I Am Xianfan

　　 In the stream valley under the iron cable cold bridge, several fishermen were waiting on bamboo rafts.

　　 Seeing the child fell into the water, they immediately picked up the struggling child, sent it to the shore, and returned it to his parents.

　　 His parents hurriedly changed the children's drenched clothes. The uncles in the family had already set up a fire next to the iron cable cold bridge to keep the children out of the cold, so as not to get sick from the cold.

　　 One after another, more than a dozen children plucked up the courage to get on the bridge. It is a pity that more than half of the children either fell into the water from the bridge, or were so scared that they were so scared that they did not dare to go to the bridge.

　　 There are unfortunate ones, and of course there are lucky ones. Two older, courageous, and vigorous twelve or thirteen-year-olds gritted their teeth and endured the cold, so that they could climb the chain bridge with enough strength to feed themselves.

　　 Especially Zhang Tieniu, the butcher’s son, often eats pigs with a lot of water and water, with thick arms and round waists, and quite strong.

　　 With a roar, he climbed onto the cold chain bridge, using his hands and feet together, he actually climbed over the cold bridge in one breath, attracting cheers from the people on the bank.

　　 Su Chen was stunned, Zhang Tieniu was too quick to climb, he was born a piece of martial arts material.

　　 "Tie Niu, great! Dad will cook one for you later, no, cook two pork legs to eat!"

　　 Butcher Zhang flushed with excitement and yelled.

　　 After crossing the chain bridge, he is the outer disciple of the Medicine King Gang. From now on, his son Zhang Tufu will no longer be a lowly butcher kid, and finally becomes the outer disciple of the Medicine King Gang, and he will develop in the future.

　　On the other side of the chain bridge, there are a few white-clothed boys of the Yaowang Gang, who took the children who had crossed the chain bridge and entered the Yaowang Villa.

　　 Su Chen looked excited and shocked.

　　 I want to climb this cold chain bridge. It is difficult to say, and easy to say.

　　 As long as you are as strong as Zhang Tieniu, plus be careful, you will have the opportunity to climb over and become an outer disciple of the Yaowang Gang.

　　 Although Su Chen is thin, he is not as strong and burly as Zhang Tieniu. But he has been doing heavy work since he was a child, often going up trees to dig out bird nests, diving in rivers to fish, he is vigorous and flexible, and has rich climbing experience.

　　 The only worry is that he doesn't have any adults in his family to come with him. If he stumbles and falls into the river, he will get soaked, without clothes to change, no fire to keep warm, and he will freeze half of his life if he doesn't die.

　　 So there is only one chance, this time I must pass it. Once it fails, there will be no chance to try the Wang Gang again next year. It is difficult for me to find a job in Gusu County, but I don't know if I can survive until this time next year.

　　 Su Chen thought hard about countermeasures, suddenly raised his head to look at the sun in the sky.

　　 The cold winter sun rises later. At noon, the sun is the warmest, and freezing hands and feet can be avoided at that time. The iron cable will be warmer after being exposed to the sun for a long time.

　　 He had cares in his mind, so he settled down.

　　 walked a lot and became hungry and exhausted easily. He simply found a clean stone to sit and rest under the big tree near the iron cable cold bridge to minimize his energy consumption.

　　 Su Chen waited all morning.

　　 In the two or three hours in the morning, nearly fifty or sixty children tried to cross the cable bridge, but only a dozen children managed to climb over.

　　 Most of the children who are too weak are eliminated, and the elimination rate is very high. Even many young and timid children don't dare to go on the bridge at all, even if they are beaten and scolded by adults, they will not go up to death.

　　 At midday, when the sun was the hottest in the sky, most of the ice on the iron ropes melted silently.

　　 At this time, the crowd of people gathered at the top of the chain bridge became very scarce. The children who had the courage to cross the bridge had long tried to go on the bridge, and the children who had not dared to cross the bridge had long been taken away by the disappointed adults.

