Chapter 2 The Beginning of Trouble
At this time, a person on the mountain road said loudly while walking: "Heh, it's really a good means, but it's a pity that it's just a bully, but it's the opposite of chivalry." It's a pity!"
Old man Qin asked knowingly, "What is a pity?"
This husband is a handsome person, his clothes are very luxurious, he looks like a noble son, but the style of his clothes is not wide robes and big sleeves, which is more convenient to move.
The minister smiled and said: "I said it's a pity, it's a pity that your old man has all his skills, but he doesn't practice chivalry, it's a pity!"
Old man Qin said: "What kind of chivalrous way, most of the people who sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, I listen to it like a shovel scraping an iron pot, and a donkey screams in the middle of the night, and I have to listen to a few dog barks to feel better." ”
Fang Xiaodao glanced at Old Man Qin and said, "Grandpa, the barking of a dog is quite ugly." ”
Old man Qin said: "That's also different, do you prefer to listen to the barking of a donkey or the barking of a dog?"
Fang Xiaodao said: "I don't like it." ”
Old man Qin glared at him and said, "Let's go, I don't go out to see if it's not appropriate to go out today, I met some people who were unhappy." ”
Fang Xiaodao and Old Man Qin were about to leave, and the person behind them said fairly: "Slow, the two of you are murderous and hurt people, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to leave like this!"
Old Man Qin looked back at him and said, "I've seen a lot of families living by the river, and your family also lives by the river?"
The minister didn't understand the meaning, although he was a little puzzled, but the look was clearly nosy.
"My family doesn't live by the river, but I am responsible, in the next autumn song, the county catches the head. ”
Even if the head catcher is not an official at all, it is not something that the common people can afford to provoke, not to mention that the third class of the official is not a guy who eats meat and does not spit out bones.
Old man Qin looked at Qiu Song, turned around and looked at Fang Xiaodao again, but Fang Xiaodao had an expression that you were all in trouble, and he didn't mean to say a few good words at all.
Old man Qin said: "Yo, it turned out to be the autumn catcher, this is a big disrespect!"
Qiu Song smiled: "You are bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, why didn't you be so polite to this son just now!"
The son, who had been wailing on the ground for a while, was finally so frightened by Old Man Qin that he didn't dare to squeak, and when he saw that someone was standing up for him, he said loudly: "Grab it, hit the board, this old man really has no law." ”
Old man Qin originally wanted to be soft, but at this time, he became even more angry and shouted, "Damn, don't be ashamed of your face." After speaking, he strode and took a step towards the son, and Fang Xiaodao hurriedly stopped him and said, "Grandpa, you are not angry, it is not enough." ”
Old man Qin patted Fang Xiaodao and said, "Yes, use a knife to kill chickens, you go and give this pus-bag a nine-fold bone chain that can't survive or something." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "We have this trick?"
Old man Qin waved his hand and said, "Why not, breaking his bones into nine pieces, isn't it just breaking nine chains of bones!"
Qiu Song saw that the two of them were simply unsightly, and said angrily: "Dare, in front of this head catcher, he still dares to be fierce and boldly disrupt the people." ”
Old man Qin didn't reply: "A head catcher is not an official, and he is really not afraid of being embarrassed when he makes such a loud noise." ”
Qiu Song was despised, how could he endure it, jumped up from the ground, and a somersault fell in front of the old man Qin, blocking the injured man: "There is Qiu here, don't think about it." ”
Old man Qin said with a smile: "Grandson, if I do it, it will be a big bully, you go and teach him a lesson, let him know that it hurts to be nosy." ”
Fang Xiaodao said helplessly: "Grandpa, what are you doing here, I don't think people want you to do anything about it, it's really your fault to beat others!"
Qiu Song said: "Don't talk well, your grandparents and grandchildren are all raccoon dogs, Qiu will never listen to you and give up." ”
Old man Qin said: "Look, people don't appreciate it, what else do you want?"
Fang Xiaodao said: "Qiu Zhutou, my grandfather is not very good-tempered, this son is riding a horse on a rampage, he is afraid that the horse will hurt people, so he will make a move." If you only listen to one side of the story, I'm afraid you'll be biased!"
Qiu Song said: "Hmph, a slap can beat a horse like that, and naturally it can be easily dodged, why don't you dodge it and hurt people?"
Old man Qin shouted: "I will fight if I like to fight, what does it matter to you?"
Qiu Song said: "I think, I still take you back to the prison, and after the torture, I will see that you are still not honest." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "Autumn catcher, such a trivial matter is not enough!"
Qiu Song sneered: "Even if you beg me now, it's useless." As he spoke, he reached out and tore the knife.
