Later, he had to become a beggar, kneeling in front of the door of some rich people's houses after dinner every day, begging them to be able to reward some leftovers, he did not dare to kneel before the meal, others would beat him, others were eating, a dirty and smelly beggar knelt in front of the door, affecting his appetite, and occasionally he could get a reward, he would also gobble it up quickly, otherwise it would be eaten up by the same kind.

Once, Pang Qiushui stole some food from the leftovers that the rich man fed to the dogs, and hid in the corner and was eating, when suddenly four or five little beggars surrounded him.

"The surname is Pang!" The leading beggar shouted loudly, coming to take the lead, wanting to overwhelm Pang Qiushui in momentum, because he had "interacted" with Pang Qiushui before, and knew that this person was a stubborn temper, although there were many people to deal with one person, but there were always companions who would be injured, either their ears were bitten, or their noses were bloodied, if they did not fight and surrendered to the soldiers, so that Pang Qiushui obediently handed over the food, that was the best choice.

Pang Qiushui didn't say a word, nor did he look up at them, he just gobbled up the rice in his small basin, because he knew that as long as he was slow, he would eat less today, and the leader was black and thin, but after all, he was a few years older, taller, and stronger, he grabbed Pang Qiushui's rice bowl, and slammed it hard, and even dragged people with food, and the food was in the hands of the leading beggar, and Pang Qiushui lay on the ground.

"Boss, there are still some slices of meat in the rice. A shorter beggar next to him drooled.

Pang Qiushui stood up: "Give me back the food!" After speaking, he pounced on the leader boss, and the leader quickly dodged, and Pang Qiushui fell to the ground again, falling into a dog and eating.

"You all beat me hard, so that he knows the rules here thoroughly, and as long as I don't have enough to eat, no one wants to eat. The leader said to the four beggars around him.

The four beggars rushed up and punched and kicked Pang Qiushui, who was kicked and rolled over and over on the ground.

"The surname is Guo, you are a dog mongrel, born with broken shoes!" Pang Qiushui scolded more and more fiercely, and even the eighteenth generation of ancestors finally scolded out, but it didn't work, these little beggars had no fathers and no mothers, and they had no feelings for their parents for a long time, and they were even less interested in their ancestors. Pang Qiushui also knew that it was useless, he was beaten so painfully that he scolded.

kicked over again, Pang Qiushui quickly hugged his legs, went up is a mouthful, how much strength he made, no matter how much the other party kicked him and threw him, he just didn't let go, and finally bit off a piece of meat directly, bloody, looking at the mad, the bitten beggar was lying on the ground, holding the bitten part with both hands, even crying, the leader finished eating the rice in the small basin, and slammed into Pang Qiushui's head, the basin is made of iron, and it is also very thin, so it doesn't hurt if it doesn't break, only a "dang" sound.

The leader knelt down, wanting to see how his companion's injuries were, but if he didn't look at it, he was scared out of a cold sweat and was directly torn off a piece of meat, the leader had some experience, and hurriedly tied the upper part of the wound to avoid a lot of bleeding, Pang Qiushui stood up and kicked the leader's back, and then ran away as fast as he could, and before leaving, he also scolded: "You son of bitches, your grandfather, I remember you." ”

The leader didn't chase after him, because it was meaningless, he was used to beating him, it was the same whether he beat him today or tomorrow, they knew where Pang Qiushui lived, in a broken grass house where the owner was seventy or eighty years old and had died not long ago, the leader secretly thought in his heart that he must teach him some lessons. Then he carried the wounded beggar on his back and went nowhere.

It's about to be the third and ninth day of winter, and the weather suddenly turns cold. Pang Qiushui is still the pair of broken single cloth shoes, half of the soles of the soles and toes are exposed, in the long dark night, he was so cold that he couldn't sleep, his heart was sad for a while, from his parents scolded the ancestors, none of them were spared, scolded his parents why he gave birth to him, and scolded the ancestors of the ancestral tomb how not to smoke, Pang Qiushui heard that the sheep can sleep, so the scolding should also be able to sleep, he once again wrapped the broken and unpleasant smell of the broken quilt on his body, this is what he was going to burn when he died, a broken quilt that he begged to leave behind to keep out the cold, the house was full of mice, he was not afraid, but a little relaxedThe sound of rats "chirping" broke the fear of the night.

