Whoever wins the crouching dragon wins the world

Since ancient times, celebrities have liked to live in an elegant place.

The Wolong post where Kong Ming lived in seclusion is located in Deng County, Nanyang County. There is an ancient poem in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which says: "Twenty miles west of Nanyang City, there is a high hill resting on flowing water: the high hill bends and presses the roots of the clouds, and the flowing water murmurs and flies. Stone marrow; the potential is like a trapped dragon and the stone is coiled up, shaped like a single phoenix in the shade of a pine; the chai gate is half-closed, and some tall people can't get up. The bamboo is intertwined with a green screen, and the fence is surrounded by wild flowers in four seasons; the bedside is piled up. There are yellow scrolls, there are no white people on the seat; when you knock on the door, you offer fruit, and the gatekeeper crane listens to the scriptures at night; in the bag, there are famous zithers and ancient brocades, and the sword hangs seven stars on the wall."

It seems to be a good place surrounded by mountains and rivers. I have longed for it countless times. Only when I really went deep into it did I realize how "higher than life" in literary creation.

It is said here that "apes and cranes are on a blind date, and pines and bamboos are green"?The fact is that apes and cranes are rare to see, but leopards often appear and disappear, and every time it scares me, I sweat profusely.

The first time I met it was on the way up the mountain to pick wild vegetables. A leopard suddenly poked its head out of the thick leaves in the forest, as if it was deliberately trying to scare me. He raised his noble head, flicked his tail and walked away.

The second time, I was doing laundry by the river, and there was an adult male leopard drawing water on the opposite bank. From a distance of tens of meters, I could clearly see its sharp fangs, streamlined muscles, and the eyes shooting out of its half-closed pupils. sharp finish.

Today is the third time.

Kong Ming taught me the technique of "stargazing at night" openly in the forest. When he was talking about Ziwei Xingdongsheng, which means that auspicious stars are shining brightly, a small gray and white wild cat jumped out of the weeds, jumping around happily and cutely. , Actually catching a beautiful butterfly.

I was so teased by it that I became so playful that I didn't have the time to mind the stars' business. I just wanted to chase after him. I'm short of a lively cat and mouse at home!

Kong Ming grabbed me and asked, "The mantis catches the cicada, what's the next sentence?"

Why do you ask this?

"The oriole is behind?" I was puzzled, but seeing Kong Ming looking in the direction he was pointing with a solemn face, I was suddenly startled—I couldn't distinguish clearly, but there were two small holes in the darkness emitting green faint lights. The light, eerie texture is creepy.

My voice trembled: "Yes, what is it?"

"Leopard."

My heart shivered, my expression terrified.At hand, we don't even have a wooden stick that can hit people!

"The position of the leopard's eyes is about an adult male leopard." Kong Ming was so calm and incredible, I really doubt that he would never panic.

Perhaps my fear was too exposed, Kongming said strangely: "There is a tomb valley in the north. The neighbors rumored that it was a cave where evil spirits murdered, and they all avoided it. That day, I held ink and tricked you to go with Fengcha, and I met you in the cave. The bats attacked, and the two of them fell to the ground in shock, but you took it lightly. I thought you were not afraid of death, but I never thought that you would be so afraid today, what is the reason?"

I take a deep breath.The ancients were ignorant, just relying on the rumors of "like weeping" in the valley, they imagined stories about gods and ghosts who have a headless soul sucking human blood and eating people's hearts for a hundred years. How can I, a modern atheist, be so ignorant like them?

It's a pity that there is no way to explain the reason, so I had to borrow a famous Internet quote to make nonsense: "My mountain collapsed before me and I didn't have time to change my color."

Kong Ming was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his face remained unchanged? It's hard for you to think of such a good sentence!"

While speaking, the leopard had jumped in front of us, as tall as a person, with oval spots all over its body, its coat was shiny, and its sharp claws left two-inch-long scratches on the soft soil.

The muscles on its front legs were strong and powerful, and it opened its mouth to make a menacing sound. The sharp fangs were exposed, and at the same time, it sprayed an unpleasant breath on my face.

