Chapter 25 Carve the world twenty-one

Carve the world twenty-one (1) Flying geese long for the blue sky, The red deer longs for the hills, The white elephant longs for the dense forest, Butterfly monkeys yearn for flowing springs, The apprentice weighs the master, Children miss their parents. As long as my legs are on me, I will look for my loved ones. ——Yunnan folk songs Li Bang, Li Waizui, and Wang Deafzi built several magnificent private gardens with carved beams and painted buildings for several merchants and wealthy families in the area of ​​Lin'an City.They thus have money and live better.He wears a French straw hat on his head, a suit on his body, and American slippers on his feet. He eats biscuits and drinks milk and coffee.Li Waizui and Wang Deafzi still bought fields and land in Lin'an City, built houses and houses, married wives, and settled down.They don't want to go back to Xizong County.

Li Bang has never married a wife, nor has he purchased any property.When he was doing nothing, he stared blankly at the knives and chisels that Gao Shimei had given him in the past, and suddenly felt a refreshing coolness in his heart.All of that has a kind of summoning meaning to him, reminding him of those wonderful past events a long time ago, and thinking of his master Gao Shimei.For more than 20 years, the master and apprentice lost contact and there was no news at all.But those past events became clearer day by day, stopping in his heart again and again, touching his heartstrings.He felt a kind and sweet pain, and he returned to Master Gao's side again and again in his dreams, and returned to the bright Xinlin Village again and again.When he missed his master, he kept telling others the story of their master and apprentice.Li Waizui and Wang Deafzi have completely lost their due enthusiasm for those stories because they listened to them too many times, and their faces often show a sick look because they live a comfortable life.As soon as Li Bang saw their appearance, he taught them inexplicably and got angry with them.Afterwards, they became inexplicably jealous of them.Li Bang was very lonely, he didn't know what he was looking forward to, and he didn't deliberately fantasize about anything, he just looked forward, looking forward, and always felt that something should happen as scheduled but didn't happen.This mysterious and disturbing vague feeling haunted his every day.

The days still flowed quietly and darkly.Li Bang is much older, and his back is also bent.He realized that he couldn't wait any longer, there was an invisible limit in front of him, and if he crossed that line, his life would be over.On this day, Li Bang could no longer suppress his missing for his master, so he cried a lot.He said to Li Waizui and Wang Deafzi: "You live here well. I can't control you anymore. I'm going to find my master Gao Shimei. No matter what happened to Master Gao, I will find him." Li Wai Zui and Wang Deaf both begged and persuaded him not to leave Lin'an City. Master Gao hadn't heard from him for many years, and he might not be alive anymore.

Li Bang found Shiping County, and someone told him that Gao Shimei had gone to an old city with a little widow.Li Bang held on to this clue tightly, until he found the garden of Zhou's family in an old city.Zhou Mingda said: "We are also looking for Master Gao. He promised to carve another lattice door for my house, but he disappeared afterwards. We searched all the old cities, but we couldn't find him. Alas! A few years ago, he asked us to sell the lattice door to the French. We refused to sell it, but he insisted that we sell it. Master Li, do you know? We regretted it after we sold it. Now we can’t find him anymore .Look at the lobby of my house. It’s so empty. It’s frightening to death.” Li Bang said: “How can master Gao’s lattice carvings be sold immediately? Do you think about how many lattice doors he can carve in his lifetime? ?" Zhou Yao who was standing aside said, "No wonder the French paid such a high price. Our family has been in business for many years, but we have never made so much money." Zhou Mingda was unhappy and stared fiercely. The wife glanced at it.Zhou Yaoshi felt that he had leaked his family's secret, and hurriedly covered his mouth and smiled, "I was wrong, I was wrong. That lattice door was only sold for 50 oceans." Zhou Mingda glared at his wife again, turned and pulled Holding Li Bang's hand, "Master Li, you must find Master Gao for us. We hope that he will come to Gejiu soon. Look, I have Mao Chunshu. I will wait for Master Gao to carve it."

