Chapter 59 The vicissitudes of youth

When Taixu moaned and got up from the ground with a bruised nose and a swollen face, the diners in the lobby of Zuixianlou had already run away.

Xiao Fan, who was crying sadly, immediately curled his voice and said in surprise: "Master, are you okay? I'm so happy..."

"You... shut up! I...Oh, I really want Dai Tian to accept you, the monster...Oh! It hurts so much! "

Xiao Fan's eyes were full of admiration: "The Taoist priest was hit hard by this, but he was still alive. I really admire him. The Taoist priest is getting stronger and stronger, and he can be called an immortal god. Taoist priest, I worship you..."

Taixu said angrily with a dirty old face: "You bastard, you actually plotted against me while I was not paying attention..."

Xiao Fan said innocently: "Don't you martial arts practitioners pay attention to seeing all directions and hearing the directions? Can't you see such a big teacup?"

Taixu became more and more angry: "You know what's the matter! I sent the light qinzhi Yunzong, which relied on one breath of internal energy to make my body empty. You suddenly smashed a teacup. It was when I was breathing in mid-air. How could I not fall off?"

Xiao Fan blinked and said deflatedly: "I can't even catch a teacup. In this way, there is no use for light skills except jumping higher and running faster?"

"Nonsense! Light skills are the best martial arts in the world, how can they be useless? Which kind of martial arts in this world is comparable to light skills?"

"How did it become the best martial arts skill if you just jump higher and run faster?"

"Didn't you hear that military tactics say: Thirty-six strategies are the best strategy? As long as you can walk fast, it is the most wise martial arts in the world!"

Xiao Fan's eyes were straight: "The Taoist priest is so eloquent. It's obviously a fallacy, and he even used military tactics..."

To be honest, Xiao Fan felt very guilty about Taixu. The facts proved that Taixu did not lie to him, and the old man's words were still trustworthy. In this way, he said that he was 130 years old, and this must be very reliable. When he thought of him almost murdering a centenarian birthday star in public just now, Xiao Fan felt scared and couldn't help but sweat.

One hundred and thirty years old. If this old man was found out by Zhu Yuanzhang in the palace, he would definitely order Jinyi's personal army to arrest him as a human-shaped auspicious person, locked him in a cage for Lao Zhu to pay respects every day. Maybe he would be tortured and asked him what medicine he had taken wrong and lived so long...

Or maybe Lao Zhu is not very interested in him, but he will still torture and ask him about his senior brother's whereabouts because he said that his senior brother Zhang Sanfeng is already 150 years old...

But Taixu also has something wrong. He is still so careless at the age of a young man. Xiao Fan asked him to fly and he was still jumping up and down. At the age of a hundred, can he live all the way into the dog's belly? Why didn't he have any opinions at all? It was just in line with a sentence: "The birthday boy's hunchback--I'm tired of living."

Taixu rubbed his chest hard, moaning repeatedly, his face full of pain, and while grinning, he saw Xiao Fan staring at him in a daze, Taixu couldn't help but say alertly: "What expression do you have? Your eyes are very impure, and your mind is not right!"

"Old birthday star...ah, no, old Taoist priest, are you... really one hundred and thirty years old?"

"Of course, when did I deceive you?" Taixu replied with a angrily, obviously his anger was not gone.

Xiao Fan looked at Taixu worriedly: "The Taoist priest is really auspicious...a living fossil of human beings. However, Taoist priest, don't tell anyone that you are 130 years old when you tell fortunes in the future. It's very dangerous. You don't want to be caught in the palace and put in a cage. You can treat me today, right?"

Taixu was stunned and then laughed and cried: "What are you thinking in your mind? How could the emperor treat me like this? In the 17th year of Hongwu, the emperor issued two decrees in a row, summoning my senior brother to the palace to meet the saint. The decrees were very polite and respectful. My senior brother was traveling far away, so he had not seen him. The emperor was not offensive. How could he put me in a cage for no reason?"

Xiao Fan was relieved and smiled and said, "That's good. Taoist priest is an immortal god. If you are not happy, you will probably not be able to enter the cage..."

