Chapter 40: Wushan

Click, click

A bowl of rice was quickly pulled to the bottom by me, and the corners of my mouth were sticking to the rice grains, and I held up the rice bowl: Xiao Xizi, another bowl!

I hadn't eaten anything for two days, and after a fierce fight just now, I was really hungry, and I felt like I was hungry enough to eat a cow now.

In the end, I pulled three bowls of rice, and half a glass of white wine, my little face was crimson and crimson, it can really be said that I was full of wine and food, and my stomach was bulging, like a little toad.

Sixi and I sat side by side on the deck, the river breeze was blowing, and the whole person was much more energetic.

I burped and said with a sincere face: Sixi, thank you!

Thank you for what I do? Four happy eyes do not squint.

When I was most sad and helpless, it was you who reached out to me! Of course I want to thank you! I say this sincerely.

Don't be so pretentious! I didn't lend a helping hand to you, I just couldn't get used to your cowardly look! Aren't you supposed to hate me? When you are at your saddest, I still hurt you with the sharpest and meanest words? Sixi looked indifferent.

I smiled and didn't say anything more, I know the character of this guy Sixi, who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and looks cold on the surface, but in fact, he is still a very warm and kind person inside. Although his ridicule just made me very angry, although he had a fight with me just now, but when I calmed down, I understood that in fact, the reason why Sixi did that was purely to motivate me to stand up. I'm thankful to him because he really got me back on my feet anyway.

There is no grandfather, but life still has to go on.

I must live well, I want to make myself strong, I want to punish those bastards who killed grandpa!

Where is this? I asked.

It's already in the Three Gorges! Sixi said.

Did you get to the Three Gorges? I looked up and saw that the mountain walls on both sides of the river were steep and lush, and the emerald green mountain shadows were reflected on the river, as if I had walked into a beautiful picture.

The mountain is still the mountain, the river is still the river, but unfortunately the people are not the people they were at the beginning.

My young mind seemed to have matured and become strong overnight.

There is a good saying, if you are not strong, who will show you cowardice.

One day, I want the world to see how strong I am.

A few days ago, a group of four of us passed through the Three Gorges with a smile and laughter, and we also met a funeral fleet on the Three Gorges.

However, I really never dreamed that so many things would happen on this trip to Jingjiang.

I really don't know how I, who is only ten years old, should bear this unbearable truth?

Sudden Sudden Rush!

The funeral boat went to the shore.

Why dock? I asked curiously.

Wuxia has arrived! Sixi said.

I was even more puzzled: why did I have to dock when I arrived at Wuxia?

Sixi stared into my eyes: Xiao Qi, let's separate here!

Separately?! What?! Wait a minute! Sixi, this kid actually told me to separate? What do you mean? What exactly does he mean?

I looked at Sixi in a daze, and my heart trembled violently: You want to get rid of me?

It's not about throwing you away! Uncle Hu Zi turned off the engine and came behind me.

What does that mean? Why did Sixi say that he wanted to break up with me here? My voice raised an octave, and my heart, which had just fallen silent, became messy and manic again. In my heart, Sixi and Uncle Huzi are my last two relatives, and if even they have to abandon me, I really don't know how to live.

Uncle Hu Zi touched my head: The third master told me to send you to Wushan safely no matter what!

What are you sending me to Wushan for? I have no relatives and no reason in Wushan! I was surprised.

Uncle Hu Zi said: The third master said that there is a family surnamed Yan in Wushan, and he received his help back then, so he wants to send you to that family and let them take care of your growth!

I haven't met the Yan family, I don't know them well, what are I doing in other people's homes? I want to go home! I'm going back to Kawaguchi Village! I protested loudly, I didn't want to stay in this strange place, I missed the village of Hekou, I missed the familiar farmhouse that I had lived in for ten years.

Xiao Qi, you can't go back! Uncle Hu Zi categorically rejected my request.

Why? Hekou Village is my home, why don't I even have the right to go home? I jumped in a hurry.

Since the people of the Nine Sects want to kill us, they don't intend to let us go, if you return to Hekou Village alone, what if the people of the Nine Sects come to your door? Can you handle it? Uncle Huzi looked at me with blazing eyes.

I pursed my lips, lowered my head, and said two words very unconfidently: no!

