The vision of Qingyang Town protruded, and the powerhouses of the four major academies sitting here felt it at the same time. A woman in palace clothes, a burly man, a stiff old man, and a man in black with a sword suddenly appeared in the public hall at the same time.

The four of them didn't pay attention to Lord Ge's crampedness, nor did they pay attention to Xing Zhen, who was suffering with blood bleeding from the corners of his mouth. asked in unison, "Is there a big event happening in Qingyang Town?"

The status of the four major academies is transcendent, and they are above the major dynasties in the Trapped Dragon Continent.

Shushui Country is a small country struggling between the Great Lu Dynasty and the Great Sui Dynasty, and Master Ge is the county commander of a small Shushui Kingdom, so naturally he does not dare to snub the powerhouses of the four major academies in the slightest.

Honestly replied: "There is nothing major happening in Qingyang Town. ”

Although the juvenile criminal real person of Mu Ne was wooden, he could clearly see that Lord Ge was respectful to the four people who suddenly visited. Seeing a glimmer of hope, he insisted on his unfair treatment, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching and continued to protest.

Although the big man in charge of the punishment had compassion, he did not dare to release the water or pause it without permission, and the generous slap kept slapping the face of the young man. The strong men of the academy did not stop it.

In the moment when the four of them were talking to Master Ge, Mu Nezhen was slapped five more times. The thirteen-year-old boy was miserable, and in an instant, another front tooth collapsed, and at the same time, all the ascending dragon qi in the sky above Qingyang Town dissipated.

The stormy town sky rumbled with thunder. The clear sky disappeared and the day was like darkness, and only when the thick lightning pierced the night sky, did the light be seen in a flash in the pan.

Everyone in the town, including the high-ranking gods and martial artists, had a dull chest, as if they had a kind of suppressed breathing difficulty. A sense of apocalyptic crisis creeps over the peaceful town.

After all, it is the woman's delicate mind, and the woman in the palace dress keenly discovers that the collapse of the teeth of the true sentence and the weather anomaly occur together. Immediately shouted: "Stop immediately." ”

The county order must be treated respectfully, and the big man in charge of the punishment does not dare to slack off in the slightest. Mali had to stop moving his hands.

The vision of the sky also dissipated as the executioner stopped. The young man's eyes were red, and his face was swollen like a steamed bun, and he was covered in blood. was actually tortured and had his blood groove drawn, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and he continued to tell his unwillingness. At this time, the young man was stubborn and stubborn, and a tendon in his brain would not turn, and he believed that his treatment was unfair, and he was unwilling.

The powerhouses of the four academies are not stupid, and others can also see the clues of the situation. The old man appeared next to the big man in charge of the execution, and waved his hand to fan the latter away.

The old man didn't use all his strength, and the big man was in good health. Knocking down the tables and chairs on both sides of the public hall and slumping to the ground is not a big deal.

Of course, these were not taken into account by the old man at all, so he picked up the two missing front teeth, spread them in the palm of his hand, and moved them to Xingzhen's eyes.

The old man asked, "How did you feel when you lost these two teeth?"

After thinking about it, the young man stammered and said, "There are only two teeth left to be replaced, they were originally loose, and they fell off after being beaten, so I don't have any special feelings." “

The young man then said: "Master Ge is unfair, he really refuses to accept the punishment, and he is really unwilling to accept the punishment. ”

The old man thought of all kinds of strange answers, but he didn't expect the child to change his teeth. This time he was suffocated, and his face was flushed.

The other three also gathered around Xingzhen at this time, looking at the monster and staring at the wooden boy sitting on the ground. Ignoring the boy's stubbornness, he proposed to take him to the back hall for a closer inspection.

Xing Zhen escaped a catastrophe, but his status rose. The two officials who had just held down Xingzhen were now the servants of Xingzhen, one carrying Xingzhen on his back, and the other was blowing wind in the back to relieve Xingzhen's pain.

The young man did not appreciate it, and repeated the words just now, he was really unconvinced and unwilling.

The four academy powerhouses entered the back hall with Xing Zhen, leaving the fat Lord Ge standing in place at a loss. I can only pray in my heart: "Don't anger the strong people of the academy, otherwise the official hat will not be guaranteed." ”

The four academy powerhouses observed Xingzhen for an hour, but they never found the slightest abnormality. And this young man from Mu Ne doesn't have a bright mind, and his martial arts and divine cultivation qualifications are all ordinary. Compared to the other children in the town, it was a difference.

The four powerhouses gradually lost their patience, and their mood turned from curiosity to loss. It's not a dislike for Xingzhen, it can only be regarded as a meeting in Pingshui. Ignoring the boy's repeated words, he didn't get a clue to let him go.

This is the end of the court ruling. After all, he is a strong man who has come out of the academy, and he doesn't want to see the bad things of the government oppressing the people, and it is a thing that cannot be seen on the table such as children fighting. After Xing Zhen left, he ordered Lord Ge not to dwell on this matter, which was considered to be the end of it.

The general, Ji Leng, Su Qingyi, and the slugs have not left. Seeing that Xingzhen came out, he immediately burst into tears and smiled, and gathered around the wooden boy to ask for warmth.

