"Wow!"

"Wow!"

It was still early in the morning, the rooster had only crowed three times, the sky had just turned white, and the morning fog had not yet lifted. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the extremely deep courtyard of Dongfang Mansion, there was a commotion.

This is a martial arts family in Guangtingbao of the Purple Han Kingdom, there are three or four hundred people with the surname Dongfang, and the entire Dongfang family is counted, plus the big and small housekeepers and servants, there are only thousands of people.

In the north of Dongfang Mansion, there is a huge courtyard, and the younger generation in Dongfang Mansion has already started a day's morning exercise. Most of them are teenagers, and a few are less than ten years old, and they all look innocent, but they practice very seriously. They were arranged in a regular manner, all dressed in plain clothes. Coupled with the uniform movements, it seems that the whole scene of martial arts practice is not mighty, and it is worthy of a martial arts family.

The commotion that came from the courtyard just now was just the result of everyone practicing martial arts together and their clothes swinging.

Separated from the courtyard by a wall is a stable, and next to the stable, there are several inconspicuous blue brick houses. Although it is much stronger than the earthen houses of other families in Guangtingbao, it is somewhat dilapidated and somewhat incommensurate with the environment of the surrounding Dongfang Mansion.

With a creak, the wooden door in one of the tiled rooms opened, and out of the room came an old man with gray hair.

His legs and feet were not very good, and he walked with a limp. I saw him stretch his waist, look at the sky, and shout into the house.

"Sedum, it's time to get up and feed the horses!"

"Well, Daddy!" replied a crisp child's voice in the room. I saw a boy with a yellow face getting up from a wooden bed. He was covered with an old dark yellow quilt, and he couldn't see his original face, and he still had a faint musty smell. It is said to be a wooden bed, but it is nothing more than a few uneven planks, supported by a few bricks underneath.

He quickly put on his shoes and ran out. He looks like he is about eight or nine years old, his figure is very thin, and his clothes are a little old, but there is a trace of elegance between his eyebrows.

"Sedum, go to the grass house and carry some grass, don't delay!" said the old man to him, and began to feed the horses. The people of Dongfang Mansion are very troublesome, and he has to serve these horses in advance.

"Don't worry, Dad!" Sedum replied. He rubbed his eyes, first rinsed his face with cold water, and then trotted all the way to the grass house.

"Ouch, little ancestor, you run slowly, don't alarm people to practice martial arts. The old man came out of another house, carrying half a sack of soybeans in his hand, and hurriedly shouted to him, for fear that he would cause some trouble.

Since the stables and the thatched huts were on either side of the courtyard, Sedum had to pass through the courtyard to carry the grass. He had long been accustomed to the morning exercise in Dongfang Mansion, so he first leaned on the wall and looked secretly, until everyone turned around, and then dared to sneak out and tiptoe towards the grass house.

"Look, little flower!" someone still saw him.

The Dongfang disciples who were practicing martial arts all turned around in unison and burst out laughing. They hadn't seen a disciple with such a dirty body, like a flower child.

Xu Jingtian was stared at by so many people, and he was suddenly a little overwhelmed.

"Xu Jingtian, Xiao Hua!" a young man of about ten years old, with fair skin, shouted to him.

Xu Jingtian stuck out his tongue at him, this young man's name is Dongfang Sifeng, and he always bullies him.

"Don't call him that, he's our little pony!" Dongfang Sifeng muttered behind a little girl with a ponytail.

Dongfang Sifeng turned his head and grimaced at her, and said, "Just call, just call, who made him dirty and broken!"

"If you scream again, be careful that I tell Daddy!" the little girl pouted and threatened him.

This little girl's name is Dongfang Siyu, and she is the daughter of Dongfang Shanzhan, the head of the head of the sect.

Dongfang Sifeng quickly turned his head, and still whispered in his mouth: "You defend him, if you let me see him with you again, I will break his head!"

"Little flowers, little flowers!" Many Eastern disciples also coaxed. The few who coaxed were always together with Dongfang Sifeng and bullied Xu Jingtian.

