"You are Li Yuanbao, Senior Brother Wang said, you will follow me to chop wood in the future. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After listening to Senior Brother Wang's arrangement, Li Yuanbao saw that the people around him were scattered, and was about to go to his residence to have a look, when he saw a tall, loyal, and honest young man walking up to Li Yuanbao and saying with a smile.

"Oh, this big brother, what do you call it?" Li Yuanbao hurriedly replied.

"Hehe, I'm a scholar again, I speak in a crepe, chopping wood is a hard job, I can't do it, hurry up and tell Senior Brother Wang. The simple young man said with a smile, and seeing that Li Yuanbao didn't seem to understand, he continued:

"My name is Li Han, they all call me Hanzi, don't be so polite, you can call me Hanzi, I'm not much older than you, chopping wood is a tiring job, a young master like you, who used to come either tired and ran away or did something else. Look at your bones, it's enough to choke. ”

After Li Han finished speaking, he saw that Li Yuanbao was still not frightened by his words, so he scratched his head and said with a smile: "Hehe, go, I'll take you to our house to have a look." Then he picked up Li Yuanbao and walked towards his residence.

Seeing that Li Han was so enthusiastic, Li Yuanbao was still a little unsure of how to be good in the future, and followed Li Han into the second room of C, the furnishings in the room were very simple, a table, a few chairs, two beds, there was a futon on the bed, and a few firewood knives and ropes and flat poles were placed in the corner.

"Hehe, I'll call you Bao'er in the future, it's too troublesome to call your full name, that bed is yours, remember not to snore at night, or I won't be able to sleep, our rule here is to go out to chop wood every morning, and you can practice in the afternoon." ”

"I'm tired all morning today, I'm sleepy, I'll sleep first, you're on your first day today, you have nothing to do, do whatever you want, haha." Li Han said as he walked to his bed and lay down.

Li Yuanbao saw that Li Han didn't pay attention to himself, so he walked to his bedside, sat on the bed and meditated, his mind was always not calm, according to the mantra to eliminate distracting thoughts, empty his mind, and feel the aura of heaven and earth.

"Hehe, Bao'er, are you still practicing?" In the evening, it was almost dark, Li Han stretched his waist, rubbed his eyes, and saw Li Yuanbao sitting cross-legged on the bed practicing, so he spoke.

"Well, Brother Li, I don't know if you have any cultivation experience to teach me? I've been getting started for more than half a year, and I still haven't made any progress. Li Yuanbao was anxious to cultivate, and when he saw that Li Han was awake, he opened his mouth to ask for advice.

"I told you, just call me a fool, brother, it's awkward to listen to, and then brother, I can ignore you. Li Han said angrily.

"Okay, then I'll call you Hanzi. Li Yuanbao saw that Li Han was a little unhappy, and it didn't look like he was pretending, so he agreed with a smile, and then said: "By the way, Hanzi, I just came here today, I don't know what to do in the future, you have to tell me if you do something wrong." ”

"Haha, what's wrong with it, do you see the firewood knife in the corner? You pick one yourself, with a rope and a flat pole, we have to set off at dawn tomorrow, go to the back mountain to chop firewood, and come back at noon, at least one load of firewood, or Senior Brother Wang will be very unhappy. Let's go, let's eat. Li Han got up and pulled Li Yuanbao out of the room.

"What will happen if Senior Brother Wang is unhappy?" Li Yuanbao, who looked dazed, was pulled out of the room by Li Han and asked in a low voice.

"My Bao'er, if you're not happy, you're not happy, we are not long-term workers and subordinates, what can he do, that is, if you can chop enough firewood every day for half a year, you can get the elixir that will help you break through, hehe, okay Bao'er, let's go, you don't know these people, it's too late, and the dishes will be eaten up by them." Li Han stopped Li Yuanbao from speaking, but his feet were faster.

"Hanzi, what elixir?" Li Yuanbao followed closely and asked eagerly.

"Oh, Bao'er, what are so many problems, the world is big, and the meal is the biggest, I'll talk about it after eating. Li Han said impatiently.

