Volume 1 The Caged Sparrow Chapter 16 Recess

The girl is nothing.

The young Taoist couldn't help but laugh.

The young Taoist suddenly realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and hurriedly changed the topic: "The young leaves of the Green Water Pond Dragon Scale Tamar, oh, it is called Sanchun Willow here in our place, and its leaves are not picked at the right time, seven or eight days late. There is also this pack of dragon flying grass, commonly known as the girl's waist, it is too sloppy when grinding the powder, and this paper pile of flowers, the Yang family shop is even more disagreeable, said three taels, why is there less weight of a penny?"

The young Taoist poured beans into the bamboo tube, picked a lot of faults, and almost none of them were satisfied, feeling like he had some personal grudges with the Yang family pharmacy, and finally came to a big turn, and the coffin was conclusive: "The conscience of the shopkeeper of this shop is eaten by the dog, but these medicinal materials on the table, decoction is enough to save people." Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that this Ning Yao girl has a good physical foundation, and she has a relationship with the Yang family shop at most half a copper coin. ”

The young Taoist patted his head, spread out a plain white paper, and while holding a pen to write, he advised: "I almost forgot, Poor Dao will write you a decoction prescription, this is a real meticulous work, Chen Ping'an, you can't be sloppy, this prescription is not only to heal the wounds, but also to consolidate the foundation of Peiyuan, it is the best way for soldiers to be invincible on the premise of fighting to nourish the war, and the good thing is that the temperament is warm, it does not hurt people, at most it takes more time, buy more medicinal materials, it is nothing more than a matter of spending money." When to fry in a hurry, when to fry slowly, the poor road has been written in detail on the paper, and even when the decoction is made, there is also a particular, in short, in the next ten years, Chen Ping'an, how hard you work, man, he is the one who carries the burden, otherwise how can there be a big husband who stands up to the sky......?

When he said the words "standing up to the sky and the earth", the young Taoist shook his head imperceptibly.

A pair of prescriptions is only half a piece of paper, how to decoction medicine is used on two pieces of paper, the font is very ordinary small letters, square, and well-behaved.

Chen Ping'an was a little anxious and asked, "Does the Dao Chief not care about things after that?" Is it safer for the Dao Chief to personally stare at this kind of life-and-death event?"

The young Taoist said helplessly: "Poor Dao is about to leave the town, there is a sect in the Nanjian country with this vein of Poor Dao, there is a ceremony to be held, and Poor Dao wants to see it with his own eyes." ”

Chen Ping'an was even more helpless, "Dao Chief, but I can't read!"

The young Taoist was stunned and said with a smile: "It's okay, Miss Ning can recognize the words, before decocting the medicine, you can ask her more about related matters." ”

The girl nodded.

Chen Ping'an still wanted to speak, the young Taoist suddenly remembered something, took out a green jade seal from his sleeve, small and exquisite, and sighed lightly on the printing surface, and then pressed it heavily on the paper where the prescription was written, and after lifting the seal from the paper, he was quite satisfied, and after putting it in his sleeve, the young Taoist handed it to Chen Ping'an along with the remaining two pieces of paper, "Keep it well, most of the books in the town are private collections, it is not easy for you to buy, if you really want to learn words, you can learn from the prescription of the poor road." ”

The young Taoist smiled at the girl: "A leaf of duckweed returns to the sea, where will we not meet in life." Miss Ning, will we have a meeting later?"

The black-clothed girl Zhengse said: "Daoist Lu, there will be a period in the future! Thank you for your kindness, as long as you need to help in the future, you can fly the sword to the inverted hanging mountain, but the Taoist chief remembers, don't forget to sign the word 'Lu Shen', otherwise the inverted hanging mountain may not allow the flying sword to enter the mountain gate." ”

After hearing the name of the inverted hanging mountain, the young Taoist was obviously a little surprised, and he stopped talking, the girl shook her head slightly, he quickly understood his mind, and no longer asked the bottom of the matter. There are some things that are better for the teenagers in the house not to know.

