Chapter 1 Romance(1/2)
In the land of Shu, outstanding people have appeared in large numbers since ancient times. Many legendary stories are widely circulated in the world, such as the strange knights of Shu Mountain flying to the sky with swords, the Tang people dominating the world with hidden weapons, etc. Of course, those legendary stories are left by the predecessors.
No one knows whether what came down is true or false, and no one has seen it with their own eyes. But in reality, there are many people with superb abilities. The characters in fantasy also evolved based on their stories, but they were just deified.
.
Qianlong Town. Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a dragon who was knocked down to the mortal world by the Emperor of Heaven for violating the rules of heaven. He then transformed into a human and came here to practice in the mountains. He did a lot of good deeds for mortals. Later, he was summoned by the Emperor of Heaven and transformed into a dragon and flew into the sky.
In order to commemorate this dragon, this place was named Qianlong Town.
In the hot summer, the sun is like fire, and the heat invades the earth one after another. The dog hides under the thick shade of the trees and sticks out its tongue. The cicada cicada clings to the high-pitched chirping between the branches, as if to remind people not to forget its existence.
, but its cry exposed its hidden voice. An old man was walking under the shade of the trees, and suddenly became aware of the unusually noisy cry of Zhizhi. He picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it at the place where Zhizhi was hiding.
Go, there was a "squeak" and then it became quiet.
The streets of Qianlong Town are sparsely populated at this time. People basically stay at home to escape the scorching heat. Only some small vendors still insist on selling their goods to passers-by under the scorching sun. A little girl about eleven or twelve years old wears a straw hat on her head.
Standing in front of a watermelon stall, she wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeves from time to time. Whenever someone passed by, the girl would always sweetly ask her uncle or aunt if she wanted to buy a watermelon? This little girl's name is Xu Fang.
She is big but very well-behaved and sensible. It is during the summer vacation. She uses her spare time to help her parents run a small business. At this time, she comes to replace her parents and go home for lunch.
Under the shade of a house directly opposite the watermelon stall, a thin and ragged little beggar was staring closely at the green watermelon, using his tongue to lick his dry lips from time to time, and his eyes were full of longing for watermelon. In this case
How comfortable would it be to eat a piece of sweet watermelon on a hot day? But this can only be his fantasy, because he has no money, so he can only keep swallowing his saliva.
Seeing the little beggar opposite who kept swallowing his saliva, Xu Fang suddenly felt that this little beggar who was similar to her own age was very pitiful. She could eat watermelon anytime she wanted, but he couldn't! Thinking of this, Xu Fang felt sorry for him.
The little beggar smiled sweetly, took a watermelon from the melon cart and split it in half with a knife, then walked up to the little beggar with the watermelon.
"I'll give it to you, little beggar."
The little beggar looked at Xu Fang with wide eyes and confusion, feeling a little unbelievable, but in the end the temptation of watermelon defeated everything, he took the watermelon and started to devour it.
"Hehe, eat slowly." After Xu Fang finished speaking, she jumped back to her watermelon stall and sat on the pony. She felt very happy when she saw the little beggar opposite who was eating watermelon.
In school, teachers often teach students to help others, and today I finally helped others.
The little beggar’s name is Zeng Yi. Both of his parents died when he was young. Some time before his parents passed away, some relatives and neighbors saw him as pitiful and helped take care of him. But gradually they felt that he was a burden, so they no longer cared about him.
Zeng Yi lost his care and had to live on the streets and became a beggar. Fortunately, there are still some good people in this world who occasionally gave him some old clothes and leftover food for the children at home, so that he did not starve to death.
Or freeze to death.
"Little girl, how do you sell this watermelon?"
“Brother, it’s 3 cents a pound, it’s very sweet!”
Seeing someone coming to buy her own watermelon, Xu Fang quickly stood up from her horse and said sweetly to the person in front of her.
"Open one first and I'll try it. If it tastes good, I'll buy it."
Standing in front of Xu Fang was a man in his twenties. His originally black hair had been dyed into colorful colors, his ears were pierced with several piercings, and he had long, sinister eyebrows. At this time, he was standing in front of the watermelon stall.
His feet were shaking like a convulsion, and his sneaky little eyes were wandering around on the watermelons in the car. He looked like he was in need of a beating, and he was certified by the ISO9001 international quality system.
