At dawn, just after the dawn, Mo Shiping, who was carrying a shriveled bag, left the humble inn and headed for Qingluo Mountain.

After eating in the hotel this time, there was very little left on his body. In case you don't have the power to return to the big turtle town, you will have to go back hungry in embarrassment.

The boy shook his head, no longer thinking about it.

"If you want to climb to the top of Qingluo Mountain to participate in the trial before the time, this Qingluo Mountain is not much bigger than the Turtle Mountain, and one hour is enough. ”

The young man secretly calculated in his heart. In fact, for Mo Shiping, who is accustomed to walking mountain roads, he is already familiar with the mountain road of Da Turtle Mountain, and it does not take more than an hour to go up and down. But after all, I haven't walked the mountain road of Qingluo Mountain, and it may be more tortuous and winding than the big turtle mountain, so the boy still chose to go out when he arrived, and just reserved an hour, which must be enough.

After a while, Mo Shiping came to the foot of Qingluo Mountain. From a distance, there is already a long queue in front of the only mountain road in Qingluo Mountain.

"Ah, you have to queue up to walk on the mountain road?" Mo Shiping muttered to himself, feeling that something was a little strange.

At this moment, a brawl broke out at the front of the group.

I saw a young man in sackcloth at the front of the line, with a red face and red ears, and shouted at the white-robed Imperial Spirit Sect disciple who was guarding the mountain road: "Why don't you let me go?

The disciple of the Imperial Spirit Sect glanced at the young man in Mai coldly, and said, "I said before, if you pay ten ingots of gold, you can walk the mountain road, and if you don't pay it, you can walk the path on the side, this is the rule." You don't understand?"

The voice of the disciples of the Imperial Spirit Sect was not loud, but it could make everyone in line at the foot of the mountain hear it clearly.

"You are blackmailing, how can I have so much money? How can I take the trail to catch the trial? I will take the mountain road today. Mai was too young to be angry, so she wanted to break into the mountain road.

"Smack!" A soft sound came, and the young man in Mai who wanted to break through the mountain road was thrown three or four feet away by the disciples of the Imperial Spirit Sect with a wave of his sleeves, and he fell to the ground, thinking that he was unconscious.

The white-robed disciples of the Imperial Spirit Sect didn't bother to take a look at the Mai boy, and continued to coldly say to all the people queuing at the foot of the mountain: "Either pay the money and walk the mountain road, or honestly take the path next to it." Those who don't even understand the rules are not eligible to participate in the trial. ”

The long queue that had been lined up instantly erupted into a complaining commotion.

"You're a bully!"

"Is the Imperial Spirit Sect still reasonable? Just bully our poor children?"

"You are so blatant about robbing money, aren't you afraid of the punishment of the elders of the Imperial Spirit Sect?"

......

Then the white-robed disciple was unmoved, just stood there quietly.

At this time, a young man in a gorgeous silk robe rushed to the front of the line, and without saying a word, he took out a heavy money bag and handed it to the disciples of the Imperial Spirit Sect who were guarding the mountain road.

The white-robed disciple took the money bag, opened it and glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Yes, there are twenty ingots, he is a young man who understands human feelings, go over." ”

The young man in gorgeous silk gently clenched his fists and thanked him, and then stepped on the neat and wide bluestone mountain road built by the Imperial Spirit Sect, and dared to go to the top of the mountain non-stop.

The white-robed disciple put the money bag into his arms, and seemed to be in a good mood, so he said more: "Now there is only half an hour left before the time, either give money and walk the mountain road, or honestly take the trail." If I were you, I would have made a decision quickly, and if it was too late, I would have missed this trial. ”

The crowd that was originally noisy and complaining suddenly quieted down, and then most of the teenagers in the original line walked out and silently walked to the side of the path, without exception, they were all poorly dressed young men who wanted to leap over the dragon gate.

The rest of the queue are almost all rich children in fancy clothes.

Mo Shiping was no exception, and walked quickly to the side of the path. But he didn't feel unfair in his heart, on the contrary, he felt that there was nothing to complain about. Since you have come to participate in the trial of the Imperial Spirit Sect, you should follow the rules of the Imperial Spirit Sect.

Sure enough, the other trail up the mountain was not far from what Mo Shiping had guessed, it was a completely unbuilt trail with potholes. There is a lot of yin air on the mountain, so it is muddy, and many teenagers who have not walked the mountain road often have one leg of mud when they go down.

