He pushed the cart and walked slowly into the alley, turned left at the place of an old locust tree, and passed by a dusty house that had lived in this place for nearly seven years, and the neighbors on the left were all acquaintances, and it happened that the woman of the family came out with a package and shouted to him.

"Yunsheng, is it so early today?"

"Unlucky, I ran into a fight between the Jianghu people and knocked over my stove. By the way, Xu Erniang, I borrowed the scissors last time, I'll bring them to you later. ”

"No, no, let your little lady Tan use ......"

Pushed open the door of his yard and walked through a wall that was more gray than Xu Erniang's house. As he unloaded the contents of the cart, he shouted into the house, "I'm back." ”

The wife answered in the house, but did not come out.

He felt strange for a moment, packed up the cart, and went into the house. The wife was sitting on the edge of the bed, and there was a calf-high wooden bucket on the floor, and she stirred up a face towel from the bucket and wiped her face and feet again for her daughter, who was lying on the bed.

"Last night was fine, why did you get cold all of a sudden?" He anxiously took his daughter's hand, set the guan, inch, and ruler with three fingers, put on the pulse, and decided the pulse in a moment, and then opened his daughter's eyes and mouth, and said to his wife: "If I don't come back earlier, are you going to let Ah Yu stay up like this?"

She lowered her head, silently put the face towel into the wooden bucket, rubbed a few handfuls, and whispered, "There are only three hundred yuan at home." ”

He paused for a moment and asked, "Didn't I give you more than two hundred wen a few days ago?"

Her head lowered even more, "The slave took it to make clothes, it's about to be the New Year, and you can't let the officials and Ah Yu wear old clothes......"

He immediately felt like he had a big sore on his buttocks, and he said in a low voice: "Don't worry about money, you don't need to worry about it." You worry about this and that all day long...... If you want your family to know, won't you say that I, Ye Yunsheng, am a waste?"

She hurriedly shook her hand, fell to her knees in fear, and said in a crying voice: "Don't say that, how can a slave have such a thought, the slave just wants the officials not to worry about these things." ”

He felt even more bad when he saw her appearance, and a wave of disgust filled his whole body, not only for the wife who had lived together for seven years sitting in front of him, but also for everything around him, and even more so for himself as a person......

"You go clean up and heat up a bowl of ginger soup. He said softly, a little depressed. "I pushed Ah Yu blood through the palace, and it should be proper to sweat. ”

She walked out with the barrel in her arms, tears still stained on her face.

The daughter is only five years old, the child has a strong internal fire, and the meridians are tenacious, it is a good time to practice internal skills, but he has been hesitating, after all, he is a girl, and he is afraid that he will take the road of rivers and lakes after learning martial arts...... At this moment, he has mixed feelings in his heart, on the one hand, he wants to live in such an embarrassing state now, how can he talk about making his daughter carefree in the future? On the other hand, he thinks that he has no prospects, and when Ah Yu grows up, even if he learns martial arts, will he run out and tell others that her father is the "useless in the world" who was once "famous" on the rivers and lakes?

Different from the self-cultivation and qi cultivation in the morning, compared with the Shangqing School's original mental method "Xuanji Pure Root Formula", the "Bright Light Divine Guard" left by Lu Xian is much more delicate in the use of internal breath. After all, it was the first time to push blood for his five-year-old daughter, and he didn't dare to make a mistake.

Fortunately, the child's meridian toughness is excellent, and it is the age of meridian living bones, and it is extremely smooth to push the blood through the palace, and when he retracted the dantian with both hands, his wife happened to come with ginger soup.

"Look at her, I'll go out and do something. ”

He first went to the water tank in the courtyard to scoop a spoonful of water to drink, and then walked out of the house, all the way to Xiangrui Street, and walked to a house at the end of the street. The door of this house is closed, the outer wall is covered with maple vines, and there are a few sacks piled up in the corner, which look like garbage from other households.

He glanced left and right, and saw that there was no one nearby, so he jumped and fell gently into the courtyard.

