The boy, with a sweet, excited mood, fell asleep unconsciously. In the dream, no one pursued him, he seemed to float in a fragrant lotus bush, lingering among the beautiful and pure petals, admiring the purple veil that was just like the petals, dancing. And the ears echoed with a beautiful and familiar singing, how kind, how warm, a voice seemed to be dimly reading: "Mother's hand line, wanderer's shirt!" ”。

I don't know how long it took, the boy only felt a burst of light, he opened his eyes slightly, and saw Bai Zhengbo walking in with an oil lamp, and when he saw that he was awake, he asked softly, "Are you hungry?" I brought you a steamed bun, get up and eat it! After speaking, Bai Zhengbo hugged the quilt and supported the boy's back, so that his body could sit up. The boy took the steamed bun from Master's hand and thanked Master with joy, this was really the most delicious steamed bun he had ever eaten, and he looked at Master stupidly and smiled as he ate.

Bai Zhengbo glanced at him, couldn't help laughing, and said, "I'm still busy laughing while eating, beware of choking!" ”

The boy smiled and nodded, and hurriedly asked, "Master, have you figured out what to name your apprentice?" ”

Bai Zhengbo said with a smile: "Master wants to name you Bai Yusheng, the word filial piety, I hope you are as flawless as Bai Yu and make a pleasant and unique music, loyal to the country and filial piety, at the same time, Master also hopes that you can no longer be displaced in your life, and can live a stable and peaceful life!" ”

The boy said to himself in surprise: "Bai Yusheng, Bai Yusheng, what a nice name, I, I finally have a name, I am finally no longer a little flower." He jumped up excitedly, the wound didn't seem to be so painful, knelt on the bed and kowtowed to Bai Zhengbo: "Thank you, Master, the apprentice will definitely live up to Master's expectations, and he will definitely be a hero who stands up to the sky and the earth, and is loyal and righteous!" ”

Bai Zhengbo accepted his kowtow, and after he kowtowed three times, he helped the boy up with one hand, let him lie down again, sat beside him again, stroked the boy's shoulder, and said: "Master does not necessarily expect you to become a big hero or hero, you just need to remember that being a man does not necessarily have to care about other people's opinions, but you must have a clear conscience and be worthy of your own conscience." In addition, loyalty and righteousness are often difficult to achieve, but loyalty is the first of righteousness, which is the foundation of my Chinese men's world! ”

With admiration, the boy said, "Master, rest assured, Master's teachings will always be remembered in my heart. ”

Bai Zhengbo nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, good!" Oh, by the way, Master almost forgot to tell you that you also have a 4-year-old junior sister named Bai Qingqing. She's a well-known mischievous ghost in the Shuyi Bamboo Forest, and you'll know it when you see her. However, you are now her senior brother, and you can't completely let her make trouble in everything, and you have to discipline your little sister more for Master. ”

The boy replied, "It's Master, the apprentice will definitely try his best to be a good brother!" ”

Bai Zhengbo snorted, and then said, "When your wound is healed, we will set off back to Shuyi Bamboo Forest." Master plans to let you enter the school first, learn the Four Books and Five Classics, the Tao of Confucius and Mencius, first learn how to be a person, and then talk about how to become a talent. ”

The boy replied respectfully, "Thank you, Master, for your teachings." ”

Bai Zhengbo smiled slightly and said, "Okay, you can recuperate quietly now, Master will come to see you every day and talk to you, so that you won't be lonely." Tomorrow, I'll go to town and buy you a new set of clothes, what color do you like? ”

The boy didn't know how to answer, he just looked at his master stupidly and smiled, Bai Zhengbo shook his head and smiled: "Why is this stupid kid smirking again, this has nothing to do with the elegant 'Yusheng', ha......."

Early the next morning, when Bai Yusheng woke up and saw that his new clothes had already been neatly placed in front of his bed, he wanted to jump up excitedly, but he pulled the wound and couldn't help but let out an "ah".

This alarmed Bai Zhengbo, who was outside, he hurriedly pushed the door closer, saw that Bai Yusheng had rolled to the ground, hurriedly picked him up, and asked, "What's wrong, Yusheng?" Don't move, or the broken bones will not grow well. ”

Bai Yusheng's face turned blue with pain, and he just reluctantly replied: "It's not in the way, master, I, I just want to wear new clothes." ”

Bai Zhengbo sighed softly and said, "Silly boy, what are you busy with, the new clothes won't run away on their own." Okay, lie down obediently and don't move any more, you know? ”

Bai Yusheng nodded sensibly and lay down obediently, but still looked at his master and new clothes with a smirk, Bai Zhengbo handed over the clothes with a smile, shook his head and said, "Okay, okay, okay, hold the clothes, so relieved, right?" ”

Looking at Yusheng's happy smirk, Bai Zhengbo couldn't bear to leave, and gently patted him to let him sleep quickly. Bai Yusheng was in a trance, and seemed to see the familiar face again, and heard the elegant song constantly echoing in his ears...... "The white lotus picks the red glow, the child sleeps in the mother's arms, pats the bamboo basket bed, and the world is better than the peach garden."

