The sun rises in the east, and the remaining fireworks and debris on the streets of Anchang Town, as well as all kinds of snacks, bamboo sticks and all kinds of gadgets, all show the excitement of the Mid-Autumn Festival last night.

Now Chu Xiqing is no longer in bed, he wears a capable practice uniform, gets up early to practice boxing, and is still the "Cloud Fist", but he added some of his own things, which is a little more sharp.

Combined with the strange method left by Chu Xuping in the box, he was already sweating profusely after practicing for less than half an hour. Chu Xiqing gasped heavily, went back to the house to change his clothes, washed his face again, the sun was shining, Chu Xiqing stretched his waist, his eyes were clear and clear, and his smile was bright.

After breakfast, Chu Xiqing hurried to a well-known pharmacy in Anchang Town. Crossing the high threshold of the pharmacy, an old gentleman who entered the store was weighing medicine, and when he found Chu Xiqing coming, he raised his eyes and smiled: "You came so early, you had a lot of fun last night?" I heard that you also saved someone. ”

After coming to Anchang Town that year, it didn't take long for Mrs. Chu to get a serious illness, and she invited two very famous doctors but was not cured, and later someone recommended this old Mr. Shen, so she came to see a doctor with the mentality of trying, and the result was cured.

Chu Xiqing has always been very grateful to this Doctor Shen, he came and walked around when he had nothing to do, and Doctor Shen also taught him a lot of medical theory and the appearance and efficacy of many herbs, sometimes Chu Xiqing and Doctor Shen went up the mountain to collect medicine together, and sometimes he went alone. Doctor Shen wanted to give Chu Xiqing "wages", but Chu Xiqing didn't want it, so Dr. Shen often brought some snacks to Chu Xiqing. Now the relationship between the two is not grandchildren, but more like grandchildren.

Many of the medicinal materials in the hundreds of drawers on the wall were picked by Chu Xiqing on the mountain, and he should also go to the mountain to "buy" today.

Chu Xiqing touched his head and smiled, and said, "Hehe, I had a good time last night, I went to Huayun City to see the immortal master, saving people is easy, it's not worth mentioning." ”

After bringing the woman back to Anchang Town last night, the woman's family came to thank Chu Xiqing and his party, and Chu Xiqing also recognized a sister inexplicably.

Doctor Shen continued to weigh the medicine, and said with relief: "Well, the kid is still so modest, the hero should not talk about saving the beauty." By the way, there are a few medicinal herbs to be picked. As he spoke, he stopped what he was doing, took a piece of paper with medicinal herbs written on it from the side and handed it to Chu Xiqing.

Chu Xiqing took the paper and browsed it, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Shen rest assured, I promise to bring it back." With that, he turned around and ran out.

Doctor Shen looked at Chu Xiqing's back and said with emotion: "It's good to be young." ”

Anchang Town is backed by a high mountain called Baiyun Mountain, and Chu Xiqing and Dr. Shen generally collect medicine on this mountain, and occasionally go outside Anchang Town.

There was once a woodcutter who found many treasures on Baiyun Mountain, became rich overnight, and moved directly to the capital. This has led to many people delusionally wanting to hunt for treasures in Baiyun Mountain, but no one has succeeded for so many years, and gradually there are fewer people.

There was no road on Baiyun Mountain, but when there were more people walking, there was a road.

The young man in Tsing Yi carried a basket and climbed the mountain slowly, enjoying the beautiful scenery around him from time to time. Baiyun Mountain has beautiful scenery, rich resources of various medicinal materials and trees, and there are no large beasts, which is very suitable for wood picking and medicine collection. There is a mountain range behind Baiyun Mountain that connects to other mountains, but Chu Xiqing has never been there.

Chu Xiqing was able to collect one or two medicinal herbs from time to time on the roadside during the mountaineering. Halfway up the mountain, I found that there was a plant that was usually quite common here, so I had to continue upward.

Suddenly, I heard a strange noise in the bushes next to me, and then a small creature that looked like a squirrel but had no big tail and long ears ran out.

The little thing blinked, looked around vigilantly, and ran away directly after seeing Chu Xiqing.

"Huh? What is it? How I've never seen it. Chu Xiqing was very curious and happy in his heart, so he chased after him.

