Chapter 2 Leaving Home

It was getting late, and the indifferent half-circular moon rose quietly. The tiles and courtyards were covered with a layer of silver ash.

Da Fu looked up at the moon for a long time, and suddenly two lines of tears flowed out of his eyes.

"Over the years, I have been studying hard. It is said that the iron pestle is ground into a needle, but I have not made any progress. My parents are looking forward to me, going to be an official, and to get ahead. And I... can't do it!"

"If you don't pass the exam, do you have to go back to the place where you will live for the rest of your life?! I don't want to." The big rich man's eyes appeared with a look of struggle, and his fists were getting tighter and tighter. I know that I can't pass the exam, and I know that I may go back for the rest of my life.

He is unwilling!

"I, Zhou Xing, can't go back to the land for the rest of my life like this! Absolutely impossible!" Da Fu shouted in his heart that he had the idea of being rich since he was a child, but it was useless to study hard, but he did not want to give up.

Suddenly, with a "squeak", the sound of opening the door sounded, and the second aunt's voice came, "Dafu, why don't you go to bed so late?" Are you not used to it with your father?"

Zhou Xing was shocked. He immediately lowered his head and said as gently as possible, "No, second aunt, I can't sleep. Come out to get some air. I'm going back." As he spoke, he wiped the tears from his eyes.

It was too dark, and the second aunt didn't notice Zhou Xing's strangeness, so she didn't ask anything.

Back to the room, Zhou Xing lit the oil lamp. Through the dim light, he looked at his father who was sleeping and snoring. The man, who was less than 40 years old, looked fifty years old. His nose was sore, and tears almost fell again. He is not a person who likes to cry, but a thought surged up in his heart that he made up his mind for a long time.

At the dinner table in the evening, the drunken rich father said a lot of things that Zhou Xing didn't know. Among them, the reason why Zhou Xing was not allowed to practice martial arts was that Zhou Xing's grandfather died because of practicing martial arts. Dafu's father has already learned his achievements from his husband, and he has long had the idea of letting Dafu go home.

For a long time, Dafu came forward to cover the quilt for his father, and then carefully removed a box from under the bed and opened it. There were his clothes in it. Dafu's eyes flickered. Finally, he turned out a small cloth bag from the bottom of the box and poured out something from it. It turned out to be some trivial silver.

"I have saved all the money my father has given me over the years, almost one or two pieces of silver. It should be enough." Dafu pondered for a moment, looked up at his old father again, and then did not hesitate. He took out a few clothes and wrapped them, and then pushed the door out.

"Dad, even if you lose your life because of martial arts practice, the child doesn't want to, and he won't live!"

When he walked to the courtyard, there was a strong reluctance in Dafu's eyes. He knelt in the direction of his father, kowtowed his head three times, and then quickly left home and Baishui Town.

The sky gradually dawned. First, the hazy light was emitted from the far east, extending from one mountain to another, and then countless birds sounded, and the earth seemed to revive.

At this time, a thin teenager carried a package and gasped along a road. The teenager's face was sometimes excited and sometimes worried. The teenager is Zhou Xing. It has been two hours since he left home.

Zhou Xing did not dare to take the path. If he met the leopard wolf, he could only have a full meal with his ability, so he kept walking on the road.

"I don't know where this road leads, and where should I go to learn martial arts." Zhou Xing looked at the end of his eyes. There was a dark green color, which was quite worried. Immediately, his eyes were firm, "Since I come out and don't make some achievements, I will never return home!"

I don't know how long it took. The sun was in the sky. Zhou Xing's legs were sore. He sat by the roadside, leaned against a tree, took out a dry cake from the bag, and nibbled it twice. He felt extremely dry. He got up and looked nearby. He didn't find any mountain springs, but he didn't dare to go deep into the mountain forest. He couldn't help sighing. Although I had already expected the difficulties, I didn't expect that there would be difficulties at the beginning.

"Hey, are you looking for water?" Suddenly, a crisp voice sounded.

Zhou Xing was shocked and quickly looked up. On the treetops beside him, he saw a beautiful young man of his age sitting, looking at him with a smile.

"Who are you!" Zhou Xing immediately stood up and asked. At the same time, I was relieved. I had heard that thieves were rampant in the outer mountains for fear of encountering them.

The beautiful young man turned his eyes, snorted and said, "I'm a mountain thief! Why don't you hand over the valuable things!"

Hearing the word "mountain thief", Zhou Xing's heart suddenly tightened and held the package in his arms. Then he found that the beautiful teenager seemed to be smiling. He immediately understood that the teenager was making fun of himself and couldn't help saying angrily, "If you are a mountain thief, I will catch him quickly!" I'm the only one who catch you!"

"Haha" The beautiful teenager was so happy that he picked up his stomach and seemed to feel very happy.

Zhou Xing was stunned and couldn't help smiling. This beautiful teenager seemed to be quite funny.

The beautiful teenager smiled for a long time, then took out a water bag from his arms and threw it directly to Zhou Xing. "This water is for you to drink. Can you give me half of the cake? I'm hungry."