Children have pure hearts and will not think of the way to get rich as Lord Ge thinks. But I didn't like the fat county order from the bottom of my heart, and I didn't forget to look back at the government before leaving, and I was indignant.

The young man clenched his fists and said nothing.

Xing Zhen's family lived in a thatched hut in the back mountain of Qingyang Town, the general and Ji Leng went to the town to catch medicine and did not return, Su Qingyi and Slugs were busy cooking, and Xing Zhen leaned alone against the charred wooden stake. Underneath him was a red slate that served as a bench.

Mu Nexing really feels that if his parents were alive, they wouldn't be as humiliated as they are today. In the memory of the poor boy, he has been running on the way to move.

Every time a new settlement is found, it will have to be replaced in a few days. On the way to move again and again, my father with vague memories got lost.

Xing Zhen didn't know where his father was, but he knew that on the way to the journey, his father said that he was out to find some food, and the vague figure of the man never returned.

After so many years, the young man finally understood that his father was more than lucky. Many times I wanted to go to the place where my father lost again. Maybe it's a glimmer of hope, wanting to see the blurry figure and keep it in mind.

It's just that I'm too young now and don't have the ability to protect myself, so I can't go out for a long journey.

My mother had been in poor health, and it was only after moving to the town that I saw my mother relax. I was thinking that I could finally live in peace for a few years.

But his health deteriorated, and he didn't survive the cold winter of that year. On the eve of the first Chinese New Year's Eve when she moved to the town, her ailing mother died. At that time, the Mune child was only five years old, and the time flew by for eight years, and now the Mune boy is thirteen years old.

The appearance of the mother is still fresh in my memory, and the tall figure is pale all day long, and even the lips are pale, without much blood.

Although he is tall, he always speaks softly. At least in Xingzhen's impression, I haven't seen my mother lose her temper.

Before dying, the tall woman almost exhausted all her strength, holding the little hand of the five-year-old torturer and repeatedly admonished: "My son, you have to remember. Although our family is poor now, you must not look down on yourself. Always believe that you are the best and most honorable. The criminal family is now your only seedling, and you must not sell yourself to fight and cut off the incense of the criminal family. ”

"I'm not stupid, I'm not stupid, I'm the best. In the future, if you don't succeed in doing things once, you will do it twice, and if you don't succeed in two times, you will do it three times, and one day you will do what you want to do. “

"The broken gourd should be kept well, and it is best to hold wine. If you don't have money to fill wine and water, you have to take a sip every day. Remember to take good care of the small gourd, the punishment is the most important, and the gourd is the second. ”

Xing Zhen vaguely remembered that his mother may have been afraid that she would be too sad to leave someone behind, so she kept stroking the little head of the five-year-old child before she died. The tall woman's eyes sparkled, but they didn't slip off half of them.

Until the mother stopped breathing and heartbeat, she still kept her eyes open and fixed on the weak child. I don't want to die, and I don't want to look away. The world is helpless and helpless, and the young man is single and shadowy.

I really did a good job of telling my mother, and I hope that I am obedient enough to satisfy my mother, and I give myself a warm smile in my dream. But dreams are dreams after all, and they have never come true.

Five-year-olds live on their own. Stepping on a small bench to cook, carrying a small bucket to fetch water, saving money to do laundry and take care of yourself. He worked in a blacksmith shop to support himself, and he spent eight years without incident. Stumbling grew from five to thirteen.

Speaking of the blacksmith shop, I have to say that there are two good people in Qingyang Town, one is the merchant uncle of the blacksmith shop. He was not a tall but sturdy man.

Uncle Shang's personality is quite heroic and informal, and he is also informal. The beard is cleaned up every few days, and often has a layer of stubble on his face.

Needless to say, the perennial black robe is always the same style in spring, summer, autumn and winter. If it weren't for his wife Shang's close attention and frequent washing, I am afraid that this Uncle Shang's clothes would not take the initiative to change once after a year.

Uncle Shang is the father of the slug merchant Rocky. adopted the orphan Ji Leng, and when Xingzhen was lonely and helpless, he took the initiative to find the child and let him work in the blacksmith shop to earn some money to support himself.

The blacksmith couple took good care of Xingzhen, especially Shang's mother, who often beat and scolded Uncle Shang and Shang Luoqi, but never scolded Xingzhen.

This is very rare, the handyman apprentices in the blacksmith shop, including the adopted orphan Ji Leng. No one could escape the clutches of the Shang clan, except for Xing Zhen.

Shang is also the kind of knife mouth tofu heart, and every time he scolds, it is only a quarter of an hour after he scolds, and he still prepares food for everyone in the blacksmith shop. Although it is coarse tea and light rice, it has a unique flavor after being cooked by Shang's family.

Although Xingzhen is wooden, he can feel the kindness of the Shang couple. Words don't express it, but they keep gratitude in their hearts. Now he can't repay Uncle Shang and his wife, so he has to put his gratitude on Ji Leng and Shang Luoqi in the blacksmith shop.

