Chapter 3: The Old Man with a Shovel

The morning sun was shining, and last night's heavy snow had turned into a silvery white quilt covering all corners of the city. Guo Yixuan was excited, and seemed to hear his mother's crying, and he cried out in his heart: "It must be my mother's reluctance, what a big deal, isn't it just to go out and play with him for ten days, as for making such a fuss." "I tossed and turned last night and fell asleep in the early hours of the morning, and when I woke up, my spirit was a little sluggish, and the two dark circles under my eyelids were particularly obvious. After he freshened up, he thought that he could catch up on sleep on the comfortable air train on the way, so he didn't care. After eating breakfast, the housekeeper Uncle Li was already waiting outside the door, and the four guards in suits and leather shoes exuded a powerful aura, and they were respectfully separated.

Guo Yixuan originally wanted to say goodbye to his parents, but Uncle Li told him that the branch president and his wife had already gone out early in the morning. Guo Yixuan thought to himself, he came back to greet them, from this moment on, I am a free body, and my chaotic brain, which was originally due to lack of sleep, gradually became clear because of excitement. Looking around at this unique compound located in the center of Mengliang City, although Guo Fengxiao is against luxury life, he needs to be on the scale of his position and go online. Exquisite pavilions and pavilions, quiet and beautiful pool pavilion water corridor, as well as rockeries and cypresses, carved dragon painting building, elegant and solemn, quiet and without losing connotation.

Guo Yixuan raised his hand to open the car door, got into the luxurious business car, and Uncle Li and the escort arranged the luggage and congratulatory gifts, and followed closely behind and got into the car. The means of transportation in the Yellow Emperor Continent are relatively backward, and in the Poseidon Continent, which is in charge of transportation, small spaceships that can fly through solar energy can be seen everywhere. Uncle Li, the housekeeper who was sitting in the co-pilot seat on the road, turned around and said to Guo Yixuan: "Little master, you are the only son of the master, you must pay attention to safety when you go out." It's best not to reveal your identity. In the territory of Mengliang City, you can be said to have hands and eyes to the sky, but outside this realm, there are not a few people who have ill intentions towards you. Keep an eye on everything and don't be impulsive. Guo Yixuan nodded, "I understand Uncle Li's kindness, I will be careful." With that, he turned his head out the window.

The Sky Train runs through seven continents and is the main vehicle for the wealthy to travel long distances. The price of a ticket is almost half a year's ration for the common people. Because of the high price, the comfort level in the car is luxurious and high-grade, and it would have taken three days to reach it after a three-month journey, and the speed can be seen like a meteor. The Skytrain is also the main source of income for the Poseidon family, who have a firm grasp of the core technology of air flight.

Sent into the carriage, and after the arrangements were made, Uncle Li returned to the house. Enjoying the high-end treatment of a VIP room alone, Guo Yixuan has become commonplace. Indoor red wine and refreshments, cinema sound is available. He reclined comfortably on the recliner and watched the train gradually move forward, accelerating into a dazzling lightning bolt and speeding away, and the scenery outside the window could still see the bustling crowd for life, and then only the endless rural scenery could be seen. Even when the snow covers the ground in winter, you can still distinguish the rice fields on which humans depend. Since he was a child, his father taught him that the people take food as the sky, and he is familiar with all kinds of cultivation techniques, which is also the means for the Yellow Emperor family to survive. With hazy eyes, he gradually fell asleep, and in his dream, a little girl wearing a hairpin and dancing after colorful butterflies lingered in front of his eyes. That's his childhood playmate - Liuli, since he was adopted by Granny Lotus as a goddaughter when he was three years old, every time he went to his parents as a child, the little girl would be around him like a little heel, let him tell her stories, play games together, and he enjoyed it and enjoyed that feeling. "Will you marry me when you grow up?" said to him, "I will, as long as you don't cry at every turn." "Then we agreed to pull the hook, as long as I don't cry in the future, you will come to marry me" "The hook will not change for a hundred years after hanging yourself... ”

