Chapter 50: Wandering

He said in his heart: "He Baoting, He Baoting, if you are not careful, if you don't bear it, and then fall into the hands of the monks and thieves, it will be like this torch falling into a stinky pond." He raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes, and when his sleeves touched his face, the stench rushed straight out, and he almost wanted to vomit, and said loudly: "I can't stand this stench, and I call myself a manly husband in vain." "Walk now.

After walking a few steps, the pain in his waist became sharp again, and he gritted his teeth and walked faster. Walking to the dawn, the sun shone on his face, dazzling flowers, He Baoting's heart was cold: "The world is big, where is my home, where should I go?" Thinking of home, I couldn't help but look up at the sun, thinking in my heart: "From now on, I will wander the world, and then go back to the martial arts hall to take a look." He turned around and walked in the direction of Yangzhou.

I didn't go far, but I thought: "This is a long way, I have to buy a mount, but I don't know how much silver it will cost." Touching his pocket, he couldn't help but cry bitterly, this time he came out, the gold, silver and jewelry were placed in the leather bag next to the saddle, He Zhentian and his wife had silver taels around them, but they were buried in the soil together when they were buried.

but he had not a silver tael on him. He was in a hurry, and suddenly shouted: "Then how is it good? How is it good?" After a while, he thought to himself: "He Baoting, He Baoting, why are you so useless, a dignified seven-foot man, will you starve to death?"

By noon, my stomach was already grumbling with hunger, and I saw that several fruit trees by the roadside were full of fruit, and I didn't know what kind of fruit it was, even if it was not ripe, it could satisfy hunger.

When he went to the bottom of the tree, he stretched out his hand to pick it, and then he thought to himself, "If you take these things that are owned by the Lord, you will be a thief." The three generations of the He family have all been well-known martial arts heroes, so how can I be a thief? If I let people see me, scold me as a thief, and teach me how to behave in the future? The signboard of the Dewei Martial Arts Hall will never stand again. He was trained at a young age, and knew that the big thieves all changed from small thieves, and the small thieves stole at the beginning, often only a melon and a fruit, from small to many, and finally accumulated heavy and difficult to return, and the mud feet were deep and could not extricate themselves.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on my back, and made up my mind: "One day, I want to revive the prestige of the Dewei Martial Arts Pavilion, and the eldest husband must be a man with a firm foothold, and would rather be a beggar than a thief." "Take a big stride, hurry forward, and don't look at the fruit trees by the roadside again.

After traveling for several miles, he came to a small village, where he walked to the family and begged for food. He has stretched out his hand for tea and opened his mouth for food all his life, where has he ever begged for anything from others?

After only three sentences, his face was already swollen and red. The peasant woman of the peasant family had just been angry with her husband, and gave the man a beating, and her stomach was full of anger, and when she heard He Baoting begging, she scolded him for being a bloody dog, lifted her broom, and shouted: "You little thief, you are not a good person. The old lady has lost a hen, you must have stolen it to eat, and you still want to steal the chicken and touch the dog. The old lady has rice, and she will not give you this nasty embryo. You stole my chicken, which caused my family to lose its temper that day, and beat the old lady all over her body......" The peasant woman scolded, and He Baoting took a step back.

The peasant woman scolded and lifted her broom and slapped it in He Baoting's face. He Baoting was furious, leaned over and flashed, raised his palm and wanted to hit her, and suddenly thought: "I can't beg for food, but I go to beat this stupid woman in the countryside, isn't it a joke?"

The peasant woman laughed and scolded, "Little thief, fall well!" A broom slapped on his head, and spat on him, and then turned and went back to the house.

He Baoting was humiliated by this, and his indignation was unspeakable, and he struggled to get up, with cow dung on his face and hands. In the midst of the embarrassment, the peasant woman came out of the house, took four boiled corn cobs, handed them to him, and scolded with a smile: "Little ghost, let's eat it! God gave birth to you with such a handsome face, which is even better looking than other people's new daughters-in-law, but you just don't learn well, you are lazy to eat, and you have a fart?" He Baoting was furious, and he wanted to throw the corn cob out.