The young Daoist took the lead in leaving the house, not forgetting to take the young man's arm, "Chen Ping'an, Poor Dao will have something to say to you at the end." ”

Chen Ping'an put the package on the bed first, and told the girl in black that it was a newly bought dress.

After the two came to the courtyard, the young Taoist asked directly in a low voice: "With your memory, you must have already recognized the words on the first prescription, plus there is a reading seed living next door, the saying 'illiterate' is not the real reason for you to stop the poor road from leaving." ”

Chen Ping'an replied: "With the ability of the Taoist leader, he must know the reason. ”

The young Taoist smiled dumbly, "Do you think that you are going to die, so you are afraid that no one will take care of that little girl?"

Chen Ping'an nodded and said, "Since I opened the door at that time, I will be responsible for it to the end." ”

The young Taoist stood next to the cart, put his fingers together, and quietly wiped it, and the white-sheathed long sword that was pressed into the two-word sword qi by the Confucian Qi Jingchun quietly flew into the house, it should be that the girl in black did not want to scare Chen Ping'an, so she acquiesced in the arrogance of this flying sword. The young Taoist pondered for a moment, and when he was thinking about the problem, he would subconsciously stretch out a finger and tap the lotus crown on the top of his head, and finally said: "Before coming here, I heard a senior brother say that you must be reasonable in doing things, and you must be close to people...... In this case, it is not good to be too rigid and harsh, although everyone in the world has their own fate, but since the fundamental doctrine of the sect where the poor Dao is located, it is already deviated from the purpose of the general Taoist sect...... Meeting is already fate, barely a good fate, poor road may as well take advantage of the trend, the lottery holder and one hundred and eight sticks, can not be given to you, cause and effect is too messy, once you can't figure it out, and cut constantly, it's very troublesome. As for the private seal, it's a bit heavy, give it to you, once the town is not prohibited, all of them will be exposed in broad daylight, and the poor road is not harming you, alas, is it difficult to send some gold, silver and copper coins? This is inevitably too unsophisticated, too cheesy, where is the poor road embarrassed......

Unexpectedly, Chen Ping'an said categorically: "Chief Lu, if you send money, you are very particular and not cheesy!"

The young Taoist smiled playfully: "You don't understand the two things before, but you must know that the meaning is not small, why don't you ask for it?"

The young man said slowly: "A white bowl that can hold at least a large jar of water, a Taoist leader who can burn talisman paper to the elders of the underworld, a seriously injured and strange girl, and that bag of copper coins made of twenty-eight pieces of gold, it used to be said that we are very strange here, but now I have seen it with my own eyes, if I meet those two foreign men and women, I will definitely avoid all of you, and the door will not open today." ”

The young Taoist leaned on the cart and said in a deep voice: "That foreign woman, she pointed her finger at the center of your eyebrows, it is a subordinate work that forcibly opens people's tricks, and it is called ' in martial arts. For example, the door of your yard is not firm, right, she deliberately knocked with a hammer, of course the door can enter, but in fact, the foundation is broken, just imagine, in the future wind, rain, frost and snow weather, the person who opened the door, has long been smeared with oil on the soles of his feet, but you, the owner of the perennial living yard, what should I do?"

Chen Ping'an hesitated, "I can still endure hardships." ”

Looking at the straw sandals boy who didn't look like a joke at all, the young Taoist laughed and said: "This is the first time she has harmed you, if you have strong muscles and strong blood and blood, it is not difficult for you to live to be thirty or forty years old, and then she slapped your heart with the palm of her hand, which is the real fatal injury, not to mention the destruction of your body, and also cut off your path to immortality...... To be precise, you originally had a glimmer of opportunity left, with the great fortune of turning the world upside down and the universe upside down, you may not be able to continue to practice on the Great Dao, which is like a rolling torrent going straight down, there are countless dragonfish and shrimp in the river, and people who are lucky will have a big harvest, but even if the luck is the worst, others pick up the dragon, snake and turtle, he may be able to catch a small fish and shrimp or something. ”

Chen Ping'an did not have a shocked or panicked face, and stood there quietly, without even the slightest sign of pretending to be calm.

