"Get up, old man, where is this place? Who are you?"

Xiao Ruoyu quickly helped the kneeling old man up, and asked again.

"The old man's name is Zhao Dabao. He is a messenger from the Great Song Dynasty. He is in charge of a beacon tower nearby. He has been guarding here for ten years. He is my grandson, and his name is Goudan."

Zhao Dabao replied to Xiao Ruoyu.

"Well, Uncle Zhao, do you have anything to eat? I'm hungry."

Xiao Ruoyu scratched his head embarrassedly and asked Zhao Dabao.

"Don't dare, you can just call me Zhao Dabao, what about food? Yes, yes, the general will follow me, son of a bitch, let's go and lead the way for the general."

Zhao Dabao enthusiastically grabbed Xiao Ruoyu's wrist and led him towards the forest.

Go back to the Beacon Tower.

"General, this place is remote and there is nothing to eat. Goudan and I found these in the mountains during our free time. You can just eat it."

Zhao Dabao was holding two bowls, one bowl was filled with cornmeal steamed buns, and the other bowl was filled with eggs of unknown animals.

"Then I'm welcome."

Under the warm hospitality of Zhao Dabao and Goudan, Xiao Ruoyu finally had a warm meal.

"Ah, saved"

Xiao Ruoyu was so full that he put down the bowl in his hand and sighed with emotion.

"General, I see that you are injured, why don't you just rest here for a few days, and it won't be too late to think of a way to go back after the injury is healed."

Looking at Xiao Ruoyu's appearance and the blood on his shoulder, Zhao Dabao suggested to Xiao Ruoyu.

"Okay, I'm fine anyway, by the way, do you know where the necessary place to go back to the capital from Golden Beach is?"

Xiao Ruoyu suddenly remembered his mission this time, and opened his mouth to ask Zhao Dabao.

"If you want to go back to Kyoto, you have to go through our beacon tower if you go from Golden Beach. This is the only way back."

Goudan said to Xiao Ruoyu before Zhao Dabao.

"Really? That's great. In this case, I'll wait for them here!"

Xiao Ruoyu clapped his hands and decisively decided to stay.

"Great, brother Xiao, can you teach me martial arts?"

Goudan looked at Xiao Ruoyu with bright eyes, and asked expectantly.

"Of course!"

Xiao Ruoyu nodded in agreement.

Goudan jumped up happily when he heard it.

"Not big or small! Call the general!"

At this time, Zhao Dabao reprimanded the overjoyed Goudan with a serious face.

"It's okay, call me big brother, kind."

Xiao Ruoyu grinned, and didn't care about the title Goudan, but felt that Big Brother was more to his liking.

"Uh-huh"

Goudan nodded hurriedly.

In this way, Xiao Ruoyu stayed at the residence of his grandfather and grandson.

night.

Zhao Dabao took off Xiao Ruoyu's armor, and simply treated the wound on Xiao Ruoyu's shoulder.

Xiao Ruoyu didn't care about this injury at all, but Zhao Dabao insisted on treating him.

He didn't resist either.

Zhao Dabao carefully helped Xiao Ruoyu apply the medicine-wrapped gauze.

And Xiao Ruoyu fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, Xiao Ruoyu woke up early.

Seeing that the grandpa and grandson were sleeping soundly beside him, Xiao Ruoyu didn't disturb them either.

Instead, he climbed up lightly and walked out of the beacon tower.

An hour later.

Goudan opened his eyes sleepily.

"Where did Brother Xiao go?"

He saw that the place where Xiao Ruoyu slept last night was empty, and he immediately became refreshed.

Get up and walk out of the beacon tower slowly.

I saw Xiao Ruoyu standing outside alone at this time, lowering his head as if thinking about something.

Goudan tiptoed to Xiao Ruoyu.

On the ground in front of Xiao Ruoyu, the word "forbearance" formed by a huge water stain was written on the ground.

To be exact, it is the word "nin" that is missing.

The "blade" of the character for ninja is missing a dot, leaving only the character for "sword".

So it should not be counted as a word for the time being.

"Brother Xiao, what are you doing here?"

Goudan looked at it for a long time but didn't understand it, so he squatted directly next to the word "forbearance", and by the way stretched out his fingers to touch the water stains and asked Xiao Ruoyu.

"Oh, I'm practicing calligraphy."

Xiao Ruoyu replied in a low voice.

"I know this word. Grandpa said, Nian Ren, but Brother Xiao, why is there a missing stroke in the word Nen you wrote?"

Goudan looked up at Xiao Ruoyu curiously and asked.

"Because... as I write this, I haven't peed."

Xiao Ruoyu looked at Goudan's hand and said in a low voice.

( _ )
"."

Goudan looked down at his fingers, speechless for a long time.
In the next few days, Xiao Ruoyu taught Goudan exercises as promised, but they were all basic knowledge.

Such as squatting, running in big circles, somersaulting, lifting stone locks, etc., and I have to write the word "forbearance" with Xiao Ruoyu in my spare time.

"Hoo hoo, hoo, I can't do it, Xiao, brother Xiao, I, I can't run anymore."

Goudan sat on the ground panting and looked at Xiao Ruoyu who was standing aside.

ヽ(●-`Д-)ノ

"Continue for me, don't rest! Practice hard, and when you become more capable and promising in the future, let's give your grandpa a knife in the ass, let him open his eyes!!"

Xiao Ruoyu held a branch in his hand and yelled at Goudan who was sitting on the ground.

Goudan struggled to get up from the ground after hearing Xiao Ruoyu's words.

"Yes! Brother Xiao, I understand!"

Goudan gritted his teeth and insisted, and replied to Xiao Ruoyu with a serious face.

"Hey hey hey"



A series of somersaults came out.

Goudan is training very seriously.

"Very good! Goudan, you must know that you must not be lazy when practicing martial arts, otherwise everything will be in vain. In the future, even without my supervision, you have to practice three times in winter and three times in summer."

"Yes! I see, Huhu, Brother Xiao, shall we practice running next?"

"That's right, good physical strength is the foundation of everything, let's go, run with big brother!"

"One two one, one two one, one, two, three, four!"

The voices of the two spread around the Beacon Tower.

Since Xiao Ruoyu came, Goudan's smiles have obviously increased.

The dog egg was picked up by Zhao Dabao when he first arrived here ten years ago.

At that time, the dog egg was still young, and it seemed that it hadn't been weaned.

Just like that, he was thrown on the side of the road, crying miserably.

Just when Zhao Dabao was passing by, he heard Goudan crying, so he picked it up.

In order to keep Goudan from starving to death.

He purposely took the risk to go to the mountains to catch a mountain fox and come back, milking it for the dog's eggs every day.

The old and the young have lived in this beacon tower for ten years.

It's a remote place with no homes.

Goudan has no friends since he was a child, and his personality is extremely withdrawn.

But Xiao Ruoyu's arrival has brought changes to Goudan.

Zhao Dabao, who was smoking a pipe beside him, also smiled in relief.

Ps: I thought I wrote it yesterday. I didn’t. I’m going. I’m really confused. Today I haven’t eaten for another day. My body is really too weak, and I feel like my body is being hollowed out.
