Volume Two, Thousands of Lights, Chapter Thirty-Three, Time Wasting(1/2)

Xiaoyang Village is a very small village with only a dozen families in the village. The villagers work from sunrise and rest from sunset.

There is a small family in the north direction of the village, with a mulberry tree planted in the yard. The weeds drilled out of the fence, and several dog-tailed flowers fluttered in the wind. Occasionally, a wild flower bloomed in full bloom attracted a few colorful butterflies to fly, shaking the branches.

"Brother, wow, there is a hare."

A short-haired young man opened the wooden frame to surround the door of the yard. The young man was carrying a bundle of firewood on his back and held a hare in his hand.

"Juan'er, there will be rabbit legs to eat later." The young man shaved the little girl's nose towards him and said with a smile.

"Brother is the best. Juan'er wants to eat rabbit legs..." The little girl was extremely happy when she heard the rabbit legs, and was walking around the young man like a little bee. Seeing this, the young man showed a happy smile on his face. This young man was Lin Ziyun. He woke up since he fell into a coma after fighting with a beast last time.

In addition to practicing "Qi Refining Jue" every day, he also often goes to the back mountain to hunt and secretly practice the true skills of Fuxian.

Seeing Lin Ziyun peeling the hare and washing it, the little girl was staring at it.

"Juan'er, you are such a greedy cat."

"Hmph, it's not that my brother's baked rabbit legs are so delicious." The little girl said coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, okay... I'll give you enough food in a while."

Lin Ziyun is still very particular about eating. With him, even Xiao Zijuan's mouth was tricky. He took out the flower wine he had just brewed and soaked it on the rabbit meat. A faint fragrance of lotus dispersed. Lin Ziyun took a deep breath with the faint smell of wine. Zijuan also leaned over and smelled it, and her little nose was choking and hurriedly covered it.

"Haha... You can't drink this wine, Juan'er." Lin Ziyun smiled.

Juan'er stuck out her tongue at him, took some firewood and placed it next to the stove.

Lin Ziyun put some bay leaves in the rabbit's belly, and evenly applied some rapeseed oil he made on the rabbit meat, and roasted it on fire. After a while, the rabbit meat turned golden and the faint fragrance dispersed. Lin Ziyun shook her head and sighed, "It's a pity that there are no salt and peppers, otherwise it would be more delicious. Zijuan has never seen so many varieties of food. She was so greedy that she was almost drooling.

Lin Ziyun smiled slightly when he saw that the rabbit meat was almost roasted, and he poured a layer of honey from the forest. The rabbit meat was roasted in a while and shines with a faint luster.

This kind of dull life makes people feel easy to satisfy.

After taking a sip of homemade lotus wine, a slight spicy taste came from my throat, and I took a bite of rabbit meat. Life is just like this, Lin Ziyun thought so.

But just as a city that is too dazzling is not suitable for looking at the stars, his heart is not suitable for talking about stability.

Lin Ziyun looked at Zijuan eating rabbit meat with her small mouthfuls, and didn't know what she was thinking, and her eyes gradually dimmed.

The fire on the stove was still a little warm and an old cough came from inside the house.

"Grandma..." Zi Juan'er hurried into the house to take a look.

Seeing Zijuan walk away, Lin Ziyun also put down the wine pot. He closed his eyes and breathed, feeling a wisp of spiritual energy that seemed to be there and not be able to be there in the Dantian, and then a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes. After a month of hard practice, he finally achieved the spiritual energy into his body. Although it was far from the level of gathering energy mentioned in the "Qi Refining Jue", even if it was just a wisp at the moment, it proved that he could embark on this path of cultivation.

Even though what awaits him was a difficult and insurmountable natural barrier, Lin Ziyun had no regrets from the moment he decided to step on, only working hard.

"Brother...grandma...she...she can't do it anymore." Lin Ziyun was in a daze when he suddenly heard Zijuan scream. He was startled and hurried over.

I saw an old man on the bed, his face full of wrinkles and his anger was as angry as if he was wandering. Lin Ziyun shouted a few times, but saw that the old man had no reaction at all.

