To the west of Bashan, north of the Yangtze River, among the vast mountains, there is a city named Rongchang.

Rongchang has a long history, simple folk customs, developed commerce, and is famous for producing exquisite pottery, beautiful summer cloth and delicate folding fans. The locals all know that Xia Bu is the best in Panlong Town, and the ceramics are the best in Anfu Town! But there are no absolutes in the world, and the most famous Xia Bu in Rongchang City is from the hands of a widow in Anfu Town who is called Jiu Niang.

"Even the entrance assessment has been repeated, am I really not the material for cultivation......

On the country road, Jiu Niang's son Zhang Jiuxiao looked at the sky and the sunset, touched the scene, and couldn't help but be a little depressed.

He has loved martial arts since he was a child, but he is frail and sickly, and his qualifications are very poor, and he has gone to learn art again and again, but he has been rejected again and again, and the same is true today.

"Fatty, Chiaki...... Am I that stupid?" asked Zhang Jiuxiao dejectedly.

He asked not himself, but a man and a woman in his company.

The man's name is Ying Shilin, short and fat, one meter six tall, one hundred and eighteen in weight, he looks powerful and strong, and is unusually stocky!

The woman's name is Lu Qianqiu, the daughter of the master Lu Changgen, with a beautiful face and a slender figure, like a pretty daffodil!

"Brother Jiuxiao, I believe that no one is smarter than you!"

The little beauty Lu Qianqiu nodded crisply, revealing a pair of small dimples on her face, adding a bit of beauty and sweetness.

"If you're stupid, what are we? Boss, what's so good about cultivating! My ambition is to be a super big businessman, freight in all directions, rich in the world......

The little fat man waved his arms vigorously, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, and suddenly saw Qianqiu's vicious eyes, and he immediately closed his mouth in amusement.

The three grew up together and are very familiar with each other.

The fat man has had a crush on Qianqiu since he was a child, and he has always wanted his grandfather, who is the village head, to come to the door to propose, but unfortunately Qianqiu has a good impression of Zhang Jiuxiao.

However, the fat man has a tough heart, exerts the sticky strength of kraft candy, and resolutely pursues Qianqiu to the end!

......

Crossing the Green Willow River, passing through the old kiln factory, you will arrive at Zhang Jiuxiao's door.

The three of them had just walked to the door of the house, but they saw several people walking out head-on.

The man at the head is forty or so, dressed in a splendid robe, with a silk jade belt around his waist, dressed very elegantly, shaking an iron fracture fan, graceful and rich.

Behind him, two strong men and servants bowed down to follow, and a middle-aged woman with a fat face was constantly flattering.

I don't know anyone else, but all three of these pink women are until-this person is the famous Zhou matchmaker in town!

"Ouch, outside the building staff, this is Jiu Niang's son! Jiuxiao, don't you hurry up to meet Master Lou...... Master Lou doesn't dislike your family's poverty, and is willing to marry your mother, and you will be a family in the future, and you won't have to suffer from poverty again!" As soon as she saw Zhang Jiuxiao, Mrs. Zhou suddenly twisted her bucket waist and smiled all over her face.

Zhang Jiuxiao was already unhappy, his eyes were round when he heard the words, staring at Mrs. Zhou, and her face was extremely unkind!

Mrs. Zhou was stunned for a moment, but when the clerk heard the words, she stared at Zhang Jiuxiao for a while, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became:

"Not bad, not bad! The eyebrows are clear, the Yin Hall is broad, the bridge of the nose is high, and she looks quite like your mother! It's just that her body is too weak to cultivate. Da Hei, give him ten taels of silver, let him buy new clothes, and become the son of Master Lou, so he can't dress so shabby, which will damage the face of my Lou family. ”

"Phew, who's your son......"

Zhang Jiuxiao was furious, his face was flushed, and he forcibly suppressed it without breaking out.

"Master Lou accepts you as a son, that is to look up to you, otherwise even if your mother marries him, it will be a dream......"

Mrs. Zhou came back to her senses and pointed at Zhang Jiuxiao.

