Chapter 60: Gossip
The alley in front of the Qingteng Garden was destroyed miserably, half of the green bricks and tiles were broken when touched, and the windless weather was full of dust.
"No one walks through this door anymore, what are we looking at here!" complained the doorman Xiaozhuzi, holding a broom.
"There are still people coming, but Uncle Zhao hasn't come yet. ”
"Look at this, if you want to fix this street, I'm afraid it will take three or five days. ”
"Hey, you say, who should pay for this street repair?"
"You didn't see it yesterday, most of them were burned by our eldest sister Chen! But well, in the end, they came to find fault, and they should pay for this money!"
"Yes, but they're all gone, where do you want money?"
"Stupid you! If you have a name and a surname, where can you run? We can still have no Wang Fa in the sky? Can we still have no one to support our Qingteng Garden?"
"Yes...... Hey, Uncle Zhao, are you here again?"
Lao Zhao came to the door of Qingteng Garden with his rock sugar gourd with a smile, afraid that the rock sugar gourd would be dusty, so he took off his coat and took it out after this paragraph.
"Two little brothers, I'm tired of you, this is for the two of you, this is for Hu Ran. ”
"Uncle Zhao, if you are so partial, just give Sister Hu Ran such a big and popular one, we will not pass it on to you again. ”
Lao Zhao smiled innocently and said: "Actually, it's not much worse, a whole string is not much worse, not much worse, not much worse." ”
Xiao Zhuzi took the string of the largest and reddest, and ran towards the green pear orchard, thinking all the way, I regret why I didn't think of finding Hu Ran yesterday, if you find Hu Ran, you will definitely be able to find Brother Ning Du.
When he arrived at the Qingli Garden, Hu Ran was really there, and Xiaozhuzi waited at the door for most of the hour, and only went in to find Hu Ran after Bian Jiao finished teaching.
Hu Ran's hard days finally had a hint of sweetness, and she took a big bite with tears in her eyes. If it weren't for this rock sugar gourd, she really wouldn't have a little hope.
Xiao Zhuzi hesitated for a while before saying, "Sister Hu Ran, do you know where Brother Ning Du is?"
"Yes, it's on the edge of our Snow Lake. Hu Ran puffed out his mouth and said.
"Really?" Xiao Zhuzi was taken aback, and vividly performed what happened at the gate yesterday.
Hu Ran rolled his eyes and went to Firefly Lake.
Xiao Zhuzi looked at Hu Ran's back and raised his voice: "Sister Hu Ran, if that group of people comes again, I will come to Qingli Garden to find you, you must call Brother Ning Du! Without Brother Ning Du, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop that group!"
Hu Ran was thinking about something, and he didn't hear the shout of Xiao Zhuzi, so he walked towards Firefly Lake.
Ning Du was still in that place, sitting like a fool, his eyes were blank, and he didn't notice Hu Ran's arrival at all.
Hu Ran sat aside, habitually put the rock sugar gourd to Ning Du's mouth, and when he saw that the other party did not react, he took it back and ate it himself, and said to himself: "Young master, I heard that many people have been looking for you recently, and they are not with good intentions. What do you think we're going to do, just hide here?"
Ning Du didn't respond.
Hu Ran ate another rock sugar gourd and said: "Listen to Xiaozhuzi, the group of people who came yesterday were very fierce and injured many people, and finally it was your classmate, the cold Chen Nanping, who blocked them away! Young master, if only you woke up, nothing would be a problem. ”
It's rare to steal some spare time, Hu Ran is very willing to sit here and finish her rock sugar gourd, thinking about those trivial things.
"Isn't this Ning Du?"
"Why is he hiding here?" The students who were passing by the Firefly Lake found Ning Du and Hu Ran who were sitting, and couldn't help but say out loud.
"Could it be that he's always here?"
"Okay, you Ning Du, everyone came to the door yesterday, and you are hiding here, not even a fart?"
"Okay, okay, don't you say it, don't die?" The students who were traveling with them hurriedly grabbed their partners and walked to the side, they were Qingxingyuan students who didn't know how to practice at all, if they really started to move, they would only pick up the king's eight fists, where was the opponent of the cultivators.
"You let go of me! If you don't let go of me today, we won't be friends! I just risk my life today, and I have to say justice here!" The student shook off his companion, rushed forward three steps, and pointed at Ning Du's back and scolded loudly.
Hu Ran looked back at the other party, listened to the other party's words, and occasionally blinked.
"Ning Du! It's obvious that you provoked the incident, but you are hiding here as a turtle with a shrunken head! Don't you know that Senior Shi Zhuxi vomited blood for you yesterday? Don't you know that Chen Nanping almost fought with someone's life? And you? Just hide here and don't say a word?"
