Pang Qiushui pulled back his thoughts and looked at the two children in front of him, his eyes flushed red.

The little boy came over with a shabby blanket and asked, "Master, the weather is a little cold, and this blanket is on your lap to ward off the cold." In fact, the girl also has this thought, but she has low self-esteem, feeling that the thin quilt in front of her is a little dirty and has a musty smell, and it is inconvenient to give it to the master, and even in front of the master, she would rather be frozen than wrapped in it.

Pang Qiushui looked at the boy and smiled: "Come here, Master and you will use this blanket together." Pang Qiushui paused, and then said: "Put it quietly, and burn the fire a little more." ”

The little boy was six or seven years old, but he was not afraid of life, so he sat down with Pang Qiushui and put a small blanket horizontally over their laps.

"What's your name, how old are you?" Pang Qiushui asked the little boy.

"I don't have a name, I'm six and a half years old. The boy replied.

"How can there be no name, then how will I call you after being a teacher?" Pang Qiushui asked.

"Every day when I go out early and come home late, I carry a machete for chopping wood around my waist, so others call me a machete, Master, you can call me that, I don't mind. The little boy said.

Pang Qiushui heard from the last four words in the reply, and the little boy was still not satisfied with his title.

"Then Master will help you change your name, are you willing?" Pang Qiushui asked again.

"Hmm!" the little boy nodded sharply.

"Your master's surname is Pang, your name is Yu'er, are you in the middle or not?" Pang Qiushui deliberately used a Henan dialect to tell the little girl in the distance that there is no need to be too rigid between master and apprentice.

The little boy hurriedly shook his head: "Master, this is not appropriate, her name is Sister Yu'er." , how can I have the same name as her?"

"Are you sisters and brothers?" Pang Qiushui asked.

The girl in the distance spoke: "Pingshui meets, takes care of each other, and is like a sister and brother." ”

Pang Qiushui noticed that the girl spoke well, so he asked, "Yu'er, have you ever read?"

"No, I'm just eager to study, so I stole some fur from a private school. The little girl replied, and suddenly the little girl felt that something was wrong, and added, "I still prefer to learn martial arts from Master." ”

"Yu'er, what's your last name?" asked Pang Qiushui.

"My surname is Ran, and my name is Ran Yuer. The little girl replied.

Pang Qiushui's heart was shocked, "Ran" and "Ruan" were similar to the same sound, which made him suddenly think of the late Ruan Wenjun, and then looked at the girl in front of him carefully, and suddenly felt much more cordial: "Okay, since your name is Ran Yu'er, then he can't be called 'Yu'er' anymore." ”

Pang Qiushui stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and then said to the little boy: "Master will help you come up with a majestic name, Pang Firmament, 'Firmament' has the meaning of high and vast sky, this name, do you like it?", in fact, Pang Qiushui gave this name, there are two meanings, one is full of ardent hope for the little boy, and the other is that Pang Qiushui regards Li Shihe and Dou Jingpeng as thorns in the eye and thorns in the flesh, Pang Qiushui thinks that no matter how high Peng He flies, he can't fly out of the palm of the sky after all. But everything changes, there is always something that can tear through the sky, like lightning before a lightning strike, all things are mutually reinforcing, and only justice can be invincible.

"Master, I like this name very much, come, Master, let's high-five. After speaking, the little boy Pang Qiongcang raised his small right hand, and with a "snap", his big hand hit his little hand.

"How old is your sister this year?" Pang Qiushui asked, confirming Ran Yu'er's age, if he reached the age of fifteen, he could change his name to Ran Jingyu, and he didn't want to change the boy's name, he wanted him to be different from other apprentices for the rest of his life, just like he never wanted to change the name of Ruan Wenjun.

"Master, I am thirteen years old this year, and I was born in the year of Jiawu. Ran Yu'er replied to Master.

"Master told you that the names of the Guiyi faction are sorted by age, do you understand? Pang Qiushui looked at the dilapidated and ventilated land temple and asked, "How long have you lived in this temple? There are many land temples near here, why don't you change one?"

"Yes, Brother Mache and I, oh no, it's Senior Brother Firmament, we've been living here for nearly a year, we can't choose a better temple, other beggars will rob it, only this land temple, no one robs it. Ran Yu'er replied.

The second half of the night will be cooler, but the dry firewood picked up is about to burn out, although the wet firewood can also be burned, but the smoke is too heavy, some smoke, so no more wet firewood is added when it is put still.

