Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 53 It is difficult to find a confidant
Xia Ze waited for He Xu to play for a while, and then hooked his fingers, and the fire sword carried He Xu slowly fell from the sky.
He Xu was a little unsatisfied and asked, "Xia Ze, why don't we fly back to Yunxi Town?" β
The young man took out the tung oil for lighting the fire from the remaining luggage of the volunteers, dipped it in the wood wrapped in rags, and lit it to obtain a torch for lighting.
"The people in the town are ordinary people, and they haven't seen the Cultivator Imperial Sword, so I'm afraid of scaring them, so let's walk back slowly."
The two walked along the rugged mountain road, silent in pairs, and just walked.
He Xu was always worried about Xia Ze just mentioning that he had something to say to him, the more Xia Ze didn't speak, the more anxious he became, so he couldn't help but ask: "Xia Ze, that friend of yours, called Wu Xiao, seems to be quite rich, he didn't care if you asked for money, why did you take it upon yourself to give him a note?" So much money, you have to pay back most of your life."
Xia Ze didn't look at him, just took his hand and walked forward, and after a long time, he said in a flat tone: "Xiao He Xu, how many good friends do you have?" β
This sentence asked He Xu, he thought about it, and counted it on his other hand. I feel a little sour in my heart, after my father and mother left, he only has his sister, and the children in the town think he is dirty and likes to beat people, so they don't play with him much.
"I don't seem to have a good friend,......" he lowered his head, his expression sad, and soon said with a smile, "But now Xia Ze you count as one." β
The firelight illuminated the boy's face, and he couldn't comb his hair in a hurry, otherwise he would really look like a scholar.
"Like He Xu, I don't have any friends. I have only known Lao Wu for a short time, it was he who said that he was connected to my avenue, and then began to call me the lord, and helped me pay for a lot of incense, and even this time he paid for the opening of a silk and satin village and a ready-to-wear shop. Wu Xiao is very rich, and he doesn't seem to care much about that money, but he can't count it like that here in my Xia Ze. In this world, except for your parents, no one is good to you, so a friend who asks for warmth is hard to find. β
He smiled at He Xu and said, "Have you ever heard a sentence, brother, settle accounts?" β
The little man nodded, and held Xia Ze's hand tighter.
"Wu Xiao is the god of Wuyue, this money may be a drop in the bucket for him, and I, Xia Ze, am just a mud leg in the poor countryside now, but I will not feel inferior because of our disparity in status, and I will not be cheeky to spend his money because Lao Wu is rich. Every money that Lao Wu spends, I have firmly remembered in the account, and I have to remember the good and kindness of others, and I will go out to travel another day, walking more along the way, and I have to think about how to return this love. β
"I haven't gone out to walk the rivers and lakes yet, but the beggar told me before that if you want to be friends with a good friend all the time, to put it more clichΓ©dly, you have to exchange courtesies, gifts don't need to be worth a thousand gold, a few taels of silver that can solve the urgent need? A hot pot and two bowls of wine that meet in a foreign country? It's all learning. β
Speaking of this, he was in high spirits again, probably thinking of the friends who were born and died in the horse crying grave, the woman in the long blue dress.
"Xia Ze, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have run out by myself......" He Xu suddenly felt a little sad, and he was about to shed tears again.
Xia Ze touched his head: "You ran out of town to find your sister, the starting point is good, but you are not very thoughtful in a hurry, I won't blame you." β
"I'm good friends with you and your sister He Xi, so I'm here to save you, there's nothing I shouldn't do. I can only tell you that your sister is very good, but she doesn't know where to go for the time being, she loves you so much, there must be some unavoidable reason to leave Yunxi Town alone. β
He Xu was anxious: "But my sister can't see with her eyes, what should she do if a girl encounters any danger outside!" β
Xia Ze shook his head: "No, because she is the same as me now." β
"Like you?" He Xu suddenly remembered Xia Ze's ability to kill the righteous victorious army with his own strength just now, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
He suddenly had a premonition, so he asked Xia Ze: "Xia Ze, are you leaving Yunxi Town and going somewhere else?" β
Xia Ze nodded: "Well, I will probably have to set off in the next two days, and there are some unavoidable reasons, such as having a serious illness, and the small place of Yunxi Town cannot be cured, so I can only go out and go around." β
He Xu heard that Xia Ze was sick, his eyes were a little surprised, but he didn't dare to ask, after thinking for a while, he asked anxiously: "Brother Xia Ze, can you take me with me, I have to go out to find my sister, don't worry, I won't spend your money, I saved some myself, I can also help you make a fire to cook and wash clothes." β
"This ......," the young man grimaced.
"Brother Xia Ze, I beg you, I will give you all the money I have saved over the years....." the boy begged.
"I don't want your money, but you have to listen to me along the way, and I have to discuss this matter with my sister-in-law."
The child was overjoyed, and the two walked in the direction of Yunxi Town, and the starlight fell overhead, illuminating the way when passers-by came.
Two days later, the largest silk and satin shop ever opened in Yunxi Town, which is also a ready-to-wear shop. In the shop, there is a plump and beautiful woman wearing a dignified and elegant Chaoyun near incense bun, wearing a thin robe, and dozens of ingenious embroiderers under her hands.
There is a handsome man with a noble appearance, who claims to be a little boy running the hall, with a face like a crown of jade, and treats people like a cup of tea, which is comfortable and natural.
The cloth and satin in the store, the color is bright, the embroidery is brilliant, there are many clothes that have not been seen in the closed Yunxi Town, and the price is also very gratifying.
Business is very prosperous in the first two days of opening, and the customers in the store, both men and women, do not know whether to come to see some embroidery girls with beautiful faces and moons, or to see the demeanor of beautiful women and men.
Lu Ying and Ayu of the tea shop occasionally come to the silk village to have a look, and a group of embroiderers and the beautiful woman are all in unison, shouting to the shopkeeper, which makes Lu Ying not embarrassed.
After a while, the town spread, saying that he Xia Ze took the shit luck, and after entering the mountain, he saved the life of the handsome boy, and in order to repay him, he opened a ready-to-wear shop in the town for nothing, which is really the time to run.
The people in the town who helped Lu Ying and Xia Ze in the early years received dozens of good fabrics from the ready-to-wear shop as a thank you for their kindness that year.
