Early in the morning, in Qinghe Town, the sky was just dawning, there were no pedestrians on the road, and the people who carried the burden and sold breakfast were already guarding the side of the road at the intersection. It was already late autumn in the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, and the man who was carrying the burden to sell cooking cakes was indeed wearing a thin long shirt, the blue long shirt was a little whitish washed, and the whole body was covered with patches. There was an eight- or nine-year-old boy beside him, who gave him a hand, pulled out some dough from the awakened noodles, kneaded them into dough, and the man rolled out the dough, sprinkled with salt and seasonings and some chopped green onions, and then rolled it out, and a cake embryo was ready, and he threw it into the stove and baked it against the wall of the stove. At this time, no one came to buy breakfast, the man and the boy temporarily stopped the work in their hands, the man wiped his hands with the handkerchief around his waist, and asked the boy next to him, "Mu Sheng, are you hungry?"

The boy nodded, and stretched out towards the stove, for there were no customers, the fire was turned off to a minimum, and the pan on the stove had freshly baked pancakes, so that they would not cool down quickly. The boy's clothes are even more funny, at first glance, they are made of adult clothes, the wide clothes are put on the thin body and look very wolf, and the clothes are also patches and patches, and it is basically impossible to see what color the original cloth is. A pair of straw sandals on his feet, the exposed skin in this cold late autumn, unable to withstand the cold air, is already frozen red.

The man did not take out one of the ready-made baked cakes for breakfast, but took out a black and hard round cake from his bosom and heated it in the stove, poured the water that had been boiled in advance into two cups, and then divided the hot black cake in half, took a piece himself, and gave the boy a piece and began to eat it. The black cake was obviously made of wheat bran, and it was difficult to chew, and it was often swallowed with a mouthful of water, but the boy and the man did not frown because it was difficult to swallow, but looked delicious.

"Uncle, someone is coming. The boy named Mu Sheng was eating bread when he suddenly saw a big man in black walking out of the alley and walking towards the breakfast stall.

"Tofu brain, alas, hot tofu brain, alas......", "Wonton, wonton skin is thin and filling." ”

The uncle also stopped eating the cake and shouted, "Baked cake, big baked cake, five cents each." ”

As soon as the big man came out of the alley, he was drowned out by the shouting at the breakfast stall, and the big man turned a deaf ear to these shouts, walked straight to the cake stall, took out ten copper coins and handed them over, "Give me four cakes, wrap two for me, and pour me a glass of water by the way." ”

Uncle Ma Li handed Da Han two cakes, Mu Sheng also brought warm boiled water to Da Han, Da Han quickly ate the cake and drank water, while quickly stuffing the other two cakes wrapped in oil paper by his uncle into the baggage he carried, when he put the two cakes into the baggage, the water was also drunk and ate a cake. The big man put down the water glass, thanked him, and hurriedly left with another cake in his hand.

Mu Sheng took the water cup and was about to wash it, when he suddenly found that a book had fallen from the place where the big man was standing just now, thinking that it had fallen from the bag when the big man had just put the cake. Mu Sheng picked up the book from the ground and looked at the place where the big man walked, but there was no trace of the big man for a long time, the road in Qinghe Town was complicated, and there were many forks in the road, and the big man turned a corner and had nowhere to find it.

Mu Sheng looked at the book, the color was black and yellow, and it looked like an old book, but the paper was very good, and it was very tough to the touch. Mu Sheng flipped through the book casually, but couldn't help but be interested in this book, there were some villains painted on the book, which he had never seen in the books he had read before.

"Uncle, it's the book that the uncle dropped. ”

"Put it under your burden first, and the man will be found in a moment." ”

Mu Sheng is a child of a poor family in Qinghe Town, his mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to his younger brother, but the younger brother gave birth. After the death of the mother, the family that was not rich suddenly became more difficult, and when the mother was alive, she could still rely on the female red craft to make up some change for the family, but when the mother left, Mu Sheng, Mu Sheng's sister Mu Liang, and Mu Sheng's younger brother Mu Xian, the three children of eating, drinking, and Lazar all fell on the father's head. Although her sister Mu Liang could also help with some housework, after all, she was only an eight or nine-year-old girl at that time, and she didn't play much role in the family. My father said that he was going to go outside to make money, but as soon as he left, there was no news, and his grandfather was so angry that he fell seriously ill.