Taixu said angrily: "Are you talking about human things? Are you happy to be put in a cage?"

After a pause, Taixu said, "You have seen my skills just now. How about you practicing martial arts with me in the future? I will accept you as a disciple from my disciple."

Xiao Fan shook his head quickly: "No, I still won't learn from you anymore. Light skills are a life-saving thing. I don't plan to go to the battlefield, so learning is useless..."

Taixu was so angry that his beard raised and he was about to get angry, but he saw Xiao Fan quickly handing over a rag.

Taixu was stunned: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "I was wrong just now. Light skills are useful..."

Taixu turned anger into joy: "You kid finally got some vision..."

Xiao Fan smiled and pointed to the beam that Taixu had just fallen off, and said, "The Taoist Master is so powerful. Please work hard again. Jump up and help me wipe the dust on the beam. To be honest, the Taoist Master said, I have always wanted to clean the beam, but unfortunately I can't find such a high ladder. Today I am happy to see the Taoist Master showing such a skill. As the saying goes, people can do their best to use their talents, and the sanitation responsibility area of ​​the beam will be left to the Taoist Master in the future..."

Taixu's face is as dark as ink: "…………”

"Don't worry, Taoist priest, I will never hit you with a teacup this time..."

“…………”

***************************************

How Ren Taixu was tempted and persuaded, Xiao Fan shook his head very persistently and refused to practice martial arts with Taixu.

The skill that a teacup can be smashed down is fine if you don’t practice. The steel wire can achieve the same effect. There is no need to practice in summer, but practice in winter, and it is as hard as 3000.

Every man has a dream of martial arts in his heart, and Xiao Fan is no exception. He is interested in Kung Fu, but he has no confidence in Taixu.

What’s strange is why Taixu always begs Xiao Fan to practice martial arts with him? Did the martial arts masters in ancient times put their postures so low when they accepted their disciples? Or, Taixu discovered that Xiao Fan’s bones were so brilliant, and he was a martial arts genius who was rare in a century, so he suddenly felt proud of his talents and hoped that he would maintain world peace after he had finished learning...

The guess behind it was a bit nonsense. Xiao Fan looked left and right, but he didn't realize that he had a little talent. He was still breathing heavily when he ran away, and still thought of women when he was late at night, a typical ordinary person...

Don’t think about things that you can’t figure out. Taixu is a paranormal. He acts in a master and is unfathomable. Such a master begging him to beg him as his teacher. Xiao Fan felt that he had a great sense of accomplishment in his rejection.

The afternoon sun shines through the door and warmly on the counter at the door.

Xiao Fan yawned, and his elbow lazily supported his heavy head, so he decided to take a nap.

Gouzi and the shopkeepers were busy cleaning the lobby. Everything was so quiet and peaceful. Life was not as passionate as it was, but more of it was spent slowly in calmness.

So, on this peaceful afternoon, the moment before Xiao Fan closed his eyes and fell asleep, he saw her.

She was so timid, standing outside the door from a distance, her small head slightly poked out from the door, and her dull eyes suddenly emitted a scorching light when she saw the leftovers of the dog and the others packed the cold rice.

It was a hungry beast who saw the light of food.

Xiao Fan's confused consciousness suddenly became clear after seeing her. From the moment he saw her eyes, he was deeply shocked.

Whether in his past or present life, he had never seen such a complex look. It was hidden under the harmless appearance. Once he saw the food, he showed serious, scorching, and even fierce light. This look was difficult to appear in adult eyes, but now it appeared on a little girl of eleven or twelve years old. The gaze that had experienced vicissitudes and dialysis of the world should not belong to this little girl such a weak one.

Xiao Fan could tell from her clothes that she was a little beggar. Her appearance was covered in dirty dust, and she could vaguely tell her beautiful and charming appearance, but her eyes were like a little female wolf who could attack at any time.

Xiao Fan sighed in his heart, more of pity. How many storms have she experienced in this girl?

