C8 Down the street

As the sun set in the west, sunset gradually appeared. At the foot of a mountain, in front of a grave, Shao Ming and his sister had buried the old woman there. A tombstone had been erected in front of her grave.

The younger sister continued to cry, while Shaoming was filled with grief.

When the sky gradually darkened, the two of them finally began to walk back to that small room.

The room was lit with oil lamps. Shaoming looked at his sorrowful younger sister, he said, "Things have already come to this, so you shouldn't be too sad. We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's pack up and leave tomorrow!"

The younger sister looked up with tears streaming down her face. "But where can we go?"

Shaoming said, "I don't know either." "But we must get out of here. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the old granny's enemies will come looking for us. When that time comes, I'm afraid the odds are against us!"

The little sister said, "Fine, I'll listen to big brother Shaoming's orders. Wherever you go, go! You are now my only family! "

Shaoming looked at his sister and said, "Don't worry. As long as I'm still in this world, I'll take good care of you. I've promised grandma, and you've saved my life before!"

In fact, Shao Ming was also very confused. He was someone who had intruded into this world for no reason. He didn't know whether he could go back or not, but now that he was faced with this kind of situation, he didn't know what to do. It was a dangerous world.

Shaoming thought about it for a moment, then said to his sister, "Didn't grandma give you a book? She said that we learned the martial arts to defend ourselves!" You want to take a look? "

When the little sister heard this, she wiped away her tears and took out a broken book. She handed it over to Shao Ming. Shao Ming took the book and looked at it, only to see a few words written on it: "Maze Fist Record."

Shao Ming flipped open the book. Inside were pictures of all sorts of martial arts moves and moves, as well as annotations.

Shaoming took a closer look and said, "This is indeed a martial arts book. The granny said that the essence of her life has been inside it, allowing me to learn how to defend myself. But I absolutely cannot enter the martial arts world." Why don't we learn from him? After all, the world is dangerous, so it's good for us to defend ourselves! "

The younger sister said, "Actually, when I was young, Grandmother taught me some body healing techniques. She only told me that they were beneficial to my body. I wonder if it was also due to this technique?"

Shao Ming said, "I can see that your body is healthy and your running movements are much faster than an average person. I guess what your grandma is teaching you is a type of cultivation technique. Maybe it's an inner force cultivation method or something like that. Just persevere and practice it in the future!" Since he was young, Shao Ming had read wuxia novels, so when he talked about kung fu, he did it in a way. Hearing him talk about kung fu, the younger sister thought he had learnt some kung fu, so she asked, "Big brother Shaoming, how do you understand this so well? Do you learn kung fu as well?"

Shaoming laughed, "I've never learned it, but I've watched a lot of movies from novels since I was young. I know a little!"

The younger sister said, "What is a movie?"

Shaoming said, "About this, why do I have to tell you? It's like watching a show. Have you seen a show before?"

The younger sister said, "Grandmother brought me to Zhanshan to see someone acting. It was pretty good, but it was just a small story."

Shaoming said, "Movies are like acting. They're actually just watching a show! I used to read a lot! Our hometown is full of acting people, we can watch it every day! "If I have the chance in the future, I can ask you to take a look!

The younger sister said, "Sure. "In the future, big brother Shaoming and I will go to your hometown!"

Shaoming said, "Alright! It's getting late, let's rest and leave this place tomorrow! "

The younger sister said, "Yes!"

Thus, the two blew out the oil lamp and went back to bed. They didn't speak for the entire night.

The next morning, just as the sun was rising, the two packed their belongings and brought some food with them. Afterwards, they left the house and followed the mountain trail to the west.

There were many obstacles in this area. It could be said that there was a road, but most of them were mountain paths that no one walked on throughout the year. It was a very arduous journey.

The two of them supported each other as they walked forward. After walking for half a day, they still hadn't walked across a single mountain.

Shao Ming was extremely tired, but the little sister seemed very relaxed. It was probably because she had practiced her inner force before.

Shaoming said, "Take a rest. I'm so tired!" "How did you and Grandma get out before?"

The younger sister said, "We usually walk on the road for a day or two, but my grandma has the time. Her legs aren't good, but she can climb with both hands, and she's very fast. She taught me how to rest myself, so I don't feel tired or slow walking, so I can quickly leave."

Shaoming said, "You guys have learned kung fu before! "Unlike me, I'm really tired!"

