Chapter 2 Men's ambition in the world

When Xiao Heng struggled to climb back to the dilapidated temple, it was almost dark. Xiao Heng lay on the straw he had laid, closed his eyes and rested. After recovering some physical strength, Xiao Heng slowly sat up and checked his injury.

After some examination, Xiao Heng sighed gladly, "Fortunately, I didn't hurt my ribs."

Xiao Heng found that in addition to the bruises on his face, he had different degrees of wounds on his body. Of course, some of them were worn on the ground when they crawled back.

The most serious injury was the dislocation of the heel. Xiao Heng checked the heel and rubbed it gently. Cold sweat kept flowing down his cheeks.

After a while, Xiao Heng gently grasped the soles of his feet, then took a deep breath, pulled, pushed and twisted. A soft click, accompanied by a muffled hum, the dislocation, was connected by Xiao Heng himself.

After a heavy sigh of relief, Xiao Heng found that he had wet his whole body by cold sweat. The sweat wet the wound, which was painful and itchy. He was extremely uncomfortable, but he did not dare to scratch it.

Xiao Heng slowly climbed to a water tank in the opposite corner and stood up with the water tank in his hand. After looking at the water inside, he took a bowl of broken porcelain next to him and drank it. I feel much refreshed when I pedal. So he took off his clothes and poured the cold water on his head with a broken porcelain bowl. A chill quickly cooled from head to toe, making Xiao Heng couldn't help shivering.

If someone else is here, he will be so surprised that he can't close his mouth. This is late autumn and October. Not to mention it's cold, at least ordinary people don't dare to touch cold water casually. He actually takes it off and takes a bath with cold water. It can be seen that Xiao Heng's physique is estimated to be much better than that of ordinary people. But who knows that the world is cold and warm, which has already cooled his heart.

When he washed his body, Xiao Heng exhaled comfortably. Then with this momentum, Xiao Heng simply washed the clothes full of patches. After hanging it on the edge of the dilapidated window, he took out a broken bag from under a fragrant case in the corner of the wall and took out a set of clean clothes that were still full of patches and put them on.

After putting on clean clothes, Xiao Heng slowly moved to the straw bed and lay down. Looking at the two flattened buns that were taken out just before taking off their clothes, he frowned. Then he grabbed one and ate it with a big mouthful of sand.

After eating, it was already dark. Xiao Heng couldn't sleep at all. His mind was full of bullying and beating today. "I just don't know which hero saved me in the end." Xiao Heng recalled the scene of the three people fleeing in confusion, and couldn't help talking to himself.

With a sigh again, Xiao Heng raised his head and carefully took out a ring and a jade pendant from the chest on the inside of his clothes.

This ring is dark gold, and it can hardly be seen from the appearance and color of what kind of metal it is made of. The strange thing is that its shape is made according to the shape of the dragon. The dragon bites its tail, forming the shape of a ring, which is extremely delicate and can clearly see pieces of dragon scales. The dragon's eyes were wide open, as if to come back to life. This strange dragon ring was tied to a small gray rope. The small rope was translucent, faintly flowing with purple gas. Looking at it closely, it seemed that there were many unknown complex runes.

Another jade pendant, green as green, with a big "Xiao" in the center of the jade pendant. The jade pendant is the shape of the double dragon play beads, but the bead that was competed for by the two dragons was bright red, which was touched by Xiao Heng and emitted bursts of warmth in his hand.

At this time, this purple rope is passing through the dragon ring and jade pendant tied to Xiao Heng's neck. Xiao Heng carefully held the two things in his hand, and he felt very intimate after holding them. Gently stroked the ring and jade pendant, as if he were as careful as his relatives.

Uncle Zhou, who adopted him, told him when he found Xiao Heng under the waterfall in the forest. He wore this ring and a jade pendant around his neck. Of course, Uncle Zhou also wanted to sell it, but Uncle Zhou, who was kind by nature, thought that the items related to Xiao Heng's life could not be lost, so he resisted the impulse to sell and stayed.

Until now, Xiao Heng has never taken it off and has been hiding it on his body, hoping that one day he can know his background with this ring and jade pendant.

Thinking about it, I shed tears. Since the death of my adopted Uncle Zhou, I have been alone for almost two years. Whenever I see other children laughing and asking their parents for sugar-coated haws, my eyes unconsciously shed tears, and my eyes are full of envy and sadness.

...

The next day, after three strokes on the sun, Xiao Heng was woken up by his stomach and frowned and patted his belly. Xiao Heng said with a wry smile, "It seems that yesterday's two steamed buns are gone. I have to find something to eat."

