Leaning on the fence to watch the birth of the moon

Seventh senior brother agreed to "live a life" with him so easily, obviously beyond Mo Xian's expectation.

"Brother, don't be afraid that your hands and feet will become disabled. Although I am a quack doctor when it comes to treating common diseases, but for flesh injuries, tendon injuries, and internal injuries, although I haven't learned to be ten-tenths like a ghost doctor, there are still eight or nine. point."

"You've said all this, of course I know. You won't leave with you because I thought I was going to be abolished?"

"..." Mo Xian was silent, which also meant acquiescing.

"Xiaorun... Junior brother. If you hadn't come to save me, then I would have a name and a life, and I didn't know it. Now that you have come to save me, I am the only one in this world other than this life. , if I don’t go with you, where else can I go?”

"Brother, didn't you ever think about making a name for yourself?"

"Being famous? Junior brother won't think that being famous is just like the storyteller said, doing countless 'heroic things' indiscriminately, and that's all right?"

"Isn't it?" Regardless of the Jieyun Sect or the Ghost Doctor Valley, Mo Xian's knowledge of the Jianghu is all heard from outsiders, first from his seniors, and then from the Jianghu people who came to seek medical treatment.

The Jianghu people and Jianghu affairs that those people talk about are no different from the martial arts novels that Mo Xian once read.Mostly, a certain kid got a certain cheat book, practiced martial arts well, and became a generation of heroes.Or a few young heroes of the rivers and lakes become brothers of the opposite sex, and work together in the rivers and lakes.

From what they said, as long as you are lucky and have a little real ability to venture into the rivers and lakes, you can easily create a career.

"It seems that the senior ghost doctor taught you a lot, but he didn't tell you the most basic things." The seventh senior brother sighed softly, and then began to enlighten Mo Xian, a rookie, from the rivers and lakes. How many?"

"Partition? The underworld and the white way?"

Seventh Senior Brother didn’t say right or wrong: “There are several ways to distinguish between rivers and lakes. The simplest is three ways, the underworld, the white way and the evil way.”

"Is the underworld not an evil way?"

"The underworld is actually a general term. Most of them refer to the heroes on the green forest road, including the five-door businessmen in the car and boat shop Jiaoya, as well as some unorthodox heroes who are cheating, abducting and stealing."

"Green Forest Road is included in the underworld. I understand that the car and boat shop is supposed to be for drivers and boats, but what kind of shop is this shop? What are the feet and teeth for? Also, these people listen It seems that they are all people who have a real business, right? How can they be counted in the underworld? As for the cheating, kidnapping and stealing, why did the senior brother say that they are good guys?"

"The store refers to the waiter in the inn restaurant, and some shopkeepers are also counted. The foot is the porter, the porter who lifts the foot, the porter who carries the big bag on the dock, and the coolie who carries the daily work. The last tooth It refers to the tooth shop. Ordinary people do business and ask middlemen, they are all people in the tooth shop, and people traffickers, matchmakers and the like are also counted in the tooth shop. Although the five schools are regarded as having a regular business, But to do these things, they have to be connected with the Green Forest Road, and many of them are even spies sent from the mountains, so how can they not be counted as gangsters. Those who behave in the family are all good men."

Mo Xian understood a little bit, so he said that the Salt Gang and Cao Gang appear in many modern martial arts novels.Isn't one of them a foot and the other a boat?

Afterwards, the Seventh Senior Brother taught Mo Xian some rules for making money, such as stealing life-saving money for children, not stealing money for widows, and so on.Mo Xian felt that if the ancient thieves could abide by these rules, even if they stole things, they could indeed be regarded as heroes.Where is it like modern times, the hospital is one of the places with the most thieves (not a metaphor, the hospital does have a lot of thieves)...

Even the modern Mo Xian had never seen these things in books, but I found it interesting to hear from Senior Brother Seven.

"As for why the evil way is different from the underworld, it is because the evil way is the group of unruly Jianghu people."

Seeing Ming Ming, Mo Xian thought about it.The rivers and lakes seem to be chaotic, but in fact they have their own rules, and there are many rules.It is also because of this that the world's talents and imperial courts have formed a balance with ordinary people.And those evil people often harm not only the people in the Jianghu, but also the common people and even the court.In that case, these people, no matter from which point of view, deserve to die.

"Brother."

"Ok?"

"Then you say... the flower picker is evil, or the underworld?"

"Crack!" Brother Seven couldn't hold back for a while, and patted Mo Xian on the head, "Why do you always think about those weird things? Flower picking thieves are not considered underworld, nor evil, and of course they are not white, but human beings." Anyone who gets it will be punished!"

Mo Xian was a little strange, why did his brother get such a big reaction when he mentioned the flower picker?Thinking about it, maybe the brother is too upright?

"By the way, senior brother, we seem to be digging a bit, but you still haven't told me why you don't want to become famous."

