beggar hero

【12】

In the blacksmith's shop, someone was holding a wine gourd and trying to get himself drunk, while in the noodle shop, there was also a person holding a cigarette stick in his mouth and facing the sky.

Tang Qiu met Li Yan in a summer more than 20 years ago. One was the only surviving child of a poor blacksmith's family, and the other was the runaway young master of the Li family, which is famous for its swordsmanship. One was twelve and the other was eight years old. The encounter between the two is like actors who have gone to the wrong set.

"Hey, take me to your house." The arrogant young master ordered to the neat and patched child.

This is the first time the two met.

Speaking of how the two children in the sky and the earth get along well, it has to start with their first encounter.

Li Yan has always disliked restraint. Although his talent is superhuman, his stubborn temper caused the Li family a terrible headache. Fortunately, there is an older brother who does not have the problem of inheritance, so the Li family still doesn't care much about Li Yan's stubbornness. But when Li Yan ran away from home this time, it was like a fuse that ignited the entire Li family.

It was already the fifth day when the guards of the Li family found Li Yan. It wasn't that the guards of the Li family were disrespectful, but that no one thought that Li Yan, a young master who was so windy and rainy at home, could be in a The down-and-out smithy stayed for five days, and at that time, someone set their minds on the children of the Li family, so the first reaction of the nervous guards after they found Li Yan was to beat Tang Qiu up. Then he was thrown directly into the prison of the Li family as the accomplice of the group who tried to rob the Li family's children last time.

Li Yan was thrown into the ancestral temple by his father when he got home, and it was two days later when he came out. It was only after his mother and his two older brothers begged his father to get it.The first thing Li Yan did after leaving the ancestral hall was to look for Tang Qiu. After searching around, Li Yan found Tang Qiu who was unconscious in his dungeon.

Out of guilt, Li Yan left Tang Qiu at his home, and then called his own doctor to see Tang Qiu.Because he was suspected of being an accomplice of the man in black, Tang Qiu was tortured a lot in prison. Although the guards pitied Tang Qiu for being a child and didn't do much, they still left a lot of scars on Tang Qiu's body. Although it's only been two days, Tang Qiu still feels like she's shed a layer of skin.

Tang Qiu did not refuse the doctor Li Yan found, because he knew that he would never have the money to find a doctor after leaving this door, even if it was the cheapest doctor, the cheapest prescription, for him It was also a big burden, so Tang Qiu did not object to Li Yan's proposal to let him stay.

Li Yan is careless, although he is a young master, except for the occasional arrogance, he has no airs at all.Tang Qiu is a child of a poor family. Although he has seen the warmth and coldness of the world, he still has a kind heart.The two teenagers who were originally congenial, their relationship became better during the time they lived together.

Although he and Li Yan had already talked to each other, Tang Qiu still remembered his identity. On the second day after recovering from his injury, he found the master of the Li family—Li Yan's father. I went to my grass nest.The reason why he went directly to Li Yan's father instead of talking to Li Yan was firstly out of courtesy, and secondly because if he told Li Yan, Li Yan would definitely let him stay crying and fussing.God knows, even though he knew that the other party was only doing thunder and not rain, Tang Qiu still accepted this trick...

In the Li family, Li Yan has two elder brothers who are much older than him, and almost none of them are the same age.Tang Qiu can be said to be Li Yan's best partner. At first, Li Yan thought that the two of them could play like this until they grow up, but he didn't expect that after practicing, there was an empty room waiting for him, and the one who said to himself, You're back' people have left.

"Young Master, Young Master Tang has already left. I will go and bid farewell to the Master this morning."

When he heard the steward's words, Li Yan didn't know whether he felt more sad or angry, or whether he felt more incomprehensible.Li Yan only knew that he wanted Tang Qiu to stay by his side, and if possible, turn him into a sugar ball, so that he could take him wherever he went... But Li Yan was stopped by his brother, The second brother who always smiled like a fox stopped him and said a lot, but Li Yan only remembered one sentence.

