The Wind Rises and Falls Chapter 1 A boy who lives in the suburbs
"Li Yundong, you waste! I dare to come to receive the pill, I am fourteen years old, I don't even have a sea of qi, and I can't do the least communication with the aura of heaven and earth, what an iron waste!"
"That's it, this kind of talent is also a waste of resources, and it's really garbage picked up, how can you be surnamed Li? Why don't you die? ”
A group of people pointed at a young man in a green shirt, and one of the teenagers had a look of disgust in his eyes, thinking that an orphan who had been picked up since childhood was still a waste every day, which made them even more disgusted. They scolded and spat as if the young man who was being scolded was their enemy.
The scolded young man was thin, and although he was extremely haggard at the moment, his original face could still be faintly distinguished, and he should be extremely delicate.
Li Yundong has long been accustomed to this situation, every month when he comes to receive cultivation resources, he will be humiliated by parade in the street, he has been in such a day for four years, four years ago, his peers were basically able to condense their qi sea at the age of ten or so, and become a Qi Refining Realm cultivator, only he has never improved, he knows that it is not that he can't communicate with the aura of heaven and earth, but that he communicated when he was six years old! However, all the condensed aura was absorbed by a black seed in the dantian!
That kind of child is like a bottomless pit, absorbed from the age of six to the present, there has been no movement, let him waste the years, from a six-year-old demon genius who became a Qi refining realm to become the so-called waste that cannot communicate with the aura!
Li Yundong clenched his fists, hurriedly took away his small bag of resources, which had obviously been deducted, and ran towards the distance, but to his surprise, when he picked up his small bag, more than a dozen stones and some rotten medicinal herbs fell down with a clatter.
The bag was cut, and the pills inside were replaced with stones, and the herbs were still rotten.
The ground was in disarray, Li Yundong looked at the "resources" exposed in front of everyone, at that moment, his last dignity was played with by others, and he was full of holes! He glanced back at the middle-aged steward of the family, who was in charge of distributing resources.
The middle-aged steward's name is Li Zheng, and he is a very famous figure in the Li family, as a resource manager, this kind of fat difference is not something that ordinary people can serve, the reason why he can serve is because he has a good son, and he has perfectly condensed the sea of qi at the beginning of ten! This kind of talent is very high in the Li family clan, and there is a great possibility of building a foundation in the future!
The latter looked at him playfully in front of the counter with melon seeds.
"Why?"
Li Yun was puzzled, he originally wanted to leave in a hurry, away from the crowd, and get rid of this embarrassing place. But at this time, he couldn't take a step.
He looked at the middle-aged steward and spoke lightly, without any obvious emotion, as if he was chatting normally.
No one knows what this fourteen-year-old boy means by exuding such a state of calm. No one could comprehend the unparalleled bitterness and despair of this calm, except for a young girl at the back of the crowd.
The girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, was dressed in a cyan skirt swaying in the wind, with long hair and a shawl, bright eyes, and green and moving. Although it is only the age of Cardamom Tip in early February, it can still be seen that her future must be a stunning beauty.
She quietly looked at the young man being teased in the center of the crowd, and pursed her lips, not knowing what she was thinking.
Li Yundong naturally didn't know that the girl was looking at everything here.
He just looked at the steward.
"I've always had a question....... I'd like to ask, Lord Steward. ”
Li Yundong was not angry, he didn't blame the manager, he just talked straight and straightforward.
"You ask."
Li Zheng looked at the thin young man in front of him for a long time while eating melon seeds, wanting to see what he was going to do.
"I am indeed very incompetent and unable to practice qi, but I have not done anything to be sorry for everyone, I have not bullied anyone, I have not slandered people behind my back, I have not complained about others, I have not disobeyed my elders, I have not offended you......."
"But why do you all go to such lengths to humiliate me at every opportunity? A person's life is not long, so why spend energy to target me? Isn't it good to spend your years cherishing your proud talents? If I had this kind of talent, I would really be very happy, and I would be even more precious to become stronger and cultivate, wouldn't that be great? ”
Li Yun spoke unhurriedly, unable to hear the emotion, only the last sentence, he was obviously a little excited.
When the girl at the back of the crowd heard this, the little hand in her sleeve couldn't help but clench, and her finger bones turned white.
Who understands?
When Li Zheng heard his words, he couldn't help but be stunned, Li Yundong looked at his expression, wanting to see the reason. The crowd also fell silent, as if it was a little surprised that this waste actually asked such a question.
After Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, he seemed to ease up and continued to knock on the melon seeds.
"I'm sorry, I'm a foundation monk, I can live longer, I don't hate you, you didn't offend me, you have a good character and are very sensible, but I just want to bully you and have fun."
Li Zheng said playfully, he crossed Erlang's legs and looked at the expressionless young man in the distance.
When Li Yundong heard this, he was silent.
Laughter rang out again.
"Haha, that's funny, I found it quite fun to play this idiot."