The younger sister said, "In the future, you can learn from that book and you won't be tired. If you walk slowly, we'll walk slowly. There's no rush."

Shaoming said, "Alright! Then let's eat something first! "

As they spoke, they took out some dried rations and began to eat.

In the evening, the two of them rested on the mountain and continued their journey the next day.

The little sister was waiting for Shao Ming to crawl. She even hammered her leg for him to take care of and treated him like her husband. This caused Shao Ming to feel embarrassed.

At this moment, Shao Ming was also confused. He had promised to take care of his little sister, so no matter where he goes from now on, he definitely couldn't abandon her. If he were to spend his entire life with her, wouldn't he have to marry her? How else would it make sense? But he had to go back to his own world. Was he going to take her with him?

The more Shaoming thought about it, the more he couldn't do anything about it. Thus, he remembered the phrase 'follow your fate', so he sighed, then carried his stuff with his sister and continued walking forward.

There were many thorns and thorns on the mountain, and the road was filled with barricades. The two of them walked for nearly three days before finally walking out of the mountain and arriving in front of a lake.

Shaoming was very tired, so he just lied down on the grass by the lake.

The younger sister happily ran into the lake to wash her feet.

It was already getting dark, so the two set up a bonfire by the lake and began to cook. The sunset was extremely beautiful, and as it reflected off the surface of the lake, it was abnormally gorgeous and dazzling. It was a rarely seen wondrous sight in the world. Just like that, the two of them sat by the lake and ate. As they watched the wild ducks fly across the lake, Shaoming couldn't help but recite the lines of sunset and flying solitudes.

They slept by the lake in the evening. Late at night, when Shaoming was sleeping, he suddenly heard a series of clicks coming from afar. He immediately woke up and carefully heard that there was indeed something heading in his direction. He hastily called his sister, "Sister, wake up! Wake up!"

The younger sister woke up and asked, "What's the matter?"

Shaoming said, "Someone's coming. Let's hurry up and pack up!"

The girl came to her senses and hurriedly packed up her things. The two of them quickly ran to a hidden bush and hid. A short time later, they saw a group of people rushing to the lake, surrounded the bonfire they had raised, circled it a few times and then galloped away on horseback.

The moment the two saw the team of riders leave, they suddenly saw a group of soldiers coming towards them. The group of soldiers were all tied up and dressed in rags, and a group of soldiers held onto swords as they walked along the lakeside, constantly scolding them and even beating them with whips.

A few soldiers on horseback walked in front.

The two of them quietly watched, not daring to breathe. After a while, these people finally walked away, but the two still didn't dare to rush out. After waiting for about an hour and realizing that there was nothing wrong, the two of them finally walked out of the forest.

Shao Ming sighed. "Ah, what kind of people are these? Why are there so many people here?!"

The younger sister said, "I heard from my grandma that there were often strong soldiers working as laborers. I don't know if that's true or not!"

Shaoming said, "Indeed, the country of the finger seal is a chaotic place. Let's be more careful in the future. We don't want to be caught by these soldiers!"

The younger sister said, "Yes!"

The two of them then took their luggage and left.

After travelling in the dark for who knows how long, the two of them arrived at a small town. It was late at night, and there was no one in the town. There were only a few stray dogs wandering around, occasionally emitting a few barking sounds.

Thus, the two of them landed in a small temple on the street of the town. The temple was filled with spiderwebs, broken bricks, broken tiles, and rotten wood.

After a simple cleaning up, Shaoming took his sister and lay down in the temple.

However, it was now summer. There were many mosquitoes in the temple and he couldn't sleep at all. Shaoming took off his clothes to cover his sister and chased away the mosquitoes for her. He didn't sleep at all that night.

When dawn arrived, Shaoming narrowed his eyes for a moment.

When he woke up, the sky was already bright. At this moment, the little sister had already bought a few buns and said, "Brother Shaoming, I bought some buns, you can eat them!"

Shaoming said, "You got up early! There's nothing going on outside, right? "

The younger sister said, "I've gone out to take a look. This town is very harmonious and there aren't any bad people. Let's temporarily live in this temple!"

"Sure!"

Thus, he took the steamed bun and started to eat.

After they finished eating, the two of them left the temple and went out for a walk.

Outside of the temple was a large Bodhi tree, then some broken houses, grass, and then some residential areas. After the two of them left the residential area, there was a long street filled with people coming and going, doing all sorts of business.

