Yang Quansheng sighed and began to tell his story to the three of them:

Seventeen years ago, my family lived in a small mountain village in the countryside of Yinan County, Wucheon County, Gangdong Province. Our village is more than 200 miles away from the county seat, very remote, the village is called Xiama Village, there are more than 200 households in the village, there is a small mountain river in the west of the village, our family lives in the north of the village, not far from the mountain river. When I was a child, I used to go down to the river with my friends to fish and go up the mountain to dig birds' nests.

We are a family of four, my father and my sister and me, my father's name is Yang Danian, he is a craftsman, his craftsmanship is very skillful, and he is very famous in Shili Eight Villages, so he supports his family by weaving some rice sieves, dustpans, vegetable baskets and other things.

My mother's name is He Yurong, and her mother's house is in the neighboring village, but there is no one in my mother's family anymore. My mother is very diligent, picking mulberry and silkworm weaving cloth every day, so our family's life is still passable. We are two brothers and sisters, I am four years older than my sister, and my sister's name is Yang Xiyu.

Since I was five years old, my father sent me to a private school in a neighboring village to read and write with a gentleman surnamed Fan, my father said, "Our Yang family ancestors eight generations combined, Dou Da can not read half a basket of words, not a single literate and hyphenation, if you can read and take the exam to show a show, you can shine on the lintel." ”

My talent is also quite good, every day with Mr. Fan to learn 300,000 literacy, and later taught four books, Mr. Fan is a civil and military talent, ancestral home is Guannei Dao, because of the conflict between writing for people and the local gentry, the gentry retaliated against him, forced him to beat the gentry violently, fled to Jiangdong Province to join friends, and later married a wife and had children to settle down in our neighboring village.

My teacher, Mr. Fan, taught us to learn literature, and later saw that I also had the qualifications to practice martial arts, so he secretly taught me some martial arts, I like martial arts far more than reading, to the age of twelve, reading barely okay, but martial arts already have six realms. In this year, my father had a strange illness, and I went to many doctors, but I couldn't cure it after taking a lot of medicine.

In order to treat my father's illness, the family's little savings were spent, and they borrowed a lot of money from relatives and friends, and even borrowed loan sharks, but in the end they still failed to save my father. My father held my mother's hand before he died, and wept silently, "Son, you follow me, you haven't been able to enjoy any blessings, but let my illness drag me down, I can't stand you! If there is a good family in the future, let you remarry!"

After saying this, my father died. My mother lay on his corpse and cried, "Daddy, I have been married for thirteen years, although our family does not have much money, but our husband and wife have a good relationship, and the small life is delicious, this life, old age, sickness and death are things that people have no way to do, you can rest assured to go, it will not be possible to remarry, I will guard these two children." ”

My dad left before he could say a last word to me, and at the age of twelve, I suddenly felt that the sky had fallen. I can't study anymore, I can't go down to the river with my friends to fish, and I can go up the mountain to dig birds' nests, and the burden of the family will be on my mother and me. I borrowed money from relatives and friends to pay it back slowly, but there was no way to do it with usury, so I went to work as a small long-term worker for the landlord's family, and my mother also weaved cloth day and night.

But there is still no way to repay those loan sharks, the eight-year-old sister was also robbed by those who lent money, and sold to the county squire Wang to be a maid, and my mother couldn't snatch my sister back when I cried and grabbed the ground, I heard the news and rushed back, but I couldn't snatch my sister back, and I was beaten up by those who lent money. However, when Niu Si, the lender who made the loan, was doing it with me, he found that I had good martial arts, so he paid attention.

I worked for the landlord's house during the day, and came back at night to continue my own study and martial arts. Not long after, Niu Si, who made a loan, came again, this time to find me alone, and talked to me secretly, if I go to give them a black fist, the money can be repaid slowly, and with the money, I can redeem my sister from Squire Wang's house, and he promises not to embarrass my mother again.

I listened to Niu Si's conditions, gritted my teeth, and agreed, because I really had no other way. I had to lie to my mother, I said that Niu Si introduced me to the city to work for people, and I would earn more money, but my mother couldn't, so she cried and let me go with Niu Si.

Before I started to fight black boxing, Niu Si introduced me to a person named Song Sanye, this Song Sanye has very high martial arts, he used to be a master of black boxing, and then after losing to a ranger from Liaodong Dao, he washed his hands and changed his career to become a martial artist, only teaching people how to fight black boxing.

Song Sanye taught me how to fight black boxing every day, I was thorough at one point, Song Sanye also praised me for my talent in martial arts, just like that, after three months of training, I began to fight black boxing career, at this time I was thirteen years old, and my martial arts have been five grades up, close to four grades.

In the first fight of Black Boxing, because I was soft-hearted and didn't kill the opponent who was knocked down, I was attacked by the opponent who fell to the ground, and the opponent turned defeat into victory. After I went back, I was severely repaired by Song Sanye and Niu Si with a leather whip, because I hurt them and lost money.

