Chapter 51: Nightmare
Old Lady Gu lay on the bed, ready to rest.
Mother Hua hesitated for a long time and then asked, "Old lady, will we really go to the capital with my aunt and grandmother next year?" β
Old Lady Gu hummed and said, "Although it will be harder, it is better than staying here." β
If you stay here, you will really be alone, even if you have money, it will be difficult to survive.
Mother Hua also has concerns: "Old lady, if my uncle is admitted to the Jinshi and becomes an official, he will definitely be released, and we can't go to work together when the time comes!" β
Not to mention that my uncle may not be happy, even the old lady can't run around at this age!
Old Lady Gu smiled and said, "Qingshu wants to study!" When the time comes, I will stay in the capital to take care of her. β
Mother Flower asked; "What if my uncle doesn't agree to take my cousin to work?"
The old lady can't stay in the capital alone. If so, it is better to stay in Taifeng County.
Old Mrs. Gu was not worried, and said with a smile: "As long as Qingshu enters a good school, she will not follow her to the post." β
Qing Shu came back and saw that Mrs. Gu was still settling the accounts, and said with some distress: "Grandmother, why don't you rest at such a late hour?" β
"You haven't come back yet, how can I sleep?" If you are old, you will have a shallow feeling, and it doesn't matter if you go to bed late.
Qingshu thinks that she should go to bed early in the future!
In the middle of the night, Old Lady Gu was awakened by a small murmur.
'I can't die, I can't die......
Old Lady Gu's face changed in fright, and he hugged Qingshu in his arms and called softly: "Wake up, wake up." β
Xingyu, who was keeping vigil, heard the movement, and got busy lighting the lamp: "Old lady, what's wrong with the girl?" β
Old Lady Gu said anxiously: "Qingshu has a nightmare. β
After Qingshu was awakened, she began to be dumbfounded, and when she came back to her senses, she hugged Mrs. Gu and cried loudly: "Grandma, grandma, ......"
Old Mrs. Gu gently patted Qingshu's back and said softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, grandma is here." β
After crying for a long time, Qingshu calmed down: "Grandma, I had a nightmare that two nuns were going to kill me. I ran and ran, and I couldn't get rid of them. β
"It's just a nightmare, don't be afraid."
Qingshu knew very well that this was not a nightmare, but something she had experienced in her previous life. The Lion Nunnery was heavily guarded, and she took advantage of the heavy snow to escape down the mountain, and when the people of the nunnery found out, they sent two nuns from the nunnery to chase after her.
said to be a nun, but in fact it is similar to a thug. She was overtaken by two nuns, one of whom was angry and tried to strangle her.
If it weren't for her luck and happened to meet a noble man who went up the mountain to worship her deceased mother, the other party saved him with compassion for a while, and she would have died on the mountain at that time. If she had died, she would not have been able to kill the animal to avenge her daughter.
Thinking of the pain and powerlessness when he was pinched and couldn't breathe or struggle, Qingshu clenched his fists and said, "Grandma, I want to practice martial arts." β
Old Lady Gu saw that she was scared like this, how could she not agree: "Okay, good, grandma will invite the martial artist tomorrow." β
After coaxing for a long time, Qingshu fell asleep again.
Mrs. Gu asked Mother Hua with some concern: "Do you say that this child is under too much pressure to study, so he has such a nightmare?" β
Otherwise, how can you dream of being chased and killed.
Mother Hua was silent and said, "Old lady, I think I should be scared by that poisonous woman." β
The girl's face is not obvious, but she is so young that she is not afraid of hearing such a thing.
Old Mrs. Gu regretted a little when she heard this: "It's just that it's too cheap to kick her out." β
"Fortunately, the poisonous woman has been driven out, and the cousin girl will not have nightmares if she does not need to see her in the future."
When he got up the next morning, Qingshu said to Mrs. Gu: "Grandma, you promised to ask the master to teach me martial arts last night." Grandma, you have to talk the talk. β
The old lady was stunned: "Do you really want to practice martial arts?" β
"Yes. Grandma, I want to practice martial arts, and I can protect myself when I encounter danger after I have a nest worker. After a pause, Qingshu said again: "My mother told me before that the daughter of the rich family, if she practiced martial arts, she could protect herself and would not be killed by bandits." β
When Mrs. Gu was young, she also followed Mrs. Gu to the north and south, so she was not a pedantic and stubborn person, she knew that the girl had learned martial arts, and the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.
However, Mrs. Gu shook her head and said, "Your mother won't agree." β
Gu Xian wanted to teach Qingshu to be everyone's lady, and she would definitely not agree to let her practice martial arts.
Qingshu hugged Mrs. Gu and said, "Grandma, just don't let my mother know." β
"You can't hide it for a while."
Qingshu shook Mrs. Gu: "Grandma, you promised me." Grandma, if you promise me, you have to talk. β
Old Mrs. Gu couldn't cry or laugh: "Don't shake it, if you shake my old bones again, you will fall apart." β
"Grandma, promise me, it's too dangerous to be bandits and thieves outside. I have practiced martial arts, and I will not be afraid of danger in the future. β
Old Lady Gu couldn't resist it, and her tone softened: "It's okay to find a master for you to teach you martial arts, but it's very hard to practice martial arts, can you guarantee that you won't give up halfway?" β
"Grandma, I'm not afraid of hardship."
is not afraid of hardship, what she is afraid of is being manipulated by fate, and she doesn't even have the ability to resist.
Old Lady Gu smiled and said, "Okay, you can go out with me after breakfast." β
Qingshu was surprised and delighted, and asked, "Grandma, you already have a candidate?" β
The person who can enter her grandmother's eyes must be a person with strong martial arts.
The old lady nodded and said, "There are candidates." However, it is unknown whether the other party accepts you as an apprentice. β
Qingshu pestered Mrs. Gu for a while before she told her the details of this person.
This person's surname is Duan, who used to be the head of the Huichang Dart Bureau in Jinling, but left the Dart Bureau and returned to Taifeng County because of his injury.
Old Madam Gu said: "Master Duan is strong in martial arts, but his temper is a little strange. After he returned to Taifeng County, many people admired him, but he rejected them. β
Qingshu realized that her grandmother didn't want her to practice martial arts at all. However, because she promised that she was not easy to refuse, she found such a person who did not want to accept apprentices to make her retreat.
"Grandma, how high is Master Duan's martial arts?"
Old Madam Gu thought for a moment and said, "I heard that when they were darts, they met water bandits, and Master Duan killed more than ten water bandits by himself. After this incident, as long as Master Duan came out, the bandits would have no shadow. β
Although it is peaceful today, there are also bandits and water bandits. These people are uncertain and hidden, and the government cannot eliminate them.
One person singled out a dozen, and they were all fierce bandits, and I knew that this person was powerful when I thought about it.
Qing Shu made up his mind to worship Master Duan as a teacher, even if he only learned the other party's two percent ability, he could protect himself.
Old Lady Gu smiled when she saw Qingshu's appearance. This kid is still too naΓ―ve, if Master Duan is so easy to understand, how can he not confiscate the apprentice until now.