However, for Mo Shiping, who grew up in Big Turtle Mountain since he was a child, this is not too difficult to walk. The foothold of each of his feet naturally landed on the more solid place of the muddy path, so as not to get muddy with trouser legs.

However, after walking for a while, Mo Shiping suddenly found that there were fewer and fewer people along the way.

"No way?" Mo Shiping realized that this so-called trail was only a distance of not too long or too short a mountain road. The young men from the poor family who took the lead in front naturally scattered in all directions, trying to find a way to find the top of the mountain on the road.

Mo Shiping glanced up at the position of the sun and roughly estimated his foot strength.

"That's about the mountainside. Mo Shiping glanced around, lush forests and bamboos, lush green. Through the dense foliage, you can faintly see the abrupt peaks and steep cliffs.

The young man with the shriveled bag on his back frowned, and said to himself: "Find a way first, if you really don't have it, you can only go up slowly down the hillside." ”

So, Mo Shiping wandered around, but he didn't find a man-made path, but there were many poor teenagers who had already walked through the leafy woods to face the difficulties and began to climb the mountain.

Mo Shiping sighed lightly, not that he was complaining that there was no path to walk, but that he felt that most of the poor teenagers would not have time to climb to the top of the mountain, climbing the mountain is not only a physical work, but also a meticulous work, if you don't pay attention to it, you will slip under your feet and hurt yourself.

Since there was only one way to climb the mountain, Mo Shiping didn't hesitate, but he first spent a lot of effort and broke off a sturdy branch as a simple trekking pole.

At first, Mo Shiping naturally used tree branches as trekking poles to make a living in Da Turtle Mountain, but he stopped using them after becoming familiar with the mountain roads. But now in Qingluo Mountain, where he is not familiar with his life, the young man still chooses to be safe.

Just a short time after the young man walked forward with a trekking pole, Mo Shiping heard an angry shout from front of him.

"Bah, but let me catch it, you dug the pit before, right?"

Mo Shiping stepped forward quickly and found that a tall boy about seventeen or eighteen years old grabbed the placket of a somewhat thin young man.

I saw that the thin young man who looked like a monkey with a sharp mouth and cheeks hurriedly shouted: "Big brother, it's not me, you're mistaken!"

The tall boy immediately shouted: "You stinky boy, I stepped on several pits before and almost rolled down the mountain, and this pit was deliberately covered with leaves, which was clearly artificial, so I kept an extra eye, deliberately lowered my pace and moved forward, and when I arrived, I saw you squatting on the ground sneaky, not digging a pit to harm people, what are you doing?"

Mo Shiping frowned, he also used trekking poles to probe a few small potholes on the way up from the mountainside, and carefully avoided them, it turned out that this thin young man did it.

The thin young man's face flushed, and he stammered a little in fright: "I... I'm playing with mud. ”

"Playing with mud, you stinky boy, not only digging a hole to harm me, but also deceiving me as a fool?" the tall boy was obviously very angry, and without saying anything, he kicked the thin boy in the abdomen.

The thin boy was in pain, and immediately stumbled backwards with his strength, curled up, and prepared to land on his back, which would not only cushion the impact force, but also protect the important parts of his body very effectively.

Only this time, he forgot, he was on the hillside.

"Ah!" the emaciated boy let out a cry of fear. As he retreated, the thin young man stepped on the air with his right foot, and instead of landing on his back as smoothly as he expected, he rolled directly down the hillside.

Seeing this, the tall young man shook his head: "Self-inflicted, you can't live." After that, he didn't bother to see if the young man he kicked was in danger of life, and continued straight towards the top of the mountain.

The slope of the mountain is steep, if you roll down by this thin young man, I am afraid that you will roll all the way to the halfway up the mountain, even if you don't die, you will be covered in bruises and lose your ability to move, and in this barren mountain and wilderness, it also means death.

Seeing this, Mo Shiping, who was behind, sighed, and quickly stepped forward to meet him, his left hand was stationed with a trekking pole, and his right hand was stretched out, and he suddenly grabbed the thin young man who rolled down the hillside, but the two of them both slid down the hillside.

"Ahh

"Many... Thank you!" The frightened emaciated boy lay on the ground patting his chest, gasping for breath, oblivious to the many small wounds left by the scratches on the branches.

Mo Shiping shook his head, didn't say anything, got up and prepared to leave, the matter has come to this, saving his life is already benevolent and righteous. For this young man who digs pits and harms people, he naturally has no good feelings in his heart. If this thin boy is allowed to succeed, will the tall boy really step on the pit and accidentally roll down the hillside, will it be unpredictable?

