Chapter 3 Encounters

Li Haoran walked outside the cave only to find that the clouds and mist on the cliff had dissipated, the golden sunlight in the early morning was quietly sprinkled at the entrance of the cave, and a gust of wind was blowing, Li Haoran couldn't help yawning and stretched. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info, but it's a stomach that growls and growls. After looking around, I saw that the cave was on a small peak, surrounded by steep walls, and there was no road. Li Haoran had to find a relatively gentle direction and slowly climbed the rocks and trees to go down.

After about a cup of tea, the mountain gradually calmed down, and Li Haoran saw some pheasants and hares in the forest. However, he didn't have the heart to hunt and kill, so he picked some wild fruits in the woods and put some in his baggage, and then looked at the direction of the sun and walked down the mountain.

Touching the bone book in his arms, he silently recited a "White Cloud Jingtian" decision in his heart, and Li Haoran's mood to join the Ruihua Sect became even more urgent. Now that he has the cultivation method and the law, he is just one person who guides him to feel the vitality of heaven and earth, and then he can embark on the path of cultivation, and then he can avenge his parents, thinking of this, Li Haoran only felt that his whole body was hot, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and he ran through the forest.

This way was so fast, and he ran straight to the road he walked yesterday, and then Li Haoran stopped, sat on a big rock on the side of the road, and kept panting and resting. At this moment, Li Haoran suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and Li Haoran couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, after all, it was good to be able to see other people in this deep mountain and old forest, at least he wouldn't feel so lonely. At that moment, he looked in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came from, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, and after a while, he saw more than a dozen horsemen with a burst of yellow dust appear in the field of vision. From a distance, it seemed that all the horses were men, and each of them was carrying a large cloth bag on the horse. It must be some merchants! Li Haoran thought so, and wondered if he could take me on some journeys.

Li Haoran stood on the boulder and watched the horse team get closer and closer, but the strong sunlight dazzled him a little. When the caravan approached, he saw the man on the horse in front of him, and he fell down on the stone in shock. No matter how Li Haoran is just a sixteen-year-old child, it is really difficult for him to accept the great sorrow after the great joy.

It turned out that this person was Wang Tianhu, who chased Li Haoran to the sky yesterday and finally forced him to jump off the cliff. Wang Tianhu was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Haoran, then laughed, pulled out a long knife from his back, flew down from his horse, and the long knife slashed towards Li Haoran's head. Although Li Haoran was unacceptable to what was happening in front of him, he still subconsciously rolled to the side to avoid the long knife from Wang Tianhu when he saw the long knife coming.

"When" the long knife looked at the boulder, the stone chips were splashing, Wang Tianhu saw Li Haoran dodging, and with a "hey" in his mouth, the long knife in his hand slashed towards Li Haoran's shoulder. At this time, the two were already very close, and Li Haoran had just rolled to the side when the old force was exhausted, and when the new force was not born, this knife could not be dodged, and when he saw the long knife splitting, he could only instinctively raise his hand to block.

"Big brother, be merciful!" only to hear a loud shout, and then a spear reached out to hold Wang Tianhu's big knife. The big knife stopped above Li Haoran's arm. Li Haoran escaped death and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and when he looked ahead, he saw a middle-aged man holding a spear to block Wang Tianhu's big knife. At this time, everyone else rode over and surrounded Li Haoran.

I saw that Wang Tianhu was stopped by this person and was not angry, he took back the big knife and only looked at the middle-aged man slightly strangely and said, "What's the matter? Second brother, do you know this kid?"

The man shook his head and looked at Li Haoran and chuckled: "I don't know him, but I guess he should be the kid that the eldest brother said yesterday!" Wang Tianhu carried the big knife and said: "It's this kid, I thought he was dead when I saw him fall off the cliff yesterday, but I didn't expect it to be so fateful, but after all, he still hit me." He smiled proudly as he spoke, and then asked, "But second brother, why did you stop me from teaching this hateful boy a lesson?"

