Chapter 6: The Test of Illusion (1)
The water vapor was filled, his eyes were blurred, a hand gently rubbed his head, and the water droplets on the tip of his hair fell into the hot water basin on the ground, splashing a little muddy splash......
"Is this where it is?" Gu Yun muttered to himself, trying to recall it, two memories intertwined.
"It's really crossed!"
In his mind, in addition to vague previous memories, there is also a clear memory: he is eight years old this year, his father died of illness when he was three years old, and his mother has brought him up with hard work for the past five years. Yesterday, the old village chief came to inform him, saying that he had agreed with the gentleman in the town to let him go to school, and that the gentleman was also from the village, and he saw them as orphans and widows, so the tuition fee was waived, and he usually helped his family do some farm work. No, his mother washed his hair early in the morning.
After a while, after grooming, his mother carefully sorted out his clothes, looked at him carefully, and said: "It's like a man, I have to study seriously." ”
As he spoke, he put the schoolbag on his back, which his mother had spent many nights making for him, embroidered with the stories of the sages, and contained the stationery that he usually bought with frugality.
The town is ten miles away from the village, and along the way there are birds singing and flowers fragrant, the brook is murmuring, the forests are lush, and the people in the fields are working hard.
"At the beginning of man, nature is good, sex is similar, habits are far away, sex is not taught, sex is migration, the way of teaching, you are specialized, former Mengmu, choose a neighbor, son does not learn ......"
When I arrived at the school, I listened to Mr.'s explanation, my mother's advice, Xiao Guyun worshiped the sages of the previous generation, even if he was a disciple who learned the way of the sages, Mr. arranged him to sit down in the first row, and he began to shake his head and began to read, his mother stood silently outside the window and looked at him, and his mother said that he was not busy today, and he went to school today.
At noon, the students who are close to home all go home to eat, only seven or eight families are far away from the small restaurant at the entrance of the school to eat, and the husband and the restaurant owner said that it is good that it is cheap for the students, a copper coin and a big bowl of noodles, and the return is that the boss's daughter can go to the school to listen when she is free.
"My little brother just came to school today. A little girl of eight or nine who had just entered the door of the restaurant asked.
Gu Yun hid behind his mother a little shyly.
"Yo, there's a new classmate here," a woman of about the same grade as his mother came over and greeted him.
"Yes, today is the first day, and I will have to take care of my eldest brother and sister-in-law in the future. Gu Yun's mother said, "Gu Yun, come and salute your aunt." As he spoke, he pulled Gu Yun to the front.
Gu Yun went over and respectfully saluted the proprietress in the past, and then said to the little girl: "Hello sister!"
"What a handsome little boy, so polite. The proprietress said, "Today is the first time to come, I don't have anything to eat here, some of them just said, I invite you to eat." ”
"What's so embarrassing, bring us two bowls of noodles. Mother smiled and took out two more copper coins, but the proprietress insisted on not wanting to, but she couldn't resist his mother, so she had to accept it.
Gu Yun had never eaten in a restaurant, he ate all his food in a few clicks, his mother watched him eat silently, and when he saw that it was gone, he was about to push his bowl over, but the proprietress saw it again, and hurriedly came over to block it, and took Gu Yun's bowl and filled it with a full bowl, and his mother wanted to give money, but the proprietress said that she didn't want anything. Gu Yun couldn't eat this big bowl of noodles alone, and finally shared it with his mother.
When he came home from school in the afternoon, Gu Yun was indescribably excited, reciting the "Three Character Sutra" he had just learned aloud along the way, and his mother followed behind, with a happy smile on her face.
In the blink of an eye, it had been more than a month since Gu Yun entered the school, and at noon that day, he passed by the door of the grocery store after eating and saw a young woman shopping inside.
"Boss, bring me the silk flowers. ”
"Miss is more beautiful when she wears this flower!"
Gu Yun looked over, and the woman really looked much younger when she put on the flowers, adding a bit of charm.
"How much does it cost?"
"Six copper coins. ”
"Six copper coins is enough to save six meals. Gu Yun secretly made up his mind.
