Refusing to ascend at the beginning

Chapter 3 A young man is dying
Zhongtu, Pei State, Dingshan City.

It's winter, heavy snow is flying, and the cold wind is coming in the darkening night, howling wantonly.

Looking at this city from the air, everything you see is white.

In the city, the streets and the roofs of every house are all covered with silver.

The sky and earth are so dazzlingly white that it feels like there is no room for other colors.

However, there is a bit of bright red, which looks particularly dazzling like plum blossoms blooming in the open space in the Ding Mansion courtyard.

A young man about fifteen or sixteen years old fell in a pool of blood. His eyes were closed tightly and blood was continuously flowing from his mouth and nose.

The blood seeped into the snow beneath him, slowly spreading like a bloody plum.

Anyone can see that at this moment, he is exhaling more and breathing less.

The young man only felt that his body was getting colder and colder, the sky was getting darker and darker, and his consciousness was sinking slowly into darkness.

The ringing in his ears grew louder, slowly covering up the laughter around him.

He realized that he seemed to be... dying.

The young man's heart was filled with strong unwillingness and confusion.

When the road is rough, is there anything wrong in standing up to help?
He couldn't understand why he, who had done good things, ended up in this situation.

He couldn't help but think that if he just went up the mountain to collect firewood and went to the city to sell firewood as usual today, he wouldn't mind other people's business...

Will he not die...

……

……

This morning.

Niujiao Village, a few miles outside Dingshan City.

"Mom, I went out to collect firewood."

The young man was striding out of the wooden house with a wooden frame on his back and an ax tied to his waist.

In this cold weather, the water turned into ice, but his clothes were thin.

"Feng'er, wait a moment, wait a moment." A voice came from inside the room.

Not long after, a peasant woman was seen hurriedly walking out of the house, followed by a child as young as three or four years old.

The peasant woman held a cotton-padded coat in her hand. The cotton-padded coat was full of patches, but there was no leak.

As she walked, she complained softly: "Quickly, put on your clothes. It's been too cold these days, and you kid still wears so little."

The boy quickly waved his hand and refused: "Mum, no need, it's not like you don't know that I haven't been afraid of the cold since I was a child, and I'm very strong! Even if I go out now, I can kill a wolf with one punch."

The peasant woman didn't care and wanted to put the clothes on him directly, but he was carrying a wooden frame and couldn't put it on.

The peasant woman pushed the clothes into his hands and said, "No, Mom thinks you are cold! Put it on!"

Seeing his mother's concerned eyes, the boy couldn't refuse. He thought for a moment, knelt down and wrapped the cotton coat around the child's body.

The child who was originally wearing a cotton coat suddenly became as round as a rice dumpling.

The young man raised his head, smiled and said to the peasant woman: "Mom, I'm really not cold. You see my brother is shivering from the cold. Let him wear it."

The peasant woman frowned: "You kid..."

"Brother, I want to collect firewood too!" The child shouted loudly, interrupting the peasant woman's narration.

"Okay, when you grow to be as tall as big brother's shoulders, big brother will take you with him."

"Don't lie!"

"Do not lie to you."

"Mom, I want to eat ten steamed buns today! This will help me grow faster!"

The young man smiled and touched the child's head, stood up, walked quickly into the snow, and turned around and said, "Let's go."

The child excitedly waved goodbye.

The peasant woman stood at the door, watching the young man's leaving figure with concern, while sighing in her heart.

If the child's father had not been out hunting a few years ago, he encountered a family of three who were attacked by two wolves. He enthusiastically came to help, but was injured in the fight with the wolves and eventually died. Taking on the responsibility of raising a family, I have to go out even in the cold winter like today.

The peasant woman sighed and closed the door, shutting out the cold.

……

……

The young man walked forward in the snow, but the cold could not get close to him at all.

His body has been so strong since he was a child. No matter how cold the winter is, he can survive the winter with only a thin coat. He saves his family a lot of money on winter clothes.

The young man climbed up the mountain on a familiar road and began his day's work.

It was getting dark, and the firewood behind him was already full.

Guessing that the time had come, the young man put away his axe, tied the firewood on the wooden shelf, and carried it on his back.

He wanted to go to Dingshan City a few miles away to sell firewood while it was still dark, and then rush home.

On days like this with heavy snowfall, firewood can be sold at a better price.

