The sky was slightly bright, and Su Hang sat at the head of the bed and accompanied Soho all night without closing his eyes.

He thought a lot about it this night, and the more he thought about it, the more mixed his heart became, the more dazed he was, although his family was not rich in the past, but his parents loved him very much, and he was only six years old, so he didn't have any survival skills.

However, the departure of his parents in front of him is a reality, although he doesn't want to face it, but he also has to face it, if he is the only one, maybe he can choose to escape, but no, he has his four-year-old sister Soho behind him, if even he escapes, then how should Soho deal with himself, he promised Li Yue that he would take care of Soho, then he must do it.

The road ahead is destined to be difficult, Su Hang has checked that the food at home is only enough to last for about ten days, if you can't find a way to make a living in these ten days, then food and clothing will be a problem after ten days, it's okay to starve, but you must not let your sister starve, but how to make money?

Although Su Hang didn't think of the answer, after thinking about it, he temporarily forgot the heartache of his father's death, just when Su Hang was worried.

'Bang, bang, bang'

A knock came from outside the door, pulling Su Hang back from his immersed thoughts, listening to the knock Su Hang thought suspiciously: 'Who is knocking on the door this morning?'

Although Su Yan and Li Yue have been in Shifang Town for some years, they have always kept to themselves without relatives here, and they have not deliberately contacted too many people, and the ones who come and go the most on weekdays are the families of Papaya, Zhao Quanfeng and other five people.

And at this moment, the five of their families also had an accident, it can't be them, so who could it be? Su Hang walked softly to the door of the hall with doubts, and took out a small wooden board inserted in the door, and there was a small hole behind the wooden board, which was deliberately made by Su Yan before his death, and the scenery outside the door could be seen through the small hole.

Su Hang saw through the small hole that the person standing outside the door was actually a Guangyi Taoist who handled the funeral for Su Yan and Li Yue yesterday, and after seeing the person who came, Su Hang opened the door with confidence.

In addition to Guangyi, there were two other Taoists outside the door, and Su Hang recognized one of them as the one beside him yesterday.

Su Hang politely made a gesture of invitation to the three of them and said, "The three Taoist leaders are please." ”

After Su Hang led the three of Guangyi into the hall, he asked them to sit down at the table in the hall, took away the steamed bun on the table that he had bitten a bite of, and poured them each a cup of overnight cold water before sitting down and said: "Thank you for your help yesterday, today should have been a good hospitality, but unfortunately there are only a few glasses of cold water at home now, don't be surprised." ”

The four of them each sat in a corner, Guangyi was just opposite Su Hang, heard Su Hang's polite words, looked at Su Hang's red eyes, knew that he must have not slept all night, and couldn't help but feel a pity in his heart and said: "It's okay, for me and other monks, a glass of cold water is enough." ”

Then Guangyi looked at Su Hang's upright body, and continued: "Actually, I came here today because I wanted to ask you something. ”

Su Hang thought about it for a while, but he couldn't think of a generalized purpose, so he replied softly: "I don't know what it is, it's okay to ask." ”

Guangyi looked at Su Hang and sighed lightly and said: "Yesterday, after I looked back, I informed us of your situation, and the master also felt very sorry for knowing your situation, so this time I was authorized to come here to collect a group of children who have relatives who have died in their families to go up the mountain to practice, through my understanding, in addition to you, there are Wang Yi, Wang Jin, Zhao Quanfeng, Papaya, and Li Erwu. After you go up the mountain, you don't need to be tested to become a full-fledged introductory disciple immediately.

I have already visited the other five people one by one, and they have all agreed to let them go up the mountain, and now you are the only one left, so I have come here to ask if you would like to go up the mountain with us to practice the Dao. ”

Ziyangguan is located at the top of Fangshan Mountain, it can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized sect among many Xiuzhen sects, the mountain gate is not large, the number of people is not large, Ziyangguan's specialty is alchemy, Ziyangguan's alchemy means can be ranked in the top five in the Xiuzhen world, so the reputation of Ziyangguan is also loud in the Xiuzhen world.

Su Hang likes to listen to books, once heard the storyteller said, Ziyang Temple and the upper and lower Taoist people are less than 1,000 people in total, every spring will go down the mountain to accept ten disciples, these ten people in the mountain to practice for a year, after a year of cultivation to meet the requirements can stay as a beginner disciple, the person who is not enough to cultivate will be sent home.

