Words must die [Comprehensive martial arts]

Where there are people, there is conflict.

As big as fame and fortune, as small as a penny, or even a cold steamed bun, people always have disputes for various reasons, and disputes are often accompanied by violence.

In a remote alley in Jiangnan City, several ragged beggars blocked a thin little beggar into a corner.

"Stinky boy, do you understand the rules and dare to act wildly on the brothers' territory without even saying hello?"

"Be sensible, hand over the steamed buns in your hand, don't force me to be rough!"

"..."

The little beggar was tightly protecting the steamed bun, his eyes were a little frightened, but a stubborn expression could be vaguely seen on that dirty face.

He is very clear about the consequences of fighting against these people, but he wants to give up the food he finally got...

The steamed buns after the night had already become cold, with a sour smell, as hard as a stone, throwing them on the side of the road, maybe even a dog would not eat them, but for a little beggar who had been hungry for two or three days, it was It is a life-saving straw.

After handing over this steamed bun, if he is unlucky next, he may starve to death.

And luck is never something you can rely on.

After quickly weighing the pros and cons in his head, the little beggar gritted his teeth and simply squatted down along the corner of the wall.

He gave the answer with action.

Do not pay!Resolutely not to pay!

What followed was, of course, some punching and kicking.

There was quite a commotion, but none of the households in the alley was willing to stop it.

The people living in this area are basically ordinary people. The young and middle-aged people go out to work for their livelihood during the day, and the old and weak women and children are left behind at home. Even if they want to stop it, they don't have the ability.

Fortunately, the law and order in Jiangnan City is not bad, those beggars will pay more or less attention to propriety when they strike, and they dare not seriously cause any lives.

After venting their anger, they left the alley cursing again.

"hiss--"

After confirming that the group of people had gone far away, the little beggar curled up in the corner grinned and got up from the ground. His unclean clothes were now even more ragged and dirty, and his hair was completely messed up in the fight, like a A bunch of dry straw.

Randomly brushing back the hair that was drooping in front of his eyes, the little beggar stretched his limbs, slowly moved his feet and walked out.

As he walked, he eagerly gnawed on the steamed buns.

Although the steamed bun was sour and hard, and caused him to be beaten, the feeling of gradually filling his stomach still made him grin the corners of his mouth, revealing a satisfied smile.

That's great, with this steamed bun, even if he can't get food for the next few days, he doesn't have to worry about starving to death.

But the palm-sized steamed bun, the little beggar took a full cup of tea.

He just walked out of the alley when he took his last bite.

Then, in a daze, he almost bumped into a pedestrian who happened to pass by the alley.

The little beggar didn't see the other person's appearance clearly, only saw that the clothes on that person seemed to be made of exquisite materials, so he hurriedly lowered his head and took a few steps back, for fear of offending the other person.

He didn't want another beating.

When retreating, the little beggar didn't notice the pothole formed at the entrance of the alley due to years of disrepair, and his feet were empty, so he immediately lost his center of gravity and fell backwards.

Oops!

The little beggar closed his eyes wanting to cry without tears, and was already mentally prepared for his butt to be swollen.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a force coming from his shoulder, which prevented him from continuing to fall backwards.

This is……

The little beggar quickly opened his eyes, and looked at the kind-hearted man who offered him a helping hand with a look of surprise.

"Are you okay?"

In the morning light, the thin young man in white was smiling, his amber eyes revealed a hint of concern, and asked him in a very soft tone, "Did you sprain your ankle?"

The little beggar was dumbfounded.

This, this person who looks like a son of a rich family is willing to contact him, a dirty beggar?

Gu Shenyan, who looked like a son of a wealthy family, waited for a while, and when he saw that the other party still hadn't recovered, he sighed helplessly.

Isn't it tiring to maintain this half-suspended posture?

With a slight force, he directly pulled the little beggar up, and then calmly withdrew the arm that was holding the other's shoulder.

After standing still, the little beggar finally regained his composure, took two steps back subconsciously, distanced himself from the other party, and timidly apologized: "Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention when I was walking just now, almost hit you..."

"It's ok."

Gu Shenyan smiled indifferently: "But you should be more careful when you walk next time. Hitting someone is just a trivial matter. There are still passing carriages on this road."

"Um……"

The little beggar lowered his head, a little at a loss.

He has long been used to the contempt or disgust of others, but rarely feels such obvious kindness from others, so at this moment, apart from being grateful, he feels more reserved and confused.

I don't know what to do at all.

Gee.

Gu Shenyan raised his eyebrows, and his tone was a little helpless: "Do I look scary?"

"No! No, it's not—" the little beggar shuddered, and racked his brains to recall the flattery he had heard before, regardless of whether it was suitable or not, he all put it on Gu Shenyan: "You are very good-looking. , Jade and Yushu are suave, suave, handsome and mighty in the wind, just like the fairy girl in the painting, ah no, it's a fairy!"

The little beggar's flattery is not against his will.

He really thought Gu Shenyan was good-looking.

Even if you compare it with the seventh son of the Hua family who is most popular with young girls in the city, Gu Shenyan is not far behind.

The corners of Gu Shenyan's eyes couldn't help twitching.