He bowed his head to avoid the cobwebs, walked into the house, and then bypassed the scattered broken tables and crooked chairs, and slapped three times on the wall on the side, and a stone cave appeared at the innermost corner, and there was a faint light through, and when he walked over, he could see the stone steps leading to the bottom and the oil lamp hanging on the wall of the cave.

He walked into the cave and slapped three times on the stone wall on his left, and a stone slab popped out of the top to cover the hole.

Down about two zhang deep, is a space on the flat ground, built excellently, the ground is flat, although there are craggy on the stone wall, there are Taoist three clear, the clouds and mist are swirling, the mountains are rising, the meaning is mysterious. In this cave, there are tables and chairs, there is a wooden frame, there are tea pots and tea sets, and there is a stove next to the table, which is still burning, and the fan on the ground can be slightly winded to make a big fire and make a good pot of tea.

His gaze fell on the table, where there were three teacups, and in the middle of the table stood a brass pipe, the thickness of a chopstick, and he flicked his fingers on the brass pipe, but there was no sound, but the vibration went up to the bottom of the table—it was the copper pipe that went straight to the ground, and to another place in the underground, and to make a sound when he struck it here.

After a moment, the statue of "Lingbao Tianzun" suddenly turned around, revealing a door.

He walked through the door, behind the door was a narrow passage, he walked about a hundred steps in the passage, and he didn't feel a slight sigh in his heart: Is there really anyone who is so bad, it's useless to come here to find the Holy Hand Lao Li, and he can't go around this road to death?

There is only one person in this world who has opened the medical hall underground, and no one knows what his full name is, everyone calls him the Holy Hand Lao Li.

He has a rule.

Only treat people in the rivers and lakes.

And the charges are extremely high.

But he is extremely good, so no one thinks he is expensive.

Life, after all, is more important than money.

There is no mechanism at the entrance of the passage, but there is a plaque hanging on it, and the book has "Huangquan Medical Garden".

Walking inside, it is like walking into a medical hall, the strong smell of medicine comes to the nose, the counter is on the right, the chair for consultation is on the left, the wooden shelves on the walls on three sides, and the medicinal herbs are one by one.

Except for the capable characters on the rivers and lakes, no one knows that there is a medical hall under Chang'an City!

When he walked in, there was only a very young man inside, wearing a blue wide-sleeved straight shirt and a white Dongpo scarf on his head. Narrow face and short eyebrows, round eyes and thick nose, thin lips and mustache, not very pleasing, but not disliked.

He hesitated for a moment, hugged his fist, and called "Lao Li".

People who have not seen the Holy Hand Lao Li will never know - the Holy Hand Lao Li is certainly not an old man, he is only thirty this year.

"Ye Yunsheng, you have withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, what are you still coming to me for? You know the rules, I won't treat you. ”

"Not me. He hurriedly said, for fear that Lao Li would drive him out, although there was only one other party here, but there were organs and poisons everywhere...... But no one dares to make a mess here.

Lao Li looked at Ye Yunsheng, his round eyes looked extremely serious, perhaps because of the habit of being a doctor, because he had to pay full attention to even a simple conversation.

"I don't have much money right now, I want to ask...... How much do you have to take the baby out of the belly for the woman?"

He was still struggling at first, hesitating, ashamed, and letting go of his words, but he let go, and another emotion grew in his heart, which was not unfamiliar to him all these years, it was a deep boredom - tired of himself, tired of the world.

"Are you kidding me? Ye Yunsheng!" Lao Li's face turned red, he was extremely angry, stretched out a finger and hooked it, and said, "Don't you know that when I move like this, more than a dozen Meridian Soul Breaking Nails will shoot at you, and there will be overwhelming impermanence scattered spews out?

Ye Yunsheng hurriedly arched his hand and explained carefully. It is not easy to let a woman who is practicing martial arts lose the fetus in her womb, especially if she is a person like Zhang Qingzi, who has achieved internal success, it is even more difficult......

"Even if the woman you said has excellent internal strength, then let her own luck block the blood supply to the fetus, isn't it?" Lao Li looked at Ye Yunsheng, thinking that this person's skills were really fed to the dog, and he didn't even understand this bit of martial arts.

