The Swordsman who started from Baicaotang

early morning.

The mountain breeze blew in my face. The coolness had completely disappeared, and I felt only the heat and the scorching sun.

There is an official road from Huangtang Village to Qingshan City, which is about 20 miles long. A man with brisk steps would take at most an hour to get there, and a martial artist with kung fu would take even faster.

Along the way, the grass and trees were withered and yellow, and smoke was rising in the wilderness.

There was no trace of green around, and there were signs of mining, probably done by the surrounding villagers. From a distance, only in the deep mountains and dense forests, there was some dark green, and some vitality could be seen.

There were ferocious wild beasts and even monsters hidden in the deep mountains and dense forests. Ordinary villagers would not dare to go there unless it was absolutely necessary. Of course, they were so hungry that they could do anything.

On the way, Huang Feng saw seven or eight men. They were carrying hatchets, bows and arrows, and some were holding wooden spears. They all went into the dense forest. Their footsteps were very brisk and they soon disappeared.

They were probably looking for trouble with wild beasts. At this time, they had to fight desperately for their livelihood.

He howled all night last night, and drank only a bowl of water this morning, which was turbid and very bitter. Huang Feng had only walked three or four miles when his stomach started growling like a drum.

But he didn't say a word, gritted his teeth, and walked another mile or two, his legs felt like they were filled with lead. Don't even think about running away at this time, even walking is difficult.

The burly man next to him looked calm and composed, with his hands behind his back, humming a little tune as he walked, not caring about Huang Feng's condition at all.

Huhu~

Huang Feng was a little exhausted, and his whole body was shaking involuntarily. He took a few deep breaths and drank some northwest wind. His mind was calm, and he felt much more comfortable.

Half an hour later, the two walked another five or six miles. The strong man finally said, "Rest for a while! We'll continue walking later!"

He sat down under the shade of the tree, looking very comfortable. Of course, Huang Feng couldn't sit down, so he could only lean against the tree trunk. In his current state, if he sat down, he might not be able to get up.

At this time, the strong man looked him up and down and said lightly: "Not bad!"

The strong man knew that when they walked five or six miles, Huang Feng would have run out of strength, but with his strong willpower, he walked another five or six miles.

First, don’t complain; second, don’t blame others.

He behaves in a proper manner, has a mind far beyond his peers, and is very mature. In addition, he has a good physique, and he will achieve success in martial arts if he studies hard in the future. His only shortcoming is that he is a little old.

After saying that, the sturdy man took out a piece of oil paper from his arms, which contained four or five meat patties. He took out two pieces and handed them over.

"Give!"

"Don't die on the road!"

This place is still more than ten miles away from Qingshan City. He doesn't have time to waste on the road. Go back early and finish the task early. Besides, this road has not been peaceful recently, and wild beasts often come out to attack passers-by.

Huang Feng was already starving, so why not take the benefit? Why make things difficult for himself?

"Thank you!"

He quickly finished the two pieces of meat patties, like a starving ghost. He ate too fast and choked.

"Give!"

The strong man took off the water bag from his waist and handed it to him. Huang Feng took a few gulps. It was sweet, refreshing and cold. It was countless times better than the turbid water.

"Okay, okay, don't finish drinking!"

The sturdy man took it, inserted the plug tightly, and hung it around his waist again.

"Boy, the water is different!"

"Indeed!" Huang Feng replied frankly.

"My name is Cui Meng, a coach at Baicaotang." Cui Meng said casually, and then looked around. The grass and trees were smoking, and the sun was scorching.

"Looking at the situation, if there is no heavy rain, every family will have to sell their children in half a month or a month. Don't blame your father, he can't do anything. Besides, we at Baicaotang are really good to people like you, at least much better than the average wealthy family."

"We will at least teach you martial arts! You will have a chance to make a name for yourself in the future."

Ah!

Giving money and teaching martial arts, where in the world can such a good thing happen? Even if there is such a good thing, it won't be Huang Feng's turn. It's okay to trick a child, but the current Huang Feng is not so easy to fool.

"What will Baicaotang ask us to do?"

Huang Feng asked casually, but he was actually very concerned about this question. If Baicaotang asked him to be a human specimen, he would run away when he regained some strength.

Ok?

Hearing this, Cui Meng raised his eyebrows and looked at him carefully again. His questions were really different. More than 90% of the little guys would ask about common sense related to martial arts.

After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Within half a year, Baicaotang will teach you how to read and write, identify herbs, and practice martial arts. How much you can learn in half a year depends entirely on your own abilities."

"After that, you should do things for Baicaotang. For example, go to the deep mountains and old forests to look for herbs and transport them. Fight with people in the martial arts world, fight with gang disciples, and fight with the guards of wealthy families."

"How is it? Are you scared?"

afraid?

What is there to be afraid of? He never wanted to go back, never wanted to see Huang Dashan, and never wanted to live a hard life.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Baicaotang is looking for a group of cannon fodder, and they have to be smart and fearless cannon fodder. They find children from poor families and give them a little sweetness. After these people have tasted the sweetness, how can they be willing to go back to the dull and hard life in the past.

This is not a metamorphosis, but a true story.

"Coach Cui, is there anything else?"

"No more!" Cui Meng replied calmly.

"That's all. Don't think of Baicaotang as a vicious beast that eats people without leaving any bones. No matter what, Baicaotang spent money and let you live comfortably for half a year. It has done its best."

"If it weren't for the ferocious beasts in the mountains that killed more than 20 guards some time ago, you wouldn't have this opportunity. In half a month, we will have to carefully select, and it won't cost so much money. You may not be selected."

Natural disasters and man-made disasters make human life worthless. It has been like this since ancient times and has never changed.

Hearing this, Huang Feng was speechless. He had nothing to say.

Should he be asked to thank Baicaotang? Thank Baicaotang for accepting him as a servant? He is not that humble yet.

If what Cui Meng said is true, then I can go to Baicaotang. At least I can avoid this natural disaster and learn martial arts. I will talk about the future later.

"All right!"

"Boy, don't think about it anymore. Once you get to Baicaotang, you will know the benefits of Baicaotang. Being able to enter Baicaotang is the blessing you have cultivated for eight lifetimes."

"We can't stay here too long. With such a severe drought, the beasts in the mountains will also be restless. If time passes, the monsters will also come out of the mountains, and that will be troublesome."

Ghost?

Are there really monsters?

"Coach Cui, is there no one who can deal with the monsters?"

"How is that possible!" Cui Meng rejected it immediately.

"If there is no one to deal with the monsters, they will eat people everywhere. But experts also have their own difficulties. They will not attack easily. After all, everyone has only one life."

"At critical moments, we still have to rely on ourselves."

well said!

Huang Feng agreed with this statement. How could he entrust his life to someone else? It would be a joke!

The two chatted for a while, and Huang Feng felt warm all over. After regaining his strength, his steps became much lighter. There were no obstacles on the road, and the two soon arrived at Qingshan City.
