"Cripple tiger, stupid, catches mice with a runny nose. "Cripple tiger, stupid, with snot to catch mice. ”

"The lame man is coming......" cried a group of children at the head of the village around a dirty boy. The boy was thin and thin, with a disheveled head, and two large swollen bags on his head. At this time, he was holding ten copper plates in his hands covered with blood, and walked towards the village with a smile on his face.

"Dead boy, go play elsewhere. I've told you how many times, stay away from this lame, bad luck. A middle-aged woman chased the children away.

"This lame man went to play with Young Master Liu again. I heard that Young Master Liu asked people to put a group of rats in the secret room and gamble with other young masters to see who sent people to catch more. "The man under the banyan tree is playing chess with Lao Li Tou.

"Alas, it's also pitiful, the first few years were fine. Last month, Cheng's widow fell ill and was bedridden, how will these two live in the future!?"

Ten years ago, Cheng Orion went up the mountain to hunt and picked up a baby in the tiger's den. Cheng Orion had a good heart, so he took the child to his home and raised it, naming him Cheng Hu. Unexpectedly, a few days later, Cheng Orion fell off a cliff on the mountain and died, and people said that the child he picked up was bad luck and ominous.

"Huzi, come here. Grandpa, there's a sweet potato here, you take it. Lao Li beckoned.

"Yo! Bodhisattva's heart. On the day the cripple was picked up, the earth suddenly shook and thunderstormed, which was obviously ominous. You're so good to him, I don't think you'll have a few days to live. The woman ran away as if she had seen a plague god.

"You ......" Lao Li was angry. The woman was Lao Li Tou's daughter-in-law, and she lived separately from Lao Li Tou for fear of causing trouble.

"Grandpa Li, I made money today, you go and help me ask the village doctor to treat my mother's illness. Cheng Hu walked over and stuffed the bloodstained copper plate over.

"Child, you hurt ...... , grandpa bandages you. Lao Li Tou said.

"The tiger doesn't hurt, my mother must be hungry. Cheng Hu hugged the sweet potato and ran towards the village excitedly.

The sunset turns the horizon red, and smoke wafts from the small mountain village. However, there is a thatched hut that is very deserted, as if it has been abandoned.

"I'm back. Cheng Hu pushed the door in: "Mother, this is the sweet potato given by Grandpa Li." ”

There was a young woman in her thirties lying on the bed, who was Widow Cheng. At this time, there was not a trace of blood on the pale face.

"Mother is not hungry. Widow Cheng said weakly.

"Mother, I'll feed you. Cheng Hu pinched a small piece of sweet potato and sent it to Widow Cheng's mouth.

"Ahem, poof......"

Widow Cheng spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Child, my mother can't do it. Widow Cheng was breathing rapidly, as if she had lost a lot of strength.

"Mother, you will definitely get better. I have saved enough copper plates, and Grandpa Li has already gone to the village doctor. Cheng Hu cried and said.

In fact, to see a disease, five copper plates are enough. The village doctor was afraid of being contaminated with bad luck, so he deliberately asked for ten. Even if he adds five, he won't come.

"Child, my mother can't rest assured that you can't leave you!" Widow Cheng grabbed Cheng Hu's hand tightly as if she had returned to the light.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Mother, don't you die. Cheng Hu cried and shouted. However, no matter how Cheng Hu shook and shouted, Widow Cheng no longer had a voice.

It was a long night, and the young Cheng Hu's heart was full of coldness and fear for the future.

The next day, Lao Li Tou buried Cheng's widow.

At the foot of a low mountain, Cheng Hu knelt in front of a grave. This is the grave of Cheng Orion and Cheng's widow, and Lao Li buried them together.

"Get up, Huzi, you've been kneeling all morning. Lao Li Tou stood behind Cheng Hu and said.

"No, I'll stay with my dad for a while. Cheng Hu's eyes were red and swollen, and he didn't know how many tears he shed.

"Cripple Tiger, why didn't you go today? Hey, what's wrong? Hahaha, it's fun. I saw two people walking not far away, it was Young Master Liu and his servant. That Young Master Liu actually ran over directly and stepped on the grave.

"Young master, come down, this is so unlucky. "The servant said.

"Fart, what do you know? Young Master Ben is a natural god, how can he compare to a pariah like you. Young Master Liu reprimanded.

"Get the hell out of here. Cheng Hu got up and picked up a wooden stick and shouted.

"Young Master Ben can't get off, what can you do? Hahaha, I like it. Hahaha, haha......" The laughter stopped abruptly, and the wooden stick was inserted into Young Master Liu's mouth, leaking through the back of his neck.

"Tiger run. Old Li Tou hurriedly shouted.

Before Lao Li shouted, Cheng Hu had already run away. At this point, the servant finally recovered from his shock, drew his sword and chased after him. After all, Cheng Hu is still a child, and his legs and feet are not good, how can he outrun the old servant. The two are getting closer and closer, and they are about to catch up.

In the distance, a flying boat was approaching at a high speed, and there were three teenagers on the boat, all about ten years old. One of them was dressed in brocade clothes and was obviously the son of a wealthy family. In front of the three stood a sloppy old man, with unkempt hair and dirty clothes, none of which were intact, completely spliced together. At this time, the sloppy old man was holding a chicken leg in his hand and gnawing on it deliciously.

"Hey, good luck. Just passing by, I came across three people with spiritual roots. This is the last place, and I hope I don't disappoint my old man. The scruffy old man muttered.

