Chapter 2 Caokeng Village
Caokeng Village, located in the Tianheng Mountains, has dozens of villages in this area.
The village is not very large, with more than 100 households and more than 500 people.
There are two major surnames in the village, Zhong and Su, whose ancestors settled here hundreds of years ago.
The houses in the village are made of boulders and mud inside and outside, and they are connected from house to house, and the winter nights are quiet, peaceful and quiet, and the lights are dim, as if they are cut off from the outside world.
Ordinary people's homes, simple and ordinary, the hall in the house, the lights are bright, the furnishings are simple, a wooden table, a few wooden stools, two bamboo chairs, and a desk, the desk is clean and clean, and it is neatly placed full of books.
In front of the desk, a young man, no more than twelve or thirteen years old, holding a thick ancient book in his hand, was reading very carefully.
He was dressed in gray plain clothes, dressed very simply, with black hair and clear eyes, but he was just an ordinary teenager.
What a touching story!
Su Chen sighed, put down the ancient book in his hand, and finished reading this book, but the record in the book is over?
The story of the girl and the teenager, this is the end?
He looked different, and seemed to have reacted, and the cover of this book was written in a few big characters, clearly writing "The Legend of the Warlock".
It seems that the ancient book was taken by mistake?
How did the book become "The Legend of the Beautiful Love of a Boy and a Fox"?
Could it be that the book is a copy, or is it an impostor?
However, there are some magicians in this book?
Although Su Chen was puzzled in his heart, he couldn't help but think: "Could it be that in the world, there really is an existence of a magician?"
What is a sorcerer?
According to ancient texts, the magicians are a group of almost god-like beings who exist in the world in a way that is difficult for mortals to understand.
They train themselves in a certain way, discover their hidden potential, constantly break through themselves, break the principles of heaven, and practice against the sky!
Vast supernatural powers, flying away, unpredictable, unthinkable, doing impossible things, breaking the common sense that ordinary people know, is called a magician!
......
How big the sky is, boundless, how wide the earth is, how vast and boundless, how deep the sea is, unfathomable, this land is called the ancient desolate continent.
Since its birth, the human race has always regarded itself as the master of all living things, and has been fighting endlessly, leading to the extinction of many species. And the human race is still, doing its own thing, proud of the world, and self-righteous.
In the ancient barren continent, there are many strong people, martial arts are fashionable, the weak eat the strong, and strength is respected.
Caokeng Village is a remote and remote place, but it is only one of the ten or hundreds of villages under the jurisdiction of Jiangxia City.
For hundreds of years, the people in the village have relied on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water, they are very poor, there have always been outstanding talents, they can step into the martial arts, but there are only a few people, some can do kung fu, as for the magicians, they are all hearsay or recorded in the book.
Su Chen has lived in Caokeng Village since he was a child, and he has never left the village, but he is always curious about the outside world, and he cares about it in his heart.
Suddenly, at this time, an old man walked into the house and came in.
The old man was not tall, his hair was gray, his face was full of wrinkles left by the years, and his gentle eyes looked at Su Chen on the desk, and he smiled kindly.
Su Baidong, who has lived in Caokeng Village for more than 70 years, is one of the few people who has walked out of Jiangxia City, and in the eyes of the villagers, the old man is a well-informed person.
"Grandpa!"
After seeing the old man, Su Chen shouted softly.
Then, he hurriedly stepped forward and helped the old man to sit on the wooden bench.
The old man looked at Su Chen, his face was full of smiles, and he said in a calm tone: "Child, have you been reading for a long time, don't be too tired, you know?"
This is a kind old man, although he is usually strict with Su Chen, he is also very looking forward to and doting.
Su Chen has been lonely since he was a child, his background is pitiful, and his parents have been missing since they went out seven years ago.
Grandpa and the people in the village had inquired about Su Chen's parents, but they had no clue, and disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea.
Therefore, Su Chen and his grandfather have always relied on each other, and the two have lived together.
"Grandpa, I'm not tired, I've been waiting for you to come back, I must be hungry, I'll go cook now!" Su Chen responded with a smile.
The old man nodded, showing his white teeth, and said, "It's true that some of them are hungry, but today, I fought with Lao Ye for three rounds, and I won two of the three games, and my grandfather won." ”
At this moment, the old man seemed to be very happy, and he smiled proudly in his heart.
