C10 Again encountering the cataclysm

Thus, Shaoming and his sister started their working life at the tofu shop.

During the day, they worked in the store. At night, when they returned home, they would study kung fu with the old beggar. In the morning, they would also get up early to practice. It could be said that they were very diligent.

The town they were in was called Putian Town, which could be considered big, with about a few hundred families. Outside of the town, there were all kinds of paddy fields and farmlands. However, this did not seem to have much to do with this small town, where people only lived a simple and peaceful life. The two of them lived a peaceful and simple life. Unknowingly, two months had passed.

It was said that the Imperial Advisor's side had been defeated and retreated to the border area, which was simply not optimistic. The entire country of Da Kui was originally under the control of the Dragon King, and the several neighboring countries all had a close relationship with the Dragon King, so they all supported him.

If nothing changed, the Dragon King would ascend the throne and be known as King Daqui.

Seeing that things had come to this, Shao Ming's heart, which he originally wanted to return to, gradually became cold. His days were like water, and he had gradually gotten used to living here. When he thought back to his home in another world, where he had his parents and brother, where his parents could be taken care of by his brother, but he could not be filial, he could not help but sigh.

Seeing that Shao Ming had something on his mind, little sister frequently wanted to know the reason, but Shaoming refused to tell her.

The days continued to pass peacefully, and everything was abnormally calm.

A few more months passed. It was already winter, and it would probably not be long before the New Year arrived.

The mortal world's New Year was bustling with noise and excitement. There were lanterns and decorations everywhere, along with the sounds of fireworks.

It was snowing heavily, and Shaoming came back with a pot of wine and set it on the stove to chat with the old beggar.

The old beggar said, "Little brother, how long have you been here?"

Shaoming said, "It's been five months. It's almost New Year's!"

The old beggar replied, "Yes, it's been more than five months. How are the martial arts I've taught you?"

Shaoming said, "Thanks to brother's teachings, I've already mastered it. But the internal energy cultivation method you taught me is really useful. I'm wearing such thin clothes in this heavy snow, so it's no big deal!"

He tugged at his thin coat.

The old beggar said, "Both you and younger sister have high comprehension abilities, so you are naturally suited for martial arts. However, martial arts can only be done for self-defense. Do you understand?"

Shaoming said, "Of course!"

The old beggar sighed and said, "Unlike me, who entered the martial arts world a long time ago, I can't even withdraw now!"

When Shao Ming heard this, he was startled and doubtfully asked, "Brother, what do you mean?"

The old beggar smiled and said, "It's nothing. I was just casually saying it. Come, let's drink!"

The old beggar said as he took down the jug of warm wine, poured out two bowls of wine and drank from it.

Shao Ming didn't hesitate and immediately drank from the bowl. He immediately felt refreshed.

The old beggar laughed loudly, "Awesome, delicious!"

Shaoming also laughed out loud: "Bro, let's have another bowl!"

In the past, Shaoming didn't drink alcohol, and ever since he started drinking with the old beggar, he had also gotten a lot of alcohol. But now that he had the internal energy that the old beggar had taught him, no matter how much he drank, he was still very good at getting drunk.

Just then, the younger sister brought out two large dishes from the kitchen and said, "Don't just focus on drinking and eating! I've been doing it all morning! "

The old beggar and Shaoming picked up their chopsticks and drank as they ate. The younger sister also ate with them.

The old beggar said, "Little brother, I'm going out for a trip. I think it'll be a while before you two can live a good life at home!"

Shaoming said, "Where are you going?" Why are you gone so long?! "

The old beggar continued, "Don't ask about this. There are some things that aren't good to know. I'm rather envious of the two of you. It's as simple as living with the world. When I come back, the two of you will be married!"

When Shaoming and his sister heard this, they were surprised. They had never thought about getting married. Even though they promised to take care of their sister, getting married was something impossible.

Shaoming said, "Brother, we are only siblings, how can you say we get married? Moreover, sister is still young, so let's talk about it in the future!" "Come, drink up!"

