Chapter 334: Some Water
When he returned to Qingxing Mountain, Gu Dajian Immortal had already gone back first.
The Gu clan didn't have any major incidents, but a few ancestral spirits that were used as a means to press the bottom of the box were scattered.
The Di newspaper that I was waiting for had indeed been published, concise and clear, saying that Gu Yijue's fornication with her sister-in-law more than a hundred years ago was framed, and that herring essence was not the female cadre of the Xiandu Dynasty.
But it turned out that no one believed it.
It can also be said that except for those who really care about Gu Yijue, no one will care about what happened back then, and no one will be amazed by the truth or falsehood of something.
Liu Jingxun hung a wine gourd, went down the Qingni River, and went hundreds of miles to Guolao County to take the girl Kuang Le fancied back to Qingxing Mountain.
It was not convenient to be alone, so I called Zhao Changsheng, who was practicing swords in Loach Lake.
This kid doesn't shave now, his mouth is full of scruffy beard, and he almost smashed Tan Tu a few punches.
There was no way, Zhao Changsheng had to shave his beloved beard and look like a young man again.
There is a Tianchi in Guolao County, which is actually a backwater pool, and I don't know how the reputation of Tianchi came about.
However, there are countless places called Tianchi and Longtan in the world, and it is not so strange.
Walking on the road, Liu Jingxun asked, "Who do you think is the most unsociable person on the mountain?" Remove Zhang Wuwei and Ada."
Ada is not social, and Zhang Wuwei is not unsociable, but he doesn't like to play with others.
Except, of course, these two.
Zhao Changsheng smiled and said, "On the mountain before, there were no unsociable people. Now Lin Qin Lingxing on the other side of the ferry has just arrived, and he seems to be a little unsocial, but it would be good to come a few more times. However, their sisters get along well with Luo and Wei Wei."
Liu Jingxuan nodded and said softly, "I asked Gu Yijue to find Zhang Wuwei, and it will only take a few days to go back and forth. Let's go back, and he'll be back soon, and we'll have a rough discussion about opening the mountain when the time comes."
After a pause, Liu Jingxuan continued, "Do you have any suggestions?"
Zhao Changsheng pursed his lips, "I'm just eating and drinking, what advice can I have?"
Guolao County is among the three mountains, and it is a lower county with less than 100,000 people, and it belongs to the exile county. A county seat is only one-third the size of Fuzhou County.
Everything else has been agreed with the girl's family, and a girl is not treated at home, and the two of them are equivalent to ten taels of silver to sell the girl.
If it is placed in normal times, ten taels of silver is indeed enough for the family's expenses for more than a year or two years.
But now the girl's brother wants to marry a wife, and the money is not enough, so it is estimated that the money is in their hands, and it is just a formality.
Soon arrived at the bank of the small river, and Liu Jingxuan recognized the girl named Huang Juan at a glance.
Thirteen or fourteen years old, now squatting by the river to wash clothes. The sun was so poisonous at this moment, and she didn't think about avoiding it.
Liu Jingxun walked over and asked, "Are you Huang Juan?"
The girl looked up, "Yes, what's the matter?"
Liu Jingxun nodded and smiled, "My surname is Liu, and there is a person named Kuang Le who asked me to take you back to the mountain."
The girl didn't know what the so-called mountain was, and the family thought it was a big family living in seclusion somewhere in the mountains.
Huang Juan sighed, continued to work on what was in his hand, and said at the same time: "My brother wants to increase the price, and he has to pay thirty taels of silver to take me away, if you don't think you can get it, you don't have to go in."
Liu Jingxun asked, "What if I don't pay these thirty taels?"
The swarthy woman spoke very naturally: "There is a green building over there in Xingzhou, and I am willing to spend thirty taels to buy me and be a red man."
Zhao Changsheng was so angry, he scolded and said, "This damn thing, is it really selling your daughter?"
Now I don't know what's going on, when a layman marries a wife, a bride price money has to be scraped clean in the family's pockets, and all they have to do after marriage is to repay the money first.
But it was also poked in the back and said that it was a girl who sold her daughter, who knew that this family really sold her daughter to the Qinglou, and it was a red lady who returned his mother.
Liu Jingxuan didn't rush to say whether to pay or not, but just asked, "What about you? What do you think?" Z.br>
Huang Juan was expressionless, and said softly, "Where is it not for sale? I couldn't decide my life again. There are many women of my age who marry old men for a few taels of silver."
Liu Jingxuan looked at Huang Juan and repeated, "Give you another chance, what do you think?"
But the girl by the river did not reply.
Liu Jingxun smiled, turned his head to Zhao Changsheng and said, "That's no fate, let's go."
Zhao Changsheng looked surprised and puzzled, "Brother Liu? What do you mean?"
Liu Jingxuan didn't speak, just grabbed Zhao Changsheng and walked away.
Huang Juan didn't look at the two figures who had already walked away, but kept waving the wooden stick in his hand.
She was already wrinkled at the sound of pounding clothes.
Somehow, the girl slammed the wooden stick into the water, stood up and shouted at Liu Jingxun and Zhao Changsheng, "Then are you willing to give up thirty taels of silver? Is it okay to deduct it from my salary?"
Liu Jingxun turned around, although the voice was very small, Huang Juan heard it clearly.
"You have to tell me, what do you think?"
The girl wiped a handful of tears from her eyes, shook her head, and said, "I don't know, but I want to be like a human being."
Liu Jingxun smiled, "Okay, are there any clothes that need to be packed?"
Huang Juan shook his head, "No, I don't even want to lose this body."
Liu Jingxun stepped back and said as he walked, "His name is Zhao Changsheng, let him take you to buy a new set of clothes, and I will give your father and mother money."
