Chapter 31 Once the morning goes away, the winter comes again
"Uncle Tiger, why are you holding on to your retreat? Don't you know that the car is empty?"
"kindness..."
"No! Any one of Xiaoxuan, Xiaobai, or Xiao Zhang will do. Anyway, don't call me your benefactor any more. You're going to kill this junior!"
"Well, if you obey your benefactor...ahem, then just call you 'Sir' like they do!"
"Uh...okay."
"Here's the thing..."
In the burning light of the bonfire, a group of people gathered around the fire, listening to Ruhu's rich voice, telling a long story.
When the fire weakened three times and Hong Qi added firewood for the third time, Ruhu finished everything and showed a relaxed look of relief.
Zhang Baoer and others did not look relaxed, they were all filled with sadness, anger and complexity.
What makes them sad and angry is the ruthlessness and shamelessness of Ruhu's master family, the "Lejia"; what is complicated is Ruhu's foolish loyalty.
The story begins three years ago. Ruhu's hometown is somewhere in the Death Mountains, an isolated small village. The small village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and no one knows how to practice. Although their life is difficult, it is stable and harmonious, but this
Life ended one day three years ago.
That day, a big snake with one horn and four legs came out of the water and slaughtered all the villagers. That day, Ruhu went up the mountain to hunt and escaped. He saw the big snake, and also saw his wife, daughter, relatives and friends.
How he was swallowed into the snake's belly, but he didn't move and watched all this happen!
1. Because he was afraid;
Second, it was because he once met a person. When he met that person, that person was already hopeless. When he was dying, the person told him: People can fly into the sky, escape from the earth, and turn over mountains and seas!
So, he had a dream and wanted to go out and have a look, but because of his wife and daughter, he always kept this dream in his heart.
Finally, when he watched his three-year-old daughter being swallowed and he was helpless, this dream came to his mind again, allowing him to see the possibility of revenge.
Later, he came out of the mountain with the spear and an animal skin that the man gave him before he died.
However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is always cruel, so he had no choice but to defect to the "Le family" and become a slave.
It took him nearly a year to understand and learn everything he needed to survive in this world. After learning the writing and knowing some things about cultivation, he spent another half a year becoming a monk without anyone's guidance, and became a monk.
In the end, he was favored by the head of the Lejia family.
Sometimes, it is not a good thing to be favored by others, especially when the identities of the two are not equal and the person in the top position is a greedy person. He is often sent to do some dangerous things, and he almost missed it a few times.
He died, but fortunately he finally survived and reached the late stage of foundation building as a monk.
The improvement of his strength makes him more and more valued by others, and the head of the Le family will ask him to do many things, because Ruhu is a down-to-earth person, and he will try his best to complete whatever is assigned to him.
Zhang Baoer asked him "why", and Ruhu told him, "The contract states that he will work for Lejia for ten years, and he must do anything no matter what." Zhang Baoer was immediately shocked!
Let’s stop talking and get back to the topic: A few days ago, Ruhu became a Foundation-Building Dzogchen monk; yesterday, the head of the Le family and the eldest lady found him and told him that as long as he could protect the car until dusk, he would be free.
Ruhu agreed without even thinking about it, even though he knew that this act would be dangerous.
Because, the day before yesterday, the 'Tianle Trading Firm' opened by the Le family in Luancheng bought a 'Blood Jade Flower' worth millions of gold from an ignorant casual cultivator for one hundred gold. Shortly after the transaction ended,
, I don’t know where the casual cultivator knew that what he was selling was a priceless blood jade flower, and he immediately came to buy it back.
The Le family did not agree. Since they were in a troubled city, they did not dare to kill anyone and silence them, so they could only let the people go and spread the news to the whole city.
The reason why Ruhu was found by the head of the family and the eldest lady was because the Imperial Master of the Chaoyang Kingdom issued a reward order. The reward was the 'Blood Jade Flower'. If it was delivered within a hundred days, a third-grade yellow-level flower would be awarded.
The treasure elixir, this elixir is called 'Broken Mirror', taking this elixir can increase the chance of monks in the foundation-building stage to vaporize the golden elixir by 30%, and become a high-ranking golden elixir monk.
The head of the Le family has been stuck in the Great Perfection of Foundation Construction for nearly ten years. How can he sit still after hearing about this reward and getting the Blood Jade Flower? Especially when there are only ten days left in the hundred-day period, and if you go from Chaos City to the Royal City,
If nothing else, it will take at least eight days.
As a result, the plan of "Building plank roads openly and attacking Chencang secretly" was launched. A total of ten people escorted the carriage like tigers, heading in ten directions respectively.
There must be a lot of people with the idea of intercepting someone halfway, but I don’t know which way the Le family father and daughter were taking and whether they were intercepted...
Zhang Baoer didn't think too much about it. The life and death of the father and daughter had nothing to do with him. He was more concerned about Ruhu. Although they had only met for a short time, he had a good sense of Ruhu. Besides, we were all people who had fought side by side, but
They are said to be comrades-in-arms.
"Uncle Tiger, has the contract been torn up or returned to you?"
Hearing this, Ruhu undoubtedly had his answer:
"No, I'll go back and ask them for help when the time comes. They said you can go to them at any time after it's done!"
Zhang Baoer said to himself, "Sure enough," it was not as expected. Although they had only known each other for a short time, he could tell from his experience that Ruhu not only had the head of a tiger, but also had a stupid head - there are no such people on earth.
You can see it everywhere, but you still encounter it from time to time.
"hey-hey..."
