Chapter 269 Rabbit Spirit in the Cave

Wang Huaguo's eyes finally adapted to the bright environment and could see things. He hurriedly looked forward and saw an old man standing in front of him.

This old man is dressed like a country fisherman. Although he is a country old man, his clothes are still neat and his face is red, not the ordinary pale yellow. There are some wrinkles on his face, but they are not deep.

But he also looked at Rafflesia Fruit with surprised eyes.

The old man lit a large bowl of fish fat, which illuminated the whole place. It was actually a large round hole with a deep pool in front. There was a dead body lying beside the pool. Although Wang Huaguo walked around a few times, , in fact, it’s not that far away from the dead body. After all, the hole is not big.

Wang Huaguo said: "Old man, I, I am, ah..."

Seeing Wang Huaguo's incoherence, the old man asked first, "Boy, you look so honest. Did you kill someone? Tell the truth."

The old man was also on guard against him, holding a wooden bucket in his hand. As long as the opponent wanted to kill him, he would smash it with the bucket, and then blow out the oil lamp first. After all, he was relatively familiar with this place.

In the end, Wang Huaguo told the truth honestly, saying that he was being hunted and that they wanted to rob him of one of his scriptures. This scripture belonged to a monk from Shaolin Temple and asked him to keep it. He could not lose it, so the gang kept chasing him. When I came here, I fell into the whirlpool and was washed ashore. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Yang Shucheng.

Of course, the old man couldn't ask Yang Shucheng, but he also made an analysis and found that a group of outsiders had indeed come to the town for a while, all of them holding swords. At first glance, they were not good people, and they might be bandits. . I felt that what Wang Huaguo said was somewhat honest.

When Wang Huaguo saw that the old man just frowned and analyzed and remained silent, he couldn't help but ask: "I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe it, ask Yang Shucheng."

The old man couldn't help but ask: "Who is Yang Shucheng?"

"It's a friend who came with me."

The old man rolled his eyes and said, "Where should I go to find Yang Shucheng? Did he also fall into the whirlpool and drown?"

"No, he is very powerful. He must have escaped, but he will definitely come back to save me."

"What kind of scripture is it that is so important that so many people come to snatch it?" The old man finally asked the substantive question.

"It's the Marrow Cleansing Sutra."

"This is not a famous sutra, nor is it the Diamond Sutra or the Lotus Sutra. You can just give it to them and you won't fall into the whirlpool." The old man curled his lips and said.

"That's not possible. I promised the monks in the temple. I can't give it to them."

"If you don't want to give it, don't give it to me. I don't understand you. What's the value of a broken scripture book?"

Wang Huaguo asked: "Old man, are you the immortal in the cave? If you were, you would be the immortal grandfather."

The old man laughed loudly and said: "I am not a god. It would be great if I were a god."

Wang Huaguo asked: "I'm not a god, how come I'm here?"

The old man said: "If you are not a god, you cannot come. You are not a god. Why are you here?"

Wang Huaguo thought that what the old man said made sense. At this time, his mind was no longer stupid, and his heart suddenly became enlightened, and he said: "Since I can come, I can know the way out. Please take me out."

"Okay." The old man answered simply, and Wang Huaguo was also very happy. However, the old man continued: "I came all this way to fish, please wait for me."

Wang Huaguo was waiting aside and saw the old man walking towards the pool. The body of the strong man was still lying on the side of the pool. The old man looked at it and then walked towards the deep pool.

Firstly, the old man had lived so long and had seen some dead people, so he was not afraid. There would always be corpses floating on the Han River every now and then. Secondly, he believed that this person was not killed by Wang Huaguo.

The old man turned around and asked: "Boy, you are not a local. Are you a young monk from Shaolin Temple? What is your name?"

Wang Huaguo said: "I am not a Shaolin Temple monk. My name is Wang Huaguo. I live in a village at the foot of the Shaolin Temple. I herd sheep at home. I often go to the Shaolin Temple to herd sheep, and I have become familiar with the monks in the temple."

The old man said: "My surname is Zhang."

"Hello, Uncle Zhang."

The old man walked to the pool, pulled out a net from behind his waist, raised his right hand, and spread the fishing net into the pool with a bang.

When the net was lifted, there was a net of lively fish in it. Old man Zhang picked up the fish from the net and put it into the bucket. He turned to Wang Huaguo and said, "What kid? Oh, my name is Wang Huaguo. Stop standing there and help pick up the fish."

Wang Huaguo hurriedly ran over to pick up the fish.

Outside Chijia Mountain is a huge whirlpool, which often drags the surrounding fish into the bottom of the river, unable to escape. Finally, they all swim into this pool. Outside is the rapidly rotating water, and they cannot escape. They gather here, only to Waiting for Old Man Zhang to net them.

Fish have been gathering here for several days. Old man Zhang cast a few nets and caught a bucket full of fish.

The cave was very quiet. At this time, I heard a cooing sound, and Wang Huaguo thought to herself, there are frogs here.

"Boy, are you hungry? How many days have you not eaten?"

Wang Huaguo said: "I don't know how many days, my stomach was very hungry, and I was so hungry that I grumbled. At first I thought it was a frog."

Old Man Zhang said: "You didn't tell me earlier, there are no ready-made fish here, I will grill a few for you to eat."

The existing firewood in the cave was prepared by Old Man Zhang to light a fire for roasting during his break from fishing in the winter, and now it comes in handy.

The two of them piled a pile of firewood, and the old man brought the oil bowl and lit the fire.

Then each of them skewered a fish and grilled it over the fire.

It was roasted in a while. I was really hungry, so I took it and ate it.

There are two old brothers. He is the eldest, named Zhang Dafei, and there is a younger brother named Zhang Xiaofei. Because his family was poor, Zhang Xiaofei went to a family on the other side of the Han River and became a son-in-law who stepped in and farmed the land. He rarely came back.

Zhang Dafei got married locally and gave birth to a son. His son got married and gave birth to a daughter. Three years ago, the young couple were fishing on the Han River in a small boat. A boatload of bandits came and killed them both. He killed them and robbed not only their fish, but also their boat.

Zhang Dafei almost cried his eyes out. At this time, his granddaughter was also fifteen or sixteen years old. She was cute and well-behaved, and the grandfather and grandson depended on each other for life.

As the saying goes: every misfortune brings blessing. Dafei cried for his son and his daughter-in-law. He almost went blind from crying, but he waited for Houfu to come.

On this day, he went up to Chijia Mountain to cut firewood. He couldn't see clearly, so he missed the mark and fell down the cliff. He thought he would die if he rolled down, but he got caught on a branch and died.

When he opened his eyes, he was halfway up the cliff. Looking around, he found a cave. But then I saw a rabbit running into the hole.

This rabbit may also have rolled down the mountain and fallen into this cave.

Zhang Dafei became greedy and wanted this rabbit. After all, the grandfather and grandson had not had the smell of meat for a long time.

He knew that the rabbit couldn't escape, so he chopped down the pine branches with the ax in his hand and made a torch.

Zhang Dafei held the torch and climbed into the cave. Sure enough, he climbed a few steps, and the rabbit was waiting in front. When it saw old man Zhang crawling in and wanted to catch it and fry rabbit meat, it turned around and ran towards the hole.

Old man Zhang didn't want to give up the rabbit meat that was almost to his mouth, so he chased after him with a torch.

Just like that, one rabbit and one person ran straight towards the depths of the hole.
