One
It is said that the sea of suffering is endless, and turning back is the shore, but if you don't enter the sea of suffering, how can you get it?
Dongjingguo, Pingya City, Jiuli Town.
The sun is like fire, the cicadas are like noise, the streets are bustling, the vendors selling all kinds of goods are in close proximity, and all kinds of beautiful cries are attracting merchants from the south to the north one after another.
In the corner of the street, there is an inconspicuous, even slightly shabby small stall, a square scarf spread on the ground, on which there are more than a dozen medicinal herbs neatly placed, behind the stall, sat a woman in her thirties, her name is Yunrou, the silk handkerchief is wrapped around her head, and the coarse cloth clothes can not hide the beautiful and good temperament, next to a little girl who is only four or five years old, playing alone, the little girl combs her pigtails, and her big watery eyes are eccentric.
The immature shout of "Mother" came from the mouth of the little girl.
"Min'er, isn't it a little hot? It's almost over, sell these medicinal herbs, and my mother will take you home." Yunrou looked at the little girl, her eyes full of love.
"Mother, Min'er is not hot. The little girl smiled sweetly, stretched out her little hand to wipe the sweat beads from her mother's forehead, and at the same time shouted in a thoughtful voice: "Come and buy it, pure mountain ginseng, rare dendrobium, precious cordyceps, don't miss it." The little girl shouted so loudly, and she looked so serious, that many guests stopped and watched.
"Min'er! Yun Rou stomped her foot in a hurry, angry and funny, hurriedly stopped the little girl's shouting, and nodded to the crowd in apology.
The little girl looked at her mother blankly, "Mother, after selling these medicinal herbs, won't we be able to go home?"
"yes, Min'er. Yun Rou looked at her daughter and patiently explained: "But what you just said, we have already sold out, and only this little is left now, and there is no such thing you just said here." Then Yun Rou and softly explained the names of the various herbs to the little girl, and the little girl nodded from time to time and kept them in her heart.
After all, the little girl did not have much patience to learn these complicated things for her, and after a while she turned around and went back to playing on her own.
As for passers-by, they will quickly forget this scene.
However, the world is impermanent, and there are always people who take the opportunity to find trouble.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way!" the loud cheers came from far and near, squeezing into the noisy flow of people.
"Why don't you look at the road, bastard, bump into the old..."The person who was brutally hit was also very angry, but after seeing the other party, the voice was weak and inaudible before he finished speaking, and the person also flashed into the crowd in an instant, so as not to suffer a greater loss.
"It's really looking for death. The shrill voice was dragged for a long time, and the impulsive momentum seemed to force the crowd out of the distance, and although the crowded place was already crowded, the crowd still gave way under the oppression of that momentum.
The sound of noisy shouting is slowly approaching Yunrou's booth.
Looking at this scene, Yunrou frowned slightly, "Min'er, it's too hot, my mother packed her things, let's go home." ”
"But there are still these medicinal herbs?" Min'er raised her head to look at her mother, but there were already small beads of sweat on her little face, this hot weather was undoubtedly a kind of torment for the little girl, maybe she should have been in a cool place to escape the heat now, and a little sour plum soup would probably be better.
"Wait until next time. Yun Rou said as she carefully wrapped up the medicinal herbs.
"Hey, who was shouting pure ginseng just now?" The shrill voice seemed to puncture a person's eardrum.
Although Yunrou sped up, before the things were finished, the corner of the scarf was ripped off. Yun Rou raised her head and found that there were more than a dozen servants standing opposite, followed by a handsome young man, who looked to be less than twenty years old, with a face like a crown of jade, sharp edges and corners, and an unconcealable arrogance between his eyebrows.
"This little brother," Yun Rou knew in her heart that the other party was afraid that she was going to find trouble, but she was extremely reluctant to be right and wrong on weekdays, so there was a twelve-point humility in her tone at this time, "It was a child shouting just now, and I hope you have a lot of adults, don't worry about her." ”
"Oh, what do you mean by that, do you mean that our young master is like a child?"
cough, the young man who was called the young master coughed lightly, and looked at the entourage who had just spoken unhappily, and the entourage immediately shrank his head and didn't dare to speak.
"Without further ado, you might as well take out your mountain ginseng and let my young master taste it for you, and see if it is precious!" another attendant explained his intention straightforwardly.