Fang Xiaodao subconsciously stretched out his hand to push, but pushed Qiu Song back two steps.
Qiu Song was taken aback, and Fang Xiaodao stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, I missed it." ”
Qiu Song gritted his teeth and said, "Look at the fight." After speaking, he hit Fang Xiaodao's face door with a heavy fist.
Fang Xiaodao frowned, leaned to one side, his head followed sideways to dodge, and with both hands, he firmly grasped Qiu Song's arm.
Qiu Song struggled hard, but found that this kid who was several years younger than himself had amazing strength, and he couldn't break free.
Fang Xiaodao smiled kindly and said, "Qiu Zhutou, how about everyone stop?" After speaking, he let go of Qiu Song's arm.
Qiu Song shook his arm, and looked at Fang Xiaodao, he was still too careless, in his impression, there could be no martial arts masters in a small place like Huahe Town, and there were a few rivers and lakes.
Old man Qin said: "Hmph, your subordinates may not appreciate others if they show mercy, and I don't know why you are so stupid, it's really a shame for Lao Tzu." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "Qiu Zhutou, you won't deal with an unreasonable old man, right?"
Qiu Song's heart moved, even if he could win against this kid, he could still win against that old guy, but if the two of them went together, I am afraid that Qiu Song would be completely planted today.
Qiu Song said: "For the sake of fellow martial artists, I won't care about it today, and I will do this kind of bullying thing in the future, don't blame Qiu for not being emotional." ”
Old man Qin sneered: "Hey, it's really a big face, it's still ...... if you can't beat it." Just as he was about to continue, Old Man Qin looked at Fang Xiaodao's face and swallowed the remaining half of the sentence back.
Fang Xiaodao said: "Qiu Zhutou, I'm really sorry, my grandfather is a person who likes to have a hard mouth." ”
Qiu Song's face was not very good-looking, and he waved his hand and said, "Don't say it, see you another day." After saying that, he turned around and ignored the man who fell off his horse, but took a step and left.
Old Man Qin looked at Fang Xiaodao and said, "You are really a Bodhisattva, but unfortunately a mud Bodhisattva, do you know what he means by saying goodbye another day?"
Fang Xiaodao said: "That's politeness, how could he want to see us again!"
Old man Qin said: "Stupid boy, what that sentence means, come to us another day to settle accounts, otherwise do you think he can really swallow a mouthful of breath as if nothing happened?"
Fang Xiaodao said: "If it weren't for grandpa, I wouldn't be like this today." With that, he took a step to the right, blocking the injured man behind him.
Old Man Qin smiled: "If you open a good hall, it may be quite good." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "Let's go, are you still going?"
Old man Qin waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go to the top of the mountain, where the wind is strong, just blow the bad luck." ”
From a distance, Fujiyama is a solitary peak surrounded by verdant, and the terrain is also relatively dangerous. But Fang Xiaodao and Old Man Qin had come many times, and they climbed to the top of the mountain with ease.
Old man Qin sat down, took off a chicken leg and said, "Grandson, what's wrong with you, you have been looking quite depressed since the beginning of winter?"
Fang Xiaodao said: "I don't." ”
Old man Qin said: "What don't you have, you are your grandfather and I am blind, I will almost be a daughter like you when I am your age." ”
Fang Xiaodao turned around and said, "Oh, is it?"
Old Man Qin completely ignored Fang Xiaodao's curious eyes and said, "This is normal, you must know that everyone will think of spring." The so-called knowing lust and admiring Shaoai, most of these things make people worried, but when you grow up, you will see it, and you will naturally have a lot less sorrow when you see it. ”
Fang Xiaodao smiled: "Grandpa, how was he sad before?"
Old man Qin's face was full of vicissitudes, and he smiled a little more childishly: "At that time, your grandfather also wanted you to be handsome and good-looking, and every time you traveled, you would provoke a lot of big girls and little daughters-in-law to watch! However, your grandfather and I are not the kind of people with very low vision, I fell in love with a girl in the neighbor's house, that girl baby, she looks gentle and moving, although it is a small jasper, but it is also a flow of life! So, your grandfather and I go to their house every day as a guest, and my family was a famous rich man at that time. So the neighbors were also very happy to be able to climb such a family business, and I naturally became more unscrupulous. That's really, the boy is carefree, accompanied by beautiful women, so happy!"
Fang Xiaodao looked at him with a very nostalgic expression, and asked, "What about later?"
