Chapter Eleven Thoughts
The next morning, next to the official road, there were old and young people sitting in a small pavilion.
The young man was eleven or twelve years old, with a dirt face, and looked down with his head, making him feel very depressed. The old Mumu was dumb, looking into the distance, with almost no expression. He was holding a pot of flowers and plants in his hand.
I left the inn last night and walked all night in a daze. I didn't know which direction to go. It was not until the sky was clear that Mr. Shui put Meng Shuai in the pavilion next to the road. The two of them didn't know what to do.
Seeing that the sun was getting harder and the sun was getting bigger and bigger, and sweat gradually emerged from Meng Shuai's head, Shui Lao said, "It's time for you to go home."
Meng Shuai nodded silently. Before yesterday, the two were just ordinary teacher-student relationships. He stopped Xiong Shuo from harming Shui Lao, more out of righteous indignation. However, after a adventure last night, although he did not communicate much, he was already very close to Mr. Shuo, and treated him as an elder.
After hesitating for a moment, Meng Shuai said, "Teacher, what will you do in the future? The gold and silver bags are left in the inn, how will you live in the future?"
Shui Laomu's eyes moved slightly, and he reached into his arms. When he took it out, he had already grabbed a handful of gold, and there were four or five small gold ingots. In this chaotic era, gold was precious and silver was cheap, and twenty taels of gold was worth a thousand taels of silver, which was more than enough to support an old man. Then he heard Shui Lao said, "I grabbed a handful of gold before leaving."
Meng Shuai was speechless for a while, and then said, "The war is in chaos, you can live in the big city. A big city like Yinning Mansion in Ganzhou is safer."
Old Shui nodded and looked at the sky with his eyes.
He heard the sound of hooves on the official road, and a big cart drove by. Old Shui stood up, rushed to the official road and stopped him, saying, "Wait a minute."
The big car was a two-horse car, which was tightly tightly with a black cloth curtain. Unexpectedly, the old man was so surprised that the water came to old age. He pulled the reins and shouted, "What are you doing?"
Meng Shuai hurried over and saw Old Shui said, "Can you take a handlebar??"
Before the driver could speak, someone in the car said, "Where did the old man come from? How dare he block the road? Do you know whose car this is?"
As he said that, he raised the curtain of the car, an old woman in black with silver hair poked her head out, her face full of arrogance, and her eyes swept, as if it were the essence, making people feel uncomfortable.
Meng Shuai couldn't let Mr. Shui come forward and said, "What are you shouting? How can I know which car you are from if you don't tell me?"
The old woman in black closed her hair and said, "Boy, letting you scare you crazy when she said it. Do you know..." Just as she was about to blurt out, her face suddenly changed slightly, and she sneered: "Boy, how can you know the name of our family? Want to blind your heart. Let's go--" With a shout, she grabbed the whip in the handlebar-style hand, and swung it in the air. The two horses walked forward happily, and a piece of dust rose up, covering the two old and young faces.
Meng Shuai wiped his face, spat, and said, "What kind of bird man, it seems that anyone knows who she is." After a while, he said, "There should be someone in the car."
Mr. Shui said: "Well, there are three more. I heard three breaths."
Meng Shuai nodded and said, "Damn it, I want to know which company she is, how can I break it?"
The water was far away from being as bored as Meng Shuai, so he couldn't stop the car and his eyes continued to look up the official road.
The carriage was walking on the official road, with one hand lifting the curtain, and a female voice said, "Ma Xue, you are too impatient. We are doing important things now. Why do we have to slap teeth with irrelevant people? We just stopped and we shouldn't have been facing others. Isn't that leaving clues for people?"
The old woman in black, Xue Ma, said, "What the lady taught is - do you want the old slave to silence me?"
The lady said lightly: "Forget it, I don't have time now. But the old and the young... I saw them yesterday."
The old woman in black was stunned and said, "Is that so? Where?"
The lady said, "In the inn. Mom Xue, you are not here. I saw that foolish people when I led the inn to the inn. Later, I left. I only knew that fools were burned and killed in the inn. Sure enough, fools were fools. He didn't know that there were still words of kings and law here. At that time, he said that everyone in the inn was dead, but he didn't expect that these two young and old could survive. You must know that fools are not very smart enough and have some ruthlessness. If you can survive in his hands, you will have some magical skills."
The old and the young continue to wait on the official road.
It was also the luck of the two of them. After a while, another big cart came over. The car was just an ordinary mule cart. It was a handlebar and drove the mule alone, pulling an empty cart on the official road. When they arrived next to them, they stopped for a moment.
