Chapter II Elimination of Harm
"The peaks are like gathering, the waves are like anger, the mountains and rivers are like the roads on the Tongguan Road. Looking at the western capital, I feel sad, and I feel sad where the Qin and Han dynasties pass by. The palaces have been filled with earth. Prosperity, the people suffer, and the people suffer." A mountainside sheep tells the sadness of the Chinese people for thousands of years. On this land, it is rare to have a hundred years of calm, and the country is like a painting. Countless heroes fight for this, but the sufferings are all ordinary people. Especially a hundred years ago, the Mongolians invaded in large numbers. Nine out of ten houses are empty wherever they pass, and ten thousand acres are 100 acres. All the fertile fields turned into pastures. In the end, the Southern Song Dynasty, which was surviving, was destroyed, forcing the last young emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty to commit suicide. The people of the Central Plains suffered a hundred years of hardship under the exploitation of the Mongols. Only then did a great hero born in the wild, Zhu Yuanzhang led countless heroes such as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun. They first unified all parts of the south of the Yangtze River and established their capital in Jinling, and then led their troops north. After countless fierce battles, they drove the Mongols out of the south of Yanshan Mountain. The Yuan Dynasty capital was renamed Beiping.
But there is a large village with more than 100 miles north of Beiping, at the foot of the mountain. There is more than 300 families. They were originally slave craftsmen who made irons or carpenters in the Yuan Dynasty. Since the Mongolians withdrew from the Central Plains, they have been working as farmers for a living. During the slack farming, men in the village either worked as carpenters or blacksmiths, and their lives were rich. Unexpectedly, luck made people feel bad, and it took less than a few years to survive. First, a big insect appeared in the mountains, with white hair and black lines, which were very ferocious. The lives of passers-by were injured by it. The strong men in the village formed a team to beat him, and went for forty. The rest of the people were attacked by the big insect one after another, killing and injuring more than 20 people. Sha Yu returned. The county magistrate was a good official who loved the people. He dispatched a brigade of servants to kill tigers and eliminate harm. As a result, the big insect could not escape at first, but then he attacked in the middle of the night while everyone was unprepared. In a hurry, the big insect was bitten by the big insect, half of the head of the county magistrate, and a service officer, and countless casualties were injured. No one dared to mention the matter of eliminating harm. After that, many people had to go with them, and few people dared to come.
The big worm had been out for less than a few months, but another water monster appeared in the water. Every night, it would come out to harm it. First, it was chickens and dogs, and then it was dragged away by cattle and sheep. If you were not careful, you would be dragged away by it. Thinking about the common people's home, there were so many livestock for it to eat. In less than half a year, every household was left with all the houses, but the monsters refused to leave. The villagers raised money several times to pay their lives to come out to the mountain to subdue monsters and catch monsters. The mages who came were eaten by monsters one by one. After a few times, no mage dared to come.
In this year, if there were only the old, weak, sick and disabled in a big village, the rest fled to other places to avoid disaster. On that day, the old blacksmith Zhang Wu Ge got up in the morning, opened the courtyard gate, and checked the only few sheep left in the tall courtyard wall. But I didn't know if the courtyard wall that was more than 100 meters high (about two meters now) could still block the monster after the autumn. I sighed and took a bucket to carry water. On the way, I made an appointment as a carpenter to be an old man Yang Dashan. The two of them were also elders in their families. Now the juniors have run away and have done a heavy work, so I have to do it myself.
