Xiao Xiao opened his eyes and closed them again with the stimulation of the strong sunlight.

Everything seemed to be back to square one, only this time he was not lying in the ruined temple, but in the dilapidated thatched hut, on a bed covered with patches but warm and comfortable, which smelled of the sun.

Only this time he no longer has a healthy body, and he is no longer young and full of vitality and hope. He had nothing to rely on, relying on his sober mind and endless courage to fight for the strength of those who looked down on all beings and won the respect and awe of others. Now except for a sober mind, he has lost everything, his time, his health, and even the woman he loves.

The strong man has never lacked the courage to start over, which is why he was able to use his hard-won skills without hesitation to heal Duanmuyu's injuries and save his life. I once had a good time, but when I lost it, it was even more painful.

Xiao Xiao has experienced all kinds of hardships in the world and is well versed in the way of human warmth. So when Zhu Ting took her pulse, she left with a face full of disappointment and despair. When Ding Yi laughed and humiliated him vigorously, when everyone abandoned him like a shoe, and disdained him. He took it for granted.

Because everything was as he expected, he smiled with satisfaction.

He can still laugh?! Everyone thought he was crazy. That's right, just from the proud son of heaven with a strange treasure, he has fallen into a waste with nothing, and no one thinks that he can bear it. What's more, the higher you climb, the more you fall, you have seen the scenery on the top of the mountain, how can you bear to wander only in the valley for a long time to come?

When everyone left him, Xiao Xiao felt that he had regained a little strength. His hands and feet were broken, and he couldn't use his hands and feet at all, and he couldn't even stand on ordinary people. The dantian in his body was shattered, and he couldn't sense a trace of true qi in his body. He could only crawl on the ground with difficulty, embarrassed like a maggot with a severed body, desperately squirming for survival, but could not find where the life was.

The sun sets and the moon rises, Xiao Xiao doesn't know how long he has climbed and how far he has climbed. His mouth was dry, his stomach was hungry, and he was dizzy from exhaustion. He didn't stop, he just crawled aimlessly. He knew that if he slackened down a little, he would no longer have the courage and strength to move forward.

When he struggled desperately for a long time, and could not move an inch, he saw a pair of dirty bare feet. He raised his head with the last bit of strength, and saw Wu Aniuti leading a grass carp, looking at him suspiciously. In his eyes, Xiao Xiao saw purity, worry, concern, and jealousy.

Wu Aniu is really a good person, although he can't even afford shoes.

He was barefoot and carried Xiao Xiao, who was covered in blood, back home. also vacated his room for Xiao Xiao to live in, and slept in the kitchen by himself.

They are a family of three and three broken grass houses. One is Wu Aniu, one is an old mother and sister Wu Xiaomei, and one is a cramped and dark kitchen. Wu Aniu originally planned to find a way to repair a house in the near future, her sister has grown up, she can't always be crowded with her old mother, and the girl's family must also have her own hearts and little secrets.

Wu Aniu is Wu Xiaomei's biological brother, but the old mother is not the biological mother of the Wu family brothers and sisters. The widowed old woman, who lived a difficult and hungry life, resolutely brought home her brother and sister who were about to die of hunger that she picked up on the road. She possessed all the qualities of the women of her age, ignorant and pure, but also forbearant and tenacious, and they were accustomed to living on their father, husband, and son. When life had nothing to rely on, she didn't let her family of three starve to death in the end, and the hardships and hardships during the period could not be explained in a word.

Now that the old woman is old, Wu Aniu has grown up and shouldered the responsibility of supporting the family. They have no land, so Wu Aniu can only fish for a living and support his family. He also had to go through all kinds of exploitation by the government and the oppression and restraint of the Caoyun gang on the river, so he couldn't even buy shoes.

But just like his old mother back then, he picked up Xiao Xiao home on the way.

A family of three eats from the sky, and often has a hungry meal. But Xiao Xiao drank fatty fish soup on the first day.

Xiao Xiao lay down for three days, and Wu Xiaomei took care of the front and back of the house for three days. Xiao Xiao's high fever did not go away, so she wiped Xiao Xiao's forehead and back with alcohol over and over again. When it was hot, someone opened the window to breathe; When she was thirsty, she brought cool water from the well. No one asked Wu Xiaomei to do this, Wu Aniu didn't, he thought that men and women should not kiss, and girls should not be too close to strange boys. If it weren't for Wu Aniu to be busy with life, he would rather take care of Xiao Xiao instead of Wu Xiaomei, who was originally the person he picked up, and he thought he had this obligation.

Wu Xiaomei likes to sit in the corner of the door in her spare time, tilting her head to secretly look at Xiao Xiao in a coma. This young man is really good-looking, he has never seen a bald man so handsome, his facial features are so delicate and handsome, and his body curves are so perfect, I believe that any woman will be fascinated by him when she sees it.

Wu Xiaomei was fascinated by his deep eyes like a starry sky, and she vaguely saw that there was an amazing light hidden in these beautiful eyes. She couldn't imagine how he could still be full of hope for the future, and still smile shy and apologetic when he was so badly injured, or even reduced to a cripple.

On the seventh day, the wound began to scab over. Xiao Xiao tried to feel the power of his siblings, but he was very depressed. Not to mention walking on the ground, now he even needs amazing perseverance to pick up the bowl for eating, and he is still trembling and unable to hold it at any time.

