Chapter 2 - A lot of old things in my mind

After eating, Su Linfei helped the young kite clean up together, and there was nothing to do that day.

The square table in the main room has a lot of functions, in addition to being a dining table, reading books on weekdays is also here, an oil lamp is placed in the middle of the square table, the candle flame is flickering, and the childish kite holds a Confucian miscellaneous collection to read with relish, shaking her head from time to time, like a female master.

And Su Linfei sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and meditated, he couldn't see what he was doing, and the conditioning breath of the chivalrous warriors described in the book was the same, and the young kite felt that his young master was motionless, like a big turtle, and it was the kind of eternal turtle that did not move for thousands of years, but it was not strange to see it too many times, and the two of them got along basically like this at night, not disturbing each other, and doing their own thing.

Su Linfei sat quietly for an hour, and after opening his eyes, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, his eyes were clear and clear.

After a while, Su Linfei felt a little unable to read the book, and when he was bored, he looked at the flickering candle flame of the oil lamp, and remembered what happened when the two met.

When I met the young kite, it was on a snowy night two years ago, the snow was falling, and the roads in the town were covered with snow up to the knees, Su Linfei was going to sleep that day, but he heard a slight knock on the door in the yard, and when he opened the courtyard door, the young kite fell at the door of his house, and a thin layer of snow had accumulated on his body, and one of his hands still kept tapping the door.

Su Linfei was taken aback, and hurriedly moved it into the house, if it weren't for his good hearing, he would have to look at it when he got up tomorrow, and if he had to see a corpse, then he would be fucking unlucky.

Fortunately, the freezing time was not too long, Su Linfei lit a stove next to the bed, and his frozen body quickly eased up, but the snot kept running, and he fell asleep with his eyes closed and occupied Su Linfei's bed and quilt, so that Su Linfei could only make do with another bed where sundries were piled up on weekdays, but fortunately, he was in good health and did not freeze out of anything.

The next day was even more terrifying, Su Linfei just opened his eyes and found that the girl from last night was squatting next to his bed staring at him.

What happened after that made Su Linfei feel that this girl was frozen stupid, she had to say that she wanted to be a servant girl for him, and the third time scared him out of her mind, what kind of jokes, she occasionally couldn't eat, how could she raise another mouth to eat.

Su Linfei persuaded him in every possible way, persuading him not to be rash, just a rescue, in exchange for other people in the town, he didn't dare to say all, at least seven or eight times out of ten would lend a hand, he really didn't think about anything in return for doing good deeds, not to mention that he often had to be hungry, where was there a servant girl for this bit of belongings.

But the truth in this girl's heart is like a river, for a while, the grace of saving her life can not be repaid, and for a while, the grace of dripping water is reciprocated by the spring, all of them are the great truths of the sky, Su Linfei really doubts that this is a young lady in distress, how to understand more truth than the teacher in the town's school.

In the end, this girl from a foreign country said that Su Linfei, a person who had never been to school, said that there was nothing to say, so she had to temporarily take her in, this time it has been almost two years, although she has no idea of being a young master, when she has always regarded herself as a maidservant, at first a young master heard Su Linfei felt a pain in the brain, as for her name, The origin, Su Linfei didn't know what he had to do, and he still got the name of the young kite, so Su Linfei had to convince himself to treat her as a little girl who had lost her memory, just looking at her radiant spirits, where was the dazed appearance of the slightest amnesia.

Idle and bored, Su Linfei took the initiative to bring up a topic, "Childish kite, what is wrong with these foreigners, they are not at home for the New Year, and they come to our remote and dilapidated town en masse." ”

The young kite turned the page of the book in his hand without raising his head: "Then how can I know, these strangers are stupid and have a lot of money, young master, do you think we poor people can understand their thoughts?"

During the day, when she went out, she saw a lot of strangers, all of them dressed brightly, like rich and noble families from the city, and they were not ordinary rich.

Su Linfei thought for a while and continued: "I don't think it's that simple, there are no places of interest in our place, one or two people may be able to explain that some people's brains are extraordinary, but there are so many people coming together, and seeing that it is not a group of people, it feels like there is a plan." ”

Hearing this, the young kite put down the book and was a little more interested, "What is the young master's idea?"

Su Linfei said his thoughts, "I see that those people are all freshly dressed and angry, and their temperament is extraordinary, not like mortals, they must be cultivators on the mountain, I heard that those mountain people are just mortal New Year's Day, as for why they came to our town......" Su Linfei pondered for a while and continued: "Could it be that there is anything else in this broken small place that can attract the treasures of the monks on the mountain?" Then I think the realm of this group of people will not be so high, what treasures can there be in this broken place." In the end, Su Linfei's expression was already a little disgusted.

The young kite smiled lightly and reminded, "Has the young master forgotten the great fortune he said fifty years ago?"

Su Linfei was stunned for a moment, and then relieved, "Since there was already such a great fortune fifty years ago, it is impossible to do it again, right?"

"The world is impermanent, maybe it's really possible?"

In this regard, Su Linfei had an exaggerated expression on his face and joked: "If that's the case, I'm afraid this Daoxiang Town will be cut by the sky." ”

The young kite was amused by Su Linfei's exaggerated expression, and there was something thoughtful in her eyes.

Speaking of the great wealth of Daoxiang Town fifty years ago, it is still in the mouths of the older generation, after all, they were all parties back then, and they were also the key to Daoxiang Town's re-expansion from the village to the town, but whenever they talked about the end of that period of the past with high spirits, the tone was only regret and regret.

