Chapter 2 Nanyang Chu Family
As the capital of Yangzhou, Nanyang City is also one of the largest cities in the imperial dynasty, and the west city wall cannot see the east city wall, and the south city wall cannot see the north city wall, which shows the scale.
There are two of the busiest places in the city, the bustling downtown streets, and the equally bustling brothels.
But when the sun is high, the downtown is still a little more lively than the flower market.
However, there are also some idlers and gentlemen who have nothing to do all day long, and they linger here day and night.
"Haha, come, come and help Uncle Ben bathe and change clothes, tomorrow Uncle Ben will be famous all over the world. The person who spoke was not very old, and the linen clothes he wore were very shabby, his hair was tied up haphazardly with old cloth towels, and he wore a sword wrapped in white cloth layer after layer of white cloth around his waist, and he was dressed as a standard "chivalrous".
However, in the cheapest green house in the city, it is appropriate to hug the girl with the lowest price.
Such a person, Xiaoyue girl with lips as thick as her fingers has seen a lot of them, she has learned a little Xuangong martial arts, she just thinks about fighting the sword world, and dares to say anything big, most of them are just gangsters, and the most important thing is that she doesn't have much money on her.
But these are not important, as long as he can have enough money to pay for this meal of flowers, and he is still very young and handsome, which makes Miss Xiaoyue even more happy.
"Oh, my hero, don't be so anxious, you said you would do something big tomorrow. Miss Xiaoyue took off her skirt and said in a greasy tone.
"Well..."
Suddenly, a rumbling sound from downstairs interrupted the mouth and movements of the "young man", and he opened the window curiously with the girl in his arms, only to see a horse with his feet on the flames and his hooves like thunder crossing the street like an arrow, and the pedestrians avoided it one after another.
"This is the thunder and fire beast of the Chu family, and those who can ride them are all big names in the Chu family, I don't know what is happening, let the adults rush like this. Miss Xiaoyue looked at the horse that was galloping out of the city, her eyes were full of stars, to say that the most valuable person in Yangzhou was not the son of the Chu family, I don't know how many rich businessmen and famous families wanted to let their yellow flower girl marry into the Chu family. Miss Xiaoyue also often dreamed that she was favored by the son of the Chu family, and then woke up with a smile from her dream.
"Shaoxia" closed the window, put an end to Miss Xiaoyue's reverie, and said in high spirits: "It is often said that the Chu family teaches Chu Long's Xuangong to cover the world, and swordsmanship is known as the first in the world. Waha...... "......
In Nanyang City, only the Chu family can ride the thunder and fire beast to reach the realm of heaven and man, and it is only under the condition of permission, so when a knight is still running in the city on a strange beast, the guards guarding the city gate have already separated the people who have entered the city, allowing the knight to rush out of the city gate like the wind.
The knight went straight into the mountains outside the city, and the horses under his seat were almost a foot high, and he was still running on the bluestone steps, and after a while, he came to the door of a mountain villa buried in the deep mountains.
The knight jumped off his horse outside the door, and immediately a man guarding the door came out to take the reins and saluted the knight respectfully: "Steward Hui." ”
The knight walked straight into the villa, all the way through the door, and the people he saw saluted him one after another, which showed that his identity was not ordinary.
It's just that the knight hurriedly didn't pay much attention to others, making people wonder what happened to the steward today, so in a hurry.
Steward Hui didn't stop to say hello until he crossed the outer courtyard and saw a middle-aged man with a mighty appearance.
"General Teaching. ”
"Steward Hui, why are you in such a hurry? Are you going to see the head of the family?"
Steward Hui couldn't help but slow down and said, "That's right, something big happened, and I was about to report it to the head of the family." ”
"What's the big deal that makes you so anxious?" Chu Long asked seemingly casually.
