Chapter 1 Helping Others
Yan Shan is located in the territory of the province of Ha and is one of the famous mountain ranges in the north. Since ancient times, it has been a north-south traffic channel.
It also has a very important position in strategy, and in ancient and modern wars, it is often a battleground for soldiers.
The Yanshan mountain range is steep. The terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. The north is gentle and the south is steep, the valley is narrow, the surface is broken, and there are many rain cracks and gullies. It is divided into two sections, east and west, with the Chaohe River as the boundary.
The eastern section is lush with vegetation, shrubs and weeds, and a vast forest area, while the western section is mostly medium and low mountainous areas.
It is also under the protection of such natural features and geographical environment. In order to be on the mountain of more than 1,000 meters, the ancient Taoist temple is still retained.
The Taoist temple is divided into two halls before and after, and the tile houses around the Laojun Hall seem to be a little crooked, and if it is not repaired, it will not take a few years.
But under the tiled eaves there are a few newly moved swallows, chirping and building their nests. And in the corner of the dilapidated wall, those mosses also look extraordinarily green. A ray of sunlight shines on the faded Taoist temple gate.
I saw that a gap was opened on one side of the door from the inside, and a small round head poked out of it.
"Today, Shizun went to the back mountain to collect medicine, but I can get a chance to go down the mountain. A child dressed as a Taoist boy looked around and read the Tao in his mouth.
I have lived in Qingyunguan for ten years, and I have never come down the mountain to see, and I am almost suffocated. Take advantage of this God-given opportunity, I have to see what the tiger looks like. ”
can recall what Shizun said to himself since he was a child, "There are man-eating tigers under the mountain, which is very dangerous." For a child as big as you, a tiger can eat you without a single bone in one bite. ”
Although he didn't know the bottom in his heart, Daotong still crooked his mouth, "It's really an old liar, this kind of scaring children, I have been talking about it since I was five years old, isn't it just not to let me go down the mountain?"
And I'll just go down the mountain to play for a while, Shizun shouldn't be back so soon. As long as the master comes back, just rush back to the temple. ”
But as soon as Dao Tong stepped out of the gate of the Taoist Temple, he patted his little head and shouted.
"Ahh I forgot that when the master left the mountain before, he told me to copy the Tao Te Ching a hundred times. Alas, no matter what. It's never too late to come back and write. I have read this book since I was a child, and I can memorize it backwards.
I don't know what's the use of having me copy so many times. Did you run out of paper for the toilet again? Won't the master get hemorrhoids if he wipes his butt with the paper I copied from the scriptures?"
With this kind of complaint, Dao Tong only dared to whisper a few times in a no-man's land. It didn't take long for the Taoist boy to trot all the way down the mountain without hesitation, passing through the mountain paths, and the shrubs and wildflowers on both sides quickly passed behind him.
I ran to the mountainside in one breath, panting and looking at the village at the foot of the mountain, watching the smoke rise from the stove. It proves the beginning of a hard day for the villagers.
Dao Tong was excited in his heart, in the ten years of living in Qingyunguan, he had never come into contact with anyone other than Shizun. After calming down his excitement, Daotong picked up the small branches on the side of the road and waved them at will, and continued to walk along the foot of the mountain playfully.
In the distance, I saw a paper kite in the shape of an eagle. Slowly rising towards the clouds, Dao Tong couldn't help but feel new when he looked at it, and unconsciously walked in that direction.
As it approached, the paper kite swooped down into the grass, and the boy hurried in the direction to see what was going on.
I saw four and a half children scuffling and rolling around, as if there was some kind of dispute.
Dao Tong stood in the distance, looking at these children curiously, they were rolling on the grass on the hillside, and there was a lot of mud on their bodies. Live like a little beggar.
As if aware that someone was watching them, several children stopped, and among them, three eleven or twelve-year-old children stood up and looked at Daotong.
On the other side, I saw a slightly chubby child sitting on the ground crying unrelentingly. One of the three children stepped forward and pointed at Dao Tong and said. "Where did you come from, still wearing strange clothes.
