Everyone recuperated in this small inn in Bozi Town for more than two months, from late autumn in September to early spring of the following year. Wang Xue is young and strong, and with the careful care of Liu Yue, Hu Jing, Zhang Guanhua and others, her injuries have healed ninety percent, and she has almost recovered, and she has been able to practice martial arts with Zhang Guanhua, Zhang Leicheng, Sun Yue and others in the backyard of the inn.

In her spare time, Wang Xue recalled the past experience in the past few years, and often felt that life was like a dream, the world was impermanent, and sometimes she even thought that instead of fighting and killing on the rivers and lakes, and being happy and revenge, it was better to live in seclusion in the fields, and live a sunrise and the days of sunrise and west, although it was dull, it was better than the bloody wind and rain on the rivers and lakes. Senior Brother Xie Jie and they have also lived in seclusion for a few years, which shows that it is much better to go to the countryside than to wander in the martial arts. ”

In the early morning of this day, Liu Yue ordered Zhang Leicheng and others to pack their bags. Zhang Lei Chengqi said: "Senior brother, don't you plan to live in this inn?" Liu Yue said: "So many of us live in the upper room of the inn, plus the daily three meals a day, the daily consumption of silver is really a lot, we are used to sleeping in the open air, where we sleep at night is the same, there is no need to spend silver in vain to live in the inn." Zhang Leicheng laughed and said: "Senior brother, the younger brother has no other skills, this ability to make money is the first in the world, don't say that this is just a few small dollars, that is, to buy the entire inn is also a matter of raising your hand, as long as the younger brother writes a letter, I can immediately send two silver taels to the rice shop in Beiling, that is, a few hundred taels of silver tickets can also be taken out, but Bozi Town is not as big as the capital market town, except for this inn, there is no bigger and better inn to live temporarily, but it is a snub brother." Liu Yue said: "The diet and living don't have to be too luxurious, let's live in the inn again this time, just because Wang Xue is seriously injured and can't go back to the mountain, now that her injury has healed, let's move back to the mountain to live, you should also go back to Beiling to take care of the rice shop business, Hu Jing Sun Yue's martial arts hall must also go back to take care of it as soon as possible." At the moment, Hu Jing, Zhang Guanhua and others were called to pack their bags. Zhou Yuan said: "I'll go and tell Wang Xue to get up." “

Liu Yue saw Zhang Leicheng's reluctant face, knowing that he was very emotional, and finally he was able to meet his brothers and sisters, and he couldn't bear to separate, so he comforted him and said: "Our brothers have been friends for almost twenty years, and I don't want to be separated from you, but as the saying goes, there is no banquet in the world, we can't live in the inn for a lifetime, not to mention that you are still young, you can get together three or five times a year, don't make trouble and say goodbye to life and death." “

Zhou Yuan hurried out of the inner hall of the inn and shouted: "Oh no, senior brother, it's not good, Wang Xue is leaving!" Liu Yue said to Zhang Leicheng: "Look at Wang Xue, a girl's house, just go, how free and easy, you are a big man, and you are the big boss and rich man of the rice shop, why are you stubborn?" Senior brother, come with me and take a look. Liu Yue rushed to Wang Xue's room, only to see that Wang Xue's clothes and bags were really not there, and there were three big characters on the ground that she carved with a token: "I'll go." Liu Yue said: "Wang Xue, this child, has a temperament very similar to me, she can't stay in one place, she always likes to run around, she must be wandering around." Liu Yue didn't know that he guessed wrong this time, Wang Xue really likes to wander around, she was separated from Liu Yue twice before, wandering around on the rivers and lakes, that is, she likes to play in the mountains and rivers, but this time she is looking down on the world of the rivers and lakes, and wants to live a peaceful life in the countryside. Young people's hearts always love to fight hard, and they want to do a vigorous thing while they are young, but with the gradual increase of their teeth, with the ups and downs of several years of setbacks and tempering, their hearts are becoming more and more mature. The more introverted she is, the more and more she feels that life in the world should be plain and calm, the day Wang Xue first came to Bozi Town, it was the time when the heart was beginning to grow up, she liked to be able everywhere, and she was ruthless with people everywhere, she and Li Hao Zhang Guanhua met for the first time because of this, and now after a few years, Wang Xue has been trained quite calm, her mind is calm and quiet, and she wants to live a peaceful life in peace. Zhang Leicheng frowned and said: "Wang Xue is really, if she wants to leave, how can we stop her? Why don't you say hello to us before leaving?" Liu Yue smiled and said: "It's okay, Wang Xue looks like a well-behaved girl, but in fact she is a silly girl who is heroic and does her own thing, she doesn't want her mother-in-law to say some parting words to us, but it can be forgiven." Liu Yue didn't know that Wang Xue didn't say goodbye, in fact, he didn't want to say the idea of retreating, just because he didn't ask about the world affairs after retreating, and Liu Yue, Zhang Guanhua, Hu Jing and others would never see each other again.

