Li Huaiyu traveled south for three days, then lost his way again and ran east. He hurried in the sun during the day, and settled in the broken temple or broken kiln at night, so Xiaoxing stayed overnight, hungry and thirsty, and rushed for half a month, leaving nothing left of the five taels of silver flowers given by Zhang Lao. From then on, he could only live by begging for tea and food every day. If he meets a well-wisher, he can also ask for a bowl of hot rice to eat, but if he meets a person with a perverse temperament, instead of giving him food, he will be driven out and scolded bitterly. In this world of cold and unpredictable people, he has endured the cynicism, abuse and abuse of others. He wanted to live with dignity and be admired by all people, but reality simply did not allow him to live his own way. Along the way, he endured the wind and rain, tasted the bitterness and bitterness, was scarred by being beaten by others, and often endured the sharp words of others. He and his soul are tormented every day. He didn't dare to think about it because he thought about it because he felt that those ideas were too extravagant. He has only one purpose at the moment, and that is to try to survive.

Only when people live can they have hope.

Li Huaiyu ran for a month, entered a prosperous town, and saw all kinds of food sold by others, and was very greedy, but he had no money to buy it. Approaching the steamed bun stall, looking at the big, white, steaming, and fragrant meat buns, he swallowed his saliva and stood in a daze.

"Hey, what are you looking for? Could it be that you want to steal my buns? The owner of the steamed bun seller was very uncomfortable when he saw a beggar with straight eyes and staring at his own steamed buns.

Li Huaiyu glanced at the boss of the buns: "You are so unreasonable, I don't have the money to buy steamed buns to eat, don't you even have the right to look at them?" ”

"I see." The boss saw that Li Huaiyu was pitiful, took out two steaming buns from the steamer and said, "Then I'll give you two buns!" ”

Li Sheng was very grateful to the boss for his righteous deeds, but he couldn't repay others, so he said: "Shopkeeper, your great kindness can't be repaid, I'll leave you two lines of poetry, right?" ”

The boss glanced at it contemptuously and said, "Do you know how to read and write?" What good poems can you write? ”

Li Huaiyu smiled and said: "Shopkeeper, I will leave a poem on your wall, if I don't write well, you can erase it." ”

The boss brought pen and ink and said impatiently: "Okay, you can write as you like!" ”

Li Huaiyu dipped the pen in ink, walked the dragon and snake on the wall, left four lines of poetry, turned around and took two buns, and walked towards the road.

The boss of the bun was taken aback, and saw that the words on the wall were plum blossom seal characters, and he said: "I didn't expect this poor flower to be a well-educated person, it seems that I can't look at people in the crack of the door anymore." ”

Many neighbors came around to take a closer look, only to see that the title of the poem was "Accumulating Kindness and Gathering Blessings", which reads as follows:

With a good heart and a grace,

Fulai runs to gather thousands of gold.

If one day the clouds come,

Hundreds of sons and thousands of grandchildren are favored by the emperor.

After reading this poem, people applauded loudly: "Good poetry ......" In a blink of an eye, the person who left the poem was long gone.

Li Huaiyu discussed this for half a month, and entered the territory of Songzhou on this day. But I saw that the black forest in front of me was dense, the mountains were high and the paths were narrow, and it seemed that there were often jackals, tigers and leopards infested, which was extremely dangerous. He did not dare to venture into the forest, and when he saw a village in the south, he took the road into the village. The village was unusually depressed, the villagers did not leave their homes or work, and the whole village was filled with a dead silence. Li Huaiyuxin said: "Could it be that the villagers are afraid of the fierce beasts in the forest and dare not go out? It's a pity that I'm just a weak scholar and can't help the villagers fight the tigers and leopards. Feeling hungry, he came to a grass hut and knocked on the door a few times.

After a while, an old woman came out of the door, saw a beggar outside the door, and said in a panic: "Poor flower, don't stay here, hurry up and escape, right?" ”

Li Huaiyu asked: "Old man, what kind of village is this, why do you stay at home?" ”

The old woman glanced around and said, "Xianggong, this is Fenghuo Village, and the villagers have been robbed by monsters in the deep mountains and old forests, and they don't dare to go out." ”

Li Huaiyu asked, "Isn't there a demon exterminator near the village?" Why don't people rebel? ”

The old woman sighed for a long time and said: "The son doesn't know, there are two demon kings in the Beacon Fire Village, and they are extremely fierce, and no one dares to provoke them. ”

"Two demon kings?"

"yes. The red-haired jackal summer bully of the big village master, with a pair of 100-pound copper hammers in his hands, is invincible in the world; The willow-waisted leopard shell of the second village is like the wind, good at making a steel knife in the door, unparalleled in the world, we are the little people fighting with them, which is tantamount to eggs touching the road, seeking a dead end. Now, the men in the village have all been arrested to be strong men, and the women have been tied back to be the ladies of the village, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled, all of them are frightened and frightened, like frightened birds. ”

"Then why don't you go to the local yamen to complain and let the officers and soldiers try to get rid of the monsters?"

