Chapter 3 The third time through vicissitudes

In a moment of impatience, Pei Jue jumped over the wall from the Flying Dragon Escort without any consideration of the consequences. With his eyes closed, he jumped from the top of the wall to the ground. With a bang, his whole body was in pain, but he still didn't fall to the ground. This is an alley that is not too wide, but both ends extend very long. Pei Jue thought about it and knew that going to the left was the gate of Flying Dragon Escort Bureau, so he walked towards the right end of the long alley. At this moment, he is excited, and although he is ignorant of the future, he is full of fantasy, because at this time, the problems of reality have not troubled him yet.

Walking out of the long alley, there was a wide bluestone road, which stretched to the left and right. He had no purpose, and walked to the right at a leisurely pace. It was still early at this time, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. A green woolen official sedan chair came over, and there were eight servants in front of them, carrying the signs of "Quiet" and "Avoidance". They must have been Beijing officials who had returned early. Stay away from the side of the road and let the official sedan go over. The curtains of the official sedan chair were drawn down so that he couldn't see clearly who was sitting inside. He wondered curiously: "What are the people sitting inside thinking at this moment?"

In the end, he came to a conclusion for himself: "That must be nothing more than 'fame' and 'profit'!" He smiled, feeling that he was much happier than the man sitting in the official sedan chair, because at least he was completely free without any restraints. His heart seemed to have grown wings and flew to a distant place. He was wearing a lake-colored blouse, and a pair of thin-soled fast boots under his feet. This was his attire when he practiced martial arts, and he walked very lightly. Turning out of this road, there is a big market. It is the morning market at this moment, and people are crowded inside, making chaotic noises.

He walked leisurely, feeling very relaxed, but after a short walk, he was hungry. This is the first question about reality that bothers him. There are many things in the market. The famous "candied haws", "sweet hawthorn" and "jujube cake" in Beijing are all his favorites on weekdays. See you now. It's even more salivating, and I can't wait to ask for some to eat right away. But he didn't even have a penny in his pocket, so he could only watch it helplessly. At this time, for the first time, he understood the function of "money" and also understood its value.

Starting from this question, various practical problems confronted him. Life, this is the most important issue for people, and the most indispensable thing in life is "money", because "money" can represent almost everything. "How should I live?" Pei Jue was confused. First of all, he couldn't even solve today's lunch, so there was no need to talk about other things, so he also became panicked. Seeing that he was well-dressed, the food vendors rushed to ask him for business, but he shook his head and refused. In fact, he didn't want to buy some food, but he just couldn't do it.

With the degree of hunger in his stomach, the fear in his heart also increased: "If you don't eat at noon today, you will eat at night. Even if you don't eat tonight, but what about tomorrow?" He doesn't know anything about how to make a living except for the skills used in the middle school. He even started to regret it a little, but since he made up his mind, he would never change it. He has the stupidity of "I would rather die than change my mind". He walked with the crowd, but the thoughts in his heart were several times more chaotic than the crowd. Tudi——

Someone patted him lightly on the back, and he turned around in a daze. A wretched man was looking at him and smiling. The strange thing was that he seemed to be out of control at this time, and ran away with that man. That person walked fast, so he also walked fast, and that person walked slowly, so he walked slowly. Although his subconscious mind was clear, his body seemed to no longer obey his orders. The wretched man walked out of the market, turned seven times and eight times, and walked towards a narrower alley. The houses on both sides of the alley were built very low, but they were high-rise buildings. From here the window is almost reachable.

Walking to the last few houses in the alley, the man walked into a small door, and Pei Jue, already possessed by a demon, followed him in.The house was smelly and small, and there were a few monster-shaped women sitting downstairs, laughing and cursing loudly, without a hint of femininity at all. As soon as the women saw the man bring Pei Jue in, they rushed forward, gathered around Pei Jue, and frantically touched him, some said: "This thing is really not bad." Touching his face, he said with a smile: "Look, this bastard's skin is so tender, and his face looks like it was blown torn. When he dresses up, he looks like a girl."

