Chapter 2: Going out of the block (three strokes) One day, the mountain suddenly disappeared like a blood bubble that had turned into calluses on its feet, and there were only a few traces left.

The scenery in front of me suddenly opened up and boundless. I don't know when the wilderness began. Several "small hills" lie down in the distance. They pushed up the semi-circular blue sky above their heads with their backs. The sky was pure and blue, so blue that there was no scum at all.

Under the blue sky, the slightly yellowed wild grass rolled up and down, reflecting layers of wind, but the waist-length grass was rising and falling, there were no cattle and sheep hidden inside, there were no wild animals, no stones, except grass, there was nothing big river, just at the top of the grass tip, floating south like silk ribbons, no bridge, no crossing, and no sail shadows. If it weren't for the sound of water coming along the wind, you wouldn't believe it was the real existence

"Ao!" Everyone in the caravan went crazy, threw down the animals, and ran towards the river regardless of everything. This is Rushui, a narrow and seasonal river on the grassland! Seeing this river means that the caravan has completely walked out of Yanshan and came to their first destination, the nomadic area of ​​the Xi tribe.

Walking out of Yanshan not only means that the success of this trip is also the reduction of the chance of encountering bandits. Everyone can make a stable money safely. Almost all young vendors rushed out. Regardless of the autumn cold of the plateau, they drank enough with the river water in their hands, and pulled off their clothes that could not be distinguished and threw them on the tip of the grass, and walked into the center of the river naked.

Li Xu found that his arms and thighs had become stronger. After picking up half a load of old mud, the muscles on his body tensed out from under the skin, and his shoulders, which were always worn out at the beginning of the trip, can no longer feel any pain and wash away all the mud and dirt. Those places that once burned fire became smooth, flat, like flesh mats, completely different from the skin elsewhere. This is a trace left by life. From then on, he will be with him forever.

Xu Dayan also turned into a savage, standing naked in the water, and using river mud and grass roots to clean his body with the vendors. The cold wind coming out of the river had already frozen his fair skin into a light red, but he couldn't feel the coldness of the river water at all, just flipping water to his body, as if only in this way could he turn himself into a man.

After resting on the banks of the Rushui River for a night, Sun Jiu and everyone left again and were no longer suppressed by the shadow of the mountains. The caravan quickly became active, especially Du Chai and Wang Ermazi, who thought he had made his first contribution to hiring swordsmen, and his voice was particularly loud.

"Where is Xu Gong, Xu Gong! Help me tighten my horse's belly and my luggage is crooked, and I push it up. Why are you so stupid? You can't even do such a small matter!"

"Xu Gong, Xu Gong, hang this package on the horse's back for Uncle Du. You are so big and upright, why are you so stupid!"

Before he knew it, Li Xu became the young follower again. He had the experience of that night. He had completely recognized the "kindness" of these uncles and uncles, so he agreed not so happy. Even if he couldn't refuse, he tried his best to be "stupid". He either frightened the animals or used too much force to push the luggage tilted to the right. He would not use too much force and break the straps in a row. However, his own and Xu Dayan's luggage and livestock were always taken care of, and he would never fall apart halfway.

Everyone couldn't help but feel angry. Sun Jiu was suppressing him. Everyone didn't dare to complain too much. After complaining a few times, they decided to use other means to let the kid get some lessons.

The best way to attack a young man is to isolate him. The lakes have walked more bridges than Li Xu have walked, and they soon found the best strategy to clean up him. So, Du Chairen, Wang Mazi and others quickly became history fans, and they surrounded Xu Dayan and took the initiative to ask him to talk about the past and the present.

Young people all have their desire to express themselves, and Xu Dayan is no exception. Although he was cultivated by the standards of wisdom and courage since childhood, his eyes often find secrets that others cannot find, but generally speaking, he does not have too deep cunning in his heart and quickly falls into the trap of the ** Lakers.

From Huo Qubing sealed the wolf and Juxu, Ban Chao threw his pen to joining the army, to General Fu Bo's horse leather, Xu Dayan told him that he could come to the grassland to see the footprints of his senior heroes, which made him excited. He was already knowledgeable and eloquent. He was intentionally or unintentionally helped by Wang Mazi and other **hu Lake, and soon became the core figure of the caravan. Even Sun Jiu, Zhang San and those knowledgeable swordsmen liked to surround Xu Dayan during rest, drinking a bowl of hot water, and then listening to this knowledgeable young man who talked about the past and the present whenever he was resting.

