The young man struggled to stand up, knelt heavily on the ground with all his strength, and kowtowed to the old man: "Thank you for the life-saving grace of the seniors, the younger generations will never forget this life." ”

The young man lay quietly on the ground like this, the old man shook his head, took a sip of wine, and carefully tasted the cheap wine for twenty yuan a pot, and it was not a taste in his mouth, "What do you mean?"

The young man's expression was grim, "I want to live, I want to practice martial arts, and I want revenge." ”

The burly old man said in a deep voice: "You are now lost and depressed, you are still young, and you will talk about revenge later, you must not be carried away by hatred, I am not a master, but a bad old man, saving you is just a moment of compassion, your mother stuffed you in my hands, and she decided to die." I was originally a greedy person who was afraid of death, and when I saw your mother's eyes expecting you to live, the bad old man was dizzy for a while and saved you. I was also afraid that if someone chased and killed me, I would abandon you and let them take you away, but fortunately we walked on a remote path along the way, and we didn't meet anyone chasing you. I don't have much ability, old man, so I can only take you to my house along the way, the town I live in is small and remote, so I want to take you to live there first, and as for the future, I will take a step by step. You lie on the ground and don't get up, just hoping that I will take you as an apprentice, but the old man has no ability and can't teach you anything, so I really can't agree to you hastily. You come with me to the town for a while, and if you decide to stay in the town, you stay, and if you decide you want to go out and look for an opportunity, you go. What do you think?"

The young man slowly straightened up, and suddenly burst into tears, and the emotions that had been hidden for more than 20 days burst out like the Yellow River bursting its banks, which reminded people that the young man was only eight years old.

The old man gently stroked the young man's head and said softly: "My surname is Bai, you will call me Lao Bai in the future, what is your name?"

"Xu Tianran. Double Xu, born natural and natural. ”

The old man took another big sip of wine: "Good name." ”

The young man secretly made up his mind, his mother said that he wanted to live well, and naturally listened to his mother's words the most, and he would definitely live well.

The young man's eyes drifted to the fish soup sprinkled on the ground, the old man squatted down, and served another bowl of fish soup to the young man, who grabbed the broken wooden bowl and ate the fish soup in a big gulp, while grinning his teeth.

The old man gently stroked the young man's head: "Drink it slowly, there are still a lot of them in the pot." ”

The boy drank the salty fish soup with tears and nodded slightly.

The old man Bai carried the young man to the scrawny inferior horse, and the originally listless thin horse sat on the back, and suddenly became restless, as if the arrogant aristocratic dignity had been violated, he put on a duel posture, ready to immediately throw the young man to the edge of the sky.

Old man Bai glared at the thin horse, and then said gently: "Ah Huang, be obedient." ”

The thin horse immediately quieted down, obediently carrying the strange boy, and walked on the way home, under the afterglow of the sunset, the shadow of the boy and the thin horse was stretched extremely long, and the burly old man looked more burly.

The young man who had unloaded his guard finally looked like a young man, touching Ah Huang's neck or stroking Ah Huang's yellow hair from time to time, or impatiently asked the old man Bai: "Lao Bai, how long will it take for us to get to your house? Why haven't we arrived here after more than a month? My ass is about to be punctured by Ah Huang's bones." ”

Lao Bai always likes to take off the gourd on his waist before speaking, and he seems to have a little master demeanor, drinking a small gourd wine that can't be drunk for a month, "It's almost there." Sure enough, young people's time is slow, and they always like time to be faster, unlike me, a bad old man, who wishes that time would be slower and everything slower. ”

The young man pursed his lips, greeted the warm sunshine, waved his sleeves, and sure enough, his clothes were still good to wear, and then he thought of something and asked impatiently: "Lao Bai, have you married a daughter-in-law?" I see that your sloppy appearance will definitely not be able to marry a daughter-in-law, who can live with you blindly. Although you look good, and you seem to have read books for a few years, the most worthless person in the world is a reader. My mother said that the world is in chaos, the martial arts are in power, the warlords are divided, and the people are not happy. In the future, I will not be a scholar, but I will be a cultivator, and if I practice my skills, no one will be able to bully me, and I will be able to avenge my mother. ”

Lao Bai took off the silver-white wine gourd again, and took a sip of wine in a good manner: "There is nothing wrong with being a scholar, there must be a scholar in the chaos of the world, otherwise the martial arts will only kill and kill, and the people will suffer." You want to be that cultivator, and you can practice your skills like a god on the mountain, but you have to rely on the sky to eat, do you ask yourself if you have that Qingqi root bone and innate spiritual vein?"

The young man thought for a moment and continued to ask: "Lao Bai, you just want to cover up the embarrassment that you don't have a daughter-in-law, I can understand it, after all, you are not too young, and it is difficult to talk about not having a daughter-in-law." It's a big deal that when I get ahead in the future, I'll marry you a dozen or twenty little daughters-in-law of twenty or eight years old. Do you think it's okay?"

A trace of sadness flashed on Lao Bai's face, and he took another big sip of wine. Wine can forget worries, but it can't resist this little rabbit cub who has been hanging his sorrows in front of himself, and he can't hide from them.

The young man glanced at Lao Bai's depressed appearance, and said distressedly: "Lao Bai, don't pretend, your gourd wine has been drunk for more than a month, and even if you lick it in one bite, you will already lick it clean." I know you're poor, otherwise you wouldn't always give me steamed buns that are as hard as stones to eat along the way, but fortunately my mother gave me a good tooth, otherwise I would have starved to death on the side of the road. However, you also have to look at my newly lost front teeth, don't you know that I have just reached the age of changing my teeth? ”

After speaking, the young man didn't forget to open his mouth wide, accusing Lao Bai of always leaking wind when he spoke, it was not for nothing, it was all Lao Bai's harm.

After speaking, the young man was afraid that Lao Bai would be sad, and comforted: "Lao Bai, you are poor and poor, after all, you are a good person, I will not dislike you when you get to your house, you saved me such the number one smart person in the world is your blessing, in the future, I will come up with ideas and you will make efforts, let's live our lives, and ensure that our family will be the richest family within a radius of 100 miles in less than three years." When the time comes, I will find you a few warm quilts for a little lady with big breasts to ensure that you are happy like a fairy. ”

Lao Bai seemed to miss the young man who followed him without saying a word at the beginning, and under the comfort of the young man, Lao Bai felt that his heart was very blocked. Ah Huang flicked his tail happily when he saw Lao Bai's deflated appearance.

The young man pondered for a moment, and then said, "Old Bai, you are very old, it is better to please a girl." ”

Ah Huang's tail draws a graceful arc, and he looks in a good mood.

The corners of Lao Bai's mouth twitched slightly, "Little cub, you still don't talk to be more likeable, and when you speak, you are so annoying? Who taught you all this belly talk." ”

A trace of sadness flashed in the young man's eyes, and then he disappeared again, and said in a tone of nonchalance: "It's all taught by my mother." My mother taught me to be kind to others, to think more about others, and to do what you don't want to do to others, which seems to be such a saying, so I care about you all the way and think about you. You said that if my mother knew that I was so sensible, would she feel more at ease. ”

Where ordinary people can't see, the young man's eyes dimmed, and a gust of wind blew out from the young man, Ah Huang was so frightened that he trembled, Lao Bai didn't realize it at all, it was a burst of killing intent, and he was cold to the heart.

Out of sight, a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of Lao Bai's mouth.
