C9 Blessed by misfortune

The two of them stood by the side of the street. The crowd came and went, and suddenly a wind blew, and a summer rain began to fall. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the two of them had to run under a roof to avoid it.

However, the eaves were too narrow, and their clothes were constantly being soaked by the heavy rain. Thus, Shaoming had no choice but to block his sister inside while he was outside in the rain.

Not long after, his clothes were completely soaked. Seeing that, the little sister felt her heart ache and told him to stop blocking her, but Shaoming still blocked her.

However, the rain really was getting heavier and heavier. A large amount of thick clouds rolled in the sky, as if there was no intention of stopping. Shaoming and his sister were already drenched from the rain, but the surrounding buildings didn't have any place to hide. Every family had their doors and windows closed because of the heavy rain, and if they went back to the temple, they might get bullied by those beggars again.

At this moment, a voice called out to Shaoming, "You guys, follow me!"

Because of the heavy rain, Shao Ming didn't hear it clearly, so he didn't pay attention to it. At this moment, the voice sounded again, louder: "Come with me!"

Shaoming heard his words clearly and turned his head to look. Wasn't it the beggar that begged him for food in the restaurant? This beggar was holding a big black paper umbrella and was waving at him.

"Are you calling us?"

The beggar laughed, "That's right, come here! It's not good to stay out of the rain here, come with me! "

Shaoming didn't dare to think too much into it. It was more important to avoid the rain, so he quickly pulled his sister along and ran towards the beggar. The beggar turned around and left. Shaoming and his sister followed closely behind.

Not long after, the beggar brought them to a dilapidated house. Although this house was dilapidated, seeing how sturdy the tiles were, it was unlikely for rain to fall on it.

Shaoming and his sister followed the beggar into the house. Inside the house, a fire was burning in the middle of the hall, and a pot of tea was steaming.

The beggar put away the umbrella and said, "Please sit! Take off your clothes and roast them! "

Shaoming sneezed and quickly took off his coat, but the girl was a girl after all, her clothes were all wet, how could she take it off?

The beggar took out a set of clean and coarse clothes from the inner room and said: "Miss, these are my wife's clothes. If you don't mind, she is going to go out and get sick in the inner room so that you won't catch a cold!"

The younger sister said, "Big Bro, how can I have the nerve to trouble you like this!"

The old beggar said, "I think you're good people, too. You don't have to be polite. Change into it. If you're out, then there's an emergency!"

Upon hearing this, the Jianghu language was exactly the same as in the novels. Thus, Shaoming said, "Then, thank you, Brother!"

Thus, Shaoming took the clothes from the beggar and handed them to his sister, saying, "You can go in and change!"

The girl took the clothes and went to the back room to close the door and change her clothes.

Shaoming hung his coat by the fire and said to the old beggar: "This time, I had a bad luck on my way out. My wallet was stolen and I don't have a place to stay. Thank you so much, brother!"

The old beggar laughed, "This world is in chaos, there are thieves everywhere. The two of you should be outsiders, it's hard to avoid people bullying you, but that doesn't matter, if you don't mind my shabby place, you can live here from now on!"

When Shao Ming heard this, he was overjoyed. He hurriedly expressed his gratitude, "Then, thank you, Big Brother!"

The old beggar said, "Hehe, do you want some tea? I've just made it, it's to warm up!"

As the old beggar spoke, he picked up the teapot on the fire and poured two cups of tea. He handed one to Shaoming and said, "Please!"

He picked up the cup of tea and drank it. Then, he smiled and said, "Good tea! It's really even better than Jadeite Springtime! "

The old beggar said, "Spice?" What kind of tea is that? "

Shaoming said, "Spice Spring is a kind of tea from our hometown. It has high tasting and very good taste. Our hometown also has Tie Guanyin and Pu'er tea. They're both good tea!"

The old beggar continued, "Listening to the names of these tea leaves, they are not bad at all. If there is a chance in the future to come to your hometown, I wonder where your hometown will be?"