"yes, take it out. "A few entourage, you and I said a word, surrounded Yunrou's stall, and saw that they were going to start if they didn't take it out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, just now the little girl is ignorant, I am here to make amends to you, mountain ginseng, there is really no more. Yunrou was anxious to explain, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, and the little girl was also a little frightened, so she secretly hid behind her mother and looked at the man in gorgeous clothes opposite.
"It's really noisy, the buyer comes to the door, and he still refuses to take out something good? If it really takes a look at my young master, you don't have to sell it for half a year. The frivolous words caused a burst of laughter from several of the attendants.
Yunrou was unhappy in her heart, and she had no choice but to continue to pack her things.
"What a rude woman!Young Master Shen is here, how can he be so faceless?" the two attendants said as they reached out and pulled up the two corners of the square scarf, pulling it back, and the medicinal herbs that had been wrapped by Yun Rou before were scattered to the ground with a bang.
"You!" Although Yun Rou understands etiquette, she will inevitably be angry at this time.
"Mother!" Min'er hugged her mother's thigh tightly.
Yun Rou patted her daughter lightly, suppressing the anger in her heart, "Everyone, there is really no mountain ginseng, if you must want it, you might as well wait a few days and send it to your house." ”
"I really don't know how to lift, Young Master Shen has something that he can't afford. ”
"Besides, Young Master Shen has taken a fancy to your things, that's your blessing, why are you still pushing back like this?"
The entourage shouted for a while, and Yunrou couldn't get out, and the onlookers gathered more and more.
The man known as Young Master Shen finally waved his hand arrogantly, took two steps forward and said to Yun Rou: "Don't worry, buy your things, I will pay you double the money." ”
"Young Master Shen, I'm afraid you've misunderstood, doing business on this street, of course I know the name of the Shen family, but the ginseng you want is really gone. What's more, just now the little girl was ignorant and shouted indiscriminately. I hope that Young Master Shen will not blame him. Yun Rou's words were a little more humble and not arrogant.
"That's fine. Young Master Shen raised his hand, "I won't go around the bend with you, to tell you the truth, I know that you have a thousand-year-old ginseng in your hand, so I came here to find you today." ”
Hearing this, Yun Rou's heart suddenly rippled, the news of the Shen Mansion was inevitably too well-informed, but she still pretended to be calm on the surface.
"Millennial ginseng, that's a very valuable thing, look at me here, just a few ordinary medicinal materials, how can it look like there is a thousand-year-old ginseng? If you say that ordinary mountain ginseng, you may have it in a few days, but that thousand-year-old ginseng, you can't ask for it, I don't dare to agree..."
"There are some things, you and I are well aware, I advise you not to toast and not eat and drink!" Young Master Shen raised his eyebrows, and before Yun Rou could finish speaking, he interrupted her words. "If I didn't know the details of you, I wouldn't have come here to look for you. ”
Time passed bit by bit, and the crowd became thicker and thicker, some people wanted to see the liveliness of the millennium ginseng, some people hated Young Master Shen's domineering, sympathized with Yunrou's weakness, and of course, some people were fishing in troubled waters to see if they could get some benefits.
This was originally just an inconspicuous street corner, but because of the noise, it attracted more people, gathered together in twos and threes, and whispered discussions.
"Hey, you said that the one who bullied this orphan and widow is not afraid of retribution?"
"What retribution is he afraid of? It has always been his retribution to others. ”
"Quiet up, don't be retributioned in a moment. ”
"Hmph, don't underestimate this woman, she's not as easy to bully as she seems. ”
"Let go, please give way. While speaking, a teenager laboriously squeezed into the crowd, wearing a collared green cloth shirt, like an adult's clothes, but it was cleanly washed, fourteen or fifteen years old, with short black hair, wide forehead, ingots, big eyes and long eyebrows, a nose like a hanging gall, lips like painted Zhu, although the face is slightly immature, the body is very strong, and it looks a little honest and honest.
"Aunt Rou!" the young man shouted loudly, passing through the layers of the crowd, and at the same time struggling to squeeze in.
Yun Rou, who was originally forced to have no way out, only relaxed a little when she heard the young man's shout, and looked back at the girl behind her, who was already timid, this is the person she is most worried about and worried about, "Min'er, it's Brother Chen who is here, can you go home with him first?"
"No, I want Mom. Min'er looked at her mother with tears in her eyes, and today's scene was undoubtedly the first unforgettable experience in her life.
"Hmph, let me tell you, if you can't hand over the thousand-year-old ginseng, don't even think about leaving any of you today. Young Master Shen shook his head playfully, looking at the mother and daughter in front of him, it seemed that they were a pair of prey waiting to die.
