Chapter 5 Beggar Xu Xi
Xue Chang coughed lightly and said in a gentle tone: "Thank you very much for your care during this period! By the way, what are your names? How old are you?"
Xue Chang's words made the boy see hope, but he, who was originally cautious, immediately replied: "Brother Xue, my name is Xu Xi, I am thirteen years old this year."
Thirteen years old?... Xue Chang couldn't help feeling pity when he looked at the boy's thin figure.
Xu Xi had been begging for many years, and he could observe his expression and look at Xue Chang's expression. He immediately said, "Brother Xue, are you a rumored martial arts master?! Can you... can you teach me martial arts?!"
Xue Chang didn't expect the boy to make such a request. He was stunned for a moment, looking at the boy's longing eyes, as if he was shouting eagerly in the students, "Teacher, today's physical education class teaches us to play football." Although he didn't understand the world yet, and although he didn't know very well what level of martial arts the original owner possessed in this world, as a teacher, he could not easily refuse a child's request, let alone the thing in his mind - the Wulin Sect System.
After reading the content, Xue Chang felt that this game should be mainly related to sects, and to establish a sect according to the above requirements, at least three apprentices are required...
So he hesitated for a moment and said seriously: "It's not that easy to be my apprentice. I have to examine it for a while to see how you perform?"
The boy named Xu Xi looked bright and he asked anxiously, "What should I do before you accept me?"
Xue Chang smiled slightly: "This is a test for you, and you need to think about it yourself."
Seeing that the boy was really scratching his ears and thinking, Xue Chang smiled again, reached out to break off half of the wolf's hind legs, and handed it over: "Come on, you can eat some too."
Xu Xi waved his hand and refused: "Brother Xue, you eat it. I have eaten a lot before and I am already full."
Indeed, the whole wolf who was barbecuing on the bonfire had no wolf head and two front legs, and there were many bones scattered on the ground beside Xu Xi. With the boy's thin body, he had a lot of weight to eat.
Is this the result of the marrow-cleaning bone cleavage pill?... As soon as Xue Chang's thought came out, a strong sense of hunger came again. He didn't bother to be polite to the boy, grabbed the wolf's legs and swallowed it voraciously. Occasionally, during the interval of tearing the wolf's flesh, he said a few words to the boy: "You are so amazing. You can peel the wolf's skin alone, and you can also set up a fire to grill, and the heat is well controlled."
"In the past, I couldn't get food, so I could only come to the mountains to find food... I made a lot of it, of course I could do it, but at the beginning, someone... someone taught me..." Speaking of this, Xu Xi's face showed unconcealed longing. He was silent for a while before poking a burning dead branch with a wooden stick: "This mountain temple... I have been here many times before, and it has always been safe... I didn't expect... I didn't expect that I would meet a wolf this time!"
The boy seemed to have not said anything to anyone for such a long time, and he seemed not very fluent. Xue Chang heard that he was a little guilty, so he shook the wolf bone in his hand and said, "This is very good, otherwise where can we get what we have to eat."
Xue Chang is talking lightly now, but in fact, it was extremely dangerous before. When he recalled, he was definitely not going to hit the flying wolf with a wooden stick, but the role of martial arts hidden in his muscle memory.
Xu Xi touched the scar on her shoulder and didn't say anything, as if she was still scared.
Xue Chang threw the clean bones on the ground, broke off a large piece of wolf meat, took a big bite, and while chewing, he said vaguely: "Well... Xu... Xu Xi, where are your parents?"
"I'm dead long ago!" Xu Yi said hatred, and hit the ground heavily with a wooden stick.
When Xue Chang saw him gritting his teeth, he was a little surprised. He was tactful and did not ask more details. Instead, he asked, "Where are we?"
"In a mountain temple outside Fanjia Village."
"I mean...what county town belongs to this area?"
"Mianzhou."
