"Ninth sister, you will always be my own ninth sister!" After hearing this, Shen Qiubao lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then raised his head again and said firmly, "When I grow up, I will save you a lot of dowry! No one dares to bully you!"

In Niutouao Village, if the parents are gone, then as a brother, he has the obligation and right to marry his sisters. At this moment, Shen Qiubao's thoughts are very simple: the eldest sister has a miserable background and has suffered so many losses, he is very heartbroken for the eldest sister. Father and mother are gone, and in the future, he will be doubly good to his eldest sister.

The firelight reflected Shen Jiumei's little face flushed, and her eyes were shining. She was slightly stunned, and immediately, "flutter" covered her mouth and smiled: "Fool, of course I will always be your ninth sister!" Tears almost came out of her eyes, she hurriedly hugged the person in her arms, and whispered, "I am so good to you, if you treat me badly in the future, see if I don't peel off your skin!"

I'm sorry, Qiubao. She apologized over and over again in her heart.

said that she would be Qiu Bao's "eternal ninth sister", but she couldn't accompany Qiu Bao anymore.

Because of her confusion and conceit, they fell for the little monkey and lost all their money in one fell swoop.

Without this money, Qiu Bao would have lost the opportunity to apply for the Qingyun Martial Arts Hall. It was her fault, an unforgivable fault.

Now, with only three big sums left in their net worth, how can they make a living in the county seat? Just now, Qiu Bao went out to look for firewood, and she meditated in the cave to think about the way to hate money. In the end, she sadly found that because they couldn't get a guarantee, they didn't have any way to make money.

When the last three big sums are also used up, they will be reduced to beggars, in the same situation as those who live in the temple of the City God.

Will they also live by begging and doing bad things like the little monkey and others in the future?

No! She must not take Qiu Bao on such a road! Her father and mother hope that Qiu Bao can stand up to the heavens and the earth, walk rightly, and sit upright! As the eldest sister, she must not take Qiu Bao badly.

After thinking about it, she found that there was only one way in front of her, that is, to sell herself into slavery.

At the town's bazaar, she had seen people selling their sons and daughters in exchange for money. A girl of her age is not bad-looking, and if she is lucky, she can sell it for a lot of money.

She made up her mind, and when the day came, she went to the market to sell herself. If there is a warrior willing to buy her, that's the best. She was willing to sign the death deed without a penny, and only begged the buyer to give Qiu Bao a guarantee and recommend him to apply for an apprenticeship in the Qingyun Martial Arts Pavilion.

Therefore, in the future, she can no longer accompany Qiu Bao.

Qiu Bao, you must be good. Shen Jiumei held back her tears, hugged her younger brother, and once again silently blessed her in her heart.

Because there was a fire in the cave and a tree branch blocking the entrance of the cave, the wild dogs barked unwillingly outside the cave and left one after another.

The outside is finally clear.

Shen Jiumei made up her mind, but because she was injured, she couldn't hold it anymore, so she yawned and added a large branch to the fire, and said vaguely: "Sleep." Tomorrow, we will ask someone for directions......" Before the words were finished, the man was already crooked by the fire, and fell into a deep sleep.

Shen Qiubao lay beside her obediently, but she couldn't sleep. In the past, he had never had a heart. Every night, he fell asleep with his head next to the pillow.

However, after going through so much, he can't help but think about some things before going to bed every day, namely, what happened today, what did I do well and what did not do right, what will I do tomorrow, what should I do?

Thinking back to the day, he only felt hatred rising in his heart.

He hates it!

I hate the little monkey who pushed the eldest sister down the mountain and fell all over her body!

I also hated him for ruthlessly taking away all the money of their sister and brother!

No, it's not just all the money, it's their last chance of survival!

However, he couldn't help the little monkey.

knew that the little monkey had harmed the eldest sister, but when this guy came to rob the money, he could only obediently tell him where the money was buried. Just like in Niutouao Village, he knew that it was the immortal rune soldiers who slaughtered the village, but he could only hide in the mountains and watch.

Why can't he take revenge in the face of these bad guys?

Just because he's too weak!

If he is more powerful than the Immortal Fu Soldiers, then he will definitely be able to keep the village and his family!

If he is a junior martial artist like Lord Miaogong, then, in front of him, the little monkey can definitely only be a good dog wagging his tail and begging for mercy!

"It's all useless to me!" he slammed his fist into hatred.

At this moment, he hated himself like never before, hated himself for being too weak.

He couldn't bear to be so weak. He's going to get stronger!

How can I get stronger?

Now, he has missed the only time in his life to choose a fairy child, so there is only one way to learn martial arts in front of him.

Learn martial arts!

