Volume 1: Trial of Xianxia Chapter 58 Xiucai Liu Ji
It's poor, and people generally don't take the initiative to invite them to live, and the words of eating are generally said to familiar people next to them, but not to strangers.
The only kind of person who can simply find a place to live and something to eat is a monk, a monk, not a living person......
But what can you do without asking or talking? This Changzhong County does not know where it is, and now in the afternoon, He Ji is not sure that he will be able to walk to Changzhong County in a short time.
As he walked, there was a different one among the people who were originally dressed in gray cloth shirts, at least the clothes on his body were different from the others.
A showman, He Ji didn't expect that there was a showman in this kind of place, when he walked up, he shouted;
"Brother Ren in front, wait a minute!"
Hearing someone shouting, Xiucai also stopped, and when he turned around, he saw He Ji.
"Are you calling me?" asked Na Xiucai, and He Ji nodded.
"I would like to ask where Changzhong County is and how far it is from here. ”
"Changzhong County, Changzhong County is still a long way from here, and you can get to Changzhong County by following the road on the mountain. That Xiucai explained, and his words were clear and clear.
"What, are you still going to Changzhong County now?" said Na Xiucai as he looked at the sky and asked.
"......"
"If you don't have a place to live, come to the cold house for a night, if you leave early tomorrow morning, you will soon be able to arrive in Changzhong County, now you can't walk, it's very dangerous at night." That Xiucai persuaded, He Ji bowed slightly when he saw this, and said in his mouth;
"Then bother, I don't know what to call it?"
"In the next Liu Ji. ”
“……”
A few words, this He Ji can be regarded as having found a home, although the house is a little rotten, it looks like it will collapse at any time, and it is full of books, but I have to say that it is very good, He Ji lives in that town is not as good as his, it rains and leaks, and it snows.
This Liu Ji was the same as He Ji at that time, one meal a day, and he ate less, and he originally planned to cook, He Ji was embarrassed to eat his food no matter how hungry he was, let alone not hungry......
The two of them were naturally talking about knowledge together, and after a conversation, he realized that this was not simple, not just wearing a scholarly costume, and the knowledge was not low at all!
At night, Liu Ji didn't rest, but still took out a lamp with little oil left, and looked at the books under the light.
So He Ji was also interested, looking at his serious appearance He Ji felt weird, this place is very remote, and the money is naturally very small, maybe with his knowledge, he can be admitted to a high-ranking official, but not to mention the test, even whether he can live is a problem, not to mention that if he wants to go to Yingquanzhou City, it is impossible to walk on his two feet.
Compared with him, He Ji found that he was much better, he took care of the old man in front of him, so that he had time to study, and later when he died, he also had a certain ability, so he mixed up with a teacher, and then came to this He family Although he had a better life, he almost lost his life.
But all this feels good, if there is no life and death, it is impossible for him to really step into the cultivation of immortals, maybe he will be like this Liu Ji, studying hard for half his life, just for a test, but this test has not been tested, and there are suicides with bad psychology.
It wasn't until the middle of the night that Liu Ji blew the lamp and fell asleep, maybe he didn't do this on weekdays, but today he was so serious when he said this to He Ji, he slept, but He Ji didn't sleep, but walked out, sat cross-legged under the gelatin moonlight, and began to roll up the aura vortex around him, and he became accustomed to cultivating this sword heart technique......
When the first rooster crowed, He Ji opened his eyes and went back to rest, the rooster crows early here, because people also get up early.
He Ji, who hadn't rested for two hours, also got up, He Ji took a look, Liu Ji had already gotten up, and his voice came from outside the door made of broken wooden planks, and a person was talking to him.
He Ji leaned to the door, and saw a woman with a pale face standing in front of Liu Ji, holding a bamboo basket with many fresh fruits and a few pieces of exquisite embroidered cloth.
"Today we are going to the town to sell these freshly embroidered cloths, and you should hurry up and bring up the pen and paper, if anyone buys the pen and paper you wrote, you will have the money to refer to it. The pale woman urged, and as she spoke, He Ji could see that her lips were also dry, as if she hadn't drunk water for a long time.
If she changes her clothes into good ones, maybe it's similar to those ladies, but it's a pity, people in this kind of place want to live, and they can't even solve the problem of hunger, so they won't have any other ideas about dressing or the like.
"Xiao Ting, wait a minute, I'll prepare right away!" Liu Ji nodded and said, maybe the time was really short, he walked back quickly, and the two happened to see He Ji leaning against the door.