The young Taoist had neither appreciation nor belittling, and sighed softly: "Chen Ping'an, at a young age, it is not a good thing to look down on life and death." Do you think it's best to be alive, but if you really can't do it, God really won't let you live, and you won't be afraid of death, right? Because death is actually a chance for you to have hope for a reunion?"

Chen Ping'an did not deny it.

The young Taoist suddenly scolded: "Then have you ever thought about how you feel when they see you, even if you can be lucky enough to meet your father and mother in the vast and misty underworld?"

The more the young Taoist spoke, the more angry he became, and he stretched out a finger and poked the young man's head vigorously, as if he wanted to poke the elm head, "The white impermanence in the barnyard official history and the Zhiwei novels, with a high white hat on his head, whenever he comes to the yang world to detain the soul of a dead person, the dead man can clearly see the white hat with four big characters written on it, 'You are here too'! Chen Ping'an! Let me ask you, when your father and mother see you, will they be happy to ask you Chen Ping'an, 'Son, are you here too?' Can they still go to reincarnation with peace of mind?" Do you really think that there are a few people in the world who have the fortune of the heavens, and can be children or husbands and wives for the rest of their lives? Poor Dao will tell you plainly, don't think about it! Even those who can change the color of mountains and rivers with a single word do not have the ability to go through the sky, let alone you Chen Ping'an, a poor bastard who is precarious and has no full meals for three days?!"

In the end, the young Taoist spoke sharply and was extremely serious.

The boy was at a loss.

This is the first time in the life of a young man who has been sensible that he feels so frightened, and his hands and feet are cold.

The boy crouched down, holding his head in his hands, and this time he didn't scratch his head.

The young Taoist looked down at the thin figure, "That's it, in order to save people, the poor Dao owes you a favor, I thought it would be best to be able to repay the debt, otherwise the rest will be in the next life, and now it seems that it will be all paid back to you, and it will be cleared in the future." The first thing is to wait for Miss Ning to get better, take her to the south stream outside the town, and find a father and daughter surnamed Ruan, remember, you take her with you, otherwise it is useless for you to go a hundred times by yourself, after you go, even if you are dead and rolling, you have to strive to be their helper apprentice, whether it is digging wells and moving stones, casting swords and iron, you have always found a shady place to stay. In this way, Miss Ning can be regarded as paying off your favor, and you don't feel that you are taking advantage of others. ”

"The second thing is that after the fifth day of the fifth month of May, you have to often go to the creek under the covered bridge, pick up stones, catch fish and touch shrimp, whatever you want, in short, go often, when you are upset, when you feel inducted, you have to go, as for the harvest, with your little chance, God knows, but at least it is 'diligence can make up for clumsiness', if this is the case and there is nothing, you kid will accept his fate. ”

After the young Taoist said two things, he began to push the cart, and saw that the young man was still squatting still, just facing him, "Get up and help!"

After the young man got up, he went to help with the cart and asked curiously, "Didn't you say three good things?"

The young Taoist snorted coldly, "I told you a long time ago, I want to go!"

The boy was stunned.

After that, the Taoist told some more things.

"Those copper coins are very expensive, keep them. ”

"For the next period of time, go out less. ”

"Smile a lot, always have a long face, and don't look handsome, who do you kid show to?"

Talk endlessly.

The young Taoist is like an elder.

Getting the car out of the yard, the young man said that he came to push out of Mud Bottle Alley, and the young Taoist did not refuse.

Walking in the alley one after the other, the Taoist finally said: "There is a sentence, let's say it." Judging from the fortune calculated by the poor road, your father's early death is not your fault. ”

The young Taoist paused for a long time, until the cart was about to leave Mud Bottle Alley, and then he said softly: "Not only that, but your life has been bumpy, and you are still affected by your father. ”

The boy was silent.

In the end, the young Taoist insisted on not letting the young man see him off, and pushed the cart away from the east gate alone.

Looking back, the boy was still standing at the mouth of the alley, waving vigorously at him, smiling brightly.

It doesn't look like a dying man at all.