The young man finally squeezed into the crowd, and looking at the situation, he also knew in his heart that it was not good, Aunt Rou has always been less concerned with people, let alone provoke right and wrong, and the man in front of him who looks like a man in a gorgeous dress has an arrogant and domineering momentum, which really makes people feel good.
The young man walked through a few attendants and walked in front of Yun Rou, without even looking at the young master Shen, "Aunt Rou, my father said that the weather is really hot today, and I knew that Lu Dao shouldn't have let you come over, so let me help you pack your things, let's go back." ”
"Hmm" Yun Rou responded, "I was also about to take Min'er back, but the medicinal materials were not good yet, why don't you take her away first, I packed my things, and then came." ”
The young man glanced at the medicinal herbs scattered on the ground, although there were not many things, he also had a sense of disarray, "Aunt Rou, let me help you." ”
"Forget it, you'd better take Min'er away first. What Yunrou hopes most at the moment is that her daughter can leave safely.
"It's annoying. Young Master Shen sighed in a low voice, and then looked at his entourage, and the people naturally understood.
"What a rude boy, when you see the young master, you don't salute?" said four of the attendants, and surrounded the young man in the middle.
"Say hello to the dog, don't get in the way. Seeing the other party's posture, the young man was already on guard, and at the same time bent down to pick up the medicinal herbs that had fallen to the ground.
"Stinky boy, you dare to scold, who do you say is a dog?"
"Of course those who are dogs, well, maybe not even dogs. The young man picked up a medicinal herb and stood up, looked at the four attendants and smiled,
"Tired of living, aren't you?" The entourage is overwhelming, and naturally they will not be afraid of a teenager, the four of them will suffer a loss, of course, they will find it back, and they will do it at the same time to besiege the teenager.
The boy didn't care, seeing the four people's fists and feet falling from all sides, but only saw the thinnest one of the four, pounced like a tiger, and bumped into the other party's arms, the entourage was startled by this sudden change, lost his reaction, the boy took the opportunity to grab his collar with his left hand, picked up the right fist, and fell mercilessly on the other party's face, and suddenly his face was full of peach blossoms. Although he was also punched and kicked by the other three people, the entourage who was caught by the boy was beaten very badly, and then the boy let go of him and looked for the next target, and the other three obviously didn't expect the boy to be so brave, so they shrank back in fright, and helped the beaten one to stand with the other entourage.
Young Master Shen didn't expect the young man in front of him to act so decisively, the beaten entourage covered his cheeks and snorted, and the others were also stunned, not knowing what to do.
Folding face, Young Master Shen snorted softly, "It's all useless!"
"After beating the Shen family's descendants, this kid doesn't know anything. ”
"Yes, whose child is this, I'm afraid I'm going to suffer. ”
"Which young master of the Shen family is this?"
"Shen Tianwen, it is said that he has been cultivating in a major sect for several years, and he only came back not long ago. ”
There were whispers in the crowd, some waiting to see the excitement, and some worried about the teenager.
The young man seemed to be full of care, patted the dust on his body, walked over in a big way, and stretched out his hand to lead the little girl, "Min'er, go home with my brother." He looked at the woman again, "Aunt Rou, let's go." "It's completely like no one else.
Young Master Shen suddenly felt that his face was gloomy, his liver was full of fire, and he said a few good words, and then stepped out of his right hand and grabbed the young man's left shoulder like lightning, and the young man was also alert, but he was about to take Min'er, it was inconvenient to dodge, and he was afraid of hurting the innocent, so he had to lean his body and sneer, and the young man's green shirt was torn open a long hole from his left shoulder to his chest. Young Master Shen still didn't give up, and slapped the young man's cheek with his backhand. The young man avoided it, hugged Min'er and jumped back, staring at Shen Tianwen with frowning eyebrows, "Don't bully people too much!" Although the voice was not loud, it was not fierce.
The noisy crowd gradually quieted down, and this corner was already surrounded by water.
"This young master of the Shen family, although he is a little arrogant, but looking at him, he looks like he has been instructed by a celebrity. ”
"Hehe, what can you see? ”
"Young Master Shen is not bad, but the child on the other side seems to be the son of Man Tianchen. ”
"Mantian Chen, Mantian Chen in the south of the city, what is he doing in the north of the city, and he is still provoking the people of the Shen family?"