Li Bang searched all over southern Yunnan, and every time he found a place, someone said that Master Gao might be dead.Li Bang didn't believe it, he said: "Master Gao must still be alive, I must find him." Finally, Li Bang found Bai Mozhai.That day, it happened that chieftain Bai Mo came back triumphantly. They had just defeated the French soldiers and were preparing to drink celebration wine. Chieftain Baimo said to Li Bang: "The first cup of celebration wine is dedicated to our most respected and beloved Master Gao Shimei. He is the one who gave us guns and let us win the battle. Let's make a bowl for him. .Master Li, you are his only big apprentice, so you just drank this bowl of bar for Master Gao!"

Carve the world twenty-one (2) Li Bang walked to the stage, took the wine bowl, and drank it down. At night, a huge bonfire was lit in Baimozhai.The red flames licked the black sky, and the villages and woods were covered with a layer of gold.People from all directions rushed here, and everyone sang and danced around the bonfire, showing a kind of excitement after victory.Li Bang clumsily danced with chieftain Baimo for a while, feeling that the singing and dancing here was really earth-shattering and lively.Suddenly, a meteor fell from the sky.At this moment, only Li Bang seemed to see it. He stopped and stared at the sky.He had a bad feeling and always linked the meteor with his master's fate.He said to chieftain Baimo, "I'm looking for my master everywhere. Please tell me, Lord Baimo, where is Master Gao now?"

Chieftain Baimo said: "This yamen is also sending people to look for him everywhere, but unfortunately there is no result." Li Bang was silent for a long time.Chieftain Baimo saw some shadows flash across his face. The next day, Chieftain Baimo asked Li Bang to stay in Baimozhai for a longer period of time and wait patiently. They will definitely try to find Master Gao Shimei. Li Bang said: "It's not that I don't believe you, but my heart doesn't allow me to stop." Li Bang bid farewell to chieftain Baimo.He decided to go to Yisa Town to look for it.Because, Li Bang remembered that Gao Lizhi, the adopted daughter of Master Gao, was forced to sell to Yisa Town decades ago.Did Master Gao go there to look for Gao Lizhi?

Li Bang walked for more than ten days and came to a very strange place called Jixiong.This is a noisy and grotesque village. Caravans from all over the world gather here, so there are horse shops everywhere.However, Li Bang came at an untimely time, just in time for Ma San, the bandit leader of Xizong, to lead his people south to rob, passing by Jixiong.That day, Li Bang had just moved into a horse shop called "Nilangren" when he learned that Jixiong Village was surrounded by bandits.The people in the village panicked and were in a mess.I saw the Zhai Wang hurried to the "Nilangren" horse shop, found the hostess, and said to her: "Grandma Zhao, please save our Jixiong Village! You are from Xizong County, please go and ask Master Ma for help." Let him do his best and let our Jixiong village go!" Only the person called Grandma Zhao said: "Although I am from Xizong, I have no friendship with Ma San. My face? But I'll try it!" After she finished speaking, she ordered her husband to write on the door of her horse shop with a brush: "Sincerely welcome Mr. Xi Zongma to visit" and other big red letters.And asked the king of the village to kill pigs and sheep, and prepare to open the village to welcome them.

After the person called Grandma Zhao left, Li Bang stood at the stairs in confusion and amazement, lost in thought.He thought about the origin of the store name and its internal connection with Grandma Zhao.Somehow, with just one glance, and under the burning torch, he always felt that there were many things he was familiar with in that Grandma Zhao, but he couldn't express them.It's so strange, in this place far, far away from Nilang Town, I actually found and lived in a horse shop owned by Nilang people, and I still have a feeling of déjà vu to the proprietress.What is more attractive to Li Bang is that he never dreamed that the bandits from his hometown would dare to come to such a remote village to rob?After thinking about it, he was gradually immersed in a vaguely intimate atmosphere brought by Grandma Zhao and Ma San. He even rejoiced that he came at the right time, just like watching a wonderful drama, the climax It's still behind!

