Chapter 1 Chorus
In the 34th year of the Terran Era, six years have passed since that snowy winter, and six years have passed, and the vision in the sky has long been forgotten.
It's summer, and the hot sun is shining on the earth.
Outside a high blue wall in Qingniu Township at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, a boy wearing a sewing and mending coarse cloth easily climbed the big tree attached to the high wall.
The boy's name is Qi Ming, just over six years old, born with a handsome appearance, fair skin, clear eyes like the sea of stars, and a kind of indescribable nobility in his bones, the old clothes on his body can hardly hide his handsome and noble, deeply pleasing the people of Qingniu Village, and often attract little girls from Qingniu Township to come and play.
"Hah!"
At this moment, a childish but sonorous humming sound came from within the high wall, and Qi Ming looked at it with a smile on his face, it was Teacher Shen who was taking a group of children of the same age as him to boxing in the courtyard for morning exercises.
Looking at the morning exercise within the high wall, Qi Ming rolled up his sleeves to reveal his two white and tender little arms, and his little hands clenched into fists and waved them in a similar way, so that when he rose, he also made two "ha, ha," sounds.
This is the voice that he thinks is very hard and exclusive to martial arts practitioners, but his voice is very small and subtle, and it is estimated that only he can hear it.
Qi Ming didn't dare to let out their voices loudly like them inside the high wall, he felt that it would be embarrassing to come here to peek, and it would be even more embarrassing to make another sound to attract their attention.
Looking at everything inside the high wall, Qi Ming's eyes showed a kind of longing, the high wall was a place beyond his reach, six years old, no matter whether the children of the ten miles and eight villages in Qingniu Township were poor or superior, they would be sent by their parents to this only school in Qingniu Township to cultivate and study, but his grandfather never agreed to let him come here.
Every time he thought of this, Qi Ming's little face appeared with a faint sadness, he had no parents, he was picked up by two grandfathers into the mountain, and the two grandfathers loved him very much, but he just couldn't figure out why his grandfather didn't send him here, and he was already sensitive and it was easier for him to think more.
"Hah!"
The sound of martial arts practice in the courtyard gradually disappeared, and Qi Ming saw that the students were all standing neatly, and Teacher Shen stood in front of them and motioned for them to sit down.
It seems that the morning exercise is over, and Teacher Shen is going to teach them something new. Qi Ming thought like this, so he was busy sitting down and pricking up his ears to listen.
Before Teacher Shen could start speaking, Qi Ming saw that among the students who had just sat cross-legged on the ground, a dark-skinned boy with a fairly burly body raised his hand and stood up.
"Teacher Shen, let's go to the school, how good it is to sit on the stool on the ground. ”
Hearing this, Qi Ming's heart tightened, his little hand clasped his fingers restlessly, and he lowered his head slightly and looked at Teacher Shen worriedly.
"It's good to be here, you sit down and we'll go back to class. ”
Shen Qianhua noticed the gaze of the boy on the branch outside the high wall, he didn't look at it and naturally refused, and then began to talk about the things in class.
The swarthy boy was rejected with a look of resentment, and as he sat down, he turned his head to look at Qi Ming on the tree branch.
Qi Ming was just overjoyed, sensing the boy's unkind gaze, and he didn't dare to look at it directly.
Qi Ming knew that they were sitting here in class because of him.
Children of other ages all go to the school after morning exercises, but only the students led by Mr. Shen take classes here, the purpose is to let him, an outsider, hear.
Qi Ming looked at the tall and thin teacher Shen in front of the students, who was dressed in a clean and beautiful white dress with bamboo leaves, and was very grateful and liked it.
When he was young, he knew Mr. Shen's kindness, and often when he followed Jingdaochuan to the mountains to pick herbs, he would specially pick some camellia and bring it back to Mr. Shen to express his gratitude to Mr. Shen.
This is what Jing Daochuan taught him, to be a man, to be grateful and repay.
Qi Ming on the branches in the classroom listened very seriously, and he cherished the opportunity given by Teacher Shen, although he was coldly regarded by many students, although he was sitting outside the high wall, he was the most serious one.
Soon, the sun passed over the treetops, and the middle hung in the air blinding and scorching.
Qi Ming raised his small arm and covered his eyes with his little hands, looked at the sun above his head through his fingers, and his little stomach was already growling, knowing that it was time to leave school at noon.
Turning his head to look inside the high wall, Teacher Shen had already made them all stand up at this moment, and then announced the end of school after some advice.
They are still young, and they only need to go home from school in the morning, as long as they catch up with the morning exercise the next day.
"Qi Ming~"
As soon as school ended, Qi Ming, who was still preparing on the branches, saw a simple boy waving his hand to call him.
It was Yu Qi, who was from the same village as him, and the two of them played together until they grew up to be his best friend and only friend.
"Yu Qi"
Qi Ming smiled and waved his hand in response, and then hurriedly came down from the tree.
He still carried the camellia he had in a small jar last night in his pocket, thinking that he would hand it over to Teacher Shen after today's class.
As soon as the tree rang out, he ran to the door of Xuewutang, for fear that Teacher Shen would go back to his residence first and then be disturbed.
Fortunately, it caught up, and Qi Ming, who had just arrived at the door, saw that Teacher Shen was still in that open space.
Panting for breath, he didn't bother to say hello to Yu Qi who came out, and Qi Ming hurriedly walked towards the Xuewu Hall.
"Bang!"
As soon as he was about to enter, seven or eight boys suddenly appeared and blocked the entrance of Xuewutang, and Qi Ming bumped into one of the boys without stopping.