Xu Jingtian also saw Dongfang Siyu and beckoned to her, but he didn't hear it. Among these Dongfang disciples, Dongfang Siyu had a better attitude towards him.

At this moment, an angry shout came.

"If you don't practice martial arts, what are you doing?" a man in his thirties, walking steadily, walked into the courtyard.

"It's not good, the sect leader is here!" I don't know who shouted, and everyone hurriedly turned around and continued to practice martial arts.

Xu Jingtian recognized him, this was Dongfang Siyu's father, Dongfang Shanzhan, and he was also the head of Dongfang disciples' martial arts. Xu Jingtian also took the opportunity to hurriedly slip away, and when he walked back, he had a large bundle of weeds on his back, buried his head underneath, and ran to the stable with his head down.

Dongfang Shanzhan saw it, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and whispered to himself: "This kid is a bit similar to his father, Lao Xutou." ”

Xu Jingtian snorted and walked into the stable with the grass on his back, but his father Xu Tou glared at him with a tiger face.

"Trouble again, huh?"

"Dad, did you hear everything?" Xu Jingtian smiled awkwardly and said, "It's okay Dad, I just didn't hear what they called." ”

Lao Xu Tou's heart couldn't help but soften when he heard this, and said: "Child, I blame your father, if I was ...... If it is given to a rich family......" Speaking of this, he seemed to realize something and hurriedly stopped.

"Dad, what are you talking about?" Xu Jingtian was shocked, his hands suddenly loosened, and the grass on his back was scattered everywhere.

"No, nothing?" Old Xu's eyes were slightly red, and his tears were rolling uncontrollably, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him. This child has a hard life, is filial and obedient, if he hadn't followed him, he wouldn't have suffered so much.

Xu Jingtian hurriedly knelt on the ground, pulled the placket of the old Xu Tou's clothes and cried: "Dad, it's all my fault, I will be obedient in the future, and I won't cause trouble for you again, can you not want me to ......" He heard it wrong, thinking that it was the old Xu Tou who wanted to sell him to a rich family.

"Kid, get up. How could Dad not want you?" Old Xu pulled him up. Touching Xu Jingtian's thin bones, Old Xu Tou felt sad for a while, and couldn't help but remember the situation when he picked him up in the first place.

It was one morning ten years ago, in a ravine ten miles away from Guangtingbao, Xu Tou, who was forty years old, was driving his horse back to Guangtingbao.

"Drive, drive!" he said, urging his horse as he looked up at the sky.

It's a sunny day when you go out, but suddenly it's overcast, and the clouds are pressed very low, and heavy rain may fall at any time.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.

It's a small thing to drench his old head, and if he damns the horse, it's not a joke. The Governor's whip could be summoned to him at any moment. If you don't drive the horses out of the valley where the horses are herding before it rains, who knows if you will be in danger. If the horse stumbles and falls off the cliff, it is still unknown whether his old Xu Tou can save his life.

Thinking of this, Lao Xu couldn't help but tremble, and kept urging the horses to gallop towards the top of the hillside.

It's a pity that the sky is not beautiful!

There was a flash of lightning and thunder in the sky, and raindrops the size of soybean grains were sprinkled all over the sky. For a while, the wind and rain were mixed, and the sky was dark,

Old Xu Tou hurried slowly, but he was still one step late. Fortunately, not far away, there is a protruding rock on the other side of the mountain, and there is a temporary shelter from the rain below.

In order to protect the horses, Lao Xu Tou hurriedly turned over and dismounted, took the reins and ran there.

"Ouch!" The mountain road was slippery, and Lao Xu couldn't see the road clearly, and he fell heavily to the ground. The herd of horses that followed closely behind Lao Xu Tou was in confusion, one horse's hoof on his thigh, and one horse's hoof on his chest. Old Xu Tou wanted to stand up, but he couldn't do it, and his bones were about to roll down the mountain.

Fortunately, Lao Xu was in a hurry and held the reins tightly in his hand, so he escaped the catastrophe. Getting up from the ground, Lao Xu spurted out a mouthful of blood, but he didn't bother to check the injury, and hurriedly led the horse up.

