Volume 1 The Years in the Mountain City Chapter 17 As young as he was young
During the summer vacation, Ling Lang didn't even stay at home for a week.
Mother and sister together, both went to Yangcheng to work, my sister became a hotel waiter, my mother is not young, can only be in the kitchen to type, help to work.
Fortunately, the two younger sisters are very strong and have fully undertaken all the farm work and housework in the family - washing and cooking, feeding chickens and ducks, herding cattle and pigs, planting vegetables and picking plums, and when they are sick, they do not cry or make trouble, and take care of each other. At a young age, with fragile shoulders, you have to shoulder the responsibilities that should not be borne at all at this age. It's just rice and grains, it can't be planted, and after my father is gone, the grandfather, who used to be as brave and powerful as a buffalo, slowly began to hump on his back, and he couldn't help much. Grandma is also getting old, and her smile is gone. The younger brother Ling Jie does not follow behind his friends of the same age, goes up and down the mountain and down the river to dig birds' nests, catches voles, and does not argue for money to buy snack robots. After finishing his homework, he will help his two sisters and do what he can, and outsiders will say that he is sensible, but he doesn't talk all day.
As the eldest brother, Ling Lang really wanted to stay at home, do more for this family, and share more. But Xu Fuzi informed him on the phone and asked him to go to Panzhou to find Chen Lao immediately after seeing his family. He also vaguely said that some people have begun to notice him, be cautious, leave the center of the whirlpool, the sooner the safer.
In desperation, Ling Lang had no choice but to pack his bags and set off again. The results of the entrance examination gave Panzhou Normal enough reason to accept him, and then passed the vice principal Gao Mingyi's point. Ling Lang was arranged to work at Panzhou Normal University - night patrol and gatekeeper.
The job is very simple, and Ling Lang also has a "colleague" - the original school's doorman - Lao Yangtou.
Two people are divided into two shifts, and if they have nothing to do, they just walk around to prevent some small thieves from climbing over the wall and harming the campus. Although the campus has never been the object of these people's patronage, it is difficult for anyone to say that safety is paramount, and during the summer vacation, the students are gone, but there are still a small number of teachers living on campus. Therefore, the main area they inspected was the three or two pieces near the teacher building and the laboratory building, which sounded like they were worth a little money.
Because he was young, Ling Lang took the initiative to take on most of the night patrol tasks, and for this reason, Lao Yang Tou praised Ling Lang as a good guy.
On this day, after dinner, Ling Lang came to the grass next to the school playground without pulling a single piece of grass, put it in his mouth, lay down, and closed his eyes. I can't help but think of what happened that evening, on the playground of another school, on another piece of grass.
"The head teacher said that you will leave the school after the end of this term, is it true?" Peng Xueqing asked herself to come out, originally to ask about this matter.
"Yes. He grabbed a piece of youth grass and put it in his mouth to chew, and the grass juice with a little green spread to his mouth, which made him feel a little soothed.
"Why? Didn't you say you were going to take the Wuhan University exam? I remember what you said. Peng Xueqing lowered her head, she didn't know why she suddenly had so much courage to call out the boy in front of her.
"For home, probably. He knew that Peng Xueqing also took Wuda as her first choice, just for the sake of a cherry blossom rain falling on the white skirt under the 1,000 cherry blossom trees?
"I know about your father, I'm sad, I'm sorry. Peng Xueqing didn't know why, her eyes suddenly turned red.
"It's okay, it's gone. Peng Xueqing, if you are admitted to Wuhan University in the future, I will go to see you. How?" He finally realized that he couldn't do the whole thing indifferently. It is difficult to be thin, it is difficult to gain and lose, it is difficult to ask for it, and the most difficult thing is not to ask for it.
"Remember to write to me. The girl in the floral skirt walked away with the bell, and the back of the running clearly hid her face and wept.