Pei Jue was vaguely angry, but his mind was full of chaos, and he didn't even have a clear feeling of anger. The man was very pleased with what he heard, and pushed away the "women" who were getting more and more awkward looking, and said, "I'll go upstairs and dress him up." He grinned, and the teeth in his mouth turned khaki. The man went upstairs, and Pei Jue followed, and walked into a room. There was nothing in the room except a big bed. Then he took out several women's clothes from a camphor wood box under the bed, compared them with Pei Jue, chose a bright red one, put it on the bed, and put the rest back into the box.

He changed into the red dress for Pei Jue, pushed Pei Jue on the bed with a bang, walked out, and closed the door as if it had been locked. At this moment, Pei Jue was completely like a corpse that had lost its soul, unable to resist anything, his mind was also confused, and he only vaguely felt that this fact was too strange. This is the posture when he was pushed on the bed, he didn't move, and he didn't know how long he waited. Finally, the door was opened, and a fat man walked in, looked at Pei Jue, then stretched out his head, said a few words to the people outside, and slammed the door shut again.

The fat man staggered to the bed, reeking of alcohol, and reached out to untie Pei Jue's clothes.It turns out that this place is a "girl like girl", that wretched man, with the "flower-shooting technique" of the underworld, photographed Pei Jue here, it's also because Pei Jue is too delicate. But Pei Jue didn't understand this at all. Although he was unconscious, he felt that something was wrong with this matter, but his limbs were weak and he couldn't resist at all. The fat man looked like an "old player". He took a closer look at Pei Jue, then staggered out the door, brought back a glass of water, put it in his mouth, and sprayed it all over Pei Jue's face.It turned out that the fat man knew that Pei Jue was fascinated at a glance, but he didn't think being fascinated was enough. He wanted to wake Pei Jue up with water before playing, but unexpectedly he saved Pei Jue. As soon as Pei Jue was sprayed with water, his mind immediately regained consciousness. Water was originally the only antidote for "shooting flowers". The fat man wanted to reach out to untie Pei Jue's clothes again, and Pei Jue's strength had recovered at this moment. Although he didn't know what was going on, he knew it must be something bad. The fat man was drunk, and said with a smile: "Little boy, don't be afraid, come—" Pei Jue was furious, and with a push of his elbows, he rolled over from the bed. The fat man grinned and said, "Little boy, what are you doing?" Before he could finish speaking, Pei Jue punched him on the bridge of the nose On the ground, there was an ouch in pain, and even tears flowed out. The fat man cursed loudly: "Little bastard, you are crazy." Pei Jue was even more angry, and punched the fat man in the face again. Although his martial arts were not good, a person who has practiced martial arts for so many years is naturally stronger than others Stronger, and naturally stronger than a human, how could the fat man withstand this punch? Pei Jue was furious, and punched the fat man a few more times, causing the fat man to cry out in pain, "Help me!" Then, there was a sound of random stairs, and two burly men ran up. They thought they were thugs here. Hearing the sound upstairs, they ran up. Unexpectedly, the door of Pei Jue's room was locked inside by the fat man, so the two thugs were blank and anxious outside, but couldn't get in. Pei Jue punched like rain, beating the fat man until he screamed like a pig. But the cry became weaker and weaker. It seemed that the sight was not good enough. The more the two thugs listened, the more wrong they became, and they couldn't care about anything anymore. The door of the room was pushed open, and the two thugs rushed in staggeringly. At this time, Pei Jue was riding on the fat man, beating the fat man until he was only angry, and the thugs yelled angrily: "Little bastard, I dare you to live a little impatient!" He grabbed Pei Jue by the collar and dragged him down. Thinking about Pei Jue's young age, lack of true martial arts training, and his short stature, how could he be the opponent of these two bull-like men, and he was dragged straight up by them. The room was too small, and the two big men couldn't use their hands and feet in the room at all, so they dragged Pei Jue out, opened their palms, and were about to slap Pei Jue's face, cursing: "Little bastard, you don't want to ask?" What