The old beggar said, "Old brother, you guys aren't young anymore. Which girl here isn't married at the age of fifteen or sixteen? "Haha, look, sister followed you for so long, you can't keep following her like this. You have to give her a name at least, otherwise she won't be afraid of others gossiping!"

After thinking for a moment, Shaoming said, "Let's discuss this matter again!"

The little sister did not say a word. The old beggar looked at the little sister, then looked at Shao Ming, and said: "That's good too! As for your decision, this is what I have said. I will set off tomorrow. You should grind and sell your tofu properly! Don't forget to train! "

Shaoming said, "How could I? I train diligently every day with the things that I've learned from my brother!"

The two of them picked up the large bowl and continued drinking.

On the second day, it was still snowing heavily. The old beggar left his house early in the morning and went on a long journey. Shaoming and his sister saw him off. Then they all went to the tofu shop to grind and sell tofu.

A few days passed just like that.

Old Li walked over and put down a bag of beans. He then asked Shaoming, "Bro, do you know where Old Tie is going?"

"Big Bro said he's going on a long trip and refused to tell me where he's going. He said he'll be back in a while!" Shaoming said.

Old Li shook his head and sighed, saying, "Old Tie's going out on a trip this time, I'm afraid the odds are against him!"

When Shao Ming heard this, he was immediately shocked. He hastily asked, "Brother, where did you come from?"

Old Li said, "Sigh, don't ask anymore. Since Old Tie isn't willing to let you know, then let him have his reason. You should live here properly and not get involved in the world outside!"

As Old Li spoke, he left in large strides. Shaoming stood there in a daze, wondering if the old beggar was doing something dangerous? To settle the grudge in the martial arts world?

Shaoming couldn't help but worry for the old beggar, but it wasn't good to ask Old Li, so he frowned and continued to grind the tofu.

When night came, Shaoming and his sister were sitting inside the house, roasting food. Shaoming felt that something was wrong and felt uneasy in his heart, he said, "Sister, I always feel that something will happen to Brother when I go out this time. I have been worried for a long time!" I wonder what's going on! "

The younger sister said, "I think he must have been someone from the martial arts world before. Could it be that he and my grandma were both hidden from the world?"

Shao Ming said, "That's hard to say. Big Bro said he's going to do something, maybe he's going to understand some Jianghu grudges. I can see that his words were very thoughtful, so he's definitely not simple!"

The younger sister said, "Then what should we do?"

Shaoming said, "Big Bro, you've done us a favor. If he's in trouble, we'll definitely help him!"

The younger sister said, "But this seems to be a matter of the martial arts world. I don't want us to be involved, and I don't want us to be like this. Besides, we don't know where you went or where you went to find him."

Shaoming said, "It really makes one feel conflicted! Sigh! Why are there so many things in the martial arts world?

The younger sister said, "In the past, Grandmother had told me that when people are in the martial arts world, they often have to act uncontrollably. This is also something that cannot be helped. We should try our best to avoid any problems in the martial arts world!"

Shao Ming drank a mouthful of wine and said, "Let's not talk about it. Let's rest first. We'll talk tomorrow!"

He went back to his bed and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, when Shaoming and his sister were asleep on their bed, they were suddenly awakened by a sharp knock on the door. Shaoming quickly got up, and the girl hastily dressed as well.

Shaoming walked up to the door and asked, "Who is it?"

A voice came from outside, "It's me, Old Li! "Quickly open the door!"

Hearing this, Shao Ming hurriedly opened the door. Under the moonlight, he saw Old Li supporting the old beggar as he walked in, his body covered in blood.

Shao Ming was greatly alarmed. He hastily went up to support the old beggar and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

The old beggar was gasping for breath, his chest was bleeding and he could not speak. Old Li said, "Stop talking, quickly close the door!"

Old Li helped the old beggar onto the bed in the lobby, and the younger sister hurriedly took out a towel to cover the old beggar's wound.

The old beggar had a pained look on his face, his eyes wide open as he panted heavily, blood trickling down from the corner of his mouth.

"What's going on?" Shaoming asked.

Old Li said, "I don't know either. He probably got heavily injured from a fight. That's what happened when he ran back to my tofu shop in the middle of the night!"