I'm telling you, don't be nosy. As he spoke, he also stretched out a small hand and shook it vigorously, "Otherwise, be careful that our three heroes of Wang Village will teach you a lesson." ”
Dao Tong looked at the person who spoke, and was stunned for such a shameless performance. The three children who stood up before looked at Dao Tong's expression and thought that Dao Tong was shocked by them.
Laugh at each other's. Unbeknownst to them, Dao Tong was thundered by their shamelessness.
At this moment, Dao Tong couldn't help laughing out loud anymore. "What did you just say? The three shrimps in Wangcun are shrimp in the sea or in the river.
pointed to his eyes again, or did he say that you are three blind people, and even Xiao Daoye dares to bully."
After listening to Dao Tong's ridicule, the three children jumped like thunder and roared at Dao Tong, "Idiot, don't you understand?
Dao Tong used his eyes, skimmed the fat man who was still sitting on the ground, a handful of snot, and a handful of tears, and said to the three people, "Is your so-called chivalrous peerless just three beating one?"
Suddenly, the little kid who had opened his mouth to teach Dao Tong a lesson provoked his exit. "Okay, do you have the guts to fight one-on-one with me".
Dao Tong glanced at him listlessly, "If you don't have the guts, you can go up with the three of you." Seeing that Dao Tong didn't take a few of his own people in his eyes at all, he seemed to be very confident.
couldn't help but look Dao Tong up and down a few times, "You are not allowed to play tricks." Dao Tong snorted coldly and spread his hands, with even more contempt. Seeing this, the provocative young man was even more angry, and rushed towards the Taoist boy.
The fist was punched towards the door of the Dao Tong, and the Dao Tong quickly took a step back, and then raised his leg to kick the comer's stomach.
Because of the provocation of the young man, he swooped too hard and swung his fist with all his might, and when he saw Dao Tong suddenly retreating, his strength was not contained, and he was kicked by the other party with a punch in the air.
Under the unstable center of gravity, his body fell forward and fell to the ground, falling on a big horse.
At this moment, he provoked the young man, curled up in a ball with his hands, and really became a veritable prawn.
When two of the three saw their companion fall to the ground, they stepped forward to help him up, and Daotong did not stop him. And the provocative teenager, who had just been helped up by his companions, shouted hoarsely, "Let's go together." ”
I saw the three of them, and the group surrounded the Dao Tong, but they did not attack. With the experience of the past, they did not dare, and acted rashly. But I couldn't swallow it. Therefore, besiege but not attack, and stand by to move.
But if they don't move, it doesn't mean that Dao Tong doesn't dare to move. "Xiao Dao Ye doesn't have time to play a game with you that you are not allowed to talk or move. Can you stop wasting your time?"
Seeing that the three of them still didn't dare to move, Dao Tong didn't talk nonsense, his legs were wrong, and he raised his legs and kicked out at one of them.
This action, Dao Tong deliberately slowed down, because it was a three-person siege, even if Dao Tong was sure of victory, if he was not careful, he would suffer some skin injuries.
Seeing that Dao Tong raised his leg to kick at one of them, the other party subconsciously dodged. But the other two would not miss the opportunity, and when they saw that someone had attracted firepower, they rushed towards Dao Tong.
Dao Tong raised his leg to kick, deliberately slowing down to create an illusion for the other two people who rushed in. At this time, one person was forced to retreat by the Dao Tong, and the other two attacked the Dao Tong.
Dao Tong raised his leg and kicked out suddenly, and he turned around and kicked out at a strange angle, and a high whip kick kicked into the armpit of a person, and the other party screamed in pain and instantly lost his ability to fight and fell to the ground.
Dao Tong took advantage of the victory and pursued, and before the others could react, he quickly approached another person, grabbed his neck and pushed forward a knee, hit him in the chest, and another person fell to the ground.
In the end, only the child who challenged Dao Tong seemed to be the first of the three children.
