Chapter 45 Blood Ganoderma
After rushing for a while, I stopped and rested for a while, thinking about the time I had been delayed before, and then continued on the road. I have to say that the higher I went, the fresher the air around me. I looked around and saw white clouds lingering under my feet. I looked down at the foot of the mountain. I couldn't see clearly. I smiled excitedly. It seemed that I still had some achievements in my hard work.
At this moment, I accidentally saw a cliff on the other side of the cliff. It was not that there was anything strange about the cliff, but that there were two figures shaking at the edge of the cliff. I couldn't help but stop and walked closer to the edge, and took in the sight of everything on the opposite side.
It was an old man and a young man. His face looked very similar, but it looked like a father and son. They were busy tying ropes. I frowned. The cliff was extremely steep, and the bottom was even deeper. Could it be that the father and son had to go down below the cliff?
Then, I followed the rope they threw down, looked down, and looked carefully, and suddenly I realized that there was a blood-red herb growing in my heart. After touching it again, I shouted in shock: "It turned out to be a rare blood Ganoderma lucidum. No wonder the father and son were going to risk going down the cliff."
I couldn't help it, and I decided to stop and see if they picked the blood Ganoderma lucidum. I saw the old man tried the toughness of the rope and said something to the young man. The young man shook his head. Although it was not far away, I still couldn't hear the conversation between them.
Soon, the young man took the lead to the edge of the cliff and nodded heavily to the old man. The old man seemed to wipe his tears and slowly tied the rope to the young man.
The young man grabbed the rope tightly, then jumped out carefully, and immediately kicked a raised stone with his feet. Then, he slowly loosened the rope and jumped down again. The seemingly close distance made the young man walk extremely hard. The old man above stared at his son without slacking off for a moment.
Just as the place getting closer and closer to the blood Ganoderma lucidum, the young man's feet suddenly hung in the air, and the rope in his hand was also swaying back and forth in the air. Seeing this, the old man above opened his mouth and shouted: "Be careful."
I heard the sound this time, and my heart felt warm. The young man under the cliff didn't say anything. He waved a lot in the air and finally caught a stone. Because he was not stuck, the young man slowly kicked the stone and moved downwards. Seeing it made my palms sweat. This kid is such a man.
Finally, the young man moved step by step to the blood Ganoderma lucidum, then raised his head and shouted to it, looking at the old man's happy smile, probably telling the old man that he would be able to pick the blood Ganoderma lucidum immediately.
If this rare blood Ganoderma lucidum is taken and sold in a medicine shop, it is a considerable wealth, but it is not easy to get it. If you are on the top of a thousand feet, you may fall down and smash it to pieces if you are not careful. Legend has it that if you are not father and son, you will not be able to do this even if you are brothers. If it is between brothers, it is very likely that you will secretly become greedy and have the idea of taking it alone. The people above can only kill the people below with just one axe. Of course, the father and son will not, because the ancients once said that tigers do not eat their sons.
But the young man reached out to pick it, but he couldn't reach it. His fingers were only separated from the blood Ganoderma lucidum, and it was only a little distance, as if it was a distance away. The young man had been able to finish it for half a day but failed to get what he wanted.
After a while, he seemed tired and lay on the stone wall for a while to rest. I was thinking about how to pick the blood Ganoderma lucidum. I saw the young man kicking his toes, his whole body suddenly swaying high, and then quickly crossing the location of the blood Ganoderma lucidum, but this time he reached out, but he didn't reach it.
After repeated failures, the young man was not discouraged. On the contrary, he kept swinging and then reached out to pick it. He must have chosen to touch it carefully because he was afraid of catching the blood Ganoderma lucidum. Therefore, he swung back and forth again and again and could not do what he wanted.
"careful."
Suddenly, I suddenly heard the old man above shouting again, and immediately looked up. I didn't know what he was calling, maybe he was just asking his son to be careful.
Sure enough, the young man continued to swing around the blood Ganoderma lucidum without saying a word. Then, the old man above shouted louder: "Stop quickly, the rope will be broken."
The young man hurriedly raised his head, then looked down at the blood Ganoderma lucidum, paused and started to swing again. This time, the young man picked the blood Ganoderma lucidum, and at this moment, the old man quickly tied another rope, jumped off the cliff, and jumped quickly to the position where his son was. The young man was still surprised. I looked at the rope above him quickly, and was shocked in his heart. Then, the rope was really about to break.
