Chapter 5: Folk Suffering

Chu Hao followed the old man into the courtyard, came to the hall, and looked at the environment of the old man's home, but his mood was a little depressed.

The outside of the yard looks okay, but the yard is already destitute, there is nothing of value at all, and the house is dilapidated, it has not been renovated for a long time!

The old man brought up a pot of white water, handed it to Chu Hao, and said, "These are the only ones in the house!" I hope you don't mind, after all, this is the countryside, not as rich as the people in the city." ”

The old man asked again, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

Chu Hao nodded and said, "Yes, uncle, after a day's journey, I really didn't eat, if it's convenient, please ask the uncle to get me some food?"

"Wait a minute," the old man agreed, turning and leaving.

Chu Hao sat in the hall, feeling the hardships of folk life, and his mood was as calm as water. He secretly said in his heart: "This is the life I need now, at this time I am not the same as before, I have no worries about food and clothing in the sect, and there are people who serve me every day, so I can't feel this kind of life at all." ”

A few minutes later, Chu Hao felt that the house next to him seemed to be a place to cook, so he strolled over, came to the door, and looked at the environment in the room.

The old man squatted on the ground, holding firewood and cooking. In the corner of the room and the dilapidated ground, there is a pile of food similar to eating, but it feels very bad, and it should have been collected in the mountains.

Chu Hao peeked into the pot and was taken aback, what was cooking in the pot was the wild vegetables he used to eat when he was a child, and most of them he had eaten at that time, so he was very familiar with them.

Chu Hao did not alarm the old man. Turning back into the hall, he sat there thinking about the old man's life. Chu Hao probed the village, this place does not seem to be close to the mountains, and they can't make a living by hunting, can it be that these people can only eat wild vegetables every day, and there is no food to use?

About half an hour later, the old man came to the room with a bowl of green vegetable porridge, and the old man said with some embarrassment: "This young master, there is only these things to eat at home......!"

The bitterness on the old man's face had already explained the qiē in front of him. Chu Hao smiled and said, "Uncle." It's already good, and I'm so satisfied to have a bite of it hot!"

For the green vegetable porridge in front of him, Chu Hao ate it in a few bites. Set the bowl aside. Sit down and talk to the old man about family matters.

The old man had a daughter under his knees. There are no other relatives, but because of her beautiful appearance, her daughter was taken by the young master of a family in the county government. was directly forcibly taken away as a maid, and did not give any money to the old man.

Chu Hao listened to the old man talk about the things at home, he felt a lot of sadness, feeling the old man's life at this time, feeling that it was no better than his own home at that time, similar to when he was a child, and every time the old man went to the mountains to collect wild vegetables, he would go for a long time, and the amount collected each time was very small, and it was not enough to feed himself.

Chu Hao wanted to do something for the old man, but when he heard the old man talk about his daughter, he immediately asked, "Uncle, what is your daughter's name?"

Hearing Chu Hao ask his daughter, the old man said with tears in the corners of his eyes: "My daughter's name is Xiuju, and she was robbed by the Qian family of the county government!

The more the old man spoke, the more painful his heart became, and slowly the old man began to cry, and many times he fell into a coma due to sadness.

Chu Hao knew in his heart that there were countless families like this in the world, but could he save them? Don't care about the others yet! Since he has encountered it, let's help the old man!

Help the old man to his room to rest, sit on a stool by himself, and meditate instead of sleeping. In the early morning of the second day, Chu Hao opened his eyes and looked at the old man cooking in the kitchen, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "I ate two meals from you, and I will give you a happy family!"

After a simple meal with the old man, Chu Hao said: "Uncle, I want to trouble you to go to the county government with me, I don't know the way, here is your expense." Chu Hao took out a gold coin and handed it to the old man, the old man looked at Chu Hao in surprise and asked, "Take the road to the county government, there is so much money to give, this money is enough for me to eat for half a year! And I can eat food every day." ”

Chu Hao smiled slightly: "Uncle, you are a good person, you should have a good reward, this gold coin is the cost of showing you the way, I hope you can take me to the county government." ”

The old man trembled happily, "Okay, I'll take the young master to the county government, I know the road, and it's a short road, and it definitely tells the young master to take a lot of unjust roads." ”

The old man simply cleaned up and took Chu Hao to the county mansion, in fact, Chu Hao was looking for an excuse, and wanted to take the old man to the county mansion to find his daughter, a distance of 100 miles, how could Chu Hao not know where the county mansion was?