Another good man is Mr. Su from the private school in Qingyang Town, who is dressed in white Rushan all day long, and seems to be just a dress, a headband with a magic crown, and a feather fan with a few feathers left.

Mr. Su also adopted an orphan, who was the general. Mr. Su took the initiative to find Xingzhen and asked him to go to a private school to study and write, and he did not charge a penny.

Coincidentally, Xingzhen also had questions. Why can Uncle Shang and Mr. Su adopt other children, but they don't say a word about him. The young man had doubts but did not complain, and was still very grateful to the two.

I also thought about asking the two benefactors why they would adopt an orphan each by such a coincidence, but I never found the right opportunity to ask. Of course, Uncle Shang and Mr. Su are good people, not just because they adopted orphans.

Treat the people of the town as well as help if you can, and be generous in every detail. The residents of Qingyang Town have always had a good reputation for these two black and white men.

The atmosphere of the private school is much more comfortable than that of the blacksmith shop, Su is generous and decent, and she is also a talented woman, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and female workers and girls can do everything.

These were not taught to the general Zhenhe, but were only taught to their only daughter Su Qingyi.

With the help of two good people, Xingzhen has lived a life of working in a blacksmith shop in the morning and reading and writing in the afternoon, and he has been doing it for eight years.

In the past eight years, he has made friends with Ji Leng and Shang Luoqi in the blacksmith shop, Su Qingyi and the general in the private school. Uncle Shang and Mr. Su are also good friends, so these five children often play together and naturally become friends.

Xing Zhen was not afraid of the hardships of the blacksmith shop, nor was he afraid of the loneliness when he was alone, and he persevered for eight years, and never thought of selling himself to a large family to be a servant.

Xingzhen started in the blacksmith shop from the small work of identifying stones. Knowing that he is stupid and slow to react, so every time there is a new stone, he will carefully inspect it one by one before others, so as to facilitate the selection of materials without delaying time.

I worked as a stone selection worker for four years, and in the second year, I took the initiative to ask to go into the mountains with Uncle Shang to select stones. Staying overnight in the mountains again and again, trekking through mountains and rivers again and again. Xing Zhen followed Uncle Shang to almost all the mountains near the town, and also saw all kinds of stones.

Is it hard for a seven-year-old child to climb mountains and wade through water? Every time the young man was asked if he was tired, Xingzhen would answer honestly: "Tired." ”

But the small body did not mean to rest, but walked in front of Uncle Shang first. At night, he will be alone, picking the blisters on his feet and secretly touching tears.

Maybe Uncle Shang was careless and careful, and he took Xingzhen into the mountain to select materials, and the first time he only walked for half a day, and the second time he walked for half a day. I don't know how many times it took before Fang Zhen led Xingzhen to spend the night in the mountains.

When he was nine years old, he began to forge iron, but his body was thin and weak, and he did not have the strength of the hammer well. Either the force is too light or the hammer is off, the wooden boy is not discouraged, others rest and relax, and the wooden boy turns the hammer and clangs.

Other apprentices started forging at the beginning of the meal, and started work when the punishment was Zhenyin, and the night did not retreat, and the small body board jingled.

The same is true for reading and literacy, listening attentively in the afternoon at the private school, and not forgetting to review what they have learned that day after returning home for dinner. Every day you have to spend twice as much time as others. Although he was wooden, he was not left behind by the other disciples.

Regarding the tattered little gourd, the young man was afraid of losing it, but fortunately he tied it to the belt of his waist. I don't know how many years the little gourd has been handed down, and the yellow* skin has already rubbed off half of it.

The remaining half is still because of a layer of oily and shiny slurry, and it does not continue to fall off. In short, half of the pulp is yellow and half black underneath.

Suffering unfair grievances in the public court and being beaten by the hand, the young man did not give in and was not sad, and some only did not accept it. When the parents and relatives sounded, the young man's heart lake rippled, and the heart lake embankment also burst. The clear eyes are shining, and there is longing and sadness.

There was also a change above the clouds, and the old man in black sighed softly: "What the hell is going on with the dragon qi? This town has a lot of secrets? It's a pity that we can't find out across the border." ”

The old man in white sneered: "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, although you are high, there are still places you can't understand." This is providence. ”

"There is only one person left in the Xingzhen family in the Trapped Dragon Continent, so why do you have to press every step of the way. It's just a small plane boy, why rush to kill them all?"

The old man in black said disdainfully: "I'm too lazy to explain to you, I don't want to be different." Just as you proposed to fight them to the death, I propose to shake hands with them. You and I are not in the same warship, so naturally we will not think about each other. ”

The old man in white asked rhetorically: "Cooperate with them, are we still ourselves?"

The old man in black said to himself: "I don't know if it's me, but it's good to be alive." It's always much better than being scattered. ”

"The ascending dragon qi has dissipated, see who can stop me. When the head cannon fights cattle across the mountains. ”

The old man in white: "Riding a horse galloping to defend and counterattack." ”

One day in heaven and one year on earth, two old men above the clouds, each son has to ponder for a long time. In the eyes of the two old men, it is nothing but Erer, but in the small town, time is in a hurry.
