After taking a sip of wine, Mu Yuanyu sat down with a red face and sat opposite a few people who were already sitting cross-legged, and naturally asked, "Why do you insist on coming to Dadu?"

He has never had a special impression of the court, after all, he is a person in the rivers and lakes, and he does not have much sense of belonging to the court, coupled with Nie Chengfeng's matter, according to his speculation, nine times out of ten he will not be able to get rid of the court, so he will not have any heavy expectations for the court.

And Cheng Xiao and the others just gave him a good feeling, maybe because he drank a lot of wine, he felt that if Cheng Xiao and they were not from the court, maybe they could become very good friends, although they and Mu Yuan just met in Pingshui, but they gave Mu Yuan a feeling worthy of intersection, of course, the premise of all this is based on the fact that what they said must be true, which happens not to be doubted by Mu Yuan, after drinking and spitting out the truth, Mu Yuan did not see the slightest false emotion on their faces.

Cheng Xiao's face was covered with a layer of redness, I don't know if it was alcohol that was causing trouble, or because he belonged to the kind of person who was more shy, he looked up at the cloudless night sky, Cheng Xiao said softly: "Don't hide it from my brother, when our brothers were young, they were actually serious farmers, after all, our fathers were born in ordinary farming." ”

The four people beside Cheng Xiao also nodded in agreement.

"I understand!"

Mu Yuan nodded yes, after all, the geniuses in this world are one in a million, and the reason why many people start from the bottom is that in addition to their own reasons, they are more stuck on the starting threshold, everyone has the right to choose the path they want to take in the future, but no one can choose their own birth, except for a few geniuses who have their own ideas, more people are sticking to the rules all their lives, working hard in his birth environment, and only hope that their lives can be better than the people around them.

This truth is actually very simple, the so-called son inherits the father's business, not just a simple slogan, more is the environment to create development space, people born in agriculture, under normal circumstances, playing small means farming as a companion, rarely have the opportunity to contact other circles, and the children of the martial arts family, since childhood will raise a sword to practice martial arts, the principle they uphold, it has become who has the big fist who has the final say, therefore, they often choose to raise a sword duel when encountering problems, relatively speaking, the children of the eunuchs are more agile and sleek, because they have been mixed in the rivers and lakes without swords and swords since they were children, and they learn more about how to behave and how to do things。

How easy is it to break free from the shackles of immutability?

Cheng Xiao took the wine jar in front of him again, raised the altar and took a sip, and continued: " Later, it was also by chance, I went to a city near our Zhuangzi, in the teahouse there, I heard that Mr. Storyteller told a story, it is about a person from a cloth cloth to the story of a hero admired by everyone, I listened to it in the teahouse for an afternoon, the same repeated several times, after listening, I particularly admired that person, can from a white clothes, through their own efforts, to get everyone's recognition and love, after returning to Zhuangzi, I will think about this when there is nothing to do, he is like a string in my head, urging me to have a lot of ideas that I never dared to have before。

So, after a period of tormented thinking, I made up my mind to go out for a walk. Break through, because I was also young and frivolous at the time, I always felt that I didn't lose to anyone, and I always felt that I would be able to break out of a certain fame, even if I couldn't break into a famous hall, I could come back to do my old business in the future, at least I worked hard, and I didn't regret it, so I told the same story and my own ideas to a few of them who were familiar with me, and after listening to them, they were directly impressed by that person's demeanor, and even imagined that one day we would be able to be like him, happy rivers and lakes。 ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Xiao smiled self-deprecatingly and continued: " However, no matter how happy the ideal is, it will always be defeated by reality, and even the wanton body is incomplete, since our brothers came out of the Zhuangzi, wandering, wandering, starting from the small city adjacent to the village, starting from the lowest level of miscellaneous labor, while working for others to support themselves, while everywhere to learn the arts, but at the beginning in addition to a body of brute force, there is no other skill, in that era of war and chaos, it is not easy to make a living, sometimes there is no work for several days, so it is common to not give food, we can only save food, all day long in a state of half full and half hungry, rarely a meal is full。

