Snake Tale

The first thing to lose is the sense of smell.

What Luo Yisuo didn't know was that Shen Yuzhu, who was easygoing with the situation, originally had a more compassionate heart than many people.He was born in the mountains, and most of the people he interacted with were enlightened and understanding people. He didn't need to worry about everything, and he developed a peaceful and smooth temperament, following his heart's desires. He never knew that once he fell into the mud, he needed to grit his teeth and endure.When he was suddenly reduced to a slave, he couldn't even endure the foul smell in the stable for a long time.The stench seemed to seep into his skin, into his bones and lungs, no matter how he washed, as long as he sat alone in the living room, the smell of manure, the smell of sewage, and the damp mold of grass and valleys would be like Snakes, insects, rats and ants swarmed over him, forcing him to overwhelm him, making him unable to eat or sleep peacefully, almost on the verge of collapse and madness.Until later, he happened to think of the vague and obscure records in ancient books, and used the "perfect man"* who "burns the great lake but not to be hot, and the river to be cold but not to be cold" to strengthen himself-if he can really "I lose myself, and all things are unified", Sit down and forget the distinction between "things" and "I", and passivate the five senses. Wouldn't it be possible to deal with the dirty work and the painful labor with equanimity?

So he tried to prescribe medicine to himself, and he also practiced breath adjustment and breathing——I don’t know if this set of self-deceiving practices really worked, or he had already practiced the ability to live in the abalone for a long time without smelling the smell, and gradually On the ground, those stench were no longer tormenting him; later on, his tongue could not distinguish roughness and mellowness, and he could also feast on the bracken and chaff that cows and horses ate; finally, his limbs and skin were sensitive to pain. He also became very dull——Don't say that the hard labor that ordinary people are overwhelmed by, even Luo Yi's torture like a hatchet between his beds, the pain inflicted on him has become very indifferent.Also because of this peace of mind, he was so numb to revenge and shame, he felt that it was nothing to do.If it wasn't for a confidential letter written by a friend from the same school a few days ago, asking him to do a big event, maybe Shen Yuzhu would really be content to be a stable boy in a daze.

This battle is just the expected number of victories.However, seeing Luo Yi, who is flamboyant and mighty on weekdays, suffering in front of him, still adds a bit of interest to Shen Yuzhu's boring heart.He pointed to the bowl of wine and said with a smile: "Who said this is poisonous wine? It's just a medicine I specially prepared to restore the senses. Although it didn't work, I dare not be particular about it. Please Master Luo to taste it too. "

Luo Yi was carrying the suddenly abnormally heavy shackles with great difficulty, watching his own sweat beaded into the dust one by one, gnashing his teeth and cursing: "Shen Yuzhu! If you are really suffering from such a terminal illness, why don't you take this great opportunity to get rid of it as soon as possible?" Ascend to the immortal, hurry up and die?" Before he finished speaking, he finally couldn't bear the force, his arm suddenly lost strength, and he hit the ground with a "bang" head-on, staring at his eyes and buzzing in his head.

Shen Yuzhu couldn't help laughing, and said, "Master Luo, who is strong enough to resist a cauldron and can slay a dragon, why can't he even bear the shackles of three hundred catties? Oh, since my medicine can sharpen people's perception, it can Ye Zhanshen, maybe it’s no different from that Mount Tai? Lord Luo, is that why you are so tender and frail now that you are not as good as a baby?”

Luo Yi was horrified when he heard the words, but the severe pain on his forehead made him dare not believe it.He has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has suffered countless injuries, big and small, and broken bones. He has long been used to it. How often does he feel so painful that he has a splitting headache and can't speak even if he knocks on the ground lightly?

But the more he believed, the more he couldn't show any timidity. He turned his face and sneered at Shen Yuzhu: "What kind of hysteria are you suffering from? This soup has no effect on me at all. You are not good at learning, don't be ashamed here Now that you've seen it, go back to the mountain and ask your master to teach you a few more tricks!"

Shen Yuzhu squatted down with a smile, bent his fingers and flicked the bruise on Luo Yi's forehead lightly - it was only such a delicate force, but Luo Yi seemed to be hammered and chiseled by the hammer, and there was a buzzing sound in his ears. , drums, bells, and cymbals are played in disorder, and the ringing can't stop.Luo Yi clenched his teeth tightly and tried to act nonchalantly, but Shen Yuzhu raised his forehead hair with one hand and said with a smile, "Master Luo, your pupils have grown bigger, you can't deceive anyone!"

He stretched out his hand to push him back, Luo Yi immediately fell on his back involuntarily, like that beetle that couldn't stand up, his state of distress and embarrassment was something Shen Yuzhu had never seen in his life.

Shen Yuzhu was overjoyed, sat straddling him, and said with a smile: "Back then, my lord taught me what is meant by a 'great shame', and Shen Yuzhu would like to be taught. I have nothing to teach my lord, so I have to 'whatever comes from you, what goes against you', and put What Lord Luo bestowed on me, I just repay you as it is."

He had already made up his mind to humiliate Luo Yi before Zheng Suba came back, so that the Zheng and Luo clans would completely eliminate the possibility of reconciliation.Then he took out a medicine box and said: "In the past three years, Lord Luo rewarded me with 110 seven red pills, now I will mix them into one and return them to Lord Luo together."

He opened the wooden box, and the blood-red pills exuded a pungent aroma.

Luo Yi squinted his eyes and looked at the red pill, which was the size of a chicken egg. If it wasn't for the embarrassment of the situation, he really couldn't help laughing: "So you wanted to choke me to death."