Covering the water bag, Zhou Xing hesitated for a moment. He didn't bring too much food when he came out, and he didn't know how long it would last. Looking at the water bag, Zhou Xing thought for a moment and broke the cake in half. The beautiful teenager climbed down from the tree, took half a cake with a smile, took a bite, and immediately frowned and spit it out.

"This cake tastes terrible..."

"You!" Zhou Xing was so angry that he couldn't speak. He kindly divided the cake, but he actually disliked it. Besides, the cake made by his second aunt was not bad at all.

The beautiful teenager saw Zhou Xing's appearance, smiled, touched his arms, and took out a small jar, "Hey, this is honey. Do you want to eat it?" As he spoke, he poured honey on the cake, took another bite, and smiled, "This is much more delicious."

"Is it really delicious?" Zhou Xing looked at the beautiful teenager's enjoyment, and his anger dissipated unconsciously. Instead, he felt that there was a greedy worm in his stomach.

"You'll know when you eat it." The beautiful teenager stuffed the honeypot directly into Zhou Xing's hand.

Zhou Xing poured the honey on the cake suspiciously and took a bite. He couldn't help trembling. He suddenly felt that what the beautiful teenager just said was really right. The cake was really bad...

The two teenagers stained the cakes with honey and ate their own things separately, and the strange atmosphere between them faded a lot. After eating, Zhou Xing wrapped it on his back and was a little reluctant. He smiled at the beautiful young man and said, "Thank you for your honey. I'm leaving."

As soon as I walked a few steps, I heard the voice of a beautiful teenager. Hey, where are you going?"

"I don't know." Zhou Xing shook his head.

"Great! Then let's go together." The beautiful young man laughed.

"Ah?" Zhou Xing was smit.

"I don't know where to go, so let's just go together." The beautiful teenager came over and smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth. "Hey, I'll share half of your cakes in the future. I'll give you honey."

Zhou Xing came to his senses and nodded happily. He was just a minor child and didn't have too much scheming. If he was an adult, how could he dare to get too close to strangers?

"Bear by the way, I'm not called Hello. My name is Zhou Xing."

The beautiful teenager said "Oh" and seemed to think about it for a moment before saying, "My name is Lin Yumu."

With Lin Yumu as a companion, Zhou Xing's worries about running away from home have faded a lot. The two of them are about the same age. Lin Yumu is only two months younger than Zhou Xing. He talked and laughed all the way and got closer. Slowly, Zhou Xing said everything about himself, including his nickname Dafu and his running away from home.

And Zhou Xing also learned from Lin Yumu that he lived in a faraway place. A few months ago, a bandit made trouble, and the whole family tried their best to let him escape. So far, he has been wandering.

"Xiao Linzi, isn't your family all dead?" Zhou Xing was surprised.

"I don't know either." When Lin Yumu talked about his own thing, his expression was always gloomy. Suddenly, he frowned and stared at Zhou Xing: "Don't call me Xiao Linzi!"

"Then you are not allowed to call me rich!" Zhou Xing said weakly.

"Your nickname is Dafu, but I'm not Xiao Linzi!" Lin Yumu said, on his beautiful face, the sadness gradually faded away. Zhou Xing saw it and was relieved. He didn't know how to comfort Lin Yumu, so he had to change the topic.

"Okay, Xiao Linzi, I'm going to learn martial arts. Since you've been out for so long, you should know where to learn martial arts, right? Why don't you learn martial arts with me?" Zhou Xing said it in one breath before Lin Yumu wanted to speak.

Sure enough, Lin Yumu did not continue to distinguish. He lowered his head and thought about it. After a while, his eyes lit up and said, "I heard that this largest sect with a radius of hundreds of miles seems to be called Wolong Sect. Recently, it is recruiting disciples."

"Wolongzong?" Zhou Xing looked at Lin Yumu excitedly.

"Do you know?" Lin Yumu asked.

"Of course I don't know, but since it is the biggest sect, I must choose it!" Zhou Xing was very excited. It was really right to meet a nobleman when he went out.

Lin Yumu looked at Zhou Xing speechlessly.

Wolongzong is very famous in this territory. If Jianghu people don't know its existence, it must be a joke. Every two years, the Wolong Sect will open the mountain gate and recruit disciples, a total of 20 people each time. If you want to devote yourself to the door, you have to stand out from thousands of teachers. It is so difficult that the vast majority of people are not allowed to enter. And more people still flock to it, because it is said that in Wolong Sect, you can not only learn unfathomable martial arts, but also it is said that there is a peerless strong man in the innate realm. This is the realm that all people in the martial arts dream of. Even if you look at it, it is worth it.

Outside a small city, two weak figures staggered towards the door. Both of them were teenagers, one of whom was ordinary and the other was slightly beautiful.

"Big Rich Brother, I'm so hungry. I seem to smell the roast chicken." The voice came from the mouth of the beautiful teenager.

Zhou Xing swallowed his saliva and pressed his stomach with his hand, and there was a continuous "gurgling" sound inside. His clothes are now very dirty and his hair is a little messy. They have been on their way for two days. If they hadn't met someone on the way, they might have to go around a lot. However, Zhou Xing's cake has been eaten clean yesterday, and the two of them have no ability, and they dare not go deep into the forest to find food, so they have been hungry until now.
