Text "Chapter 22: Leaving Home"
Gu Changsheng, who was sitting on the gray stone in the shade of the tree, gnawed on the dry and hard steamed bun, and the old man not far away squatted on the ground and pulled something with the thin dry branches in his hand. The heat emitted by the scorching summer sun came through the green shade, and even the back of Gu Changsheng who was sitting in the shade of the trees was slightly sweaty.
Gnawing on the dry and somewhat hard dough bun, it was a little difficult to swallow, so Gu Changming picked up the bamboo tube with water on the side, and just wanted to put it to his mouth but saw the little green turtle lying on his knees drooping his head, so Gu Changming poured a little water in the bamboo tube on the turtle shell of the little green turtle, and put the dry bun in his hand into the burden next to him, the palm of his hand was slightly curved, and he poured a little water to form a small puddle and handed it to the mouth of the little green turtle, the little green turtle slowly licked it, although the little green turtle seemed to be a tortoise, it had hardly been put in the water since Gu Changsheng picked it up, but Gu Changsheng was also afraid that the little green turtle would be hot in such a hot weather。
The old man squatting next to him had long been accustomed to it, and his young master loved this green turtle very much. "Young master, the old slave is going to fetch some water again?" Although Gu Changsheng did not allow the old man to call him young master, nor did he allow the old man to call himself an old slave, but the old man still kept calling him like this, and after a long time, Gu Changsheng did not worry too much about this matter, maybe he was used to it.
"No, there will be a small river five or six miles ahead, and you can hold on a little longer. Gu Changsheng rejected the old man's kindness.
Gu Changsheng and the old man first met in the spring when the peach blossoms were falling, and now it is the height of summer. Gu Changsheng was reluctant to follow the old man to the royal city at first, and the old man didn't force it, just let Gu Changsheng think about it, and he lived in the town, but ten days ago, Gu Changsheng suddenly came to the town to find himself, and when he said goodbye, Gu Changsheng had already carried his burden, and he had a little green turtle on his shoulder.
The old man didn't ask Gu Changsheng why he changed his mind, since Gu Changsheng didn't say it, he wouldn't ask, as long as Gu Changsheng was willing to follow him to the royal city, the other old people didn't care. The old man's only concern now is how to smoothly bring the old man's second son back to the royal city safely and fulfill the royal order given to him by the king.
If you are alone, every inch of the territory of this dynasty can come and go freely, but it is not easy to take the second son of the master to meet the mountains and rivers, and walk through the forest and the river. In fact, the old man hoped that his young master would stay in that town for the rest of his life, and he would guard it for the rest of his life, but this was impossible, how could things be like this in this world?
Out of the town, out of peace. There may be not only the danger of the rivers and lakes, the battle of the temple, but also the game between the mountain and the mountain, and the game between the mountain and the mountain people. And it doesn't matter who is black and who is white in the chess game, what matters is the trend of the chess game and the pros and cons of the chess game. And he is a minion, and he is a good young master.
Besides, the son of the old man, where can the younger brother of the eldest young master be missing? It's just that he needs someone to be the stone that throws stones to ask for directions, can he do it himself? If he is not qualified, there will be more qualified people to do it, and it is not easy to find "body jade", and there are not many "stone-throwing children"?
Thinking of the eldest young master, the old man was a little relieved and a little distressed. The eldest young master is deep in the abyss for the deviant person, and enters the forbidden place of the four clans, the eldest young master is really heroic, the eldest young master is exhausted for the second young master, and he bears his life, and he suffers from the pain of the broken bones and cone heart all the time, this is the true filial piety. Even if the eldest young master's cultivation is completely lost, what if the road to heaven is broken? The broken knife man and the yin virgin are still pestered with dead faces? Aren't the hundreds of schools in the world rushing to get it?
The old man told Gu Changsheng about Gu Congsheng's entry into the West Abyss and was missing, but he didn't say the reason, but looking at the young master's appearance, he seemed to know something.