In the blink of an eye, almost a month has passed, and Yusheng's injuries have mostly healed under the careful care of Bai Zhengbo and the farmer. On this day, Bai Zhengbo entered the house and told Yusheng: "Yusheng, how about you and your teacher leave for Hangzhou early tomorrow morning?" ”

Yusheng replied: "Everything is arranged by the master......"

Bai Zhengbo smiled and nodded, and said, "Say whatever you want."

Yusheng hurriedly said: "Master, I, I want to go and see Granny Gu and say goodbye to her, oh, and Xiao Hei...... And Uncle Zhang...... is it okay? ”

Bai Zhengbo looked at Yusheng with satisfaction and said: "Knowing the importance of righteousness, worthy of the true character of a man, is my Bai Zhengbo's apprentice." ”

Yusheng heard the master praise himself, scratched his head embarrassedly, looked at the master and smirked, Bai Zhengbo saw the apprentice so stupid, and couldn't help laughing: "This stupid kid is smirking again, hahaha......."

After noon, Bai Zhengbo took Yusheng to Granny Gu's house, but when he first arrived at the door, he saw many people gathered in front of Granny Gu's door, and both the master and apprentice had an ominous premonition. Bai Zhengbo hurriedly inquired about the people around him, only to know that the Qin family insisted that Granny Gu stole his chicken ten days ago, came to collect debts, and found half a roasted big fat chicken and some chicken bones at home, and had to let Granny Gu repay them ten taels of silver within ten days, otherwise they would sell Fu'er for debts, but how did Granny Gu repay the money, early this morning, the shrimp-faced Qin San brought someone to snatch Fu'er away, and beat Granny Gu to death in the scramble, the neighbors were angry, arguing with them, and many people were injured, everyone was angry and sad, But he had no choice but to help Granny Gu take care of the aftermath.

Hearing this, Bai Yusheng rushed into the crowd with a swish, and when he saw Granny Gu lying on the ground, he didn't say a word, knelt down, buried his head in front of his chest, and grabbed the ground with his ten fingers and kept making a "squeak" sound, and after a while, his fingertips wiped blood. The people next to him were asking, "Hey, who is this kid?" Is it a relative of Granny Gu? Haven't heard of it? ”

Bai Zhengbo's face was also blue at this time, and he forcibly suppressed his anger, he stepped forward, picked up Yusheng, and said: "Don't be sad, child, the most important thing now is to bury Granny Gu and find Fu'er back!" ”

The neighbors next to him all agreed: "Yes, yes, Fu'er doesn't know what's going on." ”

Yusheng looked at the master with red eyes and said, "Everything is arranged by the master." So, Bai Zhengbo commanded everyone to bury Granny Gu's body, and hurriedly led a few people to the Qin family compound.

After a meal, Bai Zhengbo and the others came back, and everyone's faces were very ugly and angry. Everyone didn't say a word at first, but later, someone couldn't hold it back, so they asked, "What did you say, how is it, Fu'er?" ”

When one of the people who came back heard this, he scolded: "These people are really not people, they are beasts, Fu'er ......, they have sold them!" ”

When the person next to him heard this, he was anxious and hurriedly asked, "Why was it sold?" ”

The man then scolded: "Those brutes have already found a buyer, and they sold it as soon as they grabbed Fu'er, but now they can't find it at all, and the buyer doesn't know where to go, it's really ...... Woo woo ......", and suddenly, everyone fell silent.

At this time, Yusheng suddenly jumped up, brandished the fist of a twelve-year-old child, blood-red eyes, rushed outward, and shouted: "I'm going to kill them, kill them all, kill, kill, kill!" Seeing this, Bai Zhengbo stepped forward and grabbed Yusheng, but he was still screaming and struggling desperately. Bai Zhengbo had never seen a child with such an expression, and this expression made him feel an inexplicable fear, a familiar fear. He had no choice but to gently touch the back of Yusheng's neck, Yusheng suddenly fell down groggy, he picked him up, put him on Granny Gu's bed, and sat next to him without saying a word.

