The sky is high and cool, the moon stars are scarce, and under the cold moonlight, there are occasionally a few cicadas chirping, making this cool morning even more silent.

At this time, a teenager in the courtyard of Chen's Mansion was tying up a horse in the yard, although he was still a little young, but it could be seen that he had a stable chassis and a certain foundation for horse steps.

"Yan'er, a person who learns martial arts, the foundation is the most important, if you can't lay a solid foundation, no matter how subtle the moves are, it will be in vain. It is necessary to know that thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, and this Zama step is the foundation of the foundation, and if the foundation is not strong, there is no way to talk about martial arts. ”

"The martial arts realm is divided into the refining realm, the qi realm, the sea gathering realm, and the condensing pill realm, the vast majority of the martial artists in this world are in the refining realm, you are now in this realm, if you don't lay a solid foundation, then if you want to refine the true qi and enter the qi realm, it is simply wishful thinking, so you ......" A man paced back and forth in front of the child with his hands behind his back, chattering like a teacher.

"Okay Dad, how many years have you been saying these things? ”

The boy yawned as he opened his mouth, saying that since he had been practicing martial arts, his father had been nagging these words so often that his ears were almost calloused when he heard them.

As soon as the man heard the child say this, he suddenly stopped, his face turned dark, and he pointed to the child's nose and scolded with a smile: "Hey, little rabbit, you still think I'm annoying, don't you, if you can practice martial arts seriously every morning, I'll say it over and over again, just you are lazy, let alone the Gathering Sea Realm, I see that you have a hard time entering the Qi Transformation Realm! Also, be serious, don't doze me off here! I'll go prepare breakfast." ”

With that, the man turned and left.

"Got it~"

The child replied casually in a long voice, and his father said these similar words every morning, and he was very impatient to listen to them.

Time is like water, flowing slowly, in a blink of an eye, the waning moon sets in the west, the golden crow rises in the east, and the child finally returned to the house after a morning of horse walking, and had breakfast with his father Chen Lei.

"Yan'er, I still have something to go to the city lord, you can rest for a while after eating, and then go to the courtyard to practice the basic swordsmanship I taught you, and lay a good foundation for learning "Ask Dao Sword" in the future, you know. ”

Chen Lei put down the dishes and chopsticks and admonished, and then went out of the door to his room, planning to change his clothes and go to the city lord's mansion, after all, he is also the governor of Wuyang City, so he can't go out in a white coat, this is really unseemly.

After a while, Chen Lei changed his clothes and walked out, only to see him with horizontal eyebrows and tiger eyes, ape arms and leopard body, wearing a black robe on his sturdy body, a tiger outlined with silver silk thread on the robe, and a long sword on his waist, the whole person looked very heroic.

"Yan'er, practice the swordsmanship I taught you, don't be lazy!"

After Chen Lei told Chen Yan, he left the Chen Mansion and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.

"Okay, don't be verbose, I promise to practice my sword well. ”

Chen Yan looked at his father who went out and replied loudly, his words were full of seriousness, as if he was going to practice martial arts for a while, but what he thought in his heart was unknown.

Seeing that his father went out and walked away, Chen Yan muttered in a low voice: "Practice a fart, go to the street, and eliminate food." ”

After saying that, he slowly got up and walked out, and when he arrived at the door, he closed the door of the mansion casually, turned around and left the Chen mansion.

Wuyang City, where Chen Yan lives, has many villages and towns under its jurisdiction, and as a central city, it is naturally extremely prosperous, and the entire commercial street is full of people, so it is not lively.

As soon as Chen Yan came here, he was like a fish in the sea, scurrying around.

"Rock sugar gourd~"

"Yaki ~ Freshly baked Yaki ~ "

"Grilled ~ Kebab"

"Pears, who wants pears"

Chen Yan, who was walking on the street, had a rock sugar gourd in his left hand and a meat skewer in his right hand, eating happily, looking here and there, picking a place with a lot of people, and after a while, Chen Yan walked to a stall selling groceries.

