Guiwu City is a fortress-like city, its walls are fifteen meters high, and the arrow tower and pheasant moat overlook the city, warning any enemy who dares to invade Guiwu, the moat is wide and deep, and the river water is poured into it, and under the river there are sharpened wooden sticks densely covered underneath. The rulers of Wucheng never skimped on the maintenance of the city's defenses. He also decreed that at the time of the siege, all those who could fight in the city must be sent by the authorities.

Guiwu City originated from the dynasty's reclamation of Guanbei, when two hundred years ago the first reclamation team was stationed on the bank of the Gui River, its leader saw that the four fields were vast, the surrounding barrenness, only the Gui River in the middle, so his camp was called Guiwu outpost. Between the nearly 100 years of war with the barbarians, the outpost of Guiwu became an important town of Guiwu, and the barbarians were driven to the deep mountains and old forests, and the treasures of heaven and earth that were constantly transported returned to Wucheng to the south, achieving its prosperous commerce.

For the sake of wealth and martial arts, a large number of people gathered in Wucheng. The threat of the barbarians is gone, but there is no shortage of danger in Guiwucheng. Whenever natural and man-made disasters occurred, many displaced people poured into Guanbei, and some of them were officially incorporated into the workers and peasants under its rule. There are also some people who have been selected by the martial arts clan or yakuza who have returned to Wucheng to become a member of the samurai. However, a considerable number of people have fallen into the grass and become cowards, making a living by plundering or joining cults as a victim.

In those years, the reclamation teams in Kanbei were both official and civil, and the official ones were officially recognized and protected by the government, and became various martial arts sects. The folk are not officially recognized, so they rely on themselves and evolve into various gangster forces in Guanbei. The biggest gang in Guiwucheng is none other than the Windrush Troupe, whose founder is not officially recognized, but considers himself a follower of the Qingyuan Emperor, and regards the Qingyuan Emperor as its founding ancestor, and its actions and management also follow the official system, becoming the most non-governmental civil society.

When Wei Zeng and Wei Zhen arrived at his house with Gu Cha, they encountered a sad scene. The scene of Gu Chayi's mother sending her husband and son on a long trip two days ago is still in front of her, and now her son has returned, and her husband has become a corpse. Gu's mother is a strong woman who endures the pain in her heart and comforts her crying son. Maybe when she chose to marry a martial artist, she was ready to accept the current ending.

When Gu Cha's crying stopped, Gu Mu noticed the existence of Wei Zeng and Wei Zhen, and asked the reason, so she invited the two to live in her own house, and she was entitled to repay her son for saving her son. Wei Zeng thought that he hadn't landed yet, and then looked at Xiao Weizhen, who was already very tired, so he agreed, and it was a big deal to wait a few days for him to find a place to live before moving out. As soon as Gu Cha got home, he finally couldn't bear the fatigue and fell asleep. After the ancient mother covered her son with a quilt, she opened up her husband's funeral.

In the next few days, Wei Zeng saw that Gu Mu was busy with people, and although her expression was sad, she did not cry. When the husband was buried outside the city, there was a cry of bitterness when he returned to his mother's room. Wei Zeng once heard the old people in the village say that if a person is subjected to great sorrow, if he does not cry, he will either go crazy or die. It seems that Gu Mu can start a new life.

As soon as Gu Cha woke up in the evening of the same day, he was determined to practice martial arts to avenge his father, and in the following days, Gu Cha got up early in the morning to practice martial arts, and followed Wei Zeng around to seek art.

As a month passed, the sky was snowing heavily, the eaves and streets were covered with snow, the shops were closed early, and ordinary people were warming up with wine around the stove. On the street on this snowy day, the two teenagers stepped on the snow that had reached their ankles, and walked towards their homes step by step, it was Wei Zeng and Gu Chayi, who were running through various martial arts halls and sects. I only heard Gu Chayi constantly complaining: "They really look down on people too much, they only let us do some chores all day long, and they have to be yelled at by those martial artists, do they really treat us as miscellaneous servants." At least a few tricks should be taught. ”

Wei Zeng smiled bitterly in his heart: "They naturally treat us as miscellaneous servants, who will teach martial arts to miscellaneous servants?" But he didn't say it. just responded: "Okay, stop complaining, if he doesn't teach us to go to the next one, someone will teach us martial arts." When he said this, Wei Zeng himself didn't believe it.

A month ago, Wei Zeng and Gu Cha went to the martial arts hall to learn that if they wanted to learn art in the martial arts hall, they either had to pay a large amount of money for learning art, or they had to pass a certain test. The test is divided into strength, agility. As long as you pass the same, you can be accepted as a registered disciple. The strength test is to lift items of different weights according to different ages, and the weight of the items increases with age, after all, it is a test, and the weight of the item can be called the limit of age. Wei Zeng lived a hard life and was relatively thin; Gu Chayi has been pampered since he was a child, not to mention.