The man smiled bitterly and said, "We must find a hundred boys and girls within three days, and I just think that this boy can be counted as satisfying the requirements! If we find a hundred within three days, then this boy will naturally be at your disposal, and if there are not a hundred, it will be very bad! ”

Wang Tianhu patted his head and suddenly realized: "I forgot about this stubble, thanks to the second brother, you reminded me! The man said modestly, and stood aside. Only then did Wang Tianhu turn his head to Li Haoran and said, "Boy, you'd better be honest." Otherwise, you will have to suffer. After speaking, he turned his head to a thin man and said, "Old Five, you come and take him." ”

Li Haoran listened to a few people decide his fate with just a few words, but he didn't take himself seriously, and his heart was full of anger. But I also know that the situation is stronger than people now, and it's good to hear what they mean that they won't easily take their lives. Let's bear with it for the time being, find a chance to escape, and only if we live can we have hope.

The old five rode over, and the whip in his right hand stretched out and rolled towards Li Haoran, Li Haoran didn't move, so he let him roll up, and suddenly felt that his body rose into the air and flew towards the fifth child. The fifth general Li Haoran approached, quickly stretched out his left hand, and tapped Li Haoran a few times, then grabbed the robe on Li Haoran's back and lifted him up and placed him behind him. Fortunately, the old five are relatively thin, and this horse can accommodate a large cloth bag and two people.

Wang Tianhu saw that the fifth general Li Haoran grabbed and said: "Go, go back to the village!" After speaking, he rode his horse forward, and the rest of the people followed in turn. Li Haoran only felt that after being pointed at by the old five a few times, his whole body couldn't move, knowing that this person was using the acupoint technique in the martial arts, and he was not very afraid. But it was very uncomfortable for the body to be so horizontal, especially when the horse was running on this rugged mountain road, he trembled so much that his bones fell apart, and his stomach turned over and over, and what was even worse was that his head kept shaking up and down with the horse's body, and he slowly became dizzy and fainted.

There is no light, only darkness, or complete nothingness. Forget this world, forget this life, forget me...... Myself. It only feels like something is approaching, or it is approaching something, what voice is crying, what is it murmuring? Is it still the ghost of the boundless hell? Or is it the spirit of the endless abyss? I don't know, because everything is nothing, and there is no end......

Suddenly I felt a little cold on my forehead, maybe it was my forehead! This coolness came so suddenly, and it made people feel that the real was no longer empty, and I couldn't help but feel comfortable "um". But this coolness disappeared suddenly as if frightened, and Li Haoran frowned dissatisfiedly and then opened his eyes.

In front of me was a little girl about thirteen or fourteen years old dressed in a white cardigan skirt, sitting on the ground with her hands and knees, looking at Li Haoran timidly, seeing Li Haoran suddenly open her eyes, her face was happy, and then her cheeks were slightly red and she lowered her head. The sunlight shining from nowhere quietly sprinkled on her hands, and there was some crystal.

"You're finally awake. A slightly happy voice came from the side.

Li Haoran turned his head to look, but it was a black-clothed young man about the same age as himself. The young man saw Li Haoran turn his head and said with a smile and whispered: "They all said that you were dead, far away, just my sister insisted that you were not dead, and touched your head with her hand dipped in water, but I didn't expect you to really wake up." Hearing this, Li Haoran turned his head to look at the little girl and said, "Thank you." "There was some hoarseness in the voice.

The little girl lowered her head a little crampedly and said softly: "It's nothing, when I was sick and felt like I was going to die, my mother did it." ”

"Oh. Li Haoran answered, and then began to look at where he was. It was a rudimentary house made of boulders, with only a door in the middle of the front wall, no windows, but there were many gaps between the boulders on all sides. Sunlight poured in through the gap on the left side of the wall, making the room a little hot, especially when there were two dozen or so children squatting or sitting in the room. Fortunately, there are a few buckets of water in various corners of the room, which lowers the temperature a little. The twenty or so children may not be more than fifteen years old, and the youngest is only seven or eight years old, and now they are all squatting on the ground, some dazed, some crying in low voices. This should be Tianwangzhai, I don't know what they want to do with so many children?