"Do you think you're amazing? Didn't you just get the second place in the Qingyun test, didn't you just repel a few people who came to the door to challenge? With such a few merits, you dare to swagger around against the reputation of Qingteng Garden and cause trouble?"
"You have done so many sins with the fame of Qingteng Garden, but you have to clean it up by yourself! You are still sitting here as a deaf and dumb person, and if something happens, let others carry it for you, and let Qingteng Garden carry it for you! I don't have a student like you in Qingteng Garden! You don't deserve to wear this school uniform at all!" The speaker was angry, kicked Ning Du angrily, raised a bunch of dry grass, and was dragged away by his companions, and the shouting and scolding never stopped.
Hu Ran whispered in Ning Du's ear: "Young Master, he looks like a mad dog!"
......
"Yesterday's incident was led by Chu Shinian, the son of the left servant of the household department. Speaking of this Chu Shinian, he is also a legendary figure. His father always hoped that he could get famous, but he was good at martial arts by nature, and his father had been in charge for ten years, but he couldn't control it, so he simply relied on him. Unexpectedly, Chu Shinian was an elm pimple in learning literature and literacy, but he was a genius in practice, and he could be described as a thousand miles in the realm, and soon became an outstanding representative of Shenfeng Academy. I entered the barracks two years ago, and I just came back. ”
"The left waiter of the household department came to apologize in person yesterday afternoon, and sent someone to repair all the streets and alleys at the door, and promised to arrange the money allocated above to our garden one month in advance. It's really nice to be able to do this. ”
"In my opinion, Lord Chu is also sincere, then Chu is also a hairy boy, and the competition between young people is much better than making some scandals. This matter is also understood, don't delve into anything further. "Pillow Creek, what do you think?"
Shi Zhuxi nodded yes, he naturally didn't have any opinion here, he was just here to tell what happened yesterday. Don't look at these leaders of Qingteng Garden, they didn't have any official positions, and they all stirred up trouble in the court back then. What they agreed on, it was not the turn of a junior to accuse.
"Pillow Creek, your injuries are not serious, are they?"
"It's just a minor injury, and it's no longer a big deal. Shi Zhuxi said with a smile.
"It's better to go to Bian Jiaoxi and have a look, don't leave any sequelae, if you delay the future of your cultivation, it's not worth it. ”
"Yes. ”
"Okay, you go to Bian Jiaoxi first. ”
"Yes. Shi Zhuxi withdrew from the house, and did not go to the green pear orchard, but to the Forgotten Pavilion that he was most familiar with, and only there could he find some peace.
Shi Zhuxi opened the familiar book, completely immersed in it, and when he raised his head, the sky outside was completely dark, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face. The problem that had hindered him for three months was finally overcome, and it was thought that his bottleneck would loosen a little.
"Congratulations, Brother Shi has finally taken this step, and it seems that it is not so far away from the Xuan Realm. ”
"Who?" suddenly a voice sounded beside him, and Shi Zhuxi's nerves tensed for a moment.
"Brother Shi, don't be so nervous!" the person who spoke slowly walked out.
"It's you again!" said Shi Zhuxi's eyebrows with anger. This man appeared in front of him several times, each time for the same thing, and he had long since hated it.
"Last time, I said that I wouldn't bother Brother Shi again, but I still couldn't help but come, even if I broke my promise, presumably Brother Shi wouldn't care about these small sections. ”
The identity of the other party, Shi Zhuxi can guess that it is not far from ten, and he can come and go freely in the Qingteng Garden and have such a high level of cultivation, he can only be a certain teacher. He didn't have enough reason to do it, and when the time came, it would be too noisy, and it would be himself who would not end well.
"If you die of that heart, I won't make a deal with you. ”
"Look! I'm dead of this heart, how can you die of this heart? Look at the attitude of the old men towards you today. A small Hubu Zuo Shilang can suppress this matter without caring about your feelings at all. Who knows what you've done?"
Shi Zhuxi looked at the other party coldly and did not immediately refute.
"You have studied hard for three months to realize such a little thing, but it is far less than what others can comprehend overnight, Chu Shinian's punch can knock you down, not to mention people like Chen Nanping and Ning Du. Is your heart dead?"
Shi Zhuxi clenched his fists at some point, and the expression on his face also changed a little.
"What are you doing after studying hard for ten years, and practicing hard every day and night? What are you trying to do? Is your heart really dead?"
Stone Pillow Creek threw a punch, but it grazed the speaker's cheek. He gasped sharply, his eyes a scarlet color.
The other party gently clenched Shi Zhuxi's fist and said, "There are not many opportunities in life, now is the time to seize the opportunity, you have to hold it tightly." ”
