Chapter 5: Liu Mang
In the early morning, a soft glimmer of light envelops the earth, everything revives, and sometimes the rooster crows, and the foraging birds have come out to feed, calling joyfully.
A small teahouse in a small town in Xiguo has long been open for business.
Although the small teahouse is small, the business is really good, and there are many people coming and going, so it is very early that the old man Wang and the small group are busy in the morning.
"Girl, go and rinse this teapot. ”
"Okay, grandpa. Tuanzi was still wearing her yellow cloth shirt, and her two big black circles were as black as a panda, which was quite joyful.
Because last night, I was frightened by Meng Ran, and I didn't sleep well all night, tossing and turning on her small bed.
However, it is commendable that he still diligently helped his grandfather run the teahouse in the morning.
Old man Wang, who is over seventy years old, is leaning forward, his hair is as white as snow, which is completely different from Meng Ran's, his white hair is dead, and Meng Ran's white hair is cold.
As he got older, his legs and feet became unstable, and he had difficulty moving, and he would beat his rickety old waist every once in a while.
He runs his small teahouse diligently every day, although it is not enough to make a lot of money, but it is enough to support his grandparents.
"Grandpa, grandpa, this table is still a dumpling to wipe it, this kind of thing is still for me, you can rest for a while!" Xiao Tuanzi had just finished washing the teapot, and saw that grandpa was bending over hard, wiping the table with a rag, so he hurried over and grabbed the rag, and told grandpa to rest for a while and do it himself.
"Mm-hmm, the girl has grown up. Grandpa gently stroked the head of the dumpling and nodded kindly.
"Really sensible......" Meng Ran saw this scene and was moved by the filial piety of the little group.
Last night, after his grandson left, Meng Ran began to refine the cold ice again, and he practiced all night without stopping, and it was only now that he stopped.
Although it is said that cultivators do not need to sleep, and cultivation is equivalent to resting, but Meng Ran's cultivation is torturous, and the uninterrupted cold air enters the body all night, and whoever tries it is a million unwilling.
Because the thousand-year-old Xuan Ice had refined so many wisps of cold qi, the benefits to him became less and less effective with the number of refining, so he stopped refining and began to observe the surroundings with his spiritual sense.
After a night of refining, his cultivation had reached the sixfold peak from the sixth level of the condensation vein very smoothly, and he stopped to consolidate his cultivation to pave the way for breaking through the sevenfold one.
If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and he still understands this truth.
The young Xuanbing had been refined by him for more than half of it, and he planned to break through the ice after breaking into the sevenfold, because when he broke the sevenfold, the remaining Xuanbing was useless.
"Grandpa, I'll help you ......" In the small teahouse, the voice of Xiao Tuanzi helping can often be heard, and the two figures are busy in the teahouse.
After Meng Ran consolidated his sixfold peak realm, he began to refine the Xuan Ice again, heading towards the seventh level.
One, two, three...... , Meng Ran refined the cold qi smoothly and integrated it into his body.
No longer like before, shivering every wisp of refining, shivering every wisp of refining, after many times of back and forth, his body's ability to resist cold can be regarded as a huge change, and he will no longer be so afraid of cold, forming a certain degree of antibody.
Until noon, the grandfather and grandson stopped their work and began to prepare lunch, and every time the meal arrived, they would stop on time to cook and eat, and live a regular and fulfilling life every day.
At lunchtime, no one would come for tea, so he naturally closed the door and closed the business.
Finding a bright tea table, Grandpa brought out hot side dishes from the kitchen.
Xiao Tuanzi sat on the high bench, beating two chopsticks, looking at the food on the table, saliva was about to flow to the table, so he showed a very satisfied smile.
"Grandpa, you said that the eldest brother will starve to death if he stays in the ice cube every day!" Xiao Tuanzi looked at the grandfather who was holding the side dishes and asked jokingly.
"Children, what nonsense, how can they say bad things like this. Grandpa hurriedly told Xiao Tuanzi to stop, and carefully observed the surroundings, for fear that Xiao Tuanzi's words would be heard by Meng Ran, and it would not be difficult.
In the end, I was relieved to see that there was no one around.
But in fact, Meng Ran heard all of this and saw it in his eyes, but Meng Ran was not angry, but couldn't help but smile.
Seeing the grandfather and grandson living such an ordinary and indisputable life, Meng Ran was still somewhat resistant, the children who used to come out of a big family, who were not clothed to reach out for food to open their mouths, how could they be so full and happy like this.
"What kind of scenery would it be if Yue'er and I lived like this. Meng Ran began to immerse himself in his fantasy world.
Men and women weave, children and grandchildren are everywhere, life is worry-free, so unhappy.
There are no grievances and grievances in the world, no intrigue on the way to cultivation, and no ......
No matter how much he said, it was useless, Meng Ran would still insist on continuing to embark on the path of cultivation, because he still had a lot of things to figure out, and there were still many things waiting to be done by himself, and this kind of life was not suitable for him.
So he began to bury his head in cultivation again, and the sixfold spiritual power climbed to the peak of Zhi, and he was only a little short of breaking through the sevenfold.