Yes, he must go to the Qingyun Martial Arts Hall to learn martial arts! Participate in the martial arts test and become a strong man like the temple lord!

Thinking about this, he had a headache: without money and insurance, how could he apply for the Qingyun Martial Arts Pavilion?

How can I make money?

In the flash of light, he understood why the little monkey had gone to great lengths to snatch their money—it must have been to scrape together enough money, and ask the Miaogong to write a guarantee! Because in Shixiu County, even if the untouchables go up the mountain to collect firewood and sell it, they must first have a guarantee.

So, the problem seems to be back - at the moment, the first thing he has to do is to ask the warrior to keep the strip!

However, no one will write a warranty for free.

He has no money, and he can't make money......

In the county, this seems to be a problem that will never be solved.

Lying beside the fire, Shen Qiubao almost scratched his head, and finally realized: Shixiu County, their sister and brother can't stay anymore.

If they continue to stay here, if he and the ninth sister want to live, they can only be bad people like the little monkey.

However, he instinctively did not want to - when his father and mother were alive, he always taught him not to do bad things, not to be a bad person; even if his family was ruined and the day was in danger, the eldest sister repeatedly warned him to remember his father's teachings and be a mountain man who stood up to the sky and the earth.

can't be a bad guy, it's already like a brand, deeply seared into his bones.

Thinking of his father, grandmother, and Uncle Hong, Shen Qiubao gradually had an idea in his heart: leave Shixiu County first.

Dad said that the mountains are full of treasures.

In the morning market outside the city gate, there is no need to guarantee the sale of mountain goods. He and his eldest sister can go to the mountains to hunt, look for mountain goods, and exchange them for money in the morning market, just like Uncle Hong and them.

"When I save enough money, I can go to the Qingyun Martial Arts Pavilion to learn martial arts. The frustration was gone, and the hope of revenge rose in Shen Qiubao's heart.

As a result, the boulder that had been pressing on his heart disappeared. Suddenly sleepy, he rolled over and fell into endless black sweetness.

The next morning, Shen Qiubao woke up laughing.

Last night, he had a good dream.

In his dream, he and his eldest sister went into the mountains every day to hunt and look for mountain goods. They caught a lot of hares and pheasants, and the mountain goods they found were piled up into small mountains, and they carried them to the morning market, and sold them for a lot of silver.

"Hahaha, I can finally learn martial arts!" he smiled from ear to ear, holding the silver of the white flowers.

Unfortunately, at this moment, the dream woke up.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself still lying in a small cave.

The fire has long been extinguished.

Shen Jiumei is still sleeping. She curled up in a ball, muttering something in her mouth.

Something seems wrong!

Shen Qiubao turned over and got up and leaned over.

Ah, the eldest sister's face was flushed, and there was a circle of blisters on her two lips!

"Water...... Water...... Mother, I want to drink water......" Shen Jiumei's voice was so hoarse that it seemed like a different person.

The ninth sister is sick!

Shen Qiubao's face turned pale with fright, and he quickly untied the small bamboo tube to feed the water.

However, as soon as his hand touched Shen Jiumei's face, he couldn't help but exclaim: "It's hot!

The ninth sister is having a fever!

This is something that has never happened before. In Shen Qiubao's memory, the eldest sister has always been alive and kicking, like a spring flower in the mountains, full of vitality.

The heart suddenly panicked.

He didn't know what to do.

"Ninth sister, wake up...... Ninth sister!" He was so anxious that tears rolled in his eyes.

"Water ......" Shen Jiumei did not wake up.

"Good. Drink. Shen Qiubao came back to his senses and hurriedly fed her water.

Last night, when they returned to the cave, it was completely dark, and they couldn't go out to find water. So, there is only a little bit of water left in the small bamboo tube.

Just this point of water failed to completely wet Shen Jiumei's lips.

"Water ......" Shen Jiumei's eyebrows furrowed, and she screamed softly in pain.

Shen Qiubao shook the small bamboo tube in his hand angrily.

Not a drop of water!

"Ninth sister, bear with me first! I'll fetch you water right away!" He untied the two bamboo tubes, one large and one small, from Shen Jiumei's waist, and quickly moved away from the big tree branch blocking the entrance of the cave.

After going out, he carefully re-blocked the hole with a tree branch - the eldest sister is now burned to a pulp. If someone or a wild beast runs in when he is out, can the eldest sister still be fine?

When he came out of the cave and looked around at the light morning mist, he couldn't help but be at a loss: where to find water?

At this time, he remembered that the little monkey had said yesterday that there was a water source in the back mountain.

I hope this guy hasn't broken his heart and isn't lying!

With a clenched fist, he flew towards the top of the mountain.