At this time, some of the neighbors began to disperse, and some were still indignant. A kind-hearted middle-aged woman came over and said to Bai Zhengbo: "This gentleman, you and this child can't stay here, first of all, this house is unlucky, and secondly, if the Qin family comes to find trouble again, you will be in trouble." ”

Bai Zhengbo came back to his senses from his contemplation and hurriedly said, "Thank you, I'll take this child away." Bai Zhengbo knew that what the neighbors were most afraid of was that the Qin family would make trouble again, so he walked out of the Gu family with Yusheng on his back, and according to the previous conversation with Yusheng, he found the broken temple where Yusheng used to stay. Where, he lit a fire, put the sleeping jade sheng beside the fire, and beat two pheasants to roast them. At this time, Haoyue had climbed up the branch, shining through the firelight, he looked at Yusheng's immature face blankly, thinking of his strange anger today, Bai Zhengbo couldn't help but tremble, this was the fear he didn't want to recall the most, and he fell into a deep memory. I don't know how long it took, Bai Zhengbo suddenly stood up, glanced at Yusheng, strode out, and soon drowned in the moonlight.

When Yusheng woke up early in the morning, there was no trace of the master, only saw a roasted pheasant in front of him, he was happy and worried, worried about why the master didn't come back, but he was hungry, gobbling it up, and suddenly thought of Gu's mother-in-law's death, and thought of whether his madness yesterday would anger the master, the master didn't want himself, thinking of this, he cried "wow" while chewing the food.

At this moment, a suddenly familiar voice asked, "What's wrong, Yusheng?" ”

Yusheng looked up and saw that it was the master, hugged Bai Zhengbo, and cried: "Master don't leave Yusheng, I thought the master didn't want me anymore, wow......"

Bai Zhengbo, who was really hesitant about this child, softened his heart, stroked Yusheng's head, and said gently: "Silly boy, how could the master not want you?" Behave, don't cry, look at you, the chicken fat is smeared on the master's body, hahaha......"

Yusheng also laughed when he heard this, and when he saw that the master's white shirt was full of his own tears, snot and pheasant fat on his hands, he smirked embarrassedly.

Bai Zhengbo sighed, picked up Yusheng with a smile, and said, "Let's go, the master will take you to the river to wash your face, it's just a flower-faced cat." So saying, he walked towards the river.

As soon as he stepped out of the broken temple, Bai Zhengbo suddenly jumped up in front of him, and he instinctively wanted to wave his palm, and suddenly Yusheng in his arms shouted: "Master, don't fight, it's Xiao Hei!" After speaking, he broke free from Bai Zhengbo's embrace and hugged the black dog in front of him.

Bai Zhengbo found that the black dog was much larger than the usual earth dog, although it was called Xiao Hei, it was not small at all. And the dog is indeed very familiar with Yusheng, as if they are old friends. After a while, Yusheng said goodbye to Xiao Hei, and the dog seemed to be very human, "hissing" and barking, never wanting to leave, and always following Yusheng.

Seeing this situation, Bai Zhengbo said to Yusheng: "If this black dog really wants to follow us, take it with you!" It's just that its owner will not agree? ”。

Yusheng jumped up happily when he heard this, and said, "I'll go and ask" After speaking, he turned around and ran, when Bai Zhengbo just wanted to ask him the owner of the black dog, he saw that Yusheng had already run more than ten meters away, so he had to shake his head with a smile and wait for him to come back.

After a while, Yusheng and Xiao Hei came back in a hurry, and Bai Zhengbo knew at a glance that Xiao Hei's owner agreed. So, he didn't ask him, but said to him, "Let's go, let's go." ”

Yusheng and Xiao Hei happily followed him out of Xiangyun Town, and when they were out of the town, they suddenly saw many people running towards the Qin family's compound in the town, shouting as they ran: "Go and see, all the Qin family has been punished." "I heard that they were all killed" "This kind of bully is really an eye-opener!" Hearing these words, the master and apprentice did not react in the slightest, and still walked straight out of the town.

More than ten miles out of the town, Yusheng suddenly knelt down to his master, and kowtowed six times, Bai Zhengbo asked, "Yusheng, what are you doing?" ”

Yusheng replied with tears in his eyes: "The first three are Master Xie to avenge Granny Gu and Fu'er, and the last three are to ask Master to pass on my martial arts." ”

Bai Zhengbo smiled slightly, helped him up, and said secretly: "This kid is so shrewd, he is a beautiful jade, but ......, will he bring good luck or bad luck?" ”。

So, he said: "Yusheng, to learn martial arts, you must first learn morality, and you must first learn to be a person before you can save people!" …… The Qin family was killed by the teacher, if they were not killed, more people would be victimized by it, but, alas, it was still a sin......! Let's go......".

Bai Yusheng happily said to the master: "The apprentice must listen to the master's words well, and in the future, he will definitely be a great hero like the master." ”

Bai Zhengbo hugged the lovely child tightly and said in a trembling voice: "Master is not a big hero, master...... The master has also done bad things, but it is too late to regret it, the master only hopes that you will be a person who is worthy of your heart in the future, and don't regret things like the master, this is enough, understand? ”，

Yusheng nodded sensibly, followed the master, and set off with Xiao Hei to Hangzhou, where there will be a new beginning for him.