The little thing jumped on the tree, the speed was very fast, and ordinary people really didn't necessarily catch up, but Chu Xiqing was also a cultivator, and his speed was naturally not slow, not to mention the identity of a cultivator, Chu Xiqing was still a person who had practiced boxing for six years...... Little Master.

Following a mountain path through a dense forest, the critter finally stopped on a meadow.

Chu Xiqing looked at the clothes torn by the branches in distress, and said, "You can really run, what is it?" ”

The grass was full of green grass, but one place was gray and white, lifeless.

There was a small tree standing in the meadow, not with many leafy branches, but on it hung a red fruit, red as blood, as if it were about to drip.

The little animal circled around the tree, and Chu Xiqing walked over slowly, and his intuition told him that this tree was definitely not an ordinary thing. Chu Xiqing was about to reach out to pick the fruit when he approached, when suddenly a small cyan snake burst out from between the branches and opened its mouth to bite Chu Xiqing.

Chu Xiqing was startled, and hurriedly retracted his hand, but still let the little green snake pounce on his body, seeing that the little snake was about to climb up his neck, Chu Xiqing hurriedly reached out to grab it, caught the lower half of the little snake but found that the little snake was very slippery, not too gripped, Chu Xiqing was ruthless, with the method of practicing qi, refining the spiritual energy between heaven and earth into the arm, directly pinching the little snake, the upper half of the body was still squirming, but there was no lower body, no power, and he couldn't climb, Chu Xiqing hurriedly dusted it off.

Chu Xiqing took two steps back, patted his chest, and let out a sigh, "I'm scared to death!" Where did the snake come from? Half of the snake fell to the ground and struggled.

Then he was pleasantly surprised to find that his method of practicing qi was so smooth, he had stumbled before, and he could only refine a little, and it was not hard to accumulate a "family business" in the past two years.

After the little thing saw that the snake on the tree was gone, a few jumps jumped onto the tree and was about to pounce on it to eat the fruit, Chu Xiqing glared and shouted: "Eh, the fruit is mine, don't grab it!" An arrow stepped forward to pluck the fruit.

The red fruit is slightly cool to the touch, and there are small barbs when you rub it carefully. Chu Xiqing came close and sniffed, there was an attractive fragrance, refreshing, good things, put it away and let Grandpa Shen go back and take a look.

Chu Xiqing smiled at the little thing that fell to the ground after falling into the air, and silently stuffed the fruit into his clothes......

The little thing scratched its head in annoyance, Chu Xiqing bent down and wanted to touch it, but who knew that the little thing ran away as soon as it slipped away, Chu Xiqing looked innocently in the direction it ran away, and scratched his face, "Am I like a bad person?" ”

Chu Xiqing crossed his hands on his hips and looked around, "Where is this?" I don't think I've seen anyone before. ”

Flipping the basket behind him, "Alas, I still have to go to find medicinal herbs, let's go." ”

I went back to the mountain road I came from, I ran too fast just now, and now I walk slowly and realize that this road seems to have been man-made.

"Oh, it's here!" Chu Xiqing was overjoyed, because the plant he was looking for was on the side of the road.

I was happy all the way, went out of the mountain road, turned my head to take a look, and found that there was a stone tablet on the side of the road, with the words "outside the mountain" written on it, and the handwriting was somewhat damaged.

Chu Xiqing didn't care much about it, and he had to go back to deliver the medicinal materials, and by the way, see if he picked up a treasure.

After walking out for a while, Chu Xiqing suddenly felt in a trance, shook his head, and left directly.

Chu Xiqing didn't look back, if he turned around, he would find that the place behind him, looming, seemed to be nothing, and gradually disappeared, and a completely different scene appeared from before.

It was August, and at noon, the sun in the sky was very poisonous, which also brought out the preciousness of the shade under the tree.

Chu Xiqing was sweating, sitting in the shade of a tree to enjoy the shade, the cicadas were singing incessantly in his ears, and he couldn't help but think of the summer many years ago, when he fought with someone for the first time, and he was a boy with a poisonous mouth. Because Chu Xiqing's father has never appeared since he was born, there are always peers who ridicule and ridicule him about this matter, what he said that time was really ugly, Chu Xiqing couldn't help it, so he fought with that peer, that kid had a strong mouth, his fists and feet were not good, he was beaten by Chu Xiqing and cried all the time, and then went back to complain, the child's father and mother went to Chu Mansion to ask for an explanation, but Chu Xiqing's mother is not a bullying person, she doesn't think that her child has done wrong, since this is the case, if you want to quarrel with you, if you want to beat the old lady, I will pull down the child and call someone! In the end, the matter was settled.