Steward Hui hesitated for a moment, looked at the surroundings and saw that there was no one around, before he lowered his voice and said, "The head of the Gongsun family and his old man are dead. ”
Chu Long's footsteps did not stop, his face did not change, as if he heard the words of the neighbor's gossip, only his brows moved slightly, revealing a little emotion in him: "I remember that I received news before that their Gongsun family was invited to kill the mountain god." ”
"That's right, with their cultivation, it wasn't a big deal, but they got the true body of this mountain god wrong. Steward Hui lowered his voice: "The mountain god is not the rumored Demon Jiao, but... The chief teacher has heard the story of becoming a god. ”
Chu Long suddenly stopped, showing a very rare expression: "Eight-winged dragon!"
"It's the Serena now. Steward Hui sighed: "The lives of the two masters of the Supreme Good Realm have only cut off a wing...... The Gongsun family may be finished. ”......
"After I go back, I will memorize the filial piety in the rules of the disciples I taught today, and I will check it tomorrow. The silver-haired old gentleman held on to the ruler, put his hands behind his back, and looked around the students, who were only six years old, and where his eyes looked, the disciple would lower his head and dare not look at him.
The old gentleman nodded in satisfaction, picked up the book, and walked away slowly.
When Mr. left the school, the students who were sitting in a precarious position and did not even dare to come out of the atmosphere immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the originally quiet school immediately turned into a vegetable market, and the little elementary school children were noisy one after another.
"The master obviously doesn't know Xuangong, how do I think he is more terrible than the chief teacher. Five-year-old Chu Jiwu held his chin and let out a sigh that would not appear at his age.
The other elementary school students couldn't help but nod in agreement, and Chu Xingxian, the oldest and largest in the school, said loudly: "I'm not afraid of him, we are the Chu family, learning Xuangong is the right way, these books, scriptures, or something, what's the use, it's good to know words." ”
Chu Xingxian copied the words he heard from his father, and immediately made the other students cast adoring glances, Chu Xingxian enjoyed his favorite gaze, but a child with a round face who was only four years old whispered: "But you were taught by your master yesterday and cried." ”
"Poof..."The other children immediately laughed when they heard that Chu Xingxian was bragging again.
Chu Xingxian was exposed, and his face immediately turned red like an apple, but he didn't dare to offend the youngest child who spoke out, it was the only son of the head of the family, but for the sake of his own face, he still stiffened his neck and said: "Who said it, I didn't cry." ”
"But I obviously saw it, and Xiaowen and Xiaofei also saw it. Chu Li, who spoke just now, dodged, but still muttered in a low voice.
"Don't be ashamed, say big things, lose big teeth. The others laughed even louder, Chu Xingxian was annoyed and angry, and slapped the child who laughed the loudest on the head: "Who dares to laugh." ”
Chu Xingxian has been rampant in the children's pile by virtue of his age and being half a head taller than the other children, and now that he is fierce, the other children immediately shut their mouths, but the child who was photographed cried out wow.
The school was silent, as if the master had returned, only the cry of the child holding his head.
Suddenly, a child stood up, the children immediately looked over, Chu Xingxian pointed at him and said, "Xiaofei, you say, am I crying?"
The child named Xiaofei glanced at Chu Xingxian, didn't say anything, and walked out of the school by himself.
Chu Xingxian couldn't help but be even more angry when he saw that Xiao Fei didn't put himself in his eyes, but he only gritted his teeth fiercely and didn't go up to teach the other party a lesson.
Chu Xingxian snorted: "Isn't it the son of the chief teacher, what's the big deal." ”
"But you can't beat people. Chu Li blinked his big innocent eyes and said puzzled.
Chu Xingxian glanced at him and said loudly, "Who said I couldn't beat him." ”
No one dared to squeak, but at this time, someone stood up again, Chu Xingxian looked at the child, but this time he was not as polite as to Xiao Fei, pointed at him and said loudly: "What, you are not convinced? Tell me, have I cried, can I beat Xiao Fei?"
"Who knows. Chu Xiaowen packed up his books, left a sentence and walked out, without even looking at Chu Xingxian.