Xiao Qi, this is your grandfather's decision! As your grandfather, there must have been considerations for him. As Uncle Huzi, you must follow your grandfather's instructions. As for you, I think you should go to your grandfather's deed! Uncle Hu Zi said.

I rubbed my hands together: why did Grandpa hand me over to a family I didn't know? It's okay if you don't let me go back to Hekou Village, Uncle Huzi, let me follow you, I'll go back to Jinsha River with you! You are my last loved ones, and I want to live with you!

Uncle Huzi was sad when he heard this, and hugged me in his arms, and his broad chest made me feel extremely steady.

Xiao Qi, it's not that Uncle Huzi doesn't want to take you, it's because Uncle Huzi himself is in danger, and it's not safe for you to follow me! Speaking of this, Huzi patted me lightly on the back: Okay, it's not too early, let's go ashore!

I was in a bad mood and walked ahead without saying a word.

Sixi quickly caught up: Xiao Qi, I can understand your feelings! But you have to know that this is the decision of the third master, and the father-in-law is also for your good, I hope you don't resent us!

I forced a wry smile: how could I resent you? I know you're all for my good, but I just can't accept it for a while! After all, if I suddenly go to live in a house I don't know, my heart is empty and bottomless!

Sixi breathed a sigh of relief: If you can think like this, it would be the best! Don't worry, since it is the person designated by the third master himself, it means that the third master has absolute trust in that family, and I believe that they will be very good to you!

I hope so! I sighed: I wish I was twenty, thirty years old now, so that I don't have to rely on anyone! I can survive on my own!

Time is fast, maybe when we meet again, you will be a young man! Sixi put his arm around my shoulder.

Boy, you have to live well, the people of the Nine Schools will not let you go lightly! I'm worried that the people of the Nine Sects are chasing after each other, and Huzi and Sixi will be in a dangerous situation in the future.

Don't worry, we'll take care of this! Sixi nodded.

You kid must practice diligently, your foundation is good, and you will definitely be able to become a super-first-class master in the future! I say.

Sixi rolled his eyes: I feel that you should say this to yourself! You have to remember that I am very diligent, and my skills will increase day by day, and when I see you again in the future, you must not be beaten all over the ground by me!

I smiled: Okay! Let's see who's beaten up by whom!

Ay! But I can make it clear in advance that I won't pull my hair again next time! It's like a scoundrel! Sixi said.

Well! Definitely don't pull your hair next time! Next time I'll catch a cock! I suddenly made a move to pick peaches by immortals, and I was so angry that I scolded: Geng Xiaoqi, if you don't learn well at a young age, you stinky rascal! Next time, you must add another rule, you are not allowed to attack the crotch!

Wushan County is located in the easternmost part of Chongqing City, the heart of the Three Gorges Reservoir Area, known as the gateway to the east of Chongqing, spanning both sides of the Wuxia Gorge of the Yangtze River, adjacent to Hubei Badong in the east, Hubei Jianshi in the south, Fengjie in the west, Wuxi in the north, and the county seat is located at the confluence of the Daning River and the Yangtze River.

Of course, we did not go to the county seat this time, but to the mountains, which are far away from the county seat.

At dusk, we finally arrived at the family surnamed Yan.

The natural environment here suddenly made my heart cool by half.

This is a primitive small village hidden deep in the mountains, the village is in a mountain recess, scattered with dozens of families, the traffic here is extremely closed, there is no traffic at all, the only means of transportation is their own legs. Looking up, the village is surrounded by towering cliffs and rolling green forests. There is no modern atmosphere at all here, backward, primitive and ancient, which is a true portrayal of this small mountain village.

The little hope that I had finally ignited in my heart was extinguished again.

I frowned in frustration, how could my dear grandfather bear to send me to this place where birds don't?

There are very few outsiders in the village all year round, so when we walked into the village, many of the villagers looked at us as if they were strange.

Uncle Huzi stepped forward to inquire, took us to the westernmost part of the village, and finally found the family surnamed Yan.

This is a boxy farmhouse courtyard, surrounded by fences, the house is made of bamboo stilted buildings, the shape is unique, the form is simple. There is a large bamboo forest behind the courtyard, and when the mountain breeze blows, the bamboo forest makes a noise.

Although the scenery here is beautiful, the strong sense of strangeness is so oppressive that I can't breathe.

I was silent and silent, sadly thinking that this would be where I would live next.

Is there anyone in the house? Uncle Hu Zi politely knocked on the courtyard door.
