"What a crime! Take me to see the soldiers you brought back."
The emaciated old man had a sad face, picked up his crutches, stood up with some difficulty, and walked out the door. In another yard next to the command post, the soldier Gila carried back was lying unconscious on the wooden bed.
The old man walked over and put his hand on the soldier's forehead, then grabbed his arm and checked his pulse. The police officer who followed him said: "Clean up the yard, carry the man out and put him under the sun, and tell the kitchen to cook a pot of ginger soup."
, add this to the ashes, and feed each person a bowl!" After saying that, he took out a blue talisman paper from his pocket.
Xu Yizheng did not speak during the whole process and his face was pale.
After explaining what he had to do to the guards, the thin old man looked at Xu Yizheng's appearance and sighed: "Are you still not used to it after so many years?"
"Life is impermanent! Old friend, I would rather not join this department in the first place! I will send you back to rest, and I won't drink with you tonight!"
"How can that be done? Now I have to drink one meal and skip one meal! It's just you and I who were there at the beginning. Hey, it won't be long before you are the only one left. You bear a lot of responsibility!"
Although the skinny old man said this, when it was just getting dark, he asked Gila to light a fire in the house, cover him with a thick quilt, and lie down to sleep.
The next day, just after dawn, Ji La got up for morning exercises. As soon as she went out, she saw Xu Yizheng standing in the yard with his hands behind his back, looking at the mountains in the distance. It seemed that he should have been standing here for a long time.
"Good morning, Uncle Xu!" Ji La greeted in a low voice.
Xu Yizheng still maintained his posture of looking into the distance and chuckled: "Jira, do you think seeing the sunrise every day is a beautiful thing?"
Gila didn't speak. He looked up at the mountains in the distance and didn't notice anything special.
"The rescued soldiers have all woken up. Apart from being a little weak, there are no other serious problems." Xu Yizheng said slowly.
"Yes. Master said that after my senior brother comes, it will be taken care of soon!"
There was a smile on Gila's face when he talked about his senior brother, and then said: "Actually, I haven't met him either."
The corners of Xu Yizheng's mouth twitched slightly, then he stared into the distance and stopped talking.
The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone on the face of Ji La who was doing morning exercises. It was warm and Ji La narrowed her eyes in comfort.
"When the sun rises, people will see hope, right?"
After Xu Yizheng said this, he turned around and went back to the house. Ji La looked at the sun in confusion and then behind her to continue her morning exercises.
Breakfast was steamed buns, pickles and a bowl of rice porridge brought by the security guards. The three of them sat at the table and were about to use their chopsticks when a police officer ran in from outside. Jira recognized him as the sentry guarding the passage.
, the police officers saluted Xu Yizheng.
"Report! There is a man named Qin De at the door. He claims to be the disciple of Huang He Lao Li. He wants to see the supreme commander. Please give instructions!"
Xu Yizheng stared at the thin old man for a while, but saw that the old man didn't even raise his eyelids, and seemed a little disappointed. Suddenly he laughed loudly and said: "Old Li from the Yellow River, hahahaha, bring us in. Bring us here directly, be polite!
"
"Yes!" the police officer trotted out.
Not long after, a young man walked in at the door of the command post. The man was wearing a set of old washed yellow cloth clothes, carrying a cloth bag with a red star printed on it in his hand, and the cloth shoes on his feet were full of mud.
The young man rushed straight to the emaciated old man and grabbed the old man's arm with red eyes: "Master, you old man."
Before he finished speaking, the thin old man slapped his dirty hands away. The old man pushed the bowl of steamed buns and pickles in front of the man: "Stop, wait until I die before you cry! Finish your meal quickly.
Go to work with your brother!"
The young man must have been very hungry. He grabbed the steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, while asking vaguely: "My brother?"
The emaciated old man raised his finger and pointed at Jira: "Jira, the person next to me after you is two years younger than you. From Qin De, when you two are together, one will talk and the other will move!"
Ji La, who was wearing Miao costume, looked at Qin De with a naive smile.
"Qin De, do you still know me?" Xu Yizheng, who had been ignored for a long time, finally spoke.
Qin De glanced at Xu Yizheng, with an incredulous expression on his face. He hurriedly put the steamed buns in his hands on the table, wiped his hands on his clothes, saluted Xu Yizheng in a non-standard manner, and then grabbed the buns on the table.
He continued to stuff the steamed buns into his mouth.
"Remember, I met you when I was a kid. My master often said you didn't say good things!"
Xu Yizheng was choking on the steamed bun and coughing. The skinny old man had a smile on his face: "Qin De is still lovable, hahahaha."
Qin De chuckled and handed the rice porridge in front of Xu Yizheng: "Uncle Xu, your people blocked me from the door and pointed a gun at me."
Xu Yizheng slapped Qin De hard on the forehead: "You brat, eat quickly. I'll call someone to bring some more."
After Qin De and Ji La went out, Xu Yizheng glanced at the thick fog in the distance.
"Old friend, can they two do it?"
"The two of us have learned a lot about my skills. Do you think it's okay?"
After hearing what the skinny old man said, Xu Yizheng finally relaxed and leaned back on his chair: "We have known each other for more than sixty years. You should tell me what your name is, right? I'll see you in a few years.
It’ll be easier to find you now that we’re down there.”
The thin old man rolled his eyes at Xu Yizheng: "Old Li from the Yellow River! Your kid is guaranteed to live to be 120 years old, why are you so anxious?" After that, he closed his eyes and stopped talking.
Xu Yizheng had long been accustomed to the appearance of the thin old man, so he picked up the map next to the table and looked through it.
"Old man, after the matter is settled, do you think this place will be transformed into a scenic spot or something else?"
"This kind of thing that does not cause panic among the people is not a common occurrence for you? There are many reasons!"
In Zhangxiang Village, Ji La and Qin De walked around the village and then walked out of the village together.
"Brother, the master said there is an insignificant and terrifying existence buried underground. Can you find it?"
Qin De was troubled by Ji La's endless questions along the way. This young man who rarely talked in front of others had never stopped talking to him since he came out.
Gila pointed to a grave not far away.
"Brother, look at this tomb, which looks very old. There is a hole as big as a bucket in the back. Is this where the terrifying existence that the master mentioned crawled out?
"The barren tomb has been in disrepair for a long time! This seems to be a suitable place for burying people. I will tell you briefly, and then you can let me be quiet for a while, okay? If you want to judge whether the hole is suitable for burial, you must look at the hole.
Check the sand and water near the ground to see if the sand is surrounded by water, or if the sand flies away from the water.
Sand refers to the mountains near the cave. There are mountains in front of the cave and on the left and right sides, so that the vitality condensed there will not be blown away by the wind. The sutra says: Qi will be dispersed by the wind. Therefore, the cave must hide the wind.
It will not be blown by strong winds. The sand ring is the primary condition for hiding the wind.
Water refers to streams, rivers or even oceans near the cave. If meandering water flows in front of the cave, or there is a place where water gathers, the vitality condensed in the earth will not be scattered. The Sutra says: Qi will be dispersed by the wind.
, the boundary will stop. It means that when Qi comes into contact with water, it will gather and stop producing. Therefore, the water surrounding this point is the first condition for Qi gathering.
Feng shui attaches great importance to the sand ring and water hug, because the water hug can condense the vitality of the cave, and the sand ring can prevent the condensed vitality of the cave from being blown away by the wind. The two will be auspicious conditions for the cave, so the "Burial Sutra"
" said: The method of Feng Shui is to get water first, and to hide the wind is second. Although the grave bag you mentioned is not that good, it will never produce foreign objects!"
