Chapter 811 – Promised to be the first on earth

Chapter 811: Once promised to be the first on earth

There was rain in early spring, pattering against the gray tile roofs of the town that had already decayed.

The little yellow dog of Doctor Xin’s family came back from afar, lying down in front of the door of the medicine store and napping, as usual, no one will pay attention to it, after all, it is just a dog.

The neighbors sat together in twos and threes to talk about Dog and Cui’er, which was the only “interesting thing” worth talking about in the town.

It’s been three months since Cui’er got married, and she hasn’t come back once. The Pavilion Chief and his wife went to visit, but they were thrown out, and the Pavilion Chief’s son, Song Yu, always comes back with a black face, and it’s rumored that he hasn’t yet been promoted to the position of head of the constabulary.

And that love to laugh and love to play, always take the main character in Uncle Xin’s story analogous to himself, everywhere to show off the teenager A dog is gone, all day and night to be dumb, for three months did not say a word to people.

“Snap ……”

A dog father came from a distance, stood in front of the pharmacy, hesitant, full of difficulties, he is also just in his early forties this year, but in three months white sideburns.

“Come in.”

Dr. Xin’s voice suddenly came from inside the room.

Father Dog breathed out, lowered his head and entered the pharmacy, looking at Xin Zhuo and smiling awkwardly.

“Sit.”

Xin Zhuo put down the herbs at hand and pointed to a chair to the side, his long gray hair was combed meticulously, his face was full of wrinkles, and the rotten sores on his body emitted a gust of fishy odor.

A dog father only next to half ass sat on the chair, looking at Xin Zhuo’s appearance, wanting to speak again and again, and finally heaved a sigh.

Xin Zhuo laughed: “There is something you might as well say straight out.”

“Big brother Xin ……”

The forty-something year old man’s eyes suddenly red, choked, “A dog this child is considered to be wasted, but I do this father can not help ah, you say, we are a common people, how can we climb up to the pavilion chief’s family? The head of the pavilion is in charge of the whole town and ten villages with hundreds of people, and he eats more meat than we do rice, so we can’t climb up the ladder. I’ve been trying to persuade Dog since he was a child, but he wouldn’t listen.

For three months now, he hasn’t said a word to me and his mother, and we’re the only kids in the family ……”

Xin Zhuo was silent, waiting for him to continue.

A good while, the dog father said: “Dog yesterday said, want to go to the army, just the court of the guerrilla general in the next county recruitment, I and his mother discussed the night, decided to let him wish, let him go, but, I heard that into the army to be up and down, so as not to be divided into cannon fodder, our relatives borrowed all over the place, only to get together to the three taels of silver is not yet, so I want to, want to ……”

Said here really can’t go on, the town’s only surplus wealth may only Xin big brother, just Xin big brother is old, and no children, old and no one to rely on ……

“Pah!”

Xin Zhuo sharply pulled out twenty two silver on the table, “I have all the savings of these years, take it.”

“Big Brother Xin, it’s too, too much ……”

Dog father stood up in a panic, his hands and feet at a loss.

Xin Zhuo waved his hand and gave an expulsion order: “Take the money and get out!”

“If A Dog doesn’t give Big Brother Xin a pension in the future, I’ll beat him to death.”

Ah Dog’s father was thankful, gritting his teeth and picking up the silver to leave in a hurry.

On the third day, early in the morning, the rain not only did not get smaller, but got a little heavier.

Dog riding the only old donkey at home, carrying a traveling bag straight to the front of the pharmacy, looked in, and found Uncle Xin sitting in an old chair in the door drinking tea, as if waiting for a while.

He quickly jumped off the old donkey, “plop” kneeling in the water in front of the pharmacy, knocked three times in a row, and then said with red eyes: “Uncle Xin, a great favor is not to say thank you, the dog this go, but where there is good fortune, will be sure to take your old man as a father to serve.”

The corner of Xin Zhuo’s mouth hooked up a trace of smile, but his eyes were deep, his voice vicissitudes asked: “What is the purpose of you becoming a soldier? Tell me.”