Among the ten children who go up the mountain every year, there are usually only two or three people left after a year, and as the generalized Taoist said, Su Hang and others will immediately become introductory disciples when they go up the mountain, and the opportunity is indeed extremely difficult.

"Brother, who are these uncles?"

When Su Hang heard this, he looked back and saw Su He's young body standing under the door frame of the inner room and asking questions.

Su Hang walked to Su Ho's side and whispered to Su Ho: "These uncles are friends of my father and mother, and I have something to do with my father and mother, you go back to the house first, and wait for my brother to finish talking to them and cook porridge for you." ”

Su He nodded and replied, "Okay, that little lotus is waiting for my brother inside." ”

The three of them looked at the well-behaved Soho, and they felt a burst of emotion in their hearts.

Su Hang returned to the table and had a plan in his heart, and asked, "Dao Chief, if I go up the mountain with you, can my sister Xiaohe go up the mountain together?"

Guangyi shook his head and said, "We only accept male disciples in Ziyang Temple, but according to your situation, we will find a good family to adopt your sister, and allow you to go down the mountain to visit her once a year." ”

Hearing this, Su Hang raised his head and glanced at the roof, blinked his reddened eyes, pursed his lips lightly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, since Xiaohe can't go up the mountain with me, then I won't go." Now that my father and mother have just left, I have to stay and take care of Xiaohe, if even I go up the mountain, Xiaohe will have no relatives by his side. ”

Guangyi's heart was solemn, and a young Taoist who came with Guangyi on the side said with some disdain: "I don't know how rare the number of disciples of Ziyang Guan is? ”

Although Su Hang was young and came from a peasant family, Su Yan and Li Yue were also very fond of him, but they had never fallen behind in Su Hang's way of etiquette and righteousness.

The generalized Taoist went to intercede with the Lord for himself, but he rejected his kindness, but in this situation, he could not and would not leave Xiaohe no matter what.

Hearing this, the Daoist in the broad sense shouted at the young Taoist: "Yuan Qiao, don't talk nonsense, Su Hang is not a person in the Daomen, and at such a young age, he knows that the love between brothers and sisters is commendable." ”

The young Taoist Yuan Qiao was suddenly dying by the momentum of Guangyi's drink, and muttered in a low voice: "Cultivators pay attention to pure hearts and few desires, and you don't teach you to look down on worldly feelings." ”

Guangyi listened to Yuan Qiao's muttering and scolded again: "Take it out of context, you can't teach it." ”

Seeing this, Guangxing persuaded on the side: "Senior brother, it's no wonder that Yuan Qiao, Yuan Qiao has been on the mountain since he was a child, and he has never experienced the worldly feelings, how can he know the way to enter the world and be born." ”

Guangyi sighed lightly again, knowing that this was indeed the case, he no longer paid attention to Yuan Qiao, but asked Su Hang again: "Child, are you really unwilling to entrust your sister to others to go up the mountain with me?"

Su Hang shook his head and said firmly: "Thank you for your kindness, but I won't leave Xiaohe alone." ”

Guangyi nodded and said: "Cultivators pay attention to a fateful character, since you are unwilling to go up the mountain, then I will not force you." But how are you going to survive in this world with your sister, and if you want, how about I go to a good family to take you in?"

Guangyi saw Su Hang shaking his head and knew Su Hang's intentions, so he no longer insisted on it, took out a small money bag from his arms and put it on the table and said: "Since you don't want to, and I can't often go down the mountain to take care of you, I'll leave you some silver." ”

Su Hang looked at the bulging money bag on the table, he had never seen so much silver, he was a little flustered in his heart, and hurriedly waved his hand and said with a stammer: "Dao... My father and mother said that other people's silver should never be taken, although they are no longer there, but I dare not forget their words, so I will not be able to take this silver. ”

The four of them chatted for a long time, but Soho was a little hungry waiting in the house alone, and finally couldn't help but walk to the door again with a childish face and said timidly: "Brother, I'm hungry, when can I drink porridge." ”

Su Hang replied: "Xiaohe wait a while, my brother will cook it immediately." ”

Then Su Hang walked straight to the rice jar behind Guangyi, picked up the bamboo jar, scooped a large spoon and put it into the basin on the side, and said to the three of Guangyi: "The three Taoist masters must not have eaten breakfast, I'll cook some more, you can eat together and then go back." ”

The rice jar is quite high, not past Su Hang's navel, and there is not much rice left inside, and it is quite difficult to raise his legs high when Su Hangtao is tao.