At night, Grandma Zhao and Ma San negotiated the conditions for entering the village.So, all the men, women and children of the village stood at the gate of the village and lined the road to welcome Ma San into the village.After that, treat Ma San's brothers with wine and meat, and let them get drunk.That night, Ma San was very happy, and said to the old woman who was called Grandma Zhao: "Everyone here calls you Grandma Zhao, which shows that your reputation is not small. To be honest, I don't want to avoid Jixiong Village, you see Seeing that my brothers have worked hard all the way, they should have made a difference. But I didn’t expect to kill Grandma Zhao on the way. Now, for the sake of you and my fellow countrymen, and the fact that the village master treated me well, so I put They made an exception and shortened the time limit for making fortune to a stick of cigarette, and stipulated that only gold and silver from wealthy families should be taken, that they were not allowed to frighten the old and the young, and were not allowed to bully women, and anyone who violated the law would be shot to death." Grandma Zhao and the village king could only nod their heads. Say yes and express your gratitude.

So, as soon as Ma San's whistle sounded, the robbery began.Those gangsters who were drunk on the ground got up one after another and groped towards the dark streets and houses.Li Bang hid in the small upstairs of the "Nilang man" horse shop, which was much safer.He tried his best to calm himself down, but he still couldn't help trembling when he heard the faint screams coming from a distance.He looked through the crack of the door, Grandma Zhao, Ma San and Zhai Wang were surrounding the cigarette stuck in the incense burner on the table, with different expressions.Grandma Zhao is calm, Ma San is triumphant, and Zhai Wang is worried.There is a small red dot on the cigarette butt, and the smoke starts from the little red dot one by one, and floats leisurely into the sky.Looking at the slow-burning cigarette, Li Bang felt that the atmosphere of terror around him was increasing bit by bit.He was afraid that Ma San would suddenly go crazy, so he ordered a search of the "Nilang man" horse shop.In that case, he will not be able to protect himself, and he will be doomed.Now, there's no escape from him unless he's a night bird.Fortunately, the gangsters have been looting far away from the "Nilangren" horse shop, so it seems a bit deserted here.Li Bang's nerves were tense all the time, and he did not dare to relax at all to monitor Ma San's movements to see if there was anything abnormal in him, so that he could act in camera.Ma San has been sitting still, not like a thief with ulterior motives.Li Bang breathed a sigh of relief, he was no longer as nervous as before, but he was still a little confused. Carve the world twenty-one (3) A stick of cigarette finally burned out.Ma San's whistle sounded again.Sure enough, the bandits stopped their robbery and gathered at the gate of the "Nilangren" horse shop.After careful investigation by Ma San, one person was found to have raped a woman.Ma San announced: Execution in public will never show mercy.The man was immediately pulled out of the gate of the village, and his head was beheaded.This robbery can be said to be Ma San's proud work.He saw his brethren come and leave happily. Although it was not a rewarding experience, he also gained a lot.He naturally had an indescribable feeling in his heart. About an hour after the bandits left, when Li Bang was a little tired, another caravan came.Li Bang lay on the bed and looked out the window. He counted silently, no less than 90 big mules and horses.The inside and outside of the horse shop suddenly became lively.Grandma Zhao was busy calling Ma Guotou (the leader of the caravan) to drink, eat, wash her feet, and sleep.Grandma Zhao's husband seemed to be a very strong man. He obeyed Grandma Zhao's command and sold several large bags of fodder and beans to Ma Guotou.Li Bang understood that that was their main income from opening a store, so Grandma Zhao's husband worked hard and earnestly.Li Bang's drowsiness disappeared, so he simply got up and went to the yard, looking for a chance to chat with Grandma Zhao. As soon as Li Bang went downstairs, he ran into Grandma Zhao. "I'm bothering you, master! You can't sleep well." Grandma Zhao said apologetically. Maybe Grandma Zhao's words were too sudden, maybe Li Bang was thinking about something.Facing Grandma Zhao, Li Bang was a little nervous, and he didn't know how to answer.After he called "Grandma Zhao", there was no further text.Moreover, when he called Grandma Zhao, his voice was very weak, and his expression was extremely