Su Chen nodded and praised: "Haha, it's still grandpa who is amazing, his chess skills are outstanding, and there is no one in the village to compare." ”
After finishing speaking, Su Chen walked out of the house, turned back and said, "Grandpa, you rest for a while, and I will call you to eat later." ”
There is nothing wrong with saying that poor children are in charge of their families at an early age.
Immediately, Su Chen walked to the room on the left, he was not very old, but he was very skilled in the kitchen, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, cooking, after a while, the meal was cooked, and it was served in the living room.
An old man and a child, you can imagine that life is hard, life is weekdays, if it is not for the relatives and friends in the village to take care of it, I am afraid that life is extremely difficult.
Although the days are hard, but they have finally passed, life can not be chosen by themselves, ordinary life, naturally know self-sufficiency and happiness, if life is not ordinary, his life is destined to be extraordinary.
After the meal, although the old man was old, but chattering and chatting about today's words, Su Chen did not feel bored, but was highly anticipated, quietly listening to the old man's teachings, and his heart was extremely happy.
After a long time, the night was already deep, the old man had already slept, and Su Chen was still reading.
A book has a story, a story, narrating a life, a life, and a world.
There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book, reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, this is the truth.
Su Chen has been smart since he was a child, he has read a lot of books, his ideas are also mature, and with the guidance of his grandfather Su Baidong, he far surpasses his peers mentally.
After reading more books and growing up, ideas arise, fantasies about the world outside the village, full of yearning intentions.
The ancient desolate continent, the people are fierce, extremely advocating martial arts, the strong are proud of the world, stepping into the martial arts, it is Su Chen's pursuit, if he does not enter the martial arts, it may be difficult to practice the road, not only that, he hopes that one day he can save his parents.
I've been reading the book for too long, and I can't open my eyes a little.
Su Chen got up and walked out of the door, and when he walked to the back of the courtyard, he raised his head and looked at the sky, savoring the book Chu Huang Ji that he had just read.
It is recorded in the book "The Legend of the Emperor of Chu" that in his life, the Emperor of Chu was amazingly talented and peerless, and he was invincible all over the world.
............
Just thinking about Emperor Chu, this kind of glorious deeds makes people feel that their blood is boiling, and the strong are proud of the world, looking down on the world, and making the world worship.
In the same book, it is also recorded that whether it is a martial arts path or a cultivation path, not only is it necessary to have chance, but also qualifications, talents, roots, and famous teachers are extremely important, and there are often so-called geniuses in the world, which are ten times more than ordinary people.
The sky was heavy and cloudy, as if it was going to rain.
Su Chen no longer looked at the sky, turned around, retracted the thoughts in his mind, walked to the house and lay on the bed, closed his eyes and said to himself: "Plan your life well in the future, whether it is a martial arts path or a cultivation path, for the current Su Chen, it is a little too difficult, it is better to start with the text, then step on the martial arts, and finally step into the cultivation road." ”
Stepping into the road of cultivation, as well as the way of martial arts, the process is very difficult, but the path of the literati is relatively easy, everyone only has a chance to study hard, to gain fame, after obtaining fame, you can become a scholar as an official, even if you can't be an official, you can also become a literati, there are many ways to succeed, as long as you don't give up, otherwise you will stay in the village for the rest of your life, waste the years, talk about the ideal, and how to find your parents?
As long as you are willing to pay, no matter how early or how late, you will have a harvest, be kind to time, endure loneliness, experience twists and turns, don't go with the flow, don't give up persistence, perseverance, consistency, there will be a return, Su Chen firmly believes in this in his heart.
The night was very late, Su Chen didn't think much about it, closed his eyes, and slowly fell asleep.
Su Chen began to choose the path of life, first study hard, and then gain fame when he grows up, starting from the path of literati, and then have the opportunity to step into the martial arts, and even step into the path of cultivation, and slowly realize his ideals.
Ordinary life, naturally take the ordinary road, there is no choice in life, only move forward slowly, step by step.
If life often doesn't go your way, God will play a joke on you, and it will completely change your destiny.
Where will Su Chen's fate go? Let's wait and see.
