Chapter 318 and Yan County
Song You looked at the girl, smiled slightly, and then said, "But other people's sisters can't be called in vain." ”
"Huh?"
The little girl tilted her head to look at him, looking puzzled.
"Brother and sister are honorific titles for the elderly, and in addition to higher status, they also mean responsibility. If there is inequality, there must be reciprocity. Song You bowed his head and said to her, "Sanhua Niangniang is a ruler, since others respectfully call Sanhua Niangniang as a senior sister, which makes Sanhua Niangniang very happy, Sanhua Niangniang also has to pay something, as a reciprocal return." ”
"What should Sanhua Niang do?"
The little girl looked at him with large, bright eyes, full of curiosity.
"I heard that during this time, those who came to the mountains to learn art, even if they are not wealthy, are mostly solid, and there is nothing missing. However, at the beginning of Shu Daxia's Shanmen Grass, the conditions in the mountains were not good, and these children also lived a hard life in the mountains. Song You said to her, "Recently, summer has gone to autumn, and there are many wild fruits ripening in the mountains, which are quite delicious, and Sanhua Niangniang can pick a little bit and give it to his younger brothers and sisters. ”
"Reward!"
"It can also be said to be a gift."
"Fruit!"
"Yes."
Song You also tilted his head to think about it, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile: "Maybe rats and insects can also be." ”
"Sanhua Niangniang knows!"
"Sanhua Niangniang, let's go."
"Sanhua Niangniang is gone!"
The little girl sat on the bed and pupae, got out of bed in two clicks, glanced back at her Taoist priest, and ran out.
The opportunity is rare, and the time is limited, so it cannot be delayed.
Song You continued to sit here, watching the clouds and mist surge outside the window.
A few days in this mountain are not without harvest. In addition to the scenery and charm on the foggy mountains and the local specialties of Gwangju, my understanding of the Jianghu sect and the hardships of the disciples' martial arts training has also increased a little.
It's like this Shu Daxia's Thunder Sword Sect.
The disciples in the sect are roughly divided into two categories, which also reflect the two different directions of the development of the sect.
One is a similar martial arts hall for a fee.
Wealthy families, Jianghu dart bureaus, and even other Jianghu forces that do not take martial arts as their inheritance can send people to the mountains to learn martial arts, but they have to give a lot of money, which is not only the food and accommodation money for their children on the mountain, but also the tuition fees for the sects, and some sects rely on this to make money. This kind of housekeeping skills are generally not easy to learn, but as long as you are not badly talented, you can also learn to be a good one.
After you finish your studies, you will go back and forth from there, no matter what you do after that, whether you rely on martial arts to join the army, or follow the elders in the family to run the rivers and lakes, it doesn't matter what the sect is.
One is free of charge, like Wu Nuxia.
Most of these are gifted orphans adopted by sects.
Without a father or mother, the sect raised you, and it is naturally your home. Since it is your own family, you naturally care about your food and clothing. Correspondingly, when you grow up, you will always be a disciple of the sect, and generally speaking, you need to do things for the sect for the rest of your life, and naturally, you will also enjoy the benefits brought by the sect and grasp the power of the sect.
The former brings direct benefits to the sect.
The latter has increased the power of the sect, and the power is greater, whether it is to participate in darts, or to help people settle affairs, or to do other black and white business in the mountains, it is much more convenient.
There are also those in between, where the disciple pays less money, or does not pay at all, but is not allowed to go down the mountain immediately after completing his studies, and he must stay and work for the sect for many years before he can regain his freedom.
Jianghu warriors also have to eat, food and clothing are money, and the Jianghu sect must also have a way to continue itself.
However, even so, most of these Jianghu sects inherited by martial arts are not wealthy, and they are much worse than those interest gangs.
Now at the beginning of the creation of the Thunder Sword Sect, there is a lack of funds, many of them are the children of rich and noble families, Song You thinks that even if they are sent to the mountain gate, it is estimated that they will not lack anything, but after all, they are children, even if they have money in this mountain, they can't buy anything, so they asked Sanhua Niangniang to pick some wild fruits and share them with them.
Sanhua Niangniang is smart and persuasive, good at admonishment, and really asked the swallow to help, and went to the mountains to pick a lot of wild fruits, and went to wander again.
Whoever calls her senior sister, she will give some to others.
The wild fruit is just ripe, the taste is sweet, and it is very rare, even the children of the princely family, it is difficult not to like it. A group of children who practiced martial arts quickly surrounded them, respectful and polite.
Seeing that there were many people around, and hearing the senior sister full of ears, Sanhua Niangniang was very satisfied.
……
For seven days, the Taoist was courteous in the door.
But Shu Yifan still didn't come back.
The Taoist didn't say anything, but according to the original plan, he packed his bags and said goodbye to Steward Luo, and left with the little girl.
All the way through the sect, the children in the courtyard were divided into several groups to practice martial arts and swords, and when they saw the little girl walking out with the Taoist and the jujube red horse, they realized that this was not the senior sister in the door, but just followed a Taoist to the door as a guest. However, looking at the person and the red horse, how do you look at it and feel familiar, like a fairy I have just heard about in the story.
The little girl still turned her head to look at them.