Guangyi was about to reject Su Hang's kindness, but when he stood up and saw the rice grains in the rice bowl that were about to bottom out, he changed his words slightly in his heart and said, "Okay, then we're welcome." ”

Su Hang's stomach pressed on the rice jar and he didn't have time to reply, but Guangxing and Yuan Qiao's response to him was a little surprised and he wanted to ask, Guangyi understood the doubts of the two in his heart, smiled and nodded to signal the two to silence, walked to Yuan Qiao's side and handed him the money bag and whispered softly, Yuan Qiao suddenly realized and nodded and turned around and went out.

Seeing this, Guangxing on the other side immediately understood what Guangyi was thinking, and he also smiled and nodded, and continued to sit at the table with peace of mind.

Although Su Hang is greedy for fun on weekdays, he often helps Li Yue with some housework in his spare time, and he is a little skilled in cooking porridge.

Su Hang was very serious about getting up, and didn't notice Yuan Qiao's departure, sitting in front of the stove while chatting with Guangyi and Guangxing, after nearly half an hour, when Su Hang brought the cooked porridge to the table, he noticed that Yuan Qiao was gone, and asked, "What about the young Taoist?"

Guangyi and Guangxing unceremoniously took the porridge and replied while drinking: "Yuan Qiao, he has something to go out for a while, and he will come back later." ”

Su Hang whispered: "Oh", and called Su He out, he put a bowl of porridge on the chair, and let Su He just stand and drink the porridge.

The porridge just out of the pot was a little hot, Su Hang stood next to Su He and picked up a small fan, and gently fanned the porridge in the bowl for her, this thing was done by Li Yue on weekdays, but today it was replaced by Su Hang.

Guangyi and Guangxing glanced at each other when they saw this scene, nodded and smiled together.

Halfway through the porridge of the three of them, Yuan Qiao walked in from outside the house with a hemp bag on his shoulder, and Su Hang immediately invited him when he saw him: "Dao Chief, where are you going, hurry up and drink porridge." With that, he walked to the stove and put another bowl of porridge and put it where Yuan Qiao was sitting before.

Yuan Qiao was carrying the hemp bag, not knowing what to do next, but he heard Guangyi say, "Yuan Qiao, put down the bag and drink porridge first." ”

The three of them drank a bowl of porridge in Guangyi, stopping Su Hang's idea of giving them another sheng, and said to Su Hang: "You see that the three of us are drinking water and porridge when we come to you, should we repay you like this?"

Su Hang replied with a smile: "The Taoist words are serious, but it's just three bowls of gruel, what do you need in return." ”

Guangyi's face suddenly became solemn and said solemnly: "This is not good, we cultivators never owe people favors, this meal can be big or small, you will definitely not accept the silver I give you, it is better to do this, I just have a bag of rice here, so I will return this bag of rice." ”

Su Hang saw that Guangyi's face was serious, and he couldn't react for a while, and he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

Guangyi walked to the front of the jar, and as soon as he reached out and grabbed it, the rice at the bottom of the jar suddenly merged into a ball and condensed in his hand, and then said, "Yuan Qiao, go and pour the rice into the jar." ”

In the broad sense, revealing this hand is a normal means for cultivators, but in the eyes of Su Hang and Su Ho, they are shocked.

Su He shook Su Hang, who was stunned, and couldn't help but say, "Brother, this old uncle is so powerful." ”

Guangyi said to Su Hang, who had just come back to his senses: "Child, it is inconvenient for the three of us to stay here for a long time, I don't know when we will see each other again today, if you encounter difficulties in the future, you can go to Ziyang Temple in Fangshan to find me." ”

Su Hang nodded and promised, and saw the three of them leave, and after the three of them left, they turned their heads and looked at the big pot full of rice and were grateful, the biggest worry last night was the problem of food, and now this jar of rice is enough for them to eat for a few months, and this time should be enough for them to think of the way to survive.

At the same time, Su Hang silently wrote down a few words of Fangshan Ziyang View in his heart, and thought that he would definitely repay this kindness when he grew up in the future.

Or in response to the generalized words, Su Hang really went to Fangshan more than two years later, but in the broad sense, he never thought of the danger of Fangshan on weekdays, but the young Su Hang almost died in order to go up the mountain.
