On this day, Watson still didn't go to find his sister after getting up.

Because the old man wanted to pester him to tell stories, and for the first time, the old man patted his chest and said that as long as his story was exciting enough, it could be as good as the stories he told before.

He can make an exception and help Watson find his sister, senior brother and others.

As a result, Watson calmed down, adhering to the principle of taking things as they come.

I cooked meat porridge and boiled water for tea. I also washed my sore body under the cold mountain spring.

The old man watched Watson hanging the washed clothes to dry under the eaves. He couldn't help but frowned and said, "How can your clothes be used in this weather?"

After filling his stomach, Watson laughed lightly: "It's okay, I'll just treat him as if it's a sunny day with the sun shining brightly."

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but said softly: "You think it's sunny when the sun is shining. It seems that there is more sunshine than darkness in your heart."

Watson shook his head and said: "I am timid and have been hiding under the sun. Although I am forced to have no choice from time to time, I must go under the abyss and walk a few times..."

The old man was shocked and asked: "Say it as if you have seen darkness!"

Watson was stunned and blurted out: "How do you know I have seen darkness?"

The old man smiled and said lightly: "Because sometimes you have no choice at all. Even if you stand under the sun, your feet are still stepping on his face."

When Watson heard this, he felt cold, as if a cold wind had penetrated his neck, and he couldn't help but twist his head.

He said softly: "So, I have to practice hard. You have to face some guys even though you know you can't kill them. Since you can't run away, you might as well kill them with one sword."

He did not say any more, because the old man dropped two pieces of Lingcha into the pot and blocked his mouth with a cup of boiling Lingcha.

For Watson, the temptation of a cup of spiritual tea is obviously more effective than fine wine.

Unfortunately, at this moment, a few more snowflakes fell from the sky, and a cold wind blew so hard that the whole mountain seemed to be clogged with resentment.

The old man was afraid that Watson would be cold, so he waved his hand to summon a large fire pot, then lit the charcoal inside, and laughed while looking at the slowly burning flames.

He smiled and said: "With tea and fire, you should continue telling stories."

Watson looked up at the top of the snow-capped mountains hidden in the clouds and mist, and sighed softly.

I originally thought that it would take a lot of effort to find my sister and others, but in the end I just spent a few days drinking tea and wine with the old man and telling stories.

If you tell me, the old monk probably won't believe it.

Not to mention Zhu Jiu, Jiang Qingqing, Xiaoxue and others who were eagerly waiting for him to leave the secret realm.

He even had a premonition that the meteorite he wanted would also fall on the old man.

Because the old man only mentioned six of the seven weapons, is it possible that he had to listen to his own story first before taking out the last earth-shattering weapon?

Clearing his throat, Watson looked at the old man and said with a smile, "Don't worry, let me think carefully about where to start."

…

It is said that the town is so small that there are only two medicine shops, one named Chen and the other named Wang.

The family surnamed Chen lives at the south gate of the town, and the family surnamed Wang is not far from the Watson family, at the north gate.

There are few people in the town, so the two drug stores naturally do not focus all their business on making money from the people in the town. They collect elixirs from all over the country and sell them at a good price in distant counties.

.

Just like Watson's father and mother, they don't earn the same money as people from small towns.

They will also take spring, summer, autumn and winter specialties from the mountains around the town to large places to sell them, and then exchange them for cloth, porcelain and other groceries that the town needs and bring them back.

Originally, the couple came to the town not to make a lot of money, but to retire and spend their time here with their two children.

But I didn't expect that where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes.

Although the grievances in the world did not fall on Watson's parents, it also changed Watson's original destiny of quietly becoming a business boss.

That night, it was drizzling in the sky. It is said that such weather is suitable for hiding in bed and sleeping and dreaming.

Unexpectedly, just after arriving at Haishi, there was a burst of gongs, drums and shouts from the north door. Watson woke up from his dream, took his hand and walked out of the house.

Watson rubbed his eyes and looked, but suddenly he screamed.

Across a not-very-wide street, the Wang's Drug Store, which was only fifty feet away from them, was already blazing with flames. I was afraid that my store would harm Chi Yu, so I quickly called out to Watson.

Dad Fengzhongjian led a group of neighbors to help put out the fire.

For a moment, the north gate was full of shouts and screams. Even though it was raining lightly in spring, it could not resist the burning fire.

Fortunately, through everyone's efforts, the fire did not spread, and the flames across the street did not reach the Watsons' shop.

Just like this, Watson was so frightened that his hands and feet became weak.

This was the first time in his life that he saw such a big fire. A huge Wang's Pharmacy was gone.

That night, all the surviving members of the Wang family were taken to Watson's grocery store by the Sword in the Wind, and there was no place to sleep.

Rumeng and Fengzhongjian made several bunks and finally settled the frightened people of the Wang family.

It was almost Yin time when I finished all this.

The frightened Watson gradually fell asleep under the comfort of his dream. Half asleep, he half understood what the adults said.

In the end, I only heard my father comforting Shopkeeper Wang and saying: "The wind blows the egg shells..."

The next day, Watson woke up very late. When he got up, everyone in the Wang family had already left the grocery store and stayed temporarily at a relative's house.

In the following days, rumors spread throughout the town about the fire that night. Someone was jealous of the Wang family's business and wanted to burn down the medicine shop and then sell it at a low price.