unnatural, almost obscene and indecent.He shifted his gaze to the door to dispel his embarrassment. "We're about to bolt the door, so don't go out." "I see." Upon hearing this, Grandma Zhao moved the lantern in her hand to Li Bang's side, and fixed her eyes on him, as if he was a dangerous person swimming and she was looking around with the lantern. Li Bang looked at the flickering light, and saw a familiar look again.He was secretly taken aback, who is this Grandma Zhao?He hurried up two flights of stairs, wanting to observe her from a slightly higher position and talk to her.This can not only make up for her humble status and psychology, but also suppress her vague domineering aura.I saw that her hair was combed smoothly, her chest was high, and her body was long.This is how familiar he is!Who is she?He kept asking himself.At this time, Grandma Zhao might feel that Li Bang's behavior was a bit weird, so she turned around and left.Her back still surprised Li Bang a lot, and he had endless aftertaste.Maybe this woman is Zhao Jinhua?Li Bang made a bold guess.He thought, So, our Boss Zhao's daughter and Mrs. Gao's wife ran away here after eloping with that young monk? Li Bang decided to hide himself first, and then investigate.The next day, he said to Grandma Zhao, "I'm sick, and I may have to stay here for several days." Grandma Zhao said, "I'll go and ask the doctor to take a look." "Just show me the way," Li Bang said, "I can still walk. I don't know why, but I just feel a little pain in my stomach. I'm afraid it was when I went to Baizu Mountain to buy horses a few days ago. I ate too many sweet potatoes." "Oh, you know horses? Are you in the horse business?" "I sell horses all the year round." "Why haven't I seen you before?" "This is the first time for me to run this route. I used to go to Keshan, and I didn't take this route." Grandma Zhao said "oh" again, and then went to do her business.Li Bang's heart was pounding, judging from her face shape, accent, and walking posture, she was clearly Zhao Jinhua. However, Li Bang's secret investigation did not go well.Because almost no one in Jixiongzhai knows the history of Grandma Zhao and her husband.The old Langzhong was someone who had seen the world, he told Li Bang that in Jixiong Village, there were not many men who had overtaken the caravan, and Granny Zhao's husband was one of them.But he only rushed twice, each time more than 20 days, and the total time was only 50 days.But the 50-day experience made his wife, Grandma Zhao, feel two strange things: suffering and glory. Carve the world twenty-one (4) Grandma Zhao's husband borrowed some capital and bought some horseshoes, horse nails, kitchen knives, spatulas, vermicelli, ham, shredded tobacco, and pastries, and loaded them on his big mule.Then, hurried to Shiping to join Zhang Shaoen's caravan.Grandma Zhao had heard a long time ago that Zhang Shaoen was a tall, handsome horse pot head, and he was very kind to the guests who helped him.Therefore, she told her husband not to rely on caravans from other places, and to look for Zhang Shaoen the first time he went out. Sure enough, in the Babao River area, I met bandits.Zhang Shaoen was at the forefront.He aimed at the sky and fired a burst of guns.For some reason, maybe the bandits were afraid of Zhang Shaoen, so nothing happened and let them pass. So, Grandma Zhao's husband followed the caravan through Yuanjiang, Mojiang, and Mohei to Simao and Menghai.There, he sold all the goods he brought, and bought some indigo, tea, salt, and medicinal materials, and prepared to sell them back to Jixiong Village.When he got home, Grandma Zhao told him that Pi Weiquan and Shang Pide, who had set out with him the same day, had an accident in Babaohe because they were relying on a caravan from out of town.Pi Weiquan fled to the thorn bushes and was shot to death by the bandits; Shang Pide was robbed and returned wearing only a pair of underwear.The members of the Pi family have been crying bitterly for two days and two nights.During these two days and two nights, Grandma Zhao also cried.She thought, maybe her husband won't come back, and his body won't be seen, so why don't she cry?She also told her husband: During those 22 nights, I did not fall asleep, and my eyelids were always unable to close. This time, Grandma Zhao's husband bought more than a thousand catties of rice with the money he earned.Therefore, their family can live a good life for a year with peace of mind. Grandma Zhao's husband went out for the second time, and Grandma Zhao warned him: If you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. If there is any trouble, you can run back. Money is not important. This time the leader is still Zhang