The old man put Su Ruyu down after he was far away from the opera house. When he saw a tree next to him, he found a comfortable position to lean on it and take a nap. He was not worried at all about Jiang Ergou who was left behind him.
.
"Old man, nothing will happen to Ergou later!"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. There's no danger. The most you can do is get a beating."
As the old man spoke, he turned over, as if he felt it would be more comfortable.
"Old man, I think it's not very righteous for us to run away like this!"
"Oops! Why are you talking so much right now? If you say it's okay, then it's okay. You're worried! Ergou grew up in the mountains, and I couldn't bear to beat him. Although the years of practicing wooden swords and laying the foundation were a bit hard,
But he has never been beaten before, so let him learn a lesson this time!"
After hearing what the old man said, Su Ruyu finally calmed down.
After all, Ergou has been mostly looking for food these days, so leaving him behind would make him feel a little embarrassed.
Su Ruyu looked up for a while, but she still didn't see Ergou. She probably had a sore neck, so she rubbed it with her hands and sat down to rest.
…
Nearly two hours had passed, and Su Ruyu had fallen asleep and woke up again. As for the old man, he didn't wake up after lying down.
Su Ruyu was in a daze for a while after waking up. Maybe she felt a little hungry, so she picked up a pretty good-looking pear and took a bite.
Before he took the second bite, the sour feeling made him tremble uncontrollably. Although it was so sour that he could lose his teeth, Su Ruyu still swallowed it with force. After all, this was the only thing they had to satisfy their hunger, but not
Dare to waste.
Just when Su Ruyu found it hard to swallow, Jiang Ergou's listless figure finally appeared in the distance.
"Ergou, here! Here!"
After Jiang Ergou heard Su Ruyu's shout, he looked up and said nothing. He just slightly adjusted his direction and walked towards Su Ruyu.
When he arrived, he threw the baggage in his hand on the ground, fell down and fell asleep first. After all, he had climbed a tree to steal things and was beaten again. Even the two dogs couldn't hold on.
Su Ruyu looked through the baggage Ergou had brought back, and was shocked by the contents, and then she became happy again. It was full of sesame seed cakes.
Su Ruyu picked up one and took the same pear as before. It was sour and sweet and felt delicious.
…
At night, the moonlight was as cool as water. Ergou first reached out and rubbed his eyes, then turned over. It took about a quarter of an hour before he came back to his senses.
When he woke up, the first scene he saw was the old man eating a sesame seed cake and a half-eaten pear.
After these few hours of rest, Ergou had already recovered more than half of his energy and energy. When he saw the old man's unconcerned look, the suppressed anger in his heart burst out again.
"Old man! How dare you eat the sesame cakes I brought back? Where did you leave me just now!"
The old man didn't stop eating sesame seed cakes, which made his words unclear.
"Ergou, don't worry about whether these are good or not. If I don't leave you somewhere, can you get the sesame cakes back?"
"Old man, you mean, I should thank you!"
"There's no need to thank you. It's not easy for us to travel together in the world. Let's just treat it as if we all share the blessings and share the difficulties!"
The old man's words once again stimulated Ergou's heart.
"Old man, it's your intention to make it difficult for me to carry it, so you can enjoy it!"
"Ergou, you can't say that. I'm doing this to train you. Think about it for yourself, have you practiced Qigong well since you came out? I just want to teach you a lesson and hope you can practice Qigong well in the future!
"
"Old man, you..."
"Hey, there's nothing more to say! I really do it for your own good. If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Yuyu if I said this before."
"Ah! Oh!"
Su Ruyu didn't really want to cause trouble, so she just beat him up and fooled him.
In the end, Ergou was still defeated and expressed his strong will towards the old man with a cold snort.
Strongly dissatisfied.
After he stopped arguing, he remembered that he had not eaten for a whole day. He touched his shriveled belly and took a sesame seed cake and a pear to eat.
The ensuing atmosphere was a bit strange. No one wanted to speak first, but Ergou still couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked the old man.
