Chapter 46: Near Nostalgia
Martial arts training ground.
"Junior Brother Chang Hao, are you here to wait for me?" Chang Le looked at Chang Hao who was leaning against the wall and asked.
"Well, I wonder what Master has sent that boy to do this time?" Chang Hao didn't look back, but looked at the young man who was sweating profusely on the court, polishing his body and tempering his will, and said lightly, having no idea what Zhou Yu was talking about.
Half respect.
"I don't know the specific reason. I only know that there is a letter, asking Brother Zhou to send it to Uncle Feng in Jiangling." After Chang Le finished speaking, he frowned slightly when he saw Chang Hao was silent.
"Junior brother, are you harboring resentment because your master has done too much for Senior Brother Zhou this time?"
"Senior brother, is this how you look at me?" Chang Hao turned around and looked at Chang Le, with some displeasure in his eyes.
"We have known each other since childhood, but you have been fighting with each other since the day we met Senior Brother Zhou. Even after Senior Brother Zhou entered our sect, you never let go..." Chang Le said this and looked at Chang Hao solemnly.
, whispered.
"Senior Brother Zhou Bingcheng had the wisdom of his previous life. Although he may have suffered setbacks within the sect, the fact that he came down from the mountain this time, first fought against Taoist Heiyun, and then killed the black green python in Lishui, shows that he has great opportunities."
"This is not a coincidence, and it is not something that can be replaced by someone else... Junior brother, my way is to be upright. Even if the master sometimes thinks that I don't know how to change, it is against my true intention to look for other people to change before I have achieved the right path.
"
"Your way may be to fight, but don't let this blind you." Chang Le warned.
"Humph, he is just a person who can't survive in this sect. Will I fight with him?" Chang Hao crossed his arms and snorted coldly.
"Senior brother, you underestimate me too much. When I step into this sect and flatten the so-called true inheritance, you will see who is fighting with whom." After saying that, Chang Hao turned around and climbed over the wall.
"This is the tsundere that Senior Brother Zhou once said." Chang Le was stunned, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly, and he whispered.
…
"We're finally here." Three days later, Zhou Yu looked at the big city in the distance and felt excited in his heart.
Wu'an County is the center of eighteen villages and towns within a radius of thirty miles. It is said to be a county, but its actual territory is comparable to a city, so Wu'an County is built extremely tall.
This is his home in this world.
"Six years have passed and I don't know if my grandpa, father and mother are well." The light fell from a remote place on a hillside. Zhou Yu looked at the people coming and going in the distance, and couldn't help but feel a hint of nostalgia in his heart.
"Sure enough, just like before, every September during the Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be this magnificent market tide." Zhou Yu did not deliberately jump in the queue, but stood in line honestly among the crowd.
He could have walked directly to the city gate, announced his identity, and waited for his family to pick him up, but in that case, based on his family's status in the city, he was afraid that it would cause a huge noise.
Nowadays, there are too many people at the city gate, which will cause unnecessary accidents, but it is not beautiful.
Besides, I haven’t seen such a crowd of people in a long time, so it’s time to blend in.
To cultivate immortality, you need to seek the path on the mountain. When you come down from the mountain, you have to learn to be a human being. Only in this way can you enter the world of mortals.
"Little brother, are you going to the city too? Why are you alone?" At this time, a clear and sweet child's voice came from below.
Zhou Yu looked down and saw a little girl wearing coarse cloth and plain clothes. Although she was simple but very clean, she was tugging at his clothes.
The little girl was very cute with her ponytail. She looked at him with innocence in her eyes. At this moment, her other hand was holding a strong middle-aged man carrying a pole full of goods.
"The little girl is ignorant, please don't blame this young master." Seeing Zhou Yu's eyes, the middle-aged man held the little girl's hand holding the clothes and explained quickly.
Although Zhou Yu was wearing a simple Tsing Yi, the material was made of silk and satin that was common among the wealthy gentry in the city, and was by no means an ordinary person.
Fortunately, although the man in front of me is young, he does not have that dandy air about him. Otherwise, if he were to be pursued relentlessly, he, an ordinary citizen, would not be able to offend him.
"It's okay." Seeing the middle-aged man's cautious look, Zhou Yu quickly waved his hand to express that he wouldn't care and explained.
"I follow my master in the mountains all year round to practice Taoism. Even if I get caught in the dust, it doesn't matter. Uncle, don't be nervous. Besides, your daughter is innocent and romantic, and she is at a lively and active age. How can I bear to blame her."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Daoist." The middle-aged uncle breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly.
"Uncle, you're welcome." Zhou Yu waved his hand.
"Little brother, are all the little Taoist priests on the mountain as good-looking as you?" Seeing that her father did not blame him, and that the little brother in front of her was so friendly, just like the big brother who always took care of her in the village, the little girl asked curiously.
"It's not true. Although there are many little Taoist priests on the mountain, none of them look good to me, and they are not as good-looking as you."
"Hehehe..." When the little girl heard this, her eyes narrowed in joy.
As time went by, Zhou Yu's relationship with the little girl, father and daughter became closer, and they were no longer too restricted while lining up.
During the chat, Zhou Yu also learned some information about the father and daughter.
The middle-aged man's name is Zhao Quan, and the little girl's name is Zhao Niu'er. They are five years old this year. Moreover, the middle-aged father and daughter are not the only ones going to the market this time. They also have friends from the same village. However, because there are too many people, the little girl is the third one.
I was quite curious when I entered the city, so I gradually fell behind.
After a cup of tea, villagers from the front came to help and helped the middle-aged man carry the burden.
"Thanks to the Taoist Priest for taking care of me this time. After entering the city, I will set up a stall in Nancheng. If the Taoist Priest is finished with his work at that time, if you don't mind, you can come to me here and I can treat you to a bowl.
An authentic Yangchun noodle in the city." When he was about to enter the city, Zhao Quan said with a rather heroic smile.
"There are also snowflake cakes, they are delicious. Little brother must come then." The little girl Zhao Niuer also shouted sweetly.
"Well, if I finish my work, I will definitely come over." Zhou Yu also said with a smile.
After a while, it was the turn of Zhao Quan and his daughter. Before leaving, the little girl waved to him distantly.
"Where are you coming from?" After a while, it was Zhou Yu's turn, and the soldier guarding the city glanced at him and asked.
"Ziyang Temple." Zhou Yu replied. After completing a simple identity verification, the soldier did not make any trouble and just let him go without any bad habit of tolling.
Zhou Yu's family was in the north of the city, where the rich gentry lived, so he didn't stay too long after entering the city.
Looking for the direction in my memory, along the way there were merchants carrying candied haws for sale, as well as small vendors setting up stalls on the roadside.
Candied haws, stinky tofu, meat buns, deep-fried pancakes, passing by one stall after another, the sound of selling sounds like last night can be heard in the ears, making the nostalgia that Zhou Yu and Zhao Quan finally calmed down during the conversation become even stronger.
stand up.
After a while, Zhou Yu came to the north of the city, where there were wealthy families everywhere.
Soon, the word "Zhou Mansion" appeared in front of him, and there were two burly men guarding the door.
"He who comes, stop here." When Zhou Yu was stroking the two stone lions in front of the door, one of them shouted with a serious look.