Shaoen.But during the march, he encountered a horse pot head bigger than Zhang Shaoen.This horse pot head, other things don't like it, but Grandma Zhao's husband's big mule.He said to Grandma Zhao's husband, "Brother, you big mule, I'm jealous when I see it, give it to me, you won't suffer."Zhang Shaoen also advised him nicely from the side: Forget it, forget it, you can give it to him as a souvenir of what my elder brother likes!Don't take immediate losses, listen to me, you won't go wrong.So, Grandma Zhao's husband had no choice but to hand over the reins to the big pot head with tears in his eyes. Twenty-five days later, Grandma Zhao's husband returned home empty-handed. He cursed: "This time I met a big thief. Everything is over, the capital is gone, the mule is gone, and no business can be done." Grandma Zhao said: If you can come back alive, what else do you worry about? Grandma Zhao's husband thought about it and felt that what his wife said made sense.So it didn't take him long to put the matter out of his mind. One morning, before dawn, Grandma Zhao's husband was still fast asleep.Grandma Zhao felt that there was a noise outside the door. She listened carefully and found that someone was indeed walking outside the door.Then, another sneeze was heard.She got up slowly, put on embroidered shoes, washed her face, combed her hair, and opened the door carefully, ready to welcome guests from somewhere.Suddenly, she was stunned, and found that the "guest" outside the door turned out to be the big mule that was occupied by the big pot head in her house before.The big mule has a big pack on it.The big pack was so heavy that Grandma Zhao couldn't unload it.So, she moved a stool, put it under her feet, slowly opened the pack, and then took it out with her hands.She was so frightened that she fell off the stool to the ground.Regardless of the pain, she stood up in a panic. She wanted to shout, but she finally calmed down, slumped on the ground, and thought for a while.After that, she found a big basket, stood on the stool again, took out big handfuls of silver dollars from the bag, and put them in the basket.She reckoned that she had paid enough: she could buy a mule and horse for her husband, and still have some capital left over.She didn't want to ask for the rest of the silver dollars.At this time, it was already daylight.Grandma Zhao covered the silver coins on the mule, led the mule, and walked to the entrance of the village.She told the mule: Your pack is full of silver, you can't run around, go find your new owner.Then she slapped the mule three times on the rump, and it ran away laden with silver. Grandma Zhao's husband was still asleep when he was woken up by his wife.His wife told him the strange story that had just happened.He didn't believe it, but there was another basket of silver dollars in front of him as proof.With silver, Grandma Zhao neither asked her husband to buy horses, nor asked her husband to do other business.Together with her husband, she opened a "Nilangren" horse shop in Jixiongzhai.Since then, more and more Maguotou settled here, and Jixiongzhai became busier day by day.The people in Jixiongzhai were inspired by Grandma Zhao's shop opening, and opened more than a dozen horse shops here one after another, and the business is very good.Everyone respects this amazing woman and calls her Grandma Zhao. Carve the world twenty-one (5) The old doctor also said that since the day he went to Jixiongzhai to practice medicine, he saw Grandma Zhao set up a shop here. As for when Grandma Zhao moved here, he didn't know.But one thing is certain, Grandma Zhao's hometown is in Nilang Town.This fact was told to him by Grandma Zhao herself when he went to the "Nilangren" horse shop to bandage the wound on Grandma Zhao's foot. Of course, there are also people who say that the story told by the old doctor is not true, it was made up by some people, because Grandma Zhao and her husband were rich when they first arrived here.In the memories of several old people, Grandma Zhao and her husband opened a horse shop as soon as they arrived here, although the scale was smaller, but the business was very good. Immediately afterwards, Li Bang made a new and surprising discovery.A boy who lived in the same room with him said: "A few years ago, we followed a big pot head to and from this tea-horse road all the year round, and often stopped at this horse shop. I heard that the owner of the shop, Grandma Zhao My husband used to be a great monk, but later he met Grandma Zhao and was fascinated by her beauty, so he returned to the vulgarity and came here to open a horse shop. When he first came here, this man was very dissolute, and Grandma Zhao couldn't control him. The