Shao Ming looked at the old beggar with concern and asked, "Brother, how are you?"

The old beggar was gasping for breath, unable to speak. At this moment, the young girl found the ointment and applied it to the old beggar's wounds as per previous studies. The old beggar's eyes widened, and he finally said a sentence, "Wine?" "Give me some wine?"

Shaoming didn't know why he still wanted to drink at this time, but since the old beggar asked for wine, he didn't dare to hesitate. He quickly took the jug of wine and poured a bowl for the old beggar, who downed it in one gulp.

After drinking, the old beggar seemed to have recovered a lot. He said, "Old Li, quickly take Shaoming and his sister and leave this place. My place of residence has been exposed by a traitor. You guys hurry up and leave, don't stay in this town anymore!"

The three of them were shocked when they heard this.

The old beggar took out another metal plate from his bosom. There was a "Ming" character on it.

The old beggar handed the sign over to Shao Ming and said, "You two leave this place and go to Luminous City. Find a medicine store called Da Ming and hand the sign over to the waiter inside. Hurry up and go!"

Shaoming hurriedly said, "Alright, I'll carry you!"

The old beggar grabbed Shaoming's hand. I can't take it anymore! Leave me alone! These people will only stop when they know I'm dead. If I don't die, you'll be in danger! Besides, I can't do it anymore! "All of you, quickly leave!"

Shaoming said, "No, we can't leave you behind!"

The old beggar looked at Old Li and said, "Take them away immediately, or else I will not be able to die in peace!"

Old Li helplessly stood up and pulled on Shao Ming and his little sister, saying, "Things are already like this. Come with me!" We should not delay matters regarding the martial arts world! "

Tears welled up in Shaoming and his sister's eyes as they hurriedly kowtowed to the old beggar before standing up and leaving the room with Old Li.

The three of them ran at full speed through the entrance. As they passed by a street, they saw a row of shadows leaping across the rooftop toward the old beggar's house. There were dozens of people with shining knives.

Old Li said, "These people are not to be trifled with, let's leave quickly!"

As the three of them spoke, they carefully and quickly dashed across the street. As Shaoming ran, he couldn't help but shed tears. It seemed like the old beggar was doomed this time, but he couldn't do anything to help. Sigh!

The three of them sprinted all the way to Old Li's tofu shop. Old Li brought out two horses from the yard, gave one of them to Shaoming and his sister, mounted the other horse, and sped off.

The three of them travelled through the night, travelling at the same time as they made their way to Lakelight City.

When the sky was about to brighten, the three of them finally arrived at the bottom of the city. The city walls of the city, which was more than one hundred miles away, were extremely tall.

Thus, the three of them waited below the city walls.

When the sky was about to brighten, the city gate was opened. People came in and out, and the three of them rode into the city.

Old Li led the way, asking people along the way. Finally, they arrived in front of the Great Ming Medicine Shop.

This was a three-storey building with a large banner hanging at the entrance with the words "Great Brilliance Medicine Shop" written on it.

Old Li and the Shaoming Sister got off their horses. Old Li walked up and knocked on the door. After a while, a waiter opened the door and yawned. "Wake up early in the morning. Who are you looking for?"

Old Li hurriedly called out to Shaoming, who took out a metal plate with a sign written on it from his bosom and handed it to the waiter. The waiter was still in a drowsy state, and upon seeing the sign, he was immediately shocked and quickly looked around with his eyes wide open, then said, "You guys, follow me!"

Shao Ming and co. hurriedly entered the store, and the waiter quickly shut the door.

Once inside the store, the waiter led the three through the corridor to a large hall. He asked everyone to wait a moment before walking into a side room.

After about a quarter of an hour, several burly men suddenly walked out from the inner chamber. The one walking in front was a middle-aged man who wore a long robe and looked like a scholar.

A few burly men rushed forward and tied the three of them up, the three of them were caught off guard and hurriedly fought back. The burly men in the chairs suddenly shouted again, and more people rushed out from all around, each of them holding a shiny blade in their hands. The three people of Shaoming's group were weak after all, and could not match up to so many sabers, so they were immediately controlled and were unable to move.