"Grandma...grandma, don't leave Nannan..."

Seeing the elders who were together day and night passed away, this feeling of being unable to be grasped. Lin Ziyun felt like someone had stolen something from him, but who could catch it? Seeing Zijuan crying heartbroken, Lin Ziyun hugged her, just trying her best to let her feel the warmth in this world.

At the last moment, I don’t know if the old man was looking back. His body, which was originally motionless, had his fingers trembled. Lin Ziyun knew that she was going to speak, so she held back her sadness and turned her ears over.

But the old man was exhausted and he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth. She looked at Lin Ziyun with her eyes glowing.

Lin Ziyun couldn't help feeling heartbroken when he saw the old man's haggard appearance. He stepped forward and held the old man's skinny palm tightly, but he couldn't feel any warmth. Lin Ziyun felt sad.

"Grandma, don't worry, I will take good care of Juan'er." Lin Ziyun will never forget the old man's eyes staring at him at the last moment of his life.

There is peace of mind, rest, and concern.

After leaving, he really left and never returned. Lin Ziyun didn’t know if there was reincarnation. If so, who could remember who?

"Grandma... don't leave Nannan...grandma..."

Sometimes people are very fragile, and they can touch the heartstrings with just a light flash.

I don’t know when my face was covered with tears, and the evening breeze blew out a trace of charcoal fire left behind. Lin Ziyun couldn’t help but think of his parents at home, are they okay? I wonder if he is missing him too?

The sadness of being a stranger alone in a foreign land came like a tide. Lin Ziyun understood that he could only go against the road. Since God has allowed him to be reborn, he must cherish everything, try his best to protect everything he wants, and strive for everything he wants. He must live well, and only in this way can he have a chance to break free.

The mulberry leaves are blown by the breeze, and the flowers splashed by the fire are bigger than the moon today.

Yes, living is the most important thing, living.

"Brother, where are we going?"

"Go to the capital."

"The capital of the country, Juan'er heard from the blind uncle at the entrance of the village that it is the largest place in the world, with big houses and long streets that can't be reached. It seems to be called... What's the name of Chang'an City."

Chang'an, yes. But in this chaotic era, where can I find a call to Chang'an?

It is difficult and dangerous to go to Chang'an, but I am afraid there will be no peace on the road. But if you don't go to the largest city, how can you find a peerless opportunity?

The two of them went west along the place where the sun set.

Lin Ziyun was just starting to practice, and Yu Wenyou used various herbs to temper her body. It was no problem for him to travel a little. However, Zijuan was young and had her face turned red after walking for a long time, and her forehead was covered with sweat. Lin Ziyun saw that she couldn't walk, so she carried her on her back, but she didn't know what the way forward and had no way back.

One day and one night, I don’t know how far I walked, but there was a wine flag swaying in front of me, and a tavern landed in front of me.

This is a small town, and I finally found a place to stay.

Zijuan was so excited that Lin Ziyun carefully wiped her sweat stains. The two drank some water, and Lin Ziyun thought about finding a place to stay for a night.

In Siyang Town, pedestrians were bustling with people, and the merchandisers were hawking on the road.

"It's so lively, brother." Zijuan had never seen such a big market, and was a little excited for a moment. It was the first time Lin Ziyun saw such an ancient town, and she had a whim. The two of them had a lot of fatigue along the way, and they were walking around and watching.

Lin Ziyun saw the little girl secretly looking at a steaming bun shop on the side of the road, thinking that this girl must be hungry.

"Juan'er, come..."

"Brother, I'm not hungry, I'll just eat dry food."

Seeing that Lin Ziyun was sensible and well-behaved, it made people feel sorry for her. She was such a well-behaved little girl. "It's not a dragon meat or fairy meat. Is my Juan'er who wants to eat buns, but is she afraid that her brother can't afford it?"

"Hehe...brother, I'm the best for me."

Lin Ziyun spent a few copper coins and bought a few hot buns and handed them to Zijuan. The little girl was probably hungry, so she opened her mouth and bitten it away, making her mouth so hot.