Wang Xue walked out of the inn that night, and didn't know where to go, she came to Beiling from her hometown in Jiangnan when she was a child, and went all the way to the north, and then rushed back to her hometown in Jiangnan from Bozi Town, which went south, and then went to Beiling, and Zhang Leicheng, Xie Jie, Zhou Yuan, and Kang Zhong fought with the Villain Gang, and when she rushed to Bozi Town from Beiling, she traveled east on the way for a while, thinking that she had not been to the west in the past ten years, so she went all the way to the west and lived in the grassland village in the extreme west. The herdsmen in the northwest admired the customs of the Central Plains, and learned that Wang Xue came from the Central Plains, and treated Wang Xue very attentively.

Although Wang Xue has the heart to go into seclusion and does not ask about the martial arts world, she has been good at martial arts since she was a child, and she will insist on practicing martial arts every morning and dusk. The northwest is sparsely populated, but there is no lack of capable geniuses, and there are many people with unique martial arts, Wang Xue has been in the northwest for a long time, and has met a lot of martial arts masters, she has been learning from martial arts masters every day, discussing the world's martial arts, and there is a year of more adventures, and martial arts cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds. When Wang Xue first came to the Northwest, compared with the martial arts masters in the Northwest, her martial arts were slightly inferior, but she studied hard every day, and her martial arts gradually surpassed the masters in the Northwest, and she had faintly become the first female master in the Northwest. Sometimes in her spare time, Wang Xue often thinks to herself: "With my martial arts today, don't say that Senior Sister Hu Jing, Senior Brother Sun Yue, Zhang Guanhua, and Zhang Lei have become them, but I'm afraid that it is Evil Heaven and Earth, Chen Dog King, Qiu Haibo, Ah You, maybe even Senior Brother Xiao and Senior Brother Liu are not my opponents." ”

In the afternoon of this day, a few herdsmen in the northwest got a few storybooks out of nowhere, and the people in the northwest were fierce and uneducated, and there were very few people who knew Chinese characters, and books were even rarer. The naughty children all knew that Wang Xue was from the Central Plains, and they also knew the Central Plains language, so they pestered Wang Xue and begged Wang Xue to tell a story. Wang Xue has a naughty temperament, originally liked to get along with children, saw the Central Plains books, missed her hometown, and said: "You follow me into the yard, and Sister Wang Xue will tell you stories." Amid the laughter of the children, he led groups of children into the courtyard and sat down under the haystacks.

Wang Xue casually flipped through a page of the book and said, "Tell this story." "The children don't know Chinese characters, they can't read the contents of the book, but the pictures attached to the book are understandable, only to see that the painting is a white-haired old man, there are two huge mountains in front of the old man, and the old man digs the mountain with both hands, as if to dig through the mountain. A child shouted, "Sister Wang Xue, what kind of story is this?" Wang Xue smiled: "This story is called Yugong Moving Mountains." He read aloud to the storybook: "Taihang, Wangwu Ershan, seven hundred miles square, ten thousand miles high, this is in the south of Jizhou, the north of Heyang." The foolish man of Beishan is ninety years old and lives facing the mountain. Punish the fortress in the north of the mountain, and enter and exit the detour. Gather in the room and conspire, saying: 'I and Ru Bili are in danger, referring to the south of Henan, reaching Hanyin, but what?' His wife was suspicious, saying...... "Wang Xue only read here, the children complained and shouted, the northwest Pole border land is mostly Mongolian, Western Regions herdsmen, very few Han people, the children in the border can not even speak Chinese well, Wang Xue read the Chinese crepe sentences, not to say that it is a child in the northwest, even the Northwest Confucianism may not be able to understand for a while." A child shouted, "Sister Wang Xue, please speak human words!" Wang Xue pouted, closed the book, and said, "Okay, my sister speaks human words." Once upon a time, there was an old man named Yu Gong. There are two mountains in front of Yugong's house, Yugong has to go around the mountains every day, and over time, Yugong has an idea in his heart, he wants to move the two mountains for the convenience of travel. Yugong's family shook their heads when they heard this, saying that you are tired to death in this life, and it is impossible to move the mountain away. But Yugong did not listen to the dissuasion, and still took his son and grandson to move the mountain. But the wise man of the river meander laughed at the foolish and stubborn man, and said that you are old and weak, where can you move the stone and mud? The foolish man said, "You are the foolish and stubborn person, and I have a son when I die, and my son has a grandson when he dies, and there is no end to the children and grandchildren, and one day the mountain can be transported away." Later, a mountain god heard about this and informed the Emperor of Heaven about it, and the Emperor of Heaven was moved, so he sent two powerful immortals to carry away the mountain, which is south of Jizhou today to the south of the Han River, and there is no high mountain. The story is over. ”

