Chapter 3: Pengcheng School Palace
Lu Dafu clenched the hoe handle in his hand and looked at the middle-aged man fiercely. The middle-aged man said nervously: "What do you want to do? Do you want to rebel against the sky and dare to beat me?"
Lu Dafu raised his hoe and said, "Greedy guy, you won't let me live, be careful that I won't let you live." ”
The woman grabbed Lu Dafu and said: "Be in charge, dissipate your anger, the mayor's family is in a big situation, we can't afford to provoke it! The two children are not adults yet, don't be impulsive." ”
The house slave next to the middle-aged man said: "It's the other thing that is against the sky, you two cheap things, which means that when your son grows up, you will dare to mistreat the town elder?"
The woman said hurriedly: "I didn't mean that, I was letting the head of the house discourage." ”
The middle-aged man laughed a few times and said, "Forgive you for not daring!"
A person ran quickly from a distance, shouting as he ran: "Town Chief, great joy, the young master seems to have been chosen by the Xianmen." ”
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he took a few steps to meet the man: "My son has really been selected to enter the immortal gate?"
The person who came was also a house slave, and he breathed down and said: "Yes, the young master has extraordinary qualifications, and he is favored by the immortal sect, and he will soon be able to cultivate into an immortal." "This time, the word 'as if' was missing from his report.
This town is a day's journey from Pengcheng, and the mayor's son has been studying in Pengcheng School Palace for five years, and he is ten years old this year.
If his son really entered Xianmen, the mayor's family would definitely soar, and there would be no need to stay in this remote town.
The middle-aged man glared back at Lu Dafu, threw a few cruel words, and walked home quickly with the two house slaves.
Lu Dafu weakly let go of the hoe and sat down in the ground. If there is an immortal in the mayor's house, just say a few angry words to him just now, and there will be no good life in the future.
He looked at the woman and her two sons, and his heart was cold to the soles of his feet. If you offend the mayor today, how will you live in the future?
The woman pulled Lu Dafu's sleeve and said: "Master, the immortals are coming to Pengcheng, if you don't take our two babies and go to the immortals to shake them, maybe my baby will also have the opportunity to cultivate immortals." ”
Lu Dafu's eyes lit up, if one of his two sons could be selected by the Xianmen, he would no longer have to be afraid of the mayor. Families with immortals have to be taken care of in Pengcheng.
Lu Dafu pulled up Xiaodong and Xiaoqiang, and crawled towards Pengcheng with a roll.
Pengcheng is the only big city within a radius of thousands of miles, and tens of thousands of small towns are under its jurisdiction. Its prosperity will not be repeated here, when Lu Dafu arrived in Pengcheng with his two sons, it was already the afternoon of the next day.
After entering Pengcheng, Lu Dafu was dumbfounded. The city is full of traffic, people come and go, where should he go? Where is the immortal?
In order to be in a hurry, Lu Dafu took Xiaodong and Xiaoqiang on a mountain road. After two days without food, the three of them were hungry and thirsty, and stood at the corner of a street, leaving only a blank place.
There was a burst of food aroma, and a steamed bun shop was nearby. The three of them went to buy three steamed buns, and asked the store for three bowls of cold water to drink, finally quenching their hunger and thirst temporarily.
After eating steamed buns and drinking cold water, Lu Dafu's head began to work. He asked for the direction of the school palace and rushed to the school palace with the child.
Immortals looking for immortal seedlings will definitely not look for adults, and will be selected among children. There is one of the largest school palaces in Pengcheng, which is a place for the children of the rich to study and learn the art of tuning.
Approaching the school palace, there are slowly more adults with children on the road. Lu Dafu occasionally heard from their conversation that the time for the immortals to select seedlings in the school palace was one month. There are still ten days in the last ten days, and every family, who is close to each other, will send their children to the school palace for testing.
The farther you go, the more crowded the people become. As far as the eye can see, there are no less than 10,000 children between the ages of five and ten. Lu Dafu suddenly had no confidence in his heart, of course, he didn't have any confidence in his heart.
The child likes to be lively, Xiaodong and Xiaoqiang drill when they see the cracks, and try to squeeze forward. Lu Dafu was not so good that he squeezed like a child, and he was gradually left behind. He shouted anxiously, "East cub, come back soon." ”
The school palace is magnificent, the two doors are closed, and only a small door next to it is opened. There were two sturdy men standing at the small doorway, and they blocked the doorway, letting people in one by one.
