Xiao Fuyi once said to the ruffian in private: "Why don't you tell him the news that our ancestor is dead?"
"I can't say. Although this little brat has no appearance all day long, he values friendship. Once you tell him the truth, you will know that the town is in crisis, and it is possible to fight to the death with the Grandmaster at any time. That way, he will be beaten.
Even if he dies, he won’t leave!”
For the next many days, there was no movement. Liu Shuzhu thought that the matter had been revealed. After lying in bed for so long, he was already upset. Before the injury was completely healed, he couldn't wait to go out and circle around the three leaders.
I called Hei Hu at his residence and went all over the town to find the little Lolita. I didn’t find her for a long time, so I went up the mountain on my own.
Black Tiger and he had the same disease, both had injuries on their buttocks, but Black Tiger's skin was rough and fleshy, and the injury had long since healed. It was a bumpy ride, and his buttocks were not daring to sit firmly, and there was a dull pain on the way to the ancient temple on the mountain.
In the temple, Xiao Fuyi was sitting on the floor in front of the temple, waiting for him there.
"Third uncle, aren't you in the town? Why are you here?"
Liu Shuzhu's face was full of vigilance, and he glanced at the stone slab behind the Buddhist niche from time to time, fearing that the hidden treasure would be discovered.
Xiao Fuyi brushed the dust off his sleeves: "This temple does not belong to your family. You can come, why can't my third uncle come?" He pointed at the black tiger and said, "Black-haired beast, you have been so lazy and lazy these years. How many times have you come?"
Even a little wolf dares to bully you. I think you are old. If you have the ability to hunt a bigger prey, let me see if you are a tiger or a cat!"
The black tiger puffed out, with a face full of dissatisfaction, roared violently, and got into the forest.
"Shuzhu, come here, Third Uncle wants to talk to you." Xiao Fuyi patted the stone steps beside him and said to him.
Liu Shuzhu sat down obediently as he was told, but after a long time, Xiao Fuyi remained silent.
"Shu Zhu, your name was given to you by your third uncle. Do you know why his third uncle gave you this name?"
Liu Shuzhu thought to himself: Isn't it because you planted a few broken willow trees and a few rows of bamboo in the yard, and you were so conceited that you read poetry and books and pieced them together randomly, so you got such a name.
Liu Batian, Liu Nitian, Liu Mietian, Liu Zhutian, Liu Ritian, Liu Tianyi, any one of them sounds a hundred times stronger than 'Liu Shuzhu', especially the last two, they are simply domineering.
To be a robber, the most important thing is to block the mountain and cut off the road. At that time, all you need to do is shout loudly and sound the bandit horn, which can make people frightened without fighting. If you jump out from the roadside, tell others that your name is "Xiao Tiantian"
, it’s amazing to be able to grab something!
The name is a good one, but it would be a waste to give it to a bandit. But he did not dare to answer like this, but pretended to listen to the teachings with an open mind.
"Willow is a weeping branch, with bones that can be bent, but not broken; bamboo is a hard joint, hollow and proud, but it would rather break than bend; the book has its own universe, sun and moon, which connects the heaven and the earth and is rich in ancient and modern times. No matter how profound the martial arts is,
All levels must be literate and hyphenated. According to legend, those profound ancient martial arts secrets were all written by Tian Wen. If you don’t know your mind and practice hard all your life, you will still be a layman. How much do you know about the profound meaning here?
?”
No matter what happened, as long as it came into Xiao Fuyi's mouth, no matter whether it was a gimmick or not, he could tell a trick. Liu Shuzhu listened in one ear and out the other, only pretending to agree.
"You grew up in a bandit den, but no one is born a bandit."
"I am." Liu Shuzhu argued forcefully, "It's great to be a robber. There are so many miserable people in the world. Who can be so lucky? When you are happy, you will rob others, and when you are unhappy, you will rob others. If the third uncle gets tired of it, the leader
Don't give up your position easily, I'll start as the 'third in command' first, which can be considered as experience."
