Chapter 37 The Uncle Who Drives the Donkey
The moonlight tonight seems to be brighter than last night. The bright white jade plate couldn't wait to hang in the east sky before the sunset completely set.
Just like a couple in mythology and legend, they were cursed because they offended the gods. Every day, the husband chased his wife, and the wife chased her husband, and could only look at each other from afar, but they could never get together forever.
The lonely boy may not have heard of this sad legend when he walks on the road. However, for the first time, he is far away from his hometown and familiar relatives and friends, he is also sad. He may also want to say a few sad words to express the deep sadness in his heart.
Unfortunately, I had less words in my stomach. After holding it in for a long time, I didn’t put up any creative verses. I had to recite a few verses that I didn’t know where I saw them, and then became more elegant.
"The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground. I look up at the bright moon and think of my hometown."
It is said that this poem that has been passed down through the ages was written by an immortal who was exiled to the mortal world, describing the moment when he was visiting a foreign land, and the feeling of separation arose like a turbulent wave in the quiet night.
I just don’t know whether this immortal’s hometown is a mountain village in the world or a Guanghan Moon Palace in the sky...
While walking along the road quickly, Li Mu reached out to catch the moonlight, but finally found that the white moonlight flowed lightly between his fingers, leaving only a moment of coolness.
He did not have the ability to use a scoop to scoop the moonlight in ancient legends, so he finally sighed and said, "This is really as bright as frost and snow. No wonder the moon was called Guanghan Palace. I don't know if there are really fairies living in the palace..."
The green mountains in the distance are undulating, and under the moonlight, they are like giant beasts crawling on the ground. There is no green in the fields on both sides of the road, there are only some yellow fallen leaves, mixed with red spots, but they do not look conspicuous under the moonlight.
The night wind was already a bit bit biting, blew the withered and yellow weeds on the roadside, making rustling sounds. Not only did it not make people feel noisy, but it added a feeling of bleakness and tranquility. Occasionally, the fallen leaves that fluttered with the wind circling and flying on the road, like a child who was lost, not knowing which direction to go.
"Where should I go? Where should I go?" Li Mu looked at the flying fallen leaves and thought with some sadness.
He had never traveled far away. Apart from his childhood, he had only been to Lianshan Town. In just one or two days, he had to leave his familiar hometown, and he was a little at a loss.
Li Mu felt his legs heavier and heavier. The pain of falling injuries on his body stimulated his nerves more and more obviously, causing him to feel a little bit of sitting down and not leaving. He even had the urge to turn around and run home, throw himself into his mother's arms and cry.
But reason told him that he could not go back at all now. Whether it was the reminder on the cloth strip that Yan Xi gave him or the various encounters today, it clearly reminded him that the sadness in his arms was an extremely dangerous thing.
When Li Mu thought of the black-armored sergeant beside Feng Yi, he actually shot the arm of "Brother Tian" with an expressionless face. When Li Mu thought of Brother Tian's bloody arm, he was cut off by a knife, he even felt like he wanted to vomit.
And he had already figured it out that Feng Yi really wanted to steal his jade bi, but it was because of the reminder from Liu Dafu and Han Yong that he could survive until now. Otherwise, the black-armored soldier named Liu Yu would not have wanted to kill him, he would probably not be able to violate the orders of his superiors in the end and would have carried himself into the woods and chopped him down.
Li Mu had thought of throwing this jade bi away, but every time he wanted to throw it away, he would think of Ye Qi's appearance when he wiped the blood from his mouth, and the conversation between Ye Qi and Mo Hanshan: If a person has no pursuit, no persistence, and no one who can protect with his life, there is no difference between being alive and dead.
Li Mu felt it made sense and did not want to be a living dead person, so he insisted on throwing away the jade bi, because he thought it was a kind of persistence and promise. Since he agreed, he had to do it.
What's more, his always ideal is to become a hero, and now he has the opportunity, so how can he give up at will?
Of course, he refused to return home because he was worried that it would implicate his family.
"Pursuit, persist..." Li Mu clenched my fists and whispered to himself.
The sadness of the young man was like the evening breeze blowing through the side. Although it was a little cold, a little rapid, and even a little desolate, he could always feel a light breath. So Li Mu quickly adjusted his mindset. He was going to run a while to prove that he was a strong person, a brave person, a person who would persevere to the end with his pursuit, and a person who could ignore his own safety for his family...
