Chapter 121: Persuasion
In the end, the soft-shelled turtle still did not escape the fate of being stewed.
The person who did it was Lu Yangsheng. Because even with his guarantee, Li Rou was still a little stunned, so it could only be Lu Yangsheng himself, but the method of dealing with soft-shelled turtle and the process of stewing soup were all taught to him by Li Rou on the spot, and because she was staring at the whole time, there was no need to worry that this pot of soup would be messed up.
When Lu Yangsheng was dealing with the soft-shelled turtle, Caiyi sneaked out while he wasn't paying attention, and he didn't know where he went, but although he found it in the first time, he didn't deliberately look for it, after all, Caiyi often ran outside, and he was used to it.
During this period, Lu Yangsheng also took the opportunity to ask Li Rou why he came here, and after learning that it was because of Jiang Guining's request, he fell into silence, and it was not until the soft-shelled turtle was dealt with that he suddenly asked: "Sister Rou, do you think I should apprentice?" ”
Li Rou secretly glanced at the direction of the wooden house, and said in a particularly low voice: "I don't know whether to persuade you or not, how to say it, after all, I don't know much about that guy named Jiang Guining, so naturally I don't know if you should apprentice or not." ”
Lu Yangsheng sighed, and said a little lonely: "That's ......"
Looking at him like this, Li Rou couldn't help but feel a little distressed, she raised her hand and rubbed Lu Yangsheng's head, and said softly: "However, didn't you just tell me not long ago that you plan to go out of the town and go outside for a long trip?" ”
Lu Yangsheng looked at Li Rou with some puzzlement, not knowing why she was talking about this now.
Li Rou continued: "So when the Taoist priest first told me that he wanted you to apprentice, I actually agreed, because if you want to go on a long trip, you can have one more person around you to take care of it, and you can also suffer less." That's why I chose to go up the mountain with him. ”
Lu Yangsheng didn't expect Li Rou to have such a plan, his eyes were red, and he only felt warm in his heart, but his perennial withdrawn nature made him not know what to say at such a time, so in the end, he just asked softly: "Then Sister Rou, do you want me to apprentice?" ”
If this was Li Rou's idea, Lu Yangsheng would definitely do it, but to his surprise, Li Rou shook his head.
"That was my idea at first, but then I changed my mind."
As soon as she thought of the little Taoist's performance on the way here, Li Rou felt that her head was big for a while. Along the way, the Taoist priest's performance was really bad, which made it really difficult for Li Rou to have a good impression of that guy.
So before answering the question, Li Rou decided to ask Lu Yangsheng about his impression of that Taoist priest. Therefore, she opened her mouth and asked, "Xiao Yangsheng, put other things aside first." Can you tell my sister first, how much do you know about that Taoist priest? Also, he wants you to apprentice, so what can he teach you? Do you know these things? ”
Speaking of this, Li Rou remembered Jiang Guining's appearance that he couldn't lift his shoulders and couldn't lift his hands along the way, so he couldn't help but ask: "I've seen that guy's physical strength, not to mention comparing it with you Li Quange, even if it's with me, or even you, it's a lot worse." Such a person is probably not very good at even the most basic farm work, what can he teach you? It can't be a cheat, right? Xiao Yangsheng, let me tell you first, if this is the case, you must not learn, otherwise you will be careful of being broken by someone. ”
Looking at Li Rou's serious appearance, Lu Yangsheng's face was full of embarrassment, because of Jiang Guining's virtue, sometimes even he couldn't stand it, let alone a woman like Li Rou? He especially wanted to ask Jiang Guining now, since you have invited people to go up the mountain to be lobbyists, can't you behave well?
Although he thought so in his heart, Lu Yangsheng still explained for Jiang Guining in a low voice: "Sister Rou, although Daoist Jiang looks a little out of tune, he is still a good person. ”
Li Rou's eyes were full of suspicion: "Are you sure?" ”
Although Lu Yangsheng guessed some of Jiang Guining's true skills, if he patted his chest and assured him, he was really a little weak-hearted, so in the end, he could only say uncertainly: "It should be certain...... Yes. ”
It's strange to say, as long as it involves Jiang Guining, even if it is a very certain thing, Lu Yangsheng is weak-hearted.