Shaoming said, "In Guangzhou!"

The old beggar frowned, "Guangzhou? This old one has never heard of this place before.

Shaoming scratched his head, he didn't know how to explain it to him. "Guangzhou, it's in a remote mountain village in the Great Kui Country. It's really not very famous, so you don't know!"

The old beggar laughed, "So it's in the Great Kui Nation. Good, in the future, when I have the chance, I'll go to your hometown in the Great Kui Nation, together with Jade Gear Spring and Tie Guanyin!"

Shao Ming smiled. He didn't know how to return, so he could only reply, "Good, good. Welcome."

At this point, the girl had already changed her clothes. She was completely dry, but her hair was still wet. The old beggar looked at her and said, "Miss, come sit and have some tea!"

So she came and sat down, and the old beggar poured her a cup of tea and she thanked him quickly.

The old beggar said, "My surname is Zhang, outsiders call me Old Iron. What might your names be?"

Shaoming said, "I'm Shao Ming, this one here is called Sister!"

The old beggar looked at his sister and said, "Little brother sure is fortunate to have married such a beautiful girl."

The moment the old beggar's words left his mouth, the little sister's face immediately flushed red. Shao Ming hastily explained, "Brother, I'm not my wife, I'm just a friend!"

The old beggar laughed heartily. "I think the two of you are a good husband and wife. Sooner or later, you will become husband and wife. Haha!"

Shaoming hurriedly said, "Big Bro, you must be joking!"

The girl blushed and lowered her head.

The old beggar continued, "Little brother, where are you going?"

"Because of the war that happened in the Great Kui Nation, our homeland was destroyed, so we decided to flee our homeland in order to settle down in the finger sealing country. I heard that the finger sealing country, Tai Min An, is much better than our Great Kui Nation!"

The old beggar stroked his beard, "Recently, I heard that there was a rebellion in the Great Kui Nation. Rumor has it that the Dragon King went against the army and chased out the young lord, and now, I don't even know if the young lord is still alive.

When Shao Ming heard this, he hastily said, "I wonder how Da Kui Country is doing right now. Does old brother know?"

The old beggar continued, "I've heard that the Dragon King is currently engaged in a bloody battle with the Imperial Advisors and generals of the Great Kui Nation. The Imperial Advisors' army might not be able to defeat the Dragon King, and they will lose sooner or later."

Fortunately, he had managed to escape, or else he would have definitely died at the hands of the Dragon King. Now that he had escaped to the State of Feng Fin, he would have to settle down here, find time to learn the secret manual left behind by his grandma, and then make plans. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to survive in this chaotic world.

Shaoming said, "Big Bro, we'll stay here for the time being. I don't know if this will bring you any trouble."

The old beggar said, "My place is spacious. Usually, I live here by myself, but my wife has returned to my hometown. "This is my territory, no one will bully you, if anyone dares to bully you again, just say my name!"

What use is there if Shaoming wants to announce your name? If you go to a restaurant and ask for food, then you just have to rely on yourself in the future. So, he said, "Thank you brother, then we'll be troubling you from now on!"

The old beggar said, "You're too courteous. Come, have some tea!"

As he said this, he lifted the teacup. Shaoming and his sister also drank tea together. The three of them slowly chatted as they surrounded the fire. The rain outside continued to fall and there was no sign of stopping. The entire world was dark like night.

Unknowingly, night came. The three of them ate some food and fell asleep. The rain did not stop.

The next morning, just as dawn broke and Shaoming was sleeping, he was awoken by a noise and hurriedly stood up, rubbing his eyes. While his sister was still sleeping, Shaoming heard the sound coming from outside, so he slowly walked out, only to see that the rain had stopped, and not far from the door, he saw an old beggar practicing kung fu on the ground under the big tree. I really underestimated him!

Therefore, Shaoming approached the old beggar quietly and hid to the side, watching him quietly.

The old beggar danced wildly, his movements sometimes violent and sometimes slow. Suddenly, he leaped up and disappeared.