Dog immediately said: “Protect the family and defend the country!” Xin Zhuo shook his head: “The heart is not sincere!”

Dog was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and let the rain drip down his still somewhat green face to his chin, and then smashed down along his chin to the ground, and after a while he gritted his teeth and said: “In order to get ahead, to be superior, only by becoming a soldier can you climb up step by step, and the king’s vassals and generals would rather have the right kind? Sacrifice the death of a body, dare to pull down the emperor, this is Uncle Xin’s words! I’m going to break out into a world of my own, what pavilion chief, order Yin, I’m going to step down, my beloved woman, must not be taken away so easily, I never want to experience that kind of helplessness and pain again.”

Xin Zhuo silently looked at him, and did not make a sound for a long time.

This child is sixteen years old, when he was the king of the mountain, he was also sixteen years old, similar words, as if …… also said.

Dog raised his head: “Uncle Xin, am I wrong?”

Xin Zhuo still did not make a sound.

Dog gritted his teeth: “Is Uncle looking down on me? Didn’t you have any dreams and wishes when you were young?”

“I know that when I was young, I apprehended the clouds and promised to be the first on earth!”

Xin Zhuo silently looked towards the sky for a long, long time before muttering this verse, as if he was saying it to Dog, and as if he was saying it to himself, his voice was slow, and his pair of old eyes were filled with fatigue and vicissitudes.

Those years of the mountain king, those years of the vassal king, those years of the clan elite, those years of being hunted all over the world, and those years of countless old friends, one by one, crossed in the mind, and instantly turned into the present day of the celestial man failing, and day by day suffering ……

The ambition …… is still there?

Dog literacy word is not much, and are Xin Zhuo handed over, at the moment did not listen to too much understanding.

Xin Zhuo finally looked at him: “You should know …… that life and death have life and wealth in heaven!”

A dog nodded heavily: “Uncle’s stories over the years have taught A dog a lot of truth, A dog understands, begging …… Uncle to give a name, A dog has no name, the last name will use Uncle’s last name, it’s Uncle who gave A dog the opportunity to regenerate!”

Xin Zhuo’s pair of old eyes emitted a faint light of essence, casually said, “Chengzhi!”

“Chengzhi …… Xin Chengzhi!”

Ah Gou recited silently a few times and jerked his head up: “This name Ah Gou likes very much!”

“Wait a moment!”

Xin Zhuo suddenly got up and went into the inner room, and when he came out again, he had three more books in his hands, half of Sun Tzu’s Art of War, half of The Analects of Confucius, and half of Martial Veins Openings the ink had not yet dried, and he commanded, “Remember to read more!”

“Got it Uncle Xin!”

Dog solemnly took the book and stuffed it into his backpack, got up on the donkey, slapped the reins, and ran straight into the distance, only to run more than ten steps, and then stopped, turned back and laughed: “Today is the third day of the third month of the seventeenth year of the Great Peace of the Great Kang Empire, Uncle Xin and wait for the news, sooner or later, Xin Chengzhi’s name will be known all over the world, belonging to me, I’m going to get it all back!”

“Da da da da ……”

The donkey’s hooves trampled the water and went straight into the rain in the distance.

Xin Zhuo silently watched, watched for a long, long time, until he couldn’t see anything else, then he said, “Karma!”

Little Yellow glanced up at him.

Xin Zhuo said: “Don’t you understand? Without me telling the story for these many years, just by virtue of him being an indigenous brat who can’t read a word, his beloved woman being married off would never have been resentful for too long. I have enlightened his heart is the cause, his behavior today is the fruit, I send him the future books is the cause, the future life and death is also the fruit!

The doctrine of cause and effect is by no means a matter for the cultivation world, and it took me two lifetimes to figure it out.”

Little Yellow cocked his head and peed a Thomas hover.

Xin Zhuo shook his head, got up and walked into the room, continuing to organize the medicinal herbs, as if he had aged a few years again.