This stall is different from other stalls, but seeing that the stall owner did not stand up and shout loudly, but lay on his back on the recliner like a puddle of mud, an old pu fan covered his face, a gray kaftan was slightly shabby, a pair of broken shoes hung on his feet to expose his big toes, the whole person looked sloppy, but he had a different temperament, Chen Yan was attracted by it when he saw the stall owner, and involuntarily stopped in front of the stall to look.

"Uncle, what is this?

Chen Yan suddenly pointed to a box and asked.

As soon as the stall owner heard that someone was there, he stood up slowly, his slightly obese figure showed a bit of naivety, and then looked in the direction pointed by Chen Yan, only to see a slender black necklace lying in the box: "What kind of eyes do you have, this is a necklace." ”

"Hey, uncle is kidding. ”

Chen Yan smiled, of course he knew that this was a necklace, he just wanted to arouse this stall owner, this stall owner looked very different, he would want to chat with the other party for a while, so Chen Yan then asked his doubts: "But this thing is so dark, does anyone want it?"

The stall owner stretched out his left hand behind his back and scratched it, shook the fan twice with his right hand, and then grinned: "This thing has been here for more than a year, and no one really buys it." ”

"But don't underestimate it, I don't know what this thing is made of, although it is pitch black, it is not dark, it shines slightly under the sun, and the knife is constantly chopping, the fire does not melt, the dust does not stain, the dirt does not stain, it is very powerful. ”

Chen Yan saw that the stall owner said that this chain was so magical, and naturally his face was full of disbelief: "It's really fake, uncle, it's so powerful?

When the stall owner saw Chen Yan asking, he replied with a smile: "That's not true, but it's true that this chain won't be dirty, I haven't cleaned it since I took it back, and it's still as clean as new, and you won't suffer a loss if you buy it back." ”

"Cut, so you want me to buy it, but this chain is pretty good, how much does it cost? ”

As he spoke, Chen Yan picked up the necklace and planned to take a closer look.

When the stall owner saw that Chen Yan wanted to buy it, he was immediately happy, rubbed his hands and said, "Hehe, it's not expensive, only twenty copper coins." ”

"What! Twenty copper coins, you want to go crazy for money! One copper coin, if you don't sell it, if you don't sell it, I'll leave. ”

After speaking, Chen Yan put the necklace back, although he had some pocket money, but he was not stupid, how could he spend twenty copper coins to buy such a useless thing.

"Hey, you're too the price, you have to give me ten copper coins anyway!"

The stall owner looked at Chen Yan and twitched the corners of his mouth, where did anyone lower the price so much.

"There is a small ring on your necklace, you can see that there is a lack of something, it is obviously a defective product, whether the two copper coins are sold or not, if you don't sell them, I will leave." ”

After speaking, Chen Yan waited for the stall owner's reply.

"Five copper coins, no less. ”

The stall owner looked at Chen Yan with a bitter face, wanting to discuss it with Chen Yan again.

"Nope!"

After saying that, Chen Yan turned around and left, without looking back, although he had just tried it secretly, the necklace was indeed extremely strong, but it was useless, how could he buy it for five copper coins.

"Hey, hey, come back, just two copper coins, deal!"

When the stall owner saw that Chen Yanzhen was gone, he slapped the table and hurriedly stayed and called Chen Yan back.

"Cut, profiteers. ”

Chen Yan glanced at the stall owner with disdain, left two copper coins and left with the necklace.

Chen Yan, who was walking on the street, sighed while wearing the necklace around his neck, these days there are profiteers everywhere, a necklace dares to sell twenty copper coins, it is really unancient, Chen Yan looked at the stall owner's extraordinary temperament, and thought that he was a master, but it turned out to be a profiteer, looking at the appearance of the stall owner, it is estimated that even if he gives a copper coin, the stall owner will sell it.

"Ah Yan, Ah Yan......"

Hearing someone call him, Chen Yan turned his head and saw a young man running towards him, only to see him with silkworm eyebrows and eyes, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and he was extremely strong.

The name of the person is Lei Yan, he has played with Chen Yan since he was a child, the two are not brothers but they are closer than brothers, but this Lei Yan is older than Chen Yan and looks strong, and he has always wanted Chen Yan to be his little brother.