"Ahh In order to prevent the horses from being caught in the rain, Lao Xu Tou let the horses hide all under the rocks, while he himself stood on the outside of the rocks.

Finally waited until the wind and rain stopped, and Lao Xu Tou limped to lead the horse up the hill.

What was that?

At this moment, Lao Xu Tou seemed to hear something, much like the cry of a frog.

"Wow, wow!"

But this is the mountain, where do the frogs come from?

"Wow, wow!" the voice came again.

Could it be the cry of a baby? Old Xu Tou was so shocked that he gave up the reins of his horse and limped to find it.

"Wow, wow!" grew louder and louder, clearly a baby's cry. Where did the children come from in these barren mountains and mountains? Don't it be because of this rainstorm, the adults are bad for some accidents.

Old Xu Tou turned from walking to trotting, although there were bursts of pain in his legs, he could still bear it. He can't take care of it so much, if he lets the baby rain on this mountain and freeze for a while, then it's okay, don't you want his life?

Old Xu Tou ran and jogged tightly, and finally found him next to a big rock. The baby was born white and fat, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, a high nose bridge, only wrapped in a thin cloth, and his hands and feet were constantly moving.

Lao Xu Tou hurriedly took off his wet clothes, picked him up, and held him in his arms. Fortunately, there are stones to protect the baby from the rain, and the strips of cloth on his body are still dry, and the old Xu Tou can't help but be secretly surprised.

Depending on the situation, the baby is probably still breastfeeding. Old Xu Tou looked around, where was there still an adult. However, this baby was born very cute, and Lao Xu Tou didn't care about thinking so much, and held it in his arms for a while.

Whoever made himself a domestic slave in Dongfang Mansion, how could he have the money to marry a daughter-in-law, let alone have no heirs.

The baby is also magical, when he saw Lao Xu Tou, he actually stopped crying, his eyes were wide open, and he looked at Lao Xu Tou curiously.

"Thank you, God, fairy, you really opened your eyes!" Lao Xu fell to his knees with a thud, holding the child and kowtowing.

This child must have been given to him by the gods in the sky!

It was God who gave this rain and gave him hope for the rest of his life. If it weren't for this rain, he wouldn't have delayed here, and if it hadn't been for this rain, he wouldn't have picked up the baby, and he would have to thank God and the gods in the sky.

"Click!", and a string of small objects fell out of the baby's wrap.

Old Xu Tou looked down and saw that it seemed to be a string of prayer beads, and he hurriedly picked it up. It's something the baby carries with him, and he must take care of it.

Lao Xu Tou returned to Dongfang Mansion, and the fact that he picked up the baby on the mountain spread in the mansion, and everyone was secretly surprised. Even Dongfang Shanzhan's father, Dongfang Tai, who was the head of the Dongfang family at the time, heard about it.

Dongfang Tai sent someone to call Lao Xu Tou and listen to him explain the matter in detail from beginning to end.

"This baby will be with you from now on, with your surname. After listening to the story, Dongfang Tai said, this old Xu Tou is quite loyal to the mansion, and he can always think about Dongfang Mansion everywhere.

"Thank you, Master. Old Xu Tou fell to his knees in emotion. Originally, he was called by the head of the family for questioning, and he was always uneasy in his heart, and he was trembling when he spoke. I don't know if the head of the family asked him to adopt the baby, how can I not know gratitude when I hear this.

"Well, since this baby was picked up by chance by God, it is providence. Dongfang Tai helped him up and said with a smile: "It's rare that you are loyal to Dongfang Mansion, so I will think of this child's name for you." He is among the servants in the house, and it is arranged by God, so he is called Sedum, what do you think?"

"Sedum, Xu Sedum. Very good, very good!" Old Xu Tou kowtowed again with emotion. The head of the family, Dongfang Tai, was so good to him that he even thought of a name for him.

It is also the head of the family who takes care of their grandfather, and there are just born family members in the house, and the milk is not enough, so I invited several nurses, and the milk is too much to eat, so I squeezed it out and sent it to Xiao Sedum, and finally saved the baby.