"Okay, shut up...... It's a pity that my sons died young!" The building clerk stepped forward and patted Zhang Jiuxiao on the shoulder, "Since I want to marry your mother, you are my son." My son naturally has my last name. Jiuxiao's name is good, you will be called Lou Jiuxiao in the future!"

"Get out—"

Zhang Jiuxiao finally broke out, struck his elbow horizontally, and slammed into the lower abdomen of the building member.

It's okay to insult me, but never to insult my mother!

"Bang!"

A big hand blocked his elbow, and he didn't move, but it was the minion named Da Hei who stood in front of him!

"Little rabbit, dare to make a move on my master......"

The minion Da Hei grabbed it with his backhand, grabbed Zhang Jiuxiao's arm, and suddenly burst into strength.

Zhang Jiuxiao's complexion changed greatly, his arm was sore and numb, and he was as weak as a noodle, and the big black fist enterprise lightning hooked and suddenly attacked his lower abdomen!

"Boom!"

The fist was in the lower abdomen, Zhang Jiuxiao's internal organs were churning, the abdomen was in severe pain, and the whole person was clumped into a shrimp.

With his weak physique, where can he be the opponent of Da Hei who has practiced martial arts!

"Dare to beat me boss, you wait for me! Boss, bear with me, I'll go back to the village and call someone-"

Seeing Zhang Jiuxiao being beaten, Ying Shilin's first reaction was to turn around and run away, shouting while running.

This guy is as strong as a cow, but he is a thief, and he ran out more than ten meters, and he felt that he had lost Zhang Jiuxiao and was beaten.

The fat man groaned, turned and rushed back, and walked towards the big black punch. As a result, a person rushed out next to him, grabbed him by the collar, and easily lifted him up. Nearly two hundred pounds, it was lifted in his hand like a little chicken, the little fat man struggled, but was thrown hard by the other party, flew out four or five meters away, and was planted upside down in the grass!

Da Hei punched Zhang Jiuxiao in the lower abdomen several times in a row, kicked him in the chest, and kicked him so much that he vomited blood on the spot.

"Alright, don't hurt my son!"

The building clerk waved his hand, and the two minions suddenly stopped, this guy stared at Zhang Jiuxiao, with a weird smile on his face, and patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Good son, go back quickly, persuade your mother more!"

", I'm not!"

Zhang Jiuxiao would rather die than give in, gritting his teeth and glaring angrily!

......

After the building staff waited for others to leave, the three of them got up in embarrassment.

It is not strange to be beaten, Zhang Jiuxiao has not had many fights since he was a child, but he was abused by everyone with vinegar, especially his mother, which Zhang Jiuxiao absolutely could not tolerate. He didn't even say hello to the fat man and Chiaki, and he rushed towards the house as fast as he could—he desperately wanted to ask his mother if what those people said was true?

"Mother......

The room was quiet, no one answered, and Zhang Jiuxiao suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

She knows her mother's fierce temperament, but don't let anything happen!

"Mother, where are you—"

The more Zhang Jiuxiao thought about it, the more anxious he became, and searched all the possible places in the yard, but he never found his mother.

He was anxious, but he took a long breath and forcibly calmed down, which was his habit.

Carefully recalling his mother's habits, Zhang Jiuxiao strode towards the back mountain!

Passing through dense sycamore forests and turning over a col with bamboo leaves, a ruined mountain temple is visible – the only one within a hundred miles, and it is often used to sit here when my mother is in a bad mood or misses my father.

It's a pity-

He was disappointed!

The hill temple was empty, with no mother in sight.

"Not here...... Oops......"

Zhang Jiuxiao really panicked, turned around and rushed out of the mountain temple, but his foot was hooked by a vine, his body was unstable, and he fell forward with a "bang", and his head was hitting the stone bench in front of the temple.

This stone bench is also strange, there is a lifelike stone carved ancient book on it, Zhang Jiuxiao's head is slamming on the book, and the blood is suddenly flowing from his aunt. The blood flowed onto the stone book, and immediately invaded it, and I saw that the stone book was glowing with blood-colored light, and finally suddenly squirmed, and drilled into Zhang Jiuxiao's forehead!
