Chapter 11: Fighting Bullies in the City of Eleven ([-])
Duan Wuji returned to the third grandfather's house, and immediately got into his small room and began to practice the new method of inner strength.

In the morning of the next day, Duan Wuji got up and filled the water tank first, and then began to clean the yard. After cleaning the yard, Duan Wuji immediately drove the cattle to the outside of the village.

When he came outside the town, Duan Wuji still drove the cattle and horses to the place where the grass was the most luxuriant. Then, as usual, he first practiced boxing kung fu, and then began to practice swordsmanship.Finally, I started to practice the eighteen arhat stick techniques.

Tired from training, Duan Wuji crawled under the cow's belly and drank the milk, then drove the cow home for breakfast.

After breakfast, Duan Wuji immediately led the cattle out of the village and went straight to the outside of the town. Duan Wuji blasted the cattle and horses to the highest pasture, and then began to practice martial arts again. Bottom drink milk.

After tossing and tossing until evening, Duan Wuji led the animals back to the village.Time flies, and it's been more than two months in a blink of an eye. The weather has gradually turned cold, and the pasture has turned yellow.

Now there are only two cattle left, and the rest of the cattle have gone to the autumn plowing. Duan Wuji's work of herding cattle has become a lot easier, and now Duan Wuji can concentrate all his energy on participating in martial arts.

Duan Wuji could be seen practicing martial arts all day long on the grass, and after more than a month of martial arts practice, now Duan Wuji's martial arts has made great progress, and all kinds of martial arts have reached an extremely proficient level.

In the evening, Duan Wuji went back to the third grandfather's house again, and the third grandfather leaned on a stick and said to Duan Wuji: "Wuji, now the autumn harvest is over, and the autumn plowing has also come. Look at this cow full of fat." , Grandpa intends to sell all these fat cows, it will not make any money, and next year we will exchange a few calves, so that we can earn a lot of money.

Tomorrow is the big fair, so why don't you follow your uncle and your second grandfather to sell cattle.

You show them something, sold the cow, and asked your second grandfather to buy you a fire-roasted meat roll, what do you think?When you come back, you can go home and rest for a while.

After I bought a calf, I am asking you to come and release it. What do you think? "

When Duan Wuji heard that he could go home in a day or two, he was overjoyed.

"Grandpa Sanzu, okay, I'll go with them tomorrow. It doesn't matter if you eat fire or not. I'll follow them around the market. I haven't been to the market when I grow up. It just so happens that I follow them around the market. , I have also learned a lot.”

After speaking, Duan Wugao went back to practice happily.

The old man happily returned to the house with a cane, and saw three people in the house, an old man in his 50s, with a gray beard and a lean look, wearing a khaki-colored coat and trousers. Drink tea unhurriedly.Standing next to them were two young men, one in his thirties and the other in his early twenties.

The two young men were both dressed like peasants.All of them were dressed in blue trousers and coats.

Seeing the old master walk in, the three stood up immediately. "Father, grandpa, you come in, sit down quickly."

The old master sat on the chair next to him, and said with a smile: "Just now I made an agreement with Wuji to let him go to the market with you tomorrow. I have already promised him that I will buy him some fire rolls after I sell the cows." meat to eat.

It's not easy for this child in our family, so you should take good care of him. "

The old man was not happy when he heard that. "Father, what are you taking him for? Do you think we are selling cattle? Or are we taking care of him?"

The old man smiled and said: "Welcome to the Spring! Don't look down on Wuji.

Think about it, Wuji can kill two bad wolves at such a young age.

Which of the three of you can do this?This time the journey to buy cattle is relatively long.

I plan to ask Wuji to be your bodyguard. If there is anything wrong with you, maybe Wuji can be of great help to you.As a father, my vision is not bad. "

Duan Yingchun nodded. "Father, we know about this, don't worry, we will treat him well tomorrow. Dad, don't worry, we will go to rest if there is nothing wrong."

After speaking, the three of them walked out.

In the morning of the next day, the four of them led the six cows on the road early. After leaving the village, Duan Wuji asked his second grandfather, "Second grandfather, where is this market? How far is it from us?" far?"

Duan Yingchun smiled. "It's far away, at least 89 miles away from here. The market is in the west gate of our Taiyuan Mansion."

"It's so far away? Then why don't we ride a bull? Isn't that easier than walking?"

"Riding a bull? Will the bull let me ride?"

"Hey, it's okay. I often ride these cows. Now I'm being honest. Do you see? This flower cow is a cow head, and other cows listen to it, but it listens to me.

I will ride this ox head, and the oxen behind you will be fine, I can assure you. "

After hearing this, Duan Yingchun said to her two sons, "Why don't we try?"

"Try what! Let's ride it until dark!"

"Why don't we try it? If it doesn't work, let's go down and lead the cow and go."

After hearing this, the two young men said angrily, "Just try it. What's the point? Then Dad, can you go up the bull's back? We'll go up until it's all right."

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Uncles, don't bother with this matter, I naturally have a way to let the second grandfather go up, so don't worry about it."

"Well, that's fine."

After finishing speaking, the two young men climbed onto the back of the bull first. Duan Wuji led a big white bull, and lightly tapped the bull's front feet, and the cow immediately crawled to the ground.

"Second Grandpa, now you old man can go to the cattle."

Speaking of which, Duan Wuji handed him the head of the rein, and when the old man sat down on the bull's back, Duan Wuji patted the bull's head lightly, and the cow immediately stood up from the ground.

Duan Wuji rushed up to the bull and said to them: "You two uncles, second grandpa, sit still, it's time for us to set off."

After speaking, Duan Wuji tapped the cow's butt lightly, and the cow immediately raised its tail and ran forward.The cow behind saw it and followed closely.

The herd ran slowly like this, although it was not too fast, but

It's much faster than people walking.His two young uncles smiled and said: "Wuji, you are really good! I didn't expect you to have these two skills."

Duan Wuji led the herd of cows to run along the road, and said to his second grandfather, "Second Grandpa, are you alright?"

Duan Wuji's second grandfather smiled and said, "What's the matter? It doesn't matter if you hurry up."

After listening to Niu, Duan Wuji turned to his second grandfather and said: "Second grandfather, I don't know how to go this way, you direct me, let's speed up, do you think it will work?"

"Hey, what's wrong with this? Wuji, let the cow run hard, I'll show you the way, what do you think?"

"Okay! Then I will speed up."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji lightly slapped the cow's buttocks three times. Although the beating didn't hurt, the cow immediately raised its tail and mooed violently, like an arrow leaving the string, it rushed forward quickly. go.

The speed has more than doubled all of a sudden, and the dust is flying everywhere.

Duan Wuji's second grandfather grabbed the reins, and while directing the road for Duan Wuji, he said to Duan Wuji: "Wuji, you are really amazing. It's amazing that these cows are so obedient by you!"

After more than an hour of running around, a city finally appeared in front of my eyes, and this city was Taiyuan Prefecture.

Seen from a distance, this is indeed a big city, the city wall alone is more than ten miles long.

Duan Wuji's second grandfather said: "Wuji, the city in front of us is Taiyuan Mansion, and the speed of this journey is indeed not a little bit faster than in previous years.

Why don't we find a place to rest for a while, and we'll leave after the herd has rested.

Anyway, it is only three or four miles away from the animal trading market. "

After hearing this, Duan Wuji took the lead and said: "Okay, let's go after I drive the cows to the grass beside the road to graze for a while."