The agility test is to retrieve a specific item from a dozen rotating arms. The two tried it, but they were beaten blue and purple. There is no money, and they can't pass the test, and the two are very disappointed. A supervisor told them that they could do miscellaneous work in the martial arts hall first, and in case they were taken by any martial artist, they could also learn martial arts if they were accepted as apprentices, but the wages for doing miscellaneous labor were very low, and they would be settled every day. So the two of them did miscellaneous work with hope, but a month has passed, and they have seen enough of the faces of those martial artists, where to put the two in their eyes. The two were also disappointed and decided to try their luck at a different martial arts gym.

Walking into the small courtyard of the ancient family, Xiao Weizhen heard the door knock and knew that the two were back, so he rushed out happily. At this time, Wei Zhen was wearing a floral cloth jacket, his hair was combed into a small braid, and his face was a little ruddy after a month of rest. Yuzhen took something from the two of them and placed it on a table. The two took off their felt hats, shook off the snow on their bodies, and entered the house. I saw Gu's mother bring a plate of dishes and put it on the dining table, and said to the two: I'm back. So he told them to wash their hands and eat.

As soon as Wei Zeng and Gu Cha handed over the day's income to Gu Mu, they sat down. Wei Zhen brought the main food and sat down. Watching the four of them have fun, it's really like a family.

Because Wei Zeng lived in the Gu family, he handed over the money to the ancient mother. Gu Mu didn't accept it at the beginning, Wei Zeng said that he still needs Gu Mu to take care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation after living here, and he hopes that Gu Mu can help buy some daily necessities. I am still young and have no place to use money, if I need it, I can ask Gu Mu. Seeing this, Gu Mu said that she would save the money for Wei Zeng first. Seeing that her son went out early and returned late with Wei Zeng every day in order to survive and seek art, and her delicate face became more and more resolute, Gu's mother was distressed and relieved. Xiao Weizhen has lived a hard life since he was a child, and learned weaving and embroidery from his mother, and the needlework is already very good at a young age. This month, she can also earn some money through needlework, and naturally it is also handed over to Gu Mu. Now Weizhen has no drunkard father's beating, no creditor's coercion, plus the love of the three people, and his personality is gradually cheerful, not as timid as before.

"The snow should stop tomorrow, and the heavy snow is a good time for hunting, so let's go hunting outside the city tomorrow." If you're lucky, you can sell it for a good price. Wei Zeng looked at the heavy snow outside the window and said to Gu Cha.

"Okay, anyway, I don't want to go to the martial arts hall tomorrow to be angry, so I'll hunt first to relieve my mood, and then go to find a teacher and seek art." Gu Chayi also agreed.

"Brother Wei, are you going to hunt outside the city tomorrow, I want to go with you." Xiao Weizhen said, seeing Wei Zeng frowning and hurriedly said, "I can help you get the prey, and it won't drag you down." ”

"Wei Zeng, it's not dangerous to go hunting anyway, just let Weizhen follow." When Gu Cha saw that Wei Zhen wanted to go, he also helped persuade him.

"If you want to go, go for it. But we're going to go for a day, so don't shout cold or tired. Wei Zeng smiled and patted Wei Zhen's head in agreement.

Xiao Weizhen was relieved to see Wei Zeng agree, and he was also happy. At the dinner table, I kept serving Wei Zeng vegetables. Gu Cha said sourly: "I also promised you that if you go, I will thank you Brother Wei and leave me alone." Xiao Weizhen stuck out his tongue at Gu Cha and added a few dishes to him. Then he talked to Wei Zeng again. It's good that Gu Cha is not depressed.

Gu Mu heard that the two of them were going to hunt for a day, and early the next morning, she cooked a few pieces of meat and filled a pot of soju to serve as dry food for the three of them today. After breakfast, the three of them covered their bodies tightly, took their weapons and went out of the city.

Gu Chayi's father was a martial artist, and he had a lot of weapons at home. Although Gu Chayi can't learn martial arts, he must have learned it, and when he shoots arrows, although he can only pull the bow apart for a short time because of his small strength, the lethality is not great, but the accuracy is still very good. Gucha carried a bow and arrows on his back and a spear in his hand. Wei Zeng pinned ten flying knives to his waist and held a steel staff. Weizhen followed behind the two with dry food and wine jugs.

After leaving the city, the three of them first explored some traps laid by Wei Zeng a few days ago, but they didn't gain anything. It turned out that Wei Zeng and Gu Cha set up a few traps as soon as they asked for art during the day and couldn't have too much time to hunt. If you look at it every few days, you can sometimes catch an unlucky beast.

The snow covered the sky, and the white color stretched to the horizon and mountains in the distance, and the trees in the distance were also covered in plain. Due to the presence of snow, the traces of wild beasts are revealed, and the beasts can be found by following the traces.

In the middle of the day, I saw a roe deer, foraging in the woods, and suddenly an arrow shot at its leg, and the roe deer stumbled and ran, and a flying knife came and hit its neck, and the roe deer died with a whimper.

"Luckily, I caught a roe deer." As soon as Gu Cha stepped forward, he pulled out the arrows and throwing knives, and tied the legs and feet of the roe deer with ropes and carried them on his back.