It stinks I want to throw up.

But my limbs were stiff with fear, and it was only three meters away from me. I had never faced death so close.

Life is hanging on the line.

I want to hold Kong Ming's hand and draw his body temperature from the intersection of my fingers.

However, in the end, he still didn't dare to take that step.

"Sir, what can you do?" I think I know Kong Ming well. He never fights unprepared. Since he can play tricks on me so easily, he must have a countermeasure.

But he didn't understand my nervousness. Instead, he said without hesitation: "Didn't you always call me a scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken? What can I do? You retreat from the leopard to save lives!"

Damn it!I gritted my teeth in hatred.

Although he was struggling due to the early death of his parents, he was actually a young man with ten fingers not touching the spring water. Not to mention carrying water and cooking, he even threw his underwear to me to wash without hesitation, thanks to the kindness of a big man!A few days ago, I said a few words quickly, and he kept it in his heart. Today, I finally got the chance to sharpen me, and I will report my flaws!

The word "contempt" was clearly written on my face.

Seeing that I was showing signs of anger, Kongming laughed and said, "Forget it, since you don't want to, let me discuss it with Mr. Bao!"

I was curious to see how he "discussed" the law. I saw that he walked up to the leopard generously, and made a bow as if he were talking to an ordinary human, muttering: "Mr. Leopard, Mr. Leopard, Nanshuang's figure Shriveled, Kong Ming's body is lean and fleshless, neither of them are good ingredients, so don't waste your time, go find something else to eat!"

The end is serious.

I turned pale with fright, isn't he afraid that the leopard will pounce on him and swallow him whole?

Who knew that this trick was really effective, seeing those sharp leopard eyes narrowed, turned his head, and retreated back along the way he came from!

Kong Ming spread his hands and looked back at me with lingering fear: "Fortunately, fortunately! This leopard doesn't like us, so go away."

stunned.I even forgot to pursue the description of my "shrunken figure".

"You, you, you, how the hell did you do it?" This is too dramatic.

Kong Ming smiled inscrutablely, and deliberately pretended to be closed and refused to tell me.Later, I was really annoyed by being entangled, so I said that if I wanted to know, I would exchange it for a sachet embroidered by myself.Pity me, a modern person who can't even nail buttons. I was forced to prick my fingers into a hornet's nest by embroidery needles before I managed to finish one. I handed it to him with a blushing face.

The sachet was the most common token of love in ancient times!I can't help but yy, try not to think that it is also the most practical storage bag in ancient times, in addition to spices, five baht money, seeds, melon seeds... you can stuff any small bits and pieces into it, and village women often use their own embroidery bags The sachet is exchanged with the single farmer for vegetables and fruits.

Kong Ming stared at the pattern on the sachet for a while, then asked me humbly: "What are you embroidering?"

"Uh, it's not something that exists in reality, that is, it's an imaginary, relatively abstract thing..." My face turned redder.

Kong Ming couldn't understand the word "abstract" for a while, and when I faltered and fumbled to explain it, he suddenly realized it, and his face was joking.

In fact, I originally wanted to embroider a mandarin duck playing in the water, so that I could confirm the name of the token of love.It's a pity that it is too difficult. Considering my embroidery level, I had to settle for the next best thing to embroider Bing Tilian.But it is not easy to embroider lotus. After a whole month of hard work, I still embroidered in a nondescript manner. I am really embarrassed to say that it is a Bingdi lotus.

Fortunately, Kong Ming didn't dislike it, he kindly received it in his arms, and then took out a white paper bag and gave it to me: "The smell of this medicine powder can make all beasts retreat, and I relied on it to 'persuade' the hungry leopard last month."

"Why didn't I smell anything?" Putting the powder under my nose, I was dubious, "Didn't you lie to me?"

"A leopard's sense of smell is much more sensitive than that of a human being. Only animals can smell the smell of this medicinal powder." Kong Ming looked at me with a half-smile: "Are you an animal?"

……

I find that he has become more and more immoral recently.