The old man took Chu Hao and walked towards the county government, pointed to the mountain road in front of him, and said: "This road is very close, only less than fifty miles, but it is all mountain roads, which is a little difficult to walk, and I hope the young master will not be surprised." ”

The mountain road is rugged, gravel is everywhere, the old man walks very unsteadily, and there is a possibility of falling at any time, looking at the old man's appearance, Chu Hao reached out to help the old man, pulled the old man's arm with his left hand, and pressed his right hand on the old man's back.

After walking more than ten miles, the old man was a little tired, sweating profusely, and out of breath when he walked. Looking at the old man's form, Chu Hao's right hand was attached to the back of the old man's heart, and a gentle aura was injected into the old man's body.

The old man didn't feel it, Chu Hao injected Xuan Qi for himself, but he just felt that he walked very easily, as if he didn't have any effort at all, and he walked faster and faster, and he didn't feel any tiredness.

The remaining forty miles of mountain road, the old man and Chu Hao, only took two hours to complete, and the two appeared in front of the gate of the county capital.

Chu Hao smiled and said: "Uncle, you will live here tonight! It is not too late to go back tomorrow, it is already noon! We haven't eaten yet, and when we have eaten, we will find a place to stay first, and you will go back early tomorrow morning." ”

The old man stared at Chu Hao with a smile and a wise look in his eyes, and said, "Young Master Chu, if you stay here for one night, you will use a lot of money, and I can't afford to compare it with this old man." At this time, the old man's face was ruddy, and although he was a little short of breath, he felt much better than when he came!

Chu Hao smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, uncle, I am responsible for the cost of living, and I don't need you to pay." ”

Take the old man to find an inn, the small inn is not big, but it has everything, Chu Hao ordered a few drinks and food, and sat in the room to accompany the old man to eat.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Chu Hao asked, "Uncle, you said that your daughter's name is Xiuju, right?

At the mention of Xiuju, the old man's tears suddenly burst out of his eyes, and the old man nodded with tears in his eyes.

Chu Hao tested the old man, the old man's body was not pretended, he had no cultivation on his body, he was definitely an ordinary village person, so Chu Hao decided to finally help the old man, looking at the old man's body, he couldn't live long, at most three or five years, at least one year, and he would definitely die.

smiled and said: "Uncle, I'll go out to do something, you can rest here, I've already paid the money, I'll go out and come back, don't go away, wait here for me to come back." ”

Chu Hao's words, the old man listened a little incomprehensible, but looking at the gold coins given by Chu Hao, the old man still believed Chu Hao and nodded yes.

Leaving the room, he walked to the street of the county government, thinking about how to solve the old man's daughter Xiuju, he couldn't just break in and kill people! If this was known, the sect master of his own dignified sect would enter the door and rob people, this was not what he wanted to see.

After walking for a few minutes, Chu Hao remembered Sun Wei's elder token, this is the county capital city, there should be a branch of the Seven Star Gate! or any four-grade and five-grade sect, after all, this is the sphere of influence of the Xuanwu Sect, and with the token of the Great Elder, it should be able to solve this matter.

Chu Hao smiled and said, "It seems that it is really good to come out and mingle with a token, otherwise you can only rely on yourself for everything!"

continued to look for the sect forces along the street, but after walking out for half an hour, he asked passers-by again, and finally walked to the branch of the Seven Star Gate, and when he arrived at the door, Chu Hao looked at the branch of the Seven Star Gate, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "It is worthy of the Sanpin Sect, and every branch is so magnificent." When I entered the Xuanwu Gate back then, the Xuanwu Gate Branch in Taihang County was estimated to be only half the size here. ”

Walking into the branch hall, the Qixingmen branch is full of all kinds of weapons, similar to the Chamber of Commerce, people who have to support their own sect must have financial resources, otherwise the huge sect, tens of thousands of people, what to eat and what to wear!

Walked to the counter, took out Sun Wei's elder token, and handed it to a woman who looked like a steward at the counter.

The lady at this counter is fairly good-looking, with a well-proportioned, plump figure, and looks like she is in her thirties.

Seeing Chu Hao handing over a token, the lady reached out and touched it, looking at the words Xuanwu Gate written on it, the lady suddenly widened her eyes and stared at Chu Hao.

In the lady's heart, the Xuanwu Sect is already the superior of her own sect, although it is not the same as her own sect, but after all, the sect is mixed by the Xuanwu Sect, although she is a third-grade sect, but it is far from the second-grade sect!

With a smile on her face, the lady walked out of the counter and came to Chu Hao's side and asked, "I don't know what the elder commands?"

Looking at this woman's appearance, Chu Hao was a little embarrassed to approach, because this woman had a feeling that made men feel relaxed.

Chu Hao smiled and said: "Take me to the manager here, I will find him to handle ...... matter" (to be continued......)