"Maybe the money from the sale can be used to buy some meat back. My brother hasn't eaten meat for a long time." The young man thought happily.

He quickened his pace and arrived at Dingshan Castle in half an hour.

The young man entered the city excitedly and saw the citizens standing in twos and threes on the side of the street at the city gate, pointing somewhere.

He curiously followed the gazes of the city residents and saw a young girl kneeling on the ground, with a wooden sign beside her that read "Sold as a slave to bury her parents."

The girl kneeling on the ground was young, in her prime, with an extremely delicate and charming appearance. Her eyes were big and bright, but at this moment they were extremely red, with tears on her face that had frozen into ice.

It is charming and sympathetic.

The young man felt something in his heart. He stared at the girl with wide eyes and murmured: "Why...how could she..."

The young man recognized this girl.

The first time he met her was at his father's funeral.

She was being held by her parents, looking confused.

At that time, he was sure that his family did not know these three people. Out of curiosity, he asked his mother and heard that her father had sustained fatal injuries in order to save their family of three.

My mother said that this family was not wealthy, but they still helped my father when he was injured and hired the best doctor in the city. They also tried their best to leave some money for the funeral today.

From then on, the young man had complicated feelings about this family, because his father always taught him to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and to draw a sword to help when the road was rough.That day, my father just did what he thought was right, so although I can't say I hate that family now, my father died for them after all.

The boy was still young at the time and did not know how to deal with such complex emotions. However, since then, he has deliberately avoided that family. He only occasionally went to the city to see how the family was doing.

When he grew up, he thought that only if their lives got better and better could they live up to his father's efforts to save them.

Only in this way, my father's death was not in vain.

But today, the young man saw a scene of a girl selling her body to bury her parents at the gate of the city.

For a moment, he was a little dazed.

Next to her, an old man who was watching shook his head and sighed: "Hey, I know this little girl, she is a pitiful person."

The young man's ears pricked up, and he and several other busybodies gathered around him.

One of them asked: "Old man, do you know what happened to this girl?"

The old man nodded and said: "Her father is a carpenter. When he was setting up a stall on the street a few days ago, he was hit by a horse, which led to what happened today..."

"Riding horses to charge into each other?" The busybody thought thoughtfully and whispered, "Is it the damned Young Master Ding?"

The old man snorted and raised his eyebrows. The white frost hanging on his head was shaken off. He said angrily: "Isn't it true that in Dingshan City, who else is so lawless!"

The troublemaker quickly "shushed" the old man and said, "Keep your voice down! If someone hears it, it will reach Young Master Ding's ears. You can't live without it."

Hearing this, the old man shrank his head and looked around nervously. He was relieved when no one noticed him.

The good guy continued to ask: "Won't Mr. Ding pay some silver?"

"Pay? Bah!" The old man said angrily in a low voice: "Did you know Ding Ershao on the first day? Humph, he didn't stop after bumping into people, and walked away, even the servants who followed behind, They didn’t take it seriously, they just looked at it and walked away laughing.”

Several people spat, filled with indignation, and cursed the Ding family in a low voice.

The old man sighed: "Later, the little girl and her mother took out their family savings and asked a doctor to treat her father's injury for a few days. However, he died after being unable to be cured. Her mother had been ill for a long time, and she was depressed for a while. Went together."

Several people shook their heads and sighed.

A originally warm and harmonious family of three was destroyed in just a few days, leaving only the girl alone.

"The little girl originally wanted to organize a funeral for her parents, but her family's savings were all spent, and that's why she ended up in this situation."

"Old man, why don't you do a good job and buy this little girl."

"Hey, in this world, it's not easy to take care of yourself and survive. How can you still have the energy to take care of others?"

"Hey, it's also..."

The young man heard the tragedy that happened to the girl and silently clenched his fists.

Blue veins burst.

Of course the young man knew who Young Master Ding was, and probably no one in the entire Dingshan City was aware of Young Master Ding's bad reputation.

That Young Master Ding was acting recklessly in Dingshan City, doing all kinds of bad things, making the world angry and people angry.

However, the Ding family is powerful. A few years ago, there was a young master who was included in the Great Immortal Sect. His power became even stronger. Even the city lord's palace turned a blind eye to him.

The young man suddenly remembered that he had sold firewood to the Ding family, and felt a little ashamed for a moment.

He stood there, looking at the helpless girl, and his heart was extremely complicated.