It was midsummer, and on the way, the two of them looked at the sparse crops in the fields and shook their heads. "I see, my god, there has never been any rebellious people in our village. Why did the rioters suffer this disaster?" Zhang Wu Ge sighed and said to Old Man Yang in a mess, "Uncle, you have entered the city in the early years, saw the market, and you also knew the words and words, saying which incense stick is missing. Look at the crops, you have committed evil." "I don't know, it's said that God has eyes, but hey, but I didn't see it. After a few times, I finally hoped that the Tartars would get out and the world would be peaceful. Who knows what happened?" Old Man Yang, who was called his uncle, shook his head. "But yesterday I heard Mr. Lame in the village say that our hard days are coming to an end." "He has just been studying for a few years, being a accountant for a few years, and teaching a few children to make a living. If he really knows how to teach before the horse, he will still be with us for the same trick." "Fifth brother, don't believe it, Mr. Lame I have seen people on the market. If I hadn't been unwilling to work hard for the Tartars in my early years, I wouldn't have been ruined." Old Man Yang saw that Brother Zhang Wu didn't believe it, and he couldn't help but defend the cripple. Mr. Lame is someone that Old Man Yang admired, and he always admired the cripple's knowledge. "That day, we brought back Master Zhiguang, who invited Mount Wu to eliminate monsters by the water. Before the master died, he had told the cripple in person." Old Man Yang mysteriously explained to Brother Zhang Wu, "The master said, let's do it. The village has the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and never sages have been released, so the spiritual energy is sucked by monsters. There is a white tiger on the mountain and a green dragon in the water. When the Vermilion Bird falls and Xuanwu comes out of the mountain, our hard days will be over." After a pause, he said: "Mr. Lame, he told me yesterday that he got up at night and saw Mars covering the moon and the meteors are like rain. I guess it was a vermilion Bird fall from the sky. Now it's the Xuanwu. When the Xuanwu comes out, the Qinglong and the White Tiger will return to their position."
Let’s talk about it, the two of them had already arrived at the well, put down the bucket, and fed out water. The old man asked again: “I know his uncle, the green dragon, the white tiger, and the vermilion bird, but the Xuanwu was just heard of, and I don’t know what it was.”
"It's the Thousand Years of Divine Turtle. I heard from the teacher that when Xuanwu comes out, the world is peaceful. When Xuanwu comes out, the hard days will come to an end. I don't know if my old bones can last for that day." Old Man Yang lowered his head and put the buckets together. Thinking about his children and grandchildren who were escaping from afar, he couldn't help feeling sad.
"Membersman, what is this place?" The two old men were just chatting, but didn't notice that someone had walked up to him. When they heard the question, they quickly raised their heads. Old Man Yang's hands were trembling, and the water poured into the bucket was poured into the bucket was poured onto his legs. Looking at Zhang Laowu again, he was so scared that he took a few steps back and sat on the ground. But he saw that man, nine feet tall (1.9 meters), had a big waist. He was wearing a tight dress without buttons and a pair of huge boots, which was not like the Central Plains clothing. There was a huge luggage behind him, and there was no strangeness. He looked at his face, and there was no real face, and his blood was everywhere, like an evil ghost who had eaten human flesh.
The man saw Brother Zhang fall, and quickly walked over and supported him with his hands. He was very uneasy for accidentally shocking the two old men. He quickly walked to the well, drew water to wash his face. He took out his clothes from his bags, changed his bloody outer garment, but he still had strange clothes without buttons. Seeing that he had no malice and did not behave like a bad person, the two old men gradually calmed down and looked up and down while he was changing his clothes.
Now I can see clearly that this person is only twenty-five or six years old. He has a bronze face with eyebrows on his temples, and is very heroic, but he is a rare and strong young man. I don’t know how he came into the mountain alone and was not eaten by a tiger. Looking at the bloodstain just now, he was obviously injured by a tiger, and I don’t know where the injury was.
While thinking, the young man had packed up and walked to the old man. This time he tried to lower his voice and said with a smile: "Two uncles, where is this place and how to go to the city."
"Our village is called Jianghuying, which is the boundary of Huairou County, Beiping Shunshi Tianfu, Jizhou. It is already the border of Daming. After passing the mountain there, it will not be under the jurisdiction of Daming." After coming back from surprise, Zhang Wu said a lot. "My little master, you are from Peking and I don't know which temple to practice." He saw that the strong man had very short hair and thought he was a monk who practiced, so he called him the little master.