He immediately became embarrassed, but still said, "The main thing is not to cause too much movement, I know what you said, but in this way, this woman will have internal breath chaos, at least three or five days of rest, or more than ten days of breathing and breathing." ”

Lao Li finally figured it out, glared at him and asked, "Whose belly did you make bigger?" It can't be Zhang Qingzi, right?"

Ye Yunsheng sighed, "You say I have the guts, I can't be stabbed to death by Fang Zimo......'s sword? Tell me the number first......"

Lao Li shook his hand and five fingers twice.

Ye Yunsheng's face twitched, but he was helpless, just nodded.

Lao Li asked curiously, "How much silver do you have now?"

Ye Yunsheng turned around and left, and said in his mouth: "The medicine is ready, I will come and get it at any time." ”

The sun was dazzling outside, and he covered his face with his hands, thinking about how to get money, and the more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became......

There are only three hundred wen at home, but he has to prepare one hundred taels of silver, Zhang Qingzi's stomach will not wait for him to slowly raise money, and when it gets bigger, Fang Zimo knows, what will happen......

He didn't dare to think about it anymore.

I don't know how to get to Dongshi, I don't know how to get into the tea shop, I don't know how to spend three dollars to get a pot of coarse tea, he lowered his head and looked at the tea soup, but he wanted to drink in his heart.

Sitting on the west mountain at sunset, he walked out of the tea shop and looked up at the sky, the remnant clouds were like blood, like the sky in his memory.

He and Zhang Qingzi were on Shilipo outside Chang'an City, hugging together and looking at the sky, the beads of sweat between her hair fell on the corners of his lips, and the fragrance seemed to be close at hand.

Perhaps, Zhang Qingzi asked him to prepare silver, which was to punish him. Is it, she is also hating, and she is as angry as he is in his heart.

Hates all things in heaven and earth, and hates himself even more.

Useless in the world...... Heh, Ye Yunsheng.

I felt sorry for myself all the way, and when I got home, my wife had cooked the food, and my daughter was under the table, holding a cloth tiger in her hand. When he approached, he heard his daughter say, "You are not good, you can't eat soil, eating soil will hurt your stomach, you are obedient, I will give you meat later." ”

"Ah Yu, are you feeling better?"

"Daddy, you're back, I'm fine!"

Daughter Ye Yu looks like her mother, with big eyes, a straight nose, a small mouth slightly curved, sharp tiger teeth, and a very good-looking smile, her eyebrows are like Ye Yunsheng, thick and black, straight and stubborn.

After eating, Ye Yunsheng accompanied his daughter to play a game of tiger and daddy, and then told her the story of gods and monsters in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" to coax her to sleep.

His wife brought him a wooden bucket, poured hot water, he took off his shoes, put his feet into the wooden bucket, the hot water irritated his skin, and a warm current slowly flowed from the soles of his feet to his whole body......

"It's okay, the stove didn't break, but the pot handle was smashed, I cooked when the board was straightened, added an iron sheet, and changed a piece of cloth to wrap it, although you are not afraid of hot hands, but it is more comfortable to hold after all. ”

The father-in-law is an ironworker, his wife has understood these since she was a child, and her craftsmanship is not bad, the furniture at home can be repaired, and the needlework is also very good...... But she is not from the rivers and lakes.

He listened to his wife's chatter, let her dry his feet, took off his coat, threw himself on his chair, and was about to lie down when he heard a breaking wind—almost instinctively, and he pinched a pointed stone with his hand.

"What, what's going on?" the wife watched in hindsight, stunned, and couldn't figure out what was going on.

His eyes sharpened suddenly, looking out of the black hole, and stopped his wife, who was about to close the door—another stone flew in, the direction unchanged, and he also pinched it.

"You sleep with Ah Yu. I'm going out for a trip. ”

"Nothing, right?"