In the second battle, I learned a lesson, I will never be merciful again, I beat the opponent to vomit blood and faint and fall to the ground, Song Sanye and Niu Si won a lot of money, and they were so happy that they died. Since then, my path to black boxing has been out of control. Later, my mother still knew that I was going to fight black boxing, so she cried every day, and she was blind from crying.

When I was thirteen, I played seven, and when I was fourteen, I played fifteen, and every game was the winner, and I could get five taels of silver for each game. Playing black boxing is extremely cruel, there are no rules, only blood, and the people in the audience shouted excitedly and frantically, "Fight to the death!" The two people on the stage who didn't know each other had to fight for life and death, just for survival, for money, it was common to be killed and disabled, and I also had countless scars on my body.

In the cruel black fist career, my martial arts realm is also steadily improving, and at the age of fifteen, I am already a martial artist of the third grade. This year, I fought seventeen black boxing fights, and I won every time.

The money I earned from black boxing finally paid off the loan shark I owed to Niu Si, and I began to pay back the money of relatives and friends, and I could also let my blind mother eat at home, earn some more money, and maybe redeem my sister in the future.

Towards the end of the year, an uninvited guest named Yu Desheng came, and he invited me to Hongzhou County, Gangdong Province to fight a black boxing fight. However, Yu Desheng made a request, that is, I must lose to my opponent in this black boxing, that is, I have to fight fake boxing.

I originally refused, but the price Yu Desheng gave me was ten times that of usual, and as long as I lost this game, I could get fifty taels of silver. If I get these fifty taels of silver, I will be able to pay off all my debts, and I will be able to redeem my sister, and I will never have to fight black boxing again, so I agreed to him.

I followed Yu Desheng to Hongzhou County, the capital of Jiangdong Province, and fought the last black box. Something happened in the game, and of course I couldn't just play and lose to my opponent, it would be too fake and I would be chased and killed by the person who placed the bet. And my opponent is also very strong, when the two of us fought to the end, he was probably afraid of losing, and even violated the prior agreement and the rules of the game, and suddenly took out a knife to sneak attack, scratching the left side of my face.

In a fit of rage, I knocked them unconscious, kicked them off, I won the game, and then the nightmare began. After I got out of the arena, Yu Desheng took more than 40 people to chase and cut me, my martial arts are only three grades, Yu Desheng's martial arts are also three grades, and more than 40 people with force between the four and five grades, I have no chance of winning the fight, I can only flee in the wilderness.

However, I was not familiar with the terrain of Hongzhou, and was chased by this group of outlaws to the river, and there was no way out, so I either threw myself into the river or was beaten to death. But I don't want to choose either, if I die, what will happen to my mother, who has been blinded from crying? What about my sister who was sold to Squire Wang's house, who can redeem her?

I fought hard and knocked down a dozen or so people, but I was knocked to the ground by them, and I was about to be killed by this group of people. At that moment, I was so unwilling, but there was no way, I thought, this is fate, right? I closed my eyes and yelled, "Mother, only goodbye in the next life!"

At the last moment, a stone flew and interrupted the dagger that was supposed to be inserted into my heart, and a middle-aged couple who had come to the river to walk in the river rescued me and drove away the group of outlaws. When Yu Desheng fled, he said viciously, I will definitely kill your whole family! Later, the couple asked me why I was chased and killed, and I told them all the causes and consequences.

The man smiled and said to me, "My name is Tang Fulong, I am the national teacher of Dashang, I came to Jiangdong Road at the invitation of a friend this time, and I want to collect two guards by the way, I see that you are extraordinary, if you are interested, you can consider taking my house as a guard, you can take your mother to the national teacher's mansion together, there is always something to eat." ”

I was grateful to Tang Engong and his wife, and said that he was willing to go to the National Teacher's Mansion as a guard, so Engong gave me a waist card and twenty taels of silver, and asked me to go north to the National Teacher's Mansion immediately, and he would help me solve the affairs of my family. I went to the National Teacher's Mansion as a guard, practicing martial arts every day, and half a month later, sure enough, someone sent my mother and sister to the National Teacher's Mansion in a carriage.

My mother told me that Yu Desheng really brought a group of people to my house, ready to kill my mother, at this time, Engong arrived with people, beat Yu Desheng away, saved my mother, and went to Wang Squire's house to redeem my sister, and sent people to escort all the way to the capital National Teacher's Mansion. Later, Mr. and Mrs. Engong hired a famous doctor to cure my mother's eye disease.

Since then, my mother is in charge of the gatehouse of the National Teacher's Mansion, and I have become one of the four shadow guards of the National Teacher's Mansion, Engong gave me a secret book "Four Ming Spiritual Heart Sutra", after I practiced, I understood Engong's painstaking work, this "Four Ming Spiritual Heart Sutra" can improve the martial arts, and secondly, it can resolve the anger generated in my three-year black boxing career.

My mother told me that the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, and Tang Engong has a life-saving grace for our whole family, so we have to repay it even more. So, over the years, I followed Engong to go around to eliminate violence and peace, and did many good things that did not leave a name. Engong even asked me to follow the little master who traveled and was responsible for protecting his safety.