Chu Xiqing asked himself if he really didn't have any feelings for the father he had never met, and he didn't think what would happen to that father if he had been all the time, anyway, it was fine now, as long as his mother was safe, Chu Xiqing would be satisfied. Now there is one more thought, a thought that does not belong to mortal dust, but he can't say that this is what his brother explained.

Chu Xiqing crossed his hands behind his head and leaned against the tree, closed his eyes and recalled the last words of the letter left by his brother - "Xiqing, according to your temperament, you must have opened it early." It's okay, some things are better sooner. The world you told you above, you can refuse it, accept it for your brother, of course, for brother or hope that you can see the real world hidden under the surface. In addition, for my brother is not filial, I have never been filial piety by my mother's side for several years, I am really ashamed, and I hope that you can better replace me by my mother's side. Xiqing, you will be in charge in the future. Finally, you can come to me in the future. Cherish, cherish, cherish. ”

A gust of hot wind blew, Chu Xiqing came back to his senses, and remembered something, hey, why is it noon, have I been collecting medicine for so long? Chu Xiqing, who squinted at the great sun in the sky, was puzzled.

got up to look for a way down the mountain, and if he didn't go back, Grandpa Shen should be worried, and after walking for a while, a few words of conversation attracted Chu Xiqing - "Just bury him here." "Isn't it going to be dead?" One of them was not angry: "Then you knock him twice!" Alas, okay, bury it quickly, who let this kid have bad luck and provoke the young master, but it's really false, and he fell after two touches. "Don't say it, bury it quickly, it's really unlucky."

Chu Xiqing approached the source of the sound, hid behind a tree, peeked over, and was horrified to see two servant-like people digging a pit, and a purple-clothed young man lying on the ground, with blood on his head, was tied with ropes.

"This ...... It's going to kill someone!" Chu Xiqing was shocked. I've beaten people, and I've seen blood, but I've never experienced such a death as today.

Chu Xiqing hesitated in his heart, whether to save it or not, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous! But when I think about it, I'm a cultivator! Afraid of what.

I looked around, picked up a few rocks, and tried first.

"Whew!" A stone hit one of them with precision, "Ahh The man screamed, and the whole person bent in pain to the place where it was hit.

Before the two could react, Chu Xiqing threw another stone and hit the other person, and the person immediately felt the pain of his companion. With a wail, all the birds in the forest flew away.

"Ah, who! Who is it?" One of them gritted his teeth and looked around viciously.

Finding that the two reacted so violently, Chu Xiqing suddenly felt the bottom of his heart. immediately put down the basket, walked out slowly, looked at the two of them, and said awe-inspiringly: "You dare to harm people's lives in broad daylight, today I will arrest you to the government for Tianxingdao!" Chu Xiqing admits that what he said is already very Jianghu.

The two of them were very surprised when they saw someone, and they were still very scared, but when they saw that it was a young man in Tsing Yi, they had a murderous intention in their hearts, and one of them said fiercely: "You threw the stone just now, since you saw it, let's accompany him." As he spoke, he pulled out a short knife from his clothes, and the other picked up a stone from the ground.

Chu Xiqing's heart was still tight when he saw the bright knife, but he cheered himself up in his heart: "What am I afraid of, it's just two ordinary people." ”

The man with the knife brandished the knife and rushed towards Chu Xiqing, Chu Xiqing did not hide, but took the initiative to meet it, and when the short knife was about to stab Chu Xiqing's chest, he suddenly stopped his figure and took a step back, his left hand instantly grabbed the wrist of the man holding the knife and pulled it forward, and punched the man in the stomach sideways, "Ah! A miserable scream, the voice has not disappeared, and he slapped Chu Xiqing on the top of his knee again, and the short knife in his hand couldn't hold it and fell to the ground, after Chu Xiqing let go, the man fell to the ground and covered his stomach and wailed in pain, only ten seconds before and after, and the other person was already stupid.

