C20 Returning to Peace

After a bloodbath, only the ruined Wise Beings Manor was left. Zhuge Qun and the few sect leaders of Southern Five Sects never would have dreamed that. . . This place will be his burial ground. Zhuge Xianliang's coffin was still there, and his wife, concubines, and children were also buried there. The whistling sound of the wind blew across the pale white land in the north, leaving behind only a desolate Wise Beings Manor. From now on, the Southern Five Sects would no longer exist in the Pugilistic World. From then on, the Wise Beings Manor would no longer exist in the Pugilistic World.

Duan Tianya came to Lee Yuer's grave, placed the six weapons in front of the grave, and burned some paper money for her. He was grateful for everything Lee Yuer had told him before he died. He was grateful to Lee Yuer for giving him a short and beautiful longing.

He still liked Lee Yuer. A man only needed to be willing to sleep with a woman and want to be with her. Even if she wasn't his woman, deep in his heart, he still missed her. Even if this kind of thing had only been done once, even if this kind of yearning only lasted for a moment, it was still worth paying.

He stayed in front of the grave for a long time. He had an indescribable feeling in his heart, was it emptiness? Was it loneliness? Or did he feel like he had lost something. However, none of these seemed to be the case. This feeling was very strange, indescribable, and unclear.

He had to get himself drunk! Thinking of this, Duan Tianya got up and found a nearby tavern. This tavern wasn't large, but its business was very good. The waiter in the tavern was also very enthusiastic. He hated himself for being too good at drinking. He only felt tipsy when the tavern closed.

The shopkeeper of the tavern walked over and bowed deeply. "Customer, the tavern is closing soon. You should go back and rest as soon as possible!"

Duan Tianya glanced at him and said, "Shop owner, please let me stay for a while. " As he spoke, he threw a large ingot on the table.

When the shopkeeper saw this, he instructed the waiter to watch the night in the shop and went to sleep first.

Duan Tianya looked at the waiter. He was a very young man, even younger than himself, but he loved to smile. Although it was late at night and he was sleepy, he was still happy between his eyebrows.

Duan Tianya asked, "Do you have more wine?"

The waiter said, "In reply to the hero, there is wine. "

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "Do you know that I am a person from the pugilistic world?"

The waiter said, "Don't you have a sword in your hand?"

Duan Tianya looked at the sword on the side. He did not expect this waiter to be a considerate person. He said, "Since there's wine, let's have more. "

The waiter smiled. "Hero, are you here to buy wine?"

Duan Tianya nodded and said, "Some things can be forgotten when you get drunk. "

The waiter advised, "But drinking to calm your worries is even more worrying. "

Duan Tianya said in surprise, "But now I just want to be drunk. "

The waiter smiled and said, "It's easy to get drunk. I have the most powerful Forgetting Spring in my shop. "

Wang Chunfeng?" Duan Tianya asked happily. Good name. Please bring it here as soon as possible. "

The waiter hesitated. "It's just that Wang Chunfeng is too drunk. I'm afraid that if you drink too much, you'll hurt him. "

Duan Tianya asked, "How strong?"

The waiter said, "Ordinary people will feel dizzy after one bowl, and five bowls with good alcohol tolerance will go into their intestines. They will be unconscious. "

Duan Tianya praised, "It's really strong. Give me two pots first. "

The waiter said in surprise, "Hero, you want to open two pots?"

Duan Tianya nodded and said, "Yes. "

The waiter was still a little hesitant. Seeing this, Duan Tianya took out two silver ingots and threw them to him, saying, "Just bring it over. "

The wine was good, but it was also very strong. A pot of it was a bit more than enough to make him feel dizzy. He threw two silver ingots to the waiter and said, "Two more. . . " Before he finished speaking, he had already fallen asleep.

It was noon the next day. Duan Tianya opened his eyes and found himself lying on the bed. His body was covered with a thick blanket. Looking again, he guessed that this was a room in an inn. He searched his whole body and found that his sword and belongings were the same. There were also four silver ingots neatly placed on the table.

At this moment, the door was pushed open and a person walked in. Upon closer inspection, it was the waiter from yesterday.

The waiter came to fetch water to wash his face. When he saw that Duan Tianya had woken up, he smiled and said, "Hero, you have woken up. You are really good at drinking. You can still drink two jars of Forgetting Spring Water after drinking so much. I have seen so many people who are good at drinking. You are the first one to drink so much. "

Duan Tianya stood up and touched his forehead. He said in a low voice, "What a strong liquor. "

The waiter handed over a towel and said, "Wash your face first. I will prepare some food for you later. "

Duan Tianya got up and washed his face. Not long later, the waiter served the food and pointed at the silver taels on the table. "Hero. This is the silver taels you gave me yesterday. "

Duan Tianya was puzzled. "This is yours. Why did you return it to me?"

The waiter smiled. "My mother once told me not to receive favors for no reason. "

Duan Tianya said, "But you already took care of and served me yesterday. It was not without reason. "

The waiter said, "It is a little too much. "

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "You have your own rules. "

The waiter said, "Mom is very strict with me. She told me not to steal, to be greedy, to not break promises, to not be inhumane, to not know how to repay kindness. "

Duan Tianya sighed with emotion, "You have a good mother. "

The waiter said disappointedly, "It's a pity that her son is incompetent. We have always lived a clear and bitter life. "

Duan Tianya thought for a moment and said, "I want to see your mother. "

The waiter said awkwardly, "The place we live in is very simple. I'm afraid. . . "

Duan Tianya waved his hand and said, "No problem!"

