One summer, a day and night of torrential rain fell on the village, causing the water level of the lake to soar and overflow the embankment!
The three naughty children secretly went to the ditch outside the lake to fish, and when the harvest was full, they carried a bag of fish home along the lake's path. The child who wanted to walk on the back slipped and stumbled into the water.
When the two people in front heard the sound of falling into the water, they quickly turned around and found that the child who fell into the water was screaming in horror, choking and struggling in the water, but they couldn't swim, and their bodies sank little by little!
The two children were so scared that they were at a loss. They were stunned for a while before they remembered that they were going to save someone, but they couldn't reach their outstretched hands, so they quickly ran home and called for someone.
But this time, it was gone in more than 20 minutes.
When the child's parents and several neighbors came to the lake in panic, there was still a trace of a figure on the turbid lake.
The child has been drowning for so long. Everyone knows that there is no possibility of survival, but to live to see people, to die to see corpses!
The child's father and his neighbors who had been swimming for a while, immediately jumped into the lake and began diving for people, leaving behind the crying mother and several other worried neighbors.
Coincidentally, someone was passing by the lake with a hoe!
Passing by was an old man, Second Master Sun. Second Master Sun was over sixty years old, but his body was still strong, he went out early and returned late every day, planting that one-third acre of land!
When Master Sun saw someone crying, he hurriedly came over to ask what had happened. When he heard that a child had fallen into the water, he immediately threw his hoe and took off his shoes. He muttered a few words that no one understood, and then jumped into the water, splashing with waves.
At this time, the two people who had dived underwater came out to breathe. The child's father's eyes were red and his face was watery. He couldn't tell which was the tears and which was the water!
After taking a deep breath, the child's father plunged into the water again!
The people on the shore watched the two breathe and sink, going back and forth several times, and suddenly someone noticed something was wrong and slapped their thighs!
What about this Second Sun Master?
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and shook their heads to show that they were not looking. At the same time, they suddenly realized that this Second Master Sun had never seen him come out to change his breath since he was in the water!
Everyone stared at the water without squinting. It was impossible for one person to be dazzled in the clear sky and daylight. The rest of them didn't notice, right?
How could a person hold their breath underwater for so long after ten minutes? Think about it, this Second Master Sun probably also encountered an accident!
The child's mother wiped away her tears and her cries grew louder. Before the child was fished out, Second Master Sun had another accident. Although Second Master Sun did not let him into the water, Second Master Sun did it to help his family find the child.
The child's mother cried and hurriedly told the two people in the water, shouting to save Second Master Sun!
The lake is not small, and the water is deep and turbid, which also increases the difficulty of rescue.
Time passed by again, minute by minute. Just as everyone was looking forward to it and waiting impatiently, a head suddenly popped out of the water where the lake came out, and the gray hair was particularly conspicuous in the sun.
"Second Master Sun!" Seeing this, one of them immediately cried out in disbelief.
The rest of the people looked at one another. Who else could it be if it wasn't Second Master Sun? Seeing that the person was fine, everyone finally put down their hearts.
Second, Master Sun raised his hand to wipe the lake water on his face, hugged the child with one hand, paddled with the other, and swam quickly to the shore!
When the two people in the lake saw the rescued child, they quickly followed and helped Second Master Sun bring the child to the shore.
The parents of the child held the pale-faced child, heartbroken! Regret even more for not taking good care of the child.
"After touching the bottom of the water, I finally found that the child was stuck in the silt where the water came out. It was delayed for too long!" Second Master Sun went ashore, shaking his head, very sad.
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Such a big lake, Second Master Sun had already strolled around the bottom of the water?
Seeing that Second Master Sun's face was not red and his breath was not breathless, everyone did not expect that Second Master Sun, who was warm-hearted, was not simple on weekdays. They were all curious about why Second Master Sun had been holding his breath underwater for so long, but it was not the time to ask.
After finishing the funeral for the child, someone asked Second Master Sun, and Second Master Sun thought about it and simply told the matter.
Sun Erye was in the midst of war when he was young, and he was accidentally captured by a strong man. On the way to the front line, he met a strange man.
This strange man is over forty years old, a homeless man, silent and silent, and not welcomed by the strong men who are with him.
Second, Master Sun did not know where the rest of them were superior. They were all cannon fodder who went to the front line. Maybe one day they will die on the road and look down on others.
It was estimated that the homeless man saw that Second Master Sun was kind-hearted, and slowly began to talk more. At this time, Second Master Sun knew that the homeless man was caught to make up the number. There were not enough strong men, so he could only find homeless men and beggars to make up for it. The homeless man slept in the broken temple, and he didn't know what happened. When he woke up, he was tied up and filled with the army.
Along the way, countless strong men escaped, very few could escape, and more were caught and beaten to death.
One day, the homeless man came to Second Master Sun and secretly asked, "Little brother, do you want to leave?"