Wu Xiaomei only feeds him, she likes to feed him, even if he never says thank you, and he never expresses his heart for himself.

At the age of ninety-seven, Xiao Xiao could barely walk on the ground. He held the crutches made for him by Wu Aniu in his armpits, balanced his legs, and moved forward with difficulty.

It is really a good pair of crutches, strong, lightweight, and comfortable, and any person with a disability would envy anyone who has such a pair of crutches. Xiao Xiao thought in his heart, moved to the eaves, and began to weave bamboo baskets with bamboo strips. He didn't have a pair of flexible hands, but his mouth and wrists were quite flexible, and the bamboo strips actually began to fly, slowly turning into delicate and tight bamboo baskets.

Wu Xiaomei began to tilt her head to look at him again, and she was fascinated. What a man of great talent and incredible perseverance. At first, when Wu Aniu heard that he offered to weave bamboo baskets and sell them to subsidize his family, he strongly refused. He thinks he can feed a family of four, sleep for an hour less, and don't go to the shade under the shady tree when he fishes.

Wu Aniu is full of worries, he believes that every man has to shoulder the burden of life, even if the person is crippled, he must respect the other person's choice.

Wu Xiaomei was even more distressed, because she took good care of Xiao Xiao and found that the corners of his mouth, tongue, and wrists were cut and bruised, and sometimes he was so painful that he couldn't speak or swallow food. But he never frowned, and even smiled slightly, smiling lightly.

The autumn moon and spring breeze are idle.

Two years is not a long time, and the ordinary years have no waves, which is the greatest honor of ordinary people.

Xiao Xiao is certainly not an ordinary person.

He should be the overlord of the storm, which person's success will be easy, without experiencing all kinds of hardships and setbacks, even if you steal a high position, you will fall down because of vanity.

Erudite and ambitious, this is the truth.

The rivers and lakes have long forgotten him, and he has become an abandoned son who no one cares about, this is Xiao Xiao's luck. With two years of time and two years of struggling to survive, he evoked a trace of connection with the remaining true qi in his body.

On a night when everything was silent and everyone was asleep. Xiao Xiao sat up quietly.

The inside of his house was like daylight, and his whole body was covered in white qi. True Qi runs through the limbs and dantian, slowly reshaping the flesh and blood and the sea of qi.

After breaking and then standing, Zhuge Hongyi's century-old skills can blind the heavens and isolate birth, old age, sickness and death, is it an ordinary thing. Xiao Xiao finally completed communication and compromise with the true qi in his body day after day, and was reborn through the cocoon.

There are not so many adventures and the guidance and assistance of the predecessors, everything has to be insisted on with hard sweat and endless perseverance, this is Xiao Xiao's road to the strong.

I don't know how many cold and hot summers.

Winter goes to spring, and poplar flowers fall all over the river.

A family of four in a dilapidated thatched hut has become an inseparable family.

When Wu Xiaomei entered Xiao Xiao's room with white porridge and pickles, the sunlight was shining through the broken window, stabbing her smart eyes. When she opened her eyes away from the sunlight and found the figure standing straight in the light, Cherry couldn't help but open her mouth, and tears of excitement suddenly wet her innocent and immature cheeks.

That figure stood up to the sky, he should have been a man standing up to the sky, but he humbly crawled on the ground and struggled for so many years.

Although he is unyielding and self-reliant. But over the years, I have endured the contemptuous eyes of many people, and faced with how many people have ruthlessly pointed fingers. Those strange eyes were full of ridicule, spittle, and even horror, and they didn't even want to breathe the same air as him, and when they saw him, they covered their noses and stayed away, as if he would bring bad luck and germs to people.

It is rumored in the village that Wu Aniu picked up a disabled husband for his sister, who is good-looking, but he can't stand up, and he doesn't know if he can use it. The people at the head of the village and the end of the village even joked to Wu Aniu, when will you pick up a disabled daughter-in-law for yourself?

Wu Aniu's fists were clenched, and his green tendons were exposed. But he just walked away in a muffled voice, he didn't have the courage to fight with people, after all, if he injured someone or was injured, he had to spend two taels of silver to buy medicine, and he had no money.

"Your injuries are healed?!" Wu Xiaomei grabbed Xiao Xiao's hand and shook it in surprise, she was so excited and grabbed so hard.

Xiao Xiao looked at her with a smile and said, "Thank you for your careful care, I have recovered." ”

After so many years, Xiao Xiao said thank you for the first time, and Wu Xiaomei felt a little awkward in her heart.

"I don't say thank you for my kindness, so I haven't said it all these years." Xiao Xiao seemed to see through the girl's mind and explained, "But I suddenly figured it out, if I don't say it, how can you feel it." Life is short, and I don't want to have any more regrets. ”

"If you don't say it, people will know it." Wu Xiaomei said coquettishly.

"You are my family, and now that I am healed, I will naturally be a thousand times better for you." Xiao Xiao in turn held the girl's hand and smiled.

The girl's face suddenly flushed, and she hung her head shyly, her heart beating like a deer. He actually grabbed his hand, his hand was so warm and full of strength, what did he mean by that?
