Chapter 2: Immortals
"You're not allowed to go out today!" The mother frowned and said to Yan Ning, who had not yet stepped out of the threshold.
"I'll be back soon!" Yan Ning begged.
"You give me a good lesson in embroidery at home today."
"I don't want it!" You must know that she hates those needles and threads the most, and I don't understand why my mother always wants her to learn!
Wan Niang was also mentally prepared for her refusal, and said: "Then give me practice calligraphy!" ”
said that she wanted to practice calligraphy by herself, so Yan Ning reluctantly went back to the back room.
The paper used to practice calligraphy is very expensive, and the whole village has it in addition to her family, and the village chief's family has it. Wan Niang usually helps others sew clothes or do some embroidery work to earn some money. The wages she earned for a few days were only the money she earned for a piece of paper, so she didn't like to practice calligraphy on paper, and her mother could spend less money to buy paper for her.
Reluctant to put down the pen for a long time, Yan Ning finally put the pen down, lying on the table with both hands on her cheeks, bored.
"Why are you here, big brother?" There was a mother's voice outside the house, and Yan Ning hurriedly hid behind the door to take a sneak peek.
"I went to the mountains today to hunt a wild boar, anyway, if I can't finish eating, I want to send some to Wanniang's family." Fu Dagui scratched the back of his head innocently, and the roots of his ears were faintly red.
"How can this work? You'd better keep it for yourself. Wan Niang refused.
"If you don't eat, there's Yan Ning's girl! Now is the time for her to grow her body. How can you not even have a meat all year round? ”
"But......" Wan Niang hesitated a little, looked at the room, and was so frightened that Yan Ning immediately retracted her head.
"You just take it." Fu Dagui stuffed the pork in his hand into Wan Niang's hand.
"Thank you then." Wan Niang thanked her embarrassedly.
"Thanks what, then I'm leaving." After Fu Dagui finished speaking, he turned around to leave, which was quite a bit of a desert and fled.
"Hey, wait." Wan Niang called Fu Dagui.
"Is there something wrong?" Fu Dagui asked strangely, but there was anticipation in his tone.
"Wait for me, I'll make you a pair of shoes, you can see if they fit." After Wan Niang finished speaking, she sent the meat to the kitchen first.
Yan Ning doesn't like this person called Fu Dagui, but she hopes that he can become her father in her heart, so that no one will say that she has no father, right? But my mother didn't allow myself to think like this, and my mother said that he was a good person and should find a good girl's family.
"But my mother is also a good girl!" That's what I said at the time, but my mother just smiled and shook her head, and didn't speak again.
"Mother, I'm out!" Before Wanniang came out, Yan Ning seized the opportunity and ran away.
"Dead girl, stop me!" By the time she drove out, Yan Ning was gone.
"Big brother, I made you laugh." looked at Fu Dagui apologetically, the other party was looking at her stupidly, which made her a little embarrassed.
Fu Dagui woke up, hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "Yan Ning is a filial person. ”
After Yan Ning escaped, she ran to the head of the village, and a few children who were originally playing in the open space scattered and ran away when they saw her coming. Yan Ning didn't bother to pay attention to them, ran to the old tree and climbed up. Sitting down in the old position, the lotus knot-like calves swaying back and forth.
The old tree has been in the village for many years, and no one knows how long it has lived. People in the village say that the old tree has become fine, so it does not lose its leaves all year round. Therefore, everyone avoids it, and children do not listen to persuasion and like to come here. But only Yan Ning and Bai Tianfan will stick to the old tree. Especially Yan Ning, I like to climb up the most.
"Bai Tianfan, aren't you annoyed by reading books every day?" Yan Ning shouted at Bai Tianfan, who was reading a book against the trunk of the tree. But he ignored himself.
"Hey, what about you!" Yan Ning shouted dissatisfiedly.
Bai Tianfan finally spoke up, didn't raise his head, and asked lightly: "Aren't you annoyed to climb this tree every day?" ”
Yan Ning was so choked that she didn't speak anymore. His face gradually became lonely, and he looked up into the distance. It's the highest place in the village, and you can only sit here to see farther afield, and maybe where her father lives!