At this time, Li Xu always sits outside the crowd, quietly thinking about his own thoughts. To be honest, he used to be jealous of Xu Dayan, but now, his eyes looking at Xu Dayan were very peaceful. After that day, he realized that it was his own and Xu Dayan's origins that were different, which determined that the gap between them now. When he was still swaying mud with his friends along the small river in front of his hometown, Xu Dayan had begun to analyze and summarize the essence of "Lüshi Chunqiu" under the guidance of the teacher. When he and his friends were carrying grass baskets to chase rabbits, Xu Dayan practiced a horse spear, and he had just started to learn to read and enlighten him. Xu Dayan had already recited "Sun Sun"

Zi's ​​Art of War, Wu Zi's Art of War, Huangshi Gong Sanluo and Sima Fa. His highest goal in life was just to be a county's household. Xu Dayan took on the burden of the rise of the Xu family since he was born (Note 1) This gap cannot be overcome in a short period of time. He is also to avoid being a small mistress who died halfway through the road. Xu Dayan was to find a suitable price and time to sell his skills to fight the two armies. Xu Dayan could use his good family as a good family to ride a horse and dance a spear, accompany the commander to charge in the battle. He wanted to save money to buy a qualified spear, and he had to run on this trade road for at least three years!

But these gaps are not natural barriers, and they can be made up slowly with personal efforts. Uncle Jiu said it well, don’t bully the young man and he is less than fifteen years old. He has time to learn. In fact, he has learned a lot from Xu Dayan. The most important thing is that he is no longer the one in Yixian County School. He knows nothing except books and has no rivals among his teenagers of the same age. He has no rivals in everything he does.

Thinking of himself when he was in Yi County, Li Xu found that he was indeed worth it. No matter whether he made money in the end of this business, he saw many things he had never seen before and understood many life principles that he could not have understood before.

‘Maybe, this is growing up’ The boy sat next to the fire and quietly told himself that the little wolf Ganluo was squatting at his feet, looking at the beating flames, and a string of golden light flashed in his eyes.

Three days after leaving Rushui, the caravan arrived as scheduled. The place where the largest tribe of the Xi people was located was despair. The large tribe on the grassland disappeared. It was empty, leaving only a few thousand tilted wooden stakes, and the traces left by the felt bags seemed to tell the vendors that they were not lost, but the owner had something to do with great things. Tens of thousands of family members migrated collectively to the unknown place after the autumn.

The vendors held their heads and squatted on the ground one after another, except for Li Xu and Xu Dayan, all of them had only one purpose, that is, to make a quick money while the weather was just getting colder every year. In this season, the Hu tribes will decide how many old and weak livestock will be slaughtered based on the amount of hay collected in summer and autumn. A large number of male livestock will be sold. The price of dried meat and raw skins will fall to the bottom in an instant. As long as you finish this trip safely, laughter can be heard in the vendors' homes throughout the winter.

However, the Xi tribe migrated to the grassland and started to use the trick. The Xi tribe, which can provide exquisite blankets and sharp swords, migrated. The vendors suffered a major blow before opening. The Xi tribe migrated. Other small Xi tribes must have followed suit. If everyone cannot sell the goods in their hands before the snow falls, this transaction may be lost. If they do not turn around and return south, the sudden blizzard on the grassland may swallow up all the small caravans.

Some people began to sigh in a low voice, and more people began to curse the Xi people for being immoral. They refused to inform the two leaders of the caravan, Sun Jiu and Zhang Sanze, with their faces turned pale and walked a little further to discuss how to face the current dilemma.

The sudden blow made Li Xu feel very confused. Before leaving, the first place he agreed to for his father and he was that the Xi tribe came to the fierce Turkic people. The Xi tribe has a much calmer temper. The more important point is that this tribe is close enough to the Central Plains. If there is any disturbance in my hometown, Li Mao could ask the caravan to send the news as quickly as possible. All these arrangements fell into the circles left by felt bags on the empty grassland with the relocation of the Xi tribe. It seemed that the Xi tribe had the temperature and told Li Xu that your plan was perfect, but the world was changing too quickly.

In the vast dusk, the traces of the felt bag emitted wisps of white smoke and evening breeze blew, causing people to curse and lament to spread from afar to tell all the creatures nearby that a group of people were trapped here.

"Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao-Ao

"Ao-Ao-Woo!" The little wolf Ganluo sang and sounded like a boy who had just begun to develop. The slender, hoarse and desperate people were immediately attracted by Ganluo's inappropriate actions. They glared at it and Ganluo knew that they had caused trouble. He let out a low whimper, jumped up, and escaped behind Li Xu.

"It's all this wolf cub, it's a disaster!" Wang Mazi suddenly jumped up and pointed at Li Xu and cursed.

"Yes, I've told Brother Jiu long ago that he would not take this wolf cub and be born in a defiant Ji. He is definitely not a good thing. He just doesn't listen, but he just doesn't listen. Look, the disaster is coming!" Du Chai was furious, holding his sword, stood up from the ground, and accusing him loudly.

It was all this little bastard who loves to cause trouble and his little wolf. As soon as he set off, everyone made the first move and everything went wrong. He paid for the money while walking around the kiln in Jixian County. He met this little disaster star and messed with other people's business, which made him almost soft and gambled and exchanged luck. Instead, he lost more than 100 articles.