Chu Xiqing put his hands behind his back, his face was very calm, but in fact, he was ecstatic in his heart, and pretended to be profound: "Do you want to come too?" ”

"Da!" The stone fell to the ground with a soft thud. Without any idea of doing anything, just pull your legs and run.

Chu Xiqing still wanted to catch up, but when he thought that there was a young man in purple who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he gave up the idea of catching up, and lowered his body to check the breath of the young man in purple, yes, but it was very weak.

Hurry, there is still salvation.

Untied the purple-clothed young man's back behind him, glanced at the position of the basket, pulled the corners of his mouth, it was a little heavy, and began to run down the mountain, not forgetting to kick the one who fell to the ground when he left.

Outside the pharmacy, Dr. Shen was still waiting for Chu Xiqing to come back, looked at the sun in the middle of the sky, and wondered in his heart: "Why did you have to go for so long today, those medicinal materials are not so difficult to find, right?" I'll have to look for it if I don't come back. ”

turned around and wanted to return to the store, but he heard a voice from a distance: "Grandpa Shen-"

Following the prestige, I saw a young man in Tsing Yi running with a purple dress on his back, and Dr. Shen hurriedly greeted him.

Chu Xiqing's face turned red, panting, and said, "Whew, Grandpa Shen, come ...... Save him! ”

Doctor Shen was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" Didn't you go to collect medicine, who is this person? ”

"Whew...... Grandpa Shen, I'll tell you later, save him first. Chu Xiqing put down the person behind him, and Dr. Shen and Chu Xiqing helped him into the store together.

Chu Xiqing rested for a while, and then went up the mountain to get the basket again.

It seems that he is often tired after leaving Jingcheng, and Chu Xiqing is not a person who can't endure hardships, but he is not a child in Jingcheng after all.

The simple room was filled with the smell of herbs, and the young man lying on the bed had several needles stuck in his arms.

The young man's eyelids moved slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. As soon as the young man opened his eyes and found himself in an unfamiliar environment, a sharp pain came from his head, and he wanted to reach out to cover his head, but found that there was a needle in his arm and a bandage on his head.

At this time, an old man came in with a bowl, found him awake, put the bowl on the table, and asked softly, "Young man, how are you feeling when you wake up?" ”

The young man replied with difficulty: "I feel pain all over, old man, did you save me?" Where is this? ”

Doctor Shen smiled and said: "Young man, it's normal to hurt, the old man Shen Jingwen is a doctor, and the one who saved you is a young man named Chu Xiqing, and the old man is just helping you treat your illness." This is a pharmacy in Anchang Township. ”

The youth smiled, but it was more ugly than crying, "Thank you, Mr. Shen." ”

Shen Jingwen asked puzzledly: "Young man, you don't look like you are from a poor family, how can you end up like this?" ”

The young man's face was full of pain, his eyes were full of bitterness, and he smiled bitterly: "My name is Wen Muyan, I was originally from Pingling County, I ran away from home before, and walked all the way to Hanjiang County, Jiangjiang County, and the money brought out from home was used up, and then I had a conflict with the son of a family in Hanjiang County. ”

Shen Jingwen nodded and said, "Well, I don't look like you're from Jiangjun when you hear your accent, it's miserable to be alone outside, why don't you go back?" ”

Wen Muyan shook his head and didn't answer.

Seeing that Wen Muyan had something unspeakable, Shen Jingwen was very interested and didn't continue to ask. Who doesn't have a secret?

Chu Xiqing, who took back the basket, walked slowly on the street, and when he just went back, he found that the man had run away, but fortunately the basket was not stolen.

"Have you heard, Huayun City invited an immortal master yesterday, but it's amazing, you can conjure a dragon!" "Of course I know, but I heard that someone was found fainting on the side of the wall of Huayun City this morning!" "Ahh It's really fake, that's the Immortal Master! The conversation between the two people on the street aroused Chu Xiqing's curiosity, after all, he had seen that immortal master last night.

"Tsk! It's unpredictable! Chu Xiqing thought so. Also, after all, who would have thought that he Chu Xiqing would save two people from last night to now?

Thinking of this, Chu Xiqing's steps couldn't help but become brisk, and he hurried back to the store to see how the person he saved was doing.

