Chapter 22: Wandering the Rivers and Lakes
Yongmen Guang was anxious, hating himself for taking care of one thing and losing the other: "No, I, I really forgot!" He was not worried about the injuries of the two senior brothers, but he was afraid that he would lose the stone and was a noble friend.
"It turns out that you are a ruthless and selfish person!" Shi ignored Yongmen Guang and walked straight into the house.
"Forgive Niangniang!"
Concubine Shu fell into deep thought, and did not hear the sound of the stone, until the stone came near, and then came to her senses.
"Forgive Niangniang, that guy's two senior brothers are still in the inn, and they are dying!" Shi Shi didn't even want to mention Yongmen Guang's name now, "Look at if you want to save your disciple." ”
"Two senior brothers? What happened? ”
"Go and smash the field, get beaten by others."
"Someone dares to touch the people of Shennong Palace? The martial arts are high, and the courage is still big! Concubine Shu furrowed her brows, worried that the disciples of Shennong Palace would be involved in her if they caused trouble in the capital.
"Chiyou!" The stone glared and bared his teeth, revealing the terrifying look in his impression.
"Stone, you're telling me a story, aren't you? Didn't you just spend your ......?"
"Forgive Niangniang, anyway, I told you, your two classmates are waiting for you to save ...... at the Blessing Inn."
"Tell Imperial Physician Feng to come over and take my token! Tell him those two are your friends! Concubine Shu walked quickly to the wall and took out an embroidered phoenix yellow silk cloth package from an inconspicuous brown low cabinet, and the brand-new copper token inside was waiting to be revealed.
Shi and Imperial Physician Feng rushed to the inn. Yongmen Guang could only follow behind, and the stone had already kicked him out of the list of friends, and he was not allowed to walk side by side with him.
Yongmen Guang was very frustrated, he could not forgive himself for the mistakes he had made because of his lack of work, and he made up his mind to try his best to mend the damaged friendship.
Li Shilu took good care of Bao Tiannu and Li Zigang, did not leave a step, and wiped off the blood stains that suddenly flowed from them from time to time.
Imperial Physician Feng took their pulse and asked about the injury. After a few moments, he prescribed a prescription detailing the details of boiling and taking the medicine, and gave a thousand explanations that the wounded could not be moved for three days.
After Imperial Physician Feng left, Li Shilu also returned to Vashe, leaving only Shi Shi and Yongmen Guang.
"Okay, I should go too, you can do it yourself, take care of your senior brother!"
"Stone, I know you're blaming me, it's me who is wrong. I'm afraid that I won't be able to complete the tasks assigned by the master, and everything else will be careless. ”
"It's none of my business, I'm leaving!" Shi is actually soft-hearted, his kind nature does not allow him to be harsh on people, but he has to teach Yongmen Guang a lesson.
"Don't, you're the first friend I met in the capital, I don't want to lose your friend......" Yongmen Guang lowered his head, his voice was a little choked, both out of intention and intention.
"Don't, don't be like this, why are you a man crying?" The stone panicked.
"I didn't cry, I just ...... Sad. Yongmen rubbed his eyes, adding a bit of misery to the struggle for sympathy.
"Oh, I don't care if you're so sad that you cry or if you're so sad that you don't cry, you ...... Don't be sad! The stone stomped his foot hard, and he never faced an embarrassing situation.
"Okay, I'm fine!" Yongmen Guang raised his head to look at the stone, his eyes were bloodshot from rubbing, and there were imperceptible tear stains in the corners of his eyes, "Have you forgiven me?" ”
"If you two senior brothers can forgive you, I will forgive you."
"Well, I will not sleep at night for the next three days, and I will stay by their side and take care of them until they wake up." Yongmen Guang moved a chair and sat on the edge of the bed, and his firm will could penetrate the stone.
"Well, that's pretty much it." The stone left contented, secretly rejoicing in the salvation of a man's morality.
When he returned home, he was scolded by his father again without exception, and was also fined for copying 50 Tang poems. This time, Mrs. Li didn't help the stone either.
She finally realized that her husband's earnest persuasion was not unreasonable, and decided not to interfere with her husband's discipline of her son, so as to avoid the tragedy of "the son does not teach, the mother's fault".
Father and mother are on the same front, and the stone naturally has not had a good life. The playful maids were also sent to work in the kitchen, and Mrs. Li sent two wooden and clumsy maids.
Shi didn't expect that one of Lu You's poems could turn his life upside down, and while feeling the power of poetry, those neatly arranged squares and rhymes with the same attitude still did not capture his heart.
After two days of boring life as a scholar, early in the morning of the third day, the stone was awakened by the restless cells of the whole body. He can't stay home today anyway and has to sneak out.
Everything outside attracted him, the hawking in the streets, the hustle and bustle in the taverns, the chases in the alleys, and even those he didn't like.
He broke away from the stupid maid, sent the ubiquitous butler, climbed over the wall, and escaped from the cage.
