After a long time passed when no sound was heard at all, Ji Yuan suddenly leaned against the mountain **** statue and lost all strength, and more sweat was shed freely.
The energy he had just spent was like running five-kilometer cross-country several times in college. Now Ji Yuan has no strength to move a finger and is just panting against the mountain statue like a dead dog.
This situation made Zhang Shilin and others a little overwhelmed. They were originally rejoicing that they were still alive, but now they panicked.
“Master, master, are you okay?”
“Water…”
“Water, water, water!! Get some water for Master!!”
Zhang Shilin and the other merchants were in a hurry, taking towels and bamboo cups, while others were fanning Ji Yuan with their clothes.
“The water is here, the water is here, Master, drink it!!”
Zhang Shilin originally wanted to hand the bamboo tube to Ji Yuan, but when he found that the other person was just panting and not raising his hand, he carefully brought the bamboo tube to Ji Yuan’s mouth and tilted it.
“Gulu…Gulu…Gulu…”
After a while of binge drinking, Ji Yuan had had enough. Zhang Shilin was still nervous and refused to let go, but now his mouth was blocked by the bamboo tube and his hands and feet were weak.
‘Damn, you have some sharp eyesight! ! ! ’
Ji Yuan had no choice but to hold his breath and shut up. When he saw the water pouring out, Zhang Shilin realized that the master didn’t want to drink anymore and hurriedly removed the bamboo tube.
“Hiss…hoo…”
Ji Yuan let out a long breath and felt relieved.
Zhang Shilin and other traveling merchants breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, and then suddenly remembered something, and Zhang Shilin knelt down directly in front of Ji Yuan.
Other merchants saw this and followed suit.
“Thank you, Master, for saving my life. Thank you, Master, for your life-saving grace. I kowtow to you, kowtow to you!!!”
“Thank you, Master, for saving us!!” “Thank you, Master…”
The remaining eight merchants kowtowed loudly and were not just pretending.
This kowtow Ji Yuan is very embarrassed. He is embarrassed to be bowed to at such an age, let alone kowtowed by so many people.
“Get up quickly, stop kowtowing, it would be great if you don’t blame me for not being able to save Wang Dong and the others…”
This is what Ji Yuan said in his heart. In his previous life, he had seen many incidents of enmity and enmity over rice. Instead of letting the merchants think about the changes in their minds, it would be better to figure it out first.
Sure enough, the traveling merchants were stunned as soon as this was said. They looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
They didn’t have the guts to admit this, but that didn’t mean they didn’t think so. In fact, even Zhang Shilin thought that if the master had taken action earlier, Wang Dong and Jin Shunfu would not have died.
The silence of these businessmen confirmed Ji Yuan’s guess. He was not Huang Laoxie. He liked to go his own way and torture himself. To do good deeds, you don’t necessarily need others to always think of your good deeds, but he also didn’t want to leave misunderstandings in people’s hearts.
Ji Yuan thought a little too much, what if some of these people looked back and became more and more angry, what if the families of the deceased were always angry, maybe they were afraid that the tiger would blame him.
“It’s not that I didn’t want to save those four people just now. It’s because I didn’t have the skills to save them just now. You also heard what the tiger spirit said. How can it be easy to turn death into life? When the evil spirit came , I am at a critical moment, unable to move!”
Anyway, if you make it up once, it’s just making it up. It doesn’t matter if you make it up twice. Ji Yuan is just making up nonsense, and he plans to make it more serious.
“In order to save you, I did not hesitate to expend my own skills to break out of the trap. Unfortunately, the four people have left. In this state, I am lucky to be able to save you!!”
Combined with Ji Yuan’s current state, these words are still very convincing, making Zhang Shilin and others feel ashamed.
“Hey, be more careful from now on. It’s not normal for you to meet a handsome scholar or a beautiful woman in the deep mountains and forests at night.”
Ji Yuan’s sincere words were not only addressed to the merchants, but they were also a reminder to himself.
“Thank you, master, for your teaching, thank you, master for your teaching!!” “Thank you, master!”
“Master, are you hungry? We still have some food.”
“Don’t forget about the master before the master and the latter after the master, I still call you sir…”
Ji Yuan feels that the word “master” seems to be regarded as a magic stick by others, and it is not as appropriate as the word used by the tiger spirit Lu Shanjun.
As for eating, although he knows that he is very weak now, he really has no appetite.
That night, even though they knew the danger was far away, no one dared to sleep, except Ji Yuan who was too tired. He swore that he was just too tired to lie down and take a rest, but fell asleep in a few seconds.
. . .
At dawn the next day, the merchants who had been frightened all night could no longer sit still and got up one after another to leave.
Zhang Shilin and others took out all the luggage of the other four people and put them into their own backpacks. The empty backpacks were placed under their own backpacks.
“Hey… Xiaodong is gone, how can I explain to Uncle Wang…”
“Yes, Lao Jin has two children at home… Now… ah…”
“Liu Quan and Li Gui have not yet married, they are young…”
“Let’s help you more in the future!”
“Yes, this is the only way…”
The foot traders sighed. Because it was dawn, their fear had eased a lot, and the atmosphere was a little sad.
Zhang Shilin walked behind the mountain **** statue. The master was still sleeping soundly. He was covered with a piece of clothing and a raincoat, which Zhang Shilin and the others had put on after Ji Yuan fell asleep.
As expected of a master, no one dared to sleep last night and even held back their urine. Only the bold ones who were masters could sleep soundly.
“Master, Mr…., Mr. Ji, we are leaving. What are your plans, sir?”
Ji Yuan was very tired and vaguely heard someone calling him.
“Sir, we are leaving. Do you have any instructions? Sir…”
“Hey…don’t bother me…are you bothering me…”
In his sleep, Ji Yuan scratched the itching on his face with one hand and waved his hand like shooing away flies.
“Shilin, don’t disturb Mr. sleep!!”
“Yes, Zhang Tou, sir, I’ve been living here for a month! Let’s go down the mountain as soon as it’s dawn!”
“Brother Shilin, sir, we are all chasing people away, let’s leave quickly!”
Zhang Shilin originally wanted to say goodbye in person, and it would be best to ask for some amulet or something, but now he doesn’t dare to disturb him anymore.
After hesitating for a moment, he took out a bag of dry biscuits and steamed buns and a bamboo tube filled with water, and carefully placed them next to the statue of the mountain god.
“Let’s kowtow to Mr. before we leave!”
“Yes.” “That makes sense!” “Okay!”
A group of merchants and Zhang Shilin gathered around one side of the mountain, knelt down and kowtowed twice to the sleeping Ji Yuan.
“Dong dong dong dong…”
“What a noise…”
Ji Yuan turned over and cursed.
“Oh, Mr. Oops, he’s angry!! Go, go, go!!” “Go, go!!!!”
“Hey, wait for me.” “Shh, keep your voice down!!!”
…
The travelers hurriedly packed their backpacks and left this thrilling mountain temple. They secretly decided in their hearts that they would never take the Niokui Mountain road again.
. . .
At three o’clock in the morning, Ji Yuan in the temple stretched himself and woke up.
“Hooah…I slept…so comfortable!!!”
The surroundings seemed a little too quiet. Ji Yuan rubbed his eyes and looked around. Although his vision was very blurry, he could tell that it was dawn, but he felt something was wrong.
Wait! ! Where are people? Where have all the people gone! ! !
Holy shit! ! Zhang Shilin, who was stabbed a thousand times, you **** left me behind! ! ! !