According to the legend, it is said that 50 years ago, when it was still Daoxiang Village, one day a villager was doing farm work in his own farmland, he dug up a herb that was in circulation, and took the grass to the county town to sell with a fluke mentality.

In this way, the whole village suddenly boiled, regardless of whether it was just a small probability event, every household gave up their own arable land not to have to fight, not to mention that there are really many shipments, rare and exotic grass exquisite appliances emerge in endlessly, suddenly the whole village became rich, and the livelihood of the village was also changed from farming to digging, and the whole Daoxiang Village was turned over thousands of times throughout the year, digging 30 feet of land, until there was no way to dig, and then stopped, and the wealth accumulated in the end was also extremely amazing.

At that time, Daoxiang Village was in the boundaries of Longchi County, not only in the county, but also businessmen from all over the country came to Daoxiang Village to do business, and more and more people gathered, and the prototype of the town was gradually formed.

Su Linfei's grandfather's generation is the aboriginal of Daoxiang Village, in other words, his ancestors have also been broad, but it has nothing to do with him, and his father's family is already dilapidated at that time, and he is the second lonely family in Daoxiang Village, and the first family is the Zhang family in Anmin Lane.

As for the reason, it can be said that the mood of getting rich overnight is inevitably a little unbalanced, and it is even more extravagant to spend money, the pure nouveau riche mentality, investing everywhere in industries that he does not understand, are all blood losses, and he is spending a lot of money in the casino, no matter how much money he can't afford to lose like this, he can at least keep a hundred years of worry-free family property, but it has bottomed out in six or seven years.

Daoxiang Town was originally poorer and poorer, it was just a matter of time, and the original rich were just the money they kept, but now they are still the rich and noble families in the town.

At that time, Daoxiang Town seemed to be the center of Longchi County, the entertainment industry was extremely rich, it is said that compared to the capital, it is not much more than the capital, I don't know how many villagers scattered their wealth in the gold cave, and became a villager again, it is ridiculous to say, after ten years of being a master, in the end, even their original farming work has forgotten to be clean, in those years, I don't know how many people can't accept the fact that they are looking for death, and how many people have no ability to make a living and starve to death.

"That's why blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. Su Linfei sighed, and then instructed the young kite: "The book says that everyone on the mountain does what they want, and they often do everything for the sake of an open-minded mind, so you have to be careful when you go out in the future." ”

The young kite quipped: "Is the young master afraid that after I am favored by the people on the mountain, he will leave with them? ”

"You can pull it down, I don't know how many pounds and taels you have. Su Linfei smiled.

"Not necessarily. The young kite blinked her big eyes and smiled brightly, but looking at the disdainful gaze cast by Su Linfei, the young kite quickly put away her smile and nodded seriously: "I'll be careful." ”

Looking at the young kite again, Su Linfei had to admit that over the years, there were baby kites and no baby kites, this family is very different, although Su Linfei has been trying to sweep her out of the house at first, although she is a little girl, the amount of food is really not exaggerated, more than Su Linfei eats, and he has to starve from time to time in his house.

At first, Su Linfei said not a prevarication, but a heartfelt fact, like the Chen Da Restaurant in Jilang Guanxiang before recruiting new maids, Su Linfei was like asking her to go over there, Langguan Lane lived in rich and noble families who kept their wealth back then, not only would they not starve when they were servants, but the salary and vacation they should have were even more, it was an extremely sought-after job, but the young kite refused to go to anything, and because of this, he had an awkward relationship with him for a while.

"My sister will probably be back in the next few days. Su Linfei said.

Su Linfei's sister is five years older than him, and has been away from the town for five years, not to go out to do business, let alone get married, but five years ago was taken out of the town by a white-clothed immortal who passed by Daoxiang Town, and went to the mountains to practice, and occasionally received one or two letters from home, although it was short, but it could report safety, just so Su Linfei already felt that it was enough, but a few of his friends, every time they heard that his sister sent a letter back, they were surprised, and his sister didn't send some money back.

The most recent letter I received was at the beginning of the year.

The young kite nodded, she had known about this matter for a long time, but she still hadn't made a decision, Su Linfei told her that after her sister came back, he would leave the town with her sister, to ask her about her plans, if she still wanted to follow him, Su Linfei would ask her sister to take her with her, if she didn't want to, she would say something else.

The young kite just said that he was replying to Su Linfei at that time, and Su Linfei was not in a hurry, after all, this matter was not a big deal.

Su Linfei opened the landscape chronicle that had not yet been read again, until sleepiness hit, yawning again and again, often as soon as Su Linfei opened his mouth, the young kite continued to yawn, reciprocating, as if yawning would be contagious.

After the night was late, the two of them said goodnight, Su Linfei blew out the candle, and then went back to their own beds, the young kite slept inside, the bed by the window was originally Su Linfei's bed, and Su Linfei slept on the outside bed, there was a curtain made of black cloth in the middle, and it was pulled up when he slept, separating the room into two independent spaces.

It was late at night, and most of the residents of Daoxiang Town had already slept, and those who had not slept were undoubtedly foreigners, lighting candles through the screen windows, and from a distance, it looked like a little starlight in the dark town.

The residents of Daoxiang Town did not know that this night, in the woods ten miles north of Daoxiang Village, there were swords and swords, colorful and chaotic, and there were also seven-colored glows, reflecting the earth as bright as day.
