Eight years later.

"Grandpa, grandpa, come and see, I caught a little rabbit in the yard. "An innocent child jumped and ran to his grandfather.

He is the child that Li Baicao picked up under the plane tree back then, and he has grown so big in a blink of an eye. Back then, Li Baicao used the medicinal materials that he had treasured for many years and his superb medical skills to save the child's life, and Li Baicao has been constantly recuperating Li Qiutong's body for eight years, so that this child who has been cold since he was a child can grow up healthily.

Li Baicao smiled, touched the child's head and said, "Xiaotong, let the little rabbit go, collect the things, we will go down the mountain to the city to sell some herbs, and buy something by the way." ”

"Okay grandpa, I'll go get the medicine I grinded before. The little one jumped back into the house.

For Li Qiutong, in the past eight years, he has spent most of his time living in the mountains with his grandfather, making friends with the blue sky and white clouds, and neighboring with green grass and trees, and living happily. But there are also a lot of interesting things in the city that attract him, because the city has all kinds of fun, delicious and good-looking young ladies.

After a while, the grandfather and grandson packed their things and prepared to go.

The closest city to the Tyumen Mountains is the Tyumen City, which is located at the junction of the two major economic powers on the mainland, the Song Kingdom and the Heavenly Kingdom, so its economy and trade are very developed, and the population flow is also very large, which is regarded as an important trade center of the Song Kingdom.

After a morning of traveling, the grandfather and grandson finally arrived in front of the Tyumen gate.

After entering the city, the two walked to the market with ease, then found their stalls, took out the herbs one by one, set them up, and began the day of buying medicines.

"Yo, Lao Litou, I've brought Xiaotong to sell medicine again, I haven't seen you for a long time. Come to Xiaotong and let the aunt hug her, is it growing taller again. The aunt who was shopping for vegetables on the other side said hello.

"Auntie, I've grown a lot taller, and it's all up to my grandfather's shoulders. The little one ran to his aunt's to chat, took a carrot with one hand and stuffed it into his mouth, and the other hand was taller than his own.

The uncle who sold meat next to him threw the knife and said: "Xiao Qiutong is growing up, how can you only eat these vegetables, Lao Litou, I will leave some meat at night, and you can take it back to replenish Xiao Qiutong's body by the way." ”

"My dishes are more nutritious, Xiao Qiutong should eat more vegetables. The aunt said unconvincedly

"Alas, these two men quarreled again", and the little one ran to his grandfather again.

Qiu Tong is no longer surprised by this scene, or the whole market is actually used to it. The little guy can be said to have grown up with the whole street, and everyone has always treated this cute and lively little guy as their own child.

In the midst of this noise, the market also began to be lively, and the stalls began to gradually get busy.

"Uncle, how do you sell your medicine?" asked a teenage girl looking at the medicine basket.

"Two yuan for gold and silver powder, three yuan for bitter grass powder, and four yuan for trauma medicine......", Old Man Li introduced the little girl one by one, but after Qiu Tong saw such a good-looking young lady, she was really angry, and stood aside with a red face. Especially after the girl smiled at him, the little guy was so excited and nervous that he couldn't even speak.

But you can't blame Li Qiutong for being so shy, after all, he stays in the mountains all year round, and he really hasn't seen many beautiful girls.

After listening to this, the little girl opened her eyes wide and asked, "I heard that there is a medicine in the Song Kingdom, which can treat cold bone disease, I don't know if the uncle knows?" Her eyes give people a sense of wisdom and insight into everything, which is an eye that ordinary children will never appear at this age, such as the stupid boy who lost his mind next to him.

Old man Li shook his head and said: "This cold bone disease is a legendary terminal disease, once it is suffered, it is only possible to wait for death, how can my old man know the treatment method, the little girl should seek another wisdom, right?"

The old man said very truthfully, this cold bone disease is said to be born in the north of the disease, the patient will feel every bone of their body as cold as ice cubes every day, the body surface temperature has been lower than normal people, a long time in the cold and pain, to the spirit, to the body is a kind of torture. In addition, once you suffer from it, you will die for a month at most, and it is a disease for which there is still no cure.

The little girl seemed unwilling to give up, and asked again: "It is rumored that the medicine saint has treated dozens of people with cold bone disease in Zhenbei Pass, how can the uncle say that it is a terminal disease." ”

The old man smiled and said: "Medicine Saint, Medicine Saint are the two legendary figures of doctors, how can I, a village doctor, have medical skills comparable to theirs, you should seek another skill." ”

The little girl looked at the old man silently, and finally sighed, and was about to turn away.

Suddenly, there was an angry rebuke from the other side, "It's your honor to be able to sell your meat to me, a real warrior, and you still want to make my money." ”

A strong man grabbed the meat seller tightly with his strong hands, and then threw him three or four meters away with a strong flick, until he hit a wall and stopped. The uncle lay on the ground and covered his wounds, not daring to look up at the other party. Many people around were watching, but no one dared to say anything.

For a long time, martial artists have an absolute status in the Tobu Continent, they use martial arts to forge their bodies, practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies, and pursue the strongest martial arts all their lives as the goal. Whether it is the sword discussion in the rivers and lakes or the fight for life on the battlefield, the figure of the warrior is indispensable.

For ordinary people, warriors have great power, and no ordinary person dares to disobey warriors casually. After all, an ordinary martial artist can easily kill several ordinary adult men, and he doesn't have to bear too much responsibility, let alone a top martial artist at the master or even grandmaster level. Of course, ordinary people are also eager to practice martial arts as martial artists, but unfortunately not everyone can have martial arts talent and be able to comprehend the artistic conception of martial arts. What's more, martial arts are created by martial arts masters, and all martial arts are inherited in the same line, which is not easy for outsiders to learn.

At this time, the meat seller angered a warrior because of the price, and he was beaten at best, and he could lose his life at worst. The ordinary people around him only dared to reprimand angrily in their hearts, and they definitely didn't dare to stand up against this martial artist, except for a child who didn't know what a martial artist really meant.

"Let go of the uncle, how can you be so unreasonable, the uncle's meat is already very cheap. An eight-year-old boy ran up to the strong man, stretched out his hands, and stopped him with his thin body. For Qiu Tong, he didn't know what a warrior could do, he only knew that the uncle who often gave him meat to eat was beaten, so he wanted to protect the uncle, that's all.

The strong man looked down at Li Qiutong, who was only up to his abdomen, and laughed like a toy: "It's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, uncle, I will teach you what a martial artist is today." As he spoke, he raised his fist.

"Lord Warrior, be merciful, this kid doesn't know anything, you can take the medicine over there as you like, you don't care about a small child if you have a lot of it. Seeing this, Lao Li Tou could only quickly run over, picked up Xiao Qiutong with one hand, put it behind him, and hurriedly apologized to the strong man.

"Lao Tzu is not rare in your medicine, I will fight you with this old man, so that you can remember it for a long time. "Some warriors think they are superior and have never looked up to any ordinary person, and this strong man may be such a guy.

"Warriors should take the protection of the people, the country, and the weak as their own responsibility, this is the meaning of the existence of those who practice martial arts, you are so oppressive to the people, without the slightest sympathy and pity, do you have the face to face your master? Stop now, you may still have the possibility of turning back." With this mature and calm voice, the girl who had just bought medicine slowly walked out of the crowd. Her clear eyes silently stared at the angry warrior in front of her, but there was no trace of fear.
