Volume 1 The First Journey Chapter 1 Spring Rain Falls on the Town
"Stream-and-drain······· ·······" In the early spring of this year, the rain was inexplicably heavy.
Raindrops as big as beans fell on an oil-paper umbrella, and a young man with a young face walked in the alley full of fireworks with an oil-paper umbrella, slowly raising his head.
"Alas, it's raining again, how has it been raining lately." The boy shrank back and sighed helplessly.
"I have to go home quickly, Daddy is still waiting for me."
The boy's name is Wei Changming, and he was born in an inconspicuous town in Sangzhou.
The town was nameless, but because the town was full of maple trees, whenever autumn came, the road would be covered with maple leaves, and the old people in the town were too lazy to clean it.
It is said that when Wei Changming was born, it was windy and raining heavily, and the rain blew out all the lanterns in the house, and the maple leaves on both sides of the road were blown down by the strong wind, obscuring the direction. Therefore, his parents named him "Wei Changming", hoping that the lights could grow brightly and guide the child to the direction of the future.
His father's name is Wei Wu, a well-known local wealthy businessman, Wei Wu wandered around when he was young, and after middle age, he lived in the town to do business, but he did not worry about food and clothing, and he would help the people in the town in his spare time, so he had a good reputation.
Originally, the young and middle-aged people in the town had gone out, either to make a living or to find the way to heaven, and most of them left only the old people and children in the town. But since the Wei family came to this remote town, the town that didn't have much vitality seemed to be revitalized.
"Changming! Don't be in such a hurry, you are weak, Aunt Li made a few meat buns and ate them on the road! An aunt in the alley waved her hand.
"Thank you, Aunt Li, but Changming is in a hurry to go back, I understand the kindness, goodbye Aunt Li!" Wei Changming waved his hand and replied, but the pace on his feet did not stop.
"Changming! Be careful not to run, Uncle Li has made a new sugar man, do you want to taste it, it's delicious! An uncle shouted in the alley.
"Thank you, Uncle Li, but today is Daddy's birthday, I have to rush back to celebrate my birthday, Changming will leave first!" As soon as the words fell, Wei Changming had already run out of the alley.
"This kid is really uneasy, he is not in good health and still runs so fast!" Although Uncle Li said this, the affection on his face was obvious.
Uncle Li heard that Wei Wu, the head of the Wei family, was already a cultivator in the late stage of Qi training, but he still helped the neighbors, and married an ordinary woman in the town.
"Alas, I have to be scolded, today is my father's birthday." Wei Changming thought to himself as he walked.
The Wei family's house is located in a corner of Luofeng Town, and the road is lined with lanterns.
With the lights on, Wei Changming hurried and finally returned to the house before sunset.
"Da Da Da ······ Da Da Da ······" Wei Changming's cloth shoes trampled on the ground with rain, and the sound of hurried footsteps sounded at the door of Wei's house.
"The young master is back!" The maid of the Wei Mansion shouted, "Young master, don't catch a cold, hurry up and wipe your body." ”
"It's okay!" Wei Changming hurriedly walked inside, "Father's dinner hasn't started yet!" ”
"Of course not, the master and the lady are still waiting for the young master." The maid replied while helping Wei Changming change his clothes.
"That's good." The young man changed into a white coat, put down the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, walked slowly to the hall, and made a gesture to his parents at the table.
"Changming, sit down, let's wait for a while, come, since Changming is back, let's start the dinner, today is your father's birthday, don't go to congratulate!"
Wei Changming's mother's name is Xia Guan, and she greeted Wei Changming with a smile at the moment.
"Good mother." Wei Changming walked up to his father and said with a smile: "Changming is late!" Changming is here to wish my father eternal good health, and we all rely on you! ”
Wei Wu's face had long since faded from its former edge, but what remained unchanged was still that majesty.
"Good boy, the future is yours, my father is old, and now I am running a small business in Luofeng Town to help the people around you live a stable life, but you are different, you still have a future, my father hopes that you can live a healthy life, and I also hope that you can work hard."
With that, Wei Wu took out a box from behind him.
"There is a firefly grass here, which can help you eliminate impurities in your body, and then exercise diligently, you will definitely be able to step into the ranks of cultivation, you have a weak physique since you were a child, this firefly grass was brought by a friend you met when you were young. You are already in the year of dancing spoons, and your father wants you to make your own decision whether to inherit the family business peacefully or go out and explore. ”
Wei Changming clenched his fists, and since he can remember, the housekeeper of the Wei Mansion has been instructed to take care of himself and not let himself work too hard, let alone practice martial arts. I also wanted to practice unyieldingly, but as soon as I lifted the big stone in the courtyard, I was so tired and out of breath that I had no choice but to accept the reality.
My parents have also tried to find a way, but my mother is just an ordinary person, and my father is also old, and the medicine to improve my physical fitness is no longer within the scope of ordinary people's affordability, and I have not mentioned it since then.
But whenever I pass by the martial arts hall in the town and see the martial artists in the martial arts hall teaching skills to children of all sizes, I feel envious, envious, and I also fantasize about what I look like when I dance with a knife and a gun.
I heard that my father was a cultivator, but I had never heard him mention the story of the past.
At that time, there was always a clever little head, appearing at the door of the martial arts hall from time to time, shaking his head and looking at the scene inside, the martial artist came and went and understood that this little guy was a young man of the Wei family, although the body could not practice martial arts, but also had a heart to practice martial arts, and he was secretly concerned about his safety while loving it.
Wei Changming understood the value of this firefly grass, pursed his lips, and just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by his father: "Father understands when he sees your expression." There is no ability to be a father, but you are only a son, and I also see that you have not admitted defeat since you were a child, and this is the only thing you can do as a father, and the next road can only be walked by yourself. ”
"Changming understands that the child will not disappoint his father." Wei Changming clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind.
"There are also two exercises here, one is the upper volume of the Tuna Jue, which is the most widely circulated internal strength method in the mainland, and the next volume has been lost, but it is enough at present, you take it to see it first, and then ask me if you don't understand anything. There is also a book of Sanchai swordsmanship, there are three swordsmanship, you have to practice hard. In order to maximize the effect by using both internal and external moves, you must practice diligently. ”
"Changming remembered."
"Okay, okay, what are you doing with such a heavy atmosphere? Changming, eat more, you're still growing your body. Xia Wan said as he sandwiched the dishes for Wei Changming.
"Okay, mother, you can eat more."
The maid looked at the happy appearance of the family, and narrowed her eyes with a smile.
······
Outside the house, the spring rain continued.
I wish I could stay in this moment forever.