He was a little gangster in this town. He had just returned from drinking in a restaurant with some friends. When he was feeling thirsty on the road, he found a little girl selling watermelons, so he walked over to make some money.
"Okay, here you go!" Xu Fang took a watermelon from the car, split it and handed it to him. Xu Fang was quite confident about her watermelon, because it was grown at home and had just been harvested from the ground.
Picked from the watermelon, it is completely cultivated with natural fertilizers from germination to fruiting. It is a pure green fruit. Isn’t it unreasonable for the watermelon cultivated with hard work not to be sweet?
After eating the watermelon, the man clicked his tongue with unsatisfied content. Suddenly his face changed to a fierce attitude. He smashed the watermelon rind in his hand to the ground and said viciously: "MD, what kind of broken watermelon? It's not sweet at all! Don't buy it.
Come on!" After saying that, he was ready to leave.
Xu Fang was anxious because she had to rely on the money from selling watermelons to pay for the second half of the year's tuition. Now he ate it but refused to buy it. He also said that his watermelon was not sweet. This was just to deceive him into eating the watermelon. She ran
He went up and grabbed the young man's sleeve and said loudly: "Brother, you haven't given me the money yet?"
"Money? What money? I didn't buy your watermelon!" The man looked vicious. Xu Fang was young and didn't know how to deal with it. Tears welled up in her eyes at what he said, but she still held on to his hand tightly.
The sleeves refuse to let go.
"Let go! If you don't let go, I'm going to beat you!" After the man said that, he stretched out his hand, pretending to hit Xu Fang. Xu Fang was so frightened by him that she finally started crying.
Hearing Xu Fang's cry, Zeng Yi, who was eating watermelon, quickly put down the watermelon in his hand and ran over.
"You should give people money after eating watermelon, but you still beat them, how shameless!"
When the man heard Zeng Yi's voice, he quickly turned around and saw a ragged little beggar standing behind him, staring closely at him.
"Ouch! You still want to imitate others and become a hero? How dare a little beggar come to take care of my affairs?"
The man simply ignored Zeng Yi. A stinky little beggar came to imitate other people's chivalry and righteousness. He was so stubborn! He turned around and started to pull Xu Fang's hands that were grabbing his sleeves, trying to walk away.
Hearing the man's laughter and scolding, Zeng Yi's eyebrows jumped a few times, he clenched his fists and took a few steps forward. He stretched out his hand and pulled Xu Fang behind him to protect her.
"I am a beggar, but I am better than you. I also know how to save face, but you are not even as good as a beggar!"
Although Zeng Yi is a child, he has no fear at all when facing a man who is more than ten years older than him. His childish face is full of determination.
"MD, you're seeking death!" The man was obviously touched by what Zeng Yi said. He stretched out his hand and slapped Zeng Yi hard. Zeng Yi had been emaciated due to lack of nutrition for a long time. Besides, when the man was angry, the force of this slap was quite strong. Zeng Yi
Yi was slapped to the ground, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and five bright red finger prints immediately appeared on his face.
"Little beggar, are you okay?"
Seeing Zeng Yi being knocked to the ground by the man, Xu Fang immediately knelt down and stretched out her hand to help Zeng Yi, crying and asking.
"It's okay! Don't cry!" Zeng Yi said and wiped Xu Fang's eyes with his dirty hands. Xu Fang did not avoid it and stopped crying obediently.
Zeng Yi slowly stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand, walked a few steps towards the man, and said: "If you don't beat me to death today, I swear that I will seek revenge on you sooner or later!"
"You're so stubborn!" The man slapped Zeng Yi again. Zeng Yi was slapped to the ground again, but Zeng Yi stubbornly stood up again and walked to the man's side, looking at the man coldly with a pair of black eyes.
"What a bastard!" The man once again extended his hand to Zeng Yi, but this time he waved his hand in the air but was stopped by a loud shout.
"Stop! Bullying a child like this is really hateful!"
The man turned around and saw an old man standing behind him. The loud shout just now obviously came from the old man. The old man had kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a ruddy complexion. Although his hair and beard were all white, he was still full of energy and energy, and did not look old at all.
His eyes were bright and bright, flashing a fierce light from time to time. At this time, the old man was glaring at the man, and it could be seen that he was very angry at the man's behavior.