kind of place is this, just die here!" Pei Jue was caught by these two men and couldn't move, but he was Lian Jiazi after all. In desperation, he slammed his elbow outward, and with a bang, hit the two big men hard. The two big men screamed in pain, and they couldn't help letting go of their hands. Pei Jue grabbed the road and wanted to flee downstairs, but how could the two thugs let him go, cursing: "Today, the uncle must treat you well." Pei Jue knew that he was no match for these two men, so he secretly screamed that it was worse, looked around, but saw that the window by the corridor was open. Before he woke up, he was completely hazy about what he experienced, only some faint outlines, and of course he didn't know whether it was upstairs or downstairs. So he thought to himself: "Just try to get punched by these two guys, and jump out of the window before we talk." At this time, the two men rushed towards him again, he blocked with his left hand, and stretched out his right fist to hit the man's chest, the man had just hit him with an elbow punch, which was not light, and he did not dare to be careless at this moment , also blocked with his left hand, and slammed his right fist on Pei Jue's shoulder. Unexpectedly, Pei Jue had a plan in mind, even though he was hit on the shoulder, he ignored it, lowered his head, got out from under the man's left arm, jumped hard, and jumped on the window sill without daring to touch his head. Looking back, I didn't dare to look down, and jumped down. Fortunately, the building was not high, but even so, when his feet touched the ground, his whole body was shaken, he could no longer stabilize his figure, and his buttocks fell to the ground. Naturally, the fall was not light, but at this moment, he couldn't care about anything other than wanting to escape from this place. He got up and ran without knowing the direction. This alley is mostly a place where filth is hidden. At the door of the small buildings on both sides, there are scattered "xianggu" who are dressed as men or women. I saw someone jumping down from the building. He ran away knowingly, neither panic nor stop him. This is the sympathy hidden in human nature. Although these people are doing these shady activities, they are not willing in their hearts, but they are just forced by the environment. Pei Jue's eyes were darkened, and he rushed forward, but they secretly made way for them. I don't know how long Pei Jue has been running. People on the road looked at him strangely, thinking that he was a "crazy woman". He ran for a long time, but he couldn't move anymore. He listened carefully and knew that no one was chasing him, so he stopped slowly and took a few breaths. What happened just now seemed like an absurd and bizarre evil. Meng, he is young and pure, how could he know what kind of deed this is. He started to walk forward again, and gradually regained his composure, his limbs were a little weak, he didn't know whether it was because he was too frightened or too hungry. Looking around, I saw that this place is actually the lowest level in the suburbs of Beijing, surrounded by wooden houses, and most of the people living in the houses are the lowest level people in Beijing. Pei Jue felt that everyone was looking at him, so he looked down!He was wearing women's clothes, but he was wearing a pair of men's thin-soled fast boots. This attire was indeed nondescript to the extreme. Without a mirror at the moment, he couldn't know the shape of his face, but he was in a state of embarrassment. Some women and children standing at the door pointed at him and snickered. He blushed and walked to the remote place with his head down, trying to escape these mocking eyes. This is human nature, when one feels shameful, one wants to go where there is no one.Pei Jue left less and less people. It was already night, and the evening breeze in spring still had a hint of chill. The spring grass was growing, and the spring insects were singing at night. He felt a little cold, and the thoughts in his heart were rushing like a tide. The sea of ​​people was so vast that he had no place to return to. If he was a little weaker at this moment, he would immediately return to the Flying Dragon Escort, because at least it was safe there. But the stubborn nature of talent made him prefer to be cold and hungry, and he walked on foot. His eyes felt a little wet, and he was about to shed tears. He quickly suppressed his desire to cry, because he thought this was not a manly man. behavior. Suddenly, he heard whispering voices behind him, and he hurriedly turned his head to look. In