The children looked at each other and blinked at Wang Xue with big eyes. Wang Xue said: "What's the matter, isn't the story my sister told wonderful?" The children shouted in unison: "It's not exciting!" One child then said: "What kind of story is this, where in the world can there be such a stupid person who wants to move the mountains away?" Besides, even if the children and grandchildren are endless, they may not be able to move the mountains away, not to mention that not everyone will marry a wife and have children, and the people born may not all be able to do coolies. The third child exclaimed, "Also, the old fool is 90 years old, and he has been walking around the mountains for most of his life, so why did he think of moving the mountains when he came? Besides, at his age, he still has a few years to live? Where the two mountains are left to stop him, what is the difference between those who can move them or not?"

Wang Xue, who said these words directly to the children, was stunned and thought: "When I listened to this story when I was a child, I was really moved, and I was impressed by the perseverance of fools. After thinking about it, he said: "There is a saying in our middle school, which is called 'old and strong, and rather move the heart of the white head', although Yugong is old, but the strong heart is what our juniors want to emulate." If there is no help from the gods, Yu Gong will not be able to move the mountain away in this life, but his descendants will be able to complete his will one day. A child raised his hand and shouted: "There is a poem in the Central Plains, called: 'Singing is when you get it, you are resting when you lose, you are sad and hateful, you have wine today, you are drunk today, you are sad tomorrow, you are sad tomorrow, you are sad tomorrow.' If you want me to say, the foolish old man should be at peace with what happens, I heard that this is the Taoist concept of the Central Plains. Another child said: "There is also a saying in the Central Plains, which is called, 'Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon.'" I think that the foolish grandfather should be happy in time. Wang Xuezheng didn't know how to answer, but listened to another child: "People in the Central Plains often say that everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, and doesn't care about the frost on the tiles of others." The stupid old man has lived his life well, what do you care about others?"

Wang Xue was displeased, and said in her heart: "You Northwest naughty boys, you don't know Chinese characters, you can't even speak Chinese well, how can you say the ancient language of the Central Plains to refute me, the small words are one set of words?" She didn't want to be serious with the children, just smiled slightly, and said: "The story of Yugong tells us that if you want to achieve great things, you must persevere." My sister used to make a few good friends on Bozi Mountain in the north of the Central Plains, one of whom was named Wu Tian, who loved to read storybooks, and his favorite story was this 'Yugong Moving Mountains'. A child said, "I guess this Wu Tian must also be a fool." The children burst into laughter. Wang Xue couldn't help but laugh slightly, and said: "Wu Tian is indeed stupid, but he is simple and kind-hearted, and my sister likes him very much." A child shouted: "Ah, I know, that Wu Tian is our brother-in-law, isn't it, Sister Wang Xue." Wang Xue blushed and said, "Children are not allowed to talk nonsense, he is not your brother-in-law." Then he changed the topic and said: "Don't think about what everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door, you should have great ambitions, the foolish man is still ambitious at the age of ninety, let alone your ten-year-old naughty boy?"

Wang Xue's last sentence was extremely peaceful and serious. After a while, a child suddenly raised his head and said: "Sister Wang Xue's lesson is that we should be ambitious, even if our ambitions are not rewarded in the end, we should be a good person with a simple heart like Miss Wu Tian." Wang Xue said angrily: "I said he is not your brother-in-law!" The child no longer pestered Wang Xue to listen to the story, and went into the open space behind the courtyard to practice martial arts, and other children also followed, some went to practice martial arts, and some went home to practice riding horses and grazing. This is often the case with children's hearts.

