Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 54 Departure
"What? You said that you owe a lot of money to people and want to go to Daqi to work to pay off your debts? Lu Ying slapped the table, and almost dropped the teacup on the table to the ground.
Before Xia Ze could speak, Lu Ying had already begun to look for sticks all over the ground, so he had to find an excuse casually: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, just the wooden girl who came to the house to let me be a headhunter before, do you remember, she is a big family in Daqi, and she is very close to me, so she borrowed me some silver to let me open a shop, and Lao Wu is a relative of her family." ”
Lu Ying was suspicious: "If she is not related to her, why does she want to lend you the silver?" ”
He Xu stood aside and laughed, Xia Ze hummed for a long time: "What else can you do, join the fate." ”
Lu Ying was speechless, and after a while, he seemed to be enlightened, looking at Xia Ze with relief and love in his eyes.
"Miss Mu said, I'm so clever, I was born to do business, it's a pity to stay in this town, it's better to go to her house to help with the business, and learn the way of doing business by the way, after three years of work, this silver doesn't have to be returned."
Lu Ying's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and he tried to swallow a sip of tea: "This ...... Did Miss Mu really say that? Is it true that as long as you work for three years, you don't have to pay back the money? ”
Xia Ze sighed in his heart that his casual kung fu was really a teacher.
"But will the people outside look down on us countrymen? Besides, it's been three years, and the food outside is as delicious as the hometown. The woman worried.
"Why don't you go, send a letter to Miss Mu, and say that we will save money and pay her back, and send some country specialties to eat, and thank people for their generosity?" Lu Ying looked into Xia Ze's eyes and tried to convince him.
"Sister-in-law! I promised Miss Renmu, a mouthful of spit and a nail, and besides, don't I have to take He Xu to find his sister? Xia Ze was anxious.
"This ...... That's the reason. Lu Ying glanced at He Xu and was defeated.
"If you go, you won't be able to come back for two or three years, so take the time to put incense on your father's grave and say goodbye." The woman chattered.
"When you go there, you have to write often, and you have to learn more and ask more about everything than you do in other people's homes. Don't be anxious with the grievances in your heart, and bear with ......" Lu Ying's eyes were red.
"Sister-in-law, I'll be back in three years, look at your ......," Xia Ze said with relief.
Lu Ying wiped her tears: "Don't talk about this, you are going to go far now." The tattered ones that can no longer be worn are laughable, and there must be a few decent clothes. ”
Outside the door, the fox demon Ayu walked in with a burden, looked at Xia Ze with a slightly frightened look, and shouted, "Young Master." ”
Xia Ze didn't agree, and when he opened the baggage, he saw that it was a few brand-new long shirts, which were sewn by dozens of embroidery girls in the silk village overnight, as well as a few pairs of cloth shoes. By the way, I also made a few pieces for He Xu.
"I didn't know that you were leaving, so I thought about asking the embroidery girl to make a few clothes for you to change into on weekdays, and I happened to run into it. Put it on and let me see. Lu Ying smiled kindly.
Xia Ze nodded and walked into the room.
After a long time, Xia Ze walked out of the house generously, wearing a cyan robe, with a pair of brand-new cloth shoes under his feet.
Lu Ying greeted him, looked left and right, and his eyes were red again: "Grown up, this looks more like your eldest brother, and he is also a handsome young man......"
Xia Ze was a little embarrassed, the old gentleman who was learning from the study, slowly made a gesture to Lu Ying, he had bright eyes and bright teeth, well-dressed, and some reading seed demeanor, even Ayu, who had always disliked people, was stunned.
On this day, Xia Ze led Wu Xiao, took the incense and tribute wine, and came to the grave of Xia Ze's father and eldest brother, and the young man knelt in front of the grave, as if he had a belly.
Wu Xiao respectfully put on the incense and toasted, and then walked away from home, leaving the young man alone to whisper in his heart.
"Dad, mother, eldest brother, Xiao Ze has grown up, why did you leave so early, leaving me and my sister-in-law, these years have been bitter or not, that is, I miss you a little." Xia Ze burst into tears.
"Daddy, eldest brother, my sister-in-law and I are doing well, the neighborhood's uncles and aunts helped, and my sister-in-law opened a tea shop. I also worked as a headhunter, made a lot of money, and I also opened a silk village in the town, and I will be a rich man in the future, but I haven't forgotten to think about the good of others, and I have given thank-you gifts to the good people who have helped our family....."
The young man was in pieces, picking, choosing, eating a good meal, buying a new dress, a few taels of silver, and always reporting good news and not bad news, just like these years in order to make the people around him live well, he habitually broke his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach.
There are some things that he hesitates to say, this is a little secret in his heart, but the time is not ripe, so he will not add trouble to his father and mother.
He finally choked up with red eyes and said: "Destiny, the child has to travel far now, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back to see you in three or five years, don't worry about scaring me, miss me, come to see me in my dreams." This land, no, Wuyue Zhengshen is my good brother, what are the shortcomings, just tell him, you're welcome, ah? ”
The boy burned out the paper money and incense in front of the grave, poured the wine, and kowtowed three times.
"The lord boldly walked forward, the old slave is here, he will definitely protect this side of the water and soil, Lu Ying's sister-in-law, and that group of children, the old slave must live up to his mission and protect them thoroughly. If the lord is not at ease, I will send a few spirits that are born and raised here to protect the ancestral grave of the lord's family. ”
Xia Ze shook his head and patted Wu Xiao on the shoulder: "Forget it, my father's eldest brother is a person who likes to be quiet." ”
Wu Xiao nodded, and then said: "The war between Great Qi and Great Zhou is imminent, and at the latest in three years, the winner will be decided, but both sides are afraid of Taiyi to save the suffering Tianzun Godhead, and they both promise to give me enough face Wu Xiao to bypass Yunxi Town and start a war elsewhere." ”
Xia Ze nodded: "Then since you already have the qualifications of the Five Peaks Righteous God, the Five Mountains you sit in are the one in the Ethereal Continent?" ”
Wu Xiao cried and laughed: "The lord forgives the sin, the old slave really doesn't know, I myself occupied the divine will of Taiyi to save the suffering Tianzun, so I jumped from a small land to the god of Wuyue Mountain, which mountain to sit on, in fact, it is not so important, but if there is a mountain to sit on, it is equivalent to a small world, and the killing power can climb a realm." ”
He added: "It doesn't matter where the mountain sits, it's just how much aura the mountains and rivers have, as long as you rush to a certain place in this ethereal continent, it's just a matter of time." ”
Xia Zexin said that the higher the mountain, the better, but he nodded again and again.
"The old slave put some magic weapons that are useful for fairy money in the ruler of the master's pocket without authorization, the quality is not high, but it is more or less still used. This road is not easy, if there is a need, just send a letter to Yunxi Town, and the old slave will definitely do it. ”
Xia Ze looked at Wu Xiao and was amazed, either this kid can be a mountain god, hey this pattern......
On this day, by the stream in Yunxi Town, there was a thin young man wearing a hat, a green shirt, a sword pinned to his back, and a pair of straw sandals under his feet.
There was a seven or eight-year-old child next to him, holding a bamboo cane in his hand and also wearing straw sandals.
It was drizzling in the mountains, and the two of them were talking and laughing.
Bamboo cane shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid? A cloud of smoke and rain is in your life!
As the saying goes, parents are here, not far away, young parents have passed away, but there are still relatives in the world.
The wind is up! Today, the boy travels far away with a sword!
