Chapter 29: The Wonder Old Man
After Jiang Yimu said goodbye to the two, he and Uncle Bai found an inn to live in the town, and added some necessary items for the journey.
In the time that followed, the trip went smoothly and there were no strange things on the way.
According to the plan, they crossed the lofty mountains and mountains of Shudi, and walked through the prosperous Jingzhou City extending in all directions, and finally arrived at Longyou Academy, which is full of peach and plums.
Uncle Bai jumped out of the carriage and came down to see the situation.
The map clearly shows that it is here, but I didn't find the entrance after a few turns. Uncle Bai flipped through the map, but he didn't come up with a result.
Jiang Yimu looked around, there were many vendors on the street, it seemed that he wanted to ask the local people.
"It's delicious and fun, my sugar man is the sweetest!" said an old man who was a candy seller, his face was embarrassed, he had no business, and he kept shouting hard.
Under the scorching sun, the freshly made rows of candy figures showed some signs of melting, and passers-by didn't look at him much. It's so hot, who is going to eat sweet and greasy sugar man!
Jiang Yimu was attracted to him and approached him.
"Girl, take a look at the sugar man, do you want to buy it?" The old man's old hand picked up a simple and lovely golden pig and showed it to Jiang Yimu.
Introducing her to her proud, his face full of anticipation.
Jiang Yimu's original intention was not to buy candy, but just wanted to ask for directions, and by the way, he gave a little silver taels to this poor old man.
Under the expectant eyes of the old man, Jiang Yimu took over the Golden Pig Candy Man.
"Uncle, I'll give you a little money, may I ask if Longyou Academy is here?"
"It is here that Longyou Academy, unlike other academies, is not located in the downtown area, but on this mountain, hidden in the dense forest and bamboo. The old man answered carefully.
"Can you show me the way?" Jiang Yimu didn't know the specific direction, so he had to ask the old man for help.
"I still have business to do here, and I can't get out. The old man said
"Then how much do you want to earn in a day, I'll give you twice the price. "It's just a matter of a few hundred words, compared with the time of enrollment, it is still worth it.
"Hmm~" The old man was still hesitating, reluctant to leave his stall.
"As soon as I leave, the place will be occupied by someone else. ”
The old man glanced at Jiang Yimu, and then turned his head to look at the candy man he made.
Uncle Bai felt that this bad old man was just an inch, and wanted Jiang Yimu to choose someone else to ask for directions. But I just can't stop it.
Could it be that the money he gave was too little, so Jiang Yimu raised the price again.
"You also work hard, how about ten times as much?" Jiang Yimu thought that it would be at most a tael of silver.
"Fifty taels of silver. Lao Tzu gestured to five, and said the incredible number that Jiang Yimu said.
"This person is really shameless, knowing that today is the day of admission to Jixia Academy, so he came to knock on the bamboo. "Uncle Bai understands that Jiang Yimu is not good at talking, so he did this wicked person for her.
Rao is Jiang Yimu is generous, but it is also a little difficult to accept. One hundred taels of silver can make an ordinary family live well in a year. One hundred taels of silver can buy more than a dozen acres of fertile land.
But the little golden pig that Jiang Yimu held in his hand was like a hot potato.
"Fifty taels for you. Jiang Yimu didn't want to argue with anyone, although he hated this old man a little, he still took the money.
Was the young lady too kind or too stupid, and she didn't stop it. Uncle Bai saw that the silver ticket fell into the hands of the old man.
"Can you take me there now?" Jiang Yimu asked with the unhappiness in his heart.
"Simple, go straight towards this intersection, and when you see a fork in the road, keep going to the right, and you will arrive in a while!"
The old man was lying on the ground, and his upturned feet shook very comfortably. The hand gestured to the approximate position.
"Just these two sentences are worth fifty taels?" Uncle Bai ridiculed the old man who sold sugar, which also said Jiang Yimu's true thoughts.
The old man plucked out his ears and thought: What do you know, you have to take advantage of such an opportunity to make money in three years.
"Thank you!" Jiang Yimu thanked him and left first, followed by Uncle Yuan!
"The people you follow don't have to go, Longyou Academy doesn't accept people as old as him. The old man said coldly in the back.
Uncle Bai was very hurt when he was suddenly mentioned, indeed, he was already an old man with half of his body in the loess.
"Miss, then I'll go back, you be more careful. ”
"The word that the master asked me to bring you can only help you until now, and the road after that will depend on you!"
Uncle Bai recounted what Jiang Lin said to him before leaving.
Jiang Yimu was seriously thinking about the words left by his father.
I can only help myself here, the previous family test was arranged by my father, so does the teacher's letter of recommendation also have my father's help?
Jiang Yi didn't know that the sudden change made her come to the outside world from a small remote place, and everything was so smooth that she felt very unsure.
I've always wanted to escape from that place, but now why do I miss it?
"I know, when I go back, tell my father that I'm fine!"
Uncle Bai and Jiang Yimu did some handover matters and went back.
Jiang Yimu has become a person again, and she is not afraid of loneliness.
Since I was a child, I have been alone a lot, and I will really only have myself in the future.
When he arrived at the destination, he was not in a hurry, Jiang Yimu went to the ready-to-wear store to change into a generous and decent beautiful dress.
I heard that the cultivation of Longyou Academy is very hard, and I don't know if I have enough to eat when I enter Jixia Academy.
With the mentality that he could no longer eat delicious meals, Jiang Yimu went to Juxian Building to have a hearty dinner before going to the entrance.
Before entering, Jiang Yimu looked around, the old man who sold sugar was gone, Jiang Yimu popped up with an idea, did he change places and continue to make profits?
Jiang Yimu walked in the narrow and long alley to know why he couldn't find the entrance before.
It turns out that there is an enchantment here, and no one will guide you to the way, so you will always go around in circles outside.
Although there was a bit of blood, the good thing was that the information I got was accurate, and I kept to the right, and there was no obstacle to the road.
Another right turn, surrounded by moss-covered stone paths separated by planted trees instead of red brick walls.
When encountering a fork in the road, Jiang Yimu kept walking to the right, and the flowers and plants on the way were particularly fragrant.
Jiang Yimu also noticed that there were still spring flowers that should not be there in this season and red plums in the cold winter wax moon, and they sped out their fragrance and bloomed their beauty.
All this is so peculiar, so that people who have never seen it yearn for it, Longyou Academy is really a magical treasure land, no wonder people all over the world flock to it.
Jiang Yimu continued to walk forward, and he had already seen that there was a wall at the end of the path, and turning right again was a round arch.
As long as you step through the door, there is a vast world waiting for you.