Li Rou also saw Lu Yangsheng's weakness, but she didn't mean to expose it, but said: "Since you say so, then Sister Rou will believe it." And ......"
When she said this, Li Rou deliberately looked at the soft-shelled turtle that had been processed, and then continued: "Your sister Rou is not a fool, plus the things you just told me, you can see that the Taoist priest should not be as unbearable as he became, he should be a person with real skills." You've been with him the longest, so you must have discovered something, right? ”
When it comes to such a thing as cultivating immortals, Lu Yangsheng didn't dare to pull Li Rou in, but he didn't want to let him lie to Li Rou, so he could only support himself, but he didn't know what to say.
Li Rou didn't embarrass Lu Yangsheng for too long, and seeing that he hadn't spoken, she took the lead in speaking: "Okay, Sister Rou is not here to inquire about things with you, since it is inconvenient for you to say something, you don't need to say it, besides, with your temperament, you shouldn't have to worry about it." ”
Lu Yangsheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with some guilt: "Sister Rou, I don't want to lie to you, but there are some things I really can't say." ”
Li Rou smiled and touched Lu Yangsheng's head and said, "Little fool, who can't be a little secret?" ”
Seeing what Lu Yangsheng wanted to say, Li Rou hurriedly interrupted: "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's continue the topic just now." According to what you mean, if you apprentice with that Taoist priest, you can really learn a lot? ”
Lu Yangsheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes." And even without an apprenticeship, he still taught me a lot of things in the past two days, a lot of ...... Something important to me. ”
After he said this, Li Rou immediately made a decision, she changed her attitude just now, and said to Lu Yangsheng with a resolute look in her eyes: "Since this is the case, then let's apprentice." ”
Lu Yangsheng didn't expect Li Rou to change so quickly, she asked strangely, "Sister Rou, don't you have a bad impression of him?" ”
Li Rou shook her head and said, "Xiao Yangsheng, you will remember in the future, you can't just rely on your own feelings to see a person." As the old saying goes, it takes time to see people's hearts, and if you spend the longest time with him, then you will naturally see these things most clearly. Besides, didn't you also say that he has taught you a lot lately? Since you have learned other people's things, it is not too much to worship a teacher. ”
Seeing that Lu Yangsheng was still hesitating, Li Rou said in an aggravated tone: "Yangsheng, I thought about it just now and found that we both said so much, but we missed a very important question. ”
Lu Yangsheng asked a little strangely, "What is it?" ”
Li Rou leaned closer to him and whispered, "No outsiders have been to our town for so long, but he came in, and according to him, he should have traveled to many places. If that's the case, then his ability to save his life should be very powerful. ”
Is it the ability to save your life? Thinking that Jiang Guining's virtue had not been killed until now, Lu Yangsheng had to admire Li Rou's vision.
Of course, Li Rou didn't know what he thought, she just continued: "If you want to walk alone in the future, if you are not familiar with life, you will definitely suffer a lot, but you are not afraid of hardship, what you are afraid of is what to do when you encounter those fatal things." So, as long as you still want to get out of the town, you have to learn how to survive outside. But there are only a handful of people in our town who have gone out outside, and now the only one who can teach you is this Taoist priest. Therefore, in my opinion, you have to worship this teacher. ”
In the end, Li Rou felt that the more she spoke, the more reasonable she became, so her words became more and more important.
Lu Yangsheng understood these truths, and he hadn't thought about them before, but if he really wanted him to apprentice, he still had some concerns.