However, even so, occasionally we will encounter a situation where we will not be able to help with life for more than half a month, or a whole month, most of that time, we will close ourselves off, in addition to finding odd jobs every day, that is to force ourselves to sleep, probably only when I fall asleep will I not feel hungry, now in retrospect, that kind of hungry days, even I don't know how I persevered in the beginning, but I think it was probably the belief that we wanted to get ahead and become a master, so that we worked together to get through that period of hardship。 ”

The four people around Cheng Xiao all lowered their heads and were silent, the atmosphere was dull and depressing, Cheng Xiao smiled more and more bitterly, his eyes flashed with crystal tears, and in the jar in his hand, less than one-third of the best daughter Hong was left, and half of the two-thirds of what he drank went into his throat.

From the mellow and sweet wine, he experienced a life full of thorns and bumps.

Mu Yuan didn't interrupt him, just listened to him quietly, he could hear the vicissitudes of life they had experienced from Cheng Xiao's words, and realized the confusion and unwillingness they had faced when they faced everything, in comparison, he himself was much luckier than them, from the beginning, he was with the right person, so he didn't need to repeat and simulate those struggling years.

"Come, brother, I respect you!"

Cheng Xiao stretched out his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, and raised the wine jar in his hand to his chest with both hands, facing Mu Yuan.

Mu Yuan lifted the altar and lightly touched the jar in his hand, with a complicated expression.

"Gollum!"

Cheng Xiao directly held the wine jar and drank heavily, and said: "Brother, do you know, at that time, in that situation, sometimes even I felt that I was going to die soon, but looking back at the brothers behind me, I had to grit my teeth and try to keep myself alive, because they were all brought out by me, and they gave me trust at the cost of my life, I can't let them down, let alone let them go away with hatred in vain, this is the duty entrusted to me by my brothers, it is more important than my life." ”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, his face became redder and redder, and even his voice was sobbing slightly.

The others were listening quietly, their eyes all red, and they were convinced.

Mu Yuan was in awe, and said sincerely: "You did it, so you are great, really great, you know?"

Cheng Xiao shook his head and said: "No, brother, you are wrong, it is not me who is great, but the wise man in my heart, my faith, it is he who saved me, saved my brothers, mourning is greater than heart death, whenever we are in despair, it is he who gives us faith and resurrects our hearts." ”

Mu Yuan looked suspicious and said, "Your faith?"

Cheng Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, he is not only my faith, but also the faith in the hearts of all our brothers." ”

"Oh?"

Mu Yuan suddenly became interested, and asked with a frown: "Is that the person you heard in the teahouse you talked about before?"

A person who can change even the will of mortals is indeed Zhixian, Cheng Xiao After all, they had limited contact circles at that time, if he wanted to say that there was a particularly respected candidate in his mind, except for the person he heard in the teahouse he mentioned before, Mu Yuan couldn't think of any other people.

"Not bad!"

Cheng Xiao nodded and said: "Later, I learned that he is not only famous in our corner of the horn, but also in the entire rivers and lakes, no one admires him, by the way, I think with his well-known reputation, my brother must have heard of him." ”

Mu Yuan raised the corners of his eyebrows, put down the wine jar in his hand, and said, "Tell me about it?"

He is really more and more interested in this person whom Cheng Xiao admires, although he doesn't know if he is really as powerful as Cheng Xiao described, but he must not be a person who does nothing, maybe he really knows or heard of him.

Although Mu Yuan has always lived in the top circles of the rivers and lakes, he has never looked at anyone, just like he has never been arrogant, because he knows very well that in this world, although there are very few truly all-round geniuses, there has never been a shortage of geniuses in various fields, some of them are scheming, some are good at strategy, some are good at astronomy, some are familiar with geography, some are immersed in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and some are drunk in martial arts.

You should know: "Three hundred and sixty lines, the line is the champion." ”