Li Haoran struggled to sit up, but found that his whole body was sore, and the black-clothed young man next to him hurriedly helped him and let him lean against the wall. Li Haoran nodded at him and arched his hand: "Thank you, my name is Li Haoran, and I didn't ask my brother Taigui's surname." ”

The black-clothed young man saw that Li Haoran knew Wen Xiaoli so well at a young age, and his heart suddenly felt close, so he sat down and bowed his hand and saluted back: "Your surname is not daring, and the next surname is Su Mingchi, and the character is Ping." Then he pointed to the little girl next to him and said: "This is the housesister Su Qingqing, the former one is 'raising eyebrows and turning sleeves like snow flying, and the city is independent of the world', and the latter is 'sparse shadow and horizontal slope water is shallow'." As he spoke, he squeezed his eyes at Li Haoran and said, "Self-named 'Yixing Jushi'." ”

"Brother!" Su Tianqing looked at Su Chi with wide eyes and exclaimed, seeing Li Haoran and the two turning their heads to look at her, their pretty faces suddenly turned red, extending to the root of their ears, and they buried their heads in their knees with an "ah" sound, leaving a green silk hanging down.

Li Haoran and Su Chi looked at each other, and then they both chuckled, Li Haoran knew that this should be the words of the brother and sister when they usually played, and now Su Chi said it to himself, a strange boy who met for the first time, which naturally made Su Qian ashamed of himself, so he coughed and said: "'I also yearn for the realm of 'Ju Huaiyi Xing Zhuang Si Fei, wanting to go to the blue sky and catch the bright moon'." Su Tianqing moved his head lightly and did not raise his head.

"I don't know how Brother Su and Sister Ling got here?" Li Haoran saw that Su Tianqing was very shy, so he changed the topic and asked Su Chi.

Su Chi said with a gloomy face: "I live in Qingfeng Village on the eastern side of Baiyun Mountain with Tanqing, and three days ago when we were studying in a private school, a group of people rushed in and brought more than a dozen of our students here in sacks. As he spoke, his eyes turned red and he sobbed. And Su Tianqing next to him was even more trembling and crying.

Li Haoran thought that they were scared when they remembered the scene at that time, so he comforted: "Don't worry, your parents haven't seen you go back for so long, they will definitely report to the officials, and the officers and soldiers will definitely come to save you at that time." How did the brother and sister cry even more when they heard Li Haoran's words.

Li Haoran looked at the appearance of the two of them and was suddenly at a loss, he didn't know where he said it wrong, so he had to look at the two apologetically. Seeing Li Haoran's appearance, Su Chi wiped the tears on his face with his sleeve, and said with a little choked: "It's rude, it's just that my father and mother have been killed by this group of robbers." ”

"Ahh......h I'm sorry. Li Haoran can understand the mood of the brother and sister at this time, and can't help but feel a sense of sympathy.

Su Chi took a breath, stopped crying, and said, "That private school was set up by my father and mother, and I was harmed in order to protect the students of the private school from escaping and stop this group of robbers." Li Haoran was shocked in his heart, and stood up with pain all over his body. Su Chi didn't know what he was going to do, so he hurriedly supported him, and Su Tianqing also raised his head slightly to look at him. Li Haoran waved his hand lightly, signaling that Su Chi did not need to be helped, and then stood up straight, clasped his fists with both hands and said to the two brothers and sisters: "Ling Zun, Ling Tang Gaoyi's little brother admires inexplicably. In this world, treachery and evil reign, but it is precisely with characters like uncles and aunts that justice does not fall. ”

The two brothers and sisters of the Su family were originally baffled by Li Haoran's actions, but after hearing his righteous words, they couldn't help but feel warm in their hearts. Su Chi sighed: "I didn't expect Brother Haoran to have such insight at such a young age, but I fell behind." My father often taught me and my sister to live in the world, to do something and not to do something, not to live for a hundred years, but to return the world to righteousness. If he is still alive, he will be a lifelong confidant when he meets you. ”

Although Li Haoran said impassionedly, he was also a little sad when he heard this, and suddenly his heart moved: "Why don't we bow down." Su Chi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then applauded, and a glimmer of brilliance flashed in Su Tianqing's eyes. Li Haoran used to worship each other very much for the like-minded heroes in the play, although he is now in prison, but after meeting Su Chi after a few words, he feels that his temperament is very similar, and the experience of Su Chi's brothers and sisters is similar to his own, so he naturally has a sense of closeness. In addition, the loneliness of the road for more than a year also made him want to have some close people to make him no longer so lonely in this world. So he made such a suggestion, and he was very happy to see Su Chi agree.