Mu Sheng's grandfather was admitted to Xiucai when he was young, and he wanted to achieve better results, and he had no intention of marrying only the book of sages, in order to get fame in the Beijing Division, he sold a few acres of land handed down by his ancestors into a plate and spent it on the road, and he failed to pass the exam three times in a row, and finally died of this heart, married a wife and taught in the town. Because he got married late, he had children late, and his wife died of illness when his son was five years old. Mu Sheng's father is his old son, and he is the only son, and he refuses to let him eat, so he pinned his young dream on his son's body, hoping that his son can take the test for fame, who knows that his son is the same as him, and he just took the test to show talent, except for reading and writing articles, he can't do anything, and he is extremely lazy, and he never does the manual work of farming and planting vegetables, which is worse than him. In desperation, the old man Mu had no choice but to quit his job at a private school, retired early and let his son replace him, and cultivated a few thin plots of land to grow some melons, fruits and vegetables before and after his home for the family to eat, and by the way, he wrote some couplets for other people's weddings and funerals to earn some pocket money. Mu Sheng's father didn't say hello this time, and suddenly quit his job and ran away, how could he not make the old man half angry. The old man is also old, and he is no longer suitable for teaching, not to mention that because there is only this private school in the town, the old man has no face to go again when this happens.

Mu Sheng's father left, the whole family suddenly fell into a predicament, sister Mu Liang is girl is inconvenient to show up, not to mention that there are a lot of housework in the family, she needs to take care of it, and the younger brother is still young and needs someone to take care of it, but only with a few thin fields planted by his grandfather and sporadic income from selling words, it is impossible to maintain family expenses. Mu Sheng's uncle's family was also very poor, the family was a town resident and had no land, but only some vegetable gardens in front of and behind the house. My uncle also has three children in the family, younger than Mu Sheng, and my aunt is very diligent, but the craftsmanship of the female celebrity is not as good as that of Mu Sheng's mother, so she can only rely on spinning and weaving to subsidize some of the family, but how many people in Qinghe Town will come to buy it? Mu Sheng's uncle can barely maintain the life of the whole family by relying on the skill of making baked cakes. But Mu Sheng's family has to help him now, so his uncle asked Mu Sheng to learn to make baked cakes with him, and took care of his meals twice a day.

When it came to Mu Sheng's generation, his grandfather did not force him to take the test to gain any fame, and for the sake of the family's livelihood, all the books that could be sold at home had been sold out, and only a copy of "Kindergarten Qionglin" was left as an enlightenment book for children's literacy that was not sold, so Mu Sheng really read very few books, and even more so books with pictures like this.

A month has passed, and they have not seen the big man who lost the book come back to look for it, but Mu Sheng and the others were afraid that the big man would come back to find the lost book, so they took the book to the cooking cake stand every day, carrying the burden and walking with them everywhere. Mu Sheng has carefully read this book, and asked his grandfather for the words he didn't understand, although his grandfather knew every word in the book, but the meaning of the combination was not clear to his grandfather. Mu Sheng listened to his grandfather and deduced that this book lost by the big man may be a book for exercising martial arts, but Mu Sheng looked at the text and compared the pictures, looking left and right how to look at this book does not look like a martial arts book, the villain painted in the book does not attack every move, what is drawn and written is how to twist his body into strange shapes, such as the head from the middle of the legs to the back, shrinking the body into a ball, etc., and when doing these actions, it must be matched with a specific breathing posture, which is called guiding Tuna. This strange book has an exaggerated name called "The Law of No Death", and on the first page of the book is a poem written in cinnabar:

"There is no door on the road, there is a road in a thousand differences; ”
