Erlangzi opened his eyes wide and looked straight at the black roof made of thatched and mud. The old quilt covered with his body was dark yellow, and he could not see his original appearance, and it still emitted a faint smell of musty smell.
The other person next to him was his second brother Han Zhu. He was sleeping soundly and there were sounds of different slap sounds from him from time to time.
About half a meter away from the bed was a wall made of yellow mud. Because it took too long, several inconspicuous slender holes were cracked on the wall. From these cracks, the nagging complaints from the mother of Han, occasionally mixed with the sound of Han's father smoking a dry tobacco pole.
Erlangzi slowly closed his astringent eyes, forcing himself to enter a deep sleep as soon as possible.
He knew very well that if he didn't fall asleep honestly, he would not be able to get up early tomorrow and would not be able to go into the mountains with other companions he had made an appointment to pick up dry firewood.
Erlangzi's surname is Han Li. His parents can't get such a decent name. This is a steamed bun made of two coarse grains from his father. I asked for the name given to Uncle Zhang in the village.
When Uncle Zhang was young, he worked as a companionship student with rich people in the city for several years. He was the only scholar in the village who knew a few words. Most of the names of children in the village were given by him.
Han Li was called Erlangzi by the villagers, but he was not really stupid, but the smart child in the village. But just like the children in other villages, except for his family, he rarely heard anyone formally call him Han Li, but the name Erlangzi and Erlangzi have been with him to this day.
The reason why he was nicknamed Erlangzi is only because there is already a child named LanZi in the village.
It's nothing. Other children in the village are also called Gouwa and Erdan. These names may not be much better than Erlangzi.
Therefore, although Han Li did not like this title, he could only comfort himself all the time.
Han Li looks very inconspicuous and has dark skin, just like an ordinary farmer's child.
But deep down, he was much precocious than his peers. He yearned for the prosperity and prosperity of the outside world since he was a child, and dreamed that one day he could walk out of this palm-sized village and see what Uncle Zhang often said about the outside world.
Of course, Han Li never dared to talk about this idea to others.
Otherwise, it would definitely surprise the villagers. A little kid with a stinky breast would have such a thought that an adult would not dare to think about it easily.
You should know that other children about the same age as Han Li only know how to chase chickens and dogs all over the village, let alone have the strange idea of leaving their hometown.
Han Li's family of seven, with two elder brothers, one sister and one younger sister. He is ranked fourth in the family. He is just ten years old this year. His family lives very hard and he can't have a few meals with meat a year. The whole family has been wandering around the food and clothing line.
At this time, Han Li was in a daze, as if she had not yet fallen asleep, and there was still a thought in his mind: when going up the mountain, he must help his beloved sister and pick more red currants she likes to eat the most.
At noon the next day, when Han Li was carrying a half-person-high firewood pile, and carrying a bag of berries in his arms, rushing home from the mountains, he didn't know that there was a guest at home that would change his fate.
This distinguished guest is his third uncle, a close relative of his closest relative.
I heard that in a restaurant in a small nearby town, he was a powerful man as his parents called him.In the past century, the Han family may have had a relative with a certain identity like Uncle San.
Han Li only met this third uncle a few times when he was very young.
His elder brother was an apprentice to an old blacksmith in the city, which was introduced by this third uncle. This third uncle often asked someone to bring some food and food for his parents, and took good care of their family. Therefore, Han Li also had a good impression of this third uncle. He knew that although his parents didn't say it, he was very grateful.
The eldest brother is the pride of the family. I heard that when an apprentice of a blacksmith, he not only carries food and accommodation, but also has thirty copper coins a month. When he is officially hired, he will earn more money.
Whenever my parents mention my elder brother, they are full of energy, as if they have changed.
Although Han Li was young, he was envious and had the best job he thought was early on. He was attracted by a craftsman in the small town and accepted it as an apprentice, and since then he became a decent person who made a living by craftsmanship.
So when Han Li saw Uncle San wearing a brand new satin dress, a fat round face and a small beard, he was very excited.
After putting the firewood behind the house, he went to the front room to greet his third uncle shyly and shouted obediently: Hello, Uncle San, just stand aside honestly and listen to his parents chatting with his third uncle.
Uncle San looked at Han Li with a smile, looked at him, praised him for being obedient and sensible, and then turned his head and told his parents about his purpose this time.
Although Han Li was still young and could not fully understand Uncle San's words, he also understood the general meaning.
It turns out that the restaurant where Uncle San works belongs to a sect called Qixuan Gate. This sect is divided into outer sects and inner sects. Not long ago, Uncle San officially became an outer sect disciple of this sect, and was able to recommend children aged 7 to 12 to participate in the test of Qixuan Gate recruiting inner sect disciples.
The five-year Qixuan Sect recruits inner disciples test will begin next month.This third uncle, who is a bit smart and has no children, naturally thought of Han Li, who is of the right age.
Han’s father, who had always been honest, was a little hesitant when he heard things like the sects in the world before, and was a little hesitant and unsure of his mind. He picked up the tobacco pole, took a few sips, and sat there without saying a word.
In the mouth of Uncle San, Qixuan Sect is naturally the most amazing and most important sect within a radius of hundreds of miles.
As long as you become an inner disciple, you will not only be able to practice martial arts for free in the future and eat and drink for free, but you will also have more than one or two silver dollars a month.
Moreover, even if the person who participated in the test had the opportunity to become an outer sect like Uncle San, who would specialize in managing the business outside the sect for Qixuanmen.
When he heard that it was possible that one tael of silver could be obtained every month and that he had the opportunity to become a decent person like Uncle San, his father finally made up his mind and agreed.
Uncle San was very happy to see that his father agreed.
He left a few taels of silver and said that he would come to take Han Li away in a month. During this period, he would make more delicious food for Han Li and replenish his body so that he could handle the test.
Then the third uncle greeted Han’s father, touched Han Li’s head, and went out to return to the city.
Although Han Li didn't fully understand what Uncle San said, he could go to the city to make a lot of money.
His wish was almost possible to come true, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep for several nights in a row.
After more than a month, Uncle San came to the village on time and wanted to take Han Li away.
Before leaving, Han's father repeatedly told Han Li to be honest, tolerant when encountering things, and not to argue with others, while Han's mother asked him to pay more attention to his health and eat well and sleep well.
In the carriage, watching his parents gradually fading away, Han Li bit his lips tightly and forced himself to prevent the tears from flowing out of his eyes.
Although he has been much more mature than other children since he was a child, he is still a ten-year-old child after all. The first time he went out far away made him feel a little sad and confused.
He was young and secretly made up his mind, and rushed back immediately after he earned a lot of money and never separated from his parents.
Han Li never expected that the amount of money he had lost its meaning to him after he went out this time. He actually embarked on a path of immortality that was different from that of mortals and embarked on his own path of cultivating immortality.
The other person next to him was his second brother Han Zhu. He was sleeping soundly and there were sounds of different slap sounds from him from time to time.