However, if this thin young man is allowed to die in front of his eyes like this, he can save it but he can't save it, Mo Shiping can't do it.

"Hey, don't go, this big brother, the little brother hasn't had time yet... Ah, it hurts!"

Mo Shiping looked back and saw the thin young man squatting on the ground, looking pained, and his right hand was pressed tightly on his ankle, obviously sprained when he rolled down the hill.

Mo Shiping thought for a while and lightly put the trekking poles on the ground: "Take the trekking poles and go down the mountain." ”

The thin young man shook his head unexpectedly, gritted his teeth, and staggered to his feet: "I still have to go up the mountain, and I should still be able to catch up with the trial." ”

Mo Shiping frowned lightly and said, "You look like this, it's hard to even stand up, and it's a luxury to be able to walk to the foot of the mountain safely, let alone go up the mountain." ”

The emaciated teenager just shook his head and didn't answer. He took a step forward with his right foot, and suddenly sweated profusely, but he gritted his teeth and did not stop, one step at a time......

Mo Shiping was a little stunned, he couldn't imagine that this young man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks who dug pits all the way and harmed people would be so persistent, so he kindly persuaded him: "If you continue like this, your ankle will only hurt more seriously, and besides, you won't have time to reach the top of the mountain before the end of the day." ”

The staggering young man picked up the trekking poles, was silent for a moment, raised his head, looked at Mo Shiping with red eyes, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly knelt down resolutely, choked up: "Big brother, can you please help me, I have to go to the top of the mountain to participate in the trial no matter what." If I owe you, I will pay you back in the future. ”

Mo Shiping did not nod or shake his head. He suddenly thought of kneeling down and kowtowing to the old man in a black robe and begging him to save his grandfather, and the young man in front of him had the same eyes as he did at that time.

His eyes were full of the madness of a man who had fallen into the water and grasped the last straw.

"Why do you want to dig a pit and harm people?" Thinking of this, Mo Shiping asked softly.

This time, the emaciated boy did not deny what he had done, but he did not show the slightest remorse.

"For every one person I lose, I have one more chance of passing the trial. Even if I do it by any means, I will get the status of a disciple of the Imperial Spirit Sect. ”

When Mo Shiping heard this, his expression was gloomy, and he was a little angry: "Then have you ever thought that people who step on the pit and fall down will die?

The thin young man raised his head suddenly, and said with red eyes: "If someone really dies, I will definitely not be able to repay them in this life, and I will be a cow and a horse in the next life." ”

Then the thin young man lowered his head, big tears dripped on the ground, and he muttered softly: "Not in this life, in the future, they will kill or chop them up, and I have no complaints about the pain of gouging out my eyes and pulling out my tongue in the eighteenth layer of hell." ”

Mo Shiping was silent, he could see that he was not the only one who had a reason to pass the trial, and the thin young man in front of him must also have it, and he was also a hard-working teenager.

Mo Shiping sighed, squatted down, helped the young man up, and asked, "What's your name?"

The thin young man wiped away his tears and replied, "My name is Wang Fugui." ”

Mo Shiping paused for a moment, he remembered a young man who wore a clean rag on his shoulder all the year round, the shopkeeper who would wait for him at the door of the inn no matter how late it was.

Li Facai, Wang Fugui.

Mo Shiping smiled, is this also an alternative fate?

"My name is Mo Shiping. Let's go, I'll take you to the top of the mountain. This is what you owe me, you don't have to wait until the future to pay it back, you just need to promise me one thing. ”

"Big brother, you say, I promise anything. ”

"Don't do this kind of digging pit and harming people in the future. ”

Wang Fugui nodded vigorously. He hadn't read a book, so he didn't know what words to use to describe this somewhat swarthy boy, and after thinking about it for a long time, he only thought of one word: good old man.

Mo Shiping squatted down, turned around, and said, "I'll carry you, otherwise we really won't be able to catch up." ”

......

Mo Shiping, who was accustomed to carrying a basket on his back, walked the mountain road on his back for the first time, but felt that carrying this thin young man on his back was not as hard as carrying a basket, and even accelerated his pace and quickly moved along the hillside to the top of the mountain.

And Wang Fugui, who was behind him, secretly wiped his tears, if he had the opportunity, he wanted to tell his sister that the world that made him extremely desperate was not full of bad people, there were really good people.

It's a pity that what makes him desperate in this world is that there are not so many ifs and opportunities.