Mianzhou?...Learn to sing and think carefully. According to the original owner's memory, he seemed to be reborn in ancient times, but it was very different from the history he knew:
More than 40 years ago, the Xianbei Khanate, established by the nomadic race in the north, invading the south, destroying the Central Plains dynasty that had been founded for three hundred years. At this point, the south was in chaos, and the Han family was in danger of destruction at any time. Even the political situation of Bashu, which was dangerously dangerous to the mountains and rivers, fell into chaos. Chen Xuting, who was the garrison commander of southern Sichuan, took this opportunity to usurp the full military and political power of Bashu, and resolutely led his army out of Sichuan to declare war on the Xianbei people who were rampant on the land of the Han family. After years of war, he finally completely defeated the Xianbei Khanate, revitalized the mountains and rivers, and established the current Zhou Dynasty...
The original owner was also named Xue Chang, who was a native of the Great Zhou Dynasty and a native of Chengdu. This time he followed his father's escort to Shaanxi. Mianzhou should be on the route to Shaanxi, right? Xue Chang fell into deep thought.
As soon as he didn't speak, Xu Xi naturally remained silent. The temple returned to tranquility, and only the burning dead branches occasionally made "cracking, crackling" sounds.
"Ao..." Suddenly, a tender cry rang in the temple.
Xue Chang was suddenly shocked: "What's it?!"
But Xu Xi pulled something out from under the altar of the mountain god statue: "After you beat the wolf to death, I found this little thing in the grass not far away and grabbed it."
A little wolf! Xuezang looked at the animal like a puppy lying on the ground. Its limbs were tied up by dead grass and looked weak. He said with interest: "Is it the baby of this wolf?"
"I don't know." Xu Xi looked at the wolf meat that was almost eaten up and said, "I'll eat it for the next meal."
Xu Xi's words were relaxed, but Xue Chang was a little dissatisfied: Such a small thing can be done!
Xue Chang walked to the little wolf cub, squatted down, and looked at it with interest.
The little wolf cub saw the huge creature in front of him, his eyes shrank and shrank, and he was obviously scared, but he also made a "snoring" sound from his mouth, trying his best to make a fierce look.
Xue Chang was not afraid at all, but instead reached out to break its mouth.
The little wolf cub took the opportunity to bite Xue Chang's hand, but its tender teeth could not penetrate Xue Chang's thick skin at all.
"The baby teeth have not been replaced yet, it should be not yet full month." Xue Chang said to himself, untied the dead grass that tied its four legs, then grabbed the fur on its neck, carried it to his eyes, and looked at its abdomen curiously: "It turned out to be a male."
As soon as he finished speaking, a wolf's urine shot out.
Xue Chang was caught off guard and was shot in the face.
"Ph...pah...Damn it!..." Xue Chang hurriedly threw the little wolf cub to the ground and reached out to wipe the urine from his face.
The little wolf who fell to the ground struggled to escape, but it was tied up for a long time, and its limbs were sore and numb, and it was easily caught by Xu Xi.
"I told you to run away!...You dare to bite me!..." Xu Xi slapped it hard while scolding fiercely.
The little wolf was beaten to scream.
"Okay, stop beating." Xue Chang stopped Xu Xi and tried to comfort the little wolf with his hands.
The little wolf had already tasted the greatness, and now he saw the larger monster stretching out his hand to him. He was so scared that he trembled all over, crawled on the ground, whimpering in a low voice, and even licked the monster's hand with his tongue.
Its well-behaved behavior made Xue Chang involuntarily think of the Bichon dog he raised at home: Now that he is no longer here, will he starve to death when he is locked in the dormitory? His mother who regularly visits the dormitory on weekends should take it home...
Xue Chang didn't dare to think further, worried that he would cry sadly. He grabbed the little wolf's sparse fur with force and said softly: "From now... you call him Tuotuo!"
He picked up the little wolf with both hands and said, "This little guy is probably hungry, so get some food for it."
Xu Xi's mouth tilted the corner of her mouth to the bonfire: "Everything is here."
Xue Chang looked at the roasted wolf meat that had been eaten by him on the bonfire, and shook his head: "This wolf cub is still small and can't eat cooked ones... By the way, you scrape some meat from the peeled wolf skin to feed it."
"We can't even eat enough, we have to raise wolves!" Xu Xi muttered dissatisfiedly.
Xue Chang looked stern: "Do you still want to learn martial arts? Show it well!"