Li Yuanbao saw that Li Han was thinking about eating now, so it was inconvenient to ask more, that is, he followed closely behind Li Han, and it didn't take much effort, so he came to the canteen, and when he entered the door, Li Yuanbao knew why Li Han was in a hurry, at this time there were already 100 people sitting in the hall, and there were people running towards the canteen behind him, and there were several large buckets of steamed buns and rice in the center of the canteen, but there was only one bucket of vegetables.

"Goo-goo-goo. Li Yuanbao has been thinking about cultivation, but he didn't notice that he hadn't eaten for a day, and when he entered the dining hall, his stomach screamed, and he said in his heart: "No matter, let's talk about eating first when I'm full." Thinking of this, he followed Li Han into the crowd of people who were cooking.

At night, listening to Li Han's rumbling snoring, Li Yuanbao lay on the bed, thinking about what he knew when he chatted with Li Han before going to bed, it turned out that everyone here came to Qingfengmen to apprentice, but there was no breakthrough for various reasons, but there was a fluke mentality, thinking that one day he would succeed in cultivation and glorify his ancestors.

Li Han has been coming to Qingfengmen for two years, and his family is also a rich and noble family, because his father hopes that his son will become a Chan, even if he knows that Li Han did not successfully become a disciple of Qingfengmen, he also let him cultivate hard here, but Li Han has no intention of cultivating at all, and only because of his father's strict order, he stayed here.

Li Han thought that according to the rules of Qingfeng Gate, if someone did not break through at the age of twenty, the sect would send him out and not allow him to come back, so he made up his mind to stay up until he was twenty years old and then go down the mountain, which could be regarded as an explanation to his father.

As for the matter of working hard to get the elixir, Li Han also heard what people said, and if he really got it, he wouldn't tell others with great fanfare, anyway, Li Han never got it.

Li Yuanbao thought about it, and unconsciously fell asleep.

"Bao'er, Bao'er, wake up, it's time to go up the mountain. Li Han patted the sleeping Li Yuanbao and shouted loudly.

"Oh, oh. Li Yuanbao sat up, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Oh, Hanzi, it's time?"

"En, Bao'er, hurry up, the team is about to leave, let's go alone, it's not safe. In Li Han's urging, Li Yuanbao hurriedly got dressed and followed Li Han out of the house.

As soon as the sky was dawning, there were already twenty or thirty people standing in the courtyard, and I saw Senior Brother Wang saying loudly: "After you go up the mountain, you must pay attention to safety, although the wild beasts in the mountain have been cleared by the senior brothers in the door, but it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net, and going up the mountain to chop firewood is also a kind of spiritual ......."

"Just these two sentences every day, I'm not tired, cough, okay, finally finished, Bao'er will go up the mountain in a while, you must follow me, don't run around, you won't be able to come back if you get lost." Li Han complained twice, and when he saw that the team was about to leave, he solemnly told Li Yuanbao a few words.

Li Yuanbao followed the wood-chopping team to the back mountain, walked for an hour, stopped in front of a low bush, and the young man in the lead simply told everyone to be careful and pay attention to safety, and the team dispersed in a hurry.

In the sound of heavy breathing, the dull sound of chopping wood, sweat dripping from his forehead to the ground, holding the cold firewood knife, Li Yuanbao cut a small tree hard, it was close to noon, and he had just chopped half a load of firewood.

"Bao'er, it's time, it's time to go back. Li Han, who was chopping firewood nearby, picked up a load of firewood and walked over to Li Yuanbao, and when he saw that it was not early, he beckoned Li Yuanbao to go back.

"Hanzi, I haven't chopped enough firewood. Li Yuanbao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said breathlessly.

"Ahem, give you half a load, I still have it. After Li Han finished speaking, he didn't wait for Li Yuanbao to agree, so he directly unloaded half a load of firewood, and went to collect the remaining firewood.

"Hanzi, how can this be?" Li Yuanbao shouted at Li Han, who was walking away.

"Don't be a mother-in-law, like a girl. Hurry up and pack up, or you won't be able to catch up with the line again. Li Han didn't look back, and said indifferently.

