Chapter 398: Is the Heart Still There?

"Do you really have to go?"

The spring breeze gently brushed the girl's hair, and a long white dress floated up. The lips are red and the teeth are white, and there are two tears in the eyes. She clutched the corner of the boy's coat tightly.

"Well, Master said that I should go to the rivers and lakes......" The young man grasped the girl's hand with his generous hand, and his eyes were full of reluctance.

The girl rubbed the corners of her eyes and couldn't stop sobbing. She really didn't want to go as a teenager. The young man stretched out a hand, stroked her green silk, and said firmly: "When I break out of the world, I will let people carry eight sedan chairs to you, and let you marry me in style." ”

The girl burst into tears and laughed, but seeing the undoubtedness on the young man's face, she believed it, and took the sachet out of her skirt.

"Surely, remember me!"

The boy took it, put it in the lining, waved his hand, and left.

When he arrived in the city, the boy realized that he could not fit in with the crowd. It seems that the rivers and lakes are really difficult to break through. As the day was high, he took out a piece of steamed bread and devoured it with spittle.

A bearded man staggered over when he saw his appearance. When the young man saw that he looked like a sharp-eared monkey, he didn't want to deal with it, but the other party had already spoken.

"Yo, young man, is it your first time?"

The boy nodded, taking a step back, the meaning of estrangement exposed. The man smiled and didn't say much. Suddenly, he saw the sachet that the young man had inadvertently exposed when he raised his hand, and he reached out and snatched it with all his strength.

"What are you doing!"

The boy cried out, and the crowd glanced at them, and went about their business again. The boy reached out and tried to snatch it back, but the man relied on himself to be a few points taller than him, and deliberately raised the sachet so that he could not reach it.

"Give it back to me!"

The boy kept jumping, trying to grab the sachet with all his might. The man smiled maliciously, and suddenly noticed that the boy seemed to have martial arts, so he stopped teasing him.

The young man carefully retracted the sachet into the inner lining, and the man put his shoulder on his shoulder: "Eh, do you have a job for me here?" ”

The young man sneered and thought about leaving quickly, but who knew that the front foot was off the ground, and the back foot was grabbed by the man. I couldn't break free for a while, panicked, and screamed.

"You let go of me!"

The flow of the crowd suddenly stopped, and the noise faded away, and everyone stopped to stare at the boy and the man. The man smiled and pulled the boy to an inconspicuous corner, holding his shoulders in place with his arms. changed the look on his face that had just smiled and stared at the boy viciously.

"Are you going to do it?"

"I ......"

"If you don't do it, I'll send you to disappear!"

The man kept increasing the strength of his hands, as if he was about to crush the boy's bones. The young man was timid, and the strength of the person in front of him seemed to be on par with the master. The knees were even trembling under the man's tremendous pressure. He opened his parched mouth and asked cautiously.

"What is it?"

"Competition, get money if you win, wait for the next time you lose."

"But the master said that force is not used to fight......"

"What bullshit Master, come here, you don't have to use money if you want to live?"

"Yes, yes......"

The boy gave in, but what he was thinking about was how to use the money won from the competition to marry the girl, and how to improve his strength step by step to defeat the man.

The man stared at the young man's clear, determined eyes, knowing that he was only with him for a while. He lowered his hand and patted the boy on the shoulder.

"Let's go, it's getting late, I'll take you to eat something good."

The young man followed the man submissively, afraid that he would make a slight mistake, provoke the man, and put himself on the ground.

When I arrived at the restaurant, the vague smell of the world led the boy, and the aroma of food came from the next table. Three or five big men were shirtless, drinking bowl after bowl of wine, and the charming aroma of wine was so drunk that the young man's brain was in chaos.

The man had already ordered the food and drink, and after a while, a shopkeeper came up. As the boy munched on his meal, he thought to himself about the girl, and wanted to bring her to taste it too.

The man picked up a bowl of wine and handed it to the boy. The boy waved his hand repeatedly, knowing that he had never touched alcohol, and even in his small village, people only took a few sips of their home-brewed rice wine during the New Year's holidays, and no one had ever touched this kind of wine that made people drown in it.

The man raised his eyebrows, and it was really a child who was not deeply involved in the world. stared at the young man even more fiercely, forcing him to take the bowl of wine and watch it pour it down one by one.

After a while, the young man's face was unusually red, and he fell on the table with a "bang", drunk.

The man threw a few peanuts into his mouth, smacked and chewed, looking at the young man's silky hair, and his eyes didn't know whether it was the worldly qi or the rain and mist covering a layer of haze.

"Don't forget your original intention......"

Starting the next day, the boy officially entered the martial arts hall. Everyone is interested in him, after all, the martial arts hall has not had fresh blood for a long time. Many people who are not used to seeing it will steal the young man's sachet and deliberately hide it to see that he is in a hurry.

But soon, the boy grew up rapidly, and his strength increased rapidly, defeating those in the martial arts hall who liked his jokes. From then on, no one dared to tease him.

Later, the boy accidentally lost the sachet. He searched for several days, but when he could not find it, he gave up, because he thought that he was about to go back, and go back to marry a girl......

Later, the boy even defeated the man who pulled him into the martial arts hall in the ring, but was actually the bearded man who was actually the director of the martial arts hall. The man had lost badly, and when he was beaten down, his mouth was full of wounds, and his body was covered with countless bruises and scars.

He stared at the boy as he did at the beginning, but the difference was less angry and more gratified.

"Don't forget your original intention......"

The man closed his eyes and never got up. A generation of myths, over. The boy replaced the man and became the curator. When he wins, he celebrates with a few bowls of wine in the tavern. When he loses, he will also go to the tavern to drink a few bowls of wine to numb the pain.

After another few decades, the boy has also become an old man with cloudy eyes, and his physical strength is not as good as it was back then. He clearly knew that he could no longer defeat those newcomers who had just entered the martial arts gym, or rather, anyone.

He didn't fall into the ring like a bearded man, he chose an easy path, and in one day, he gathered everyone in the martial arts hall, Zen gave up the position of curator, and left with dignity.

He could only wear a tattered green shirt and wander the world.

One day, when he arrived at a village, everything was somewhat familiar in a trance, but he couldn't remember anything. Walking to the entrance of the village, all the memories came flooding out like a marquee.

The girl's smile made his head hurt clearly, and he stumbled to a house, begged for some food, and cheekily asked for some rice wine to put in the gourd, and then suddenly asked about the girl.

"Well, how is the girl from the weaving family in the east of the village doing now?"

The woman was stunned, as if she couldn't remember. The young man, who had become an old man in his twilight years, sighed, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Eh, but the girl surnamed Chen?"

The old man paused, the joy on his face overflowed, and the wrinkles on his face trembled.