　　 Less than one-fifth of the teenagers who can pass this cold chain bridge, or even fewer.

　　 Su Chen looked at the sun from time to time.

　　 The chain has been exposed to the sun for an afternoon, so it shouldn’t be too cold.

He didn't dare to wait any longer, took out three large coarse-grain steamed buns from his arms, ate his fill, and held a sip of water in the stream under the bridge, and only drank his belly when it was warm in his mouth. He rested for a while to nourish his feet. Has lost his strength.

　　 Su Chen moved his hands and feet a bit, and then he began to try to cross this cold chain bridge.

　　 Can the King of Medicine help find a livelihood and fight for a future? I will fight with all my strength in this!

　　 Su Chen's small hand cautiously held one of the thick-armed chains, and in an instant, his palm felt the coldness of the chains, which was frozen into the bones.

　　 The iron cable has been exposed to the sun for most of the day, and it is still so cold!

　　 Su Chen's palm trembled from the cold, was taken aback, and quickly let go.

　　 It's no wonder that so many children can't climb over, the iron rope is too cold. Holding the chain with bare hands in this way, the palm of his hand would soon be frozen and unconscious, and finally unable to grasp it, and fell into the valley with his hand.

　　 Su Chen thought for a while, tore off two pieces of rags from the corners of his clothes, wrapped them around two small hands, wrapped them in a layer, and tied them tightly to prevent freezing.

　　 The linen cloth should not be wrapped too thick, otherwise the fingers will not feel, it will slip easily and the grasp will be unstable.

　　 But it should not be too thin, otherwise it will not be able to withstand the intrusion of cold air.

　　 Then, he grabbed the chain with both hands again, using both hands and feet, and began to climb the cold chain.

　　 Su Chen grasped the icy iron cord with both hands, shivering with cold. But fortunately, most of the frosty air on the iron cable has been melted by the sun, and it is not so slippery.

　　The longer you stay, the easier it is to get frostbite and become numb. Once the hands and feet become numb, falling into the water is almost certain.

　　 Su Chen gritted his teeth, did not dare to delay the slightest delay, and climbed forward quickly with his hands and feet.

　　 climbed more than ten feet away, halfway through, his arms were already shaking slightly, and he felt very strenuous.

　　 If it hadn’t been for him to have eaten three large whole-grain buns just now, feed his stomach, and nourish his energy, otherwise, I’m afraid he would have fallen into the river long ago.

　　 Su Chen was very worried. He was afraid that he would fall into the river accidentally and devote himself to the dream of the Yaowang Gang rushing through the rivers and lakes, but he was ruined on this iron cable cold bridge, and falling down the river, he must be frozen to death.

Su Chen eagerly thought of an idea, hurriedly wrapped his legs around the chain, and then untied himself with the hemp rope of his sleepy trouser waist, tied one end to his waist, and the other end made a trap on the chain, in case he missed it. It can be hung on the iron chain with hemp rope and will not fall into the river.

　　 The four Tsing Yi Swordsmen guarding the entrance of the chain bridge stood for most of the day. They were already exhausted. They were sitting on the chain bridge and chatting, and did not go to see Su Chen.

　　 There was a chain bridge that was only twenty feet away, almost exhausting all of Su Chen's physical strength, and finally climbed to the other side.

　　 Su Chen was already exhausted, and barely stepped onto the other side of the bridge, his hands and feet almost vacant.

　　 Su Chen hurriedly untied the hemp rope tied to the iron chain, so as not to be discovered by the guardians, maybe disqualified him, or punished him to climb again.

　　 His energy has been exhausted, and if he is fined to climb again, he will definitely not have a chance to enter the Medicine King Villa.

　　 Su Chen walked along the hundreds of steps in front of the mountain gate with a guilty conscience and entered Yaowang Mountain Villa.

　　 A white-clothed young man standing on the stone steps, holding a sword in both hands, gave him a cold look, and said nothing, and led him to a courtyard with an earth wall.