Huang Juan was stunned and asked, "Is there any difference?"
Liu Jingxun nodded and said, "Yes, and the difference is very big. Those who want to die cannot be saved, and those who want to live do not need to be saved."
Zhao Changsheng patted his head, and said in his heart, what is the truth of this? It seems that I will have to study hard when I go back.
In fact, the reason is very simple, although it is only the first time they have met, Liu Jingxun wants to give a reason to this future monk of Qingxing Mountain.
If you don't flutter and don't call for help, do you know if you're playing in the water or drowning?
If you want to leave this troubled home, I'm willing to take you back, but you have to at least show me that you want to live well.
It's a good reason to think like you.
Zhao Changsheng wanted to lead Huang Juan to one of the few ready-to-wear shops in the city, but the girl was unwilling to live or die. said that he wanted to buy clothes elsewhere, not in this old county.
Zhao Changsheng suddenly remembered what Brother Liu had said.
There was a child who walked on his right hand whenever he left home, and on his left hand whenever he was on his way home.
Because there is a village where there is a cemetery at the only intersection out of the village. If you leave home, the cemetery is on the left. If you go home, the cemetery is on the right.
Quite a stubborn girl, not bad.
Zhao Changsheng nodded and said softly, "Okay, after you go back to the mountain, let the girls on the mountain find you clothes to wear, new ones."
Huang Juan said softly, "I still want to change my name, is that okay?"
Liu Jingxun had already stepped out, and he said with a smile: "Help you think about it, let's call Huang Liuyang in the future, that Liuliu."
The girl nodded and said, "Then it's called Liuyang, can you not have a surname?"
Liu Jingxuan nodded, "You have the final say."
In the future, many girls on the starling mountain will be called Liuyang.
Without the return of the imperial sword, hundreds of miles, Liu Jingxuan planned to walk in three days, which could be regarded as a small trial for Liuyang.
On the first day, I walked more than 100 miles, and I didn't stop in a mountain until around the hour.
Zhao Changsheng skillfully collected firewood and made a fire.
He was a little curious, he walked nearly one hundred and fifty miles a day, and the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl didn't complain about being tired, let alone complaining.
Zhao Changsheng handed over a jug of water and asked, "Aren't you tired?"
Liuyang shook his head and said softly, "I'm not tired, I have to go to the mountains to collect medicine and sell it for money since I was nine years old, and I walk a few times a day
It's a mountain, and it's nearly a hundred miles back and forth, so it's nothing."
Liu Jingxun took a sip of wine, smiled slightly, and asked, "Don't you wonder what we're doing?" Don't you think we're bad people?"
Liu Yang shook his head, "Master Kwong looks much fiercer than you, so he looks like a bad person."
After a pause, she added, "Actually, I don't care if it's bad or not, but I'm curious about what you guys do. You look like a scholar, but you have a wine gourd. He's missing an arm and carrying a sword on his back, so you're either a thief in a mountain somewhere, or a sect in the rivers and lakes."
Liu Jingxun smiled, "It's smart."
Stop-and-go, on the morning of the fourth day, the three of them arrived at the Qingbai Inn.
Guan Huizhi has already returned to this shop, and Zhou Fang is about to go to Guanghua Academy.
The scholar smiled at Liu Jingxun and said, "Mountain Lord, I figured it out, after all, I am a scholar, and I have more or less knowledge in my stomach, and it should be okay to enlighten a child."
Liu Jingxun returned the salute with a fist and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou will go early and return early, we will have a meeting under the begonia tree at night."
Zhou Fang nodded, glanced at the dark-skinned girl, and showed a puzzled look.
Liu Jingxun said with a smile: "The child brought over from Guolao County is now called Liuyang, and he will help in the shop now."
Zhou Fang nodded, smiled kindly at Liuyang, and then rushed to Guanghua Academy.
Walking into the inn, Yang Nianzheng was already waiting.
"Is this the yellow girl that the mountain lord said?"
Liu Jingxun nodded, "Now it's called Liuyang, help at the inn first, and when he is free, he can pick a place to live in Chi Dusk Peak."
Since he arrived at the inn and heard the title of the mountain owner, Liuyang was very curious. Now that she heard that she could choose a house at will, she still couldn't hold back after all, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Liu Jingxun smiled, went to the cabinet where the wine was placed, and took Guan Huizhi's home-brewed water.
After taking a seat, Liu Jingxun spoke: "Then re-introduction, my name is Liu Jingxun, and I have a mountain called Qingxing Mountain. In the future, you will be my mountain monk, and the cook you saw earlier will teach you to practice qi cultivation. There are no rules on the side, and the only important rule in Starling Mountain is that you can't bully people."
Liuyang smiled bitterly, "It's good if others don't bully me."
Yang Nianzheng and Guan Huizhi glanced at each other and couldn't stop laughing.
Liuyang suddenly saw a beautiful woman, and the woman seemed to be frightened, and said to herself, "Why is it so dark? But don't worry, no one will bully you on the mountain, and no one will dare to bully you outside the mountain."
Zhao Changsheng stood at the door, smiling and sighing.
Compared with Brother Liu, he is still much worse!
Walking back to Qingxing Mountain in three days, doesn't it just want this girl to remember the way, and if she wants to go back in the future, she also knows where her home is?
After lunch that day, Liu Jingxun went to the cabin at the foot of the starling mountain where people lived again.
The Taoist priest with a scruffy beard and a wine gourd grinned and asked, "Did you disappoint?"
Liu Jingxun shook his head and said softly, "Some waters are crystal clear, some waters are as green as green, the former is extremely clear, and the latter is not necessarily turbid."
Somehow, the young Taoist priest's eyes were already red.