Zhang Baoer's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he smiled coldly:
"You want to be a white wolf with nothing?! No way!"
He learned from Ruhu that the existence of a contract does not matter in other places, but it is absolutely important in a chaotic city. If you don't dare to cause chaos in the city, you must be reasonable, and the contract is the reason!
Seeing his sneer, Ruhu asked curiously:
"Sir! What's wrong?"
"fine......"
Zhang Baoer didn't tell him, after all, it was just his own guess.
"Uncle Tiger, what are your plans for the future?"
"Sir! You..."
Ruhu was startled when he heard this. Regardless of his injuries, he struggled to stand up. Zhang Baoer quickly went to hold him down again, but before he could understand what Ruhu meant, Ruhu yelled in panic.
:
"Sir! What did Ruhu do wrong? Why don't you want Ruhu to follow you?!"
Zhang Baoer was stunned, stopped his movements, and asked with a strange expression:
"You...why do you want to follow me? You have a great ability. The world is so big that there is nowhere you can't go?!"
Boom!
As soon as he stopped, he struggled up like a tiger, and two of the cloth strips on his body were torn off, and blood oozed out.
"Uncle Tiger!"
"grown ups......"
Ruhu ignored the pain, pushed away the hands that Zhang Baoer and Yan Tie stretched out in a hurry, knelt on the ground with a thud and shouted:
"Ruhu's life is yours. If you don't like it, you can beat him, scold him, or even kill him! But please don't look down on Ruhu!"
Hearing this, Zhang Baoer suddenly realized - he remembered what Ruhu once said during the daytime fight: "If I can meet my benefactor, I will die without regrets like a tiger. If I am lucky enough to survive, from now on, my life will be that of my benefactor."
of!'
It turns out that if you don’t accept him as your follower, you’re looking down on him? That’s weird! Where is this custom? Why is it the same as the Great Western Wilderness?!
Thinking of the Great Western Wilderness, he couldn't help but feel sad, because the old chief, the red wolf, the Hulu Shiba, the big horse monkey, the cloud widow...these lovely faces were now turned into dust.
"Eh..."
He let out a long sigh, looked at the blushing Ruhu and said:
"Uncle Tiger, since you want to follow me, just follow me first. If you want to leave one day, just tell me... Okay? Get up!"
"no!"
Ruhu Wengsheng refused, shaking his big head and said:
"contract......"
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Baoer’s shout:
"What kind of contract is this? Stop chattering. If you want to follow me, just listen to me. Look! Xiaoha has been woken up by you! Go to sleep!"
"oh......"
Sure enough, it's like 'a good horse will be ridden by others, and a good person will be bullied by others'! Look, after this roar, Ruhu became obedient, got up and lay down obediently, without even daring to breathe.
"This is servility! It must be changed! Hong Qi and Hulu Baoguang are also shouting about the beast god all day long..."
After Zhang Baoer muttered a few times in his heart, he asked everyone to rest separately. After helping Tang Tiantian cover the kicked wolf skin, he walked to his own bed.
But he did not fall asleep immediately. He was thinking about why he felt tired during the day when he had sufficient physical and mental strength. After thinking for a long time to no avail, he looked at Tang Tiantian who was bleeding with diarrhea not far away and couldn't help but feel envious:
The thick lines that don’t know the feeling of sadness are so good. I didn’t wake up from the loud noise just now. It would be great if I could do that!
"Think about those eternal stars in the sky?"
Zhang Baoer smiled bitterly and shook his head in denial. After removing Xiaoha's legs from his belly, he closed his eyes.
...
Because Ruhu and Yeyu were injured, they stopped. On the third day:
"Eh..."
Looking at the words written on the ground, Zhang Baoer let out a long sigh. Yan Tie and others felt as if they had found a treasure. They stared at the words on the ground and memorized them without blinking. Hong Qi and Hulu Baoguang, who did not know much about literacy, looked envious.
Stay nearby.
Tang Tiantian said it was of no use to her and had already gone to play with Xiaoha and Duoduo.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
The mummy-like tiger noticed Zhang Baoer's disappointed look, so he asked aloud.
Zhang Baoer shook his head and told him that this wonderful method was useless to him.
When Ruhu heard this, he couldn't help but look sad. He was such a kind person that he actually felt the same way!
However, this made Zhang Baoer feel much better.
"It's okay, Uncle Tiger!"
He patted Ruhu on the shoulder, pointed at the big tree not far away and said with a smile:
"Don't worry about temporary gains and losses. A big tree in the sky will have to go through many ups and downs before it can grow. As long as you don't give up, I believe the clouds will clear and the fog will clear!"
Ruhu thought it was over here, but he was about to nod when he heard that Zhang Baoer continued:
"At that time, the sun shone brightly on the earth, the cold atmosphere gradually faded away, the rain and dew on all things were crystal clear, as dazzling as diamonds, and the birds were shaking their wings..."
In the distance, Tang Tiantian, who was competing with Duoduo to catch ants, curled her lips and whispered:
"Brother is crazy, ignore him! Let's continue fishing for ants! Hum hum... I will definitely beat you today!"
...
On the fifth day, everyone was on the road again. After Zhang Baoer heard from several passers-by coming out of Luan City that "the Le family is about to rise," he looked at Luan City in the distance as majestic and mighty as a coiled dragon. For some reason, his
His eyes were a little cold.
[Author's digression]: Thank you to those who can see this, thank you. Although there are very few people who can see it now, I believe that 'as long as I don't give up, I believe that the clouds will clear and the fog will clear!'.
Thank you again. I am very happy to know that some people are reading my book!