With the speed at which they release people, they can't let go of people on the street in ten days. Not to mention, there are people coming from all over the world.
Xiaodong and Xiaoqiang were in the flow of people, scurrying around, and soon disappeared from Lu Dafu's sight. Lu Dafu was so anxious that he shouted, but the street was full of people. He shouted loudly, and he didn't call Xiaodong and Xiaoqiang out.
Cultivating immortals is a big deal, if you lose your son, it will be even bigger than cultivating immortals. As far as the eye can see, in addition to the dense human heads, there are fierce shouts and reprimands from the rich and powerful.
Lu Dafu didn't care about etiquette and squeezed forward. A noblewoman stood in front of him, holding a little girl in her hands. Three vicious house slaves surrounded them.
To go to the front, you have to go past the five people in front. Lu Dafu thought of his son in his heart, said: "Borrow", and squeezed forward sideways.
The noble lady glanced at Lu Dafu and said, "What are you squeezing if you don't have long eyes?" Immortals recruit disciples in the school palace, you don't grow crops, what are you doing here to make a fuss?"
She slapped her nose with her hand, and the smell of sweat on Lu Dafu's body made her almost faint.
Two house slaves stood in front of Lu Dafu, and one of them stretched out his hand and pressed Lu Dafu and said, "Go back to Lao Tzu, dare to squeeze forward and break your dog's legs." ”
He pushed it with one palm, but he didn't push Lu Dafu. Lu Dafu has been farming all year round, with a strong body and strong muscles, and he is not as weak as a wandering son.
Without pushing with a palm, the house slave was angry and slammed his fist into Lu Dafu's chest. Lu Dafu had thick chest muscles, and he received a punch from him, but he still didn't retreat half a step.
He said sincerely: "I'm really sorry, my two children ran ahead." If I can't find them, they won't be able to find me when it's dark. ”
"you", the two house slaves confirmed that the man in front of them was a farmer, and they all struck Lu Dafu in the chest with two punches.
The two punches of an adult are extremely heavy. No matter how strong Lu Dafu's body is, he can't bear it. I felt a sharp pain in my chest, a sweet throat, and a wisp of blood soaked out of my mouth.
The little girl was as cute as an ice carving, and took the noble lady's hand and said, "Mother, he is so pitiful, don't beat him." ”
The noble lady pinched her nose and said to the two house slaves: "Let him go! I have never heard of the school palace recruiting disciples of the Xianmen, and there are farmers who come to join in the fun." ”
Lu Dafu couldn't fight back, and he didn't scold back. The two house slaves were also embarrassed to make another move, and let go of a gap on the side of their bodies. Lu Dafu thanked him, drilled through the gap, and was stupid again.
There was a dense crowd in front of him, and the farther he got to the front, the more crowded the flow of people became. The main thing is that there are more house slaves in every household in front. Next to every child, there are a few people guarding it, and at first glance it is the kind of family that is either rich or expensive.
Everyone stretched their necks and looked in the direction of the school palace. The small episode between Lu Dafu and the noble lady did not attract the attention of others.
The front family was a middle-aged man with a son, and there were seven guards. Lu Dafu pleaded several times in a row to borrow it, but he ignored it.
Lu Dafu talked too much, and the middle-aged man scolded: "Get out of the way, and if you make a noise again, you will cut your tongue." ”
A house slave flipped in his hand, and a shiny knife flashed. Looking at his gloomy eyes, Lu Dafu couldn't help but shudder.
He had an intuition that as long as the middle-aged man gave an order, the house slave would not hesitate to do it. He had the feeling of being watched by a wild beast, and he trembled with fear from the bottom of his heart.
The flow of people moves very slowly. It may be that Lu Dafu has a special smell, and the people around him have distanced themselves from him. He was surrounded by the crowd and slowly moved forward.
Every once in a while, he stood on tiptoe and shouted a few times to the front, "East cub, strong cub". The two children seemed to have lost their voice, and several hours passed, but they did not appear.
The sun was close to the sky, and it was getting late, and Lu Dafu was anxious. At this time, he could not move forward, nor could he go back. The follow-up flow of people has blocked the street. At a cursory glance, the entire street is full of human heads, and there is no end in sight.
In two days, I ate a steamed bun and drank a bowl of cold water. Lu Dafu was so hungry that he had already shouted hoarsely.