The little girl was still standing outside the door, looking weak, her big black eyes were looking at the surrounding environment. Her frostbite-covered little hands tightly held the bamboo stick, and her petite body bent slightly. She only had the remaining food in the dog's hand, but she didn't see Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan looked at her movements quietly through the counter. Xiao Fan knew that the little girl was ready to go. It seemed that she had given up begging and planned to use her agile actions to snatch the food that the dog had packed.

A fierce light flashed through the little girl's eyes, which was a kind of determination to give everything to survive.

Xiao Fan spoke: "Dog."

The dog turned around, put down the remaining food that was being cleaned up in his hand, turned around and nodded at Xiao Fan and smiled, "Shopkeeper, what are the instructions?"

The little girl's ready-to-run body suddenly stopped, and a little disappointment flashed in her dark eyes, but she still stood stubbornly outside the door, staring at the food in her eyes tightly, reluctant to leave.

Xiao Fan inadvertently glanced at the little girl, and his heart couldn't help but feel ache.

"Go to the kitchen and take two hot cakes out..." Turning his head and looking at the little girl's weak body, Xiao Fan added: "...get another oily hoof and you need to be fatter."

The dog looked at Xiao Fan for no reason, then saw the little girl outside the door, immediately responded and quickly walked into the kitchen.

Xiao Fan smiled kindly at the girl outside the door, and said nothing, but walked out of the counter slowly.

The little girl immediately took a step back, with deep caution in her eyes. She raised the bamboo stick in her hand slightly, staring at Xiao Fan who was slowly walking towards her.

Seeing the girl like this, Xiao Fan had no choice but to stop helplessly. The dog had already taken out two steaming pancakes from the kitchen, with a piece of oily black hooves rolled in the middle.

Xiao Fan took the big cake and handed it forward with a smile, with the kindest smile on his face: "I will give it to you, I won't accept you money."

The little girl took a step back in fear and looked at Xiao Fan hesitantly. When her eyes moved to the big cake in Xiao Fan's hand, Xiao Fan clearly saw that the little girl swallowed her saliva a few times. The fierce light in her eyes gradually faded, and replaced by a light full of desire.

Xiao Fan walked a few steps forward, then stretched the pancake forward and said again: "Give it to you, take it."

The little girl retreated slightly, but she could not resist the temptation of food. She couldn't help but take another step forward. Seeing that Xiao Fan had no other moves, she finally moved forward with confidence, trembling her little hand, and carefully took the big cake from Xiao Fan's hand, with a serious expression, as if holding her faint and dull vitality.

Xiao Fan smiled, and his smile, which was warmer than the sun, was deeply imprinted into the little girl's heart like a brand.

The little girl's eyes finally showed gratitude that had never been revealed.

Seeing that the little girl relaxed her vigilance, Xiao Fan did something wrong.

He suddenly grabbed the little girl's boring and dirty little hand and said warmly: "Just sit inside and eat, we won't hurt you..."

As soon as the words were finished, the little girl suddenly showed a deep sense of caution again, and then her face appeared crazy. She opened her mouth and looked like an angry little female wolf. She bared her teeth and roared at Xiao Fan fiercely. Then she hugged Dabing with one hand, but her other hand quickly stretched out and scratched her hard when Xiao Fan grabbed her.

Xiao Fan let go of his hand after suffering. The little girl was free and ran away quickly without looking back.

The dog beside him was furious: "This stinky beggar is really ungrateful! Shopkeeper, are you okay?"

Xiao Fan couldn't help but smile bitterly as he looked at the three bloody claw marks caught by the little girl in his right hand.

"Do you think I'll be fine?" Xiao Fan glared at the dog in anger.

"Shopkeeper, I'll help you get the stinky beggar back and beat her up!" Dogzi said with a hurry.

Xiao Fan said angrily: "You deserve to be a shop assistant for the rest of your life. I really don't have the ability to see you! What I need now are doctors and Jinchuang medicine!"

Gouzi was stunned and hurried out to find the doctor. Before leaving, hesitated and said, "Shopkeeper, that beggar..."

Xiao Fan looked into the distance and said lightly: "Forget it, a person should do anything to survive, and we should not blame her."
