Chapter 8: Nocturne's Farewell to Answering the Phone
Who said that the kindness he gave you should not be mixed with calculations?
My surname is Huang, the Tiyun Peak of the Changbai Mountain clan, my parents died early, and my younger brother is the only one left in the family to depend on me. The clan is very friendly, adhering to the clan motto of the young and the old, taking care of us, and often sending some food and clothing, so my brother and I have not suffered much over the years.
According to the rules of the Huang clan of Tiyun Peak, when the clan is an adult, they must go down the mountain to taste the sophistication of the world to experience, today is my 100th birthday, and it is also the time when I will go down the mountain to experience.
"Sister, is this going down the mountain?" Hanging his head deeply, he tugged at the corner of my clothes.
"Deeply, my sister went down the mountain to enter the world is to experience human nature, my generation has always been to turn into a human form for a lifelong pursuit, I have seen the fireworks in the world, more like the human race, in order to be able to cultivate diligently, soon you will also go down the mountain like a sister to experience, if you are really reluctant, but that is to find me." I knew he was reluctant to part with me, touching his head and comforting him.
"My brother has never been separated from my sister for too long, and I can't help myself for a while, which makes my sister smile."
"What do you and my sister talk about, but you have to remember my smell clearly, don't go down the mountain and see my sister and won't recognize it."
"How can you not recognize it, my sister can recognize it even if she changes a few skins."
"Huh." I shaved the tip of his nose.
"Sister!"
When I came to the door, I hugged me deeply and suddenly, then put my mouth to my ear and whispered, "I heard that a few of the seniors who have gone down the mountain in recent years have not been able to come back, and the clan has sent people to check and have not been able to find ······out anything."
"Where are you and who are you listening to?"
"This is what I heard from two clansmen by the Xiaoqing River at night, I don't know if it's true or not. Whether it's true or not, my sister is very careful. He buried his head deep in my neck and arched it, then let go of his hand and sent me out.
Because I was the most qualified junior in the clan in the past three hundred years, the patriarch and some of the elders sent me down the mountain to the mountain gate, and when they arrived at the mountain gate, they had to stop. At this time, the patriarch took out a lot of pills and handed them to me, and then held my hand and said: "Shen Shen, you are the leader of the new generation in my Tiyun Peak Huang Clan, the pillar of my clan. People's hearts are complex and unpredictable, and we must be very careful in our actions. "The patriarch is five hundred years old, but he is still forty years old, and his voice is clear.
"Don't worry, the patriarch has all the precepts for going down the mountain, and my aunt has taught her son."
"Words and deeds are superficial after all, and people's hearts and human nature can only be known by experiencing the sinister. For generations, my Huang clan has taken the incarnation of adults as their lifelong pursuit. But how many years have passed, and there are many people in the vein of Tiyun Peak, and there are few people who have people's hearts. No one has succeeded, and the crown peak of the fear sect is suppressed. "His worried look gave me a boost of ambition.
"Shen Shen is willing to taste the taste of peeling off the bones and changing the skin, and he will live up to expectations!"
······
Out of the mountain gate, I went back to see Changbai Mountain, thousands of snow and pines, straight mountains around the pond. This mountain range that has nurtured our entire clan is kind to us, and I regard it as a mother, and I am very reluctant to leave this time.
The Planetary Bazaar.
The market here is bustling, and although it is only a hillside village, it is bustling like a town in my aunt's mouth. Although the town is prosperous, but the more prosperous the place, the easier it is to gather capable people, not my best choice, but this village is more in line with my heart, there are many people, you can experience human feelings, adjacent to the mountain, if there is an accident, you can hide in the mountain.
"Gu Louzi—out of the oven—" The middle-aged merchant's shout dragged on for a long time, and as soon as the lid of the stove was lifted, the aroma of mutton and Hu cake gently penetrated into my nostrils.
"Hmmm!" I heard a small, audible sound swallowing saliva.
I want to eat, but I don't have the money. The Huang people can only carry basic clothes and rations when they enter the world, and everything else is earned by themselves in the world according to the rules of people - this is the first criterion of the Huang people's accession to the WTO: self-reliance.
Xu was with an urgent look in my eyes, and the merchant asked me, "Little lady, will you have one?" ”
"I ······"
"One more." A person next to him rushed to say.
"Okay!" The merchant replied simply, as simply as the sound of me chewing on an ancient building.
What, it's amazing to be rich.
I was annoyed, but I saw an ancient building wrapped in oil paper appear in front of me, and it was handed to me by the person who had just rushed to buy the ancient building.
My eyes were completely attracted by the imaginary ancient building, and I didn't have time to look at him, but I heard him say: "Look at the lady's clothes are probably foreigners, and it is not easy to go out. ”
I ate what I wanted to eat, and I felt warm from the inside out. When I saw him go into the village, I followed.
After walking for a while, he suddenly turned around and asked, "What are you doing with me?" ”
"Is there a shortage of painters in Lang Jun's family?"
······
Three days later.
The sun smoked drowsy, and I resisted the desire to stretch out my tail and swing freely, sketched the last stroke of the fan, and blew on the undried ink.
The trip to the world or something went very smoothly, but it was a different way of playing. On the first day of descent, I found a job as a painter. On that day, I followed Zhong to his house, he was a talented man who was preparing for the township exam. He said that his family was in the shadow of his ancestors, and that he was still wealthy in this generation, living in a courtyard with three entrances and three exits, and that the west wing where I lived was in the second entry, and that there were three servants and maidservants in addition to him and his wife. I said that I had nowhere to go, and that Zhong mistakenly left me to eat and live in his house. Of course, instead of eating white food, I will buy paper to make fan noodles. The fan was inscribed by him, and I painted. His handwriting is acceptable, my penmanship is absolutely novel in the world, and the contacts are all villagers, word of mouth, and the sales are considerable for a while.
After I finished drawing a fan, I took it to the windowsill to dry, and then replaced it with a new piece of paper to paint. This painting was for myself. In the painting, there are wild flowers everywhere, and there is a vague figure among the flowers, it is him, I recognized him at first sight, the little boy who fell and injured himself ten years ago. It's so big in a blink of an eye, and I've already got a wife. His wife Huang Ti is a beauty, like a hawthorn and begonia in front of the patriarch's door. I wanted to be close to her, but her eyes were cold and taught me to be timid.
Seeing that the ink was dry, I sent the newly painted fan to Zhong by mistake, and asked him about his acquaintance with her wife. Zhong mistakenly told me that he and Kong Niangzi had yellow hair, he was a child to pick up firewood and fell down the mountain, rescued by Huang Ti, and then separated for more than ten years, and now he is finally married.
I smiled and asked him, "Is there a token of love?" ”
"Naturally." Zhong Su also smiled and took out the hawthorn and begonia sachet I gave him.
