Chapter 20: The Words of the Children
Lowering her head, Widow Li didn't look at me again, but her chest rose and fell violently, knowing that I was looking at her, Widow Li pretended to be calm and said: "You can keep that copy of "Donggang Dou Qi Recipe" forever, I won't talk to others about it again, as for your grasshopper, you don't have to send it, I ...... that grasshopper I'm tired of eating. ”
Widow Li's tone was still burning when she began to speak, but when she reached the back, her voice became quieter and quieter.
Roasted grasshoppers, tired of eating? How is that possible?
Of course I don't believe it, but when I see Widow Li twisting her head and no longer looking at me, I can see her entanglement, but I don't know what she means.
But seeing that Widow Li no longer paid attention to me, I didn't know how to answer her, so I just turned around and walked out.
As for whether or not to come tomorrow? I think I'm going to come, I don't know what I'm holding onto.
Am I sympathizing with her? Is she really worthy of sympathy?
In fact, I think that if Widow Li had put up a sign on her door that said 'I am a prostitute', I would not have given him any more grasshoppers, because then her life would be much better than it is now, more men would come to her, she would not worry about food or clothing, even if someone in the village scolded her for being shameless, it is estimated that after a while of scolding, they would have silently dismissed her, and then try not to mention this woman as much as possible. However, Widow Li has always held on to her 'widow' brand, and I think she is also holding on to something in her heart.
She may have made mistakes before, but she shouldn't have been punished for the rest of her life, and now I think the reason why she is like this is that she must be forced by life, and she has to do this, and she can't live if she doesn't do this, and I don't know what is right and what is wrong? Hey, just give her a little hope, so I'm going to send five grasshoppers tomorrow.
At noon the next day, when I came to Widow Li's house again, I saw that she was not lying down, but still sitting in front of the bed, as if waiting for something.
When I placed five roasted grasshoppers on the edge of her bed, she didn't say anything, just glared at me with hazy teary eyes.
I ignored her, too lazy to guess the woman's thoughts, I turned around and left, in fact, I thought it was a happy thing to make the widow cry.
So I'll come back tomorrow and make her cry, hehe.
The inexplicable life is also very interesting, but it adds some color to my ordinary cultivation life.
Of course, these things related to Widow Li did not affect my cultivation.
In this way, I cultivated for another period of time, and my strength improved every day, although I entered the first level of condensation, this was only the beginning of cultivation.
Since my strength has become stronger, and slowly adapted to my new strength, catching grasshoppers is even more handy, it can be said that now I can rely on catching grasshoppers to solve the problem of food and clothing, and my life has become more and more **.
On this day, I came home earlier from the mountain, I wanted to sit down and practice, but suddenly I felt a little bored, I am now almost every day in my house, on the mountain, and at Widow Li's house, I should still be the age when I am full of infinite hope for this world.
At the very least, I should be a little curious, otherwise I won't be a little monster who only knows how to practice?
I think I should also know what the people in the village are doing, especially what the children in the village are doing.
Yes, go out and have fun, not too closed.
Of course, the private school in the village, that is, the school, where almost all the children who have reached school age will be there, and I don't know how Brother Rundong is doing after going to school, so I happened to go to see him today.
I have plenty of time today, so I'll go to the school to see Brother Rundong, and then come back for lunch.
I just thought of it as a half-day vacation for myself, but I couldn't sit still thinking about it, so I got up and walked to the village school.
The school is in the west of the village, where it was originally an old temple, it is said that there used to be a Taoist priest living in it, but later, the Taoist priest disliked our village was too poor, no one worshiped him, the Taoist priest was so hungry that he secretly ran away, and then there were no other Taoist priests to come to our village. When the people in the village saw that this temple was spacious and empty, it was a pity that they regarded this temple as a private school, which is now a school.
I walked briskly on the village path, very excited, and if I hadn't tried to pretend to be a two-year-old, I could have run to the school faster.
When I arrived outside the courtyard of the school, I saw the mastiff basking in the sun at the door, catching fleas, it was morning, and the mastiff's class was in the afternoon, so he was so leisurely, this guy didn't often go to Widow Li's, he couldn't afford to go there, his life was not very rich, occasionally he would go to the mountains to hunt, in short, in the remote mountain village, everyone's life was not particularly freewheeling.
I staggered through the door of the school and into the school, as if I didn't know the mastiff.
Although only children who have paid tuition fees can enter the school, no one believes that a two-year-old child would come here to steal something, and some small children will often come here to play, after all, there are many children here, and children are willing to play together.
The fierce mastiff's gaze lifted from the corner of his clothes, glanced at me, and said nothing, although the loss of the cultivation secret book made him feel uncomfortable, but I believe that he would not suspect a two-year-old child in the end.
Entering the courtyard, I saw more than a dozen children running around in the courtyard, playing, this is the recess, everyone is having a lot of fun, in this school are all children from our village, we are very familiar with each other, so there is no need to say hello, I staggered and walked towards them.