Xiao Fuyi did not argue with him, but smiled profoundly: "The laws of the world will never change. The law of the jungle has always been the same, and it is natural. There is nothing wrong with being a robber. But to what extent do you think you can do it in the future? If the robber leader
Soft dough, who will obey you? If Third Uncle had not been promoted to Bigu, do you think those unruly men would be respectful to Third Uncle?"
Liu Shuzhu was right when he thought about it. Strength means everything, and being a king is no accident. In the robber den, whoever has the bigger fist eats meat first, and the rest can only drink soup.
"Those Grandmasters who are orthodox, if they weren't afraid of the ancestors who traveled far away, they would have joined forces to uproot the Thief Town. The Grandmaster is just a body of flesh and blood, but he can make thousands of people bow their heads. Why?"
Over the years, because Liu Shuzhu was too naughty and willful, every time Xiao Fuyi came to see him, he would basically be silent. It has been a long time since he had such a heart-to-heart talk.
The two of them sat together for half an afternoon before Black Tiger came back dragging a six to seven hundred kilogram mountain ox. He was panting for breath and was very tired, but he dragged the mountain ox in front of Xiao Fuyi's eyes with contempt.
"Go, go with the black-haired beast to the stream and clean it up, and let Third Uncle have a taste of your craftsmanship."
In the Buddhist hall, the aroma of meat was strong. Xiao Fuyi no longer avoided it, but Liu Shuzhu looked worriedly at the fragments of the clay body of the Clay Bodhisattva in the hall. His heart was hairy, and he didn't know what was going on with the blood in his brain.
"The outside world is so wonderful. Fairy mountains and secret valleys, turbulent shoals, ends of the earth... Are there immortal treasures, immortality, and the relics of saints? Do you just want to stay in the mountains for the rest of your life, guarding the broken stones?
What, a few glaring thieves, are you wasting your life?" Xiao Fuyi was good at tempting, and the beauty in his words was indeed fascinating, "Don't you want to go out and have a try?"
Liu Shuzhu had already found out clearly that Xiao Fuyi was just here to persuade him to go to the so-called 'Blackwater Academy' to seek martial arts. Good men have ambitions in all directions. When the ruffian just said it, he was already a little moved, but in this mountain, there are
There was too much friendship that he couldn't let go of.
"Have you ever thought that our ancestor is already one hundred and three years old, and the life-sustaining grass can only extend his life for seven years. After seven years, you are guaranteed to be promoted to the Grand Master of Martial Arts? You can't,
But Ji Zihao may not be able to do it. Yue Wang City has a profound foundation, and when the time comes, the bandit town may really have to disband..."
Liu Shuzhu pondered and didn't answer for a long time.
"Hey, when the time comes, your eldest father, your second mother, and your third uncle and I will all have to be torn into eight pieces by that kid. You and Xuan'er, you two just wait to go to the streets to beg for food, and you can't let others do it yet.
Recognize it!"
"Third uncle, what kind of trick did Big Daddy use to win you over? For such unreliable things, you should first turn your back on me and scold me!"
"Future!" Xiao Fuyi said decisively, and stretched out two fingers, "Ahem, there are still two kilograms of iron tree dragon flower tea."
Liu Shuzhu finally lowered his head: "The north is so far away and the future is uncertain. If I really go there, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back..."
"You're scared." Xiao Fuyi smiled.
Liu Shuzhu's mouth was full of oil and meat. When he grinned, there was really nothing in the world that could make him pee his pants. He looked up at the clouds in the sky, the majestic sky and the vast earth, and sighed: "I'm just afraid of separation..."
…
…
Xie Erniang was busy rummaging through boxes and cabinets: "After leaving the mountains, the weather outside has become cold, so bring more clothes to keep warm."
Liu Shuzhu nodded: "Yes."