The old woman said stupidly: "Alas, our relatives have been captured back to the mountains and forests, if the official offends those monsters, our relatives will be eaten." ”

At this time, a sweep of people rushed in from outside the village and came to Li Huaiyu.

A man riding a red horse, with a slender figure, armor, leather boots, and a steel knife in his hand, stared at Li Huaiyu and said, "Hehe, Uncle Bei was about to search for a strong man, but he didn't expect a poor flower to come." Tyre! If you want food, the lord sees that you are begging for tea and food, and you are hungry, and it is very hard, why don't you go up the mountain with me to be a soldier and eat with a mouthful of food? ”

Li Huaiyu asked, "Who are you?" ”

The man on horseback hugged his fists and said: "I am a willow-waisted leopard like the wind." ”

"It turns out that you are the leopard spirit of the second village master of Beacon Fire Village."

"Exactly."

Li Huaiyu was filled with righteous indignation, pointed at Bei Rufeng and scolded: "When the atrocities are notorious, the evil is full of evil, and the heavens and people are angry, aren't you afraid of being sent by heaven?" ”

Bei Rufeng was annoyed and ashamed, and shouted: "Come on, quickly escort this kid back to the cottage, cramp and peel the skin, dig out his heart and lungs, and let him know that he knows how powerful Uncle Pei is." ”

The four minions picked up Li Huaiyu and walked towards the mountain with a push.

Although Li Huaiyu was so frightened that his whole body trembled, he was angry in his heart, but he was not sad.

Bei Rufeng led the troops to the deep forest and was about to return to the village, but saw two people jumping down from the tree and blocking the way.

Li Huaiyu fixed his eyes and saw that there were two men wearing green scarves, green robes, green cloth shoes, long swords, and stubble on their faces that stood in front of him. The man in the north is in his thirties, and the man in the south is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, both of whom are very domineering.

Bei Rufeng carried the knife and asked, "Bah! Who is the friend in the way? ”

The man in the north clasped his fists and shouted: "The two of us are the Wuliang Mountain Jianyi and Yongwei of the Southern Zhao Kingdom. ”

Bei Rufeng hugged his fists and said: "It turns out that you are the famous Nanzhao Shuangxiong. Look up for a long time. What advice do you have for the unknown? ”

Yongwei said: "I have heard for a long time that there are two big demons in Fenghuo Village, specializing in bullying men and women, and harming the people. ”

Jian Yi asked: "Thief, you are the willow-waisted leopard Bei Rufeng, right?" ”

Bei Rufeng said with a heavy face: "So what? ”

Yongwei shouted with his sword: "In October last year, you killed three demon exterminators of my Wuliang Mountain in Fenghuo Village, this revenge is not shared, today is the time for us to settle the account." ”

Bei Rufeng said proudly: "Just because you are just two demon exterminators, you dare to speak out?" ”

Jian Yi said: "Kill the two monsters in your little beacon fire village, why do you need too many people?" As he spoke, he flew in stride, dancing his sword and slashing Bei's neck like the wind.

Bei Rufeng blocked the horizontal sword, shook the blade of the sword, flew up several feet, and swung the knife to slash out a fairy qi, which approached the sword righteousness. Jian Yi flashed sideways, and the immortal qi "rumbled" and shook a piece of yellow dust. The sword danced a sword flower, and it dodged and fought with Bei Rufeng.

Yongwei floated into the crowd, swinging his sword and killing with his minions.

Half of this gang of minions were forced to be strong men, and when they saw such a vicious fighting scene, they scattered in all directions, taking the opportunity to hug their heads and run away.

Li Huaiyu saw that everyone no longer paid attention to him, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to escape. He put his arms in his arms and threw off his stride to the east. He ran out of the five miles in one breath, and when he looked back, no one was chasing him, and he gasped a few times, only to find that he had escaped from the mountains. He said in his heart: "It's so dangerous, if it weren't for the two immortals of Nanzhao who came to find Bei Rufeng to seek revenge, it would be difficult for Xiaosheng to survive." I don't know if the sword and Yong Erxia can win the leopard demon! I have the heart to go back to help them, but I don't know martial arts, I don't know magic, and I will die in vain when I go back. Two brothers, Shu Huaiyu can't go back to save you. With his hungry stomach in his hands, he continued to walk.

That night, Li Huaiyu was looking for a broken kiln to hide, but he saw a hay truck parked on the side of the road, he climbed up and lay down in the haystack, feeling very comfortable and warm, and slowly fell into a coma. He slept for two days, and when he woke up, he found that he had been taken into a city by the owner of the car. Taking advantage of the lack of attention from the driver, he secretly jumped off the hay truck, walked through the street, and found that he had arrived in Xuzhou. Li Huaiyu hadn't eaten for three days, looking at the noisy and bustling streets, he was dizzy, staggered forward for half an hour, and suddenly his body went weak, and he fell to the ground with a "poof" and passed out.