Mr. Shui greeted him and said, "Handle-style, where are you going?"
The person who drove the car saw the old and the young man standing by the roadside, knew that he was going to take the car. He smiled and said, "I'm unloading the goods and going to the ferry. What's wrong?"
Mr. Shui said: "Send this child back to Gualingdu, will you go?"
Meng Shuai hurriedly said, "Let's wait, I'll take him to Shatuokou first."
Old Shui shook his head and said, "You are a child, you go first."
Meng Shuai refused and said in a handlebar: "Guolingdu will go along the way, ten big sons will pull you over. Shatuokou will not go."
The veteran Shui general Meng Shuai pushed the car into the car. Meng Shuai had no choice but to get into the car. He knew that the car had moved and he parted with Mr. Shui. It was difficult to see each other again, and a feeling of sadness surged in his heart.
Suddenly, he remembered something and shouted: "Let's wait." He jumped out of the car and grabbed Mr. Shui's hand.
In his hand, there is the last crystal fruit.
Today, he will not hesitate anymore.
With his fingers moved, he secretly released the last crystal fruit, and saw a blue light penetrated into Shui Lao's body. Meng Shuai stared at Shui Lao's eyes nervously.
He hopes that a miracle will appear at the last moment, just like in countless TV series or novels, when Mr. Shui wakes up and the story can be continued.
pity……
The miracle still didn't happen.
Shui Laomu's eyes were so stiff that they were always so stiff. He just patted his back and said, "Let's go. There will be a time later."
Meng Shuai's nose felt sore and he bowed, "Take care." He turned over and crawled back to the car, and said, "Go."
The cart slowly moved forward, Meng Shuai lifted the curtain and kept turning back, and saw Old Shui standing by the roadside, with his thin figure standing alone on the official road, looking particularly bleak.
The mule cart was jogging forward, Meng Shuai leaned against the carriage and was drowsy. Suddenly the carriage bumped, and his head hit the wall, and he stood up and said, "Where have you been?"
The person who drove the car smiled and said, "I will be there in a while. I have already seen the town."
Meng Shuai picked up the car curtain and saw the dock looking away from afar, and said, "I finally arrived."
Just then, the sound of the wind suddenly rose!
A shadow fell from the sky, landing on the shaft of the car like a feather, and said lightly: "Get out!"
Meng Shuai suddenly looked up, and at first glance, an energetic old man stared at him with bright eyes. He didn't recognize him. When he looked carefully, he shouted in surprise: "Shui...teacher?"
The old man was Shui Lao, but his spirit was refreshed and his spirit was soaring that he was not as dull as before?
Meng Shuai was still stunned. Old Shui raised him with one hand and threw out a piece of gold with the other hand, saying, "I took this kid away. Don't mention a word to others, otherwise you will have to have your head." His body lightened and he floated out of thin air.
The handlebar style was stunned. After a while, he ate and said, "Living...Living immortal!"
Meng Shuai was taken by Shui Lao to fly in the sky for a long time. He only felt the sound of wind blowing, but he didn't feel the wind blowing very hard, as if there was a windshield in front of him.
The scenery on both sides flew past, faster than the train, and the scenery under your feet became smaller and smaller, and gradually layers of white mist appeared around you.
"This is coming to the cloud."
Meng Shuai was a person who had been on a plane after all. He could not shout at things like Feitian, which was too sorry for his identity as a time traveler.
Gripping his teeth tightly, he began to pay attention to the scenery under his feet. The green mountains and yellow waters half-covered by the floating clouds were magnificent.
After a long time, Shui Lao pulled him and slowly landed on the edge of the river. The roaring river water rushed past his side, and the cold wind on the river surface blew over him.
Mr. Shui looked at him and said, "It's great. It's the first time I went to heaven, and I'm not afraid at all."
Haha, my legs were so scared that I almost sat on the ground and I would tell you?
Meng Shuai looked back at Shui Lao and was shocked. When Shui Lao fell from the sky just now, although he was energetic, he also had white hair and white beards, and looked like an old man. But when he looked at it again, not only did the wrinkles on his face fade away, but his hair became half-black and half-year-old, and he looked at it for only about fifty people. Such a reversal growth is really against the will of heaven!
However, there were too many changes on Mr. Shui's body, and it was not bad for one or two. Meng Shuai temporarily suppressed his doubts and asked, and said, "Teacher, are you getting well?"
Shui Lao laughed and said, "It's not that easy to say it's all good, but there's always a good thing. Since you have taken the first step, things will not be troublesome in the future."