"Also, pack a few more boxes of your favorite 'Lotus Seed Cinnamon Porridge', which will quench your thirst rather than drinking water. Don't eat the essence inside the 'Baicao Braised Yellow Lamb', just eat the tender meat outside. When the time comes
Don’t forget to ask someone to warm it over a gentle fire first…”
Liu Shuzhu nodded again: "Yes!"
"By the way, I almost forgot, deerskin boots don't keep your feet warm and wear out when you walk a long way. Just wait a minute, I'll go into the mountains, kill a white bear, and make you a new pair of bearskin boots.
!”
With that said, Xie Erniang was about to get the octagonal copper hammer standing by the door.
Liu Shuzhu called her three times before stopping her: "Er Niang, you forgot, Zhu'er is wearing bearskin short boots, new ones."
After confirming the itinerary, Xie Erniang picked up her weapon and went into the mountains alone in the middle of the night. She stayed at the place where the white bear passed for four days before encountering an unlucky bear. She skinned a whole piece and came back, and turned the bear skin into
The boots on Liu Shuzhu’s feet.
"One pair is not enough, so I have to have two spare pairs."
Liu Shuzhu hurriedly grabbed her hand and whispered: "Er Niang, you have sewn six pairs, and they are all in the box."
"Oh." Xie Erniang seemed to have lost her soul, and then she took Liu Shuzhu into her arms and cried loudly. She was neither charming nor tough.
"Mom, I don't trust you. If the teleportation array doesn't work, come back quickly."
Liu Shuzhu's eyes were also red and he nodded heavily.
Although he was an abandoned baby since childhood, he had a biological mother.
The ruffian stood aside and waited for more than half an hour. Knowing that if this situation continued, no one should leave. He hurriedly shouted: "Why are you crying? It's like you are about to leave. I'm escorting you all the way. Why don't you worry?"
!" He whispered again, "When I went on a long trip, I never saw you holding me without letting go."
Liu Shuzhu finally agreed to go to Blackwater Academy to seek martial arts. The journey was long, and the ruffians escorted him all the way. He first walked southwest, out of the mountains for more than two thousand miles, and then through the wilderness of a thousand miles before he could reach a city called 'Misty Rain City'.
The ancient teleportation formation is located in Yanyu City.
On the streets of the town, there were more than a dozen carts lined up, filled with large boxes, and more than twenty gangsters ready to go. They were all top-notch masters. The mounts used to pull the carts were all "antler-striped" ones who were good at long-distance attacks.
beast'.
A few days ago, Luyang Mountain sent people to deliver gifts and loaded more than a dozen carts of goods, but all of them were seized by the bandits along with the carts.
Luyang Mountain miscalculated this time and provoked the disaster star, who sent a lot of good things. Although it cannot be compared with the batch of goods that Liu Shuzhu robbed, after careful screening and unloading most of the goods, the town's treasure house was
All the spiritual treasures inside were loaded into trucks and emptied out. All the family property in Liangma Town for many years was here.
The group of people came to Xiao Fuyi's small courtyard again to say goodbye. Liu Shuzhu went up and knocked on the door, but the door was locked from the inside.
Xiao Fuyi didn't open the door and said to him from inside the room: "My third uncle is reading a book, so I won't send you off. But remember, after you go there, you need to restrain your temper and concentrate on practicing martial arts, so as not to lose the reputation of the town of thieves."
"
Liu Shuzhu knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no movement inside. He had to take a few steps back, knelt on his knees, and kowtowed three times, "Third uncle's instructions, Zhu'er has recorded them, please take care."
The side window in the house was opened a small crack. Xiao Fuyi stood behind the window and stretched his head to look outside. He was not reading at all.
The ruffian glanced at the window and cursed in a low voice: "Literati are just verbose, just pretending to be grandsons for the elders."
The gangsters stood on both sides of the street. As they passed by, many big men lowered their heads, with faint traces of tears on their faces. Liu Shuzhu stepped forward and scolded a few acquaintances for a few times. He was inexplicably moved.