"It's already noon, let's rest first, and then go hunting after eating dry food." Wei Yan took the flying knife handed by Gu Chayi and said to the two.

The three of them swept the snow from the boulder under the tree, and sat there, eating dry food and drinking. Looking at Xiao Weizhen, who had been breathing, Wei Zeng handed over the wine jug and said, "You can also take a sip to warm your body, don't freeze to death." Weizhen took the flask and took a sip, spicy tears, but swallowed it too. A wave of heat came in my head, dizzy, but not so cold.

Seeing a flush on Wei Zhen's face, Gu Cha smiled and said, "Wei Zhen has also become a little drunkard, be careful that you can't marry in the future." Hehe. Yuzhen glared at him, snorted, and ignored him.

The three of them caught four hares, a fox, and a roe deer in the morning, and the harvest was okay. After resting, the three of them continued to search for the beast. "We're a little far away, it's dark early in winter, look for it for a while, and go back, if it's dark, you won't be able to enter the city." The two said yes.

After walking out of the grove, the three of them walked forward and saw an amazing scene, only to see five wolves surrounding a samurai with a spear in one hand, and the samurai kept sweeping the spear to force back the wolves who were about to attack, and his clothes had several scratches and bite marks, but fortunately the man was not injured.

"Brother Wei, look, that man is surrounded by wolves, should we save him." Wei Zhen was a little surprised to see the wolf, but she was not afraid, in her eyes, Wei Zeng was omnipotent.

"Wei Zeng, what are we going to do, are we going to run or help." Gu Cha said with a trembling voice, which showed the horror in his heart.

"Wait, wait for the opportunity to move, if the person is dead, run quickly, if there is a chance, help the person." Although Wei Zeng was also nervous, he immediately decided.

I saw a wolf rushing forward and was about to bite the samurai, and the samurai squeezed through the wolf's body and killed the wolf.

The two wolves took the opportunity to attack the samurai one left and one right, the samurai spear swept to the right, sweeping the right wolf to the ground, and the left leg raised and kicked, kicking the left wolf to the ground. It was a clean move.

But there were two wolves, and I saw that another wolf opened its mouth and bit it, and the samurai put the gun against the wolf's mouth to avoid injury, and pulled out the dagger from his waist with his left hand, aimed it under the wolf's jaw, and penetrated the wolf's brain from the bottom up, resulting in the wolf's life.

Unexpectedly, the last wolf took the opportunity to attack and bit the samurai's left arm. The samurai shook the wolf away with a painful flick, only to tear off a piece of flesh from him. After the pain, the samurai's body eased slightly.

The two wolves that were knocked down before, as soon as they got up, immediately attacked, one wolf bit the samurai's back and the samurai's cotton clothes, and tore off a piece of cotton wool to see the cotton wool flying, the wolf's paws flashed coldly, leaving a few blood marks on the samurai's back.

The second wolf, when he took the opportunity to open his big mouth, was about to bite the samurai's throat, and if there was no accident, the samurai's life would be lost.

The samurai escaped from the hands of death and struck a furious blow, breaking the wolf's spine with a stick and the wolf falling to the ground.

When Gu Cha Yi shot an arrow, Wei Zeng also sent out a flying knife, but its target was to bite the wolf in the arm of the samurai, he had seen Gu Chayi's archery skills, knew that he shot the arrow very accurately, and saw that after the wolf ate the flesh and blood, the fierce light in his eyes was even worse, and he was about to attack the samurai, so he shot a flying knife and rushed over with a steel cane.

The sword wounded the wolf, causing the wolf to abandon the samurai and pounce on the wounder. Wei Zeng's staff hit the wolf's mouth, and the wolf was bleeding all over his mouth, and he erected another rod, hitting the fierce wolf's head, shattering his head and killing him.

Gu Cha shot an arrow and Wei Zeng sent a knife almost at the same time, seeing Wei Zeng rushing towards a wolf, and the warrior also killing a wolf, he threw down his longbow and picked up his spear and rushed towards the last wolf. I saw that Gu Cha was holding a spear in one hand, and stabbed at the wolf, and the wolf did not back down when he saw someone attacking, and rushed over, jumped sideways to avoid the spear, and slashed one paw on one of Gu Cha's legs. Gucha parried at the wolf with the barrel of his gun and pushed forward to avoid more damage. As soon as the wolf retreated, he saw that Wei Zeng had killed his companion and that he had been surrounded, and he was about to flee. Gu Cha stabbed one by one, and the wolf jumped away from it. Wei Zeng held a steel-headed staff and struck it, and the wolf jumped and dodged again, and then fled in the direction of the wounded warrior.

But I don't want that although the warrior is injured, he is also the strongest martial artist among the three, how can he be escaped by it. As soon as the samurai swept away, the wolf was knocked to the ground. Gu Cha stabbed the wolf with a spear, but Gu Cha was now in a high mood, unable to calm down, his hands trembled, his mouth screamed, and he stabbed the wolf corpse more than a dozen times.

"I killed the wolf, I can kill the wolf." There was a hint of madness in his eyes. Wei Zeng patted him on the shoulder to calm him down a little.
