Xu Deshan is gone, he doesn't want to see this boundless land again, he doesn't want to hear the familiar country sound anymore, and he doesn't even want to see Wang Quanzao, Wei Huang, Zhou Di, Jia Changchao, he doesn't want to see anyone he knew before, only in this way can Xu Deshan no longer think of what he used to do.

This time, Xu Deshan let the horse go south, there was no destination, he believed in the horse, and let the horse walk casually, anyway, Xu Deshan had money on him, no matter where he went, as long as he took out the money, he would naturally eat and drink.

Of course, Xu Deshan is alone, not very old, and will not be stupid enough to take out money to swagger around and cause trouble for himself, except for riding a horse, Xu Deshan looks no different from ordinary children.

Xu Deshan left, seeing that the New Year had passed, and it was time for the grass to grow and the warbler to fly, and at this time, Xu Deshan had come to the Henan border.

After such a long time, Xu Deshan's mood finally calmed down, and he began to think about where he should go, naturally, with his ability, his friendship with Jia Changchao, and his exploits in Hebei, as long as he goes to Jia Changchao's door again, within a few years, he can rise step by step, and Xu Deshan originally did this.

But now, Xu Deshan has some different ideas, he is thinking, is the road of reading really suitable for him.

It is true that everything must be considered in the context of the time, in the era of the Great Song Dynasty, where everything is inferior, only in the era of high reading, it is the fastest and most effective way to be an official through reading, but Xu Deshan knew that the Xu family was killed by the Liao army, and he could not avenge them, he was powerless, and he couldn't even count on the Song Dynasty to send troops, Xu Deshan had an idea, he wanted to abandon his pen and learn martial arts.

Think about it, if you can learn a body of martial arts, as sung in the chivalrous line, kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles, how can you see the whole family being killed, you can only stand in place aggrieved, counting on others to help you, as long as you have a sword in your hand, go north with a sword, and in the midst of ten thousand armies, cut off the enemy's head, and avenge your parents and brothers, this is the joy of life.

Xu Deshan made up his mind, and began to realize his idea, if you want to practice martial arts, you have to apprentice, Xu Deshan regretted not asking Zhou Di which sect he was from, seeing that Zhou Di is good, if he knew where Zhou Di was taught, he would go directly to his sect, maybe he would be able to be Zhou Di's junior brother.

But fortunately, although the Song Dynasty ruled the world with literature, but now the soldiers are in chaos, and robbers are frequent, so what dart bureau martial arts hall, scattered martial artists are also everywhere, Xu Deshan visited a few, talked a few words, but found that he drank Wei Huang Zhou Di and other masters together for a long time, and his vision was long, and he no longer looked down on these ordinary teachers.

It's not just that Xu Deshan doesn't look down on others, but these people don't dare to ask Xu Deshan, think about it, a child of a few years old, alone, not short of money, don't go to study, have to come to learn martial arts, I'm afraid it's not that the son of that big family has an awkward quarrel with the family and runs out.

After walking for so many days, Xu Deshan was a little disappointed, and then thought about it, and secretly complained that he was stupid, didn't he say it all, those martial arts masters, masters of the rivers and lakes, all live in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests, isolated islands and deserted suburbs, how can they find it among the people.

So Xu Deshan changed his route, no longer going to major cities, but picking up those deep mountains and old forests to drill, but Xu Deshan may not have recovered from the pain of the death of his relatives, and his brain is not very useful, he forgot that in this deep mountain and old forest, in addition to the worldly masters, famous and decent, there are also robbers who occupy the mountains as kings, and bandits who kill people and set fires.

Of course, Henan is the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, around Kaifeng, Xu Deshan did not meet any villains, Xu Deshan did not give up, there was no here to continue to look for the south, the result was across the Yangtze River, to Hunan and Hubei, I don't know whether Xu Deshan is lucky or fateful, in the deep mountains and old forests for such a long time, even a bandit has not been encountered, Xu Deshan in the spirit of more than life, more than death, continue to the south, finally, when he arrived in Guangxi, Xu Deshan finally met the master of the world he dreamed of.

said that he was a master outside the world, and he could beautify these people a little, because the clothes of these people were really a little ugly, Xu Deshan was walking on the road, only to hear a whistling on both sides of the road, and then more than a dozen unclothed masters jumped out, these people were holding wooden guns and sticks, and surrounded Xu Deshan at once.

Xu Deshan was startled, he came from the north, and walked through most of the Song Dynasty along the way, and he could be regarded as having seen the world, but he had never seen anyone dressed in such tatters, Xu Deshan even forgot that he was the one who was robbed, and he was in danger, so he grinned.

When these worldly masters saw it, they were ashamed and angry, and greeted the first person, and everyone rushed up, taking Xu Deshan and his horses and snatching them up the mountain.

I have to say that these people are born to live in the mountains, where the roads are rugged, the mountains are rocky, and the vegetation is dense, but these people walk on the ground.

At the beginning, these people were escorting Xu Deshan to walk in the middle of the team, but after walking for a while, the mountain road was too difficult to walk, and maybe these people finally succeeded, and they wanted to escape from the scene quickly, and they walked fast, Xu Deshan slowly couldn't walk.