　　 The white-clothed young man instructed Su Chen to ask Su Chen and all the young people to stay in this yard not to run around. They waited here for tomorrow's Medicine King to help the new entry disciples to divide the entrance of the hall, and then left by themselves.

　　...

　　 At the gate of this compound, there are also two young swordsmen guarding the courtyard. The wall is high and the courtyard is deep, and people who are waiting for leisure can't get in and out.

　　 "One more!"

　　 "It's not just the stuffed buns from any village, it's really shabby looking at the tattered linen he wears!"

　　 Many children and teenagers gathered in the compound. Seeing Su Chen dressed up as a small fisherman, they couldn't help laughing.

　　 Su Chen returned to his senses and looked inside the compound. Only then was he surprised to find that nearly a hundred teenagers had gathered in this large yard, all of whom had passed the test of the iron cable cold bridge and entered the new disciples of the Medicine King Gang.

　　 The children in the big yard gathered together in groups of three and five, and they looked extremely excited.

　　 Su Chen ignored the ridicule and didn't want to be troublesome. He lowered his head and stayed in a quiet corner of the courtyard, carefully looking at the children in the courtyard.

　　 All the teenagers are between the ages of nine and thirteen. From their clothes and appearance, it is obvious that they are of different origins, and they are divided into several distinct groups.

　　 Among them, ten teenagers and girls wearing gorgeous silk clothes, mink fur coats, and soap leather boots under their feet have outstanding temperament and arrogant expressions. They dismissed the other civilians from Gusu County and the children in the township in the courtyard.

　　 They seem to be the richest households in the county town, or the children of the powerful.

　　 Su Chen was surprised to see that one of the delicate girls in thick fur was the daughter of the wealthy Li businessman he met at Ximen Wharf, who seemed to be called Li Jiao.

　　 With Li Jiao's delicate body and bones, without the power to bind a chicken, he must be unable to climb the cold chain bridge. I'm afraid that her father thought of other ways and sent her to Yaowang Villa.

　　 The children in some other county towns around are also whispering in low voices, talking about these young people who are rich or noble, have a background, and have a close relationship with the high-level members of the Yaowang Gang.

"That is Wang Fugui, the young master of the Wang family! I heard that he is a relative of the magistrate of the county magistrate, and cousins ​​with the magistrate of the county magistrate. In our county seat, he is second to none of the noble children! He will definitely become an inner disciple and a member of the Yaowang Gang Core disciple!"

　　 "Yes, there is also Wei Han, a relative of the hall master of the gang, and it is said that he is also the default inner disciple!"

　　 "That's Li Jiao, the eldest lady of the Li's rice shop in the city! Although she is not a rich man, she has several rice shops in her family, a rich family! I don't know how much money her father brought in to send her in."

　　 "These people should be inner disciples, rich and powerful, much better than our outer disciples! Everyone should know each other, don't offend them, otherwise they won't be able to eat in the gang!"

　　 Wang Fugui greeted the new entry-level civilian teenagers in a generous manner, and enjoyed the kindness of the teenagers very much.

　　 Wei Han put his arms around his chest, his face arrogantly cold, and no one paid any attention.

　　 Around these ten Chinese-clothed teenagers and girls, there are some civilian children in the county town.

　　 Most of these children are wearing ordinary clothes. Although they are not very old, they have already learned how to become inflamed and watch their words and colors.

　　 Zhang Tieniu, the fat son of Butcher Zhang, was also mixed in, because he was five big and thick, and he looked like a foolish head, but he seemed to be quite mixed among the common people.

People like Young Master Wang Fugui and Young Master Wei Han basically appointed inner disciples of the Yaowang Gang, and they are undoubtedly the most sought after by other civilian children. They want to get familiar with each other when they just started. relationship.

　　 The last ones are the poor children from dozens of villages and villages around the county town. Most of them are the children of day-tenant tenants, fishermen, hunters, and peasant woodcutter.