"Hey, it's not him, it's anyone, this excitement is a bit of a sight to behold. ”
"It is said that the Shen Mansion has been invited three times and five times, but they have not invited this old man Chen. This child should be Old Man Chen's only son, Chen Su. ”
"Hmph, Old Man Chen can't fight that Shen Mansion, it won't take a few years, this place will have to belong to the Shen family. ”
"Hey, the Shen family's power is getting bigger and bigger. ”
......
Shen Tianwen looked at Chen Su, threw the strip of cloth in his hand aside, and the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to mock, "Who is my Dao, so strong, it turned out to be Chen Gongzi." So my subordinates are not wronged when they are beaten, but it depends on the owner to beat the dog. In this way, you let her take out the thousand-year-old ginseng, and I, Shen Tianwen, will also give Chen Gongzi a face, forget about this matter. ”
"Young Master Shen, there really isn't this thousand-year-old ginseng. Yun Rou looked at Shen Tianwen and shook her head.
Chen Su glanced at Shen Tianwen, "Did you hear it?" Otherwise, if you want to fight, Chen Sufeng will accompany you!"
Hahaha... Shen Tianwen looked up to the sky and smiled, "Gongzi Chen, do you know the Dao? I'm so scared!"
As soon as Shen Tianwen's voice fell, his figure flickered, but his palms were close to Chen Su's chest, and the crowd of onlookers saw the two of them moving again, and Hula gave up a big circle, for fear of being affected by the fish in the pond.
Chen Su's eyes froze, he didn't expect Shen Tianwen to do it directly, and it was faster than before, and he was more ruthless, so he had no choice but to accept it, but as soon as he faced the enemy, he felt powerless, not only was he five or six years younger than Shen Tianwen, his experience was far apart, and he had never received formal guidance training, and only occasionally followed his father to learn some basics, but his father didn't want him to practice martial arts, so he taught very little.
After three moves, Chen Su couldn't keep up, he was slightly sluggish, and was slapped on his left shoulder by Shen Tianwen, staggered out of the ground five or six steps, and fell to the ground.
"Su'er!" Yun Rou couldn't help but be surprised and anxious when she saw Chen Su suffer a loss.
"It's okay, Aunt Rou. Chen Su stood up, moved his muscles and bones, and stared at Shen Tianwen tightly.
"How is it?" Shen Tianwen saw Chen Su's appearance, and knew that he was not an opponent, "At a young age, you can go through three moves under me, you are not bad, but I only used one percent of my strength just now, so it is still the same sentence, hand over the thousand-year-old ginseng, today's matter, forget it." ”
Phew, Chen Su snorted softly, "What kind of ability is a sneak attack?" Although he knew in his heart that even if Shen Tianwen was not a sneak attack, he should not be able to defeat him, but he was still unconvinced, and at this time he stared at the other party tightly, very careful and guarded.
"Oh, since that's the case, well, I'll give you another chance, one move, if I defeat you, give me a thousand-year ginseng, if I can't win, I won't mention this matter again, how about it?" Shen Tianwen offered a seemingly fair condition.
Chen Su smiled, "What a smart Young Master Shen, if you offer such conditions, you won't have anything to lose if you win or lose." ”
"Boy, the young master gave you such a big face, what else do you want?" Without waiting for Shen Tianwen to answer, several of the entourages who accompanied him opened their mouths first, but they no longer had the momentum they had when they besieged Chen Su before.
"Dogs fight people. Chen Su glanced at a few people, "My Aunt Rou just said that there is no thousand-year-old ginseng, no is nothing, and even if there is, we don't want to sell it, what can you do?"
"Su'er, there really isn't any ginseng. Yun Rou hurriedly explained, this matter is getting bigger and bigger, and she will eventually suffer, "Young Master Shen, I Yun Rou has been selling these medicinal herbs and mountain goods on behalf of several friends of my deceased husband, and most of the people who come and go in this street market also know that in the past few years, although countless medicinal materials have passed through my hands, there has never been the thousand-year-old ginseng you said. ”
"Aunt Rou, what's the use of you talking so much to this kind of person, they are clearly bullying people and unreasonable. ”
Shen Tianwen laughed, "It's useless to know how to talk too much, Chen Gongzi, do you dare to make a move against me?"
At this time, Chen Su had no choice but to turn his heart sideways and said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" and silently read in his heart, his father asked for forgiveness for the child's unfilial piety, and then closed his eyes, only to feel that his heart was clear, and he condensed the inner yuan according to his father's teaching.