"Old man, you said before that the fruit farmer was practicing martial arts. What do you mean?"
"Hahaha, Ergou, in fact, this martial arts training can be divided into internal and external martial arts, but it is difficult for the external martial arts to break through to the third level, so it is almost not popular now, but occasionally you can still meet one
Two."
"Then old man, why is it so difficult for a foreigner to break through to the third level?"
"How do I know this? I'm not a foreigner's martial artist. It's probably because I lack the support of mental methods or the breakthrough method has been lost. I only know that this foreigner's kung fu has been cultivated to the extreme, and it can be achieved with the power of the physical body.
He can split mountains and break rocks, and drive rivers across mountains. It can be said that he is not weak."
"Actually, this external martial arts is very effective. From the seventh to ninth level, those who practice the external martial arts can basically beat those who practice the internal martial arts. But it is different when it reaches the fourth to sixth grades. Because at this time, the internal strength has already
The defense of the outside family can be easily broken, so in turn, the outside family is suppressed. Only when they reach the third level, the inside family and the outside family are not much different from each other, and each has its own advantages."
"Old man, didn't you just say that there are no outsiders who are third grade or above? Now, why are you saying that the top experts from the outsiders and the top experts from the inside are equally divided!"
The old man suddenly jumped up and hit Ergou hard on the head.
"When did I say there's no such thing! It's very difficult to break through to level three! It's not that there's no such thing! What are you listening to?"
Ergou jumped up after being knocked on the head, and then you could see a pimple popping up.
"Ouch! Old man, why don't you be gentler? It hurts me to death."
"Be gentle? I'm afraid you don't have a long memory!"
"Old man, you just cheated me, and now you..."
"Trick? When did I trick you? I told you it was..."
The two masters and apprentices fell into a quarrel mode again. Su Ruyu, who was watching on the sidelines, was extremely speechless, shook her head, and fell asleep.
The moonlight was quiet, and the years were peaceful. The noise of the master and the apprentice could be heard far away in this relatively spacious land. Coupled with Su Ruyu who was tossing and turning on the side pretending to be asleep, it happened to form a chaotic but instead
A picture without losing the harmony.
…
Three days later, at noon, it was almost hot summer. The scorching sunshine shone on the faces of the three of them, and dense beads of sweat dripped down.
Their pears were exhausted yesterday, but they could not find a source of water to replenish them. By now, they had not had any water for half a day.
When it was time to have lunch, the three of them looked at each other with their sesame cakes, feeling that they couldn't eat them.
"Put it away! I'm already thirsty. If I eat this thing again, I won't choke to death!"
The old man knew that they couldn't swallow this food even if they were hungry, so he asked them to put it away and continue on their way.
By the afternoon, the scorching heat of the summer had subsided a bit, but the thirst of the three of them had not diminished by half. On the contrary, it only worsened as time went by.
"Ergou, what should I do? I...I think if...if I can't drink water anymore, I...I'm going to die of thirst."
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. There is always a way."
Just when Su Ruyu was about to lose control, a family appeared in front of her like a flower in the dark.
"Look! There's a house there. Let's go borrow some water."
"Ergou, but we don't have anything to hold water!"
Su Ruyu reminded Ergou on the side, and then the old man who had been standing quietly beside him spoke in a low voice.
"I have a wine flask here."
"Flag! What flask? Where did it come from?"
Ergou was a little suspicious when he heard what the old man said.
"I was drinking in a hotel earlier, and you got into trouble because I didn't finish the wine! So I asked the landlady for a wine flask to put it in."
"Old man, if you have wine, why didn't you bring it out earlier?"
"You didn't even ask!"
As he said that, the old man slowly took out the old gourd.
Reed-shaped wine flask.
Ergou took it over and shook it, only to find that it was already empty.
"Where's the wine?"
"I finished drinking it two days ago!"