　　 They don't even have the qualifications to become a leader. They are squeezed out in the outermost part of the large courtyard. They are bullied and swallowed, and they don't dare to cause trouble.

　　 Su Chen was naturally one of them, so he consciously hid in the corner of the compound to rest, regaining his strength, and did not squeeze the crowd to make himself boring.

　　 He looked at the young people in the compound, learning from the adults, talking about relationships, and didn't understand what inner disciple and outer disciple were. He found it boring. He stayed alone in the courtyard, thinking about his thoughts.

　　He ran away from home and had no work to do in the county seat, so he thought about coming to the King of Medicine Gang, just to find a good way out.

　　 Naturally, I don’t care about the inner disciples and outer disciples. As long as I can have a bite of food in the Yaowang Gang, I don’t want to please anyone.

　　 In the afternoon, several more children were sent into this compound one after another. A total of more than one hundred children and teenagers over ten years old gathered in the compound.

　　 In the evening, the gate of Yaowang Villa was closed, and the recruitment of new disciples for the twelfth lunar month of this year was closed. If you want to enter the Yaowang Gang, you can only wait next year.

　　 At dinner, several chefs in the villa brought dozens of barrels of rice porridge, steamed buns, and pickles.

　　 "Come, eat!"

　　 "The food is a little bit close, so let's just eat it. When you enter the door tomorrow, you will be able to open a small stove after you worship Master."

　　 These dozen or so buckets of rice porridge were eaten, and they were soon coaxed on by more than a hundred young people who had been hungry for a long time, and they were divided up cleanly.

　　 It took a lot of effort for Su Chen to squeeze to the front, desperately grabbing two large coarse-grain steamed buns.

　　 Then he went back to his corner, chewed a little bit slowly, and ate all the coarse skins, and finally satiated his stomach and relieved the hunger.

　　 He was stunned to discover that the ten young masters were standing far away in disgust, and didn't want to touch the rice porridge.

Su Chen was surprised that the young master Wang Fugui actually took a sum of silver to bribe the cook, but the cook smiled openly and opened a small stove alone to make them a hearty meal. The chicken, duck and fish meat was fragrant. It's all over the yard.

　　 The rest of the children were shocked, only envious. UU reading www. These inner disciples at uukanshu.com are rich and powerful at home, and they won’t suffer anywhere.

　　...

　　 It was very cold in the middle of the night.

　　 There are guest rooms and heated kangs in the big yard, but the number is limited.

　　 The young masters and young ladies of the ten quasi-inner disciples naturally sleep on the warmest kang, and no one dares to fight with them.

　　 Even so, the young masters are still complaining.

　　 "The food here is terrible, similar to pig food."

　　 "There is no decent bedroom, clean bathtub, or silk bedding. There are so many fleas. I had known that we should let the maids and maids bring a few clean beddings from home."

　　 "When you formally apprehend the teacher, you must live alone, otherwise you can't stay!"

　　 They had finished occupying them, and the remaining few Kangtou were occupied by other relatively powerful civilian youths in the county.

　　 The majority of the remaining children cannot sleep on the hot kang, so they can only spread straw mats on the ground and squeeze them warm. There are more people squeezed, but it's still warm.

　　 Su Chen shrank himself on the straw mat on the ground, getting used to the freezing of the old fishing boat at home, but he didn't feel bitter.

　　 is a little bit of joy and excitement, unable to sleep.

　　 There are many young people in this compound, and they are noisy at night, full of joyful atmosphere.

　　 After entering the Yaowang Villa, these young people are no longer the children of the ordinary people in Gusu County, but have become disciples of the Yaowang Gang. Since then, they have no worries about food and clothing and embarked on the coveted road to the world.

　　 Su Chen also felt at ease, very satisfied.

At least after joining the gang, I don’t need to fill my stomach for three meal mats a day, or worry about finding a room that won’t suffer from the cold, and I am no longer afraid of being bullied by those poppies and beggars in the county. It's much better than before in the county.