"Ling Feng, you're here! Come to Brother Rundong. ”
From afar, Brother Rundong also saw me, beckoned to me, and put away the book in his hand, during the recess, Brother Rundong did not miss the opportunity to read, it seems that Brother Rundong's enthusiasm for reading is as high as my enthusiasm for cultivation.
"Ling Feng!"
"Ling Feng is here. "When the kids around me saw a new person suddenly appear, everyone gathered, but it was just a novelty, I rarely come here, and people still like to think of me as a big toy.
Everyone had a better time chatting with me, and then they started having fun again.
The children's patience was not long, and after they had a few words, they heard the mountain girl next to them say with a bitter face: "Why is the morning class not over? ”
"Yes, I don't like to take Mr. Wu's class either, I suffocated. ”
"I want to go home for dinner. ”
......
One child started talking about it, and the other children complained, that Mr. Wu had three handfuls of goatees, so the students liked to call him old goat behind their backs.
But when the mountain boy heard someone say that he was going home for dinner, he immediately pursed his lips and said to the man: "Yam eggs, you have been thinking about eating them all day long, it's really useless! I said that I don't want to take the old goat's class, but I want to take the afternoon cultivation class, I plan to reach the condensation level this year, and in a few years, I can go into the mountains to hunt with my father." ”
"You're not promising!"
Yam heard the mountain girl belittle himself, of course he didn't accept it, he pouted and immediately replied, and then he thought about it, as if to prove that he was more promising than the other party, and then belittled the other party, he pouted and then said: "The mountain girl only knows how to be a hunter, only knows how to hunt, so it is called unproductive, my mother said, people who can get out of our village, that is called promising." I have thought about it, I will go out of our village in the future, like our mastiff teacher, to become a soldier, and then go to the battlefield to kill the 'big thief'. ”
To be a soldier, to kill the enemy, is a great ideal.
This lofty ideal really shocked the children in the mountains in the courtyard, everyone was envious, jealous and unconvinced, and looked at the yam eggs, even the fierce mastiff was looking back at here outside the courtyard, his scar face was very self-deprecating and smiled, I am afraid he didn't expect that he actually became an idol in the minds of children.
The mountain boy was humiliated by the yam egg, of course he was unhappy in his heart, the child is like this, only if he says a more lofty ideal than the other party, can he overwhelm the yam egg, wrinkled his nose, he thought about it quickly, the mountain boy suddenly pointed to the yam egg and laughed exaggeratedly: "Hahaha! Yam egg, you are so stupid, the current soldiers don't fight with other empires, the soldiers are a group of soft eggs, you still want to be a soldier, it's really useless! The current soldiers are greedy for life and afraid of death, they won't fight" Dalang thief', they were beaten to the door of the house, and they didn't dare to fight back. ”
The mastiff quickly put his head back in the doorway, looking indignant, of course, he didn't need to care too much about the child's words.
"Who said that GIs don't fight?" Yam Dan immediately retorted with a flushed face.
The mountain girl was full of spirit, and he looked very confident, and he taught the yam egg and said: "Yam egg, you say, if the soldiers are really still at war with other empires, let me ask you, why do the rebels of the Bo Lian Sect, the Little Knife Society, and the Founding Society want to kill the magicians of other empires, but the soldiers still want to suppress the Bo Lian Sect them, which obviously means that those soldiers are already in the same group as the magicians." ”
Yam Dan was stunned, this statement seemed to be very convincing, and he suddenly couldn't find an excuse to fight back.
The magicians that Shan Lingzi said are what Brother Rundong said before, and now the power of other empires is quickly stubborn, and it is the magic power of those empires that makes the current Shenghua Empire vulnerable, so among the people of the Shenghua Empire, many people hate this force, and they think that it is these magicians who have made the Shenghua Empire defeated repeatedly. And, the Lotus Sect, the Little Knife Society, and the Founding Society that the mountain lady said are representatives of hating foreign forces, and they have been making a lot of trouble recently, and they have become a powerful civil force, and it is said that that force has swept a large area of the Shenghua Empire, and the slogan they propagated is to drive all the invaders who know magic out of the Shenghua Empire.
Children are like that, they learn from adults, and adults understand all magicians as foreign invaders, and they think so too.
Yes, in fact, the Shenghua Empire where I am located is not very peaceful, and it can even be said that internal and external troubles coexist, this empire was once strong, once extremely powerful, but due to the long-term isolation of the country, I think that my fighting spirit is the most powerful, and always reuse the golden fighting spirit of the personnel as officials, resulting in the boiling of public resentment, and the single development of fighting spirit has made this former giant prematurely enter the road of exhaustion, and the national strength has weakened to the extreme.
I heard that a few years ago, the Shenghua Empire was defeated by a small country that was less than one-tenth the size of itself, and that small country was the 'Dalang Empire', and that battle was said to be called the 'Fake Naval Battle'.