reason is that the little girls here like him very much and have sex with him secretly. They think that offering their virgin flowers to the great monk is like eating the meat of the Tang monk, which can increase their life span. Grandma Zhao was very annoyed and took the big monk The monk was imprisoned for more than half a year. After he came out, the great monk saw that Grandma Zhao was strictly abiding by women's morals, and often turned away those big horse pot heads who had unreasonable thoughts about her. They are all in contact with the women he has intercourse with, and he is doing business with Grandma Zhao in a well-behaved and honest way." "What is this man's name?" Li Bang asked. "I don't know either. Everyone doesn't care. They only know that he is Grandma Zhao's man. However, many years ago, when I was only a teenager, what did those women call him... Monk Ming?" "Monk Huiming, right?" "That's right, that's Monk Huiming. But, how do you know?" "I just guessed, but I didn't expect to guess right." "Then you are really a god-man?" "What kind of god is there? Don't you know? The monk loves to use this name, so he guesses right." "Oh I got it!" "Go to sleep! Go to sleep! I won't nag you anymore, you have to hurry tomorrow morning." The boy soon fell asleep.Li Bang lost sleep.But he discovered a very big secret. He couldn't find the teacher, but he found Master Gao's wife Zhao Jinhua.Now, a problem arises, how to get her to leave Monk Huiming?How to let her go to find Gao Shimei with him?Besides, she is already an old lady, how could she endure too much mental and physical torture?After thinking about it, Li Bang decided to give up this secret. He didn't want to touch Zhao Jinhua's life again. Isn't the relationship between her and Monk Huiming unbelievably harmonious?He decided to leave here early tomorrow morning, and let this secret be kept firmly in his heart for the time being, and he will reveal it after he finds Master Gao!Thinking of this, Li Bang felt relieved, the anxiety and various plans of the past few days suddenly collapsed, replaced by an indescribable tranquility that melted into his heart.The next day, the boy went to tidy up the horses early in the morning. He happened to meet Grandma Zhao, and he asked her, "Is your husband called Huiming monk?" Grandma Zhao was quite surprised, and asked him, "You ask?" What are you doing? Who told you?" The boy said, "Grandma Zhao, the guest who shared the room with me told me that. He knows you, do you know him?" Grandma Zhao said, "Nonsense Ba Dao, who knows him? A horse dealer who is sick and stays here? I will chase him out later and tell him not to cause trouble for me here. " As soon as the boy left, Grandma Zhao knocked on Li Bang's door.Li Bang put on his shirt and pants in a panic, opened the door and saw that it was Zhao Jinhua.She didn't speak, but her expression was extremely cold and stern, as if she had used some kind of magic to make Li Bang suffer in an unusual static state, unable to struggle. "Who are you? What exactly do you want to do?" She said, "I have seen it for a long time. You have been secretly investigating my history. Honestly, are you Li Bang? Where do you come from? What do you want to do?" What are you doing?" Li Bang suddenly felt that he had turned into a stiff and ugly stone, and he couldn't deal with the goddess-like Zhao Jinhua.He had to stare at her boldly.Her eyes are still so deep and charming.The shallow wrinkles on her face, like beautiful wood grains, had a sense of intimacy and attraction to him.Her whole body must have undergone some special test, and she obviously has a firm and pure charm.All this made Li Bang calm down very quickly. "I'm Li Bang. I was looking for my master Gao Shimei everywhere. I didn't expect to meet you here. It seems that you are doing well." Carve the world twenty-one (6) "I didn't expect you to come here either. It's been more than 30 years, and you have grown up like this, but I feel that you are still as hateful as before. Honestly, what do you want to do?" "I didn't come here on a special trip to find you. I see that you are living so well, and I don't want to cause you any trouble. But the arrangement of God insists that I meet you here. What can I do? I also I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing? But, think about it, what can I do to you?" "Neither of you master and apprentice is a good thing. I hate you to death. To tell you the truth, I am a lucky person. I met a good man like Monk Huiming. He dared to do anything for me and was faithful in everything. For me. My feelings for him have been burning like a fire, but you can't see or feel it. And your master Gao Shimei is like an unpredictable