "The Dongfang is undefeated!"

There was a sound of splashing water from a distance, and something jumped out of the water.

Dongfang came out of the water, his black hair sticking wetly to his pale face, his eyes lit up the moment he saw me.I took off my long shirt and jumped into the water to pick him up.I didn't look at him or speak, just pursed my lips tightly, took off his wet clothes, and wrapped him in my own clothes.

Dongfang's body trembled uncontrollably, and even shrank into a ball unconsciously. I knew this was the reason for backlash, and it was also the reason why he had been soaking in cold water for a long, long time in this situation. I could touch his fingertips. His belly was wrinkled from the soaking, and now, even his lips are white, and his whole body has no temperature at all, just like a piece of ice.

I hugged him tightly, but there was something hard on my chest.

"Yang Lianting..."

Dongfang's voice was trembling because of the cold, but his expression was happy. He looked up at me, showed a pale smile, and showed me the sandalwood box that he was guarding tightly in his arms: "Look ,I found it!"

I looked at him, feeling as if I had been stabbed in the heart, and a fire that came out of nowhere made me grab the box and throw it aside.Dongfang became anxious, immediately pushed me away, and quickly reached out to grab the box containing the antidote of the Three Corpse Brain God Pill.

"You don't want your life!" I grabbed his arm and said angrily, "For a few pills, you don't even want your life!"

Dongfang bowed his head and was silent for a while, then he still threw me away, went barefoot, picked up the box step by step, wiped it off with his sleeve, and said in a low voice, "This is not a pill, it's your life."

"Yes, how much is in it? How much is left that hasn't been hydrated? Can I live on this medicine for a few more years?" I clenched my fists and couldn't help raising my voice, "If you're not here, even if I What's the use of living to a thousand and ten thousand years old!"

Dongfang turned around, and slowly walked back towards me in the flickering lights blown by the wind.

"So you would say the same thing," he rested his head lightly on my shoulder, "me too."

His voice was very soft, as if it could be blown away by the wind at any time, but I heard it clearly, every word he said hit my heart like a stone, I couldn't restrain the emotion, I raised my head deeply Taking a breath, forcing back the moisture in my eyes, I said, "Dongfang, I'm sorry for you."

He closed his eyes and shook his head.

"Yang Lianting, you said we are a family."

I am speechless.I pulled his hand hard, turned around and squatted down, letting his hand rest on my shoulder.Dongfang was silent for a while behind my back, and the other hand holding the box followed me around my neck, lying on my back.

With a lantern in my hand, I could only support him with one hand, and walked slowly towards Mr. Yao's thatched hut.

The lights flickered, and the shadows of the two of us fused together also flickered, dragging behind us for a long time, and the road was silent.

Although Dongfang is thin, he is not light. His legs are hooked around my waist spontaneously, and all his weight is on my back, which is heavy.
