Volume 1: The Body of Darkness Chapter 1: Mad Dog
"Ahem, ahem. Suddenly, there was a choking cough in the room.
Yu Rao didn't have to guess to know that it was his damn dad smoking in the house again. He didn't understand why his father was holding his half-human-tall and more than one-meter-long smoking gun. When the cigarette gun was raised, the whole room was filled with a pale white mist, making it look like a mythical fairy palace.
Several times when he was a child, Yu Rao felt that he was about to choke to death by this cigarette. Thanks to his own hard life, he didn't die. If he died, Daddy would probably laugh out loud - finally one less burden.
By the way, Yu Rao's father is also surnamed Yu and is called Yu Xiao. Sometimes, Yu Rao feels that his father may not be surnamed Yu, but may be surnamed Zhang, Li, or Lao Wang next door, anyway, he is not like his biological son.
When he was a child, Yu Rao secretly collected his father's blood, and came to a blood confession, but he never thought that the blood would be fused together. Despite his reluctance, he is indeed the son of Yu Xiao.
Is it a shame to be the son of Yu Xiao?
Lose face.
In the entire city of Pingyang, the most powerful is called the Three Tigers of Pingyang, which refers to three families: the Lin family, the Song family and the Jia family.
Yes, it is the Jia family who is so rich that "white jade is a horse for gold, and pearls are like earth and gold like iron".
These don't seem to have anything to do with Yu Xiao, but what I want to say is that Yu Xiao's home is only the size of a toilet in Jia's family.
Looking at the entire Pingyang City, the Yu family said that it was second (naturally the second-to-last), and absolutely no one dared to call it the first.
Poor, it can be regarded as poor to a certain level.
However, Yu Xiao is not an unemployed vagrant, his superb carpentry skills are staggering, and he once carved a flying dragon that can only be used in the main palace of the imperial court. The dragon is so lifelike that anyone who sees it will give a thumbs up again and again, but this dragon has not been placed for three days, and it was smashed by the officials of Pingyang City, and at the end he left a sentence, "If it weren't for the fact that you still have a son to raise, I will arrest you and put you in prison." ”
It turned out that carving the dragon without permission violated the great taboo of the martial country - no respect for the elders.
Whoever is the elder, the emperor is the elder!
Yu Xiao laughed after hearing this, and mocked: "If the emperor doesn't give birth to you and doesn't raise you, what kind of honorable elder is it?"
The unlucky Yu Xiao was immediately dragged and beaten half to death......
From then on, those who made carpenter's planers, measuring sticks...... All of them were put in the corner and dusted, and the life of the Yu family was getting more and more difficult.
"Father, I beg you. ”
One day, Yu Rao saw his father dozing off there with a big smoking gun, and walked over quietly, he really wanted to slap his father in the face, but in the end he still didn't have the guts, just hugged his trouser legs and shouted repeatedly,
"Father, I beg you. ”
Yu Xiao was half frightened to death, thinking that his good son was crazy, and hurriedly touched his head. But in the end, I found that my son was normal.
"What are you asking for?" Yu Xiao asked in a cold voice, ready to refuse.
"I want to ask my father to return to his old business and make this family like a home!"
"Don't think about it, I'll never be a carpenter again in my life. ”
"Why?"
"I don't like it. ”
Yu Rao's mind immediately popped up with the word "willful".
He felt that he was willful, but he didn't expect that his damn father was more willful than him, and he actually sent himself away with a "I don't like it".
Seeing that his father fell asleep again, Yu Rao knew that he had to drink the northwest wind again tonight.
Try your luck on the streets, and you may meet some kind girl, or blind old lady, who will have the supper in their pockets.
Yu Rao naturally won't rob it, firstly, he doesn't have that ability, and secondly, he can't do such a hurtful thing. He just followed the example of the little beggar, put his hand out, and shouted a few more times, and the people put the silver in his hand.
This day, in one word, cold.
At noon, the sun was too hot to be hot, but at night it was surprisingly cold. When Yu Rao went out, he only wore a thin coarse shirt, thinking that he could get money for food before dark, but he never expected that the moon was about to come out, and he didn't get a steel hammer.
I heard that the war in Wuguo is getting tighter and tighter, and the military rations are not enough, is it possible that it has also affected the remote Pingyang City?
In this case, I will not have a good time in the future.