I don't know where there was a guitar sound, someone singing softly, "In those old times that have passed, our stories are scattered in the sunset, and in those who have missed the departed crowds, our stories are scattered in waiting...... The powerless oath made her drift away with the wind, and the departing crowd became farther and farther away......"
Ling Lang even thought of another girl, thinking of Luo Qionglan, he had regrets, thinking of Peng Xueqing, his heart ached.
Summer dreams are long, autumn is short, I don't know how many springs go to winter, who will remember whom, just like forgetting, just like youth.
"Hmph, the man's husband is such a daughter. It's unbearable to make ......" A cold voice suddenly sounded in the soul body, which really startled Ling Lang, he sat up suddenly, and looked up, the moon was already on the treetops. Wiping the corners of his eyes, I felt a piece of wetness, did I cry just now?
"Saint Emperor Guan, are you talking to me?" After cleaning up his mood, this was the first time that Saint Monarch had spoken directly to himself, but he was in a trance just now, so Ling Lang was a little uncertain.
"Hmph, get up, and walk over to the house in the west-east direction. "Maybe he chose such a host for himself, and he felt that his face was gloomy, and the Holy Monarch Lingnian didn't have any more enthusiasm for Ling Lang, and his tone was still arrogant and cold.
Isn't that a library? But Ling Lang didn't dare to ask more, and knew that Lingnian wouldn't harm him. Just be on patrol.
The campus is not too big and the library is not too far away. But the door to the library was closed, and it was impossible to enter without a key.
"Emperor Guan Sheng, this ......"
"Not there, the woods on the right. ”
At a glance, it was dark, and faintly, only the shadows of the trees were swaying.
"In the past. I had no choice but to turn the flashlight to the brightest and carefully walk into the bushes.
When I got closer, it turned out to be rows of cypress trees, and I couldn't help but mutter, this is very rare on campus.
The land on the side of the library is not very large, and the twenty or so cypress trees are almost crowded, stepping on the leaves that have not been cleaned for a long time, and making the sound of rustling silkworms biting mulberry leaves, which makes people feel furious.
When you go a little deeper. "It's here. When the cold voice started, Ling Lang, who was already much bolder than ordinary people, got goosebumps all over his body. I felt like I was dressed in a coat of frost.
When I raised the flashlight, I seemed to see a peach tree, no, three, three old peach trees.
The old peach tree has thicker stems than the average new peach, and the tree has a peculiar shape and dense branches. I saw that the big branches stretched horizontally, the small branches obliquely bent out, and the branches were staggered, full of antiquity.
Three peach trees are planted in a triangular shape, two in front and one in the back. Take a closer look, under the three peach trees, there is a clothed mound, there is a stone tablet in front of the mound, and there is an inscription on the stone tablet. But because of the age, the stele has been very dilapidated, in addition to the stele Yang Zhengshu "loyalty, righteousness, martial spirits, benevolence, bravery, and majesty Xianguan Holy Emperor", can barely be recognized, and the rest of the stele inscriptions have been completely unrecognizable.
The streamer flashed lightly, and a tall "figure" with red phoenix eyes, lying silkworm eyebrows, three strands of beautiful hair, and green robe and golden armor suddenly appeared. But it wasn't the Saint Monarch's soul body, who else could there be? Ling Lang clearly felt that his soul body was still there, and his spiritual thoughts had reached the point where he could manifest himself alone?
"You don't need to be surprised, I have been sleeping in the land of spiritual energy for two thousand years, and with your blood yuan as a guide and soul nourishment, I can naturally reach today's realm, but there is nothing to be happy about, less than half of the previous one. "It's no wonder that Guan Gong's face is like a heavy jujube, and he can't fully manifest it, so it's like this.
