Li Yuan swept the courtyard, swept it here and there, and found a piece of silver.
He bent over and picked it up, without any thought of keeping it for himself. He put down the broom without hesitation, walked into the house and came to Mou Ying, handed the silver to him, and said: "Uncle Mou, my nephew picked up this piece of silver on the ground. Please give it to me."
uncle."
Mou Ying took the money, feeling very happy and said: "Go!"
After Li Yuan walked away, Mou Ying said: "This kid is loyal and honest, Sigong, you can find a way to help him eliminate the case."
Luo Sigong said while playing chess: "I know, no problem."
For ordinary people, trying to absolve Li Yuan of his guilt is simply a dream, and it is harder than reaching the sky. But for Luo Sigong, it is a piece of cake for Zhang Fei to eat bean sprouts.
Wu Kunshan said: "Wood, did you throw away this silver on purpose?"
Luo Sigong smiled and said: "Big brother must have done it on purpose. Big brother wanted to test this child."
Mou Ying said: "Yes, I want to test him."
Wu Kunshan slammed a chess piece in his hand onto the table, making a "pop" sound, startling everyone, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "It's a test. If you don't want to take me in, just say it clearly, there's no need."
Let’s do this.”
Luo Sigong said: "Brother Kun, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry? You're right. You should always test a stranger and feel his character."
Wu Kunshan shouted: "That's right, I just can't stand it." As he said that, he pushed the chess pieces around on the board and said, "No more moves, I'm not in the mood to play any more."
Mou Ying thought to herself: "Where did I go wrong? What's wrong with a test? You are really incomprehensible."
When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, knowing that Wu Kunshan had no reason to mess with things and was unwilling to argue with Wu Kunshan over this matter.
He didn't know that his move stung Wu Kunshan's pain.
Wu Kunshan's family was poor, and he didn't know where his next meal would be after his first meal. In order to keep him fed, his father sent him to Wudang Mountain to be a Taoist boy since he was a child.
He is very smart and extremely talented in martial arts. He is a martial arts wizard who has not been seen in a century. Ye Jinquan has a keen eye and sees this very quickly. He feels that he is a good young man and is willing to accept him as his disciple and cultivate him into a good person.
If you want to be Ye Jinquan's disciple, you must not only have high talent, but also have good moral character and good conduct. If you don't have good moral character, Ye Jinquan will not accept him as a disciple, even if he is a martial arts wizard who has not been seen in thousands of years.
In order to examine Wu Kunshan's character, Ye Jinquan used the same method as Mou Ying. The result was that Ye Jinquan was disappointed and Wu Kunshan embezzled the money.
Ye Jinquan was furious and drove Wu Kunshan off Wudang Mountain. Wu Kunshan refused to leave and could not afford to kneel in front of the Zhenwu Temple. He knelt for more than a month. Fortunately, the Taoist boys had a good relationship with him and secretly gave him
He gave him food, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long.
As time went by, Ye Jinquan's anger gradually subsided. He felt that Wu Kunshan was from a poor family and was born in a poor family. He was born in a poor family, so he would inevitably attach more importance to money. Removing items without repaying them was not stealing. It was not considered a bad character. At most, it only meant that he was greedy for money.
, loving money is not a shortcoming, as long as you get it in the right way.
Ye Jinquan decided to test Wu Kunshan again. This time the test method was very cruel. What made him happy was that Wu Kunshan successfully passed the test and became his first disciple, the top disciple.
The failure to report the missing items left Wu Kunshan with an everlasting pain in his heart. After all these years, it still lingers. Every time he thinks about it, he feels uncomfortable for several days. He has not told anyone about this scar on his body.
Wu Kunshan said angrily: "I'm going out for a walk, you can have dinner, don't wait for me." After saying that, he walked out of the house and saw Li Yuan standing blankly under the eaves, with tears in his eyes.
Li Yuan heard the conversation in the house just now. He felt very uncomfortable about Mou Ying's test. He felt that Mou Ying should not distrust him. His self-esteem was hurt. This home made him feel strange and cold. He didn't want to
Continue to stay.
Wu Kunshan said: "Yuanzi, did you hear what we just said?"
Li Yuan resisted the tears from flowing out and said with a bitter smile: "No, what did you say?"
Wu Kunshan said: "It's fine if you don't have it."
Mou Ying heard their conversation in the hall and thought: "This kid must have heard it. It's a good thing that Brother Kun got into trouble."
After Li Yuan cleaned the courtyard, he returned to the east wing, picked up a pen, and wrote a note with tears in his eyes. After the ink dried, he put it in his arms.
After dinner, Li Yuan and Mou Rongtian continued to practice martial arts under the moonlight. Seeing that Li Yuan was distracted and worried, Mou Rongtian practiced martial arts in a mess and without any structure, so he asked: "Brother Yuan, what are you thinking about?"
Li Yuan thought about where he should go after leaving Mou's house. He couldn't go back to his hometown. The world was huge, but he didn't know where he could stay.
Li Yuan was unwilling to reveal these thoughts to Mou Rongtian and said perfunctorily: "I didn't think about anything."
Turning off the lights at night, Sanjie and Luo Sigong slept in the main room, and the four brothers lay on the kang, chatting endlessly. Li Yuan and Mou Rongtian slept in the east wing. In the past, they would chat for a while before going to bed. Today Li Yuan and Mou Rongtian slept in the east wing.