Old Man Qin's expression changed, and he turned into pain and said: "Later, something happened to my family, and I became nothing, I left home alone to earn a living, and when I came back, she was already married to another woman, and she had already married a pearl child." So, I left home and never went back. ”
Fang Xiaodao was silent, for fear of revealing the old man's wounds.
Old Man Qin sighed and said, "This is just a regret when I was a teenager, I was young at that time and didn't know much about things, but I just had some regrets when I recalled it." If you want to talk about the affairs of men and women, the most painful thing is the yin and yang, and fate is tricked. ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "Grandpa, have you experienced it?"
Old Man Qin looked at Fang Xiaodao and said, "Grandpa's life experience is wonderful, happy and hateful, proud, and has also experienced some bad things. In the end, whether it is happy or not, it becomes a waste. ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "Then, what is the happiest thing about grandpa, I often hear people say that there are four happy events in life, you should have experienced a lot!"
Old man Qin said: "I don't dare to say a lot, there is nowhere to talk about those things, so it's better not to say it." ”
Fang Xiaodao didn't speak, looked at the scenery under the mountain, and lowered his head.
Old Man Qin took in Fang Xiaodao's performance and silently began to calculate.
Two days later, in Huahe Town, at the door of Qiu's house, an old man dressed in coarse cloth clothes, with white hair and beard, sat not far from the door. After a while, the old man went to the back of the courtyard and was never seen again.
Xiao Ying gave Miss Qiu Guoqiu a bowl of ginseng soup and walked out, and suddenly an old man with a black face and white hair stood in front of her. Xiao Ying was about to speak, who thought that the old man moved very quickly, covered her mouth, and pulled her to the garden where there was no one behind.
The old man said, "Don't scream, I don't have any malicious intent, I'm just here to ask you a few words." ”
Xiao Ying had to nod.
The old man let go of her and said, "Do you know a man named Fang Xiaodao?"
Xiao Ying nodded and said: "I know, I have come to the house to do carpentry, and I am also very good." ”
The old man said, "I'm his grandfather, are you relieved?"
Xiao Ying smiled: "You are Brother Fang's grandfather, of course he is not a bad person, but I haven't seen him for a long time, I don't know how he has been lately." ”
The old man looked at Xiao Ying, and thought to himself, although this girl is not outstanding in appearance, but her personality is very likable!
Old man Qin smiled: "It's good, it's not good. ”
Xiao Ying said: "Ah, is he sick?"
Old man Qin nodded and said, "Yes, he is indeed sick, and it is lovesickness, and there is no cure for this disease!"
Xiao Ying said: "Lovesickness, does Brother Fang like that girl?" she seemed a little lonely when she spoke.
Old man Qin said: "Yes, he has taken a fancy to a girl, but I don't know who he has a crush on." I think he has been to your Qiu family, and he may fall in love with the girl of the Qiu family. So I ask you, which girl from your Qiu family does he know?"
Xiao Ying shook his head and said: "He doesn't know anyone, he has been working outside, there are female dependents inside, he has never come in, he has only seen Mrs." ”
Old Man Qin frowned and said, "Hasn't he seen other girls in your family?"
Xiao Ying said: "There is only one young lady in the Qiu family, the young lady has never seen Brother Fang, who else will come, he may have seen the girls, but he is only familiar with me." ”
Old man Qin said, "Oh, so that's the case, so what will he do to you?"
Xiao Ying said: "Brother Fang is very good to people and likes to laugh. ”
Old Man Qin looked at Xiao Ying and said, "Well, good." ”
Old man Qin left the Qiu family, went around to the front, and looked at the gate of the Qiu family. At this time, someone I knew happened to come over.
Qiu Song's eyes were extremely red when he saw Old Man Qin, and he shouted, "Old man, what are you looking at?"
Old Man Qin sneered, "What's your business?"
Qiu Song said: "You are staring at my family, I suspect that you are plotting against me, why does it have nothing to do with me." ”
Old man Qin said: "Then, you can rest assured, I have no ill will towards your family, and I will move around often in the future!"
Qiu Song said, "What did you say?"
Old man Qin smiled: "Hehe, nothing?"
Qiu Song said: "You, you deceive people too much, today I see how you spread wild." After saying that, he took a knife and was about to cut it down.
Old man Qin was motionless, and suddenly took the knife and was snatched away, but it was a slender squire who was full of energy.
The squire reproached: "The visitor is a guest, and you are doing it to your seniors at the door of your house, which is just nonsense." ”
Old man Qin looked at the squire and said, "Look, this is the way of hospitality." ”
The squire smiled and said, "Old man, the dog is rude, I hope you don't be surprised, please come to the house and drink a cup of tea!"