Back in the store, Shen Jingwen was preparing lunch, saw Chu Xiqing, and greeted: "Xiqing, quickly put down the basket and eat." ”

Chu Xiqing put down the basket, wiped his face with his arm, and asked with a smile, "Grandpa Shen, how is that person?" ”

Shen Jingwen took two bowls of rice and said, "The situation is not bad, it's in the back room, you can go and have a look, he still wants to thank you." ”

Chu Xiqing nodded: "I'll take a look, Grandpa Shen, you eat first." ”

When I came to the room, I saw a young man sitting on the bed looking up at the ceiling in a daze. The young man noticed that someone had come in, and it was a teenager, so he knew that it was the teenager that Dr. Shen had said.

Still wanting to get up and say thank you, Chu Xiqing hurriedly said, "Don't don't, you can rest for a long time." ”

Wen Muyan thanked him and said: "Wen Muyan thanks Gongzi Chu for the rescue, this great favor Wen will be remembered in his heart." ”

Chu Xiqing waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, there's no need to worry about it, but why did those two people bury you alive?" ”

"Alas, their master wanted me an object, but I didn't give it, so the man grabbed it and let his subordinates beat me, probably because he thought that I was afraid that I would wake up and report to the official after I fainted, so he would take my life." Wen Muyan was a little annoyed but said helplessly.

Chu Xiqing frowned after hearing this, and said angrily: "It's so arrogant, can't you really be the government to manage it?!" ”

The young man shook his head, and said bitterly: "Forget it, that person must have some background, I am weak, if I report to the official, I may be bitten back, but lose my life." ”

Chu Xiqing never lowered his brows, and finally sighed.

These people with backgrounds are really .........

After being silent for a long time, Chu Xiqing wanted to ask him if he was hungry, but he heard a "goo~" Wen Muyan's face was a little red.

Chu Xiqing had no choice but to say, "Do you want to go out and eat?" Grandpa Shen's craftsmanship is still okay. ”

Wen Muyan shook his head and said, "No, Dr. Shen said that I can only eat some light food for the time being." ”

Chu Xiqing let out an "oh", thought about it, took out the fruit in his arms, wiped it, handed it to Wen Muyan, and said, "You should be able to eat this fruit, and you can't be hungry." ”

Wen Muyan thanked him and took it.

After that, Chu Xiqing went out to eat.

At the dinner table, Shen Jingwen said: "Xiqing, tell me how you saved him." ”

Chu Xiqing swallowed the food in his mouth, and then told the scene again.

After listening to this, Shen Jingwen teased: "Xiqing, it's okay, it seems that your boxing skills have become great, how can you also be a grandmaster." ”

Chu Xiqing smiled shyly.

Chu Xiqing, who had been busy all morning, was also really hungry, and ate two bowls of rice in succession, but there was not much food left on the table. Shen Jingwen suddenly spoke: "Xiqing, do you think it's right or wrong to help people when they see someone in difficulty?" ”

Chu Xiqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "It should be right." ”

Shen Jingwen smiled and said: "You always have to consider the consequences when doing things, you have to consider whether you can withstand the punishment of the revelation of things for bad things, and you have to consider whether you can accept the benefits of good things." Helping people is the same, you need to think about helping people after you finish helping them, sometimes helping people may be just a good time, and then it will be worse than the original. Besides, it is possible that it was a mistake for you to help people at that time......" Shen Jingwen wanted to say something, but shook his head and stopped.

Chu Xiqing was puzzled, and he didn't know why Grandpa Shen suddenly said this. Do I have to think about so many things for a person?

Then Shen Jingwen smiled and said: "Don't listen to what I just said, just complain, it's good that you are still like this, you don't need to change it." ”

Chu Xiqing let out an "oh" and continued to bow his head to eat, but he still remembered what Shen Jingwen said just now.

After eating, Chu Xiqing said goodbye and was about to go home, remembered something, and asked, "Grandpa Shen, is it okay for that Wen Gongzi to live with you temporarily, will it cause you trouble?" ”

Shen Jingwen shook his head with a smile and said, "No, no, you should go home quickly." ”

Chu Xiqing nodded and turned to go home.

Shen Jingwen sat on the rocking chair and closed his eyes to rest, there was no guest today. The daylight in the pharmacy was bright, but it couldn't shine into the room.

Only the "squeak" of the rocking chair as it rocked around.