Second Master Sun believed the homeless man, and immediately nodded and said, "How can you not think about it, not to mention that those who died of illness along the way or were beaten to death, once they went to the front line, they would almost die!"
But in order to prevent the strong men from escaping, the escort officer thought of every way. During the day, he used ropes to string the strong men together like beads, and at night, he didn't give them enough food. He stripped everyone's clothes and took them away to strengthen the guard.
If he wanted to escape, it would be difficult. Once he was caught, he would have to be beaten to death.
The homeless man smiled, "Since I escaped, I must be sure, and I can't joke about my own life!" After saying that, he attached himself to Second Master Sun's ear and slowly began to mutter.
After hearing this, Second Master Sun's face was full of doubt. The homeless man recited a formula and asked him to practice holding his breath every morning. What's the use?
But on second thought, after getting along for such a long time, the homeless man is also reliable at doing things for people, unlike fooling himself, so he nodded and agreed.
After a few more days, Second Master Sun was able to memorize the formula, and the time to hold his breath satisfied the homeless.
One night, the homeless man pulled the Second Master Sun and said, "There are mountains and water here, and the vegetation is lush. I see that many people are eager to move, and we will leave tonight."
Second Master Sun looked at the two naked and only wore a pair of underpants, and said worriedly, "I'm so hungry, I'm afraid I won't be able to run far, I can't escape!"
"Definitely no problem!" The homeless man patted his chest and promised.
Seeing that Second Master Sun was still hesitating, the homeless man said again, "To tell you the truth, the formula I gave you is for escaping. Now is a great time."
When Second Master Sun heard this, it turned out that the homeless man had already planned, so he bit his teeth and said, "Okay, listen to you!"
That night, as expected, many strong men escaped. Second, Master Sun and the homeless man took advantage of the chaos and chose the right time to flee to the east.
Who knew that after running for a long time, he heard someone behind him shouting that two more people had run away, and then a few people behind him shouted and chased after him. The two were scared to death, and they knew the consequences of being caught back. They ran on the dark mountain road naked and desperate, and their feet kept hurting.
The two of them ran for a while, hungry, and their speed began to slow down. Their legs were like lead, and they watched the people behind them get closer and closer.
Second Master Sun was anxious and wanted to ask, wasn't that formula used when running away? Why didn't it work after repeating it several times?
Just as Second Master Sun was about to ask, the homeless man shouted excitedly, "Here we are, here we are, quickly chant the spell and go into the water!"
Second Master Sun looked up and saw that under the hazy moonlight, there was a sparkling lake in front of him.
The homeless man recited the formula, took a deep breath, and jumped into the water first with a plop. Second Master Sun finally knew what the formula was for, and did not dare to delay time. He quickly finished reading it and followed closely behind.
After a while, the two hid in the water and watched a few people come to the lake. They started searching along the lake with torches. The two hid under water and were terrified all the time.
The people above searched back and forth several times, and it took more than an hour. In the end, they didn't find any figures of the two, and finally left with a curse.
The two people who were afraid to search came back to the carabiner, and stayed underwater for a long time. After confirming that there was no one, they came out of the water and went ashore.
After surviving the disaster, Second Master Sun felt like a dream. He couldn't believe that he really escaped, and he couldn't believe that he could stay underwater for so long.
At this time, Sun Erye knew that this homeless man who did not show the mountains and dew was a strange person, and he was very grateful to him.
The homeless man seemed to have seen through the Second Master Sun's thoughts and chuckled, "I only know how to do things by the side. If I really have the ability, how can I be caught strong!"
"My family has been fishermen for generations and relies on fishing for a living. How could I think that the continuous war has caused me to leave my hometown and run for my life?"
Second Master Sun shook his head and sighed, deeply convinced that in this chaotic world, human life is really like mustard, and it is bitter for the common people.
The two walked together all the way, and after a few days, the homeless man suddenly told Sun Erye to part ways.
Second Master Sun was shocked and asked, "Brother, you have no home, so why don't you go to my place!"
The homeless man shook his head, "The fallen leaves have to return to their roots. They have been out for so many years. After thinking about it, it is better to go back to the river where I was born and raised!"
When he left, the homeless man told Second Master Sun, "Remember not to spread the formula indiscriminately, let alone use it to do bad things, you will be punished by God."
Second Master Sun nodded, indicating that he had written it down.
The homeless man left, and Second Master Sun also returned to the village without danger. After the war ended, none of the strong men who were arrested in the same village came back. I am afraid that all of them have died in their hometowns.
Second Master Sun has always been grateful to the homeless man from the bottom of his heart, and I don't know if he will go back in the end!
In the days to come, Second Master Sun never told anyone about this until he wanted to save the child.
Later, Second Master Sun did not pass on this formula until his death, including his own children. Second Master Sun lived so old, how could he not know that people's hearts were unpredictable!