He looked back at his wife, and thought to himself that if I didn't go out, I wouldn't be able to do it, and if I threw a few more pieces in, how would you still sleep. People have come to the door, where can they hide? But he said very calmly: "Don't worry, there will be nothing." ”

The night is like water, the sky is full of stars, and the cold moon is bent, but it is a good night. The alley seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of silver light, and five big men stood at the mouth of the alley, looking at him silently.

After thinking about it, he decided not to go back to get the sword, for fear of scaring his wife, and even more afraid of bringing the sword, and finally making a mess.

The alley that comes out of the courtyard of his house has no extra forks, and it leads about 200 steps to Fukang Street, which is Dongshi to the east and the city to the south. There are twelve households in the alley, and the outer walls of the houses on both sides are connected into alleys, which are scattered in between, with green tile and stone walls, and three steps apart.

When he walked to the entrance of the alley and faced each other, he had guessed earlier that it was a person from the scattered door who was fighting during the day, and he really expected it.

None of the five men had long weapons, except for a wrist-splitting knife pinned to the waist at the outermost point......

The man who stood up was the one who knocked over his stove during the day and asked him for help. Now he is dressed in black, with short pants, fast boots, and narrow sleeves...... He sighed in his heart, why should he be so "useless in the world" to deal with him?

The man from the scattered door hugged his fists and said calmly: "A certain is the scattered door broken sky stone Lin Hao, please ask your Excellency's name." ”

He hung his hands and did not clench his fists, but said: "The villain is not a person in the rivers and lakes, and he has no name." ”

Lin Hao said angrily: "Phew! You don't want to give face, you obviously have internal strength, how dare you say that you are not from the rivers and lakes! ”

He didn't have time to explain, so he heard another person on the other side say: "Brother Lin, beat this guy first, and give a few suffering brothers a bad breath." ”

I saw Lin Hao shouting, and his palms were pushed out.

He instantly found a few moves in his mind, these moves were not complete, they were seen and heard by walking around the rivers and lakes before, and he barely remembered a few moves, and concluded that Lin Hao should use one of the routines of the free hand, pushing and forcing his position, either to fight a fight, to go sideways to elbow, one after another, or to take advantage of his retreat to open the wave with both palms and hit the front position.

Sanmen's set of free palm methods, there are many routines, complex changes, although he has not been to the front before, but he has a deep understanding. didn't dare to be contemptuous at the moment, and hurriedly slapped its palms on the road. Lin Hao really changed his palms, grabbed with one hand, and shot straight with the other.

This move is extremely easy to break, just use one move to reverse Huashan in Wuyue's palm, you can split and grab, hit the opponent's straight arm, but if this guy next uses the magic in his hand to the extreme, how to solve my Qihai and Yangguan?

Ye Yunsheng slapped out his palm violently, wanting to knock out the opponent's wonderful place, but the palm momentum failed, and his chest was hit by Lin Hao's straight shot. He fell out and hurriedly exercised his pranayama to stabilize his qi and blood.

Lin Hao, who succeeded in one move, was stunned for a moment, put away the power frame, snorted, and said, "No wonder you refuse to help, it turns out to be a soft egg!"

The brother in the back saw it and hurriedly said to Lin Hao: "Big brother, you can't just let him go!"

Ye Yunsheng's work with only these two sentences has been restored to the same as before, in fact, if he knew that he would be hit, he would first use the Bright Light God Guardian Body, and the Gang Qi would be dense all over his body, with his twenty years of skill, Lin Hao's palm would not be able to move him at all.

But...... Defeat is defeat. A little-known person defeated him with one move.

"You guy, listen well, a certain three brothers are waiting to be rescued in the prison cell of the official mansion, depending on the situation, they will always spend a hundred taels of silver to dredge up the relationship, give you three days, and after three days, a certain will come to you again!" He turned around and walked out of the alley with a few people, and turned back and said: "If you can't give the money at that time, you will break your legs!"

The wind was strong at night, but it couldn't blow into the alley, only whistling overhead.

The starlight fell, Ye Yunsheng's face was immersed in darkness, he looked at his feet, motionless, and his figure was stretched obliquely by the faint light.