Thinking about it, the old man is worried about the way to the royal city, the spirits and spirits along the way are easy to say, before he came to spend a huge price to "reincarnate" this bone veil is also a good number, has washed away all the spiritual qi, but also his own years of accumulated yin qi cut away, now he is a real mortal body, the spirit of the road, some must be unavoidable, but these have been calculated, all solved. However, with this body, some little monsters who are not in the spectrum set, the mountain gods and earth lords are not easy to provoke, even if they are solved with this mortal body, they will not leak their essence to those who watch the mountains and rivers to catch their tails, saving a lot of trouble.
It's just that I don't know when I can reach the royal city, there must be people in the sky staring, and going up is to be a target for people, not to mention walking the dragon road underground. You can only hike to the county in this way, and continue to transfer from the county spirit boat until you reach Wangcheng.
This can't blame the king for being too careful with himself, it's just that the identity of the second young master is really special, and the whereabouts of the master are unknown, so he must be cautious. The most hateful thing is that there is a Heavenly Machine Sect in this world, and there is an old immortal in the Heavenly Machine Sect. The identity of the eldest young master was also leaked out by this old immortal, and the king can get it from his mouth if the master has a second son, then the others can.
However, he only needs to protect the young master from being eaten by other chess pieces, as for those who hold chess, they can't control their games, and they are not qualified to participate.
The old man was thinking about it, and Gu Changsheng's voice pulled the old man back. "Well, well, Lao Li, you," Gu Changsheng called the old man "Lao Li", Gu Changsheng originally wanted to call Grandpa Li, but the old man strongly refused, so Gu Changsheng called the old man "Lao Li", and the old man also agreed, a person like himself, if the young master didn't ask, he was afraid that he would not remember what his name was. The old man felt that Gu Changsheng had something to ask, but he wanted to say and stopped, so the old man took the initiative to ask: "Young master, I have something to ask, it doesn't matter, ask, as long as the old slave knows, he must know everything, and he will say everything." ”
Under the persuasion of the old man, Gu Changsheng finally said, "Lao Li, do you know how to fight?"
"When I was young, I practiced some boxing techniques, if the young master wants to learn, the old slave can tell the young master. The old man replied
"Well, Lao Li, I bought a set of boxing books in the town for two years, saying that it was to strengthen my body, and after practicing for two years, it seems that there is no effect, so, so I want you to help me take a look. Gu Changming made a lot of determination before he said let the old man help take a look, Gu Changming really didn't have the slightest confidence in this boxing method, but after two years of fighting, he still had some feelings.
"Oh, the young master has also practiced boxing, so quickly fight it out and let the old slave see, the old slave will always give you the palm of your hand, don't practice." Lao Li heard Gu Changsheng say this, and said that he was very willing to take a look.
The ugly daughter-in-law always has to see her in-laws, Gu Changsheng didn't twist, put down the green turtle, and quickly hit the side.
After watching Gu Changsheng punch again, the old man's face twitched, and he asked, "When did the young master start to fight this set, uh, this set of punches?" However, Lao Li still endured it very well, and did not let the flesh on his face twitch too obviously.
"More than two years ago, I would practice twice a day, which I bought for three copper coins. Gu Changming replied.
After hearing this, Lao Li finally couldn't help it and finally smiled.
"What's wrong? It's not good, or is it expensive?" Gu Changsheng suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he saw the old man's laughter.
Lao Li hurriedly held back his laughter, and comforted him: "No, the young master fights very well, but although this set of boxing methods has the effect of strengthening the body, it is not powerful, why don't you hand over the young master to set a more powerful boxing technique?"
"No need, since this set of boxing techniques can strengthen the body, then I will practice it first, after all, it took me three copper plates, and I have practiced for more than two years, and my brother said that you can't give up halfway. ”
Lao Li wanted to say something again, but he still couldn't help but didn't tell Gu Changsheng the truth. This set can't be called boxing, this is used by children to enlighten and strengthen their bodies, and it is useless when they are older. In the larger villages and towns, you can get it without spending a penny, and you can throw it all over the streets.
Lao Li scolded the liar again in his heart, causing his young master to work hard for two years in vain, and he couldn't tell the truth.
"Ahh A man in ragged clothes sneezed three times in a row, muttering who had scolded him again, disturbing his nap, and then turning over and falling asleep again in the shade under the eaves of an unknown house.
