Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 1240 The Long Street
"Master, I'm about to die. If I really leave, I've been starving for three days, and neither of you cares about me. I might just suddenly die any minute now. Oh, Master, when I ascend to heaven, please bury me next to the ancestral master's golden statue. I'll ask the ancestral master for a talk then." After saying this, Su Yun ignored Wang Wenyuan, picked up the water bucket, and walked towards the Taoist temple.

“Nonsense, who would dare bury themselves in the Taoist temple with the golden statue of the Taoist Ancestor? That would be disrespectful to the Taoist Ancestor. But you haven’t gone hunting these past few days, have you? How can you be starving? Your master and I were thinking of coming back for a good meal.” Wang Wenyuan showed no intention of taking the bucket of water from Su Yun’s hand and just followed behind.

Su Yun, who was fine at first, suddenly collapsed to the ground without warning after walking for a while.

Wang Wenyuan initially thought Su Yun was faking it, and laughed heartily as he walked over. However, after a long while, Su Yun remained motionless, and Wang Wenyuan gradually began to panic. His heart pounded, so he reached out and placed his finger near Su Yun's nose to check her breathing. He discovered that there was indeed no breath at all. Wang Wenyuan panicked and grabbed Su Yun's wrist to take her pulse. To his horror, he discovered that Su Yun had no pulse at all; it was a death pulse.

Wang Wenyuan could no longer contain himself and ran towards the Taoist temple on the mountain, shouting that his master still had a chance to save his disciple. As he ran, he shouted, "Master, Er Gouzi is dead! Master, hurry! Help! Er Gouzi is dead!"

Seeing that Wang Wenyuan had disappeared, Su Yun sprang to his feet, dusted himself off, picked up his bucket, and turned to walk up the north mountain, saying as he went, "I'll scare you to death, you damned old lecher, you damned old glutton."

Three days ago, Old Man Xuanyi and Wang Wenyuan went down the mountain one after the other. You two old lechers, you went down the mountain and stole all the flying dragons that Su Yun usually hunted. Not only the flying dragons, but also several mink and fox pelts were stolen. Su Yun noticed something was wrong when he returned from Mother Bear's place in West Mountain. Looking at his room, the door was open and the room was empty. He knew that those two old guys from the east, west, and north had taken the room down the mountain to please their lovers.

Su Yun stood at the entrance of Wuliang Temple, cursing loudly. But after cursing, the things were gone and gone. That night, there was no food at all in the entire Wuliang Temple. Even the grain had been taken away by Wang Wenyuan, which made Su Yun shout again in anger.

Three days passed, and this morning, he discovered that his master, Wang Wenyun, had returned. Su Yun didn't know if his master had returned or not, and he didn't ask. Su Yun also ignored Wang Wenyuan and went about his business, thinking that he would go to Xishan to eat something later. Wang Wenyuan knew he was in the wrong and kept trying to coax Su Yun, but Su Yun didn't give him a kind look at all. He went about his business and didn't cook. He just went out to fetch water, which led to the scene at the beginning.

Speaking of Mama Xiong and her two children, they had quite a history with Su Yun. The two unreliable masters and advisors would always sneak down the mountain and not return for days. A three-year-old child was left alone on the mountain. He couldn't cook for himself, and he was also scared and terrified. At first, he would cry loudly for a while, but after crying himself to sleep, little Su Yun dared not stay alone in Wuliang Temple. He was really scared, so he left Wuliang Temple alone, thinking of finding his master. But how could a child know the way down the mountain? Besides, how far could he go? He walked and stopped, and finally got lost.

Su Yun wandered aimlessly through the dim forest. He didn't know the way and was filled with fear. As he walked, he saw two tiny black figures about his height ahead. Su Yun couldn't tell them apart and assumed they were his kind. He glanced at them but didn't pay them any attention. However, Su Yun's eyes were immediately drawn to what the two figures were holding. It emitted a sweet aroma that was irresistible, and Su Yun was already starving.

At this moment, Su Yun was like a hungry wolf deep in the western grasslands, his eyes gleaming with a green light. Without a word, he pounced. The two little creatures were no pushovers either. Seeing Su Yun pounce, they dropped what they were holding and started wrestling with him. Su Yun was thin and extremely hungry, and in the end, he was overpowered by the two black creatures and knocked to the ground. The two little creatures seemed to mock Su Yun, but they didn't hurt him. They just sat down next to Su Yun with two pieces of honeycomb, eating them with relish while watching him lying on the ground. At this moment, Su Yun was filled with despair and started crying again. Just then, he felt the sky suddenly darken, and a huge figure appeared before him. Then he saw a huge bear paw. It was the mother bear who came over, holding a piece of honeycomb to his mouth. Su Yun was stunned at first, then immediately snatched the honeycomb and took a bite. Throughout the whole process, he wasn't afraid. After eating the huge honeycomb, Su Yun was revived from his hunger.

Su Yun was surprised by the continuous good fortune. The two little ones who had fought with him earlier had somehow gotten some wild fruits and brought them to him. He didn't stand on ceremony and ate them in big mouthfuls.

From then on, he became brothers with the two little guys. A year later, his master learned about this and told him that the three were called Black Bears and were the cubs of the local overlord, King Kong Bear. Su Yun didn't care at all. He didn't listen to what his master was saying. He only knew that he had a bear mother and two brothers. Su Yun even gave them names: one was called Black Boss and the other Black Second Brother. As for King Kong Bear, Su Yun had been calling it Bear Mother ever since the day he ate the beehive. King Kong Bear seemed to understand Su Yun's words and treated him gently.

In this way, three-year-old Su Yun gradually became familiar with the bear family in Xishan. Especially in the summer, little Su Yun hardly ever went to the temple and lived in the bear mother's cave in Xishan. She would go out to forage with the bear brothers, go fishing in the river, play together, and lie on the ground at night to look at the stars.

Su Yun, whose real name is Su Qingyun and whose Taoist name is Qingyun, was born in Sujiazhai. He was sent to Wuliang Temple on the main peak of Haer Mountain when he was young. His nickname is Er Gouzi. Why is he called Er Gouzi? Because there really is a person in Sujiazhai named Su Da Gou, the grandson of Grandma Yang at the east end of the village. This child has been a fool since he was a child. Every day he sits under the big poplar tree at the entrance of the village, smiling and watching the people passing by.

Su Ergou was quite famous in the Haershan area; everyone knew him. Why? Because since he was eight years old, he had been traveling around, leaving no chickens behind wherever he went. Yes, he left no chickens behind. For some reason, this kid especially loved eating chickens. Besides hunting in the mountains, he would steal chickens from various villages. And you know what? You could never catch a glimpse of him.

Su Ergou learned the art of thievery from his advisor. His advisor used this skill to frequent the homes of widows, while Su Ergou used it to frequent the chicken coops of various households.

Su Ergou learned martial arts from his master, training his muscles and bones externally and cultivating his inner energy. He has been practicing since he was three years old. After fighting with the Hei brothers, his strength has become astonishing, and his martial arts skills have long surpassed those of his master and grandmaster.