Over the years, he has been secretly paying attention to the affairs of this family. Although the latter is not rich and powerful, it is still warm and harmonious.Sometimes, through the dim light, he looked at their silhouettes reflected in the windows, as if he could see his father's life flowing through them.

But today, it came to an abrupt end.

For a moment, the young man felt empty in his heart.

After a while, the young man turned around and in silence delivered the heavy firewood to a restaurant he frequented, settled the money, and then returned to the city gate.

Passing by the place where the girl was kneeling, the boy also walked by with his head lowered.

When he was about to leave the city gate, the young man suddenly stopped and his eyebrows twisted into a knot.

After a long time, the young man sighed, turned around, and prepared to give the money from today's firewood sale to the girl to pay for her parents' funeral.

Although the money is not much and the effect is limited, if my mother knew about this, she would agree to do this.

When he turned around, he suddenly heard a familiar noise coming from behind.

He turned around and saw a group of people walking in from the city gate.

When he saw who it was, the young man's eyes suddenly burst into anger.

Mr. Ding Er!
"Wow..."

The citizens at the city gate exclaimed quietly and quickly made way for a wide road, for fear of hindering Young Master Ding.

Before, there was someone who avoided him, which made Ershao Ding uncomfortable and had one of his legs broken on the spot.

After that, the city residents shunned the places where Young Master Ding passed by like snakes and scorpions.

Ding Ershao was not ashamed, but proud.

Just like that.

He enjoyed the awe-inspiring looks of everyone and entered the city proudly.

Among the group of Young Master Ding, there was a servant with sharp eyes who saw the girl next to him.

The servant was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and said something in Young Master Ding's ear.

Then, Mr. Ding turned his head and looked at the girl.

The moment he saw the girl, Mr. Ding's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although Young Master Ding is a frequent visitor to Goulan and has met many women, they are all prostitutes.

It's rare to see such a delicate and charming girl in front of you.

Moreover, he should still be a baby, right?
At this thought, Young Master Ding's desire aroused.

Young Master Ding didn't know about the relationship between him and the girl. Racing horses in the city a few days ago was just one of his daily fun methods. He didn't even notice that he injured or killed someone, so how could he care about his death? People don’t even have a burial place?

All he knew was that he wanted to take the girl in front of him into the room and ravage her.

The boy stood far away, and only vaguely heard Ding Ershao talking.

"Sell yourself... and be buried...? Haha... How about... sleeping with me... waiting... when you're tired... I'll give you some money... how about?"

The boy looked at the girl with an expression that changed from sadness at first to confusion, and then to anger and fear when he came to his senses and recognized his enemy.

After listening to Er Shao Ding's words, the girl gritted her silver teeth. No matter what the other party said, she just stared at him with tears in her eyes.

Then, the young man saw that Young Master Ding seemed to be angry too. He heard that Young Master Ding's voice was much louder. This time, he heard it clearly.

"You bitch who doesn't know how to appreciate praise! Come here, tie her up with me and take her back to the house! I will undress her tonight!"

Hearing this, the boy's blood suddenly rushed to his head, and his face instantly turned red with anger.

At this moment, he didn't know whether he was angry because he felt sorry for the girl, or whether he was angry because his father's mark in the world had been tarnished.

He clenched his fists suddenly, as if he wanted to crush the silver in his hands.

The girl's parents died because of you, and her family was ruined.

Now that she has sold her body to bury her parents, you are still uttering obscene words in front of everyone, trying to taint her!

Mr. Ding Er!You are presumptuous!

Many of the city residents who were just watching the excitement clenched their fists unconsciously at this moment.

However, he reluctantly released his fist.

They are all ordinary people, how can they fight against this evil young man?

This feeling of powerlessness made them feel aggrieved, and they could only look at Mr. Ding angrily.

Seeing the evil servants of Ding Mansion rushing forward, the young man couldn't bear it any longer. He shouted angrily and jumped out of the crowd.

The boy had never practiced martial arts, but the strong figure he had gained by collecting firewood came into play at this time.

With brute strength, the young man quickly knocked down several evil servants and protected the girl.

He was panting like an angry bull guarding its cubs.

The girl looked at the boy in surprise. She felt that the latter's figure was familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

At this moment, she was grateful, but she bit her lips and looked at the boy's back worriedly.