It must be said that he immediately walked out of the small ruined temple and walked all the way to the largest street in the west of the city. Looking at the coming and going crowd, Xiao Heng's eyes began to narrow.

Suddenly, Xiao Heng's eyes lit up, and a man and a woman in the crowd were passing by.

The young man was dressed in brocade clothes and a jade pendant at his waist. His eyes looked very handsome. From time to time, he talked and laughed with the lady in a green gown beside him, and he looked elegant. At this time, there were two attendants behind them.

Xiao Heng smiled and walked over. A pair of big eyes immediately looked at the lady with tears in their eyes. They said pitifully, "Sister, I haven't eaten for three days. You can do it. Give me some money for steamed buns."

Seeing this, the prince of your family looked at Xiao Heng unhappily and was waiting to speak to drive Xiao Heng away. Your lady said softly, "Wen Liu, give this little guy two taels of silver."

By the way, a follower immediately came out behind your lady. The attendants curled his lips and took out two taels of silver from his sleeve and handed them to Xiao Heng. As soon as Xiao Heng saw it, he immediately took it happily. Then he looked pitifully at the prince, as if to say, "The girls have been given to you. Isn't you as good as a man as a girl?"

As soon as the noble prince saw this, how could he lose face in front of the beauty? He pretended to be bravely took out an ingot of silver from his wallet and threw it to Xiao Heng. Xiao Heng took it and weighed it. Oh, my God, at least five taels of silver.

After collecting the silver, Xiao Heng immediately smiled and said respectfully to the two, "Thank you, young master, thank you, miss. I can buy steamed buns to eat. After saying that, it disappeared.

Hearing that the two attendants behind him had white eyes, eating steamed buns with seven taels of silver. What kind of steamed buns are so expensive?

Yesterday, Xiao Heng refused the lady's bag of money because of his stubbornness and unwillingness to prove that he had no backbone, but now in order to be stronger, he had to survive and have to go out to beg.

Xiao Hengxing rushed to a pancake stall with silver. It was rare for someone to give so much. Xiao Heng bought two pancakes to eat, and the rest of the money was in his arms. Keep thinking about how to become stronger. Xiao Heng understands that if you want to become stronger, you have to go out to practice. How can you lose money when you go out to experience?

After thinking for a while, Xiao Heng finally decided to go to Fengyunguan to join the army and break out of the world.

He turned around and ran in the direction of his little broken temple, taking a brick from the wall of an inconspicuous corner of the broken temple, and there was a rag bag inside. Open the rag bag, which is full of copper money and broken silver. This is the money he has saved for a long time. He counted it, plus what he just got, and there are 14 taels of silver and more than 83 cents.

It was enough, so I put it in my arms, took out the burden of clothes from the incense case, simply packed it up, and went to Zhang You's steamed bun shop.

When he arrived at the steamed bun shop, Zhang You was already busy. Seeing Xiao Heng, he asked, "What's wrong? Little guy, are you hungry again?

Xiao Heng's heart was warm. Somehow, he shed tears in an instant and lowered his head and said, "Uncle Zhang, I'm going out to break through. I'm going to break out of a sky that belongs to me. I came here today to thank you for taking care of me for a long time. With that, he dropped the ingot of five taels of silver from his hand, turned around and left.

Zhang You was stunned for a long time, looked at the silver in his hand, and suddenly jumped up. He picked up a bag from his room and chased after it. He didn't even care about the steamed bun shop.

"Little guy, wait~" Zhang You shouted as he ran.

Xiao Heng stopped and looked at Zhang You in surprise. Zhang You didn't talk nonsense. He stuffed the burden in his hand into Xiao Heng's arms and said breathlessly, "You take these clothes. Although these clothes are not good, it's good, but it's better than the one on your body."

Xiao Heng's words stopped for a moment, and his tears couldn't stop flowing down. He took the burden and nodded silently. He just spit out four words hoarsely: "Uncle Zhang, thank you!"

Zhang You also sighed and said, "Be careful all the way. There is no peace in Qingyuan City outside. There has been a lot of war recently. You little doll, you have to be careful. Go." Zhang You understands that this little guy is born unyielding, but he has nothing, an orphan, so he knows that if the little guy wants to get ahead, he must fight with his life. With a sigh and looking at the thin figure disappearing on the street, Zhang You shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

(Note: one or two taels of gold = ten taels of silver, and one taels of silver = one hundred penny. Generally, an average household is enough to eat and drink two taels of silver per month. Baozi noodles generally do not exceed five cents per serving)
