Chapter 6: The Man in White Arrives
In the blink of an eye, time flies, and it is the summer of the third year of the great cause. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Yangzhou in summer is always very hot.
At noon, the birds stopped chirping, the insects stopped chirping, and all that could be heard was the occasional feeble cicada.
Although Hua Yu, who is more than seven years old, does not have the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, he is already a little handsome.
Since reading all the books in the village last year, Xiaohuayu no longer reads day and night as before.
In addition to a limited number of scriptures and classics in the village, the rest are more than a dozen ancestral medical classics, and Xiao Huayu has a good memory and has long been able to memorize it backwards.
However, most of the chapters and sentences in the book, Hua Yu knows the sound and does not know the meaning.
And in the village, except for the old lady and Du Yiniang who occasionally pointed him out, most of them made him realize, anyway, the people in the village only wanted to be literate and reasonable, and they didn't want people to go to the marquis to worship the prime minister.
Some time ago, the old lady Hua had nothing to do, so she took a few grandchildren to the river to fish.
When I first went, I was very interested, but there were a few children of this age who could sit there and fish with peace of mind, so after a while, they "ran away" and went to play.
The only ones left to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai were the old lady Hua and Xiao Huayu, Xiao Huayu's original intention was to play, but he didn't want to leave his grandfather alone, so he gritted his teeth and stayed, but his eyes still skimmed to the friends who were playing in the distance from time to time.
The old man naturally understood the little guy's thoughts, smiled slightly, shook the fishing rod, and said:
"Yu'er, come, close your eyes, calm down, and try to run the inner breath. ”
Xiaohuayu did so, and after a while, she opened her eyes suspiciously. The old man seemed to know his doubts, and said:
"Do you feel that your breath is a little different from your usual breath?"
Xiao Huayu nodded. The old man said again:
"The Recipe for Health is a magical exercise that can improve one's physique in order to achieve the most perfect state.
If you break through the Human Chapter, you will have at least 200 years of life, and even if you only reach the sixth level of the Human Chapter, you will have a 100-year lifespan.
But there are very few people who can break through the human chapter, why? The more you pay attention to the mind of the person who practices it, the more open-minded and the more calm the person, the easier it is to reach a very high level.
Reading and reasoning, fishing and meditation, watching the tide by the river, climbing high and looking far away are all conducive to people's spiritual cultivation.
The people in the village do not seek to make achievements, but only want to pass on the little things left by their ancestors, and you are the head of the family of this generation, so this responsibility is something you must bear.
You don't have to read every day in the future, come here to fish. ”
After speaking, he took a deep look at Xiaohuayu.
Xiao Huayu nodded as if she didn't understand, and said:
"Well, I know, grandpa, I'll come fishing every day from now on. ”
But I wondered in my heart, should the fish this catch be made into soup by my mother, or should it be better to roast and eat it directly??????
The old lady touched Xiaohuayu's head, then turned her head and continued to close her eyes and fish.
Xiaohuayu has its own example.
Since then, Xiaohuayu will take Xiaohong to the river to fish every evening, rain or shine.
Today, Xiaohuayu also came to the river to fish as usual, the sun shines on the river, the water waves surge, swinging and swinging, the river surface is sparkling, and then there is not far away The water flows, and the waves that hit the stones are scattered one by one, with a different sense of refreshment and tranquility.
Xiaohuayu fished quietly for half an hour, harvested more than a dozen small fish, and was ready to call it a day and go home.
At this time, a group of people dressed in white came on the road leading to the valley in the village, all with serious faces, and walked forward quickly.
If you look closely, aren't these the same people who jumped off the cliff more than a year ago?
Xiao Huayu looked at these strangers who were hurrying towards him with a little puzzlement.
No outsiders have ever been in the village, and Xiao Huayu is a little curious, but also a little vigilant.
When these people approached, Xiao Huayu asked:
"Uncles, who are you, have you come to our village for something?"
The leader was slightly stunned, he didn't expect to meet the children of the village here, but then he smiled and said:
"Little brother, we were entrusted to look for Mr. Hua Fei, I wonder if we can ask the little brother to lead the way?"
Xiao Huayu thought to herself: Isn't Hua Fei her grandfather?
I thought about it with some confusion:
"Alright, then you guys come with me. ”
After speaking, he led a group of white-clothed people to the courtyard of the Hua family's house.
Along the way, the leader kept asking Hua Yu about the affairs of the village, and Xiao Hua Yu had never understood the deceit of the human heart, how could he be his opponent, and soon told him all the information in the village.
When she arrived at the door of the flower house, Xiaohua Yu suddenly turned her head and said to the leader:
"Uncle, it's here, you wait a minute, I'll go and call my grandfather out, oh, my grandfather is the person you are looking for. ”
The leader hesitated slightly, but he quickly said:
"Okay, then we'll wait at the door. ”
After Xiaohuayu bypassed several courtyards of the front house, she arrived at the residence of the old lady Hua, who was closing her eyes on the recliner under the grape trellis.
