Chapter 11, The Secret of Life and Hardship?
Put the ruler back into the ring and fall asleep.
Early in the morning, as always, getting up early, Xiao Lian woke up and came to the courtyard, sat on the stone bench and felt the fragrance of the morning, quietly looked at Hu Bing who was cultivating on the roof, and looked a little obsessed, thinking in his heart: Why is the young master's cultivation so good-looking.
After a while, after Hu Bing finished cultivating, he saw Xiao Lian sitting on the stone bench in a daze, and stepped forward to ask, "What are you thinking about sitting here?"
"Ah, nothing. Xiao Lian was suddenly awakened by Hu Bing's question, her face flushed with a faint blush, and she replied with a panicked expression.
"Somehow, how are your injuries now? Let me see. Hu Bing didn't think about it if he didn't understand, and then asked worriedly and was about to reach out to check Xiao Lian's injury.
Seeing Hu Bing approaching, Xiao Lian hurriedly hid to the side and stood aside and said, "No, it's fine, it's fine." ”
After saying that, the two hands were nervously fiddling in front of him, just kidding, how could the girl's back be shown casually?
Seeing this, Hu Bing also felt that he was too emotionally excited and a little rude, so he touched his nose awkwardly and said with a dry smile: "It's okay, pay attention to cultivation." After that, he fled the courtyard.
was about to go out on the street, and his father in front of the study directly called Hu Bing to stop: "Bing'er, come with me." ”
Hu Bing heard his father's call, and followed him into the study, thinking that he should be asking about his cultivation, and thinking about how to answer for a while.
After sitting down, my father asked with concern, "Bing'er, did you break through to the Heavenly Ladder yesterday?"
Seeing his father's concern, Hu Bing nodded and replied without hindrance.
Seeing this, my father relieved his heart and asked: "It's really difficult for you to hide your cultivation and bear the infamy all these years, your mother and I are proud of you, but this breakthrough is a bit careless, once it is exposed, the previous forbearance will be empty and even cause a lot of trouble." ”
I have been discussing this matter since I returned to the room with my mother last night, recalling Hu Bing's previous performance, the two can only think that Hu Bing's previous image of a gentleman was deliberately pretended, and it is difficult for him to taste courage all the time.
Although Hu Mansion is the largest family in Fengtian City, the situation is not ideal, the City Lord's Mansion and other families are eyeing each other, and the Hu family is gradually declining, if Hu Bing is just a gentleman, he will naturally not attract too much attention, and he will be safe and sound all his life; but once Hu Bing reveals his genius, it will inevitably lead to big trouble, and he will inevitably worry about being proud of Hu Bing in his heart.
Hu Bing didn't expect his father to come up with an excuse for himself, and he was worried about how to explain it, but this was just right, so he pushed the boat down the river and said: "What Dad said is, I didn't expect it to cause such a big movement." ”
Seeing that his guess was no different, his father nodded with relief, and then said with a serious face: "Bing'er, you are talented and intelligent now that you have grown up, it is time to tell you your true life experience." ”
Hu Bing was a little surprised, he didn't have any secrets, he had never heard of them before.
The father hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and seemed to have made up his mind, and said, "Actually, you are not the biological flesh and blood of me and your mother. ”
His father's words penetrated into Hu Bing's ears like a thunderbolt from the sky, and he shouted in disbelief: "What?"
The father frowned and trayed out the matter word by word: " I originally had a righteous brother named Wu Fan, who was the son of the Wu family, one of the best families in Fengtian City at that time, and was outstanding in literature and even reached the peak of the heavenly ladder at a young age, which was amazing, and that year I happened to meet the sister-in-law who came to Jindu, the two fell in love at first sight and gradually came together with great love, and gave birth to you a year later; Later, your grandfather learned the news of the death of his sister-in-law, and in anger he dispatched a large number of masters to fight with the Feng family day and night, and then I don't know how to fight after that, so as not to make trouble for the Feng family again, I will claim to the outside world that you are the eldest young master of the Hu family born to me and my wife, and now you are also mature, and you will soon be able to be full-fledged, and my brother and sister-in-law will be relieved and proud to know it. ”
Hu Tianzheng clenched his fists as he spoke, and two lines of tears slowly fell down the corners of his eyes.
Hu Bing was shocked by this sudden news, he was abandoned at birth in his previous life, and he couldn't imagine that he was an orphan in this life, and he looked at his father in disbelief, and he could see that his father's face was real and not like a lie, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Hu Bing couldn't listen to what he said then, walked out of the study with blank eyes, and walked aimlessly on the street.
At this time, it was the rainy season, and the light rain in the sky fell sparsely on Hu Bing, as if he didn't know.
Wandering left and right into a small alley, a faint aroma of wine came to the face, why to eliminate sorrow only Du Kang!
Thinking of borrowing wine to kill his sorrows, he went straight into the simple and clean tavern, the tavern is too small, there are only four tables, and there is not even a signboard at the door, only a cloth flag with a wine word written on it proves that this is a tavern, the tavern is loaded with an old man, the old man has high cheekbones, white temples but is still full of spring, full of energy, there is a martial king cultivation.