Shao Ming hurriedly stood up and looked over his shoulder, but the old beggar was nowhere to be seen. Shao Ming sighed at the fact that the old beggar was truly an expert.

Suddenly, a hand patted on Shao Ming's shoulder. Shaoming was taken aback. He quickly turned his head to see the old beggar standing behind him, looking at him with a smile.

"Good morning, brother!" Shaoming hurriedly said.

"Morning, little brother. What are you doing here?" The old beggar said.

Shao Ming knew he couldn't hide it from the old beggar, so he said, "I woke up just now and saw that you were cultivating. I was curious, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect you to be so good at it. It's really admirable!"

The old beggar laughed and said, "I like to train when I have nothing else to do. If you like, old brother, you can practice with me!"

When Shao Ming heard this, he was overjoyed. He didn't expect this old beggar to be so unscrupulous in teaching him martial arts. It seemed like he really was getting a huge blessing in exchange for a bowl of rice! Thus, he hurriedly asked, "Brother, are you willing to teach me martial arts?"

The old beggar laughed and said, "A few punches and kung fu techniques, just a few body defense techniques. Everyone can train together to be healthier. Come!"

As the old beggar said this, he grabbed Shao Ming's shoulder and carried him into the air. Shaoming was greatly alarmed, after a while, the old monk brought him down from the sky and landed steadily on the ground.

Shao Ming heaved a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "Big Bro, your qinggong is so good!"

The old beggar said, "It's just a light movement technique. Come, why don't you follow me to practice some basic techniques and exercise your muscles and bones!"

As he spoke, the old beggar wriggled his hand out and hit his left and right fists in an orderly fashion, and in his excitement, Shao Ming followed suit, and from time to time the old beggar stopped to correct his movements.

The morning light gradually brightened up, and before long, the sun was shining over. The little sister ran over from the house and saw the two of them cultivating. She hastily called out, "Big Brother Shaoming, Big Brother, what are you doing?"

Both of them stopped as they heard the sound. The old beggar said, "It's getting late. Let's go back and get something to eat first. It's not too late to practice later!"

Shaoming said, "Alright!"

Thus, the two of them walked back with a smile. As Shao Ming walked, he did not forget to ask the old beggar for advice on the moves he had just learned. The old beggar answered them one by one.

Returning to the house, the little sister asked them what they were doing just now, and Shao Ming explained the situation to her. Hearing what was said, the little sister hurriedly said, "I want to learn too!"

The old beggar laughed, "What is a girl like you studying here for?"

The younger sister said, "Brother, you don't know, the world is in chaos now, so I need to defend myself! Besides, it can also strengthen the body and strengthen the body! "

The old beggar laughed heartily. "Good, good. You can learn from us in the future too!"

The little sister was overjoyed and quickly expressed her thanks before happily going to prepare breakfast. In reality, breakfast was just a few sweet potatoes, but the three of them were eating very well as well.

After breakfast, Shaoming asked the old beggar if he could find a job nearby. He wanted to do some work, so he couldn't keep eating his food. He felt very sorry.

The old beggar laughed, "If you want to work, that's fine. I have a friend who owns a tofu shop. You can help out there!"

Shao Ming and his little sister were overjoyed. They thanked him, "Thank you, Big Brother!"

The old beggar brought the two of them to an alley not far away, and when they reached the end of the alley, they turned and came across a big gate. The old beggar knocked on the door, and a bald man with a beard opened the door. I brought you two helpers today! "

Old Li chuckled. Hearing Old Pauper's words, he said, "That's fine too. I've been busy at the tofu shop lately. Little Brother Shaoming, can you help me grind tofu in the house during the day?"

Shao Ming and his sister didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. They hastily expressed their gratitude, "Thank you, we really don't know how to repay you!"

The old beggar laughed, "The two of you are kind and kind, unlike the people of this world, the good will always be rewarded, you guys don't have to be so polite! Just live a good life in the future! "

Shao Ming and his little sister thanked him once again!