"Don't you have any points for what you look like? I also asked why I was bullied, I looked like I was born to be bullied!"
Li Yundong didn't hear anything, his mind was full of Li Zheng's words.
He knows the answer, he's right, he's good, he looks up to heaven and earth, he has a clear conscience, the only fault is that he is a waste of cultivation, which makes people disgusted.
But that's not wrong, is it?
Li Yun left quietly, and the girl behind the crowd looked at the back from a distance, gloomy, thin, and lonely.
She knew where he had gone, the boy had long been expelled from the Li family's mansion, and with a hint of old affection, the family had built him a dilapidated thatched hut in the suburbs.
He had lived there alone for almost four years.
The girl knew that her Yundong brother had gone there again to lick his wounds alone.
The girl moved, and she quietly followed.
Li Yundong came to the suburbs, quietly walked into the grass house for four years, he lived alone, although shabby, but he has been very serious about cultivating life, the small courtyard is very clean and tidy by him. There's even a small flower garden with a few budding flower bones.
Li Yundong squatted in front of the flower bones, his eyes were hollow, he would usually actively cultivate, even if he was tired and tired, but today he was really tired, tired, he didn't even have the strength to lick his wounds, and mourning was worse than heart death, and death was secondary.
For more than four years, he didn't cry when he was expelled from the mansion, he didn't cry when he was trampled under the feet and humiliated by his brother who came later, he didn't cry when he was embarrassed countless times, and he didn't cry when he was helpless to break off with his childhood sweetheart.
His heart has always been hot, and he has never given up hope, but today, the bag of spilled "resources" and Li Zheng's words made him tired and confused.
He took out a simple jade plaque from his heart, with two lines of words written on it
"The clouds move like a dragon, crisscrossing the immortals"
These eight words are vigorous and powerful, like a swimming dragon, moving and soaring! In the lower right corner of the jade plaque is written the word "Li", and it is not difficult to see that it is an inscription of a man
Li Yundong flipped to the other side, and there were also eight words on it
"Peace and Joy and Carefree"
These eight characters are delicate and delicate, and the content is full of tenderness, which seems to contain endless tenderness and prayer, and is obviously from the hand of a woman
Also in the lower right corner is written the word "Shangguan".
Li Yundong didn't know the origin of the jade plate, he only knew that he had carried it since he was a child, and he very much suspected that the person who carved the word was his parents who had never appeared, and they carved such a word, clearly loving themselves, but why did it not appear for so many years...
"The clouds move like dragons, vertical and horizontal immortals; Peace and joy and no harm..."
Li Yundong smiled bitterly, and two lines of tears fell, "How can there be peace and joy, how can there be carefree... Dad, Mom... What should I do..."
Li Yundong's frustration over the years has never given up on himself, in addition to his firm beliefs, there is also this jade plate, he firmly believes that this is left to him by his parents, those sixteen words contain all the expectations and tenderness related to him in this world. After all, he was only a fourteen-year-old child, and now he saw things and thought about people, and he was even more miserable.
There was a slight sound of footsteps, accompanied by a quiet girl's body fragrance.
"Brother Yundong..."
Li Qiuying saw the young man squatting in front of the flowers in a daze, saw his two lines of tears, and saw his empty eyes.
The girl's heart tingled inexplicably, and she trembled slightly, she had never seen that young man look like this. He has always been a sunny and positive person, just like this neat little flower garden, which is a kind of attitude to life.
This boy is the same as she remembers, no matter what happens, he is quiet, never noisy, never crying, and even now he is still so quiet.
It's heart-wrenching.
In Li Qiuying's memory, there was only one time when he shouted at her.
"Li Qiuying, you are the proud daughter of the clan and destined to build a foundation in the future, and I am an expelled waste, you follow me all day long, it will only make everyone hate me even more! Make me a thorn in the side of others, make me even more dazzling! So, I don't need you! Please leave me, and from now on I will have nothing to do with you!"
That was the only time she had seen his hysterical side, red and horrible.
Li Yundong didn't look at Li Qiuying, he put away the jade card, stroked the flower, and suddenly, with a force of his hand, he broke the flower.
There is only unwillingness and anger in his eyes!
Li Qiuying keenly captured Li Yundong's changes, and her heart was inexplicably flustered, as if something important was missing, and she was more afraid than when the young man cut her in two.
"Cloud ......"
She tried to reach for something, but found that the person was long gone, leaving only the remnant flower lying on the ground.
Li Qiuying bit her lip tightly, and a trace of cold bitterness flowed into the corners of her mouth.
She leaned over and picked up the broken flower, like a vow and a farewell.
It was as if the familiar figure could never go back, her heart was empty, and the slight wind swept the memories of her youth, and the girl followed the boy like a fart, when the sun was shining and everyone had a bright future.
That year, he pointed to the sun and smiled at her
"Chohotaru, you know what? No matter what happens, embrace the warm sun, never forget, there will be an echo. ”