Seeing someone enter the door, he hurriedly beckoned forward: "What is the guest officer?"
casually ordered a jar of spirits and two side dishes, and sat on the bench and poured them into his stomach one after another.
A jar of wine into the stomach has also relieved a lot, and I have already seen it, thinking that although I have become an orphan in another life, it is much better than in my previous life, and my parents treat me as if I am my own child, so what can I do if I am not my own? But the Wu family's blood feud will one day have to pay the price of blood.
The liquor in the tavern is not very good when it smells fragrant and drinks in the stomach, saying that the liquor is actually as bland as water, and it is not delicious for Hu Bing, who is used to drinking all kinds of fine wines in his previous life, but he is used to drinking it cup by glass, and he does not see Sihao drunk.
Not long after, a rugged man with blue eyes and red hair walked into the tavern and ordered two pots of good wine and drank it by himself, Hu Bing looked at it and was a little surprised in his heart, this person cultivated himself and couldn't see through it, the most important is the realm of martial immortals, when did so many foreign powerhouses come to Fengtian City? Why did it come from? But everything has nothing to do with him, and he no longer wants to continue drinking.
The rugged man praised and talked with the shopkeeper from time to time, and when he saw that Hu Bing drank quickly, he was also a little curious, and he couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Little brother, can you have a drink with me?"
Hu Bing glanced up, and then said, "We don't seem to know each other. ”
The rugged man didn't care about Hu Bing's words, and then said: "Why do you have to know each other when you meet, we are both fallen people at the end of the world, you and I are both good wine people, why don't you drink together?"
After hearing this, Hu Bing thought for a while, made a gesture of please, and said, "Please." ”
The rough man smiled, hugged his fists and said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate."
The two of them then drank their own words and did not speak, and after a long time, the rough man couldn't help but take the lead and said: "It's really good wine, I think the little brother seems to have something on his mind?"
After listening to this, Hu Bing did not answer his question, but said disdainfully: "This is also considered good wine?
The shopkeeper was naturally not happy when he heard this, and stepped forward and interjected: "Little brother is young, don't talk nonsense, let alone in Fengtian City, even the entire Tianwu Continent may not have a better wine than me." After speaking, his expression was confident, and his waist was straight.
Hu Bing still said disdainfully: "Heh, compared to the good wine I have drunk, this is no different from water." ”
"Little brother, I originally saw that you had a good amount of wine, but I didn't expect you to be so open-mouthed, even if this wine is not inferior to the royal tribute wine, you said that it is impossible for you to be like water. ”
Hu Bing laughed when he heard this: "It's ridiculous, I am like a frog at the bottom of a well, how do I know that there are people outside the sky, I say that a hundred times stronger is polite." ”
The bartender called Hu Bing to look like something was going on, and he was a little suspicious that he was really blinded?
"I can't take it right now. ”
The rugged man laughed disdainfully after hearing this, and said to the shopkeeper: "Cut, I'll just say that he is bragging, and the shopkeeper really believes the nonsense of a hairy boy?"
Hu Bing rolled his eyes and said with disdain: "I said that I don't have it now, it doesn't mean that I won't have it in the future, I will personally brew the wine I said in a month, what if I can come up with a wine that is a hundred times stronger than this?"
The shopkeeper was shocked, and then said confidently: "I am still very confident in the wine I brew, if you can really come up with a wine stronger than me, don't say a hundred times stronger than me, I will admit defeat as you order, but if you can't take it, don't ruin my signboard in the future." ”
Hu Bing swore and said: "Okay, then it's a word." ”
Seeing that there was something to look at, the rough mine man laughed and said, "I'll be here in a month, I'll be a witness, and see who wins and who loses." ”
After this episode, Hu Bing's heart was dissipated and he had no intention of drinking again, turned around and left the tavern.
It was still early and the rain had dissipated, and I was walking alone on the street, and when I saw a noise in front of me, I looked up, and the owner of the bun shop pulled a young man who was in a mess, and a group of people surrounded him pointed at the boy.
Curious, he stepped forward to take a look, the young man actually had a level of cultivation, and in the face of the boss's bad words, instead of fighting back, he humbly apologized, and his character was very upright.
"This old man, what's going on?" asked Hu Bing to one of the onlookers.
"Hey, this kid didn't give money after eating the buns, and was caught by the boss and ready to send it to the City Lord's Mansion. ”
"I see, thank you. ”
Hu Bing saw that this young man should have something unspeakable, so he immediately stepped forward and took out two taels of silver, and said to the owner of the bun shop: "Is this money enough? I gave it for him." ”
When the owner of the steamed bun shop saw that there were two taels of silver, he naturally let go of the young man, took the silver with a smile and said, "Enough, enough." ”
After the young man was let go, he followed Hu Bing out of here, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you brother for your help." ”
Hu Bing waved his hand to show that he didn't care, and asked: "It's not enough to worry about it, you shouldn't be a local, right?"
The young man nodded and said, "My name is Gao Feng, a native of Kyushu." ”