"..." Shen Yuzhu felt aggrieved: "It is not easy to condense more than 100 pills into such a size..." He stretched out his thumb and two middle fingers to pinch his mandible, and comforted him : "Lord Luo will just let it go, okay?"

Before Luo Yi could react, there was a crisp "click", Luo Yi's temporal bone felt a sharp pain, and the whole mandible had been removed by Shen Yuzhu.

Luo Yi was in a cold sweat from the pain, and before he could struggle, he felt the pill being pressed into his throat by Shen Yuzhu.

He was choking for breath, his face turned blue, and finally waited for Shen Yuzhu to reach out to help him connect his jaw, then he swallowed the pill whole, and then coughed violently, whirling around, as if his internal organs were all shattered The pieces were torn apart—however, what was more obvious than the pain was the scorching hot air rising from the dantian, quickly moving among the limbs and bones, and within a short while, the whole body was already hot. His heart was beating like a drum, and his limbs became weaker and weaker.

Luo Yi's heart sank like an ice cellar, knowing that the red pill had begun to work.

Shen Yuzhu looked at him coldly with a smile in his eyes, he removed the shackles that hindered his hands and feet, tied Luo Yi's hands with hair bands, clung to his ear and smiled, "Lord Luo, is this taste--does it work? "

Luo is prone to hot and dry, confused and numb, forced himself to sneer and said: "Huh, this man and woman who eat and drink have great desires, and there is nothing to be happy about. Ha! I almost forgot, you are like a dead wood now, and you have already missed it." Use it, I’m afraid I’ll never experience such a happy feeling in my whole life! Poor, poor!” He wasn’t originally a person who was deeply interested in sexual affairs, but he was suppressed all the time, became angry from embarrassment, became dizzy, and then He became more and more gibberish.

Shen Yuzhu was neither in a hurry nor annoyed, and said slowly: "Master Luo, why do you provoke me? I'm really useless, there are still a hundred or so fierce men here, and a dozen stupid and fierce ones. Mastiff—don't you want to be happier?"

Luo Yi was startled, and thought to himself: "Shen Yuzhu always behaved in a gentle and elegant manner, would he really do such a dirty and dirty thing? No, he is now degraded in senses and mentally disturbed. Is it not unusual for him to do something other than a beast in clothes and a gentle scum? I...why should I talk to him so quickly?" He closed his lips tightly at that moment, and did not say another word.

Shen Yuzhu smiled and said, "Master Luo, why didn't you speak again? It's my first time doing this, so I don't know much, so I need your advice. Hey, Lord Luo, you are flushed and sweating like pulp, but you are so hot. Are you serious?"

He drew a short dagger across Luo Yi's chest slowly, cutting off his armor and clothes inch by inch, and jokingly said: "Lord Luo has snow-skinned appearance, well-proportioned flesh and bones, he looks more capital than me. Make a facial."

Luo Yi turned his face away, just turning a deaf ear to it.Shen Yuzhu drew circles lightly on his chest with a dagger again, and said: "I heard that in ancient times, there was a Xing Tian who had nipples, a navel, and a dancing soldier with his head cut off. My lord's pair of captivating peach blossom eyes!" As he spoke, the tip of the dagger caught off guard and pierced the chest, rolling out a thin bead of blood.

Luo Yi trembled in pain, dripping with sweat, and almost blurred his vision.He resented that he couldn't bear even this slight punishment, and was anxious in his heart, so he blurted out: "Shen Yuzhu! If you have the guts, stick the dagger down five inches!" He took a breath, and sneered again: "Oh, I forgot, you are a seedless one!"

He was barely clothed, and his curly black hair was disheveled on his shoulders. Because of the surge of blood, his pale skin like jade gradually turned brighter, and beads of sweat trickled down the clear muscle contours, wow It made Shen Yuzhu's hands wet.This state of mind is naturally in a state of embarrassment, but it looks more and more like a pair of fierce green pupils that have been gouged out so fiercely that they are very impressive, what a rebellious and unruly horse!Shen Yuzhuxin didn't think it was disobedient, and while removing his fragmentary clothes to his waist, he said with a smile: "It sounds like Lord Luo is very sorry. It seems that even for your sake, I have to get rid of—"

Before the words fell, Shen Yuzhu caught a glimpse of something, suddenly his whole body was shocked, and he jumped up suddenly, and he didn't even notice that the dagger fell to the ground.He opened his eyes wide and looked at Luo Yi's upper body: Between the white and thin waist, at some point, a purple snake-shaped tattoo appeared faintly, shining brightly, with fine scales.

——Under the skin, slowly wandering.

*"The most human beings are gods! The great lake is burning but not hot, the rivers and rivers are cold but not cold, the thunder breaks the mountains, and the wind shakes the sea but not startled. If so, ride the clouds, ride the sun and the moon, and swim beyond the four seas .Death and life are inseparable, and what’s more, the benefits and harms are the same!" From "Zhuangzi·Qiwulun", it means "The perfect man who has attained the Tao is really amazing! Burning the swamp land can't make him feel hot, the Yellow River Hanshui Freezing cannot make him feel cold, neither can lightning splitting mountains or turning rivers topple seas shock him. He rides on the clouds, rides the sun and the moon, and travels beyond the four seas. Life and death have no effect on him, let alone benefits and harms. Trifles?" The theory of equalizing things sounds awesome, but it actually absolutizes the relativity of the two sides of the contradiction. Once you learn it, you will fall into the quagmire of subjective idealism and become a flaccid virtue like sinking bamboo. Be sure to criticize it seriously.