Just as he was about to spread his fists and kicks and enjoy himself, the disciples of Shennong Palace appeared in front of him.
What happened to those two people? You should be awake, right? You won't have to worry about your life, will you? Will it be crippled? Then Yongmen Guang should have spoken this time, and didn't leave his senior brother behind, right? If he dares to be so unkind and unrighteous again, I will find someone to break his legs!
With so many unsolved mysteries never before in his birth, the stone came to the inn.
Bao Tiannu and Li Zigang were already awake, lying on the bed in every possible way, their tired eyes open, looking intently at the dirt-accumulating grooves on the wall.
Yongmen was busy before and after, serving medicine for a while, feeding medicine for a while, helping them turn over for a while, and wiping their sweat for a while.
Shi was extremely satisfied with Yongmenguang's performance, and his generous temperament made him choose to see the goodness of human nature, after all, Yongmenguang was not a vicious person.
He said to himself: "It seems that you can't beat someone to death with a stick, and some people make a mistake once, but it doesn't mean that this person is a bad person." ”
"Stone, you're here!" Yongmen Guang was overjoyed when he saw the stone, "Senior brother, let me introduce you to you, this is the stone that saved your life!" ”
Bao Tiannu moved his gaze to the stone, and the two distant eyes were slightly swollen, like toads in the field.
"Third Senior Brother, what do you mean by that? He saved us? He vividly remembered that it was the stone that led him to rush to the stage at Vasher, and he ended up in this fate.
In his eyes, they were a thorn in each other's side, and it was impossible for the stone to save him.
"Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, when you both fainted, it was the stone that stopped the person with the Chiyou mask, otherwise you would both have died at his hands! He also saved my life! ”
Yongmenguang's sincere explanation was detailed and clear, and he was afraid that the stone would not be able to see the bits and pieces he had done for him.
Bao Tiannu turned his head away and did not speak. Li Zigang had a good impression of the stone, and it was he who made him understand sumo and opened up a new world for himself.
"It turns out that your name is Stone, thank you for saving your life, and you will be rewarded in the future!"
"No, no! You shouldn't be bad at other people's rules, but you don't have to lose your life, I naturally can't let this happen, hehe! Stone felt like a hero, and he seemed to hear the endless cheers around him.
"Shi, you are the life-saving benefactor of our Shennong Palace, if you come to our Shennong Palace, our master will definitely treat you as a guest and look up to you with admiration." Yongmen's sincere eyes did not allow anyone to doubt.
"To your Shennong Palace?" Stone's eyes widened, and his mind was about to move.
Tortured at home for the past few days, he felt like a prison bird that had just come out of the cage, and he had never wanted to see the world so much. The farther away from the capital the better, the farther away from his parents as much as possible, their self-righteous concern overwhelmed him, and he wanted to live a completely different life.
"Is Shennong Palace interesting?" Stone eyebrows dance.
"Interesting! We have a lot of flowers, a lot of trees, and a lot of birds, and you can't see them in the capital. Yongmen Guang was excited, if Shi agreed to go to Shennong Palace, it would mean that the two of them would have more time to establish a deep friendship.
"What else?"
"Also, there are our people there, kind-hearted, simple and simple."
"What else?"
"We're quiet there, not as bustling as here." Li Zigang interjected. He thought that those who stayed in a quiet place would want to go to a prosperous place, and those who stayed in a prosperous place must also want to go to a quiet place.
"I don't like silence!" The stone did not hesitate to deny this merit of Shennong Palace.
Yongmen Guang stretched out a hand to stop Li Zigang from speaking again, and he hurriedly added: "We have a lot of streams there, you can go to spearfish!" ”
"Spearfish! Playful! ”
"And chasing wild boars, catching mice, and drilling tunnels!"
"Fun! Playful! Only then did the stone realize that he was shallow. It turned out that the interesting games, such as hide and seek with the maids at home, and the children of the princes and nobles went to the arranged paddock to hunt, and wandered from the street to the end of the street, all of which were overshadowed by Yongmenguang's description.
"I'll go with you!" He slapped the table hard, startling the leisurely sparrows on the windowsill, as if an earth-shattering deal had been born.
Before leaving, Shi did not forget to bring a concise letter to his family, telling them that he was going to explore the rivers and lakes, emphasizing that he would have friends in the rivers and lakes to take care of him, and they would not have to worry about it.
Bao Tiannu and Li Zigang's physical strength had not yet recovered, so it was inconvenient for them to work hard, and the task assigned by the master had been successfully completed, so no one proposed to work day and night as they did when they came.
The autumn wind at the end of September blows up huge waves, blowing off the yellow leaves, urging the autumn cicadas to bury the last batch of eggs on the broad-leaved sycamores until they hatch and break their shells in the next year to usher in new life.
From east to west, the autumn mood becomes stronger, and the twilight glows with the golden earth, like a skilled progressive color painting.