the darkness of the night, he saw only a few figures following him, and he didn't know what they were planning. His heart began to beat again, and now he was frightened, afraid of everything, so he walked faster. Unexpectedly, those figures followed him faster and faster, and he cried out inwardly: "Why do I keep encountering these unlucky things?" He didn't pay attention to his feet, bumped into a large stone, and fell down. The few figures burst into laughter and rushed forward. They were all ruffians in disheveled clothes, very young, with small melon caps on their heads and their sleeves rolled up high. Those people held Pei Jue down, and some of them touched his body and face. When they laughed, there was a hint of pornography in their voices. Pei Jue's heart moved, and he suddenly understood their intentions, and thought to himself: "So they regarded me as a woman." He couldn't help being angry, funny, and anxious, struggling desperately with his hands and feet, but those young men were also young He was strong and there were so many people, although he struggled with all his strength, it was useless. Those hooligans laughed louder and louder, and some stretched out their hands to untie his clothes, saying: "I have no money these days, and I am bored, this little girl is really a treasure sent from heaven." Pei Jue cried out anxiously. Under such circumstances, it's no wonder he was anxious. At this moment, he couldn't help but secretly blamed himself for being stupid: "If I have mastered martial arts, who would dare to bully me?" With one kick, although one person was kicked down, the other person pushed up again. Suddenly, there was a sound of hoofbeats from a distance, which was extremely harsh in the still night, and the hooligans said to each other: "Someone is coming." They all stopped their hands and listened carefully. Pei Jue secretly said it was a fluke, and was afraid that the man would not come here, so he opened his throat and yelled a few more times, but a man covered his mouth and said, "If you call me again, I will kill you." The sound of hooves went further and further away, and they passed by, and these rascals started to move again, Pei Jue was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, no matter how hard his hands and feet were, he couldn't break free. Unexpectedly, the sound of hoofbeats suddenly accelerated, and they were running in this direction. The scoundrels were a little panicked, but they were not afraid because of the large number of people, and said harshly: "Someone breaks in, and the lords will make trouble together. Kill him." Before the words were finished, a rider was already galloping towards him, the speed seemed to come at the same time as the sound of hooves, it was really astonishing. The horse was pure white, and it circled in front of them. The rider on the horse said sharply, "Who are you? What are you doing here?" Pei Jue was overjoyed, someone finally came to rescue him. Those rascals shouted: "What the hell are you kid, you dare to meddle in the uncle's business, you put your tail between your legs as soon as possible—" Before the words were finished, there was a slap on the ground, and the person who spoke had a whip on his head, and he was beaten with an "ouch" and cried out. Those rascals immediately became chaotic and cursed: "My boy, you dare to hit someone." They surrounded him with all their hands and feet, trying to pull the knight off his horse. The people immediately shouted angrily, and the horsewhip hit them like raindrops. The strangest thing was that the small horsewhip seemed to have a hundred catties of strength, and it was painful to the bones. Pei Jue sat up and looked through the starlight. He could be seen vaguely as a scholar, and he was not very old. This could be heard from his accent, but sitting on the horse, whipping a group of young people , but like a god, Pei Jue secretly envied him, knowing that this person must have advanced martial arts. Those guys were really rascals, they were beaten on the ground, but they refused to leave, and cursed: "Okay, you hit, you hit." Rolled on the ground to hug the horse's legs, but the horse was also extraordinary. The man was kicked until he was breathless, and immediately he was furious, the horse whip suddenly turned into a point, and the soft whip was like a stick in his hand, he touched it casually, with a whistling sound, and pointed at one person's "shoulder well" hole". This kind of acupuncture technique with soft weapons is rare in martial arts, what's more, what he uses is just a horsewhip.How long have those