The body was very abnormal, lying on its side with its back to Mou Rongtian, without saying a word.
Mou Rongtian was very smart and guessed that Li Yuan was unhappy because his father was testing him, so he didn't say anything more.
Li Yuan lay on the kang and stayed awake until midnight. When he saw Mou Rongtian sleeping soundly, he got up and went to the ground, put the note in his arms on the table, and left Mou's house.
There is only one city gate in Muping County, which opens in the south of the city. The city gate is closed at night. This is not only the case in Muping County, but also in most of the city gates in the Ming Empire.
Li Yuan came to the city gate, sat in the corner, and waited for dawn to leave the city.
In the early morning of the next day, Mou Rongtian got up early, but Li Yuan was missing. When he came down from the kang, he saw a note on the table, so he picked it up and read it.
Mou Ying was cleaning her face in the yard, and Mou Rongtian ran out of the house and shouted: "Dad, Brother Yuan is gone. This is the note he left."
Mou Ying took the note and saw it read: "Uncle Mou, brother Rongtian, I'm leaving. Thank you for taking care of you for many days. I will come back to see you in the future."
Mou Ying was very unhappy and thought to herself: "This child must have left in anger because of what I tested him for. How could this child be so ignorant like Brother Kun? Does such a trivial matter matter? He is too small-minded.
I can’t bear the grievance.”
Mou Rongtian said: "Brother Yuan's parents are dead and he has nowhere to go. Dad, we have to find him back."
Mou Ying said: "Yes, I will go find him right now as a father."
Mou Rongtian said: "My child will go with you."
Mou Ying said: "You stay at home, there is no need for you to go."
Mou Rongtian said: "Then you must get brother Yuan back."
Mou Ying said: "Don't worry, he shouldn't be far away, and my father will definitely be able to find him. Even if I can't find him, won't you still have your Uncle Luo?"
Li Yuan left Mouping County and headed south, walking aimlessly. He didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food last night. He had something on his mind and couldn't eat. At this moment, his stomach was empty and his stomach growled with hunger.
He saw a cemetery not far away, and wanted to find some sacrificial food to fill his stomach, so he walked over.
In front of a grave, he found a half-burnt steamed bun. The steamed bun was dirty and moldy. He didn't care, so he picked it up and ate it.
As he was eating, he heard a noise behind him. He looked back. It didn't matter if he didn't look. This sight scared him out of his wits. Not far away, he saw a big bad wolf glaring at him with evil intentions and walking slowly towards him.
Come.
This is a smart big bad wolf. He knows that there is food here and often comes here to hang out. Li Yuan was also unlucky and met it while eating a broken steamed bun.
Seeing that there was an unexpected harvest, the big bad wolf was so excited that saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Li Yuan didn't want to be the big bad wolf's breakfast. Although he was very frightened, his feet were not soft and he could still run away. He couldn't be beaten, so he had to run away.
When he saw a big tree next to the grave, he stood up suddenly and rushed towards the big tree with all his strength.
When the big bad wolf saw that he was about to run away, how could he let him go? He was also hungry and needed Li Yuan to fill his stomach.
Li Yuan definitely couldn't outrun the big bad wolf. Fortunately, the initial distance between the two sides was far away, and the big tree was close to Li Yuan. Only then did Li Yuan have the opportunity to climb the tree and escape.
The big bad wolf refused to give up and circled around the tree, hoping to fight a protracted battle with Li Yuan.
Li Yuan couldn't stop shouting "Help!" until his voice became hoarse. He was in the wilderness and there was no human beings at a glance. He shouted for a long time and it was just like he didn't shout. It was a waste of energy.
Later, Li Yuan figured it out and couldn't continue to act so recklessly. He had to save his voice and wait until he saw someone passing by before shouting.
He hugged the tree trunk, stepped on a tall fork, looked down at the wolf, and said: "You blind thing, I'm so skinny, you can't fill your stomach even if you eat me, hurry up, maybe somewhere
There is a fat man waiting for you.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go. Don't stay here. Even if you stay here until the end of the world, I won't let you eat. My father died unjustly, and I have to save my life to avenge my father. I can't do it now.
die."
The big bad wolf circled around the tree for a long time, seemed to be tired, and lay down on the ground to take a nap.
Li Yuan was so angry that he said: "You are still asleep, I will let you sleep." He took off his belt and peed on the wolf.
The big bad wolf was startled, thinking it was raining, but the rain was not that warm. When he looked up, he howled and howled angrily.
Li Yuan finished draining the water, put on his trousers, and said, "Brother Lang, are you satisfied with the taste of my urine?"
The big bad wolf had a look of hatred in his eyes.
I don't know how long it took, but Li Yuan saw a strong man carrying a hoe appearing in the distance. He was so happy that he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Uncle, help me..."
The strong man looked for fame and shouted: "Child, what's wrong with you? Why are you calling for help? Did you climb too high and you can't get down? You unlucky boy, why are you climbing so high? Wait, uncle will come and help you."
Li Yuan shouted: "No, uncle, there are wolves here. There is a big bad wolf under the tree. It wants to eat me."
"Wolf!" The strong man shouted in shock, wiped his head and ran away.