"Thank you, Hanzi. Li Yuanbao looked at Li Han's back, forcibly held back the tears that came out of his eyes, and said silently in his heart.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Hanzi, wake up, Hanzi, it's time to go up the mountain and chop wood. Li Yuanbao shook the sleeping Li Han vigorously, but he couldn't wake up no matter what, counting, Li Yuanbao has been here for more than a month, and he can already chop a load of firewood by himself, and he also understands why Li Han can't get the reward elixir, Li Han just doesn't want to cultivate immortals, he just wants to do whatever he wants, stay up and go home, and today he doesn't want to get up, no matter how Li Yuanbao shouts, he just can't get up.

"Ahem, you can't afford it, I'm leaving. Li Yuanbao, who was already used to it, sighed, said helplessly, and took the tools and went out.

With the team coming to the back mountain, because Li Han did not come today, Li Yuanbao found a clean place to cut it himself.

"Hey, who is this, isn't this our eldest son Li, look, this is dressed like a begging for food. When Li Yuanbao was chopping wood, a voice that annoyed him came from behind him.

"Why are you here?" Li Yuanbao turned around and looked at Jia Renyi coldly, at this time Jia Renyi was wearing a white robe, with his hair in a bun, and was looking at Li Yuanbao with contemptuous eyes.

"Haha, today I accompanied a few senior brothers to the back mountain to clean up your waste and clean up the beasts, I didn't expect to meet you, haha, we are really fateful. Look at what you look like now, like a begging for food, you stink to death. Jia Renyi covered his nose spiritually.

"Jia Renyi, pretend to be a grandson, it's okay to get out. Li Yuanbao has never been insulted like this since he was a child, and as soon as Jia Renyi said it, new hatred and old hatred came to his heart together, and he scolded him back.

"Fools who don't know whether to live or die. Jia Renyi said coldly.

As soon as Li Yuanbao wanted to fight back, he saw Jia Renyi come to him at a speed that he couldn't see, stretched out his hands and pushed him, Li Yuanbao wanted to dodge but somehow, he couldn't dodge at all, and when he saw Jia Renyi touch himself lightly, he felt a heavy blow in his chest and flew out directly.

Li Yuanbao slammed into a big tree, his body ached sharply, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Waste is waste, haha, it's not fun, ignore you waste, haha. Jia Renyi said coldly, turning his head and leaving.

"I'm fighting with you. The strong sense of humiliation made Li Yuanbao forget the pain, tried to stand up, and rushed towards Jia Renyi.

"Get out. Jia Renyi kicked Li Yuanbao, this kick was too fast, Li Yuanbao couldn't dodge at all, he was kicked out directly, fell heavily in a weed, and fainted.

"Senior Brother Jia, Senior Brother Jia, we've all checked here, it's time for us to go. ”

"Oh, Senior Brother Liu, I'm here, okay, right away. Jia Renyi looked at the place where Li Yuanbao fell and sneered, turned around and left.

In the middle of the night, Li Yuanbao opened his eyes with difficulty, the surroundings were pitch black, he couldn't see his five fingers, he tried to stand up, his chest was stuffy, and he shouted loudly: "Is there anyone?......?

Li Yuanbao tried to shout a few times, but seeing that no one answered, he thought to himself that it was so late, everyone must have left, and it is estimated that he didn't pay attention to himself when he left, so he should be left here, thinking about everything that happened during the day, Li Yuanbao was anxious, he really didn't expect Jia Renyi to be so vicious.

Li Yuanbao steadied his mind, looked at the quiet and dark wilderness around him, and couldn't help but panic a little, moved his hands and feet, and found that there was no big problem, so he groped his way down the mountain, and walked hard for half an hour, Li Yuanbao found that he was lost, and in a hurry, a one-person tall bush appeared in front of him, Li Yuanbao picked up the bushes, and his feet slipped.

"Ah" only felt that the body was falling, "poof", fell heavily into the water, the water flow was too fast, I couldn't control my body, I could only go down the water, and slowly lost consciousness.
