Chapter 3 Leaving Home
Li Xuetian wanted to leave Hewan Town.
He "thought deeply" for a long time, and felt that it would be useless to stay in Riverbend Town all the time, and the eagle should soar for nine days, how could it shuttle through the forest like a sparrow!
"Mother, I want to go to Guiyun Sect!"
"Less dreaming, just help me do more work when I'm idle. ”
"Mother, I'm serious, my talent cultivation must be no worse than others, and I may be able to become the second Gu Shiyu in the future!"
Li Yuanshu pinched Li Xuetian's little face and taught a lesson: "Let you usually listen to people less often, you won't do business all day long, and you can learn to daydream!"
"Oh, mother, my face is pinched by you!"
Li Yuanshu let go of her hand and said to Li Xuetian: "If you really don't want to learn, then learn your mother's craft, and you will be able to eat in the future." ”
"I don't want it, it's something that girls only learn!"
What do girls learn? Her father and grandparents all learned to carve!
"Okay, you kid, this is a craft handed down from your ancestors, you actually have such an attitude, see if I don't kill you today!"
"Ah, mother, don't, I was wrong!"
Li Xuetian saw that his mother was looking for a stick to beat him, and ran all over the yard. I couldn't run, so I hugged her thighs and begged for mercy, and I was beaten with two sticks that didn't hurt or itch.
Li Yuanshu can't do anything about this son after all, he sometimes says something that is really annoying, but the pitiful eyes also make her feel very distressed.
"Mother, you're tired, I'll help you beat your shoulders. Li Xuetian saw that her anger had not completely subsided, so she hurriedly said obediently.
Li Yuanshu sat on the stool and glared at him angrily.
"I said mother, when will you help me find a younger brother or sister or something?"
“...... You're going to be down in the sky!"
"That's right, pick up another one just like you picked me up!"
"Come on, one like you is enough, wouldn't one more torture me to death!"
"Oh...... Does my mother want a Lan Mei'er like that?"
Li Yuanshu didn't answer him, she really wanted Lan Mei'er, but not as a daughter but as a daughter-in-law......
"What's the matter with you today, how did you think of asking for more than one sibling?"
"It's nothing, I just think it's fun to have multiple siblings. ”
Li Xuetian thought to himself that if he had a younger brother or sister, his mother would not be too lonely after he left.
......
In the evening of that day, Li Yuanshu made his favorite dish on a snowy day and waited for him to go home, and said in his heart: "This kid doesn't know where to go to the wild again!"
The night was getting darker, but Li Xuetian was still not seen. She was a little worried, in the past, no matter how playful Xuewa was, she knew that she would go home before dark, but today she didn't even see a figure.
Li Yuanshu went to the street and asked around if anyone had seen Xuetian, but everyone said they hadn't seen it. She was so anxious that she was about to cry, Xuewa was not smart in the first place, so she didn't ask the traffickers to abduct her!
"Widow Li, don't worry, when I came back from the dock this afternoon, I met your Xuewa on the way, he probably missed the time by being playful. An aunt talked about her meeting Li Xuetian.
When Li Yuanshu heard this, her heart was half cold. Xuewa has been talking about leaving Hewan Town for the past two days, but she hasn't taken it seriously, thinking that he is just talking. If he is gone, he must be caught and his leg broken!
She hurried to the dock and searched all over but didn't see Li Xuetian.
The dock worker said to Li Yuanshu: "There is indeed a half-grown boy wandering around the dock today, and in the afternoon he got on a merchant ship heading north. ”
She was angry and afraid in her heart, who borrowed his courage to run away from home! He didn't understand anything, and how much bullying he had to endure in such a world!
When she returned home, she saw Li Xue's parting letter pressed with a water cup in the heavenly room, which was nothing more than that he was going out to practice, and hoped that his mother would not worry and take care of his body.
Li Yuanshu was expressionless, changed into a set of smart black clothes, took off the beads on her head, tied her hair back behind her head, and took down a box from the top of the cabinet.
Inside the box was a scimitar, which her mother had used when she was younger, and had taught her several sets of knife techniques when she was a child, but she hadn't practiced it in years.
She walked out the door and handed the two dogs in the yard to the neighbor care.
"Widow Li, the child ran away on a snowy day, anyway, you picked it up, listen to the old aunt's advice, take advantage of the youth to recruit another son-in-law, how good it is to give birth to an obedient one!"
Li Yuanshu shook her head, she just wanted to tie Li Xuetian back now, although he was disobedient and not her own, but after raising him for so many years, how could he have no feelings.
She borrowed a horse from someone and went out of the city at night.
Workers at the wharf said that Li Xuetian's merchant boat was sailing down the Red River and would arrive in Rui County tomorrow morning. She was to ride to Ruixian overnight and capture him when the merchant ships arrived.
It was very unsafe to go out of the city at night, but she couldn't care so much, and all she was worried about was Li Xuetian's safety.
......
Li Xuetian boarded a passing merchant ship in the afternoon and went to his ideal world, not knowing what kind of feeling he would feel after seeing the cruel side of the world.
His mother had always warned him that people outside were very dangerous and that he should not have too much contact, but he simply thought that if he was kind to others, others would naturally reciprocate kindness.
He lay lazily on the deck, and now it was dusk, the sun was shining on his face, and the slight shaking of the hull made him uncomfortable.
"This mother should go home and see that letter!"
Li Xuetian thinks that he has grown up, and it is time to go out and have a good time, how can he hide under his mother's wing forever.
"I promised Lan Mei'er to go to Wuling to see her, but now I don't want to go, I have to go again, I have to cultivate better than her, then I will be majestic!"
The elder of the Guiyun Sect said that he still had some knowledge, and he didn't know if the blind man would be able to help him get his luck back when he arrived at the Guiyun Sect.
If the elders still looked down on him at that time, he could also pass the sect assessment and worship the Guiyun Sect, as long as he worked hard, others could join the sect, and he would definitely be able to.
Li Xuetian was full of confidence, and the scene of the life of the sect had already appeared in his mind, and a smile unconsciously bloomed on his face.
The boat passed through a turbulent current, and a slight jolt brought Li Xuetian back from fantasy to reality. It was still a long way to return to the Cloud Sect, and he didn't know if the silver taels he was carrying could support him to his destination. He put his hand in his arms, this is the pocket money he has accumulated over the years, and he thought, fortunately, he is thrifty, otherwise it will not be easy to go out.
Will his mother miss him?
Li Xuetian suddenly remembered his mother, sobbed slightly, and wanted to cry, after all, he had never left that place, he had never left his mother's arms, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
Can't cry! Can't cry! It's not a child, crying and crying!
He wiped away his tears, stood up, and stamped his feet, wanting to do something happy and forget about his thoughts.