This was the first time that Shaoming saw such a bustling market that resembled that of ancient times. He was a little excited as he looked around with great delight.

Little Sister rarely came out, so after seeing this bazaar, she was also very excited and curious about everything.

Just like that, the two of them strolled along the street. Before long, it was already noon. As soon as they felt hungry, they went to a restaurant to eat.

The two of them ordered a few dishes. After all, they didn't have much on them anymore. At this time, an old beggar dressed in tattered clothing came into the restaurant while singing a song, asking for money from the tables.

The beggar ignored them and continued to beg for money with a silly smile on his face. Just then, the beggar walked to the table of the two and was about to ask for money when the waiter suddenly rushed over and shouted: "Get out! You lousy beggars are not allowed to ask for money here! "

The beggar laughed, "Honored official, I won't steal nor rob. What's the big deal with asking for a few coins? You get rich, you get rich!"

The waiter kicked the beggar, "Cut the crap! "Don't disturb our business, or I'll beat you up!"

The beggar was not angry even though he was kicked. He continued to laugh, "Do not be angry, sir. Do not be angry, I will ask for some food from this guest."

He raised his fist and was about to punch the beggar. Seeing this, Shaoming hurriedly stood up and held out his hand to stop him, saying, "Brother, he's just here to beg for some food, there's no need. I'll just give it to him, it won't affect our eating!"

The waiter said, "Customer, you don't know how despicable this beggar is. How can you give them food? They have hands and feet, but they don't go to work. They just have to come to beg for food!"

Shaoming said, "It's alright. Everyone has their own problems. I'll just give it to him!"

As he spoke, Shao Ming picked up his bowl of rice and placed some of the dishes into the beggar's broken bowl. He said, "Go ahead and eat!"

The beggar hastily bowed and thanked him. "Thank you, thank you, dear guest!"

As he said that, he grabbed the bowl of food in his hands and left the inn while laughing.

The waiter watched as the beggar left and shook his head. However, Shaoming and his sister continued to eat.

After the meal, the two of them continued on their way to the temple. However, they were aware that they had already been targeted by the two thieves that had just sat next to them.

When the two thieves saw that they were giving food to the beggars, they had their eyes on them, probably seeing that they looked like outsiders to deal with, so they took advantage of the moment when the two of them were walking out of the store to run into the crowd and take the silver from them.

When the two sisters wanted to buy a chain of hairpins, they were shocked to find that the money was gone.

"He must have been stolen by a thief!" Shaoming said.

"Sister, what should we do? "Sigh, if we don't have the money, what are we going to do about it?" The little sister was panicking.

"It's really unfortunate for us to be out, it seems that we were too careless. Sigh, but it's alright, I'll go and work in the future to earn money for you!" Shaoming looked at his sister and said.

The little sister wiped away her tears and said, "Brother Shaoming, I'm going to work too!"

Shaoming said, "Let's not talk for now. We'll plan when we get back!"

The two of them then continued inside the run-down temple.

When the two of them returned to the temple, they discovered that three beggars were already lying in the same place they had cleaned the previous time they had entered.

Shao Ming hastily walked forward and said, "Fellow brothers, we cleaned this place last night. Can you give way?"

The beggars were sleeping when they opened their eyes to look at Shao Ming and his little sister. "What?" Your place? This broken temple is ours to begin with, so wherever we want to go, we will go. "Move aside!"

Shao Ming didn't dare to anger them. He continued to speak softly, "Fellow brothers, we've just arrived. There's nowhere we can go. Can you give us a place?"

The beggar said, "It's none of our business where you came from. Let me tell you, this place is ours, the entire temple is ours. Hurry up and go, don't disturb my sleep!"

If they were to make a move, it would be too inconvenient, because a strong dragon couldn't beat a snake on the ground, and this was something they couldn't do anything about. The two of them tried to persuade her, but the beggars wouldn't let them go, and they even wanted to make a move on their sister.

Without a place to stay and a place to hang out, Shao Ming and his sister could only stand under a big tree by the side of the street in a daze.

Shaoming creased his brows. He thought to himself, this is truly an end of the road! Now, how could he have fallen to such a state? He was truly inferior to a beggar. It didn't matter if he was a man, but his sister was a girl. How could he bear to have her suffer with him?