"If you want to keep someone, you must first let him get used to your presence, so that he can't leave you."

Li Yan felt that he understood, but he didn't seem to understand.

In the following days, whenever he was free, Li Yan would sneak down the mountain to find Tang Qiu, and the guards of the Li family also developed a habit. If the young master was not at home, they would go to the blacksmith shop at the foot of the mountain. If he is here, then his young master will definitely be there.

The days slipped away quietly in such an ordinary life.

"Tangqiu, my father asked me to choose a sword today, but I couldn't find the one I was destined for." Sitting on the chair, Li Yan complained while shaking his legs, pouted.Only in front of Tang Qiu, the third young master of the Li family, who had always been cold-blooded and ruthless, would look like a child.

"How many times have I told you not to call me Tang Qiu?" Tang Qiu was already helpless about this title, and has been correcting it since he was 12 years old. Now, he has said it countless times, but it has never worked.Li Yan still called himself 'Sugar Ball'. "How can I not find it? I'm afraid your requirements are too high." Tang Qiu's face was reddened by the stove as he smashed the hammer on the red-hot iron block.

"Tang Qiu," this is the first time Li Yan has called Tang Qiu's name in so many years. Hearing the word "Tang Qiu" come out of Li Yan's mouth, Tang Qiu couldn't help but move his hammer. pause. "Help me with a sword."

"..." Tang Qiu froze for a full 2 ​​minutes before he could understand Li Yan's words. "Li Yan! What are you going crazy about!" A knight's sword is equivalent to the half of the knight's body, and it will last a lifetime.Hearing that Li Yan threw this matter to himself so easily, Tang Qiu immediately became angry. If it wasn't for the hammer still in his hand, Tang Qiu would have wanted to shake Li Yan's clothes and look at them. What the hell is going on in this guy's head!

"Anyway, you know how to fight with daggers, right? Swords are the same~"

"Can these two things be the same?"

"Then I'm begging you~ I'll go back to practice sword first." Without giving Tang Qiu a chance to refuse, Li Yan's light work continued, and after a few ups and downs, he disappeared from Tang Qiu's sight.

Li Yan had just said something casually at first, and he never expected that Tang Qiu could really give him a sword. If it was really that easy, then it is impossible for the world to be dominated by the Jianzhuang family.Li Yan originally planned to go to Jianzhuang after his 15th birthday, but he did not expect that on his 15th birthday, Li Yan received his birthday present from Tang Qiu—a blood-red sword.

It took Tang Qiu a whole year to really create a sword, and this sword, Li Yan knew it was what he had always wanted with just one glance.

As Li Yan used this sword for longer and longer, Tang Qiu, who made the sword, became more and more famous. Seeing that everything was developing for the better, his father's words changed Li Yan's life. Yan hit hell.

The abnormal feeling towards Tang Qiu that he thought he had hidden deeply was finally discovered by his father.But this time, no matter how much trouble Li Yan made, even his mother, who always loved him, didn't speak up for him.

In the end, it was my two elder brothers who helped me, although at the time I just felt that they had a deep affection for my brother and didn't think of other deeper aspects.

Three years, within three years, if the Li family's Hanshui Jue can be practiced to the seventh level, then no one will say anything about himself and Tang Qiu.This condition seems to be loose, but it is a task that is almost impossible to complete, because at that time, Li Yan had only practiced the fourth level of the Hanshuijue, and the Li family's Hanshuijue had to pay a huge amount of power while gaining huge force. It means doubling the effort for every liter.It can be said that it is a dream to rush from the fourth level to the seventh level in three years, but this is the only way for Li Yan.

Meet the requirements, or forget about Tang Qiu.

On the same day three years later, when Li Yan opened the door of the stone chamber, he used his own strength to tell everyone his choice.

Li Yan guessed the beginning but not the end...