The brother and sister were not very involved in much trouble, so they did not stay in a hotel. They found a deserted temple outside the town and stayed for a night to rest.

The next day, when the sun was together, Lin Ziyun took Juan'er to Chang'an.

It was summer, and insects and mosquitoes were biting along the way. Zijuan was young and had weak constitution. She accidentally got cold and fell ill for several days at a time. Fortunately, Lin Ziyun waited day and night and took good care of her, and gradually improved.

The two lived on wild fruits along the way, and the heaven and earth were quilts. They walked around for countless journeys and finally saw a big city.

Summer and autumn have come, and it has been several months since then.

Outside the city gate, a man of medium figure and a little girl of six or seven years old looked at the huge Chang'an City and smiled.

The autumn wind blew, lowering the weeds outside the city, and the figures of the brother and sister gradually came towards the capital.

People living in this city know that this is the largest city of Qin and the capital of Qin. The emperor of a generation, the imperial city where the real dragon is in charge of Chang'an.

At the city gate, the business trips were pushing carts and leading carts in an endless stream. There were luxuriously dressed women who went out to visit relatives, and there were also teenagers in robes who came to the city to work.

The city guards just looked at Lin Ziyun and Zijuan for a moment, and saw that they looked slightly yellow and were wearing ragged shirts. The man seemed to not even want to say anything, and covered his mouth with disgust.

"Two beggars, go... go wherever they come from."

"Can you come in the capital? Let's go, let's go..." The two of them pushed Lin Ziyun and Zijuan aside.

"Can't poor people enter the imperial city?" Lin Ziyun was looked down upon when he first arrived. He could not stand others despise him the most in his life, and a nameless aura rose to his heart.

"Haha... people can come in naturally. But it's not necessarily the case." The man said harshly. Seeing that the quarrels were quarreling here, several guards surrounded them with iron guns.

"Brother..." Zijuan grew up in Xiaoyang Village and had never seen such a situation. Her face turned pale and her body shrank behind Lin Ziyun.

Lin Ziyun saw that she was afraid and stood in front of her. Although he was angry at this moment, he knew that he was not the opponent of so many people. Moreover, Zi Juan was here, if it was implicated by the little girl, it would be even more unwise.

He gritted his teeth and endured this breath. However, Chang'an City was close to him but he couldn't get in. The brother and sister came here from afar. Could it be that they didn't even have the qualifications to get in? Lin Ziyun felt sad and couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Why, don't you understand what I said? Get out of the way like a dog, get out..." a man shouted.

Several people pushed Lin Ziyun and the others out without saying a word. One of them pushed Zijuan hard, and the little girl fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this, Lin Ziyun quickly helped her up. Zijuan rarely cried, and her big eyes looked at the person who pushed her in front of her. She didn't understand why she did not do anything wrong but others treated her like this. The people here seemed to be full of malice towards her and her brother.

"What a shameful life, it's dirty my hands." The city guard wiped his hands on the corner of his clothes and said indifferently.

It's tolerant, but who is unbearable? Lin Ziyun stared at the man with his eyes glowing.

"asshole……"

The man heard Lin Ziyun scold him and reached out to beat him. However, when he saw the madness and coldness in Lin Ziyun's eyes, he shivered for no reason.

"What are you doing? You're slow and come over quickly..."

"Here, come, what's the hurry?" Someone was urging, and the city guard replied impatiently.

The man wanted to hit Lin Ziyun, but when he thought of Lin Ziyun's gaze just now, the man felt timid for some reason. The man said, "You are lucky, why don't you leave quickly." He ignored Lin Ziyun and the others.

"Brother... I don't want to go anywhere, I just want brother." Zijuan curled up in Lin Ziyun's arms, her little mouth buzzing.

"Juan'er is not afraid, I have my brother here. My brother will not let others bully you in the future, I have my brother to protect you." Lin Ziyun felt a trembling heart when she heard her whisper. Thinking of his powerlessness, he really hated and hurt.

Not far from the city, an old Taoist temple was found. The brother and sister were preparing to spend the night here and make plans.