"The disaster star must be it!" People could not explain why the Xi people migrated before they arrived sooner or later, and exuded their resentment.

"It's not a disaster star!" Li Xu stood up straight, blocking the little wolf Gan Luo like a mountain. Du Chuang and others disliked him. He had known about bullying these people along the way, so he could tolerate it. But Li Xu could not let them hurt Gan Luo. This little wolf was his partner, his only friend except Xu Dayan.

The little wolf Ganluo jumped out from behind Li Xu, with his forelimbs beneath, his hind legs tense, and his throat made a whimpering low roar. This threatening move scared Du Chai and jumped to the side. Unexpectedly, he tripped and rotten wood under his feet, and suddenly kowtowed a dog to bite shit.

"Ao-Ao, wuwu!" Gan Luo let out a victory roar, shook his sharp ears disdainfully, and squatted beside Li Xu's legs and several people watching the fun laughed. Although life was bitter, if you face it seriously, you can always find some interesting jokes when you unexpectedly.

"You two disaster stars, do you have you or not today? Let's drive away this little wolf!" Du Chai got up with laughter, and with a "clang", he pulled out most of Wang Mazi and followed him, holding a wooden stick in his hand, staring at Gan Luo with a fierce look.

Li Xu was stunned. He didn't expect that someone would look up at everyone so shamelessly, but found that many of the vendors believed Wang Mazi's words, thinking that today's accident was caused entirely by Gan Luo, and a few sober people were in a state of watching the fun and ignored the behavior of Wang Mazi and others. He did not expect that, and his father had never reminded him to look around, wanting to ask Uncle Jiu for help, but found that Sun Jiu and several swordsmen didn't know where they went, and they could not be seen nearby.

"Drive that little wolf away, otherwise everyone will continue to be unlucky!" After being confused by Wang Mazi, or simply to find a reason to vent his anger, more than a dozen sad vendors held the hilt of the knife and slowly leaned over with their hands behind their backs.

"It's not a disaster star!" Li Xu murmured to defend himself. He was forced to retreat step by step by step by step. Du Chai was in a state of power and was unforgivable. He stretched out his big hand and was about to pull him aside. Sun Jiu said that everyone was not allowed to bully this gangster. I'll drive away the wild wolf, there's no problem!

The pain from the tip of his fingers told Du Chai that he touched the hard stubble and raised his old face full of scars. He saw his fingers being broken into a right angle by a pair of white but powerful palms.

"Hey!" "Straitor" Du Craven and Wang Mazi cursed in the same voice, one quickly shrank his fingers back, and the other hugged his feet and jumped around the ground with his feet hanging around the ground, Gan Luo lay in front of Li Xu, holding half of his straw sandals in his mouth, and a dark light appeared in his eyes.

"If you want to fight, come with me and fight and weapons, you two can choose whatever you want!" Xu Dayan passed by at some point, stood beside Li Xu and said to Du, Wang and others.

"You! You are rebelling against me!" Du Chai swung his fingers that were broken and scolded Xu Da's eyes incompletely.

"It was you two who were disrespectful to the old man and scared him first - uncle! Mazi - uncle!" Xu Dayan replied with a long voice and gently raised his toes, kicking a long wooden pole abandoned by the Xi people when they moved into the air, reached out and handed it in his hand, and said to everyone: "Go together, who else wants to bully people? I'll let you bully me!"

How could Wang Mazi and Du Chai Lu lose their power in front of a junior? He pulled out his short knife and jumped forward viciously before Li Xu found a handy guy to fight. Xu Dayan was calm and stabbed the wooden pole to the ground. He stroked it left and right, and the two old villains had already rolled out like gourds.

This trick was really beautiful. Even several vendors who tried to follow Du Chai Fu and punched Taiping Fist behind him were scared and covered their waists and slowly retreated. Du Chai Fu. Seeing that the people were about to dissipate, Wang Mazi shouted, got up from the ground, trying to work together to find the place. He just took a step. His knee was hit by a wooden stick again in the same place as last time. His legs became weak and he fell to bite the dog.

The two villains couldn't get up, and lay on the ground, humming and began to cry and scold Xu Dayan for bullying the elderly. He scolded Li Xu's father for being unkind, and made a disaster star son to ruin the money. Everyone scolded other vendors for being cowardly. Even though he knew the disaster star was by his side, he did not dare to show off the first few vendors who had been with Du Chai and were squeezed into a dead corner, and he surrounded him with his waist knife again.

Xu Dayan felt angry when he saw it. The wooden pole fell and hit the grass beside him. "Shut up and gossip me anymore, don't blame me for trying to bully the few people with more people? Who dares to step forward? My surname is Xu, promises that no store in the entire Henan counties will accept your goods!"