I think that at the beginning, the black-clothed man of Maitreya Buddhism was specially going to kill Xu Deshan, Xu Deshan was not afraid of danger, and became friends with the person who wanted to kill him.

Later, he killed the man in black with his own hands, and went out with the army, experienced killing, and his heart didn't know how much he had grown, and now Xu Deshan was caught by this group of people who didn't wear clothes, Xu Deshan's heart was like water, and there was no trace of fear.

Xu Deshan stopped suddenly, frightening those worldly masters who thought that Xu Deshan was going to escape, so they also hurriedly stopped, pointed at Xu Deshan with a wooden stick, and looked at him cautiously and vigilantly.

Xu Deshan coughed a few times and asked, "Can you understand me?" ”

After Xu Deshan finished speaking, he knew that these people couldn't understand, because these people were at a loss on their faces and didn't know what Xu Deshan was talking about, so Xu Deshan asked again in a different language, but these people still couldn't understand.

Alas, the language barrier is the biggest obstacle to reasoning, what if the reason can't be explained, Xu Deshan looked at it, and directly a hungry tiger pounced on food, rushed to the strongest one in this group, and directly hugged the thighs of the people, so frightened that the person hurriedly shook it twice, but the result was that Xu Deshan was not thrown down.

These people are a little dumbfounded, these people have robbed before, they have seen those who resisted and struggled, and they have seen those who escaped halfway, but this is the first time I have seen someone who hugs his thighs.

The man was also anxious, stretched out his hand to hit Xu Deshan, someone next to him stopped him, and said a few words to the man, the man looked helpless, there was no way, he picked up Xu Deshan, put it on his back, and a group of people continued to climb the mountain.

After turning over another hill, a stockade appeared in the middle of the mountain, and a look of joy appeared on the faces of these people, and a burst of cheers lifted Xu Deshan's horse and baggage, showing off their booty, and suddenly there was a burst of cheers from the stockade, and a group of children ran out and took these people in.

Carrying a half-sized man over a hill, obviously the man was tired enough, entered the stockade, directly threw Xu Deshan on the ground, and found a place to rest, and Xu Deshan got up from the ground and looked at this place curiously.

This village looks like there are only a dozen households, scattered, scattered with more than a dozen bamboo buildings, and a group of children around Xu Deshan surrounded him, looking up and down curiously, Xu Deshan was about to take a closer look, and two people who arrested Xu Deshan pushed Xu Deshan and signaled Xu Deshan not to look around, Xu Deshan was very obedient, simply closed his eyes and lay on the ground.

After a while, Xu Deshan heard the sound of footsteps coming, opened his eyes and looked again, it turned out that an elderly person came from the depths of the village, looked at Xu Deshan's appearance, broke a little surprised Xu Deshan's age, and asked in a blunt official language, "Where are you a child, how did you come to our mountain." ”

Xu Deshan smiled, if the two sides do not understand the language, they may not know whether they are alive or dead, but as long as the other party can speak Chinese and the two sides can communicate in language, then no matter where they go, it will become their home field.

Xu Deshan pretended to be pitiful, and said, "I'm so pitiful, my home was robbed by bandits, killed my parents and brothers, and I was left alone, unaccompanied, homeless, I was scared, so I wanted to go up the mountain to hide, by the way, you shouldn't be robbers, my life is so miserable, you kill me, and I can reunite with my family." ”

This person obviously hasn't been a robber much, Xu Deshan turned red when he said it, looked left and right embarrassedly, and asked Xu Deshan, "We are not robbers, but ...... But ......"

Xu Deshan said, "It's good that you are not robbers, but the robbers are going to kill, by the way, I think you are good here, I don't know if I can live here for a while, I still have some silver items in my baggage, I will take these things, how about I exchange them for my food and drink these days." ”

The man looked at Xu Deshan in surprise, such a chic request, he heard for the first time, the child in front of him would not want to stabilize himself and take the opportunity to escape, of course, Xu Deshan ran away is not terrible, what is terrible is that if he runs to the government to sue himself, attracting the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers, then his life will be unstable.

However, at this time, Xu Deshan's child's size has played an advantage again, anyone who sees a child will feel paralyzed from the bottom of his heart, not to mention the word robber, really put this person away, for no reason, who is willing to seek money and kill his life, uneasy, now Xu Deshan voluntarily took out his belongings, so Xu Deshan, just a child, how much wind and waves can be turned over, stay in the village, take care of it, and help do something.

The man thought about it, nodded, recruited a person over, said a few words, the man looked at Xu Deshan hesitantly, agreed unwillingly, waved his hand and gave Xu Deshan a stick, and was about to drive Xu Deshan away.

If he left like this, the others would not understand Xu Deshan's words, Xu Deshan's big reason fooled whom, Xu Deshan hurriedly shouted, "Slow down, I still have something to say." ”

The man looked at Xu Deshan strangely and said, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Xu Deshan smiled, made a very formal interest, and said to the man, "I've been here for a long time, I haven't met you yet, my name is Xu Deshan, I don't know what your name is?" ”

If you don't say a word, then the world is full of your enemies, but if you can introduce yourself, then at the very least, you can turn the general enemies into your friends.

