Under a small hill, there are more than 20 small villages with thatched huts scattered in two or two places, called Dayuan Village. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In a thatched hut on the west side of Dayuan Village near the hillside, several people were discussing things.

"Little brother, I'll go, this food is enough for you and your mother to last, I'm the elder brother, it's time to support the burden of the family."

Xu Yao was 16 years old that year, and in the face of the conditions thrown by an old man with a childish face, he agreed without thinking about it.

"No, brother, let's go, just because you are old, and there is no one around your mother to take care of you, my eldest brother stays to take care of my mother, and I am also relieved."

"Don't argue, little brother, because I'm older, so I have a lot of food."

"Big brother, I'm young and can't make much of a difference, so I'd better go."

Speaking of which, the two brothers were silent for a while.

Due to overwork, the Xu Yao brothers' mother fell ill and had been bedridden for some time.

At first, I took some medicine, but now I can get up and sit in the first half of the day, and I can't get up when the sun is west, I really don't know if I have any disease or encounter something dirty (referring to ghosts), that is, at that time, HB Julu Daxian Zhang Jiao was in the limelight.

Zhang Jiao founded Taiping Dao, according to rumors, the great sage and good teacher are the apprentices of Nanhua old immortals, anyway, they are very powerful, that can call the wind and rain, there is nothing that cannot be done.

Xu Yao and Xu Wei don't know where the hb giant deer is, plus the plague and famine every year over the years, more than ten of us have starved to death this year, not to mention that there is no entanglement, there is no food, and there is no surplus, the key is that the mother's illness cannot be delayed.

Over the years, plagues have continued, disasters and famines every year, coupled with the collusion between officials at all levels and the children of eunuchs in the palace to forcibly occupy the land of the people, and everywhere they go, they have been corrupt and brutal, and in the past year or so, more than 100 people have starved to death in the nearby three miles!

Letting their mother live was the only wish of the brothers Xu Wei and Xu Yao, so the two brothers, under the advice of the old Chinese medicine doctor in the village, took turns to go to the mountains not far from their homes to find a medicinal herb.

On this day, it was Xu Yao's turn to go up the mountain to look for medicinal herbs, and he carried a medicine basket on his back, and his thin body bones and his own tall medicine basket shuttled among the steep mountains and rocks.

The long tattered straw sandals exposed their skin, and they were occasionally scratched by one or two sharp stones with clear water chestnuts, but Xu Yao was not afraid, and his little face was full of determination.

As long as the mother's illness can be cured, no matter how much suffering is worth it.

Because there is not much surplus food at home, Xu Yao and his brother cook a big pot of porridge with a handful of millet every day, so when they were just half waist, they were already a little dizzy with hunger.

Suddenly, his feet slipped, and Xu Yao rolled down into the ravine with a grunt, and there was a boulder in the ravine, under the boulder

The vigorous spring water overflows from it, flowing on the bluestone slab by the spring, and with the bare grass stalks around it, a depressed picture of "the clear spring stone is upstream" is presented to people's eyes.

After climbing for most of the day, Xu Yao felt that his throat was about to smoke, and suddenly saw that there was spring water, and he was overjoyed, forgetting the pain, and even running over with a handful of spring water.

"Ahh

There was a stinging pain in his mouth like a burning fire, and Xu Yao rolled on the ground in pain.

Xu Yao, who was tumbling on the ground, saw an old man in a crane-haired and childish white robe who was slowly walking towards the spring, and the white robe on the old man's body was agitated in the wind, quite a bit of fairy wind bones.

Xu Yao thought that the old man was also thirsty and wanted to drink water from the spring, so he was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "No, you can't drink it, water." ”

Simple five words, Xu Yao really took a lot of effort to say it.

The old man laughed "hehe", and very lovingly helped Xu Yao who was lying on the ground up.

Unexpectedly, as the old man's hand touched Xu Yao, Xu Yao felt a sense of relief for no reason, which was something he had never done before.

Xu Yao thought about it, did he meet a master outside the world?! There are many hermit immortals in the deep mountains, who know the art of Qihuang, can refine pills, live people's lives, live for a long time, and live with heaven and earth.

"Plop-" sounded, ignoring the stones of different sizes underneath, Xu Yao knelt down.

"Old fairy, please, save my mother!"

"Alas, little doll, do you know that people's names are destined by heaven, and if you want your mother to live, that is to go against the sky!

In the end, the old man's accent was obviously heavier.

The old man continued: "I have pity on you for a kind heart, and I am willing to take care of others, which has temporarily saved you from your suffering, but it is only temporary. ”

"Do you know that many people in this world will lose their lives every minute, maybe in the eyes of God, you are as humble as ants, and if you die, you will die" Speaking of this, the old man glanced at Xu Yao who was kneeling meaningfully.

"Old fairy, can you save my mother?" Xu Yao asked resolutely.

"Oh, hehe, people are going to die, little doll." The old man looked at the naïve but resolute young man in front of him, showing some interest.

"But, however, my mother has brought me and my brother up with hard work, and until now we have not enjoyed even the slightest blessing." Speaking of this, Xu Yao raised his head, his eyes filled with tears, "So, I'm not reconciled, I want my mother to be able to live, no matter what the cost, as long as my mother can live." ”

"There's a pill here that can eradicate all the incurable diseases in the world, but—"

"Can you cure my mother's illness?" Xu Yao asked eagerly.

"Absolutely."

After receiving the old man's affirmative reply, Xu Yao showed an ecstatic expression: "So, what do I need to pay for the old man?" ”

"Hehe, little doll, life has been so hard, are you really ready to endure this ordeal?

The old man said solemnly, "For a while, but the ugly words are ahead, if you can't pass the final test, what awaits you will be endless hell!" ”

"I don't care!" Xu Yao said solemnly.

So, there was the previous scene, the two brothers argued over who would go, and in the end Xu Yao went.

Xu Yao looked at Liu Bei in front of him, he felt that it was time to repay Zhang Jiao's kindness, so he pulled out the knife he carried with him and prepared to fight Liu Bei to the death.