Meng Shuai secretly wondered in his heart - was it the effect of his own crystal fruits? If you say no, you must not explain that Mr. Shui suddenly became sober, but if you say yes, there was no sign when he left. Could it be that the effect of this thing has a latent period?
But no matter what, usefulness is a good thing. He paid all his property and finally achieved results.
However, as soon as my memory is restored, Mr. Shui burst into various incredible states. What is the principle?
Meng Shuai asked curiously: "Teacher, was that martial arts just now? Is it lightness? "
Mr. Shui said, "It's not considered martial arts, but it's also out of the category of light skills. But if you want to fly freely, you have to learn martial arts well." He looked down at Meng Shuai, with a hint of pity in his eyes, and sighed, "It's just that the qualifications are a little worse."
Meng Shuai naturally knew that his qualifications were a little worse, but as a time traveler, he didn't care about the qualification determinism and said: "If you are not a genius, do you have no hope of learning martial arts well?"
Shui Lao smiled and said, "Genius is indeed a talent that is favored by heaven and earth, but no matter how much heaven and earth like it, it will be in vain if I don't like it. If the heaven and earth like anyone I like, then what's the point of living? I just like you, a child? Come on, would you like me as your teacher?"
Meng Shuai was overjoyed and said, "Of course I do." But he was a modern person after all, and it was not easy to kneel down and kowtow to call his master. Before he could react, Mr. Shui had already grabbed him and said, "Come on, talk while walking."
I just flew, and I don’t know how far I walked, but seeing that the scenery around me was still outside the mouth, I thought I was still in Liangzhou. Shui Lao took him along the road and said as he walked: "I am the teacher's surname is Shui. His two names are Sigui."
Meng Shuai nodded, saying that is good to call Shui Lao.
Mr. Shui continued: "I am not a person here, I come from a very far place, and that place is not something that outsiders can enter. Even if you join me, you will not be able to go there for a short time. I have to stay here to teach you. Although it is not long, there is always a three or five-year fate of master and apprenticeship."
Meng Shuai said: "You have someone in your family? If you haven't returned for such a long time, aren't your family in a hurry?"
Mr. Shui said: "There is no one. That place...hehe, that place is desolate and dangerous. If it is not the responsibility, I don't like to go back. If you succeed in practicing in the future, you might have a chance... Well, since you have to teach you a few years, let's find a house to live in first."
Meng Shuai said: "Why go to my house..." As soon as he left, he regretted it. That place was not his house. Zhong Shaoxuan was fine. Will Lao Zhong welcome another old man? How could he be qualified to arrange the residence of Mr. Shui?
Mr. Shui said lightly: "I don't want to go back to Gualingdu. But it seems that it's not good to let you get too far away from home. Let's go to Shatuokou to find a house. You move here for two years and go home again."
Meng Shuai said: "Okay." Because Old Man Zhong opposed it, Zhong Shaoxuan could not hand over the excellent martial arts he passed down from his family. He had known that he would definitely go outside to learn martial arts. It would be better to be able to learn martial arts from an almost fantasy expert like Mr. Shui.
Mr. Shui suddenly said, "But one thing is difficult. We have to find a house in Shatuokou. Our money is not enough."
Meng Shuai was stunned and said, "Although I don't understand the market price, I now rent a big house with a yard, which is only a few dozen taels a year, and I have rented a piece of gold for a few years."
Old Shui frowned and said, "What are you renting? You want to buy it."
Meng Shuai said, "Ah?" and said, "You have only lived there for two years..."
Mr. Shui ignored what he asked and said to himself: "Shatuokou is densely populated and is a military center. It's too much of a deal to grab a house, right? Isn't it?"
Meng Shuai's mouth twitched and said, "Yes."
Mr. Shui nodded and said, "So we have to buy it. We have to practice martial arts, of course we have to buy a large yard that can run horses. In order to concentrate on practicing martial arts, we have to hire people to do many chores. When you are growing up, you have to practice martial arts and nourish your health. The food should not be too bad, let alone weapons, horses, clothes and medicines, and everything costs money, right?"
Meng Shuai said "Yeah, um" twice, and Old Shui said: "It seems that this money is not enough. Such expensive things as martial arts practice are not enough without a thousand taels of gold."
Meng Shuai grinned and thought to himself: I have practiced martial arts for three years in this body, and I have not spent 50 taels of silver in total. As soon as you open your mouth, you will find a thousand taels of gold. How can this be calculated?