The next morning, Ran Yuer and Pang Qiongcang got up early, because they got used to it, most people would think that the reason why beggars are beggars is because they are too lazy and don't love to work, so they will have no income and beg for a living every day, in fact, this sentence only applies to healthy adult beggars, and is not suitable for children, little beggars are very hardworking, they have to get up early every day to grab a place and occupy a position, and some also need to draw some patterns they have learned on the ground where they beg, wishing the donor a good life and health, good fortune, early birds have worms to eat, and early beggars get the most alms, and only rely on enough alms to live。

Nearly twenty of Pang Qiushui's apprentices were awakened by Ran Yu'er and Pang Qiongcang, but they didn't complain about the two, and Pang Qiushui was even a little happy, because they were going to Lijiazhuang to find an old swordsman surnamed Tang.

Jing Fang took out a lot of rice cakes from the package, which was branded by Shi Niang, crispy and delicious, and gave some to the two newly accepted junior sisters and junior brothers, Ran Yuer and Pang Qiongcang ate such delicious rice cakes for the first time, and stuffed them into their mouths in big gulps, Pang Qiushui only had one look, and he understood everything, and his expression was exactly the same as when he went to Yinshan for the first time and ate white rice. After the twenty masters and apprentices had eaten enough, they continued to hurry, and because they were carrying a seven-year-old child, it took a half-day walk to find Tang Yuan, who was basking in the sun in the yard.

Tang Yuan is very old, he has already withdrawn from the rivers and lakes for many years, in his eyes, Pang Qiushui can only be regarded as a newcomer to the rivers and lakes, so he doesn't know Pang Qiushui, so he asked: "You are looking for me, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Pang Qiushui saw that the old swordsman did not know him, and was very happy, if the swordsman knew that he was here to seek revenge, the matter would be very tricky, so Pang Qiushui decided to deceive the old man in front of him: "Old man......"

"Slow down!" Tang Yuan interrupted Pang Qiushui's words, "Please call me a swordsman, I have been a swordsman for half my life, I use knives as weapons, I have a little success in swordsmanship, and I am chivalrous and righteous, I can be regarded as a qualified swordsman, okay, you can continue!"

"This swordsman. ”

"The surname is Tang!"

"Tang Daoke, I used to be Li Shihe's master, and taught him swordsmanship for a few days, but now the affairs of the gang are complicated, I want him to be my right and left hand, and assist me in achieving great things. Pang Qiushui tried his best to suppress his anger and be polite.

"Then you're ......," Tang Yuan took a sip of tea and continued, "Find the wrong person." ”

Tang Yuan was an old man who was well-informed, and he could see Pang Qiushui's dissatisfaction with him at a glance, and said slowly: "He'er has a father and a mother, and it's ridiculous that you don't look for them but look for me." At this time, Tang Yuan still didn't know Pang Qiushui's true intentions.

Pang Qiushui thought to himself, what the old swordsman said was right, he was only looking for Li Shihe, so he didn't look back when he hit the south wall, but he forgot that Li Shihe still had parents, as long as he restrained his parents, Li Shihe would inevitably send them to the door.

Pang Qiushui peeked at the old swordsman, who was still buried in the drum at this time, so he asked as humbly as possible: "Tang swordsman, where do their parents live?"

"Not far, three miles away, all the way south, there is a river in front of the door, there are many peach trees planted on the bank, and there are two stone lions in front of the door, huh...... Also, the gate is the highest, widest, and most luxurious, and it is written that the Li Mansion is his house. Tang Yuan said.

"Thank you Tang Daoke, I am grateful. There was a subtle evil light in Pang Qiushui's eyes, especially the last four words of the words hidden murderous intent.

So the twenty masters and apprentices left Tang Yuan's place and went to Li Shihe's house in a mighty way, Pang Qiushui thought to himself that even if it was a rich and noble family, no matter how many families there were, they were not his opponents, and this time they just recognized the door and did not fight.

When he arrived at Li Shihe's house, Tang Daoke did not lie, this was the most prosperous residence he had seen along the way from Dao Hakka, the stone lion in the town house to ward off evil spirits was noble and majestic, and the wall of the courtyard was also very spacious, but the gate was closed, and a rusty lock turned away the twenty of them. After inquiring, I learned that Li Shihe's father had resigned and retired two years ago, some people said that he had offended people, and some people said that Li's father was clean and self-conscious, and he did not want to go with the same stream.

The fact is that Li Shihe did not tell his parents the reason three years ago, and went to Fusang alone, which broke the hearts of his parents, so Li's father resigned two years ago, dismissed the domestic servants, and lived in seclusion with his wife, not asking about the world, Li's father has a strong self-esteem and is unwilling to keep in touch with this son, Li Shihe himself only knows that his parents settled in Saiwai, but there is no way to know where they are, and his mother also wants to give Li Shihe a lesson, so that he who likes to wander away understands a truth, when he is injured outside, only home is the holy place of healing, and then he will do everything possible to find the place where his parents live, which is both a lesson, which is also an experience of his growth.

Pang Qiushui and his entourage ate a closed door, the world is so big, where to find Li Shihe's parents, they can only start from the old swordsman, so the master and apprentice returned to Tang Yuan's residence unhappy.