These days are particularly bad, his left foot was bitten by a snake, and his foot that was already frozen and swollen by the cold was bitten by a snake again, which is undoubtedly worse, his left foot is like a steamed bun, and he limps when he walks, although this snake is not too poisonous and is a chronic poisonous snake, but Pang Qiushui is still in pain, he will squeeze out a large amount of pus every night, and then use the half jar of wine that the owner of the house has not drunk before his death to keep disinfecting, pouring the wine on the wound, how painful, he knows very well, he also knows who put this snake into his broken bed, so he swore to take revenge。

More than 20 days have passed, although his feet are not good, the good slow is mainly because the weather is too cold, and there is no good medicine, but he has been able to walk quickly, so Pang Qiushui came to the residence of the five beggars who bullied him in the dark, these five beggars live in a broken temple, this temple has a lot of flammable materials, such as doors and windows are made of wood, the door beams and all the pillars are also wood, even the roof is made of sorghum stalks, and there are many broken sacks with straw in the temple, so Pang Qiushui decided to burn this broken temple while they were still asleep。

The smoke in the house became thicker and thicker, and several little beggars kept coughing, and finally they were choked up, and the first to wake up was not the leader, it was another beggar, after he woke up, he shook the other four beggars awake, and shouted: "There is a fire, run!" Five beggars and four people ran out, and one beggar who slept in the back did not expect to run the slowerest, and was hit on the head by the falling roof beam, and burned to death in the fire.

This incident sounded the alarm for the remaining four little beggars, and it would be better to provoke Pang Qiushui less in the future. Pang Qiushui finally passed a few peaceful days, but the cold and hunger still plagued Pang Qiushui, Pang Qiushui deeply knew that he was lonely and stubborn, and he had no partners to work with, and he was afraid that being a beggar would only expose the corpse on the street, so Pang Qiushui thought of a trick to go up the mountain to learn the arts.

What is the best mountain, Pang Qiushui has a clear purpose, he is not going to the most famous and powerful mountain with martial arts, but the place where he can eat the most is where he should go. He begged a coachman to go to Yinshan to give him a ride, and finally the coachman saw that he was pitiful and agreed, so Pang Qiushui took the carriage all the way to Yinshan, Pang Qiushui knew that although Yinshan was not very good at martial arts, it was the richest mountain, as the saying goes, "rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, rely on the water to eat the water", the mountains and rivers of Yinshan are staggered, there are endless delicacies of the mountains and seas, Pang Qiushui has already calculated all the way, don't think about how to get ahead in Yinshan, be a low-key person, and eat with a mouthful, this is the experience he got as a beggar, "shoot the first bird".

Starting from the morning and arriving at Yinshan in the afternoon, Pang Qiushui knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the coachman more than a dozen times, and then said goodbye to the coachman and went up to Yinshan, a young man who was not much older than him blocked his way, the young man had a big waist and a round waist, and his face was full of oil, which was exactly what Pang Qiushui wanted to see, Pang Qiushui bowed politely.

"Who are you, what are you doing in Yinshan?" the boy said.

Pang Qiushui, who is eight or nine years old, already knows a lot of etiquette, forced by life, and has also learned to slap the horse, and said flatteringly: "Brother Tai, little brother Pang Qiushui, come to Yinshan to learn art, and hope that Brother Tai will lead the way, the little brother is grateful, and all living beings will remember the kindness of the little brother." ”

The young man heard from Pang Qiushui's tone that Pang Qiushui didn't want to go up the mountain in general, it seemed that he had to go up the mountain, which was clearly fatherless, motherless, and helpless. The young man was even more arrogant, and said to Pang Qiushui with his nostrils: "Yinshan is not something that cats and dogs can come in, so there should be something left." ”

Pang Qiushui immediately understood what the young man meant, he needed to leave the most valuable things on his body to the young man before he could go up the mountain, Pang Qiushui thought about it, he was a beggar, how could he have anything valuable, and said in fear: "The little brother has been strapped for money recently, and there is nothing that can be handled, so when I stay in Yinshan, will there be less things to honor you in the future?"

The young man sneered: "Who knows if you are the one who crossed the river and demolished the bridge, unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, to tell you the truth, I have seen a lot of this kind of person." ”

Pang Qiushui laughed in his heart: How old are you, how much of the world can you see, it is better to lie to you, Pang Qiushui put his hand into the clothes on his chest, rubbed it violently, rubbed it off, rubbed off a round mud egg, let his back turn around and bite his fingers, and dyed the mud egg dark red.

"What did you turn around and do?" the boy scolded angrily.

Pang Qiushui turned around slowly: "I want to offer a treasure to my brother." ”

When the young man heard that there was a treasure, his face was happy, after all, the young man's heart would not be blocked. But Pang Qiushui has lived in the market for a long time, and he is very good at observing words and colors, and when he saw that there was an opportunity, he hunched his waist and walked over, and even changed his title: "Big brother, this is 'Yulu Health Pill', the weather is wet and cold, some tides, after eating, the small poison can be cured, the big poison can be restricted, and it will no longer be printed and dyed, if you don't believe it, you can see that my foot has been bitten by a poisonous snake, and after eating a 'Yulu Health Pill', it will be fine." After speaking, Pang Qiushui took off his shoes and raised his feet, so that the young man could see what was going on, and sure enough, there were two marks of poisonous snake bites.

The young man was convinced, grabbed the mud balls with one hand, and swallowed it violently: "The taste is not very good, a little stinky, a little salty, are you expired." ”

"It won't expire, the reason why it smells and salty, the reason is obvious, and good medicine will not be palatable. Pang Qiushui deceived and explained.