When the passers-by onlookers saw someone coming out to rescue the girl, they all cheered loudly for him. While cheering, they also sweated for the young man.

With Er Shao Ding's bad character and arrogant and domineering behavior, this boy... I'm afraid it will be difficult.

Sure enough, everyone saw that Young Master Ding had a sinister look in his eyes, with deep anger hidden in it.

It was rare for Ding Er to see that someone dared to resist him, and he wished he could order his subordinates to beat the boy to death with sticks, and then press his head on the ground and crush him hard.

But today I only went out to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and I didn't take the experts from the house with me.

The young man's brute strength was astonishing, and the evil servants around him were no match for him.

Young Master Ding rolled his eyes, looking at the young man protecting the girl, he quickly had an idea in his mind.

He twitched the corner of his mouth and sneered at the young man: "Want to be a hero? I will obey your wishes and see if you have the courage to go all the way."

The young man glared and responded to him in a more direct way.

"Cough! Intuit!"

The boy spat at his feet.

Ding Ershao had blue veins on his forehead, suppressed his anger, and continued: "Today you beat my servant in Ding's house, and you must give an explanation. How dare you go back to the house with me? I don't make things difficult for you, I just send I'm going to fight you alone, and if you win, how about I let this matter go by the wayside and give this bitch a hundred taels of silver to bury her parents in a grand ceremony?"

The young man's anger has not dissipated, and he has just easily defeated the evil servant of the Ding family, which gave him some confidence. If they are all this kind of people, he will not be afraid no matter how many they come.

Furthermore, if she wins and gets a hundred taels of silver, the girl will not have to sell herself, and her troubles will be solved.

The young man didn't think much and agreed to Er Shao Ding's invitation to fight.

"Young man, please don't agree..."

"This is not going to Ding Mansion, this is going to the tiger's den!"

The onlookers suddenly started talking, trying to dissuade the young man.

Mr. Ding suddenly turned his head to look at the crowd, and the crowd's discussion suddenly stopped.

Ding Ershao snorted coldly, stretched out his hands to straighten his clothes, then turned around and headed towards Ding's residence.

Not to be outdone, the young man followed immediately.

The evil servants coerced the girl to go to Ding's house together.

Only a few of the onlookers followed him to see what was going on. Most of them didn't want to cause any more trouble. They just sighed, felt sorry for the boy, and prayed in their hearts that nothing would happen to him.

After arriving at the Ding Mansion, Er Shao Ding sent his evil servant to call for someone inside the manor. After a while, he brought a strong and muscular man.

Er Shao Ding said coldly to the big man: "Just now at the gate of the city, this blind bastard dared to rush into this young master and injured several people! Luo Liwu, give this young master a good 'teaching' to this bastard !”

The word "teaching" was said through gritted teeth. Luo Liwu immediately understood that he could only let the young man go out lying down today.

Luo Liwu looked at the young man and said, "Young man, don't blame the Sa family. If you do, blame yourself for not having eyes."

Seeing that the big man in front of him was so strong, the young man was still a little nervous, but the heroic spirit just now had not disappeared, not to mention that the girl was still being coerced by them.

He must not retreat.

Compared with brute force, he has the confidence to fight with anyone!
The young man strengthened his confidence and said: "Stop talking nonsense and come here."

A trace of ferocity flashed in Luo Liwu's eyes, and he rushed towards the young man.

When faced with evil servants who had also never learned martial arts, the young man could still defeat several of them with brute force.

But when facing a real martial arts master, the young man discovered that the gap between the two was far greater than he imagined.

Just a face-to-face.

The young man didn't even see how Luo Liwu punched, so he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Then, he fell weakly to the ground, blood pouring out of his mouth and nose uncontrollably.

……

……

The young man closed his eyes tightly, his life slowly passing by uncontrollably.

He had no time to think about what would have happened if he had not come forward at that time.

At this time, his mind was already filled with his mother and young brother.

They are still at home waiting for him to come back...

When I left home this morning, my mother's concerned eyes and my brother's hands waving excitedly were still vivid in my mind.

Without him, what would my mother and brother do?
"Mother...brother..."

With deep worry and strong unwillingness, after a few breaths, the young man's breathing slowly stopped.

His heart also stopped beating.

however.

Just when the boy died——

"Boom..."

"Dong dong..."

The young man's heart started beating even more powerfully the next moment after it stopped beating!