scoundrels encountered such a superb skill? In a blink of an eye, two of them were knocked down by him, lying on the ground and unable to get up again. The rascals were startled and shouted: "Killer!" and fled in despair. Although Pei Jue was not good at martial arts, he grew up in a family of martial arts, and he was familiar with it all the time, but he knew it very well. Now when he saw the knight's skills on horseback, he was shocked and thought: "This man's martial arts are really good!" The knight on the horse looked at the back of the man and sneered slightly. Pei Jue stood up and wanted to thank him. When he looked up, he saw the man was all white and his eyes were shining in the dark. He bowed his head again. look at yourself!The feeling of inferiority arises spontaneously again. The man also lowered his head, looked at him carefully for a while, and suddenly asked, "Where is your home?" Pei Jue was stunned, full of worries, all in his heart, and thought to himself: "He is about the same age as me, but his martial arts are many times stronger than mine. Oh, what am I? What do I have? I have nothing. !” The expression on his face couldn’t help being very sad. Seeing that he didn't answer, the man asked impatiently, "Don't you have a home? Why don't you talk?" Pei Jue nodded, then bent deeply, bowed his head, turned around and left. The pain in his heart at this moment cannot be described by any words. There seems to be something blocked in his throat, and he can't say a word. He took another two steps forward, and the man looked at his back, with a look of pity showing on his originally expressionless face. He tapped the saddle with the butt of his whip, and seemed very troubled.Suddenly, he shouted loudly: "Hey, girl, come back quickly." Pei Jue stopped, he knew that the "girl" in the mouth was referring to him, but he was unwilling to explain, because he felt that he was too shameful, and if people asked him why he was wearing a blouse, he would be embarrassed. How can he tell the difference, he is extremely competitive, he is unwilling to accept pity and sympathy for others, and ridicule for others.He hates it even more. But he still walked back and stood in front of the man's horse. The man looked down at him for a while, with a look of surprise on his face. Then he suddenly said: "Since you have no home, do you want to follow me?" He looked up to the sky and sighed, and then said: "I am also a person without a home." He spoke with a Jiangnan accent and spoke quickly. But there was also a desolate tone in his voice. Hearing this, Pei Jue felt pity for each other. Before he could speak, the man said again: "I can teach you some martial arts so that you won't be bullied by others. As for how much you can learn, it depends on yourself." He said that his own martial arts were unfathomable, and that others could not even learn it to the end. Pei Jue's joy was really unexpected, but after he thought about it, he said timidly, "But I'm too stupid, I can't always learn well." The man showed a little surprise, and said, "Have you ever learned martial arts?" Pei Jue nodded. The man snorted and said, "Who says you're stupid? Who did you learn martial arts from before?" Pei Jue said: "Dragon-shaped eight-palm Tan Ming." He thought that the name he said would surprise this person, but when he heard it, he snorted coldly and said, "What kind of thing is he!" Ba Zhang's status in the martial arts at this time is very important, this person heard it, but he despised it, so where did this person come from? "Could it be that this man's martial arts are higher than Uncle Tan's?" Pei Jue thought secretly, but seeing this man's young appearance, he felt that his speculation was a little unreasonable. The man's temper seemed very irritable, and he asked impatiently, "Are you coming with me?" Pei Jue thought to himself, "Anyway, I'm going to learn from this man, if I can learn it well—" He didn't dare to think about it anymore, because that was his whole dream. So he nodded again, the man didn't speak, he waved the whip, the horse raised its hoof, and took two steps forward, the man bent down immediately, and grabbed Pei Jue's waist with his hands. Pei Jue only felt his waist tighten, and his whole body vacated, and then sat in front of that person, because he was too young, and there were many things that he hadn't considered. If he thought about it carefully, with his attire and the situation at that time , this person will definitely think that he is a woman, but wants him to go with him and hugs him, doesn't it seem like he has ambitions for "him"?