"Brother He, you're awake, I'm a little embarrassed about this, I have something to go out, look at this ......" Liu Ji said with a little blush, He Ji hurriedly waved his way when he saw this, and said in his mouth;
"It's okay, you can do whatever you want, if the direction is Changzhong County, you can walk all the way. ”
"That's very good, the direction we are going to is a small town in the middle of Nachangzhong County, and we can go the same way. Liu Ji was happy when he heard this, and hurriedly put away the things to prepare.
Then a few people left, and there were not only He Ji and the three of them, but also many people, young and old, and a few young, but those young people carried animals that had been shot to death on their shoulders, and they were still wearing clothes made of fur, and their bodies showed strong muscles, as if they had endless strength.
This is a village of people, relatively familiar, the only strange is He Ji who is talking to this Liu Ji, listening to the conversation between the two, it seems that Liu Ji is asking He Ji something, and everyone sees He Ji's clothes and treats him as a scholar, and he should be the same as this Liu Ji is ready to refer to, but he just walked by the way, and he saw He Ji yesterday.
More than a dozen people stopped after walking for more than half an hour, and there were no other people except the mud road in the mountains, and the village was really remote enough.
Except for He Ji, the three of them are relatively light, and the others are heavier, and those who are over seventy years old are still a little physically exhausted, so they stopped to rest, and those who are young are also, carrying sixty or seventy pounds of things on their shoulders, and they are also slightly panting in their mouths.
"Isn't this Liu Xiucai? Why, I'm still going to refer to it! I have already failed once last time, and you still ...... it."
After resting for a while, suddenly an old man with a wrinkled face said in surprise, and the meaning of his words was a little regretful.
He Ji didn't know that Liu Ji had failed to refer to it once, but He Ji didn't believe in the word failure, according to He Ji, he didn't even get a reference, after all, ten copper plates were required to enter the city, and as far as they were concerned, ten copper plates could not be given casually.
"Xiao Ting, you are going to sell things to this Liu Ji for reference today!" As soon as the old man finished speaking, a young man walked up to Liu Ji and the woman, and said so.
"Look at you, he may not be able to pass the exam this time, instead of helping him as a fool, it is better to live by yourself, you see that after so many years, you are still more bitter than him, what have you got?" The young man asked again, Liu Ji next to him also gritted his teeth when he heard this, this young man said well, and the facts are also true.
Saying this, I saw that the woman named Xiaoting lowered her head and did not answer him, the young man sighed helplessly when he saw this, his eyes turned to Liu Ji again, and he said again;
"Liu Ji, I didn't say you, if we hadn't grown up in a village since we were children, and if Xiaoting hadn't liked you, I would have broken your hand and told you to get out, and I thought about the exam one day, can you get in?"
"It's not that I said, I originally advised you to be like us, it's better to learn to hunt, so that you can eat and dress well, look at what you can do now?" the young man said with some puzzlement, obviously not satisfied with this Liu Ji embarking on this road.
"I will definitely be able to pass the exam this time, everyone must believe me!" Liu Ji defended, there was a feeling of wanting to cry without tears, he had already persevered, but there was no one in the village to support him, except for Xiao Ting beside him who had been supporting and encouraging him for so many years, if it weren't for this Xiao Ting, Liu Ji would have given up a long time ago.
Liu Ji said this, and another young man with only a gray cloth on his body walked over and said in a loud voice;
"Come on, I still believe you, if you can pass the exam, you will be admitted last time, and what are you doing when you come back without half a penny? ”
Listening to their words, He Ji looked at Liu Ji with some admiration, not to mention the difficult environment, he was able to persevere in the face of so many opposing words and indifference every day, is this okay for ordinary people?
"Okay, you don't have to say anything to hit him anymore, I believe he can, you don't believe it, just go away, and I didn't ask you to say anything!" The woman named Xiao Ting on the side finally spoke, and scolded the two, looking very unhappy.
"Xiao Ting, why are you still protecting him, you said you, what is good about him, just a useless nerd, what do you do and what is not, I see that it is too late for you to choose to leave him now, and you will not be able to live this life in the future!" The young man with a gray cloth around his neck persuaded, his words were a little helpless, maybe such words have not been said less.
"If you don't help, forget it, and say such things, it's embarrassing to say that a village grew up, let's go, don't listen to their ......" That Xiaoting picked up Liu Ji's hand and continued to walk forward, the two young people were not angry for a while, and they persuaded each other, but they provoked her?
"Two, I think Brother Liu Jitai's knowledge is still very high, and I also believe that he can be admitted, you ......"
"Brother Tai, since it's all called like this, why don't you help him, and still talk cool here, I see that you are also a person who has not been admitted, and you have no power to tie the chicken, so you will wait to eat white rice in the future!" He Ji didn't finish speaking, the two of them said sarcastically, and after finishing speaking, they picked up their things and continued to set off.