"Bai Tianfan, look!" Yan Ning suddenly pointed to the sky excitedly and shouted.
Bai Tianfan looked up a little impatiently and saw a person flying in the sky, and he was flying in their direction at this time!
Soon the man was beside them and landed silently. The geese slid to the ground like a loach, their eyes sparkling with adoration.
The man walked up to Bai Tianfan and said with a smile: "Are you willing to cultivate immortals with me?" ”
Bai Tianfan was just a child, looking at the man in shock.
"Yes, willing, willing!" Seeing that Bai Tianfan was stunned, Yan Ning anxiously answered for him.
The man glanced at the excited Yan Ning, and then looked at Bai Tianfan and asked repeatedly.
Bai Tianfan nodded and agreed in a daze.
"Then you take me to meet your family first, and I have to discuss it with them."
"Yes!" Bai Tianfan nodded in agreement. His hands and feet were a little discordant, leading the way in front, and the books in his palms were pinched to the ground.
The man glanced at the old tree next to him, and then carefully probed with his divine sense, and followed Bai Tianfan without noticing anything abnormal.
Yan Ning naturally followed them, thinking that this person could fly, he guessed that he must be an immortal!
"Are you an immortal?" Yan Ning still couldn't help but ask, her little face full of adoration.
The man didn't expect Yan Ningwei to ask this, so he was stunned and said, "No." ”
"But you can fly!" Yan Ning didn't believe it.
"When the immortal cultivation reaches a certain stage, it will be." The man pondered and picked out something that the little girl in front of him should be able to understand.
"Then can you teach me to cultivate immortals?"
The man looked at Yan Ning and shook his head.
"Why! Why did you accept Bai Tianfan as an apprentice, but I couldn't? Yan Ningsheng asked.
The man thought about it for a long time and said, "It's just fate."
Yan Ning pouted, what kind of fate, I just don't want to accept myself! But he followed them disgruntled. In fact, that person is looking at Yan Ning's mediocre qualifications, and it would be far-fetched to be his apprentice.
When he arrived at the village chief's house, the man explained the reason.
"It's great that the immortals can take a fancy to my grandson! Tianfan, don't kowtow to the teacher soon! The village chief's tone was excited, and the folds on his face were squeezed into a chrysanthemum.
Bai Tianfan listened to his grandfather's words, and as soon as his legs bent, he fell to the ground and kowtowed several times. He shouted loudly, "Apprentice, meet Master!" ”
"Haha, from today onwards, you will be my Zhang De's apprentice, you will have to cultivate hard in the future!" The man stroked his beard and laughed.
"Yes!"
Yan Ning muttered beside him: "Cut, he's not an immortal, why do you call him an immortal!" ”
Zhang De didn't pay much attention to Yan Ning's words when he heard it, and he didn't want to be angry with a little girl.
"In that case, I'll take Tianfan back." Zhang De asked Bai Tianfan to get up and prepare to leave.
A man next to him said, "Don't the immortals have to eat with us?" ”
"Smack" The village chief patted him on the head and said, "What else do the immortals need to eat?" ”
Zhang De just smiled and said, "Let's go!" Before everyone could react, he and Bai Tianfan disappeared in place, and a light and shadow quickly dissipated across the sky.
"Worthy of an immortal!" The village chief sighed as he looked at the air as usual. But a sobbing sound came from the side, interrupting the village chief's emotion.
"Crying for what?" The village chief turned and shouted.
The woman choked up and said, "I haven't said goodbye to my son yet, and I don't know how long it will take to see him again." ”
"Women's people just don't know!" The village chief shook his sleeves and left.
"Look at you, a great good thing is still crying here, no wonder Dad is angry!" The man pointed at the woman and cursed.
"But we may never see our son again!" The woman argued.
After listening to the woman's words, the man's expression suddenly became sad, and he sighed and left.
Yan Ning saw that there was nothing to do with her and ran home.
When I got home, I saw that my mother was the only one sewing clothes at the door. Nafu Dagui has long since left.