"Miss. ”
Yu Rao saw a fair-skinned and beautiful girl walking out of the alley, and knew that she was the daughter of a big family, so he quickly stretched out his hand and called "Miss, Miss" repeatedly.
Usually those rich ladies will naturally understand and throw the money in Yu Rao's hands, and then Yu Rao will raise his hand a few points and touch the hands of those pretty girls.
Originally, Yu Rao only asked for money, regardless of touching his hands, but one day, Yu Rao heard Song Meiyu's guy in the academy say that girls' hands are like nephrite, the more they touch, the more comfortable they are, and the more they touch, the happier they are......
As for who Song Meiyu is, it will naturally be introduced later.
Since Yu Rao listened to Song Meiyu's words, his heart was itching, and he took an opportunity to touch a girl's hand, the girl didn't look at Yu Rao, and quickly bowed her head and left.
Yu Rao also summed up his experience, when touching other people's hands, his eyes must not stare at her, otherwise if he has a hot temper, he will directly slap you, even if he is not hot, he will have to look at you......
Haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you ever seen a pig run?
The next time Song Meiyu talked in the academy again, Yu Rao's face would no longer have any throbbing......
However, Song Meiyu said again that different girls' hands have different feelings.
Yu Rao admitted this, and those beautiful girls also had their hands as if they were smeared with honey......
Yu Rao thought that the rich lady would give her a lot of money, but she didn't expect her to dig it out and only take out one. A sub, that is, the money of a bun.
"Stop!"
The boredom of the day made Yu Rao feel very bad. He straightened up, stopped the girl, and looked at her in a daze.
The girl was immediately stunned, and replied tremblingly, "You...... What do you want to do?"
Yu Rao threw the steel hammer on the ground and scolded: "What about the one you sent to ask for food?
The girl was stunned and replied, "You...... Didn't you ask for food?"
Only then did Yu Rao realize that he was indeed a begging for food. I don't know when I started to beg for food.
If you think about it, it's the second year that my father quit his job.
Yu Rao laughed stupidly: "Miss, you can give a little more." ”
"Psycho!" the young lady glared at Yu Rao and hurriedly walked away. On the empty streets, only Yu Rao was left alone.
It's a dark place, but not far away, there are a series of restaurants. When the guests were full, they poked chopsticks into their mouths and shaved their teeth...... Then to the next guest, who also poked chopsticks into his mouth.
Therefore, guests always complain, "Why does the tip of this chopstick always look like a mouse has gnawed?" "I don't know that they gnawed it themselves.
Yu Rao didn't plan to try his luck there, because those people wouldn't give themselves a son at all, and their money was all spent on the woman they held in their arms.
Sometimes when they came out, they still held uneaten pig bones in their greasy hands, and Yu Rao thought that they might throw them to themselves, but he didn't think about it, so he threw them to the dog on the side of the road.
The dog ate the pig's bones and bit its tail at them, and they laughed more and more happily.
They sometimes taunted Yu Rao: "Look at that child, live like a dog." ”
Yu Rao smiled bitterly, feeling that he was not even as good as a dog, and the dog was still happily eating pig bones and wagging its tail, what about himself?
Woohoo.
Yu Rao followed the dog's example and barked a few times.
No one knew why he suddenly called out, and Yu Rao himself didn't know.
The people around him let out disdainful laughter.
According to my analysis: first, Yu Rao is definitely not for money, because as mentioned above, it is impossible for them to give Yu Rao money;
Second, Yu Rao definitely doesn't want to make them happy, because Yu Rao hates them;
Three, and most likely, Yu Rao feels like a dog, but not the kind of dog with a wagging tail.
There are also two kinds of dogs: one is the domestic dog that wagging its tail to make people happy, and the other is the wild dog that roars the sky and the earth, this kind of dog, everyone also calls it mad dog.
Yu Rao didn't want to die in a fight, so he got a nickname, also called Mad Dog.
I was hungry for a day, cooing for a day, and finally stopped screaming. Yu Rao was a little scared, would his life be like this belly one day, and suddenly stop screaming.
Life, how fragile.
Yu Rao had seen his neighbor with his own eyes, a man in his forties, with one arm as wide as Yu Rao's entire body. Others drink water with a bowl, he drinks water directly with a wooden barrel, but still drinks the feeling of oral liquid.
Just such a person, one day suddenly died next to the well, with only one wound on his body, right in the throat.