Staggering back, Qi Ming hurriedly protected the small jar in his pocket.
"Whew~"
After taking four or five steps back to stabilize his figure, Qi Ming breathed a long sigh of relief, and sighed that it was fortunate that he didn't use to run just now.
"Are you blind?
A sharp scolding came from the sigh, and Qi Ming saw that it was the dark-skinned boy before, Wang Shuo.
It has been more than two months since the school opened in Xuewutang, although Teacher Shen has already accepted Qi Ming, a boy who steals school, but for Qi Ming's unique existence, many students in Xuewutang do not accept it, perhaps because of Teacher Shen's jealousy of Qi Ming's liking, or Qi Ming's maverick and eye-catching behavior is a sharp in their eyes.
Among these students, Wang Shuo's performance was the most prominent, because Wang Shuo's frequent sneering and taunting Qi Ming had a fight with him when he first came.
Although Qi Ming is thin and his figure is not as strong as Wang Shuo, he can come out of the medicine jar, and he has a power that is different from ordinary people, and he won that fight.
However, Qi Ming always felt that he was interfering with their studies, and he didn't do anything to Wang Shuo, but just pressed him under his body and warned him.
"I'm sorry, but you get out of the way of me. ”
Qi Ming looked at Wang Shuo, who blocked the way and scolded, he didn't have the time to entangle with him, and at the same time, he felt that he was not paying attention, and said apologetically.
Saying that, through the gap between several people, Qi Ming saw that Teacher Shen in the courtyard was about to leave.
Seeing this, Qi Ming was anxious and didn't say much to them, and when he walked up, he was ready to pull them apart and force them in.
"Get out of here! this is a martial arts hall, not something you can enter casually as an outsider!"
As soon as Qi Ming went up and didn't make a move, Wang Shuo pushed him with a palm, and at the same time scolded him.
Wang Shuo's strength was very great, and Qi Ming, who was caught off guard, was pushed back again and again, and his body was unstable and fell to the ground.
"Smack~"
Immediately after a crisp sound, the small crockpot that Qi Ming had been protecting in his pocket all morning hit the ground and shattered.
"Wang Shuo, what are you doing. ”
Yu Qi, who was outside the door, saw that Qi Ming was pushed down by Wang Shuo, and was busy helping Qi Ming, and at the same time shouted at Wang Shuo angrily.
Helped up by Yu Qi, Qi Ming hurriedly put his hand into his pocket with a hint of panic, and after being stabbed a few times by the sharp stabbing in his pocket, he took out a fragment of a broken crockpot, looking at the fragments of camellia that still carried a little bit of camellia, Qi Ming's heart pinched, this is the camellia he fried overnight.
A nameless fire came out of his stomach, and he looked directly at Wang Shuo with a look of resentment.
"Teacher Shen~"
"Teacher Shen~"
"What's wrong?"
At this time, with the respectful greetings of the students and a dull voice coming from inside the door, the two people competing against each other were busy reining in, and Wang Shuo and the others hurriedly moved out of the way.
Seeing Teacher Shen dressed in bamboo leaves and white coming out, Qi Ming hurriedly put the small fragment in his hand into his pocket and greeted him respectfully: "Teacher Shen." ”
"Qi Ming, what's going on in your pocket?"
Shen Qianhua came when he heard the movement at the gate, he noticed Qi Ming's movements just now, and at this moment, looking at Qi Ming's outer pocket, there were still many protruding edges and corners, and asked.
"It's nothing, it's just that the crockpot in my pocket is broken. ”
A smile appeared on Qi Ming's little face and said with a smile.
"I'll see. ”
Shen Qianhua likes Qi Ming very much, and is often pleased by the little guy's cleverness and sensibility, and is even more pleased by Qi Ming's seriousness.
At this moment, I heard that Qi Ming actually had a broken crockpot in his pocket, and he was worried about going over to visit.
When he reached into Qi Ming's pocket and took out some sharp fragments, Shen Qianhua accused with a displeased and worried face:
"What if you get hurt, really. ”
Saying that, Shen Qianhua took out all the fragments, and when he saw the fried camellia, Shen Qianhua understood something, and said with a smile after cleaning Qi Ming's pocket:
"Your thank you teacher understands, it's good to wrap it in paper in the future, you know?"
Shen Qianhua's smile under the sun seemed so warm in Qi Ming's opinion, nodded, and responded very obediently:
"Uh-huh. ”
"Alright, you'll all be hungry when the meal is ordered, so go back early. Shen Qianhua said as he looked at the group of students gathered at the door.
"Teacher Shen, let's go. ”
Although the camellia was not delivered to Mr. Shen intact, Qi Ming's heart was still very happy to be spoiled by Mr. Shen's worries.
The unpleasantness just now disappeared suddenly, and after happily greeting Teacher Shen, Wang Shuo glanced at him and rushed home with Yu Qi.
"Boss, what should I do, do you still beat him?"
"Why don't you go back, I'm hungry. ”
"Mmmm, my mom must have cooked the meal after ordering this. ”
When the students left, seven or eight little boys outside the Xuewu Hall muttered, looked at Wang Shuo and waited for him to make a decision.
Wang Shuo had just formed the Yuan Core two days ago and reached the first level of the Tianyuan Realm, and this kind of strength was unique among his peers in Qingniu Township.
In addition, Wang Shuo is the background of the Wang family, the largest family in Qingniu Township, so he naturally became the child king of this group of children.
Wang Shuo looked at Qi Ming, who was gradually moving away, and clenched his fists fiercely:
"Fight! I must let him know how good I am today!"
After that, he led a few people to chase in the direction of Qi Ming.