It's just that if nothing else, the people here should be difficult to see each other again in this life.
"Do you want to say goodbye to them?"
"Is it a partial~"
"Just follow Shu's example, hug your fists and say goodbye, and you'll be fine."
"Farewell ......"
The little girl raised her hands and clenched her fists, and her voice was soft.
Song You smiled, but his footsteps didn't stop.
Out of the mountain gate, the Taoist did not immediately go down the mountain, but stood at the mountain gate and looked up at the mountain.
This foggy mountain is both big and high, so look at it, you can only see the thick clouds and mist that faintly reveal the light of the sky, I don't know how high it is, I just listen to Steward Luo, it takes half a day to get here from the mountain, and it takes half a day from here to the top of the mountain, even if it is a person who practices martial arts, it will take an hour or two.
The Taoist thought for a moment, and then took another step.
Two hours later.
The dense mist that flowed like silk in the mountains had fallen beneath him, turning into a sea of rolling clouds, and if you looked closely, you could even see the ups and downs of the waves, and the wind blew them upside down. There is only a simple small dirt road on the mountain and a wooden thatched pavilion built by people of unknown dynasties and generations, without steps and guardrails, and it is primitive.
The Taoist stood in the pavilion with the little girl, looking down at the sea of clouds below.
The wind was strong on the mountain, and the clothes and hair of both the Taoist and the little girl were shaken by the wind on the top of the mountain.
The Taoist said softly to the little girl: "Many years later, this place will be mostly a scenic spot. ”
"Scenic spots?"
"Scenic spots."
"I don't understand~"
Song You smiled slightly, didn't say anything, just turned his head to look at her, and asked her, "Sanhua Niangniang has had a good time in the mountains these two days?" ”
"It's fun." The little girl looked serious, "They are so stupid, they think that Sanhua Niangniang is their sister, and Sanhua Niangniang gives them fruit to eat, and they are so happy." ”
"It's called innocence."
"Simple~"
"Yes." Song You continued to look at her with a smile, "Sanhua Niangniang is also very simple. ”
"You're simple!"
The little girl turned her head to look at him seriously.
“……”
Song You shook his head, and the smile grew.
The wind was so strong that it distorted the sound.
I only heard the little girl say to him: "I just don't know how, Sanhua Niangniang one day according to what the Taoist priest said, she worked hard to catch a lot of rats and insects and gave them to play with, but they all ran away." ”
"What's the matter?"
"I don't know~"
"If you don't know, forget it."
"Don't the Taoist priests know either?"
“……”
Song You was thinking about how to answer honestly, when he glanced ahead, he suddenly raised his head, cast his gaze, and then put a hand on the top of the little girl's head, turning her to his head and turning her around.
"Sanhua Niangniang, please take a look."
"Hmm......"
The little girl herself was still stubbornly squinting at him until he twisted her head to the front, and when she heard the voice, she also looked ahead.
I saw a sea of clouds rolling in front of me, and some clouds were blown up by the wind and poured down, like a waterfall, a swallow flew recklessly above the white clouds and under the blue sky, and in this white cloud, in front of the two people, there was a circle of colorful holy halo, like a dream.
There is a faint figure in the aperture.
"Wow~"
The little girl couldn't help but be surprised.
"Brush ......"
The swallow also flew back and landed on the branch of the bush in front of the pavilion, causing the branch to tremble, and he turned his head to look at the Taoist, and then turned his head to look ahead.
"Round rainbow!"
"It's Buddha light."
"Buddha light?"
"Buddha light."
"Is that the Buddha in the temple?"
"Yes."
"Is it the circle they drew that turned into a rainbow?"
"No, it's just that they were born in the same heaven and earth."
"There seems to be someone in the circle!"
"yes."
"Is it a Buddha?"
"It's Sanhua Niangniang herself......"
Song You smiled and touched the little girl's head, and also raised his head to look at the figure in the halo.
After a moment's effort, the Buddha's light was gone.
The little girl turned her head and searched everywhere.
The Taoist smiled slightly, did not care, stretched lazily in the mountain breeze, basking in the sun, only felt comfortable, and said to the little girl and the swallow:
"Let's go."
"Did you go down the mountain?"
"Go down the mountain, go and meet Shu Daxia."
"Meet Shu Daxia!"
"Hope to meet."
"Shu seems to have become very powerful!"
"Shu has always been very powerful......"
Two figures, one big and one small, a swallow flying in the sky, and one more jujube red horse halfway up the mountain, all the way down the mountain, to the north.
The four-hundred-mile road, although there is a waterway, is countercurrent.
Shu Yifan's Marco traveled thousands of miles a day, and he probably didn't know how to take a boat, so the Taoist also went by land.
In four days, we arrived in Yan County.
There were no swordsmen on the way.
As soon as I arrived in the territory of Jiyan, I could see the tragic situation in the fields by the roadside.
According to the local climate season, many crops are close to the harvest time, but they are eaten by insects, not only a bare pole, but all insect bite marks, and even insects are lying on the crops to gnaw, from time to time you can see farmers working hard to fight against locusts, but even if they work hard, they are only unwilling.
Where can anyone fight such natural disasters?
