(2 volumes) No Regrets in This Life Chapter 2 Yangxin Town
"The little guy's life is hard enough!"
"Freshly cooked ginger soup, drink more while it's hot to get rid of the cold."
Looking at the loose clothes on his body, the men on the side unloaded the goods and were feeding a few mules and horses.
Immediately understood, Bu You hurriedly got up and saluted the middle-aged man who was a little blessed in front of him.
"I don't know what to call it?"
"Just call me Uncle Nine!"
"Thank you Uncle Nine for helping the kid, the kid will remember it in the future!"
"It's just that we met on the way, and it would be the same if we were someone else."
Uncle Nine handed over a large bowl of hot ginger soup, and then asked, "At the foot of the mountain when I came, there was a long-bearded old man who had passed away for many days. ”
"Uncle Nine! The old man is wearing a gray robe?"
"Exactly, the deceased old man is your family?"
Uncle Jiu's eyes showed sympathy.
"The kid has been living on the streets since he was a child, and he was adopted and taken care of by the old man!"
"Now that he has caused trouble and died, the kid is ashamed, and he still doesn't know the name of his hometown."
"Uncle Nine, where is the old man now? He couldn't let the beast damage his old man's body. ”
"Little one, do you have a name?"
"Just call me Bu You."
"Hmm!"
"My buddy and I have already buried the old man at the foot of the mountain."
"Today's plan, you are alone at a young age."
"If you don't have a place to go, the Jishitang Pharmacy in the town is recruiting apprentices."
"If you want, Uncle Nine will go and say hello to the shopkeeper."
"Then thank you, Uncle Nine!"
It turned out that Uncle Nine was a merchant in several nearby towns, pouring some mountain goods and medicinal materials. Then sell some daily things to the mountain people along the way.
The next day, before dawn, Bu You came to the mound where the old man was buried.
He saluted the money paper and incense candles that Uncle Nine had begged for, and kowtowed three times to the mound.
However, the old man only taught the introductory method of practicing qi, and Bu You had already attained perfection, but there was no follow-up exercise.
Ay! In any case, the old man adopted himself to pass on the exercises.
If there is a chance in the future, he will definitely come back to settle the old man's grievances.
The small figure did not look back, and walked straight to the ninth uncle who was waiting in the distance.
The trail was rugged and difficult to navigate, with stops and stops along the way, but thankfully the mules adapted to the trail.
Before I knew it, three days had passed, and I finally came to the official road.
Looking at the sky sun, Uncle Nine breathed a sigh of relief.
"Before I went to the official road, I was most afraid of running into that mountain bandit, and I could earn it back if I robbed my property, so I was afraid of losing my life!"
"Mountain bandits are so rampant, doesn't the government care?"
"Hey! Even if the government wants to manage it, it has the heart but no spare strength! ”
"The Commander's Mansion of Yangxin Town in front of you is only a few dozen soldiers, so it's good to be able to hold the surroundings of Yangxin Town!"
When the sun was setting in the west, a small town came into view.
The walls that surround the town are more than a foot high, and the walls are uneven, revealing the age.
There are three vigorous and powerful big characters on the head of the city, fortunately, Bu You can recognize it, Yangxin Town.
The little beggar's family should have been good when he was young, and his family invited a teacher for a few years.
After chatting with Uncle Nine on the road, I learned that most of the ordinary people here can't afford to hire a gentleman, and most of them are illiterate.
Even Uncle Nine was an apprentice when he was young, so he learned the method of arithmetic and knew some commonly used words.
There is a market outside the city, which is a place where the town ruler trades for the convenience of the nearby mountain people and merchants.
When Uncle Nine finished handling the goods transported, he handed over a few copper plates and entered Yangxin Town.
Along the avenue, soon came to the front of the pharmacy.
The plaque on the gatehouse, the three characters "Jishitang" are written.
followed Uncle Nine into the lobby of the pharmacy, and came a gray-robed young man of twenty-five or six.
"Lao Jiu, you have earned a lot of money this time, right?"
Uncle Nine hurriedly smiled and pointed at Bu You,
"The shopkeeper Wang laughed, the hard-earned money I earned was still in the eyes of the shopkeeper Wang."
"This is my distant nephew, just going to the shopkeeper to fill the gap."
The king's shopkeeper looked at Bu You,
"How old are you?"
"Eleven."
Shopkeeper Wang pursed his lips, frowned and said, "Older, if you are seven or eight years old, it will be just right, and the age of elementary school is fast." ”
"It's better to be a little bigger! Clever and sensible. My nephew can still read. ”
Uncle Nine took the words and took out a red fox fur from the small package he carried with him.
The shopkeeper Wang took it and looked up and down a few times,
"Hmmm! Yes, Firefox's fur. ”
Finally nodded: "Then let's go and take you to meet the owner." ”
Uncle Nine was about to thank him, but was stopped by the shopkeeper Wang.