Since the fourth grade, Ling Lang began to contact the four famous novels, especially the favorite "Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West", Ling Lang in his mind to this "at that time the righteousness and courage poured into the Three Kingdoms, the ancient ancestral hall all over Kyushu" Guan Sheng Emperor, must be regarded as understanding, this "person" in front of him can be described as a gathering of loyalty, righteousness, faith, wisdom, benevolence, courage, and even as a representative and symbol of loyalty, righteousness, and bravery, the hometown of Guan Sheng Emperor is also very worshipped, although there is no special temple, but the daily burning of incense and prayer for blessings is also a god who must be respectfully invited. It can be regarded as one of Ling Lang's favorite historical figures.
But legend has it that when he really faced it directly, even if he knew that it was only his remaining soul thoughts, Ling Lang felt that he didn't dare to breathe more. I only feel that there is boundless majesty under the tall "body".
"I know your current predicament, if it weren't for the fact that the hundred-year-old incense here still exists today, thinking of your brother and brother-in-law, you would never come out rashly. But you don't need to be too frightened, I've done something of my own to keep you safe. "The martial saint prince who once commanded three armies, stationed in one state, and confronted the two countries, how could he be a short-witted person?
Although Ling Lang wanted to say something, he only sighed and couldn't speak.
Guan Gong Shengsoul didn't care about him, closed his eyes to himself, and didn't speak, as if he was recalling the past and reminiscing about the past.
I don't know how long it took, Ling Lang felt that his legs were a little numb.
"In the future, you can come to this forest to practice the exercises, there are capable people here, with the five elements of the technique, set up a formation, can be used to protect luck, and it is also useful for covering up the aura on your body. ”
"A few days ago, the two of you who helped you, although the exercises are usable, there are also a lot of flaws, I can make a little correction to help you. After speaking, he saw a look of hesitation on Ling Lang's face.
"The great husband is in the world, and if you either advance or retreat, and you have already entered the game, how can you say that you will retreat? Blindly evading and retreating will only suffer the catastrophe when the catastrophe comes, and you will have no strength to struggle. I want someone to be in China back then, looking at China, and never flinching. Now that I trust you, you will not tarnish my name. Between the words, there was a hint of anger, deafening.
Although Guan Gong's holy soul seems to be a bit mysterious, these days he tosses and turns, thinking about it. Xu Fuzi and Chen Lao's arrangement was naturally out of good intentions, and Ling Lang naturally didn't dare to have any objections, but he also felt that it was not a way to go on in the long run, especially when he heard Xu Fuzi say that someone had already investigated him, and he had to be forced to leave Yudu County, and he didn't even dare to spend the summer vacation with his family. It's really a lot of trepidation.
But Ling Lang knew that even so, it was still difficult to avoid being touched by others to find himself or his family. At that time, what could you do to protect yourself and protect them? You can't rely on the protection of the second elder for the rest of your life. Some things, not afraid of 10,000, only afraid of just in case, and this in case, the probability of appearing is far more than 10,000.
Only if you are strong enough, it is the most fundamental defensive weapon, and Emperor Guan said that there is no way to retreat. If you have to pay too much price, those who have peeps at him will not dare to start easily and unscrupulously.
Just as he was about to communicate with Guan Gong Holy Soul in depth, he suddenly heard a voice outside the forest.
"Alas......" The white light flashed, and the holy soul returned to the body at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
The sound before leaving, with a hint of helplessness and unwillingness. After all, a person as arrogant as Guan Gong would have to flee when he heard it today, if it wasn't for the protection of him Ling Lang, why wouldn't he be like this?
Ling Lang didn't rush out immediately, after all, in the middle of the night, he suddenly got out of the woods, and it was not good to scare others, even if he met someone he knew and was asked, it was not easy to say, which only increased his troubles. After the sound passed, he slowly walked out.
Glancing left and right, there were no pedestrians on the road, it seemed that they had gone far, so as if nothing had happened, Ling Lang continued to patrol the night. But in my heart, I have already decided that from tomorrow, late at night, I will come to this Guan Gong Tomb and exercise my soul body with Guan Gong Lingnian.
