Section 11 Mercy and remembrance

The old man looked at the child eating the bread, sighed and said, "This little brother, you are really a good person, this child has not eaten much for three days. Duan Shuai was stunned: "What? Don't you have a farm at home? The old man sighed: "There is land at home, but there is no one to farm!" My three sons were all sent to the battlefield, and none of them came back. He subconsciously stroked the child's head and continued: "People say that heaven will bless us when a loved one dies, but several grandchildren of my family have also starved to death one after another. ”

Duan Shuai was a little moved, and sighed: "The sky is really unsympathetic, how old is this child?" The old man knocked on his pipe and said, "Eight years old, he will starve to death if he follows me like this, today, I brought him here to find him a good family to sell, it is better to be a cow and a horse than to die!" ”

These words once again pierced Duan Shuai's heart, he has been a lonely child since he was a child, and he has been sold back and forth, changing hands a lot, even the appearance of his biological parents, he can no longer remember clearly, seeing this child, he seems to remember himself back then. Tears gleamed in the corners of her eyes.

The wind was blowing, the wind was very strong, and the kid shivered and hid beside his grandfather, who was skinny and not a good haven at all, but it was all this child. Duan Shuai trembled and said, "Old man, put. . . Give me this child, right? I am from Tianshan Gate, I can raise him as an adult! ”

The old man stood up suddenly, trembling all over, he had never been so excited, his calloused hands tightly held Duan Shuai's hand tightly and said, "Really? This kid is saved! Quick, Niannu, come and thank this hero! "This kid was originally called Nian Nu, the name Nian Nu is really unpleasant, as soon as I heard it, I felt that this was a slave's name, but Duan Shuai didn't care, didn't his name also be called out casually!

Duan Shuai touched Niannu's head and asked, "Niannu, how is it, is it okay to go to Tianshan Mountain with your uncle to learn skills?" Niannu quickly knelt down, he was not good at words, so he had to keep kowtowing to show his determination. Duan Shuai had never seen a seven or eight-year-old child so sensible, and he was overjoyed.

Nian Nu reluctantly left his grandfather, followed Duan Shuai to Tianshan, the bleak situation in Liujiazhuang is really suffocating, Duan Shuai very much hopes to change this situation, he wrote a letter to his brother Gao Zhan, hoping that he can give more care and help to these people affected by the war.

Not far away, there was a burst of laughter like silver bells, Duan Shuai recognized this voice, this was a woman's voice, it was a very beautiful woman's voice, it was Tong Sixue's voice. Si Xue walked out of the village with a smile, Duan Shuai looked at her in surprise, she hadn't seen her for many days, Si Xue was more beautiful, her figure was more symmetrical and plump, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were a little more mature and calm, but she was lively and cheerful like a girl.

She walked up to Duan Shuai with a smile and said, "Yo, Duan Daxia is back?" Duan Shuai stammered and asked casually, "You... How did you end up here? Seeing Si Xue, Nian Nu's grandfather hurriedly leaned over and knelt down, and Si Xue hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Dad, why are you doing this." ”

Grandpa's eyes were full of excitement, and he said: "Doctor Tong has cured so many villagers in our village, and he doesn't charge us a penny, you are the fairy of our village!" It turned out that Sixue had been treating the people here, Duan Shuai nodded with a smile and said, "Doctor Tong has grown up, not bad!" ”

Tong Sixue glared at him and said, "This is my duty, you can gallop the world, and I can also cure diseases and save people!" Hey, why did you come back at this time? The battle is over? Duan Shuai was a little confused and asked, "Your sister-in-law is seriously ill, don't you know?" ”

Sixue looked at Duan Shuai in a daze, and suddenly laughed, she pointed to Zhuangzi and said, "Are you talking about my sister-in-law Lu Yu?" How could she be seriously ill, crow's mouth, oh, isn't she helping me treat the villagers together! Duan Shuai was taken aback, and his originally gloomy mood was even more confused.

Si Xue took him to a small wine shop in the village to rest in peace, and then went to the village to call Lu Yu over. In addition to Lu Yu, there are also Lu Jin, Zhao Nian, and many Tianshan disciples. Duan Shuai stood up suddenly, hugged Lu Yu, and said, "I know, I know, you won't bear to leave me!" ”

Lu Yu also had more tears in her eyes, she had been married for so many years, she never knew that her husband could confess to her so affectionately, which she never expected. After everyone sat down one by one, Duan Shuai told everyone about his experiences along the way, and the recent situation of Chang Yun, Shufan and others also told everyone, and everyone listened to it thrillingly. Zhao Nian suddenly said: "Brother Duan, by the way, we haven't received news from the south for a long time, did you order it to be afraid of leaking the news?" ”

