Chapter 014: Farewell to the Lin family
"Of course...... I don't lie to small children. Chu Boyu looked away with a weak heart, thinking of the home that was burned by the fire.
"I'm not a child." Gongsun Lingze's eyes lit up, and he pouted to himself: "Alas, since I was a child, my mother didn't allow me to leave Pushan, even this time, I went directly into a palace city, and everything on the ground was too far away to be clear at all." β
"On the ground?" Chu Boyu thought that he had misheard, but Gongsun Ling nodded in affirmation.
It was noisy outside the house again, and Chu Poyu and Gongsun Ling had to suspend the conversation. When I opened the door, there were more than a dozen people sparsely surrounded by the courtyard. When everyone saw the two of them come out, their eyes were strange and shining, some snickered and bowed their heads, some covered their mouths and snickered, and some were fascinated, which was very lively.
And Lao Lin and his wife happened to persuade each other with good words at this time, and Chu Boyu was inconvenient to step forward to say more, and stuffed Gongsun Ling, who was as curious as the villagers, behind him. The villagers are simple, just strange to see, and after seeing it, they slowly dispersed. Sending away the onlookers, Lao Lin said apologetically: "Brother Chu is not smiling, the village is small, there are few outsiders, and it is very rare for everyone to see someone as good-looking as you. β
Lin Da ...... Brother, may I ask if you are ......" Gongsun Ling squeezed through Chu Boyu's barrier, and wanted to ask Lao Lin and his wife if they were also the people entrusted by her father.
The meaning of the words was directly interrupted by Chu Poyu after seeing through it at a glance, and immediately said to Lao Lin: "It's my brother and sister who are burdensome Brother Lin, thanks to you and your sister-in-law for taking us in last night, and repaying the loan for our meal." Now it's causing you trouble, and we should not be able to do it. Now, my brother and sister are resting and can't trouble you anymore. β
"We're getting out of here? But I ......"
"Xiao Ling, obedient, didn't we say it before we came out, since we came out to travel and play, we can't be so angry. You also saw it just now, we can't cause trouble for them because of Brother Lin's kindness, understand? Chu Boyu sour his teeth because of his words.
Gongsun Ling was stunned when he heard this, his mind didn't turn for a while, his eyes blinked, and he looked confused.
Lao Lin and his wife were actually a little reluctant, looking at Chu Boyu, both of them couldn't help but think of their only son, and they estimated that they were also similar in age, so they found some reasons, just to let them stay longer. It's just that Chu Bo insisted on leaving, and between retreats, Lao Lin and his wife couldn't force them to stay.
The two remembered Chu Boyu's words, saying that his brother and sister met a robber halfway, were robbed of their bags and entangled, and finally fled to their house, and now they have nothing to do, "Where are your brothers and sisters going down?" While speaking, Lao Lin's wife glanced at him, but Lao Lin just nodded and did not respond.
"Actually, it's just a casual walk, and I really don't have any serious plans." Chu Boyu made a casual expression, in fact, he had already calculated it in his heart, and took the opportunity to ask, "I don't know if there are any fun and beautiful places around here?" I heard that it was fun, Gongsun Ling's eyes lit up again, and he temporarily forgot the question he wanted to ask, and waited with his ears intently.
"Speaking of which, I think of it, my grandfather once said that in Jiuhua Mountain, Lingyang County, every 100 years, on the occasion of the beginning of autumn, there will be a Jin Immortal Meeting, which will bring together all the Taoists in the world to exchange Taoist patriarchy, and there will be martial arts competitions in each family during the period. But. β
Speaking of this, Lao Lin was a little ashamed, "I haven't seen these strange things with my own eyes, and I don't have this fairy fate." It's just that when I was a child, I heard my grandfather talk about it, counting the time, it should be this year. But he had really seen the Dao Bone Immortal Wind's Dao Master. Although I have always remembered it in my heart, it was not right when I was born, and now it is also the year of no confusion. β
Seeing the surprised expressions of Chu Boyu and Gongsun Ling, Lao Lin Hanhan laughed twice and said: "It's a joke for you to say it, these are all childhood fantasies, and now that I think about it, if I don't pay attention to the facts, it's a little naΓ―ve and inappropriate to be with you." β
"How come, which man, when he was young, didn't have a heroic dream of the world, but the world is unpredictable and impermanent, you and I are the same." Chu Boyu also aspired to be a general who galloped across the battlefield when he was a child, but later lived in seclusion with his family, and it became dim over time.
Gongsun Ling didn't think it was a joke, approached Lao Lin and asked a few words, that is, he wanted to go very much, and then looked at Chu Boyu with a look of anticipation.
Lao Lin's wife was opening a large wooden box next to the bed at this time, carefully took out two sets of clothes from it, turned to Chu Boyu and said: "These old clothes are what my son wears on weekdays, you two are of similar height, if you don't dislike it, you can use it for temporary shelter." On the side of the little girl, I also have some underskirts, which I was reluctant to wear in my early years, and now I can't wear them, so it's useless to keep them. β
"How good is this......
"Brother Chu, you can take it, my son, when he went out a few years ago, he wanted to do some errands in Wu County, but there has been no news so far, and it has been four years." As soon as Lao Lin spoke, the husband and wife couldn't hide their feelings for their children, and their eyes were already full of tears. In this situation, Chu Boyu's heart was not comfortable, and that scene of raging fire flashed in his mind again. Gongsun Ling also lowered his head, thinking about his life situation.
Lao Lin's wife went to pack his bags for the two of them, and Gongsun Ling went with him to help, taking the two sets of skirts given to her by Lao Lin's wife, and excitedly gestured a few times.
Lao Lin was a little awkward at this time, but he still said the words in his heart: "Brother Chu, my husband and wife have been in this small village for half their lives, and the only time they have been far away is that they have been to Wu County more than ten years ago...... Trouble ...... me."
Chu Boyu understood the meaning of his words, so he asked for his name and physical characteristics, and agreed. In fact, both of them understand in their hearts, not to mention that many years have passed, and the sea of people is vast, which is more difficult than looking for a needle in a haystack, but they can't bear to tell each other.
After Lao Lin's wife and Gongsun Ling wrapped and sorted out their clothes, they returned to this room, and the four of them said a few words of goodbye, and Gongsun Ling went out with some reluctance. At the end, Lao Lin's wife temporarily turned out a piece of broken numbness and wrapped a few large fresh raw sweet potatoes, so that Chu Boyu and Gongsun Ling could hold them, which could quench their thirst and satisfy their stomachs on the way. Gongsun Ling took the sweet potato, hugged Lao Lin's wife, and cried.
After waving goodbye, according to the route pointed out by Lao Lin, they bypassed the main road in the village and walked towards the mountain behind Lao Lin's house to Lingyang County. Lao Lin hasn't been there, but he just remembers the direction that his grandfather said, and he can only rely on the two of them to go all the way down to inquire in the later stage, only saying that he is afraid that it will take more than a month to arrive.
Because his eyes had been burned by the sun before, Chu Boyu kept walking with his head down, occasionally turning around to see if Gongsun Ling was keeping up, until he turned over the hill of Lao Lin's house overgrown with dwarf shrubs, and neither of them said a word.