The waiter's house was not far from the inn, but it was very remote. Duan Tianya asked as he walked, "I don't know your name yet. "

The waiter replied, "My surname is Zhang and my name is Zhang San. " Zhang San then asked, "I haven't asked for your name yet!"

Duan Tianya said, "Duan Tianya!"

When they arrived at Zhang San's house, it was a well-organized thatched cottage. The surroundings were clean and tidy. There was a layer of tall grass on the four sides of the straw house to ward off the cold. When he pushed open the door, it was very dark inside. Although it was cold, it was still considered airtight.

The charcoal in the brazier was about to go out, so Zhang San hurriedly added some charcoal. The charcoal was burned by him himself, so this way he could save some silver taels. In order to not freeze his mother, he could only think of some methods that were within his ability.

A woman sat on a wooden bed, sewing some clothes. Under the illumination of the pine oil lamp, she looked exceptionally old.

Due to being smothered by the oil lamp's smoke all year round, the old man's eyes were not very good. After sewing a few times, he needed to wipe his eyes a few times. Moreover, every few stitches required him to watch for a long time.

Seeing that a guest had come, the woman hurriedly instructed Zhang San to pour some water.

Duan Tianya said, "I am Zhang San's friend. "

The woman carefully looked at Duan Tianya and said, "You are from the Jianghu. "

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "How would I know?"

The woman smiled and said, "Don't you have a sword in your hand?"

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "Maybe you used a sword to decorate yourself. "

The woman replied, "Then why are you holding it so tightly? The needle in my hand is something I rely on to make a living. I will hold it very tightly in my hand. Your sword and my needle are the same to each other "

Duan Tianya heard it clearly and could not help but sigh at the woman's opinion. He said, "I really want to be friends with Zhang San. I wonder if I, a person from the Jianghu, have the honor?"

The woman smiled and said, "People in Jianghu are also people, as long as they are good people. As long as you don't mind us poor people, you can be friends. Isn't that fine? "

Duan Tianya said, "I admire Zhang San's character. He wouldn't accept the silver that I gave him. When I was unconscious, I didn't lose anything. "

Zhang San hurriedly explained, "Mother, Duan Daxia drank too much yesterday. It was my son who served him by the side. He gave me a total of four silver ingots, at least a hundred taels. I have already given him back to Duan Daxia. "

The woman smiled and said, "This is what he should do. "

Duan Tianya immediately replied, "But now, very few people in the world would do this. "

The woman said, "The silver you gave him does not belong to him. His life is eight feet, and it is difficult to ask for ten feet. "

Duan Tianya looked at the thatched hut and sighed, "My teachings are correct. "

The woman smiled and rubbed her eyes a few times. She said, "When I was young, I was the daughter of a rich family. Later, I married Zhang San's father. He was a man of the martial arts world. He was very loyal and loyal to the Gu family. Later, he died a violent death. So, I would rather let us live a peaceful life than let Zhang San go to the martial arts world. "

Duan Tianya thought for a moment, took out all the money he had and said, "Give this money to Zhang San. It is enough to buy a tavern. You and mother can do some small business. " He put the money on the old table.

The woman hurriedly said: "Absolutely not. As the saying goes, one's life must come sometimes, and one's life must not be forced. We don't want your money"

Duan Tianya said, "I am willing to do it. "

The woman said. "There are some things that cannot be requested. "

Duan Tianya said, "You do not lack gold and silver?"

The woman said, "Lack. Poverty is like washing water. How can you not lack?"

Duan Tianya was puzzled. "You do not like gold and silver?"

The woman said again, "How many people in the world don't like money?"

Duan Tianya asked again, "Then why did you refuse?"

The woman smiled and said, "People need to know how to abstinence. They need to be able to take it and let it go. This kind of person can understand everything. "

Duan Tianya said seriously, "Anything?"

The woman replied, "Everything is possible!"

Duan Tianya asked, "Is this difficult?"

The woman smiled. "Since ancient times, how many people have been officials? How many people really view money as dirt? And how many people have truly seen through the world of mortals? If they really saw through it, why did they still need to cultivate? The ones who have truly done it either have a history of their own, or are renowned throughout the world. "

Duan Tianya explained. He said with concern: "Thank you for my guidance. Junior has a presumptuous request, I hope I can fulfill it. "

The woman nodded: "I will do my best to fulfill it. "

Duan Tianya said, "I am Duan Tianya. I would like to ask someone to take me as a foster son and serve me. I would like to have a brother with a different surname from Zhang San. "

The woman smiled. "What virtues and abilities do we have? Since you don't mind, I agree that you will become my son's brother. "

The ceremony of becoming sworn brothers was very simple, to the extent that it was only a cup of tea and a few kowtows. Then, Duan Tianya left the money behind. The mother and son hurriedly stopped him, "This matter cannot be allowed. "

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "You and I are already a family. Tomorrow, we will go to that winery and split the profits. If you refuse this, you will not treat me as a family member. "

At this point, they were already treating each other as outsiders. After exchanging pleasantries for a long time, Duan Tianya and Zhang San returned to the bar.