"Fat Lei, what's the matter, what are you telling me to do. ”

"Your eldest brother, I'm not fat, I'm strong!"

Lei Yan retorted angrily.

Then he put his arms around Chen Yan's neck and said, "I got a good thing, I bought all the spices, and I was going to your house to look for you, but I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

"What?"

Chen Yan was immediately interested when he heard that there was food, he and Lei Yan were both delicious, but Chen Yan belonged to the kind of person who didn't grow meat just by eating, and Lei Yan was getting stronger the more he ate.

"Outside the city, take a walk, I'll take you. ”

After speaking, Lei Yan pulled Chen Yan and ran out of the city.

After about ten minutes, the two arrived at a small river outside the city, where they often barbecued.

"Look, dog meat, it's good! Let's stew it for a while, it's absolutely delicious." ”

Lei Yan grabbed a dog from the dirt pit and said with a greedy expression.

Chen Yan looked at it a few times, and saw that the dog was more than a foot long, drooping his ears, and his short earthy yellow hair added a bit of cuteness, and his eyes looked at Chen Yan, as if there were tears in his eyes, as if he knew his fate.

"Hey, Fat Thunder, where did you come from this dog?"

"Oh, I went out for a stroll this morning and found it on the street. ”

Lei Yan was busy lighting a fire, and when he heard Chen Yan ask, he replied casually.

"Fat Lei, you see that this dog is so small, and there are not a few taels of meat in total, why don't we let it go." ”

Seeing the tears in the eyes of this little yellow dog, Chen Yan felt a little unbearable in his heart.

"What! Let it go, then what are we going to eat?" Lei Yu's face was full of surprise: "Besides, you also said that it is still small, and it will not be able to live if you let it go, and sooner or later you will have to starve to death, it is better to sacrifice the five internal organs temple of the two of us, although you can't eat enough, but you can finally satisfy your hunger." ”

Chen Yan saw that Lei Yan was determined to eat, and he didn't say too much, but directly picked up the puppy and pointed the dog's head at Lei Yan.

The dog head suddenly arrived in front of Lei Yan's eyes, and he was so shocked by such a close distance that he hurriedly took two steps back, and looked at Chen Yan with wide eyes: "What are you doing?"

"Look at its eyes, there are tears in them, can you bear to eat them?"

Chen Yan stared at Lei Yan's eyes and asked.

Lei Yan was stunned for a moment and didn't speak, then sat down, and after a while, he asked, "Then what do you say?" ”

"I want to raise it. ”

Chen Yan's answer was simple but firm.

Lei Yan asked in a staggered manner, "Then what am I doing?"

Chen Yan looked at Lei Yan and rolled his eyes: "What's the matter, you still want me to raise you!"

"Fuck off, I'm still hungry, I ask you what's wrong with my stomach. I told you to come and eat, but you lost my things, no, you have to invite me to dinner. ”

Lei Yan's eyes widened at Chen Yan, the delicious food he had finally found was actually made by Chen Yan in two or three sentences, although the little yellow dog was indeed pitiful, but this was not the reason for Chen Yan to repay the debt.

"Okay, let's go, take you to Fumanlou, it's time for lunch. ”

Chen Yan smiled and agreed.

"Wang, Wang. ”

The little yellow dog seemed to know that he had been rescued, and he stuck out his tongue excitedly and kept wagging his tail.

"The little thing is quite spiritual. ”

Lei Yan looked at the little yellow dog in surprise, and Chen Yan was also a little surprised.

"I'm going to give it a name!"

Chen Yan looked at the little yellow dog with a serious face.

Lei Yan's eyes lit up and said, "It's better to call it stew." ”

"Get out. ”

"It's okay to call it hot pot, dog meat hot pot. ”

"Hmm~, it's yellow, so let's call it gold. Hahahaha, I'm so talented. ”

Chen Yan looked at the little yellow dog and laughed.

"Cut, it's earthy yellow and not golden, so it's better to call it hot pot." ”

Lei Yan pursed his lips and complained, what kind of broken name did Chen Yan come up with, and it was golden, so vulgar!