A long whistle woke up Guo Yixuan in his sleep. He looked at the time and the distance was only halfway through, and at this moment the melodious girl came from the radio: "Good afternoon, dear passengers, due to the train breakdown and needs to stop at Jinling City for repair, it is expected to leave at eleven o'clock tonight, passengers can get off the train to visit Jinling City or rest in the carriage." We apologize for the inconvenience!" "It's a surprise that the Poseidon family's sky train is also out of order. That's fine, go to Jinling City. Guo Yixuan said to himself.

After saying hello to the guard, he got off the train alone. Jinling City is located in the south of the Yellow Emperor Continent is recognized as the city that never sleeps in the East, the streets are lined with wine shops, the twilight sunset afterglow is faintly sprinkled on the bright pavilions of red bricks and green tiles, adding a bit of hazy and poetic to this prosperous scene in front of you. There is a constant stream of hawkers displaying their wares, as well as Aboriginal and travellers. There is a lot of everything, medicine, clothes, snacks. Guo Yixuan came to a stall owner selling weapons, and the stall owner hurriedly recommended to him: "The weapons here are all produced in the Hades Continent, with a wide variety of good quality and low prices. It is definitely the best choice for you to go out and defend yourself! You see, this dagger is made of cold iron, and you can see that this pistol can easily collapse a cow with bullets. Guo Yixuan glanced at it a few times and shook his head, although he was not an expert in weapons, he also knew that the weapons produced in the real Hades Continent had the ability to recognize the contract of the Lord inherently. And through the fit with the master, a qualitative leap can occur when it reaches the second order. is just this pile of broken copper and iron, and even the spirituality is not fooling the little citizens, how can he fool him.

At this moment, there was a burst of shouting not far away, which attracted his attention. "The old man dares to ask for food here without paying protection money?" several ruffians shouted around an old man, with malicious intentions. Guo Yixuan squeezed through the crowd and saw an unkempt old man in tattered clothes and calloused hands sitting on the road. Although he was covered in dirt to a certain extent, a shovel beside him was polished bright and clean. "A few uncles wake up, old man, I am sixty years old this year, I have no children and no daughters, I am suffering from a vicious illness and dying soon, passing through this treasure land and seeing that my life is on the verge of death, I ask for a reward to buy a coffin, let me be buried in peace. "If you don't do this, you're a charlatan... Before he finished speaking, Guo Yixuan interrupted the words of a few ruffians: "A few little brothers, it's better to be like this, I think it's really not easy for this old man, I will give him the money for his coffin to let him leave here as soon as possible, and there are still some scattered coins here that should be regarded as filial piety to a few people for eating and drinking, and the big things have turned into small things, how about a few of them?" The ruffian who took the lead glanced at Guo Yixuan, and saw that he was dressed extraordinarily, he must be a famous disciple, and he didn't dare to offend, so he put the money in his pocket and whispered to Guo Yixuan: " Don't blame the master, where the responsibility lies. But this old man is by no means a good kind in the eyes of the people, so it is better not to be gullible. Guo Yixuan didn't care, "That's it, the old man has 10,000 coins here enough for you to see a doctor and treat, and the rest is more than enough for your retirement." Let's go back early!"

The crowd suddenly erupted in exclamations, "This young master is really generous!" "The sons of big families are different, with quality and education!" "If my little girl can find such a man, it will really be a blessing from my ancestors!" The old man hurriedly kowtowed and bowed: "Engong, you are the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva, I wish you all the best and good luck! The doctor is still waiting for me to take the money to grab the medicine, I will go now, I will go" After that, he picked up 10,000 yuan, put away the shovel and turned around and hurried away. The ruffian who took the lead glanced at Guo Yixuan, shook his head and left. Guo Yixuan thought to himself, "What is the responsibility, the young man is just a dog." "Do a good deed every day, Guo Yixuan is in a good mood, and unconsciously hums a little song to continue to wander.

