Chapter 2 The Scholar Mu Feng
Mu Xue has some small thoughts in her heart, but when it comes to the end, she is still a little reluctant to her grandfather, since she was a child, she has been dependent on her grandfather, if she goes to practice, I don't know how long it will take to come back?
But when she saw Luo Lao's eyes full of Xiyi, Mu Xue still didn't want to disappoint her grandfather, and finally nodded and said to Mr. Zhang: "Mr. Zhang, I can promise to leave with you, but I have a small request, I don't know if I can say it!" After speaking, she looked at Mr. Zhang with a smile on her face.
Now that it's decided, I have to say the 'solution' I came up with yesterday.
When Mr. Zhang heard Mu Xue's words, he almost didn't think about it, so he hurriedly responded: "No problem, as long as you join the sect with me, don't say one request, even ten or a hundred requests are fine!" Obviously, Mr. Zhang was afraid that Mu Xue would regret it, if Mu Xue didn't go with him, then his sin would be great.
"Whew!" Mu Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and said secretly: "I didn't expect it, it's still quite smooth!"
Seeing Mu Xue like this, Mr. Zhang suddenly felt a feeling of being deceived, but the words had already been spoken, and it would be a bit embarrassing to regret it.
"Then tell me what the request is!" Mr. Zhang said cautiously.
"Oh, that's right, I have a scholar named Luo Feng, we grew up together, see if you can go with my husband?"
And Mu Lao, who was standing on the side, heard Mu Xue's request, and had a strange feeling in his heart, the relationship between Mu Xue and Mu Feng, of course he couldn't be clearer, Mu Xue went to practice, and he wanted to bring Mu Feng, which was understandable, but Mu Xue wanted to bring Mu Feng, I'm afraid it was not as simple as practice.
Mu Feng was picked up by Mu Lao in the city ten years ago, Mu Feng was only five years old at that time, and when he saw Mu Feng, he was squatting on the side of the street, his body was tattered, thin skin and bones, and he hadn't eaten enough for a long time.
Mu Lao looked at it for a long time, but he never found that this child opened his mouth to reach out to anyone to beg, just squatted silently on the side of the street, although he didn't open his mouth to ask, but there were still some well-wishers who passed by, and threw him a few copper coins, perhaps, he relied on these well-wishers to live until now!
Maybe it was out of pity, maybe it was a whim, so Mu Feng took him to the mansion and named him - Mu Feng!
Mu Feng and Mu Xue are the same age, similar in age, Mu Lao asked him to read and play with Mu Xue, after a few years, Mu Lao found that Mu Feng usually doesn't like to talk to others, and always looks unfazed.
But when he was with Mu Xue, Mu Feng would talk and laugh, maybe his childhood experience made him too calm, maybe he regarded Mu Xue as a real friend, so he could say a few more words in front of her.
Although the two were the same age, Mu Xue would always say in front of Mu Feng: 'I'm older than you, you have to listen to me in everything' and always like to tease Mu Feng, but Mu Feng never complained, because he knew that the current life was all given by the master here, and the young lady teased him, and there was no malice, so Luo Feng was always obedient to being teased by Mu Feng.
But Mu Feng was not angry, but Mu Xue was unhappy, every time, seeing Mu Feng after being teased by her, as if nothing had happened, he felt that his prank had no effect, so he wanted to tease Mu Feng more and more, which was also the life that Mu Feng had to face as the only playmate by Mu Xue's side, and a few years passed unconsciously.
"Okay then, you go and call Mu Feng and let me see!" Mr. Zhang heard Mu Xue's request, although he was a little surprised, he didn't care too much, and thought in his heart: "As long as Luo Xue joins the faction with me, even if she brings a mortal, it's not a big deal," Thinking of this, Mr. Zhang suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
After a while, Mu Xue brought the boy from yesterday, and the two walked together, one was cheerful and lively, the other was calm and composed, but it made people feel very harmonious.
Mu Feng's face was still indifferent all year round, even now, as soon as he entered the living room, Mu Lao hurriedly said: "Xiaofeng!
Mu Feng didn't dare to slack off, stepped forward quickly, bowed to Mr. Zhang, and said, "Mu Feng has seen Mr."
Mr. Zhang nodded lightly and said, "Mu Feng, right, stretch out your hand and let me see if you have any cultivation methods?"
Mu Feng stretched out his hand, and Mr. Zhang immediately put his right hand on Mu Feng's pulse, and the entire living room suddenly fell silent, and Mu Lao and Mu Xue both looked at Mr. Zhang with a little nervousness, especially Mu Xue, it seemed that Mu Feng's success or failure was particularly important to her.
After a while, Mr. Zhang withdrew his hand, but said with regret: "Although there is a spiritual root, the spiritual root is not visible, and there is no immortal fate!"
Hearing Mr. Zhang's words, Mu Lao sighed deeply, but Mu Xue's face was anxious, and said, "Then can he go with me?"