"Okay, old man, you are really good. I asked you why you didn't talk much in the past two days. It turns out you were hiding this thing! Your shabby robe is big enough! You are covering such a big wine bottle tightly.
To be honest, it didn’t show at all.”
Then, he didn't care about the old man hiding the wine. He had finished drinking the wine anyway, so it was more important to go to that house to get some water.
Ergou and Su Ruyu walked slowly towards the house. As soon as they entered the yard, they could see a well. Next to the well was a large water tank filled with water.
Ergou resisted the urge to rush over to get water, walked under the eaves and knocked on the door.
"Is there anyone here? People from all over the world have traveled here. Could you please ask for a bowl of water?"
After the words fell, no one came to open the door. Just when Ergou couldn't help but knock a second time, the door opened.
The person who opened the door was a woman who looked to be in her thirties. Her eyes were a little dull, as if she hadn't woken up yet.
Her eyes only stayed on Ergou for a moment before she lost interest. Instead, it was Su Ruyu behind Ergou who aroused her curiosity.
"Hey, where did this young master come from? He looks so handsome."
With that said, he crossed over Ergou and came to Su Ruyu, stretched out his jade hand, put his finger on Su Ruyu's chest and said.
"Sir, if you need any help from me, just tell me!"
Not to mention being handsome is an advantage! Although Su Ruyu has been living in a very miserable life recently, her clothes have become old and torn.
But I can’t stand up to others because I have a good foundation! The handsomeness between the eyebrows can’t be concealed no matter how hard I try. Coupled with the polishing during this period of time, Su Ruyu’s already tall figure has become a bit stronger, and she is a scholar.
It has a unique bookishness, and it really makes people take a second look.
"Ah...hehe...girl, I don't need any help, I just want to ask for a bowl of water."
"Oh! Look, I'm really careless. I didn't even notice your chapped lips. It's really distressing for me. Come with me quickly, I'll get you some water right now!"
As the woman spoke, she put her finger on Su Ruyu's lips and caressed her. With her other hand, she took Su Ruyu and walked to the well. She looked like a young daughter-in-law. Ergou beside her could not bear it for a long time.
I smiled, but I was feeling uncomfortable holding it in right now.
The woman took Su Ruyu to the water, first scooped a ladle of water from the water tank for him to drink, then turned around and went back to the house to get a handkerchief, wet it and wring it out. If you look closely, she should have used it herself.
That's right.
After Su Ruyu finished drinking, she stepped forward and wiped his cheek, wiping off all the dust and other things on his face. At this time, Su Ruyu's demeanor as a young master from the capital regained a bit.
Looking at the fresh and refined Su Ruyu, the woman couldn't help but nod her head and said: Not bad, not bad. After reminding the two dogs to help themselves to water, she turned her attention back to Su Ruyu.
Ergou was enduring a huge smile at the moment, but he also knew that he couldn't stay here for long. Although he was happy to watch Su Ruyu get into trouble, he also knew that if he stayed for a little longer, Su Ruyu would go crazy.
The two dogs quickly drank up a large gourd of water, and after filling the jug, said goodbye to the woman.
The woman nodded in agreement with a face full of reluctance, but just when Jiang Ergou and the others turned to leave, the woman actually stepped forward and pinched Su Ruyu's butt.
"If the young master is not in a hurry to leave, you can still stay one night! I will boil a pot of good wine for the young master tonight!"
This sentence can be said to have scared the soul out of Su Ruyu. Regardless of the strange feeling coming from her buttocks, she ran away in a hurry. Ergou naturally laughed and followed.
After they walked away, the woman's smile gradually disappeared, revealing a cold look on her face.
"There is no doubt that he is the son of the Su family in the capital. The plan is launched!"
After finishing speaking, the woman looked at the palm of her hand that was holding Su Ruyu's butt.
"You look really handsome! I almost made the slave family reluctant to kill you!"
As soon as the woman said the word "kill", she suddenly clenched her fists, as if she wanted to catch Su Ruyu in her hands, and murderous intent surged out of her body!