At the teahouse, the grandfather and grandson happily enjoyed an ordinary and delicious lunch.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the locked door was broken by someone with a strong kick, and three big men walked in from outside the door.
The leader is a scarred face, holding a mace, wearing an animal skin coat, with a hideous complexion, giving people the feeling at first glance, revealing a deep ruffian.
The two people who followed behind him, holding two large knives, looked hideous, as if someone owed him millions.
It seems that the comer is not good.
"These guest officers, the shop has closed for business, dare to ask what you are doing!" The old man who was eating was startled, and when he saw the three people who broke into the door, he hurriedly greeted him, lowered his head, and said in a low voice
Xiao Tuanzi sat on the side, looking at everything in front of him, not daring to make a sound.
As soon as he heard the old man's words, the leading scar man picked up his mace and smashed it on the table next to him.
With a "pop", the table split like foam board and fell to the ground, kicking up a cloud ......of dust.
The old man wanted to reach out to stop him, but he endured it, feeling a little sorry for the table.
"Guest, who are you?" the old man asked in a low voice, a little puzzled.
"Guest officer, do you call me guest officer?" Scar grabbed the old man's collar angrily and lifted him up, the man's strength was huge, and the weak old man was lifted up by him very easily, and his legs were volleyed.
"Grandpa......" Xiao Tuanzi saw his grandfather being bullied by others on the side, and wanted to rush up to save his grandfather.
"Girl, don't come here, grandpa is fine. The old man shouted anxiously.
"But......" Xiao Tuanzi heard her grandfather's words and stopped obediently, because she herself was afraid of these people.
"It's ridiculous that you take a closer look at who I am and call me a guest officer. The scar boy looked at the old man angrily.
"Are you...... Are you Liu Mang?" the old man took a closer look and remembered that the man in front of him was the thief Liu Mang, who had come to the small teahouse to rob the silver taels, and it happened that his grandson Wang Chao went home to visit relatives, and after being taught a hard lesson, he left angrily.
Thinking that he was the same Liu Mang, the old man trembled violently, his face was ugly, and he was very afraid of the man in front of him.
"Boom!"
Liu Mang fiercely pressed his leg into the old man's abdomen, where could the old man withstand the attack of the prime of life, at that time, he vomited blood in his mouth, blood flowed out of his mouth, dripping on Liu Mang's body, blood red.
"Look at this scar, this is your good grandson's doing, if I hadn't escaped smartly, I guess you wouldn't have seen me today. Liu Mang pointed to the deep scar on his face and said viciously.
"Grandpa...... Bastard, you quickly let Grandpa go. Xiao Tuanzi saw that his grandfather was beaten and vomited blood, and he couldn't help but rush up anymore.
"Adults do things, children die. Before Xiao Tuanzi ran over, he was kicked by Liu Mang and hit the wall on the side, which was very cruel.
Xiao Tuanzi lay on the ground, bright red blood flowing down her ponytailed hair, crying loudly, pitiful.
"Woo woo woo ......"
No matter how hard Xiao Tuanzi tried, he couldn't get up from the ground, and his head was hit hard, making Xiao Tuanzi unable to raise his head like a mountain.
"Bastard, you have the ability, come to the old man, what kind of ability is it to bully a child. Seeing this, the old man was furious, he had forgotten his fear, and scolded at the old man, and his saliva merged with blood spurted out with the old man's voice, and it was on Liu Mang's face.
"Don't worry, it'll be you soon. Liu Mang shook his hand to wipe the saliva and blood on his face, put it on his nose and kissed it, "Hey......" disgusting.
"Go, find out all the silver taels and the valuable things here. Liu Mang commanded.
"Yes, big brother!" the two younger brothers obediently searched on both sides, one towards the counter and the other towards their room.
"If I'm here, you ruffians will all die......," the old man scolded, struggling to scold.
"You are still thinking about Wang Chao, I have already inquired about him and he hasn't come back for a long time, eighty percent of him is dead, hahaha......" Liu Mang said. Let out a hair-raising laugh.
"Big brother, this poor ghost doesn't have any silver, only these broken copper. The little brother who overturned the counter said.
"Cut, mildew, what a bad old man, dead poor ghost, he shouldn't live in this world. As the words fell, he picked up his mace and prepared to end the old man's life.
The old man closed his eyes, and this time it was estimated that he would not escape.
"Ah...... Hell!" the little brother who was searching the room let out a scream.
"Boom!" There was a loud bang, and the door in front of him was directly broken, and the ice flew out of the room, fell to the ground, split apart, and rolled to the ground.
A piece of ice rolled down to Liu Mang's feet, and Liu Mang's face suddenly turned ugly, because there was a human head in the ice under his feet, and the human head's eyes were about to pop out, and his mouth was wide open, and he died.
"Ah, third brother......" Liu Mang reacted, and it was the third brother who had just gone in who died tragically, shouting.
"This ...... Isn't it. The old man's eyes lit up and he remembered something.
"Big brother, it must be big brother, big brother came to save us......" Xiao Tuanzi was pleasantly surprised.