Duan Shuai was puzzled: "Really? When I was leaving, I repeatedly told Senior Brother Chang that every three days, I must report the war situation to Tianshan, how long have you not received news? Zhao Nian looked up and thought about it, and said, "It's been almost a month!" Duan Shuai was suddenly shocked in his heart, he never thought that this would be a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

Could it be that the sergeants of the South have suffered a great loss? A cloud was cast over everyone's hearts. The more Duan Shuai thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he unconsciously patted the table and said, "Hey! I'm afraid I've been tricked! Lu Yu said with relief: "Brother Duan, relax, there are Brother Chang, Brother Hong and Shufan in the south, and there are so many martial arts heroes, there will be no big mess." ”

Duan Shuai could only comfort himself like this. "Hey, what's the matter with this kid?" Si Xue pointed to Nian Nu, who was standing at the door and didn't dare to come in, and asked. Duan Shuai smiled and let Nian Nu come over, he hugged Nian Nu and said, "This is the child I just adopted, you see, how much he looks like me back then!" "This is almost like making people feel that he has no IQ, he was so old back then, and no one here knows him, let alone compares the two.

Si Xue still smiled and said, "This doll is very cute, why don't you be a medicine boy for me?" Duan Shuai asked with some hesitation: "Niannu, Sister Tong wants to teach you how to cure diseases and save people, are you willing to learn from her?" Nian Nu didn't say a word, knelt down again, knocked knock, and kowtowed a few times.

Sixue has no father and no Shufan by her side, so naturally she has no playmates, but now it's okay, there is a slave, which can be regarded as a sustenance for her. Duan Shuai was thinking carefully about the release of life these days, and he was even more worried about the war in the south, and he wanted to take everyone back to Tianshan Mountain, so he returned to the south again to find out.

When it was time to settle the bill, everyone didn't care, Duan Shuai had to take out the money, but there was only a penny left in his arms, and he looked at the bartender helplessly. The bartender's face turned red, and he stammered, "The money of the miracle doctors... Our small shop can be on credit. But after saying this, the little bartender's face turned even redder, not only his face was red, but his eyes were also red, as if he had been greatly wronged, and he couldn't wait to cry out immediately.

Duan Shuai knew that this little bartender was not easy, and looked at Lu Yu helplessly, Lu Yu came back to his senses, it turned out that Duan Shuai didn't have any money on him! So how did he come all the way, just saw him eating so happily, and thought he was happy, could it be that he was very hungry! Lu Yu didn't feel a little distressed, and Si Xue quipped: "Yo, the leader of the six provinces in the world actually has no money in his pocket, doesn't this make people laugh out of his big teeth, by the way, you said that you have no money in your pocket, how can you have the courage to adopt my little slave?" You're not afraid to starve it to death! ”

Everyone burst into laughter, and Duan Shuai also touched his head with some shame and said, "Where did I think so much at that time, I did it as soon as my brain was hot!" People in the rivers and lakes, where are they in charge of so many miscellaneous things. Sixue interrupted: "Hey! Brother Duan, what you said is wrong, what do you do now without spending money? Let's just say that you are going south with the alliance of six provinces, if you don't have sufficient financial support, can you get to the south? Even if it is enough, what will the soldiers under his hands eat and wear! Who can willingly follow you without these things? ”

Duan Shuai would never think about these things, these things were all considered by Chang Yun, and all the financial support was also found by Chang Yun everywhere, he was really a little helpless when Si Xue said this. Lu Yu knew that her husband never cared about money, which was also one of his advantages, so he helped: "Okay, okay, my little Sixue, you can spare your eldest brother Duan!" His stupid mouth means that he can't catch up with what you say in a year! ”

Si Xue smiled and said, "Okay, good! I listen to my sister-in-law, but, big brother, next time you invite us to dinner, don't forget to bring money! The crowd burst into laughter. was laughing, and suddenly there was a sound of laughter from outside the door, Duan Shuai immediately heard that this was a thousand miles of sound transmission skills, this person must not be nearby, just trying to search for something nearby, listening to this voice, he knew that this was not a simple character.

It is said that the people in the martial arts who have some skills in the martial arts today should be in the south, or they have been kidnapped by the Killing Moon Alliance, how can such a powerful character appear here? Duan Shuai immediately ordered everyone to be quiet. Everyone stopped talking, and the voice never appeared again, Duan Shuai relaxed a little and led everyone to leave Liujiazhuang. There is still a long way to go to the Tianshan Mountains, and he is afraid of what will happen along the way, so he has always emphasized that he cannot act separately. But there were still a few Tianshan disciples who didn't care, and they never came back after leaving alone.

Duan Shuai realized the seriousness of the matter, and he ordered: "Xiao Yu, Xiao Jin, both of you are not weak in kung fu here, if there is any danger, you two must take everyone away first, and I will break it off." "Lu Yu has never seen Duan Shuai so nervous, even if he was not so vigilant when he fought against Su Yuhan, who was the number one in the world, but today he is so careful, obviously the matter is very serious.
