Tiantai Mountain belongs to Taizhou County, East Zhejiang Province, Jiangsu, Zhejiang Province, and Jeju is 2,600 miles away from Tiantai Mountain. Da Kui is alone, and he has experienced a lot of hardships in the open air. After traveling for more than a month, he actually arrived at the Yangtze River in Yingtianfu.

The Yangtze River is known as the first river in China, and many literati at home and abroad have praised its vastness and magnificence. Looking at the Yangtze River: the waves flow magnificently eastward, and the mountains on both sides of the river are full of them.

Da Kui saw the Yangtze River for the first time, and couldn't help but sigh: "My mother, this Yangtze River is long!" Da Kui found the wharf and spent fifty yuan to cross the Yangtze River on a merchant ship.

After getting off the boat and walking for more than an hour, a small town appeared in front of him, and Da Kui dragged his tired body into the town. I found a small restaurant and sat down at a table where no one was there, and the little two in the store stepped forward and asked, "What do you want from the guest officer?" Da Kui said: "Two bowls of noodles are eaten here, and twenty steamed buns are wrapped and taken away."

Xiao Er agreed and turned around, and after a while, he took the tray and put the food that Da Kui wanted on the table one by one: "The guest officer uses it slowly." Da Kui picked up the chopsticks and ate them all. After a while, the two large bowls of noodles Dakui ate cleanly. In the end, even the leftover noodle soup in the bowl was picked up and poured into the stomach. After eating, wipe your mouth, still unfinished. But Da Kui didn't dare to eat anymore, how long would it take to reach Tiantai Mountain, and Da Kui couldn't eat it accurately. but more than half of the money has been spent.

Da Kui shouted to Xiao Er to settle the bill, and Xiao Er said: "A total of twenty-six dollars." Da Kui took out the money bag and poured it on the table, counted out twenty-six Wen and handed it to Xiao Er, and put the rest of the silver coins back into the money bag and put it in his arms. At this time, the two people at a table not far from him glanced in the direction of Da Kui while eating and drinking. Da Kui stuffed the paper bag wrapped in steamed buns into the baggage, picked up the burden and went out. I didn't notice that there were two people behind me.

After leaving the town and heading south, after walking seven or eight miles, the two of them overtook Da Kui and blocked the way. Da Kui didn't look like a good person when he saw these two, and he tilted his head and opened his arms one by one. One of them had a large black mole under his lips, and a tuft of black hair grew on it. Da Kui remembered his mother's words and didn't dare to make a mistake: "Two big brothers, it's convenient." Please borrow it". Hei Yuzi stretched out his hand to stop: "Wait a minute, brother, I have something I want to ask my brother for a favor." Da Kui asked puzzledly: "What's the matter?" Hei Yuzi said: "My brothers have been short of money recently, and I want to borrow two money from my brother to spend it." After speaking, he smiled wickedly, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth.

"Then, how much do you borrow?" Da Kui asked in surprise, and the black man's face showed a fierce expression: "Are you so stupid? How can I go to Tiantai Mountain without money?"

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Da Kui to react, he kicked Da Kui in the stomach, and Da Kui was kicked to the ground on his back. Then the two ruffians rushed up and punched and kicked Da Kui on his body and head and face, and beat him wantonly, and Da Kui fell to the ground with his head in his hands. Although it hurt a lot, he didn't hum and struggled. It wasn't until he was kicked a few times on the head that Da Kui fell into a trance and finally passed out on the road.

When he woke up again, the bright moon was already high, and Da Kui struggled to stand up, but there was no pain in his body. Looking around, I was in a ditch beside the road. Reaching out and touching his arms, the money bag was gone, but fortunately, the soup and the letter were still there.

Around his body, his clothes, cloth shoes and steamed buns were scattered all over the ground. At this time, it was early winter, and I was afraid that I would freeze my body if I stayed for a long time. Da Kui endured the pain and packed the things on the ground into his baggage, and climbed onto the road with the burden on his back. After sitting on the side of the road and resting for a while, Da Kui gritted his teeth and stood up. Walking towards the south, Da Kui didn't dare to stop, but he was afraid that he would faint again if he stopped. So I can only grit my teeth and go all the way.