"You..." Chu Xingxian found that everyone else was looking at him with a smile, and felt that his position as the boss had been seriously challenged, so he couldn't help but grab the book and throw it at Chu Xiaowen: "Stop." ”
Thrown by the book, Chu Xiaowen glanced back, still expressionless, and continued to walk out.
Ignored again, Chu Xingxian couldn't tolerate it anymore, stood up and said loudly: "You dare to look down on me, who do you think you are, do you think you are the son of Jiaoxi? You are a rice eater, you and your mother are both rice moths of the Chu family, if your father hadn't died early and the head of the family took pity on you, you would have been kicked out a long time ago... You... You're the wild seed that can only live here with your dead father. ”
Chu Xingxian's face was red, but the more he spoke, the louder he became, and the other children were frightened by him and didn't dare to make a sound.
However, as he wished, as soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xiaowen suddenly turned around and threw all the books in his hand, smashing Chu Xingxian and a few children who were close to him in the face.
"You..." Chu Xingxian glared, and as soon as he said a word, Chu Xiaowen had already pounced on him and knocked him to the ground.
The table and chair fell crookedly, Chu Xiaowen pushed the other party, and punched the other party's head one by one. Chu Xingxian was not small than the other party, but he couldn't stand the brute strength of this country boy, so he could only hold his head to resist, but he had no chance to fight back.
The other children immediately dispersed when they saw the fight, but a few children who often played with Chu Xingxian thought about it and rushed forward to help.
A child's fight is very simple, one person holds the body, the other wraps his neck, pulls him away from his partner, and then rolls around on the ground like a snake.
Chu Xingxian covered one of his beaten eyes, and tears fell down: "Woo, you dare to hit me, woo~ I'm going to tell my mother." ”
Saying that, he got up, and the boss in the school went to his mother to ask for justice with a crying face.
Chu Xiaowen launched a rush but didn't care who the person who came, he would beat anyone when he saw it, and he didn't care that these were children who were one year older than him.
Children don't have the same crazy energy as him when they fight, he has been here for a year, but because of outsiders, the children don't look down on him very much, and after a few fights, the other children are a little afraid of him, only Chu Xingxian dares to often stir up trouble, and he has never lost because of the large number of people.
This time, Chu Xiaowen was even more savage than before, smashing anything in the face of the child on his body, the book brush almost hit a child's head with an inkstone, and he bit it with his teeth and grabbed it with his hands.
Soon the three children who were pressing him couldn't stand it, and after a few hits on his body, he let go of his hand, Chu Xiaowen immediately got up and rushed out of the school in the frightened eyes of the other children.
A few children stood up with a sigh of relief, supporting their waists and covering their faces, knowing that Chu Xiaowen had gone to chase Chu Xingxian, but everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they didn't dare to help.
Nanyang City is the core city of the Chu family's forces, but Chujiazhuang is not in the city, but is built in a high mountain close to the city, and the Chu family's school is built next to Chujiazhuang.
There are three classrooms for the children of the Chu family of different ages to learn, and at this time, it is not only the youngest group of students who are out of class, but also those who are seven or eight years old and in their teens.
When a little guy who cried like a big cat ran by, it immediately made the students curious.
"Isn't this your third uncle's boy? Why, it seems that he has been bullied. A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy walked out of the school hall and said behind him.
"Hehe, this kid usually brags in front of me, but this time he was taught a lesson. Another teenager also saw his cousin, but said with a look of schadenfreude.
It didn't take long for another child to run over angrily, with more bruises on his face than Chu Xingxian, but he had a fierce face, as if he had met an enemy.
"Wow, your cousin must have been beaten by this kid, why don't you help him out?" the young man pointed at Chu Xiaowen who ran over and smiled.
"Don't go, let them make trouble, it's too shameless to meddle in children's affairs. The other teenager shook his head and said with a smile.
Chu Xiaowen actually didn't see Chu Xingxian at all, but he knew where Chu Xingxian lived.