"Gu Yun, why don't you come to eat and run there these three days?" said the boss's daughter, Sister Feng, angrily at Gu Yun, who was hiding in the school.
"I've had a bad stomach these days. ”
"You're lying, did my stuff spoil you?"
"No, no, I brought food from home. ”
"You little liar, if you don't tell the truth, I won't leave you in the future. Sister Feng twisted one of Gu Yun's ears and said.
Gu Yun had no choice but to tell the truth, and finally begged Sister Feng to keep it secret.
"Daddy and mother know that there is something wrong with your little liar, give. ”
Gu Yun saw that it was a baked cake, with several slices of meat sandwiched in the middle.
On the evening of the seventh day, Gu Yun returned home, and his mother had just brought the food to the table.
"Mother, I'll show you this. Gu Yun took out the silk flower to his mother and urged, "Mother put it on and show it to me." ”
The mother took the lace and put it on her head and asked, "Gu Yun, tell my mother, where did this come from?"
"This is what I bought for lunch for six days in my province?" Gu Yun said honestly.
"Are you hungry if you don't eat at noon?" asked the mother with an expressionless face.
"Hungry. Gu Yun whispered, and then asked, "Mom, is this flower beautiful?"
"It's beautiful, but it's not good-looking. The mother still said expressionlessly, "Let's eat." ”
"Mom......" Gu Yun took the rice bowl handed over by his mother, and his eyes were a little puzzled.
"The flowers are beautiful, and it makes my mother feel like I went back to ten years ago, but your hungry mother is heartbroken. Flowers are good-looking, mom stayed, this is your heart to mom, but staying doesn't mean that you are right, does it mean that mom doesn't wear flowers in your heart, mom is no longer young and not good-looking?"
"Mother is always the most beautiful ...... in her son's heart," Gu Yun sobbed.
"But you have given up your mother for the superficial beauty in your eyes, and you have exchanged the real feeling of hunger and the pain in your mother's heart for the pleasure of the moment? Mother appreciates you, this is the magnification of this evil, and your mother has punished you and failed you to live up to your heart for your mother, who will you dare to be good to in the future? ”
"Mom, the child knows......" Gu Yun sobbed.
Four years later, a swordsman passed by the town and saw Gu Yun's qualifications, although his mother was reluctant, but in order to let her son see the broader world outside, she still forced Gu Yun out of her arms;
Gu Yun followed the master to practice for eight years, these eight years, both in the cave of meditation, but also the experience of going out, Gu Yun is talented, grew into a peerless master, he missed his mother too much, so he said goodbye to the master to go home, the master understood his feelings, and let him go down the mountain after a few words.
The water of the small river, the willows are still around, the green bricks and green tiles, and the wine flag is fluttering.
"What a quaint town!" Gu Yun secretly exclaimed. Slowly walk along the street, feeling the charm of this thousand-year-old town.
"Kill you pariah, and if you don't pay today, I'll take your daughter to the top. ”
Gu Yun looked up and saw that there were three people in front of him fighting around a middle-aged man, and there was no one watching or talking about it, only occasionally seeing the anger in the eyes of people on the street, but it was only an occasional flash, and they all went to do their own thing, and no one dared to speak.
Suddenly, the man broke free, ran to Gu Yun's feet in a few steps, hugged Gu Yun's legs and said, "Hero, save me......"
"My son-in-law Wu Fei is the eldest disciple of the Tianlong Sect on Wulong Mountain, don't go to this troubled water. ”
"Tianlong Sect? I've heard of this sect, it's notorious in the rivers and lakes, and I didn't think it was here. Gu Yun said secretly in his heart, taking the man's hand away.
"Offended. Gu Yun clenched his fists and walked around the vicious slaves.
"Run, untouchables, who dares to save you?" said the evil slaves who surrounded them again.
"Useless coward, he has lost the sword he is carrying in vain. A voice like a yellow warbler.
"Crackling, fluffy, clicking...... Ah......h
Blood rushed wildly, teeth flew out, and the heart and lungs screamed in pain......
