Chapter 10, Visiting the Hero

Wang Xiaoxiao hurriedly stopped to greet and ask for directions: "Auntie, do you know where the residence of Wang Daxia is?"

Which scoundrel has bullied our hero? With a loud shout, Hero's mother rushed out of the house quickly, brandishing a broom

She quickly widened her eyes and looked around for a wine shop

One

The uncle proudly finished speaking and pointed to the left: "Follow this main road, cross over that hill, and you will find a small village. Then, just continue along the main road at the west entrance of the village, cross over two more hills, and walk two more miles forward, and you will come to another village. After that, ask around for the whereabouts of Wang Daxia, and you will find out."

How fortunate, he lives right next door to my house

Wine

Then, the great hero Wang... ...

The kind-hearted woman looked up at the bag on her shoulder and immediately smiled benevolently: "It must be rice being delivered to his family. Why is it that every time a new disciple is sent? Dozens of people have asked me this before..."

With a thud, the sack of rice slipped from his shoulder to the ground

Because every month, it is the new disciples who come to ask for directions, and only the newcomers are willing to take on this task

Wow—daughter, come quickly—

Although the sparrow is small, it has all the vital organs. In such a shabby and tiny shed, there are surprisingly two tables, eight benches, several jars of wine, and a small stove. The owner, who appears to be in his forties, has a face that shines with a yellow hue and is sitting beside the shed, basking in the sun and dozing off.

Oh, the ascetic sage beyond the world

The child shook his head: "No."

Wang Xiaoxiao signaled with a bag: "Sister is delivering rice to his home."

Seeing that she had not responded for a long time, the kind-hearted uncle picked up the bag for her and sighed sympathetically: "Are you delivering rice, young lady? You should leave quickly; if you delay any longer, it will be dark and you won't be able to return."

Crossing over a mountain

Alright, alright, the task is complete, and I will finally meet the legendary senior! Wang Xiaoxiao is finally invigorated

The.

pavement

So where does he live

The child looked up and saw a stranger, blinked his eyes, and asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"

Seeing her with a fierce and menacing demeanor, as if she had an impulse to murder children, the hero pouted and cried

The rice bag fell to the ground with a "thud"

You are not deceiving me, are you

The journey clearly indicates that the village is quite isolated and underdeveloped, with most houses made of mud walls and thatched roofs, ancient yet simple. A woman in her forties is washing vegetables under a small stone bridge

I am so tired

The uncle, full of vitality, jumped up and said: "Is this the little shop? Does the young lady want to buy some liquor?"

Is he really the great hero Wang? Wang Xiaoxiao was taken aback and quickly retracted the hand that had offended the hero. Filled with doubt, surprise, and admiration, she could not believe that this great hero Wang was actually a child. At such a young age, he had already become a hero. Truly, one cannot judge a person by their appearance; it is remarkable!

Wang Xiaoxiao hurried over to greet him, and upon seeing a beautiful girl, the boss was in quite a good mood.

The child exclaimed: "My name is indeed Wang Daxia... It was given to me by my mother, and next door there is also Xiao Sanxia..."

It's dark and I can't make it back! Wang Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, her lips twitching: "Thank you, uncle"

The sun rises higher and higher, illuminating the earth brightly. Coupled with a good mood, the solid road beneath my feet suddenly appears exceptionally wide and bright. From time to time, horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians pass by. Wang Xiaoxiao carries a bag, striding swiftly and eagerly heading down the avenue towards the mountain.

Yes, how did you know

The young girl must be a new disciple of the Huashan School, right

Walk, walk, walk...

Upon reaching the west of the village, the buildings appeared even more dilapidated. Only a few low mud walls were visible, and several old hens were lazily perched on the wall basking in the sun. Upon noticing the arrival of someone, they merely clucked a couple of times, showing no further interest.

Wang Xiaoxiao lunged forward and grabbed his collar, shaking him while gritting her teeth and shouting: "You... how can you call yourself Wang the Hero, how can you call yourself Wang the Hero!"

Little did they know that it was better not to mention it; upon hearing the words "Wang Daxia," the uncle reacted even more strongly, his spirit became more invigorated, and the expression on his face became more animated, with his eyes shining brightly as he looked at her

Is it your father

What? Could it be that this hero Wang is a woman? Wang Xiaoxiao quickly reacted, reaching out to touch the child's head, and putting on a warm smile: "Little friend, is the hero Wang your mother, uh, is she your mom?"

The child said with a smile: "It's me."

The best wine shop in the world

"Still the Little Three Gorges," Wang Xiaoxiao finally started cursing again, "I've been to the Little Three Gorges long ago!"

The child innocently blinked and said: "No, my father's name is Wang Xiaoqi"

Tian? Wang Xiaoxiao walked while pondering, and then she immediately saw the next large character: "Xia."

Walk on, walk on

Little did I know that admiring the hero's demeanor would not be so easy! Wang Xiaoxiao is at a loss for words, and this dead Yin Hao, no wonder he is unwilling to give directions in person. I guess the newcomers of the Huashan Sect have all fallen for this trick, just look at how this uncle has gained experience from being asked for directions.

A small bridge, flowing water, and a household

Stunned for a moment, she quickly forced a smile and said, "No, no, I am just asking for directions. Do you happen to know where the residence of the great hero Wang is?"

Wang Daxia curiously glanced at her, and seeing no response, turned around and left: "I will go call mother..."

Fear surged within her, prompting her to quicken her pace

Excuse me, how far is the world's number one wine shop?

This is it! Wang Xiaoxiao was greatly impressed. Although these characters are in traditional form and somewhat altered, they can still be deciphered with some effort. Just look at this grandeur; it truly is the best wine shop in the world. Even the ancients understood the value of advertising. The sign is indeed eye-catching, and the competitiveness is undoubtedly strong

By the time I finished reading each character one by one, a minute had already passed

The child understood and said: "Then wait a moment, I will go call my mother"

Of course, we must send new disciples! Wang Xiaoxiao clenched her fist

Of course, I would never lie," the child said proudly, puffing out his chest. "My surname is Wang, and my name is Daxia. Isn't it impressive?

Wang Xiaoxiao suppressed her inner excitement and quickly followed the aunt, constantly looking around. Peering through a gap in the wall, she saw that the yard was cluttered with clothes hanging haphazardly in all directions.

As she walked, glancing around, Wang Xiaoxiao finally spotted a small dilapidated shed under a bare old tree ten meters ahead.

No wonder Xiao Ye said there is no need to run today

It is strange, why is there only a sign and no store?

Is this really the best wine shop in the world? Wang Xiaoxiao was stunned, finally understanding that the exaggeration in advertising is indeed unparalleled, and also comprehending why the country needs to combat false advertising

In the distance, one could see a white banner on the right side of the road. Although it was very old and tattered, it was immensely large and extraordinarily long, estimated to be longer than several buses combined. Looking around, one could only see a magnificent black character—"Heaven".

The aunt chuckled and said, "This is the courtyard of the great hero Wang's house, you may enter by yourself."

As I walked into the courtyard, I raised my eyes and saw a child of about ten years old sitting on the stone steps in front of the door, playing with a strip of bamboo.

By the time they reached their destination, it was already around 3 PM. Although Wang Xiaoxiao was both exhausted and hungry, and her shoulders were painfully sore from the weight, she dared not delay even a moment. What if they couldn't return before nightfall? Would they have to spend the night on the mountain? ... No, this is the wilderness; what if they encountered bandits? Look at these mountains, which have clearly not been developed by anyone; there might even be wild beasts...

Wang Xiaoxiao inquired: "Is Master Wang here?"

After crossing two more mountains

Silence