In this way, until dawn, when you are hungry, you will eat half a steamed bun, and when you are sleepy, you will find a leeward place to sleep. Da Kui divides a steamed bun into two meals a day, and walks for more than half a month in a blink of an eye. The steamed buns were gone, and Da Kui went to beg when he saw someone's house. At this time, Da Kui was unkempt, ragged, skinny, and no different from a beggar.

On this day, we went to a village. I saw two old men playing chess at the entrance of the village, and there were a few people around watching the excitement. Da Kui stepped forward and asked weakly, "Two old men, what kind of place is this? ”

The two old men were fighting over a chess game, and when they saw someone disturbing, they stopped arguing and looked at Da Kui. One of the long-bearded old men asked, "Where are you from?" Since the old man spoke the Jiangsu and Zhejiang dialects, Da Kui didn't understand it at all. The old man asked again, and this time Da Kui understood: "I am from Jeju, Shandong, where is this uncle?"

The old man replied: "This is the territory of Lin'an Mansion, this place is called Huangpoling, and this village is called Xiaoling Village." The Tiantai Mountain you mentioned is still more than 400 miles away from here. Da Kui was very happy when he heard this: "It's finally almost here, hehe." The long-bearded old man asked, "You have traveled thousands of miles to Tiantai Mountain, what is the matter?"

Da Kui smiled: "I'll go to learn from a teacher." The old man sighed: "Hey, it's not easy to walk so far at a young age." Da Kui felt like a confidant when he heard this, and he couldn't help crying. When the old man saw Da Kui crying, he couldn't help but soften: "Child, you're hungry." It's almost noon, let's go for a walk and go to my house. With that, he got up and pulled Da Kui past him and walked towards the village. As soon as the old man left, someone immediately sat down in his place and said, "Come on, come on, let's try the old king"....

The old man's house is very simple, with three thatched houses. The perimeter is a three-foot-high stone fence, and a few chickens are kept in the yard. As soon as he entered the door, the old man shouted: "Old woman, there is a guest." An old woman came out of the east house, and when she saw Da Kui, she asked the old man puzzled: "Whose child is this?" The old man said: "I came from Jeju and said that I went to Tiantai Mountain to apprentice, and I passed by here." When I saw that I was pitiful, I took it back. The old woman sighed, "Oh, you see this child is thin." ”

The old man said impatiently: "Why don't you go and kill a chicken, fry two more chickens, and don't forget to brand a few flatbreads." When the old woman heard this, she turned around and went to get busy, and the old man said with a smile: "Come on, child, go into the house and rest." Da Kui stepped forward to follow the old man into the house, but for a while, the sky was dizzy, and Da Kui fainted on the ground with a 'poof'. The hunger, fatigue, and cold of the past few days had taken away the last of his strength.

Da Kui woke up again, still dizzy, probably from a long sleep. Looking around, he was lying on a wooden bed with a quilt on his body. At this time, he smelled a smell of meat in his nose, and Da Kui fixed his eyes. Not far away, on the square table, there is a clay pot, inside which is a stewed chicken, and a bamboo dustpan next to it. Inside is a stack of burnt brown flatbread.

Da Kuifeng got up and threw himself in front of the square table, grabbed the flatbread and stuffed it into his mouth. Choking after eating, Da Kui picked up the clay pot and drank chicken soup, and then continued to stuff the flatbread into his mouth.

The old man heard movement in the house and pushed the door in. Seeing Da Kui's eating appearance, he hurriedly said: "Slow down the child, don't be in a hurry." At this time, Da Kui could not listen to it, just eat the sea. I didn't stop until I stuffed all the food on the table into my stomach. The old man smiled and asked, "Have you eaten enough?" Da Kui nodded, still chewing the bread and meat in his mouth, burping from time to time.