Wang Xue sat under the grass pile, thinking about the matter of Yu Gong over and over again, and his heart suddenly fluctuated, thinking: "With Wu Tian's simple heart, I also know that I should follow Yu Gong and be a person with great ambitions, I am two years older than Wu Tian, how can I hide timidly in this remote place and do nothing? If Wu Tian knew about it, he would definitely laugh at me." ”

At night, when the wind suddenly rose, Wang Xue felt something, packed his bags and quietly went north, and since then he has left the rivers and mountains of the Central Plains and stepped all over the martial arts.

Over the years, things have changed. In the twilight of the cardamom storm, Wang Xue has experienced more than ten years of twists and turns on the rivers and lakes, and her sideburns have wrinkles, and she is no longer the red-faced girl she used to be.

On this day, Wang Xue traveled to Jiaxing and worked in Jiaxing Fengyu Restaurant. Wang Xue sat in a corner of the restaurant, asked for two side dishes, a big pot of tea, only drank two cups of tea, then listened to the sound of footsteps downstairs, four bare-chested muscular men strode upstairs, sat down in the middle of the hall, one of them shouted loudly: "Xiao Er, where did you die, give grandpa ten catties of liquor, cut two chickens, and a big plate of beef!" Wang Xue drank a small cup of tea, poured another cup of tea, picked up chopsticks and took a few mouthfuls of green vegetables, quietly tilted his head to look at the four reckless men, and saw that the four people had fierce eyes and arrogant conversations. Wang Xue has seen a lot of wicked scum in the past ten years, seeing that although these four people look vicious, they do not look like people with strong martial arts, they are just ordinary people with bad conduct, and they are just drinking tea and eating vegetables at the moment, and they don't pay attention to the four of them.

The four of them ate and drank for a while, and then the wine became stronger, and the words became more, the four of them were all rough people, and they were contaminated with a lot of bad habits in the market, and their speech was not only vulgar, but also foul language. Wang Xue sat on the seat not far from the four of them, listening to the dirty and unbearable words of the four people, she couldn't help frowning, but she couldn't help but listen to the words in her ears.

Suddenly, one of them scolded: "I heard that thief woman Wang Xue went south to Zhejiang two months ago, we have to be careful these days." Wang Xue's heart moved, and she listened attentively. only listened to another person: "This thief woman doesn't know where she came out, she goes against the underworld characters on the rivers and lakes wherever she goes, and others say that she is the living heroine who eliminates the scum of the rivers and lakes, and wants me to say that she is the real scum on the rivers and lakes." Then the four of them scolded Wang Xue with a glance and a word from me. Wang Xue listened to a few words of the Japanese letter when she was a teenager, if you are soft-hearted and let go of a wicked person, it is equivalent to helping the wicked to be evil, because Wang Xue has been walking around the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and whenever she meets a big traitor, she will immediately teach a lesson, forcing the evil man to swear no longer to harm people, if the wicked person does not change his life, Wang Xue will take action to twist the arm of the wicked person, so that he can not hurt people if he wants to hurt people, and Wang Xue has been given a nickname of "heroine of the world" on the rivers and lakes, but there are also many evildoers who scold Wang Xue behind their backs. Wang Xue has long been accustomed to hearing these words, and she doesn't think she is angry, this time she heard these four people scold herself, and she knew that the four of them were the scum of the underworld in Zhejiang, but the words "scum of the rivers and lakes" were not pasted on people's faces, although Wang Xue knew that the four of them were big traitors, but the four of them did not do evil in front of her, and she didn't have to take action, and she heard the four of them scolding herself, but she just smiled and said nothing.

Suddenly, a noodle bowl flew over and was buckled on top of the head of one of the four, and the person who poured it was full of noodle soup. The four of them got up and scolded angrily: "Who the fuck did it?" "If you have a kind, stand up for grandpa!" "See if I don't break your legs!" A delicate voice at the back table said: "Don't look for it, I did it." The four of them looked back and saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl sitting at the back table. The girl was very delicate, and she was dressed up in a beautiful manner, and said: "Wang Xue is a great hero, a great chivalrous warrior, how can you little thieves insult at will? The four of them listened to the girl's voice very gently, but the words were awe-inspiring and inviolable, and they couldn't help but be stunned. One person scolded: "Thief girl, who are you Wang Xue?" The girl said: "It's not me, I'm just young and vigorous, and I can't see you insulting the big hero." ”