I have to say that etiquette is also a very important means of communication, Xu Deshan's appearance made it difficult for that person to refuse Xu Deshan's conversation, and involuntarily said, "My name is called."

Shaqi. ”

Xu Deshan said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, in this village, are you the only one who can speak Chinese?" ”

Sha Qi nodded, "I'll do more, others, those kids can only have some simple words." ”

Xu Deshan said, "Then can I learn your language with you, otherwise I want to live here, and I can't just talk to you every day and gesture with others." ”

Sha Qi's face couldn't help twitching, the child in front of him, there is something wrong, right, how good the life of the Han people is, why does this child recognize that he wants to live here, even if he wants to show loyalty, he doesn't need such a expression, this is too fake.

Shaqi asked, "Why did you want to stay here?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "I have nowhere to go now, and at least I can't meet robbers here, so I want to stay here." ”

Sha Qi heard the word robber, his face turned red again, thinking about Xu Deshan's reason is quite sufficient, after all, Xu Deshan is a child, if the whole family is dead, there is indeed no place to go, wandering around in the mountains, who knows when it will be eaten by wild beasts, in this way, he robbed Xu Deshan, but he did a good thing.

People have the virtue of a good life, even if it is a kitten or a puppy, I hope they can live well, not to mention that Xu Deshan is a big living person, Sha Qi is no exception, thinking that he inadvertently saved a life, Sha Qi still feels a little happy in his heart.

Of course, if Xu Deshan is asked to stay for a long time, then Xu Deshan is a member of the cottage, and the idea of asking Xu Deshan to do something casually as a coolie is not very realistic, Sha Qi waved his hand and asked the previous person to do his own thing, and he led Xu Deshan to his own bamboo building.

Sha Qi obviously has some status in this small village, but even so, Sha Qi's house looks a little dilapidated, Sha Qi pointed casually and asked Xu Deshan to sit down, Xu Deshan was not polite, and sat on a chair that looked quite pleasing to the eye, and Sha Qi sat opposite Xu Deshan.

Sha Qi poured a bowl of water for Xu Deshan, Xu Deshan was feeling thirsty, picked up the bowl and drank it all, and then he was a little speechless, it turned out that the water tasted bitter, far less delicious than the mountain spring that Xu Deshan thought.

Seeing Xu Deshan's expression, Sha Qi couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Xu Deshan, are you sure you want to stay in our village?" ”

Xu Deshan said, "This is nature, since I said it, then I have to stay." ”

Sha Qidao "However, you have also seen that our village is barren and has nothing, coupled with the drought this year, there are even many animals in the mountains, and life is even more difficult, far less than your previous life, just like the bowl of water you just drank, you will have to drink such water every day in the future, can you persevere?" ”

Xu Deshan said with a smile, "When I was a child, no matter how hard the days were, but when I grew up, my family became richer, no matter how hard it was, it was just eating grass roots and bark, how could I not stand it." ”

Sha Qi was surprised, "Although we are hard, we have not reached the point of eating grass roots and bark, I didn't expect that you have suffered many hardships at a young age. ”

Xu Deshan said, "I have suffered, but I don't want to suffer, wealth is accumulated little by little, as long as you work hard, everyone can live a good life, for example, we are like this." ”

Sha Qi sighed when he heard this, "This kind of truth only applies to you Han people, you occupy the best place, you can farm, you can do business, you can be an official, as long as you work hard, you will naturally have a good life, but our Zhuang people, but you Han people are not allowed, you can only hide in the mountains, it is a good thing to be able to eat a full stomach every day, even if it is good, how good can it be." ”

Xu Deshan turned his head and looked around, and said, "You are hunting in the mountains, the animal meat can be eaten, but the fur is a precious thing, why don't you exchange it for money, or exchange it for rice and noodles." ”

Sha Qi said, "You see that you came to our cottage, we still don't have a good face for you, and if we go down the mountain to the place where the Han people gather, the Han people seem to be a head above us, and they will beat and scold us, and you tell us how to exchange for rice and noodles." ”

Xu Deshan said strangely, "But these ...... you use now"

Sha Qi said, "What we are using now, wearing, is a special merchant, every once in a while, we will transport food, drink, clothing and other things, and do not need money, as long as we exchange the fur herbs and spices in our hands, but the merchant is black-hearted, I have a good fur, at most in exchange for a bag of rice and noodles, it is really hateful." ”

Xu Deshan instantly knew where these people were poor, this is clearly a monopoly business, people monopolize your sales channels, the price is naturally set by others, and the profits are naturally made by others, and these Zhuang people can only maintain a subsistence life, I am afraid that this is still the businessmen who pity them and give them alms.

Xu Deshan asked, "Well...... If I stay, what will I do? ”

Sha Qi said, "A child like you can't go out hunting yet, you can stay in the village and help peel the skin and dry the meat." ”

Xu Deshan said, "I'm not very good at this kind of work, but there is one thing I'm happy to do, I can give you a bag of rice and noodles for each person in the village within a month, how about it?" ”