The young man's whole body suddenly fell down in the air. At this critical moment, his father suddenly reached out to grab one hand and the other hand tightly grabbed the rope.
"Hurry up."
The old man shouted, then he stepped on the stones with his feet and barely stabilized. I rubbed my hands and rows of sweat appeared on my forehead inexplicably. This was really too dangerous.
The young man first put the blood Ganoderma lucidum into his arms, then hugged the old man's waist with both hands, kicked his feet, and grabbed the rope very quickly. Suddenly, the rope that the two grabbed suddenly paused down. Both the old man and the young man almost fell down. I rushed and smashed my fist hard. Oh, it would be great if I could save them. It seems that the rope couldn't resist the weight of the two...
The two of them stabilized again, but for a moment they had difficulty climbing up, because the rope could not resist the weight of the two, but it was even more impossible to go down. There was a deep abyss below, and my heart was also up and down, as if a cat was scratched.
At this moment, the old man pointed his finger and said something to his son. Then, the young man kept shaking his head, and like the old man, he pointed his finger and said a few words. At the same time, the young man reached out and touched his arms, but the old man reached out and pressed it down and stopped him.
The desperate waiting was what the two of them did now, and I am afraid that the only thing they could do. I hurriedly looked back at the stone steps and started to wonder again. If I went down and passed by them, I would probably not have time. This journey had been going for two days. After two days, the rope might break, and I would also lose this important opportunity to go up the mountain to seek elixirs.
Just when I was unpredictable, the old man stroked his beard and touched his son's hair. Then... waved his sleeves and wiped his tears. My heart skipped a beat. Could the old man want to...
Sure enough, I was right. Just as the young man reached out to grab the old man, the old man suddenly loosened the rope and jumped out of the abyss. The young man screamed hysterically: "Father,."
At this moment, my tears flowed down without any competing. I could imagine what the old man said to his son before leaving. He said first that he was old and would not live for a few years in the future. But his son was different. He was young and still had a few decades to go. He chose one of the two. The old man decided to let his son survive and seek death by himself. Only in this way can his son survive and get a fortune...
With a simple comparison and a simple choice, the old man ended his life in exchange for his son's chance to survive.
The young man cried bitterly, but he still climbed to the top of the cliff with difficulty as the old man's instructions. On the edge of the cliff, the young man knelt down and kowtowed three times to the endless abyss. Seeing this scene, a sour smell emerged in my heart. Perhaps this is the interpretation of the sacrifice and gain in the world. When I cannot balance the gains and losses, I can only choose to make the gains more than they deserve. This is the choice that I cannot change and the most appropriate choice. Although this choice is a bit cruel,...
For the young man, what he lost was his father, but he fulfilled his father's hope. His father hoped that his son could survive and continue his life. Of course, if it was replaced by another ending, and the two of them died together, then such an ending would definitely not be what the young father wanted to see.
Life is sometimes fragile, and sometimes powerful and amazing. Of course, the premise is to recognize the various things that are included in gain and loss. What is lost is not necessarily lost, and what is gain is not necessarily gain.
Wiping away the tears on the corners of my eyes, I turned my head silently, sighed deeply, and then continued to go on the road. At this time, I realized that a day had passed quietly without realizing it. I felt anxious. Looking at the evening scene under the setting sun, my feet couldn't help but speed up. I secretly cursed myself, what am I doing?
Seeing that the top of Buzhou Mountain is far away, I was still wasting time on the road. After today, there were still four days left. I couldn't imagine whether I could find the gods and seek the elixirs in four days.
Traveling day and night is the only way I can shorten the distance. The soles of my shoes are gradually worn out, and many blood blisters appear under my feet, which makes me grin all the way. However, after the blood blisters are broken, I become numb and don’t feel any pain.
On the morning of the fourth day, I looked up at the top of Buzhou Mountain. Suddenly, in the mist, I saw a huge white palace. I was so excited that I couldn't speak, and tears burst out from my eyes. However, these tears were so happy that I finally saw the top of the mountain. As long as I work harder, I will definitely climb to the top of the mountain for the rest of my time and ask for elixirs for my old mother. For no reason, my spirit kept rushing up, which was a hundred times more energetic than injecting chicken blood.
He smiled, but just as I was about to speed up again, a buzzing sound like thunder suddenly came from my ears.
