The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 772 0080, the head of Xingtian
Zhao Zheng's heart tightened when he heard the words, it seemed that the old man was thinking of something sad.The past is unbearable, but some past events will make you sick if you hold them in your heart for a long time.Since the old man wanted to say something, Zhao Zheng naturally listened attentively.

It turned out that the old man 50 years ago had two sworn brothers.Among the three, the old man is the youngest, so he is the third brother, and the other two are elder brothers.Although they had no blood relationship at all, the two elder brothers treated him very well.The two elder brothers have completely different personalities, one is stable and the other is straightforward.They do business with the old man, and no one cares if they make money or lose money. The important thing is that their brothers can be together.

Later, the business grew bigger and bigger, and the booming business made them become shopkeepers.It is no longer necessary for them to escort the goods in person, but the three of them just can't take time off. They went from the capital to the county for a sale. After discussing with each other, the three of them decided to personally escort them, in order to go to the county to buy a house.

When passing through Duntou Mountain, it was getting late and everyone rested here.Hearing someone screaming at night, the old man's nightmare officially began at that moment.

First, a guy disappeared inexplicably, and then they encountered a monster with a big mouth, which bit off their elder brother's arm in one bite.The elder brother whose arm was bitten off urged them to throw away the goods and run for their lives immediately. The old man and the second elder brother were unwilling to abandon the elder brother, but they were finally scolded by the elder brother.

The mountain road on a rainy day is very difficult to walk, and the old man and the second brother did not know how many falls.The old man cried bitterly when he got up several times, and was finally dragged by the second brother to continue running for his life.At that time, the second brother kept scolding him. If they couldn't escape, their eldest brother would die in vain.

It seemed that Duntou Mountain was about to be pulled out, and the old man was injured at this time.The second brother supported him and thought it was slow, so he ran with his back on his back, and was caught up by the monster before he ran far.The second brother put the injured old man on the ground, waved to him and motioned him to leave quickly.

The old man refused to leave, hoping to fulfill the promise he made when he asked for help.We cannot be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but we hope to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day.But the second brother refused, and the second brother scolded more fiercely than the eldest brother. In the end, his last sentence made the old man decide to run for his life.

"If you don't leave, brother and I will die in vain."

One sentence awakened the dreamer, the old man ran while crying, and looked back while running.The monster ate his second brother, but it didn't stop there.When there is no way to escape, the best way is to face it, because facing you still has a chance to come back, turning around and running or letting the situation develop will only lead to a worse loss.

The old man couldn't outrun the monster, so he stopped in front of a thorny tree.Hiding in the woods, he chose to face the monster head-on.

The monster chased to the woods and found the old man who hid in the tree.But it can't climb trees, the old man stayed seven or eight feet away from the ground, no matter how much the monster hopped, it couldn't reach it.

But the monster wasn't stupid, and started crashing into trees when it couldn't reach it.Speaking of which, the monster was quite powerful, and it could hit the tree with three or five blows.In the end, the old man had to think of a way, otherwise he would be knocked down by that monster sooner or later.

He broke off a few branches, picked out a few pointed ones, held them in his arms, and jumped from tree to tree, almost falling to the ground.

The monster followed the old man until the old man fled to the side of the cliff.The old man didn't say the specific process, only that he led the monster down the cliff.Whether it was dead or alive, he didn't know, but he later learned the name of the monster.It was also from that time on that he has been living in Duntou Mountain.

The old man's home is near Duntou Mountain, but he has never really understood Duntou Mountain.He has lived here for more than fifty years, and he has seen all kinds of strange things.It has long been familiar to him, 20 years ago he met a few guys who claimed to come here to play.

After hearing so much from the old man, Zhao Zheng also said something about them.For example, those six trainees from the six major tribes of the Xiongnu, such as him, a native of Qin who was born in Zhao.No matter how much he changed his opinion of the old man, Zhao Zheng would definitely not reveal his true identity.

It's just that he admires the old man very much now.If someone has heard his story, they will definitely think that he stayed in Duntou Mountain to guard his two sworn brothers.In fact, it was true, but the main reason was that he didn't want anyone to die because of that beast.

So he built the thatched hut in the depths of Duntou Mountain, and it was built in the most eye-catching place.It stands to reason that building it in this place will not fail to attract the attention of the glutton, and the old man has already had a countermeasure for this.He not only set many traps around the hut, but also installed many traps in the hut.

He has never mentioned this matter to his wife, but his wife has always been worried about him, and instead of a good life in the city, she insists on living with him in this deep mountain and old forest.

Speaking of this, the old man's eyes were red.In this life, he has no shame above the sky, below the earth, inside his parents, and his children.But he is ashamed of his two sworn brothers. If they hadn't risked their lives, he would have died in Duntou Mountain 50 years ago.He is also ashamed of his wife who is by his side, who has been running the housework without complaint for many years, but has never been able to learn the truth of everything.

Everyone is curious, curious about new things, curious about strange environments.But when they grow up, many people realize that the less they know, the happier they live, and the less they think, the happier they live.It's a pity that time will not turn back, and doing right or wrong will only become a thing of the past.

It rained all day, and Zhao Zheng stood outside the door with the old man all day.I only heard a roar that was very close, but it gradually drifted away after a while.After nightfall, Zhao Zheng imitated the old man and kept the spear by his side.In case of a sudden situation, he can take up weapons at any time.

One day of downpours, in exchange for the next day cloudless.The early birds were chirping on the branches, and the pine trees of Duntou Mountain were jumping up and down on the tree opposite the hut.And the pair of unnamed birds, each of which was more melodious than the other.

Zhao Zheng played a set of boxing techniques in front of the hut. Practicing martial arts has many similarities with Xiwen.Three watch lights and five watch chickens are when the man is studying.Practice three nines in winter and three days in summer.If you don't endure hardships, you won't be able to grow, and if you don't suffer, you won't get ahead. These are all great principles.

In the past, Zhao Zheng didn't like to listen to the truth, but after returning to Qin, he experienced so many things, so he deeply understood a truth.

People in the world say that they rely on their parents at home and friends when they go out, but they are actually misleading all beings.Relying on the sky, relying on the earth, relying on parents and friends is not the right way. The only right way is to rely on yourself.

As the saying goes, the master leads into the door, and the practice is up to the individual.Zhao Zheng has never let himself relax for a long time. For the ambitious goal he wants to achieve, he has to learn too much.

After breakfast, the grandma packed some dry food for them.The old man pulled Zhao Zheng aside to talk, and he always told Zhao Zheng a few more words before leaving.Some things once can last a lifetime, the old man is over 80, and he doesn't expect to see Zhao Zheng again in the future.But he likes this child very much, so he wants to chatter a few more words.

The greatest wealth that the elderly possess is experience, which cannot be bought or exchanged.So no matter what the old man said, Zhao Zheng listened carefully, even if he didn't need it for a while, it would definitely be useful in the future.

The old man sent everyone to the pass of Duntou Mountain, and if they left the pass, they would be considered to have left Duntou Mountain.The old lady had bad legs and feet, so she was not allowed to follow.The old couple liked this group of children very much. After all, they might not meet a few living people in the deep mountains and old forests for three to five years.

After writing down the old man's instructions one by one, everyone left the mountain pass one after another, Zhao Zheng and Shan Weiwei were the last two.When Zhao Zheng turned his head after walking a long distance, the old man was still standing at the mountain pass and waving at him.He turned around, cupped his fists and bowed to the old man, bent at ninety degrees and murmured softly: "Don't worry, old man, I will definitely not let you down."