"To be famous, the most important thing is to be famous, and the most important thing to be famous is the word 'Yang'. If you want to be famous, you need someone to publicize it for you. I made Yang Jiuchen a useless person, and I offended you. Yunpai offended Yuhua Palace even more. If I made publicity, I would be looking for death. And the person who helped me to publicize, with Yang Jiuchen, would have already existed if I thought about it, but I don’t need to think about it. Good thing. In this case, I still want to make a name for myself, unless I do something earth-shattering and find a stronger backing than Yuhua Palace. Just listening to it makes me feel tired. It’s better to be ordinary with you Let’s live on, waiting to see Yang Jiuchen’s jokes.”

During this chat, the two of them can be regarded as having a heart-to-heart relationship with each other.For the rest of the way, the two of them simply decided to stop talking about Jianghu together, and instead talked about how to live if they arrived in Shuanggui Town.

When Mo Xian left, the ghost doctor gave him 200 taels of silver notes, which was enough for them to buy some land in the countryside and become small landlords.Or buy a shop in the city and make a small living.

This discussion started from the afternoon when Senior Brother Qi woke up, until they entered Zhongzhou territory—although the journey was full of wind, food and dew, but Mo Xian's experience of living in the wild, plus "feeding" the ghost doctor for several years The skills he practiced, not only did not make the injury of the wounded brother Seventh Brother worse, but made him fatter.

Seventh Senior Brother is generally satisfied with the current lifestyle, except for daily bathing and when it is convenient, it is really "inconvenient"!Mo Xian also finds this very interesting. (Of course, he can't tell Senior Brother Qi this feeling.) Originally he thought that Senior Brother Seven should get used to it slowly, but in fact, Senior Brother Seven is getting more and more uncomfortable.

In the beginning, he would only blush when Mo Xian helped Seventh Senior Brother clean his face.Later, even if sometimes he accidentally touched Senior Brother Seven, his face would instantly turn red, which made Mo Xian giggle endlessly.

But I finally arrived in Zhongzhou, and no matter how good Mo Xian's ability to survive in the wild was, he spent nearly a month stopping and winding in the woods—actually, it only took seven or eight days to travel between the two states normally. The two of them have walked for so long, one is that Senior Brother Seven is wounded after all, so he can't walk too fast, and the other is that he has to walk in the old forest all the time, so he often needs to detour, and the clothes of the two of them have long since been torn. Even her hair was tied with two strips of rags, and even the shoes on her feet were straw sandals made by Mo Xian himself.

With such attire, Mo Xian did not know where to find medicinal herbs, smeared his face, neck and hands sallow, and messed up his hair. No matter how you look at it, they are two mountain brothers, no one will look at them second glance.

Even if they see people now, the two of them are not going to change their clothes. Anyway, the clothes just look sloppy and messy on the outside, but they are actually clean inside.

Mo Xian continued to carry the Seventh Brother on his back, looking for someone to ask where Shuanggui Town was, and went all the way.

Strange to say, Mo Xian and Seventh Senior Brother originally thought that in a town, even a remote town, if you ask more people, especially people who are on horseback and boats, you can quickly know the general direction.

But the reality is, Mo Xian ran around Zhongzhou with him on his back, lost countless pairs of straw sandals, and no one knew where this town of Shuanggui was.

Seeing that autumn is coming, Mo Xian decided to find another ten or eight days at most, and stop.Instead, prepare a place for the two of them to enter the winter, otherwise it will be considered that they are both strong in martial arts.However, those who lack food and clothing in winter will suffer from the cold.

On this day, I found a small village, and the water hyacinth Mo Xian carried with me happened to run out of water, so he knocked on the door of a small courtyard: "Is there anyone in the house? My brothers and I have traveled so far, and we are so thirsty. Come here to beg for some water!"

"Come here, come here." Just a moment later, an old man came out from inside, "Come in, young man, there is water in the tank, go scoop it yourself."

"Thank you, old man." Mo Xian entered the courtyard, the old man seemed to have bad eyesight, only then did he see that he was carrying one on his back, and quickly asked Mo Xian to put him on a bluestone next to him.

"Are you brothers?" When Mo Xian fetched water for Seventh Senior Brother to drink, the old man lit a pipe and asked curiously.

"Brother, this is my brother."

"Good boy, how did you make it like this?"

Mo Xian shook his head, and said something irrelevant to the question: "It's chaotic outside."

But the old man seemed to understand. He often took a puff of cigarette and said nothing for a long time: "Young man, it's getting dark soon, where are you going?"

"We originally wanted to go to Shuanggui Town to look for relatives, but I have been carrying my brother on my back for so many days, but I haven't even found Shuanggui Town anywhere."

"Shuanggui Town? Young man, this is Shuanggui Town."

"Ah?" Mo Xian and Seventh Senior Brother were both stunned. Standing at the head of the village, you can see the end of the village. The whole village is full of adobe thatched houses, but there are not even two restaurants or teahouses. How can this be a town?