The peasant woman laughed and said, "Well, you fall, you fall! You are not afraid of starvation, so you will drop the corn cob and starve you little thief." He Baoting thought to himself: "If you want to revive the prestige of my martial arts hall, you must endure it in the future, and no matter how difficult and shameful it is, you should grit your teeth and endure it fiercely." What's the point of humiliating this country woman?" he said, "Thank you!" and opened his mouth to bite the corn on the cob.

The peasant woman laughed and said, "I don't expect you to fall." He turned and walked away, and said to himself, "This little devil is so hungry that it doesn't seem that he stole my chicken." Alas, my family is damn this day, and it would be nice to have half of his good temper. He Baoting begged all the way to eat, sometimes picking wild fruits in the mountains and fields to satisfy hunger, fortunately in this year Jiangsu Province is very ripe, the five grains are abundant, and the people have a surplus of grain, although he painted his face very dirty, but his words are elegant, and he is favored by people, and it is not difficult to ask for food.

After eight or nine days along the road, he has returned to Yangzhou. He was afraid that the enemy was still in Yangzhou, so he didn't dare to go back to the martial arts hall without permission during the day, so he finally waited until the evening, and then quietly ran towards the Dewei martial arts hall.

It has been a while since the martial arts hall, and at this moment, there are mixed tastes in my heart, and when I arrived nearby, I saw from a distance that the martial arts hall had already burned to a white ground, and even dozens of families in the neighborhood were burned to the ground. He Baoting secretly screamed bitterly in his heart, and quietly approached, and saw that the entire street was full of scorched wood and red bricks, and rubble everywhere.

He stood quietly for a long time, and said in his heart: "That was done by the thieves of Kuzhi." If you don't take revenge, you'll be in vain. He wanted to go home and have a look before he left the wandering, but he didn't expect it to end up like this.

My heart was sad, and when I was about to leave, I suddenly thought that my father had quietly told me that day that the sword score was buried under the big locust tree behind the martial arts hall.

He thought to himself that he was leaving at this moment, and he was afraid that he would never be able to return to Yangzhou again, so he looked around, saw that there was no one, and wanted to find some tools such as flat shovels but there was no one, so he had to come to the book collection place and lean over to dig the soil with his bare hands.

After digging for a long time, he was able to touch the hard object, and he guessed that it was the sword book, and at this time, his hands were scraped with blood by the solid stones in the soil, and he didn't care about the pain, he only dug desperately, and after a while, he dug out a square box.

This small box is very exquisitely made, and the seal is excellent, He Baoting took a lot of effort to open the box, and sure enough, he saw a small booklet inside, which read

"He Family Swordsmanship" four big characters. He wanted to open it to see, but he remembered his father's last teachings, and immediately put the sword book in his hands and prepared to leave.

When he walked to a place, He Baoting suddenly stopped, it turned out that it was the place where Ouyang Ping was buried, looking at the soil bag, He Baoting stood for a long time, full of grief and indignation, and secretly made an oath in his heart, and left without looking back.

He went all the way south, and his goal was Hangzhou Zhiyuan Dart Bureau. If he hadn't gone home and seen Ouyang Ping's place where he was buried, I am afraid he would not have remembered that there was such a relative.

At this moment, he only hopes to arrive in Hangzhou as soon as possible and defect to his future father-in-law, Ouyang Long. He walked and stopped, begging all the way, after more than 20 days, he had arrived in Zhejiang, he asked the way, went to Hangzhou, and thought of the Zhiyuan Dart Bureau, Ouyang Long looked at the past feelings, he would always take in himself, and the worst can also take some coils for livelihood.

When I arrived in Hangzhou, I inquired about the Zhiyuan Dart Bureau, and the pedestrian said: "Zhiyuan Dart Bureau? What are you asking for? The Dart Bureau has already burned out." He Baoting secretly screamed bitterly in his heart, and when he came to the location of the dart game, he saw that the entire dart game was burned clean.

He Baoting said in his heart: "The bitter wisdom monk started so quickly, he didn't even let go of the Ouyang family, he must have expected that he would come to defect, but he couldn't find himself, so he killed his father-in-law's family." He Baoting didn't have time to stay in Hangzhou, so he left on the same day.

This time there is really no one more relative or friend in this world. Since then, he can only wander the world and beg for a living.

If you want to revive the Dewei Martial Arts Hall, I am afraid that I don't know what year and month it will take.