wooden man. When did he excite me? When will you understand my pain?" Li Bang was speechless.He didn't expect that Zhao Jinhua's heart was still so hard.He shook his head and sighed, feeling that the building seemed to be shaking too.Just now he had another fantasy, that is, he planned to ask Zhao Jinhua to find Gao Shimei together.It now appears that this fantasy has been shattered. "I don't know if it was you who seduced Gao Shimei, or Gao Shimei who misled you? Anyway, neither of you master and apprentice is a good person. Why are you looking for him now? Maybe, he has a better life outside than you, what?" Haven’t eaten? Haven’t seen anything? Haven’t done anything? Do you still want to be attached to him? Do you still want to do bad things with him?” "My master is a good man, not as bad as you think." Li Bang said, "I haven't seen him for more than 20 years, I don't know if he is dead or alive?" A big change happened suddenly, and she folded her hands together, at a loss. "Ah! You haven't seen each other for more than 20 years? Are you lying? You must be lying to me? I don't believe your nonsense." "I'm telling the truth. What's the point of me lying to you? I've searched all over Shiping, Lin'an, and Gejiu, but there's no trace of him." "Where did he go?" Zhao Jinhua fell into deep thought, "Could it be that after Huiming and I escaped, he looked for us everywhere?" "Yes," Li Bang began to lie, "after you left, Master Gao was like having a nightmare. He was in a state of panic every day, and frantically inquired about your whereabouts. He tasted what it was like to lose you. He has no time to regret it." "No, it's impossible. I can't imagine him so beautifully. I know, what you said is all lies. You want to lie to me? You should know what kind of person Gao Shimei is. Only wood can touch his heart .Besides, I'm not as good as a gust of wind in his heart. You say he regrets it, that's something that will never happen to him until death. You want to lie to me, hide it from me, you really have no conscience. Let me tell you, I'm not an idiot. I know everything, and no one can fool me. You go, don't let my Huiming recognize you. You can go wherever you want, and I won't stop you, so go away! I have something to do, so I won't see you off." As soon as Li Bang walked out of the shop, the "Nilang man" horse shop was surrounded by a group of soldiers.It was sent by the government to arrest "Grandma Zhao".Shouting and yelling, they rushed to the building and tied up Grandma Zhao.A man with the appearance of an official said: "You have conspired with the bandits, recognized the bandits as your father, betrayed Jixiong village, and knelt down to avenge your crime." Of course Zhao Jinhua refused to accept it, and struggled desperately, but was strangled by two soldiers, unable to move or speak.At the moment when she was about to be taken away, Li Bang standing at the door came into her vision.She saw Li Bang raised his right hand slightly, as if he wanted to say "goodbye" to her.She suddenly shouted: "Li Bang, only you can save me." Then, she raised her head and met Li Bang's eyes.Li Bang's right hand slowly lowered, watching her gradually walk away. The people in Jixiongzhai talked about it a lot.Not only was there no one to protect her, but someone suddenly realized: "It turns out that Grandma Zhao is also a bandit woman. No wonder Ma San not only didn't rob her, but listened to her." Someone then said: "You know what? The group of bandits in Xizong was brought in by Grandma Zhao. I saw it with my own eyes, and it is absolutely true.” Someone said: “This old thief is too vicious, she really deserves to be cut to pieces.” Li Bang's heart was terrible, and there was a bit of panic and anger in his eyes.The people and things that happened in front of him are too absurd.He sighed and sat down on a smooth slate.How to do it?How to do it?He is restless, and he despises everything here.He secretly made up his mind, stood up quickly, and left this annoying and inexplicable Jixiong Village.He kept going west.He walked very fast, as if a devil was chasing him.Before long, he entered a forest.In order to settle himself down, he sat down, drank a few sips of the mountain spring, ate something, leaned against a big tree, listened to the unique silence in the forest, and smelled the deep fragrance in the forest.He looked up and looked from a distance, except for the green trees, the green trees, and the mountain shadows.After a while, he fell asleep.He had a nightmare...he woke up in a state of panic.The scene in the dream was clearly visible, and it was like a symbolic and prophetic commentary, letting him know that Zhao Jinhua had been tortured and finally died in prison.