Seeing that he was the only one who couldn't be defeated, he provoked the young man to frighten his farts and urine, crying and turning around and running, only hating his parents for not giving him two more legs.
It's no wonder that they haven't seen the world, and children in the mountains fight, either grabbing their hair or choking their necks. How can there be such a way of playing as a Dao Tong, it is simply too professional.
The Taoist boy only removed the dust on the Taoist robe, and was a little proud in his heart. I don't know how long I remembered it, but I noticed that the two people who had just been knocked down by myself were gone.
Only the little fat man who had been bullied before was still sitting on the ground in a daze and looking at Dao Tong with a cute face. Looking at his innocent eyes, there were two big slugs.
Dao Tong was also speechless for a while. However, Dao Tong still pretended to be a master. He cleared his throat and asked, "By the way, what's your name?, who are the three who beat you?, why did the three of them beat you up?" ”
The cute fat man was asked by the Taoist boy like a cannon, and he didn't know where to start when he asked it, and when the cute fat man was looking down and thinking, he saw the tattered paper kite at his feet, and tears burst out of his eyes and cried loudly.
Dao Tong was taken aback by his move. "What's wrong with you. The cute fat man looked at the tattered paper kite and said, "This kite is my birthday."
My father brought it back to me from the city. Dao Tong looked at the paper kite beside the fat man, "What does a man have to wipe his tears, isn't it just a paper kite? I'll make you a new one." The fat man shook his head silently.
At that time, Dao Tong couldn't understand the fat man's sadness at all. Because Dao Tong is an orphan, he has not been loved by his parents, and he has not experienced the feeling of being cared for by his parents.
In fact, the little fat man's sadness is not entirely because the paper kite is rotten, but because the paper kite is his father's love for him.
Seeing that the fat man was silent, Dao Tong began to ask again, "Then what is your name," he said that his name was Huang Yaohu, because his family wanted him to shine on the lintel, and he said that he belonged to the tiger, so he was able to take the name. ”
Dao Tong thought to himself, "Shizun lied to me that there are man-eating tigers under the mountain. This time the tiger saw it, but it was a cute snot tiger," he said without a dumb smile. At this time, I suddenly realized that there was a sad little tiger beside me.
I forced that smile back. Dao Tong began to introduce the fat man. "My name is Xia Yifan, and I live in Qingyunguan in Yanshan. You're a tiger that's two years older than me. I am Gengchen Year (Year of the Dragon), Gengchen Month, Ren Yin was born on the day.
You are also the first friend I met, so I'll call you Fat Tiger." Huang Yaohu, who was still sitting on the ground at the beginning, stood up from the mud with his buttocks, and was dissatisfied with Daotong's correction, "I'm not fat, my name is Zhuangshi",
At this moment, the acquaintance of the two seems to make Xiaohu temporarily forget the sadness just now, which is the case with children.
Xia Yifan pulled Xiaohu's hand, and he didn't dislike the mud on his hands. "Then I'll call you Brother Little Tiger.
We'll be friends from now on." Xiaohu nodded, the two walked to a stream, and Xia Yifan helped Xiaohu clean the mud stains on his body.
"By the way, you haven't told me yet, who those three people are and why they are bullying you", Xiaohu slowly said as he sorted out his messy clothes.
"This is Wangjia Village, and my family is an outsider.
So the surname is Huang, the three of them are my classmates, and the leader is called Wang Xibin, because he has freckles on his face, so he sent Wang Mazi.
The other two, one is named Wang Wanglai, and the other is called Wang Ping, the three of them are well-known children in the village, and they are also a bully in school all day long.
On the one hand, they can't get used to seeing me as an outsider, and they are a little repulsed. On the other hand......
Xiaohu suddenly hesitated in the middle of speaking. Xia Yifan asked, "Why didn't you suddenly say it halfway through", Xiaohu gritted his teeth as if he had made some major decision.
"Since we are friends, I will tell you, the three of them warned me to stay away from Wang Jingya."