Li Rou also saw it, but this time she didn't let Lu Yangsheng look at it herself, but said very seriously: "Yangsheng, although I don't know what you're thinking, and I won't make any big senses, but you must remember what my sister said." The big things in the world are not as big as living, and in order to survive, you can't do too much. Now since that Taoist priest is helpful to you, and people are willing to teach you, then you should study hard, don't learn that people die to save face and suffer crimes, compared to living, face is a fart. ”
"And don't think that if people teach you things now, you can learn from others in vain without apprenticeship, this is not good. Sister told you that the current situation is that people are in a good mood to teach you, and when they are in a bad mood, they may not teach you, and you can't ask more. Besides, can you guarantee that people didn't lie to you? Besides, my sister is so old, I haven't seen pie in the sky yet, and now you have nothing to do with people, why can you learn other people's things in vain? Do you really think that people don't have to pay for things that they say casually? ”
There is another reason, that is, after this meeting, Li Rou found that Lu Yangsheng has really changed a lot. Not only is he not so inferior, but he even has a lot more smile on his face, and he thinks that Jiang Guining should also have the credit in it.
At this point, Li Rou's bad feelings towards Jiang Guining had completely dissipated.
But looking at Li Rou's serious face, Lu Yangsheng, who had always been obedient, turned his head a little awkwardly.
"Sister Rou, let me think about it again."
He knew that what Li Rou said was true, and he didn't understand these truths, but if he really wanted him to apprentice, he still had a lot of concerns. Not to mention the rest, at least before apprenticing, there are some things that he needs to talk to Jiang Guining before he can make up his mind.
Li Rou also saw Lu Yangsheng's concerns, and the words that came to her mouth were immediately swallowed by her.
If it was a trivial matter, Li Rou would force him to be obedient as before, but in this kind of big matter, she couldn't and didn't want to interfere too much with him, so in the end, she just sighed and said: "Forget it, you are no longer a child, so you will definitely have your own considerations, so I won't say anything." It's just that...... I hope you can understand that sister just wants you to live well. So, promise me one thing, no matter what happens in the future, you have to live well, just for your sister Rou, okay? ”
Lu Yangsheng's eyes turned red instantly, and he lowered his head and whispered, "Sister Rou, don't worry, I will definitely take care of myself." ”
Li Rou's eyes were also a little moist, and in order to hold back her tears, she hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, don't talk about this, you see that this soft-shelled turtle has been killed for a long time, but it hasn't been put into the pot yet, this is not good." Let's go, put this soft-shelled turtle in the pot first, and let's talk while boiling the soup. ”
Li Rou said that she was about to lift the soft-shelled turtle and put it in the pot, but was blocked by Lu Yangsheng.
Lu Yangsheng shook his head and said, "Sister Rou, don't be in a hurry first, let's talk about it when Caiyi comes back." ”
Li Rou asked strangely, "You said that little snake?" What are you waiting for? Why, you still think it can bring you some spices? Is it a rat or a toad? ”
Lu Yangsheng just smiled mysteriously and didn't explain anything. Li Rou didn't know why, but she didn't say much.
It didn't take long for the grass not far from the kitchen to move, and then a colorful figure appeared in front of the two of them.
Li Rou glanced at it casually, and just wanted to open her mouth to tease Lu Yangsheng, but before she could say anything, she was shocked by the things on the tail of the colorful clothes.
She rubbed her eyes, and after repeatedly confirming that she was not mistaken, she couldn't help but exclaim, "This is ...... Ginseng? ”
She looked at Caiyi, then at Lu Yangsheng, and didn't know what to say for a while.
It turned out that on the tail of Caiyi, a thumb-thick ginseng was being dragged by it, and depending on the size, it would be at least a few decades old, or even a hundred years.
Lu Yangsheng was very calm about this, he didn't explain anything to Li Rou, but touched the little snake's head and asked, "Caiyi, is there anything else I need to get?" ”
Caiyi first rubbed his head against Lu Yangsheng's palm, and then shook his head, but at the end, it cautiously looked in the direction of the room.
But looking at its appearance, Lu Yangsheng instantly understood.