The red light flashed, and a disc appeared in his hand, and a point of light on the disc was moving rapidly.

"Well, yes, found another one. The sloppy old man muttered to himself.

"Oh, don't! no......" The sloppy old man suddenly screamed, and something flew out of his hand, so frightened that the teenagers on the flying boat almost fell.

The point of light on the plate was Cheng Hu, and the knife in the servant's hand was less than a foot away from Cheng Hu at this moment.

There was a "thump", and the servant fell in response. I saw something stuck in his head, which was the chicken leg that the sloppy old man had just gnawed.

"It's a pity, I haven't finished it yet. "The sloppy old man is distressed.

Cheng Hu knew that he couldn't live, so he closed his eyes. After a long time...... "Am I dead?" Cheng Hu opened his eyes and looked back to see that the servant had fallen to the ground. Then I saw a flying boat floating in the sky in front of me, and an old man came down from the boat.

Cheng Hu stepped forward and knelt on the ground and asked, "Grandpa Fairy, did you save me?"

The sloppy old man stroked off his beard and said proudly: "Of course, but since the old man found out that you have a spiritual root today, you will be a cultivator in the future." You can't call grandpa, you have to call seniors. ”

"No, you can't call seniors, you have to call master. I look at your head, heroic and cool, and you are very similar to the old man. I will accept you as a great disciple, and I will thank you quickly. The sloppy old man stared at Cheng Hu, his eyes shining.

"The master is above, and he is bowed to the disciples. Cheng Hu knocked his head three times.

"Okay, Master Wei is waiting for you here, giving you an hour to say goodbye to your family. The sloppy old man said.

Hearing this, the corners of Cheng Hu's eyes began to moisten again.

"Why are you crying? The sloppy old man was puzzled.

"I don't have a home anymore. Cheng Hu choked.

"There is no home, could it be that your father and mother were killed? The sloppy old man said.

"No," Cheng Hu shook his head.

"Birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature, don't be immersed in the pain of bereavement all the time. Cultivators live a long life, and as time goes by, you will find that there are fewer and fewer people close to you, and you will understand these later. It's not early, let's go, and we have to meet with our teachers and nephews" The sloppy old man waved his hand, and a floating cloud appeared at Cheng Hu's feet, lifting him onto the flying boat. Then he soared into the air, landed on top of Zhou Shou, pinched his hands together, and the flying boat turned into a meteor and disappeared into the sky.

Half a day later, on the flying boat. Cheng Hu sat at the tail of the boat, and the two teenagers next to him were dressed plainly, obviously children from poor families.

"Let me introduce myself first, the old man Zhang Yuwei is an elder of the Qingyu faction. This time, I personally escorted the person with the spiritual root to the Enlightenment, and I brought you with me. The sloppy old man got out of nowhere and took a bite of a chicken leg, and several people who watched it drooled.

"A few of you should also sign up, and you will come first. The sloppy old man said again.

"Back to Master, the disciple's name is Cheng Hu. Cheng Hu replied.

"My name is Xia Sanfei. The boy said. The other two, one is named Deng Tao and the other is Wu Hao.

"It's not early, my old man is hungry, let's go down and get something to eat." The sloppy old man said.

Several people rolled their eyes for a while, and the chicken legs didn't stop this afternoon.

A small city appeared in front of them, and the flying boat landed outside the city, and several people entered on foot. The streets are lined with pedestrians, and are lined with small traders and vendors. All kinds of cries continued, and Cheng Hu's eyes were dazzled. Cheng Hu has lived in a small mountain village since he was a child, and he has never seen such a lively scene. Deng Tao and Wu Hao next to them are not bad, and they can't wait to have a pair of eyes again.

"Take a look, take a look, the newly cooked xiaolongbao. ”

"Chicken soup and tofu skewers, squid and five cents. "The vendors are struggling to sell.

"Master, do you want to eat?" Cheng Hu's eyes were on fire, and his saliva was flowing out.

"It's really useless, I'm going to invite you to a big meal today, wouldn't the roadside stalls seem stingy. After speaking, he took a few people to the door of a restaurant.

The building is divided into two floors, the lower floor is bronze, and the upper floor is pale green, with elegant tones. There are all kinds of private rooms in the hall, and at this moment all the nobles who come in and out are dressed in gorgeous clothes.

"That's it. The sloppy old man strode in, and several people hurriedly followed.

At a table by the window, a few people sat down.

"Little Er, serve. The sloppy old man shouted, "Bring me ten roast whole chickens, fifty catties of beef, five lobsters of four catties of heavy, and a good daughter red on a big altar." ”

"Guest, the food here is very expensive. Xiao Er saw a few people in rags, and at first glance they were hillbillies from the mountains. If it weren't for the fact that the young man was still decent, he would have blasted a few people out a long time ago.

"Smack"

The sloppy old man slapped his palm on the table and shouted: "Are you still afraid that Lao Tzu will not be able to do it if he has no money? Hurry up and serve the food, uncle, I am not short of money." ”

Xiao Er left with a bitter face, and said secretly: "I won't be able to come up with the money for a while, see how I clean you up." ”

It didn't take long for the dishes to be served, and it was worthy of a large restaurant. Several people abandoned their chopsticks and grabbed them directly with their hands, gobbling them up for a while, as if they were reincarnated as hungry ghosts. Cheng Hu even stuffed it into his pocket while eating, wanting to pack it and take it away. The people around him cast strange glances, as if they had entered a zoo.