Xiao Huayu didn't have any scruples, called grandpa and continued:
"Outside, there are more than 20 men dressed in white and armed with weapons, saying that they have come to you on the commission of someone. ”
The old man's eyes opened suddenly, and he said solemnly, "What else did they say?"
"Nope. Xiaohuayu replied.
The old man didn't ask again, but just muttered:
"No, it shouldn't be like this??????"
Then he suddenly stood up and picked up Xiaohuayu with a solemn face and ran out, this posture really didn't look like a seventy or eighty-year-old man.
When I arrived at Xiaohuayu's own courtyard, Xiaohuayu's mother was picking vegetables, and when she saw her father-in-law coming, she immediately stood up, but before she could speak, she heard the old man say:
"Yiniang, you immediately quietly take Yu'er and other children under the age of twelve in the village and their mothers to hide in the secret cave on the top of the mountain, and open the Four Elephants Great Array.
If nothing happens, I will contact you with the riddles of the clan, and you will come back then. If, I mean, if something happens, you've got to protect these kids. Remember the road? Yes, this is the key to the secret passage. ”
As he spoke, he took out a seemingly ordinary stone piece about two inches long, one inch wide, and one finger thick from his arms and handed it to Du Yiniang.
Looking at the appearance of this key, I am afraid that even if someone picks it up, they will only think that it is about to break the stone chips.
Du Yiniang took the stone and said:
"Dad, I remember. But what's going on?"
As he spoke, he looked at his father-in-law eagerly.
The old lady said in a deep voice:
"I don't have time to explain, you hurry out of the back door with the children in the courtyard, and then go up the hill on the path of the bamboo forest behind the village, I will try to buy you time, but it will definitely not be too long. Go quickly!"
As soon as he had finished speaking, he hurried to the door.
Du Yiniang stopped being verbose, pulled up Xiao Huayu, who had been frightened by this incident, and ran quickly to the other courtyards.
———————————————————————————————
The old lady hurriedly arrived at the gate, and when she saw the group of white-clothed people standing outside the door without moving, her pupils shrank. Then he clasped his fists and said loudly:
"Old man Hua Fei, I don't know what you are looking for the old man?"
The man in white in the lead returned the salute:
"Hello Mr. Hua, we are entrusted by Elder Ancestor Hua Tuo to welcome the nobles to Tianhua Sect. ”
The old lady was stunned for a moment, and then said excitedly:
"Are you saying that the ancestors are still alive? Hahaha, great, my clan has finally waited for this day. I wonder if Mr. has a token?"
The leading man in white took out a copy of the Analects from his cuff and handed it to the old man, who took the book and looked through it, and found that there was indeed a secret note in the village, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he asked:
"I don't know why no one from my clan came this time?"
The leader replied, "Mr. Hua doesn't know, the people in this domain have always been unable to enter once they go out, so the elder sent me and others here. ”
The old lady chatted with this person for a while, and there was no doubt in his heart, and he secretly sighed that he was indeed too careful, so he laughed loudly:
"Oh, the old man is really confused. Everyone, please come into the courtyard and rest, and I will immediately gather all the people in the village to discuss this matter. Haha, please!"
"Don't dare, Mr. Hua, please. The man in white in the lead said politely.
After a polite moment, everyone went to the door.
The old man was really resolute, took the group to the hall of the house, beckoned the people in white to sit down and drink tea, and then said to the old servant at home:
"Ah Cai, you go and gather the heads of all the families in the village to come here to discuss important matters. ”
Then the leader interjected:
"Mr. Hua, this matter needs to be handled quickly, and it is best to leave tomorrow, because this place will be more than a year away from the exit.
After a year and a half, the power of the seal at the exit will be reinforced, so we must go out before the seal power at the exit is reinforced, otherwise we will have to wait another hundred years. I hope the old gentleman understands. ”
The old man was also really surprised, and said in amazement:
"It's still so far away, in this case, I'm afraid there are many people who don't want to leave? And what's the matter with the seal you mentioned?"
"It's okay, the elder has already explained that there will definitely be some people who may not be able to leave their homeland, so he doesn't force everyone to go.
We will leave a map before we leave, and if anyone wants to go in the future, just follow the map.
However, Elder Hua Tuo had instructed Mr. Hua, as the patriarch, to go and bring the classics of the clan, as for the seal, well, Mr. Hua will understand when he sees it. ”
The leader is humane in white.
Old lady Hua thought for a moment and said:
"That's it, when my son and the young men in the village come back from hunting, we will discuss the matter, and we can set off tomorrow. Please wait a moment, and I'll go and let my wife know. ”
After saying that, he apologized to the man in white and went to the backyard.