He is very confident in his appearance, after all, when he was in Chunyang, many junior sisters gave him embroidered handkerchiefs, so he accepted Yushu Linfeng's suave, handsome and martial arts with peace of mind.

But that fairy...

Gu Shenyan, who had a bald forehead, a white beard and hair, and a grandpa holding a big fairy peach in his hand, came to mind, so he felt a little insensitive.

But this little beggar is interesting.

I thought he was a little shy and introverted, but I didn't expect his tongue to be quite smooth.

Thinking of his next plan, Gu Shenyan's eyes flickered slightly.

"How old are you this year? Do you have a name?"

"Eh?"

The little beggar was confused by these two sudden questions, but under Gu Shenyan's gentle gaze, he still gave an answer.

"My name is Baozi, and I should be 14 years old this year... right?"

He chose his own name, because the best food he has ever eaten in his life is steamed stuffed bun.

As for age, Baozi also heard from the old beggar who picked him up, so he only had a rough estimate, but Baozi felt that he should actually be a year or two older.

Because he grew slower than others when he was young, and when he was seven or eight years old, he still looked like a normal four or five-year-old child.

"14 years old?"

Gu Shenyan had such a small accident.

He really didn't realize that this little guy who was not as tall as his chest was already 14 years old.

I thought he was in his early teens at most.

Thinking of the skinny Lin Chai's touch when he pulled him up just now, Gu Shenyan's eyes became softer, and a feeling of pity arose in his heart involuntarily.

"Little guy, would you like to come with me?" He raised his hand and rubbed Baozi's messy hair, and said softly, "I'm planning to open a restaurant outside the city, and I'm planning to recruit staff. The wages may not be high, but Board and lodging are included, three meals a day are enough."

"You—are you telling the truth?!"

Baozi couldn't believe his ears.

The sun didn't come out from the west today.

How could someone recruit him as a buddy and eat three meals a day?

Gu Shenyan nodded.

Baozi's eyes burst out with an incomparably shining brilliance.

He must be willing to do such a good thing!

It doesn't matter if you don't pay wages, as long as you have a meal, even if it's just plain water and steamed buns, he will be satisfied!

Baozi has no doubts about Gu Shenyan's purpose.

A beggar like him may not even be able to see his teeth, and he can't find any value in his body that is worth pursuing. Gu Shenyan has no need to waste his time on him.

So he agreed without any hesitation.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Gu Shenyan, who recruited a future buddy, was in a very happy mood.

He quickly made plans for the next itinerary.

"Let's go, first go buy some new clothes for you, then find an inn to settle down, and after lunch, go to the craftsman to finalize the construction of the restaurant."

The place has been promising for a long time, and it only needs to go through a formality before the ground can be broken.

If everything goes well, Gu Shenyan estimates that his restaurant will officially open in about two months.

Thinking about it makes me look forward to it =v=

That's right, Gu Shenyan, the former second-generation disciple of the Qingxu sect of Chunyang Palace, who was praised by Lu Zu for his outstanding talent in the way of swordsmanship, and Gu Shenyan, who has countless fans and brothers, discovered that he had timetraveled again inexplicably. The goal is not to be a hero and become famous in the world, but to open a restaurant and become a cook!

The decision was not sudden.

In fact, Gu Shenyan, who had just graduated from university, planned to inherit his ancestral business and become an excellent chef before traveling to the world of Sword III.

As a result, after sleeping for a while, he changed from an adult to a baby who was still in his infancy.

Who knows how devastated Gu Shenyan was when he woke up and found that the whole world had changed.

Then he was even more devastated to find that he had traveled to the Tang Dynasty.

A Tang Dynasty with one religion, two alliances, three demons, four families, five swords and six schools.

……

Gu Shenyan's mood at that time was really beyond words.

He was dazed for a long time, if he hadn't accidentally entered Chunyang Palace and was awakened by Lu Zu, he would have been lost on the road of life for a long time.

After nearly 20 years of Taoism influence, Gu Shenyan is already a veritable Taoist youth.

No matter whether he traveled again or suddenly changed from dumb to normal, his mentality was not affected, nor did his ideal of life change.

Gu Shenyan's life ideals are as follows -

Find a place with beautiful scenery and open a small restaurant to make up for the past regrets.

If you have nothing to do, you can bask in the sun, drink tea, practice swordsmanship and recite scriptures.

When you meet a suitable candidate, you will accept an apprentice to inherit the mantle.

It doesn't matter if you don't meet them.

Everything is up to fate.

——To sum up, it is actually old-age care.

Gu Shenyan, who looks 20 years old but is nearly half a century old in mind, said, as long as you don't get in the way of poverty, you young people can do whatever you want.

The author has something to say: [Minor revision]

[Thank you for the reminders (╯▽╰) the stupid author has changed the Buddhist system to the Taoist system]

The new article is updated, and it is customary to post collections and comments~

By the way, let's briefly talk about the personality

At this stage, Lao Gu is a Dao (old) family (big) baa (grandfather) full of culinary skills.

The magic skill of Crow's mouth has been lit up since he was able to speak, but he himself has not discovered it yet.

And, Baozihui is a small expert in assists.

Finally, I would like to thank Yun Jin @君子如风小喜爱的地雷for the reward.