The man looked back at Zeng Yi and then at the old man. It was so dark that it was strange. What kind of evil did I encounter today? First a little beggar made trouble for me, and now there is an old man. Does he think I am easy to bully or something?
?Thinking of this, the man said to the old man fiercely: "Old man, I don't care about you! You should leave quickly! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
The old man ignored him, walked straight to Zeng Yi, touched his red and swollen face with his hand and asked kindly: "My child, does it hurt?"
Zeng Yi nodded and looked at the strange old grandfather in front of him with a pair of childish eyes. The old man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then touched Zeng Yi's face with his hand. Zeng Yi immediately felt that there was something strange on his face.
The pain is as burning as before.
When the man saw that the old man ignored him, and the threat just now seemed to be ineffective against the old man, he suddenly became angry and clenched his fist and hit the old man on the back. Seeing that the fist was about to land on the old man's back, the old man just flicked his hand back slightly.
After neutralizing the man's attack, the man took a few steps back. The old man's figure was like lightning. He appeared in front of him in a blink of an eye and clamped the man's wrist with two fingers. The man was startled and quickly used all his strength to try to kill himself.
He retracted his hand, but it seemed to be fixed in mid-air, unable to move at all.
"You bullied a young child first, and then you disrespected me. You really deserve a beating!" The old man squeezed the man's wrist with two fingers and exerted a slight force. There was a click, and the man's wrist was broken. The man grunted in pain.
Then the whole body started to tremble.
"Having your hand cut off today is a small punishment. If you do something wrong again one day, I will definitely kill you! Get out!" The old man released his two fingers and returned to Zeng Yi.
The man lost his previous arrogance, and the cold sweat on his forehead kept falling. He held his severed hand and looked at the old man who had his back turned to him. Knowing that he had met an expert today, he glared at the old man fiercely and ran away in panic.
"Child, what's your name? Why do you want to help her?" the old man asked, touching Zeng Yi's head lovingly.
"Grandpa, my name is Zeng Yi. Because she gave me watermelon to eat, and I hate that person. She worked so hard to sell watermelon, but he didn't give me any money after eating it." After Zeng Yi finished speaking, he pointed at Luohuang with his little finger.
The man who fled then looked at the strange old man in front of him.
Zeng Yi! Justice! What a good name! Repay kindness and have a righteous heart. Yes! The old man immediately had a definition for the thin Zeng Yi in front of him, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes when he looked at Zeng Yi.
"My child, if you want to be a hero, you must have super skills. Are you willing to follow me? I will teach you good skills." After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Zeng Yi in front of him, with a little something in his eyes.
expectations.
After hearing what he said, Zeng Yi thought about it. He had been begging in society, living a life of full meals and hungry meals, and often looked at other people's eyes. If he continued like this, he would only be a beggar for the rest of his life.
But I don’t want to be like this. I want to be like a normal person. I want to go to school and live a life where I have food to eat when I’m hungry and clothes to wear when I’m cold. Thinking of this, Zeng Yi made a decision in his heart.
"Grandpa, can I go to school? Can I not go hungry or freeze?"
"Okay, okay! Everything is okay!"
The old man actually showed a hint of excitement after hearing Zeng Yi's words. The fact that Zeng Yi could ask this showed that he was willing to go with him. His own kung fu had a successor. It seems that God is still caring for me. I finally found him in his old age.
his successor.
"Okay! Then I'll go with you!" Zeng Yi clenched his little fist as he spoke, as if he had made a difficult decision.
"Okay, good boy, let's go!"
The old man took his little hand and was about to leave, but Zeng Yi suddenly stopped after taking two steps and looked back. The old man followed his eyes and found that he was looking at Xu Fang, and he immediately understood him.
I wanted to say goodbye to Xu Fang.
"Go!" The old man nodded slightly to Zeng Yi.
Zeng Yi quickly walked up to Xu Fang and bowed deeply to Xu Fang. "Thank you for giving me watermelon to eat. My name is Zeng Yi. I will come to you after I learn my skills well."
"Zeng Yi, are you leaving? Don't forget to come find me in the future!" Seeing that he was leaving with the old man, Xu Fang suddenly felt a little sad, but this had nothing to do with love, because they were just children who did not care about the world.