Time flies and unconsciously it has been evening, the small merchants and vendors have closed their stalls and gone home, the red lanterns of the restaurants and nightclubs are hung high, the girls who solicit customers are wearing heavy makeup and bowing their heads to solicit business, the fire trees and silver flowers, and the nightlife of Jinling City has officially kicked off. Seeing that the moon was about to be in the sky, Guo Yixuan felt hungry in his stomach, and thought that from the afternoon to now, the water and rice have not been eaten, and he heard that the wine is drunk and Jinling is famous all over the world, so he must taste it. Inquire left and right to come to the Jinling Restaurant in the center of the city, push the door and enter. At this time, the hostess had already greeted him, "Hello sir, may I ask how many people are dining?" "One person, the best private room, the best wine and food, money is not a problem!" "Okay, please upstairs, please!" After saying that, a scantily clad girl greeted her, grabbed Guo Yixuan's arm and walked upstairs. Guo Yixuan's face was slightly red, and he didn't say anything and went with her.

When he went up to the second floor, Guo Yixuan paused, "Don't drink it, I really can't drink it, we still ... Well, let's get ready for the next part. Hey, hey, hey, hey, why is this drunken voice so familiar, could it be? Guo Yixuan was furious when he thought of this, pushed the girl away, jumped up, and kicked open the door of a private room on the second floor. I saw three scantily clad and good-looking women snuggled in the arms of an old man in ragged clothes, a bright shovel standing by the wall, and the ground was littered with the old man he had met in the afternoon.

Seeing this situation, Guo Yixuan scolded: "Old immortal thing, I gave you money to see that you are pitiful, you take my kindness out to drink flower wine, see that I don't kill you today!" At the same time as the screams of the girls sounded, a round table with wine and food flew towards Guo Yixuan, Guo Yixuan dodged sideways, but when he turned around again, he saw that the window was wide open, and the old man and the shovel were gone. Guo Yixuan hurriedly ran out of the window and looked around to find the direction in which the old man had escaped. I only heard a voice coming from afar: "Young man, you have good thoughts in your heart, but the edge is too strong." You and I are destined, the rivers and lakes will definitely see you again!" Guo Yixuan shouted: "Stinky old man, don't pretend to be a master, goodbye you I want your dog's life!"

Guo Yixuan angrily left the windowsill and walked out of the door, when two big men blocked his way. I saw that the arms of the two of them were faintly glowing with golden light, and it was obvious that the two of them were the creators of the world. "Stinky boy, you know what kind of place this is, dare to go wild here. Don't you want to live?" the two of them had frost on their faces, and their words were not good. "I don't care what place this is, do you know who I am, dare to talk to me like this, I think it's you who don't want to die!" Guo Yixuan also wanted to do it. But at this moment, four guards in suits jumped down from the roof of the building, protected Guo Yixuan's side, and respectfully shouted, "Little master, it's time to leave for the headquarters." The two big men were taken aback, thinking about the word headquarters, knowing that Granny Lotus had a seventieth birthday, and understood that this young man must have an extraordinary identity, and his tone immediately softened: "I don't know which son you are, you have just offended, please forgive me for being blind." The leading guard didn't say anything, took out 10,000 coin and still on the ground, set up Guo Yixuan and grabbed the door.

The two big men looked at each other, looked at each other and didn't know what to do, and suddenly a cold word came from their ears: "Let them go, it's just a lost dog." The two big men immediately gave a deep salute in the air, "Obey!"

Back on the train, Guo Yixuan was still sullen, angry not because of the rudeness of the two big men, but because of the stinky and shameless shovel old man. The sinister words lingered in his ears, and he recalled what the ruffian said, it turned out that the most stupid person was himself. The Sky Train sped through the night sky, and his thoughts drifted away.