The three of them didn't know exactly what to do, so they learned to watch the appearance in the play, and knelt on the ground together and raised their right palms under the surprised eyes of the children around them.

"I'm Su Chi, and I'm seventeen years old. ”

"I, Li Haoran, am sixteen years old this year. ”

Su Tianqing also said crisply: "I, Su Tianqing, am fourteen years old this year. ”

The three looked at each other and smiled and said together: "Today, we will become brothers and sisters of the opposite sex, and we will support each other in the future, share blessings and difficulties!"

The three of them clapped their hands, clasped their hands together and stood up, Li Haoran shouted: "Big brother!" Su Chi also said happily: "Second brother." Then Li Haoran shouted at Su Tianqing again: "Little sister." Su Tianqing's cheeks were slightly red and said, "Second brother." Li Haoran responded with a smile.

Su Chi took out an emerald green inkstone from his arms, handed it to Li Haoran and said, "The eldest brother is poor, there is nothing good to give you, this is an inkstone carved by my father, I will hand it over to you now." Although Su Chi is not an elder, but now this inkstone is a gift of righteousness, and Li Haoran is not easy to refuse, so he has to take the inkstone in his hands with both hands.

It felt a little heavy in my hand, and a cold breath was transmitted from the inkstone to the palm of my hand. The whole inkstone is square and slightly inclined to the oval, only to see the inkstone carved out a few green bamboos with relief carving techniques, it seems verdant, and the bottom of the bamboo is a pond as an ink pond. The blank space on the left side of the bamboo is engraved with the words "Cultivation and cultivation are out of class, and the resignation is humble and refuses to be thick." There is a verse of heaven and heaven, without heart and emptiness". Looking at this inkstone, Li Haoran couldn't help but yearn for Su Chi's father and asked, "I didn't ask my uncle's name." Su Chi said: "My father Su Shouzheng." Li Haoran bowed his hand in respect.

Li Haoran was embarrassed to accept Su Chi's inkstone, took out a white jade pendant tied with a thin red rope in his arms, walked to Su Tianqing's side and said, "Little sister, I don't have anything good to give you." I have carried this jade pendant with me since I was a child, so I will give it to you now. Su Tianqing's face turned red, and he didn't know what to do, so he looked at Su Chi at a loss. Li Haoran saw her look in his eyes, and he smiled and directly stuffed the jade pendant into her hand. Su Tianqing was so frightened that she let out the jade pendant, but fortunately, she reacted very quickly, and retracted her palm to hold the rope on the jade pendant and looked at Su Chi pitifully.

Li Haoran is still young, and he is the only boy in the family, although he knows books and etiquette, and has something to say, but he doesn't take the defense of men and women very seriously. And Su Tianqing is different, although she is younger, but because she is a woman and has an older brother at home, her father, who is just guarding the square, naturally transmitted to her the concept of not kissing men and women since she was a child. So at this time, I was naturally taken aback by Li Haoran's intimate action. Su Chi naturally knew the reason for this, knew that Li Haoran had no malicious intentions, and just wanted to ask his sister to accept the jade pendant, but suddenly found that this jade pendant was very extraordinary, not like what ordinary people could have, so he muttered: "Second brother, this jade pendant ......."

Li Haoran naturally saw Su Chi's concerns, so he said: "Don't hide it from my eldest brother, my father used to be the governor of Xuanhuo Country. This pair surprised the two brothers and sisters a little, Su Chi said: "Then second brother, how can you ......" Li Haoran naturally understood that he was asking himself, how could the son of the Xuanhuo Country Zhizhou come to Baiyun Mountain in this Cangmu Country to catch a group of bandits? Thinking of the past, Li Haoran's heart was slightly astringent, but he had slowly accepted everything that had happened for more than a year. So Li Haoran asked the two to sit down together, and slowly told the two of them about his experience, but he hid the part where he met Bai Yunzi, not that he couldn't trust Su Chi and his sisters, but he promised Bai Yunzi not to tell the matter.