Although I had been running for a while and these things seemed not to be too stubborn, Li Mu still insisted on doing so.
After the sadness and thoughts just now, Li Mu suddenly felt that he was much stronger, and he thought that as long as he felt that he was right, he should do it, and he should do it immediately.
Just as Li Mu raised his right foot and was about to run forward, a squeaking donkey screams came from the road ahead, which seemed particularly harsh under the quiet night. Li Mu's right foot, which had just raised, accidentally stepped on his left foot due to the disturbance of the donkey's screams...
"Your uncle, which dead donkey attacked your uncle Li Mu..." Amid Li Mu's screams, he inevitably rushed forward.
With a "thump" sound, Li Muji lay on the ground indecently and fell like a dog eating shit.
When he got up from the ground with a dizzy mind, he unexpectedly found that a black and red outline appeared on the road that was originally yellow, and he couldn't help but feel amused and crying.
It turned out that the dirt on my body was actually dirtier than the ground.
Thinking of this, Li Mu was too lazy to even take pictures of the dust off. He rubbed his chin with a little pain, then looked forward carefully, and then found a big tree not far ahead, and a donkey cart was parked under the tree.
The donkey was lying on the ground, and a black shadow squatted on the donkey's hind legs, not knowing what he was doing.
Because the moonlight was bright, Li Mu walked forward several feet away and saw the black shadow squatting on the ground, the coachman holding cabbage at the checkpoint of Lianshan Town. The donkey uncle who was lying on the ground and refused to move, Li Mu looked familiar, as if he was the one who kept sneezing on the street on the day he bought clothes for Ye Qi.
"It's over, it's over." Li Mu couldn't help but sigh.
He felt that he had bad luck for several days, and must have been because of the plague donkey. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain that he had been staying well in Lianshan Town. Since the plague donkey sneezes at him several times, he suddenly had to run away from home.
As for other reasons, Li Mu, who was indignant, is not ready to consider it for the time being.
And he thought about it carefully and felt that in the afternoon, he secretly looked at the plague donkey in the corner. When he retracted, he saw Lao Hei appearing fiercely in front of him. Can't this prove anything?
When Li Mu thought of this, his heart skipped a beat and hesitated whether he should walk over.
Just after being sprayed with a little saliva, he fell off the cliff and almost died of death. After just taking a look, Lao Hei almost made a few marks on his butt. Just when he heard the donkey's voice, he fell a dog to eat shit. If he went up and touched the hair of the plague donkey, would he be in a different place in the next moment...
Just as Li Mu stopped to think about whether to pass, the driver of the donkey seemed to notice Li Mu, stood up and waved at him, "Young man, why don't you move? I'm not a strong man, I'm just a driver. I still have some water and food here, don't be afraid..."
A simple country accent made Li Mu feel very intimate.
Although the coachman's accent does not look like that of Chu Nan, but there is a Yuexi accent, Li Mu was still moved by this simple atmosphere. He even remembered the uncles and aunts in Lijiashan Village. Every time he had something good, he had to give some to the children in the village first.
Since all the elders of the family had already spoken, Li Mu had to grit his teeth and walked over, praying in his heart to all kinds of gods to bless the plague donkey not to cause disaster to himself, or at least not to sneeze at himself again.
Under the bright moonlight, the coachman's face still looked extremely dark, with gullies on his face full of wind and frost. I believe that even if he rolled it with a rolling pin, he would probably not be able to level it.
When Li Mu walked to him, the coachman smiled honestly. He took out a piece of bread from a bag in the car beside him, took out a shiny black gourd, pulled out the plug and handed it to Li Mu. Then he grinned and said, "Young man, I know you must have not eaten. Although these are not good things, I can fill my stomach at least. You can eat a little."
"Uncle, how did you know that I am a young man?" Li Mu grunted for a long time and finally put up such a sentence. He was really curious. Has his "disguise" really failed like this?
"Haha, I don't have other skills, but my ears are better." The coachman smiled proudly, revealing a yellow-plate teeth that was not neat, and said, "Although your walking steps are a bit messy, it is very light. I know that only young people will have the mood to walk like this. Middle-aged people like me will not have the mood to walk."