Along the way, he ran angrily through the periphery of Chujiazhuang, and the people who saw him couldn't help but look at him curiously, they all recognized this special foreign child, so no one had this idle and nosy, but someone read a few words: "Sure enough, it is a wild child from outside, who doesn't understand the rules at all, and what kind of system does it become to run around in this house." ”
The person who said it didn't lower his voice, and Chu Xiaowen didn't react when he heard it, so he went straight to find the child he could deal with.
When Chu Xiaowen turned to the outermost house circle, he finally saw Chu Xingxian, but Chu Xiaowen stopped and did not rush up immediately.
Because in addition to Chu Xingxian, there are several women here.
Chu Xingxian was standing in front of his mother, still with snot and tears, and when he saw Chu Xiaowen appear, he immediately stretched out his finger and pointed over: "Mother, it's him." ”
Chu Xingxian's mother's surname is Xin, with thin eyebrows and thin lips, she usually looks sour, but when she saw her son being bullied, she raised her eyebrows and raised her eyes, wiped her child's tears in distress, and did not look at Chu Xiaowen, but scolded the woman in front of her who was hunched over: "Look at it, look at it, this is the good son you taught, look at my child like this." What kind of old lady there is, what kind of kind of species. ”
"What did you say?" Chu Xiaowen gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.
"Oh, it's so small and so horizontal, dare to shout in front of the old lady. Look, I didn't scold you wrong. Sure enough, the wild children in the countryside are from the countryside. Everyone, do you say that there is such an uneducated child? Xin's face became even more sour, and several other women were obviously on her side, regardless of the fact that the injuries on Chu Xiaowen's face were much worse than Chu Xingxian's, they all echoed and pointed at Chu Xiaowen's mother and son.
"Xiaowen, you are not allowed to be so rude to your aunt. Lin Ke put down the wooden plate full of clothes, and hurriedly pulled the child to apologize to the woman: "I'm really sorry, it's me who didn't discipline well, Xiaowen, apologize to someone quickly." ”
"I don't apologize, I'm not wrong. ”
"It's not wrong to hit someone, then it's not wrong for me to hit you. Xin slapped Chu Xiaowen in the face, where could the child stand the woman's slap, half of his face was red, and he fell to the ground.
Lin Ke exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly squatted down to hug the child, his face turned pale but he didn't dare to make a sound.
Xin snorted: "Don't blame me, there's nothing wrong with beating people, but what this wild kid said, I didn't do anything wrong, right?"
Lin Ke lowered his head: "No... No, I'm sorry. ”
"Why do you want to apologize?" Chu Xiaowen broke away from his mother's hand, even if half of his face was swollen, his face still looked stubborn.
"Children are not sensible, I'm really sorry, there will be no next time. Lin Ke hurriedly grabbed the child and lowered his head.
"Why do you want to apologize?" Chu Xiaowen pushed his mother's hand away and shouted, "Why do you want to bow your head? I didn't do anything wrong, they are the ones who should apologize." ”
"It's really a wild child, you don't want to live anymore, if we don't take it in, you can live here, just eat and drink for nothing, and dare to be wild here, who do you think you have to eat." Xing pointed his throat and pushed Chu Xiaowen to the ground.
"Xiaowen. Lin Ke hurriedly caught the child, and his head was so low that even the short Chu Xiaowen couldn't see her face.
"Anyway, it's not up to you, it's my mother who washes clothes every day so that I have food, and I clean the house every day so that I have food. I didn't do anything wrong, so I won't apologize to you. Chu Xiaowen pushed his mother away, turned around and ran.
"Xiaowen, where are you going?" Lin Ke got up and wanted to catch up with her child, but she was already weak, and with the excitement at this time, she was a little out of breath after just walking a few steps.
"Little mongrel, there is really a grandfather and no mother, how can this family raise this kind of person. A woman's voice came from behind her, and Lin Ke looked at the child who was running farther and farther away, her shoulders trembled slightly, and she didn't let anyone see her tears.