Before he finished speaking, he heard a "ah" sound. The strong man felt like he was hit by a bolt from the blue, holding his head in his hands and squatting on the ground. It was no less than the panic of the two old men just now.
"God, why are you teasing me like this? If I had known this, I would have let the tiger eat it just now." Wu Anguo, who was squatting on the ground, murmured to himself.
In the 2003 Beijing Public Security Bureau's secret record, there is a report: Wu Anguo, male, 28 years old, double master's degree in mechanical and metallurgy from ** University, an amateur mountaineering enthusiast, an engineer from ** Design Institute, disappeared on September 8 in a camping near Simatai. He was healthy and had no abnormal behavior before his disappearance. This person was awarded the Beijing Employees' Sports Conference gold medal in long-distance running, archery, and black belt of karate. He did not bring a large amount of cash before his disappearance, so he ruled out that he was murdered.
In the unit, Wu Anguo is also a famous figure. Among the same group of newcomers assigned to the design institute, he is the only one who has nothing to do with and is not a doctorate. This matter is a bit legendary, and the Personnel Department is willing to go out to the public. He chose him among the many interviewers, and he was interested in his 1.9-meter-old big guy and a stack of award certificates at the college sports meeting. You should know that in the late 1990s, a place in Beijing was something that many graduates dreamed of. Wu Anguo did not disappoint the institute. At the staff sports meeting of the ministries and commissions that year, he won 3,000 meters, 400 meters, 100 meters and other schedules without conflict.
The gold medal in the track competition, Hotan Race, shot put and javelin champion, caused the competition organizing committee to modify the rules and stipulate that each athlete should participate in at most 5 events. This move achieved the breakthrough of zero gold medals in the Ministry of Sports Meeting in several years, and also made the men in the hospital proud and no longer could not raise their heads in front of their wife who are the same system forever. After the game, Wu Anguo received more bonuses than the year-end bonus of the office director, which is not the heavy prize set by the hospital in recent years to achieve zero breakthroughs. In recent years, there were not many projects in the hospital, so the leaders' attention was mainly focused on these spiritual civilization levels.
After the competition, the Director of Personnel Affairs asked Wu Anguo to talk to him, meaning that he would continue to work hard and strive for the first place. Of course, before the next young man with the skills of Wu Anguo arrived, Wu Anguo had to become the honor defender of the hospital.
Wu Anguo understood this very well. Since he went to elementary school, he began to play his strengths for the school's honor. So he almost failed to get into middle school. In order to allow him to go to a good school, his family also spent money to rely on his relationship. If the competition in the athlete industry was too fierce and his family had always disapproved of him as a professional player, he might have been selected for the national team to win glory for the country. For him, personally, sports is the greatest joy in life, and his studies are a chore that cannot be done to make a living. Some people are willing to let him not work and exercise for free, which is a desperate need. In the following years, he successively conducted sports events such as karate, martial arts, archery and other sports at the Municipal Workers' Amateur Sports School. He also won the first gold medal in more than 50 years at the City Workers' Sports Games. Later, he became fascinated by mountaineering and became a famous "donkey" until last night.
I went to the Great Wall to camp last night, originally for a promise from that year. I once promised to bring a girl to the Great Wall to see the stars in the summer. Although the girl had already reached the other end of the earth, in the past few summers after she flew away, Wu'anguo would come to the Great Wall to see the stars. It was also to commemorate the selfless efforts of his youth.
Wu Anguo had already found something was wrong when he climbed out of a sleeping tent this morning. His years of career as a donkey guest made him very sensitive to the environment. There were no plastic bags and mineral water bottles on the mountain camping yesterday, which was a miracle. But he didn't think much about it at that time, and hurriedly collected the tent, sleeping bag and other personal belongings to prepare to go down the mountain because he had to go to work tomorrow and was almost thirty years old. He no longer wanted to be an amateur athlete for the rest of his life. In recent years, he has taken on several design projects and did a good job. The director of the room has already talked to him about the succession after retirement.