"Make it clear in advance, whether you can enter the eyes of the owner, it depends on this kid's ability."
"Of course, there should be no problem with the king's shopkeeper agreeing."
Bu You had to respond with a smile: "Whether it is successful or not, without the king's shopkeeper to see him, the kid doesn't even have this opportunity!" ”
"Hmm!"
"The little guy is clever, and his mouth is quite well-behaved, not bad!"
"Come with me!"
Coming to Uncle Jiu, Bu You bowed deeply.
"Thank you for taking care of me recently, and I have worked hard to arrange a way out for the kid, and the kid will remember Uncle Jiu's kindness."
"Huh!"
"If you can't stay, look for me at the market outside the city."
"Got it!"
"Go with the king's shopkeeper."
Say goodbye to Uncle Nine and follow the shopkeeper Wang to the outside of the city.
"Do you have a name?"
The king's shopkeeper walked ahead and asked,
"Boy Buyou."
"This time, Jishitang accepts apprentices, as long as your kid is clever enough and will succeed in learning in the future, he will be a respected pharmacist."
"Isn't this all an opportunity given by your king's shopkeeper?"
"If the kid can learn in the future, he will definitely thank the shopkeeper."
"Haha!"
"If I were so well-behaved at your age, I wouldn't have been running around now."
"The owner is buying medicinal herbs outside the city, you and I will go quickly, it's not early."
The two had just left the gates of the city.
"Close the gates!"
There was a loud roar from the town,
"Hugh is going to let the thief go!"
The leader of the guards inside the city gate changed color when he heard the sound,
"Hurry ~ Hurry ~~! and lower the gates. ”
Several of the guards hurriedly pulled out the wooden latches, turned the winch chains, and lowered the city gates.
The king's shopkeeper beside him was full of horror,
"Run!"
He pulled past Bu You and ran towards the crowded market in the distance.
Bu You was pulled and turned around as he ran, looking at the city gate.
In less than a moment, several big men, led by the man with the nine-ring knife in the middle, rushed to the city tower.
The nine-ring knife of the leader fell, and a city guard didn't have time to react, so he was killed on the spot.
After a few rushes and killings, the city gate was only lowered more than halfway, and the city guards guarding the gate fell to the ground and were seriously injured if they did not die.
It can be seen that the ferocity of those bandits, as long as they block the road, both the guards and the ordinary people are swords.
After a few breaths, the ground at the gate of the city was full of wailing, and more than a dozen people had died.
A dozen guards on the city wall turned around with strong bows in their hands.
A burst of fire was fired at a few bandits who rushed out of the city.
A few ordinary people who didn't have time to dodge were also shot, and the city guards couldn't care much about it in the panic.
The group of bandits who rushed out of the city gate actually pulled up the corpses on the ground to block the arrows fired by the city guards.
In the distance, the dust was flying, and a dozen fast horses approached in a moment.
"Whew!"
"Three masters! Fourth, get on the horse. ”
A few horses were led by the two men, and several bandits who rushed out of the city gate turned over their horses and were about to leave.
A figure flew down from the castle tower, and several ups and downs came to the group of bandits.
The man with the nine-ring knife in his hand sat on his horse and shouted,
"Commander Liu! Don't get an inch. Otherwise, Hugh blames me for slaughtering the old three-handed black. ”
"Dare to rob the Dharma field from me, I have to leave you Tu Laosan for me today."
Before the words fell, Commander Liu's arms competed, and his body shook and pounced on Tu Laosan with a move of 'Five Tigers Broken Backs'.
"Humph!"
That Tu Laosan had a battle with Commander Liu before, and he didn't directly collide.
Hang the nine-ring knife on the horse, step on the stirrup, turn over in mid-air, and land on the ground with a chain under your feet.
Staggered Commander Liu's fist, a pair of eagle claws flew up and down, extremely agile.
The thirteen styles of the Aquila that are good at dancing are not falling.
I saw that the figure was staggered, and the clothes were opened, and the claws were separated from the bones, and the danger was incurred.
The opponent Liu was in charge, but his feet were as stable as a mountain, and the five tiger fists opened and closed, but he vaguely suppressed Tu Laosan.
"Hey!"
Tu Lao Sanyi pointed at his own Tuanchi acupoint, stimulating the potential in his body, and wanted to end the battle in this tea kung fu.
"Huh! That's what it looks like! ”
Commander Liu stomped his right foot, the ground shook a little, and his fists were staggered.
"Hey!"
"Bang!" With a bang,
Look at the third Tu again, the whole person flew out of the zhang, fell to the ground and rolled up a large amount of dust.
"Three masters!"
The young man who had brought someone to answer him urged him to step forward.
"Soul chaser gun Xu Shu, come to get the lesson."
With a flick of the silver spear with his backhand, he borrowed a few silver-white spear flowers from the horse, and faced Commander Liu with a hood.
