Chapter 459: If you can, you should spend your life being a clean person
The wooden hut by the stream looks a little simple, but the furnishings inside are very complete, and it looks like they are all handmade.
The room was lit with an oil lamp, and the light of the fire illuminated the simple and neat arrangement of the room, and a slightly thin figure was fetching water by the stove.
Gu Nan walked up the steps in front of the door with the fish frame in his hand, and said to the people in the room in a warm voice.
"Qi'er, I'm back."
The man in the room turned around.
In the firelight, her white hair was pale, her cheeks and the back of her hands had been mottled by the years, and her figure could not hide her old age, slightly rickety.
Seeing Gu Nan, she chuckled lightly on her face and said in a somewhat hoarse voice.
"Master."
lit the fire on the stove, made some food on the fish that Gu Nan caught, and the two of them talked about today's ordinary things without saying a word.
However, most of them were Gu Nan talking, and Lingqi sat on the side and listened with a smile.
Gu Nan said to Lingqi that the stream in the mountain had risen again, and she could be taken on a rafting trip that day. He also said that the flowers in the forest are about to bloom, and you can go to enjoy the flowers in a few days. He also said that there have been more birds and beasts in the forest recently, and it is very lively.
Finally, he talked about the young man he met today who didn't say that she was an immortal, and while talking about Gu Nan, he complained about where he looked like an immortal.
Lingqi smiled and said nothing, in her opinion, the master looked like an immortal everywhere, but he didn't look like an immortal anywhere.
A dinner meal passed in such a bland atmosphere, but Gu Nan still seemed to be unsatisfied.
She knew that Lingqi was running out of time, so she listened to her say those ordinary things, so she cherished every bit of time and tried to tell her everything she wanted to say seriously.
After dinner, Gu Nan took Lingqi to sit outside the house, looking at the mountain stream flowing by the side of the house, and the bright moonlit night.
Draped a coat on Lingqi's body, Gu Nan sat beside her, watching the round of clear moonlight, reflected in the stream swaying.
The moonlight in the water was poignant, but she could only watch it from afar, and she couldn't stay.
Lingqi was a little tired and seemed to want to lean on Gu Nan's body, but when she turned her head sideways, she saw Gu Nan's appearance, looked at herself again, and didn't lean on.
Gu Nan saw these in her eyes, she stretched out a hand and slowly wrapped her arms around Lingqi's shoulder, letting her lean on her shoulder and hold her palm with the other hand.
The palm of the hand in his hand was cold, Gu Nan lowered his eyes, and after a while, he raised his head with a smile again, and asked with a gloomy look at the night in his eyes.
"Qi'er, have you ever blamed Master, maybe I shouldn't have come to you and Xiu'er again at that time."
If that's the case, maybe they'll have a better place to be.
"Nope." Lingqi almost didn't think about it, shook her head and said softly. Feeling the palm on his hand that had never changed before, he smiled lightly.
From that street, when Master gave her three copper coins, she was the only one who chased after Master.
It's just that Lingqi clenched some Gu Nan's hands.
She didn't know who would be able to accompany the master after she left, and who would be able to come and speak for her and listen to the master.
Gu Nan adjusted his emotions, and said with a relaxed smile pointing to a forest in the distance.
"That's the forest I told you, when the flowers bloom in a few days, let's go together, bring some food, bring some tea"
The murmuring of the stream flowed through the peaceful night, and the human voices faded away in the sound of the flowing water.
It was already night, the moon in the sky was faint and faint in the clouds, birds were singing from the mountain where the academy was located, and there were a few fallen leaves on the stone steps in front of the gate. At the bottom of the stairs, the young man walked leisurely towards the gate of the academy.
By the time Ji Kang reached the door, the gate of the academy was closed.
Looking at the closed door, Ji Kang smiled bitterly and patted his forehead. He lived in the academy, but at night the academy was closed and he couldn't enter again.
Well, it's skipping class anyway, and it's not bad to stay home for more nights.
At night, it was clear in front of the gate of the academy mountain, and Ji Kang raised his head to look at the stone statue in front of the door by the moonlight.
In the evening breeze, she still stood there. With a hat and a bookcase.
Ji Kang smiled, straightened his clothes, and bowed respectfully.
"The student returned late, and I hope Mr. will not blame him."
Naturally, no one would answer him, but Ji Kang still bowed for a while before straightening up. After looking around, he walked to a tree on the side and sat down on the steps.
It was a little cool to sit directly on the ground, but Ji Kang didn't care, leaning against the trunk of the tree, ready to spend the night here.
Still not sleepy, Ji Kang looked at the silent mountain gate, and suddenly said to the stone statue in front of the door.
"Sir, today the student met an immortal."
In fact, he didn't know if he was an immortal or not, he just longed for that kind of life, where he could sit alone in the mountains and forests and not be disturbed by the world.
But he can't be like that, it seems that his background determines that he seems to have to be an official, and he has to be an official to be an act.
"The immortal stroked the piano in the mountains, attracting countless birds and beasts, and I went with the birds and beasts, and I heard the fairy sound. Looking for the sound and walking, I saw a person fishing by the mountain stream and playing the piano and making music, and the birds and mountain deer gathered, as if entering the isolated fairyland, and unconsciously sat quietly for a day. ”
Ji Kang was fascinated by today's observations and experiences, and at the end, he spontaneously smiled.
"This should be the appearance of an immortal, right?"
Why is an immortal called an immortal, because he is not bound by the world, and he is called an immortal when he is free from the world.
So in Ji Kang's opinion, even if the person he met today was just a person, he could be called an immortal.
What he wants to be is that kind of person, a clean person. Clean when you come and clean when you go.
But now he is in the middle of a crowd, and he doesn't know the way.
If it goes on like this, in the future, he will enter the official career, enter the temple, and be covered with fireworks, where will he come from?
"Sir." Under the tree, Ji Kang turned his head to look at the stone statue.
"How did you walk through this world so that you could keep your heart like a mirror and not stain the dust?"
The stone statue stood there silently, not answering him, and Ji Kang shook his head.
"Student, I don't understand."
On the second day, Ji Kang was seen sleeping at the door of the college, and the students passing by saw him sleeping dead, and most of them smiled helplessly and walked away.
There are all kinds of strange people in this academy, some go to the mountains to throw stones, some use a stove to burn things all day long, some people carry some wooden shelves and fiddle around, and so on. In contrast, it is not surprising that a man sleeping in front of the door is not surprised.
Ji Kang was finally woken up by the gentleman of the academy and punished him for cleaning the mountain gate for three days.
This was not the first time for him, so he went and grabbed a broom and swept it up.
Later, his friends asked him where he had been all day, and Ji Kang replied with a smile.
I went to be an immortal for a day.
(I'll try to be as brief as possible to answer some of your questions, so you don't see them here.) First of all, Ji Kang was born in 224 AD, so the current time is around 242 AD.
As for the question of the early years of the Wei State mentioned earlier, the rule of Zhenguan was decades after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, but it also belonged to the early Tang Dynasty, and the Wei State in this life has changed, so it is now called the early years.
Finally, there is the question about the deer, it may be that I didn't write clearly enough to make everyone have so many guesses, in fact, this deer can be said to be an incarnation of the way of heaven, including waking up Gu Nan and asking her why she no longer took a closer look at it in the world.
It can be regarded as the only person who watched Gu Nan all the way. You don't have to worry about it affecting the plot, the way of heaven in this book is more like a witness-like setting) 2k reading network