"This? But it's okay, but even if he goes with you, you won't be together often, you have different talents, it's impossible to stay together!" Mr. Zhang looked at Mu Xue's Xiyi eyes, a little helpless.
"Miss, I don't have to go, I'm fine here, it's not the same anywhere!" Seeing Mu Xue's eagerness, Mu Feng was also moved in his heart, although he was disappointed in his heart, he didn't show it on his face.
"No, I said that if you go, you will go, if you don't go, who will I bully if you don't go?" Mu Xue heard Luo Feng say this, and immediately feigned anger.
"Sure enough!" Hearing Mu Xue say this, Mu Lao suddenly understood, and glanced at the two of them with a smile on his face.
Mu Feng touched the tip of his nose, smiled bitterly, and was simply silent.
And when Mr. Zhang heard Mu Xue say this, he felt funny for a while, looking at Mu Feng, whose face was always calm, there was also a trace of appreciation in his eyes, "This son has a good heart, but it's a pity that the fate is not enough!"
Mr. Zhang saw Mu Xue's persistence, so he said, "Okay then! Let Mu Feng go with him!"
"Yes!!Great, thank you so much, sir!" Hearing that Mr. Zhang responded to this, Luo Xue suddenly rejoiced, and felt happier than going by herself.
At this time, Mu Xue was really happy, the little Jiujiu in her heart was finally realized, how could she not be happy?"Hmph, hmph! Boy, Miss Ben will take you wherever you go, and bully you wherever you go!haha!"
Mu Xue didn't feel much, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, his childhood experience made him mature far beyond his peers, but he still bowed to Mr. Zhang and said, "Thank you, sir!"
Mu Xue's wish came true, Mr. Zhang and Mu Lao's wish has also been fulfilled, the three of them were overjoyed and chatted happily, while Mu Feng, who was standing on the side, never opened his mouth again, and stood quietly aside.
And the active Mu Xue doesn't have so many scruples, and interjecting a sentence from time to time can make the two laugh.
Until a few people dispersed, Mu Feng returned to his room as usual, came to the bed and picked up a book under the pillow, sat at the table and read it carefully, this situation is one of the things he must do every day, although the content of the book has long been memorized, but this has long become a habit.
"Hanako's Travels ......"
This book, Mu Feng doesn't know how many times he has read it, this is since he was sensible, he has followed an old man named Hanako, and this book was also given to him by Laozi before he died.
Mu Feng still clearly remembers that when Lao Huazi handed this book to him, he also explained: "You have to keep this book well, remember not to let outsiders know!"
At that time, Luo Feng was too young to understand the meaning of this sentence, but he still remembered that this book could not be known to outsiders!
There are many strange flowers and fruits, rare beasts, and fairy notes recorded in the book, which is a world that Mu Feng has never seen.
But after so many years, Mu Feng has never been able to find anything peepy about this book.
The only thing that feels strange is that the last page of the book feels much thicker than the paper in front of it, and at first I thought it might be because the book was damp, and the last few sheets of the book were glued together, but I have been tinkering for many years, and without damaging the book, I tried all the methods that I could try, but it was useless, and slowly Mu Feng also let go of this matter.
Although he began to be a little dissatisfied with the old man's entrustment in his heart, as a dying relic of the old man, Mu Feng still carefully treasured it.
Mu Feng habitually flipped through the book, and his eyes kept turning with the turned paper, but in his mind, he was thinking about what happened today.
Mu Feng, who grew up watching the "Flower Travels", has always been full of yearning for the immortal world described in the book, but he has never had a chance, and today, this opportunity is finally in front of him.
Although it was because of Mu Xue, as long as you could enter that world, it didn't matter how you got in.
After thinking about it for many years, it will finally be realized today, how can Mu Feng not be agitated in his heart, but his identity and personality determine that he can't be as happy as Mu Xue, although Mu Lao and Mu Xue didn't treat him as an outsider, but he himself can't forget his identity, that is, Mu Xue's scholar.
The Chinese New Year is always the most lively time of the year, whether the poor or the rich, high-ranking officials or civilians, are busy buying New Year's goods, the rich do it, the poor do it simply, not the same day, but the festive atmosphere is still all over the city can be seen, a year's hard work, whether it is joy, sadness, happiness, sorrow, at this moment, everyone will forget all kinds of things, even if it is only temporary, but at least on this day they are happy.
Happy days always pass quickly, especially for some people, after this kind of shortness, they are faced with parting, and the sadness of parting sweeps away the aftertaste of joy, which is the case in Mufu at this time.
"Xue'er, when you get there, take good care of yourself, it's not like being in your own home, you know?" In the front yard of Mu Mansion, these few people were standing, and Mu Lao told Luo Xue with a loving face.
At this time, Mu Xue didn't have her usual naughty look, listened to her grandfather's words, nodded obediently, and said, "Don't worry! Grandpa, Xue'er is very well-behaved!"