He came and said that he had been killed by a swordsman.
Yu Rao asked why?
It is said that only a swordsman in the world can defeat the enemy with one move and seal his throat with a sword.
At that time, Yu Rao knew how fragile life was, and the swordsman seemed to stand on the opposite side of life.
Yu Rao once found that his father got up in the middle of the night, taking advantage of the moonlight, carving a small wooden sword, only the length of a little thumb......
Wooden sword.
This incident once became a shadow in Yu Rao's heart, because Yu Rao was afraid that his father would not change his life, and then he would have to be arrested by the official for the charge of "disrespecting the elder".
"Father, what are you carving at night?"
Yu Xiao glanced at him lightly, "Your mother." ”
Yu Rao only knew at this time that the wooden sword was a token of love given to his mother by his father.
Her mother's body was buried in the soil and turned into mud, let alone this wooden sword?
This wooden sword was also covered with a layer of dust, and the edges and corners were smoothed, and Yu Xiao took it out, which was to coat it with a film and repair it.
However, Yu Rao didn't believe how much his father loved his mother, and Yu Rao thought that if his father really loved his mother, his mother would not die tragically.
Yu Rao clearly remembered that he was about two years old, his mother was lying in front of him and his father, and he died in the same way as the strong man in his neighborhood, and he also had a dazzling sword on his neck, and a sword sealed his throat.
The memory is too far away, and Yu Rao doesn't know why he didn't remember his mother's appearance, but only remembered the dazzling sword around her neck.
The sensitivity to the sword has always run through Yu Rao's life. No matter what others say or do, as long as the sword is mentioned, Yu Rao will walk over and take a look anyway.
It was completely dark, and those who laughed at him, Yu Rao wanted to kill them with a sword, just like the way the strong man of the neighbor died, and died without knowing it, so that no one knew that he had done it.
Yu Rao thought of this, and his heart was a little scared.
......
Yu Rao looked at the rich businessmen's way home, all the way was full of lights, very bright, and it was inconvenient to do anything; and then looked at his own way home, because he lived in the poor area of Pingyang City, every household turned off the lights early in the morning, and it was dark.
Jealousy, jealousy burned in Yu Rao's heart.
- The Buddha said that all are created equal, which is bullshit.
He was about eight years old that year, and Yu Rao remembered that a big monk wore a tattered Lala, walked to the door of his house, and said something vaguely to his father, and then, the big monk actually walked to him and asked: "Little donor, I see that you have a relationship with Buddhism, are you willing to go west with me." ”
Yu Rao looked at the clothes on his body, and then looked at the clothes on his body, oh my God, he was not even as good as himself, what kind of Buddha, he couldn't cross himself, and he crossed others?
Yu Rao shook his head and replied, "When your clothes are not torn, come back to me." ”
"Hahaha. After hearing a hearty laugh, the great monk actually disappeared into thin air.
Later, Yu Rao never saw the great monk again, but by chance, he saw the appearance of the great monk again on the wall painting of the Ask Academy.
The great monk in the painting looks much more energetic, and he has also changed into a gorgeous dress with gold thread.
Yu Rao asked his classmates who he was?
The classmates laughed and laughed shallowly, even he didn't know that this great monk was a sage of Buddhism, ranked sixth, called the sixth ancestor, named Huizong, and known as the sixth ancestor Huizong in history.
That was the first time Yu Rao saw the immortals in this heaven and earth, but he didn't expect to miss it in vain. If there is a chance to come again, Yu Rao must ask the six ancestors of Huizong to dress decently and come over.
......
Without eating, there was no strength, Yu Rao walked like a little girl, twisting and pinching, a drunk man really regarded Yu Rao as a little girl, held him in his arms, and prepared to fight to go to prison and be comfortable for this night.
Comfortable for a night, sit in prison.
Unexpectedly, the pants were taken off, and it was Yu Rao at first glance!
Made, hell!
The drunken man ran away.
Running and running, Yu Rao saw him fall to the ground with a thud.
It stands to reason that Yu Rao won't care about him, but Yu Rao walked past him, and saw that he hadn't moved for a long time, and his feet seemed to have stepped on the water, slimy, so he lowered his head and shouted: "Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
There was silence all around, no response.
Take a closer look, good fellow, with a sword on his neck and a sword to seal his throat.
The uncle has become a dead man, but his body is still hot.
What a quick sword......