In the days that followed, Watson's father and the shopkeeper Wang of the drug store disappeared in the town for some days, and they did not even tell Watson where his father had gone even in his sleep.

Later, Feng Zhongjian took the shopkeeper of the Wang family back to the north gate.

The Wang family's medicine shop was rebuilt with the help of Feng Zhongjian, but this time, instead of using wood, the first floor was made of bluestone, which only country people would use.

It wasn't until the medicine shop was almost built that the shopkeeper of the Wang family bought some food and wine and came to Watson's house, saying that he wanted to thank the Watson family for their help.

That night, Shopkeeper Wang and Feng Zhongjian were both drunk, and Watson finally knew the truth of the matter.

It turned out that someone in the small town fell in love with Wang's medicine shop, so he found bandits two hundred miles away and set a fire in an attempt to force shopkeeper Wang and his family away.

After finding out the truth, Feng Zhongjian and Shopkeeper Wang went to the bandit's lair, and then the two disappeared in the town for a few days.

Although the Chinese cannot practice spiritual practice, they still know that their parents are powerful people, so they are naturally not surprised.

I thought that in the future, I would be like my father, a man of chivalry and justice, willing to take revenge.

It turns out that small towns are rivers and lakes.

At noon the next day, shopkeeper Wang came to Watson's house to drink tea. He looked at Watson and sighed and said, "Watson, do you really want to practice martial arts?"

Watson smiled bitterly and said, "I think so, but dad said I was born with a strange disease."

Shopkeeper Wang shook his head, looked at him and said seriously: "If you were replaced by me and your shop was burned down, would you be desperate?"

Watson thought for a moment, nodded vigorously, and replied: "Definitely."

Shopkeeper Wang sighed again and said, "But your dad doesn't have one?"

Watson thought thoughtfully and replied: "So Shopkeeper Wang is not desperate."

Shopkeeper Wang said: "Yes and no! Without your father's help, I would be really desperate."

After saying that, shopkeeper Wang took out a cloth bag from his arms, took out three pennies and put it in Watson's little hand.

She looked at him and said, "My mother gave this to me a long time ago. She said this bag of money is precious and she cannot spend it even if she kills her."

Watson was stunned, looking at the three shiny copper coins, and thought to himself that when shopkeeper Wang was fine, he often took out these coins and counted them for fun.

After thinking about this, he laughed and said, "Is it possible that shopkeeper Wang's money is the same as my sister's? Is there a story?"

Shopkeeper Wang looked at him and clenched his fists, and said quietly: "That story is too long. My mother told me that this is not an ordinary bag of money, but confidence."

Watson laughed when he heard this and asked: "But this is obviously a bag of copper coins?"

Shopkeeper Wang said: "It's also confidence. My mother said that as long as she carries this bag of money, she can straighten her back wherever she goes and have the confidence to overcome the difficulties she encounters..."

Watson nodded, looked at him and replied: "So, Shopkeeper Wang's confidence is my dad? With my dad here, Shopkeeper Wang can defeat the bandits and build another house."

Having said this, Watson took out the three cents given to him by his sister and looked at Shopkeeper Wang and laughed.

After arranging the six pennies together, I realized that shopkeeper Wang's three pennies were indeed more shiny than my sister's three pennies.

"My sister gave me these three cents. Please, Shopkeeper Wang, please mark the three cents you gave me. I will not spend them in the future."

Shopkeeper Wang did not expect that Watson actually understood what he said, and immediately asked the sword in the wind for a knife, and carved a leaf on the three pennies as a mark.

Then he touched Watson's head and said: "This leaf represents the elixir and Watson's confidence. No matter where you go or what difficulties you face in the future, you must have confidence in yourself."

Watson couldn't put it down when he saw Shopkeeper Wang's three cents. He carefully put it together with the three cents wallet his sister had given him and put it away close to his body.

Then he looked at the sword in the wind and said: "My sister said that three cents represents father, mother and sister, saying that our family will always be together."

"Watson originally had little confidence, but today shopkeeper Wang gave Watson three cents to show his confidence."

Feng Zhongjian looked at Shopkeeper Wang and laughed: "I didn't expect that you, a medicine seller, would teach my son his first lesson in life. Not bad, thank you!"

Shopkeeper Wang sighed and said leisurely: "When it comes to thanking you, it should be me. You are my confidence."

Watson held the sword in the wind in his hand and chuckled: "Father and mother also have Watson's confidence."

…

Having said this, Watson reached out and touched the three shiny copper coins in front of him, gently touched the three leaves carved by Shopkeeper Wang back then, and smiled lightly.

Looking at the old man, he said: "Senior, my confidence comes from many places. My parents and my master are some things that cannot be said, but these three cents have undoubtedly given me full confidence."

The old man couldn't help but sigh heavily when he heard this, and laughed loudly and said: "My child, you have a father and mother that you can be proud of, whether they are by your side or not."

Watson smiled, thinking about some of the changes in his sister over the years, and couldn't help but said softly: "Senior, I have a sister, and she also gave me confidence."

The old man nodded and said: "Not only are you confident, you also have family ties that make the old man envious!"

The mountain breeze was blowing, and the cold wind was getting colder. Unexpectedly, a pot of charcoal fire was blooming in front of the two people.

Looking at the ten cents in front of Watson, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the old man's old and tired eyes.