After two or three hours, Wu Anguo finally accepted a reality and got lost. If his "donkey" brothers knew about this, he would definitely laugh out loud. Wu'an Congress, who had been a "donkey" career, got lost and no one believed it. But this was the fact. I don't know where he went, but there would be such a lush forest on the mountains around Beijing. Look at the 5,000-yuan mountaineering table, it was clearly still near Beijing. But this mountain is so different from the one I remember. In less than half an hour, he had seen three golden pheasants, two wild boars, and a few animals that looked like deer but not deer. According to the wildlife manual, it should be musk deer.
Could it be that I was kidnapped by aliens? Wu Anguo smiled bitterly and shook his head. It was the first time I encountered such a strange thing in the years of climbing mountaineering. Fortunately, the serial crossbow that I designed myself and was customized by the classmate who was a chief engineer in a township enterprise was not on my waist. The thing was stringed through the gears and could shoot a hole in the marching pot within twenty meters. As long as I didn't encounter a gun-carrying robber, with the skills of Wu Anguo, five or six big men were not opponents at all. Patting this treasure that could be fired three times in a row, Wu Anguo would be somewhat relieved. Anyway, as long as I walk down the mountain, I will find the way sooner or later.
The sunlight fell from the top of the tree, accompanied by the swaying shadows, and rhythmically cooperated with the sound of birds and cicadas in the woods, giving people an illusory feeling. If this is really still near Beijing, I would really go back and invite "hikers" to come with me. After all, such a beautiful scenery is rare. Wu Anguo, who calmed down from the initial panic of Wu'anguo, immediately replied to the true nature of the donkey and enjoyed the scenery in the woods with all his heart.
Suddenly, the sound of birds singing in the forest stopped, and countless unknown birds flapped their wings and flew into the distance, and then there was a chaotic footsteps. Countless boars, wild deer, and rabbits passed by inseparably. Unlucky, there were wild beasts. After all, I have been engaged in outdoor sports for many years, and I knew from the intuition that the danger was approaching. I quickly ran to a big tree, used my hands and feet, climbed up, found a thick and oblique side branch, and sat steadily in the middle, four or five meters above the ground, and then I realized that I was still carrying it.
With a heavy marching bag, at this critical moment, he obviously had no time to take care of it. He looked down at the danger, but found that his eyes were like copper bells under the tree, looking at it coldly. The cold eyes came from a tiger, as big as a buffalo, with white hair and black lines, majestic. I don’t know which wild safari came from, but none of the tigers seen in the Beijing Zoo grew to such a size and was so majestic. It was probably because the tiger was hungry and got up in the morning to find breakfast.
When the tiger saw Wu Anguo, it stopped chasing the animals that fled everywhere. It was obvious that he was much more interested in him than other animals. He turned around under the tree, found a slightly higher place, pressed his front paws down, and with a whoosh, he rushed up, drew a beautiful arc in the air, and headed straight for Wu Anguo. Wu Anguo was so panicked that he quickly shrank his legs, and the tiger's front paws surveyed and rubbed his hiking shoes. At this time, he didn't care about the figure of the tiger, and he didn't care about the branches hanging on his face, and rushed toward higher places. Less than a few steps, the big tree swayed violently. It turned out that the beast could not pounce on him, so he used a huge size.
The body hit the tree, and it made the big tree sway left and right. At this time, Wu'anguo called Tiantian and the earth was not effective. He cursed in his heart that he was so irresponsible that he even put beasts into the mountains. At the critical moment, his hands and feet were sore and soft, and his back was cold, but the forest stroke blew his clothes and the cold sweat on his back. Suddenly, the straddle tightened, his legs became hot, and urine dripped from his trouser legs. He finally found a taller branch to jammed himself, and the tree stopped shaking. He looked down and looked down, and his soul was scattered. The tiger was grabbing the trunk and climbing up the tree step by step.