"Bah, bah!" A big man spat twice in the palm of his hand. When no one was paying attention, he hurriedly applied it on his face. Regardless of his nausea, he said to the people around him, "Hurry up. Come here, come here!" That man was also there!
He was busy spitting and wiping it on his face, "Pretend to be presentable. If he doesn't feel sad when he sees you, he may know how to torture you after he returns from school!"
In the stone cell, the Luyangshan disciples who had been detained for many days were all alarmed. They scrambled to look out of the small window, wondering what was going on. One person turned his head and said, "Master Li, what happened to them today? They all looked like they were crying in mourning.
Yes, could someone be dead?"
The first person was none other than Li Xingpeng, the deacon of the outer sect of Luyang Mountain whom Liu Shuzhu had robbed a few days ago.
He was also unlucky enough. Originally he had little knowledge and knowledge, and had never paid attention to this group of ruthless bandits. Only now did he realize how powerful they were.
Last time, I lost my valuable goods and face; this time I tried to make amends and had the courage to ask for orders to go into the mountain to deliver gifts. Unexpectedly, I couldn't even get out. I had already hated these bandits and bandits deeply, and I stared at them and cursed them.
Said: "It would be better if they all died!"
The little Loli remained silent and followed Liu Shuzhu silently.
"I'm here to learn my skills, not to die. You look like you're at a funeral, how awkward it is." Liu Shuzhu stopped, waved his hand and gave her a blow, and the little loli was completely helpless.
In response, he lowered his head and rubbed the corners of his clothes.
Liu Shuzhu touched her head lovingly and held her in his arms: "Don't cry!"
The little loli's big eyes flashed, but after he said it, tears fell down and she wiped them with her sleeves.
"My master will learn his skills in a few years and will come back soon. By then, Xuan'er's tongue will probably be able to grow straight." The road ahead is difficult and it is impossible to take her with him.
Liu Shuzhu whispered to her mysteriously: "The small treasury has been moved and is hidden in..." He told her the location of the private items and warned her: "Foodies, save your food!"
"Liu Shuzhu, you are a big liar, you promised that you would never leave Xuan'er for the rest of your life!"
The little Loli cried and broke away from his arms and threw herself into Xie Erniang's arms. The two women were one big and one small, one crying more fiercely than the other.
Liu Shuzhu patted the black tiger's huge head again: "Please, you are just a beast. Can you not be so humane? I am not dead yet. Even if I am dead, there is no need for you to cry!"
Qingfeng is his companion, and the mountain tiger is his friend. To Liu Shuzhu, the black tiger is by no means as simple as a spiritual beast. He suddenly realized that the black tiger had a few white hairs vaguely mixed with it, and it was already a bit old.
The ruffian strode to the front, the most miserable scene to be seen.
"Set off!"
Everyone else had mounts, but he was the only one who walked. Because he was too heavy, his mount could not carry him far.
The convoy circled around and reached the Yongliang Ancient Road. More than a dozen cars and twenty riders drove toward the southwest, fading away in the eyes of everyone. The little Lolita quickly got on the black tiger and rode from a distance.
At the back, she sang the little love song that Xie Erniang taught her:
Wait until my hair grows to my waist~
My love is not old yet~
Who can ride a big white horse~
Carry me all over the mountains~
——
Wait until my hair grows to my waist~
Waiting for me to be in my prime years, I will be a demon (娆)~
Who will spend the spring night with me~
Happy marriage for a hundred years~
——
The mountain wind was steep, biting and slightly cold, and the team that left the mountain had walked for dozens of miles, but the childish singing was still lingering behind them, making Liu Shuzhu unable to bear to look back.
"Damn, the strong mountain wind has confused my eyes!"
Roar~
A tiger's roar was heard as a farewell, full of unspeakable sadness.
…
Many years later, Liu Shuzhu learned that on the night of his departure, firecrackers, gongs and drums were fired all night long in Xiangma Town for three days and three nights.