Old man Qin said: "No, I'll come to visit another day, this will not be busy first." ”
The squire smiled: "It's okay, then sweep the couch and treat each other." ”
Old man Qin nodded with satisfaction, and the old god left.
Qiu Song watched him leave, and said angrily: "Dad, look at him like that." ”
This squire is Qiu Song's father, named Qiu Fenglan.
Qiu Fenglan suddenly turned around and said, "Shut up, do you know who he is, you Lao Tzu and you are not half of his opponents." ”
Qiu Song was surprised: "I think it's also ordinary!"
Qiu Fenglan said: "Go in and say, you can't imagine this person." ”
Old man Qin left, and he didn't know that he was recognized by Qiu Fenglan, he had been living in seclusion with an orphan for so many years, and he didn't think that anyone in Huahe Town would recognize him. In fact, he himself has long stopped treating himself as the person he was back then, just as a country carpenter, and he depends on Fang Xiaodao for his life.
Old man Qin's name is Qin Bugui, if you take this name to the martial arts to inquire, it will make many people creepy. When it comes to this name, many people will think of killing people like hemp, and the swordsmanship is superb. He is a ruthless person in the eyes of outsiders, but Fang Xiaodao is a kind grandfather in his eyes.
From this time, the root of the curse has been buried, but Qin Bugui is wise but ignorant of it.
Old man Qin returned home and shouted loudly, "Little knife, grandpa is back." ”
After calling out and no one answered, Old Man Qin went around looking for it.
Fang Xiaodao held a sword in his hand, standing under the tree behind the house, his eyes closed, as if an old monk was in a trance, with one hand behind his back.
Old Man Qin didn't bother, and after a while, Fang Xiaodao suddenly opened his eyes, and the long sword in his hand swung up, turning into a streamer of light and stabbing at the big tree. When he was unable to strike, his sword stopped on the tree but did not pierce it.
Old Man Qin walked over, looked at the big tree closely, and said, "It's okay, there are no scars, your control of swordsmanship is already good now." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "Grandpa, this is to comfort me, I have never been able to exert the true power of swordsmanship. ”
Old man Qin said: "How old are you, now your martial arts foundation is very solid." Think about it, when your grandfather and I were your age, we were powerless. Although the martial arts of our faction dare not be said to be invincible in the world, they have been inherited for a long time and have a deep foundation. You see, I only started practicing martial arts at the age of twenty, and I can see all the mountains at a glance, and you are only sixteen years old now, which can be described as a promising future!"
Fang Xiaodao said: "But practicing martial arts is still very talented, but I don't have the talent like my grandfather." ”
Old man Qin said: "Hehe, you believe that grandpa is amazingly talented, and grandpa is very happy." But in reality, your talent is not necessarily worse than mine, I am in a different situation with you, and you have not yet unleashed your potential. Everyone has great potential, but it depends on your chance, and you can't force it. ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "When grandpa was young, he was definitely not as stupid as me. ”
Old man Qin said: "Where are you stupid, you are just smart and don't focus on practicing martial arts, but I had to practice martial arts at that time." You don't think it's useful to practice martial arts well, so you naturally don't concentrate on it. You used to think that grandpa pushed you too much, but I want to tell you that grandpa is at least ten times harder than you. ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "It seems that I am destined not to become a master like my grandfather." ”
Old man Qin said with a smile: "We don't talk about martial arts, today I went to the Qiu family." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "Oh. Then he was stunned for a moment and said, "Qiu family?"
Old man Qin nodded and said, "Qiu family, I am very happy to see that little girl." ”
Fang Xiaodao was a little excited and said, "Have you seen it?"
Old man Qin touched his beard and said, "Very good, unlike those ladies who are arrogant, you are very blessed!"
Fang Xiaodao said: "Grandpa likes it, and I like it too." ”
Old man Qin said, "You, co-authored or did you accommodate me?"
Fang Xiaodao said: "That's naturally if grandpa likes it." ”
Old man Qin said: "Well, it's good that you have this filial piety, grandpa likes it very much, we will go to propose marriage in a few days, and we will prepare for it in the next few days." ”
Fang Xiaodao was ecstatic and said, "Okay, grandpa!"
Old man Qin looked at Fang Xiaodao, and his vicissitudes of life were also very happy. Since he had Fang Xiaodao, he smiled a lot, and since then his happiness has become much simpler. In retrospect, he didn't have much time to spend happily, and the loneliness of being alone accompanied him for most of his life. When he got older, he realized that it was not difficult to live his life happily, but he never did it.
Therefore, five days later, life was not bad, Old Man Qin and Fang Xiaodao changed into beautiful new clothes, carried some gifts, and were ready to propose.
