Unsheathed Sword Chapter 57: Meeting is a passerby
The girl just stubbornly scared him, but even if it was, she finally fed Xu Huaigu medicine seriously.
Xu Huaigu was amused in his heart, he had long expected that this girl was a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted person, but she was just fighting with him.
The girl gave him a very comfortable feeling. There is no intrigue, no deceit, just like a clear spring in a pool of dirty and muddy water.
He enjoyed the purity.
……
In the evening, the morning glow scattered across the sky, casting a light red veil over the sky, like the drunken blushing cheeks of a fairy in the sky.
Yu Qin sat by the door and opened the door so that Xu Huaigu on the hospital bed could see the sunset.
Xu Huaigu couldn't even move in bed these days, and he couldn't go out. He was so panicked that he saw the sunset that he could see every day before, and he also felt very kind and in a good mood.
Looking at the vast sky outside, his reverie had already flown out of the ninefold, longing for the distant world.
He was accustomed to walking freely in the world, yearning for unrestrainedness, but the prisoner-like life these days made him a little unbearable.
The girl saw that he was looking at the other side in a daze, and her eyes were shining, so she asked him curiously, "Do you really want to go outside?" ”
Xu Huaigu turned his head to look directly at Yu Qin's beautiful eyes, and said, "Yes, the outside world is very vast and exciting, far beyond our imagination, I want to go all over the world and see everywhere." ”
Yu Qin didn't seem to be very interested in the outside, she nodded perfunctorily, and asked rhetorically, "What's good outside?" I heard my father say that it's dangerous out there, and it's easy to die. ”
Xu Huaigu remembered the dangers along the way, and indeed almost died several times.
He frowned and said, "This is true, there are many bad people in the world, but there are also many good people outside." In general, it's better to be outside, how boring it is to stay in one place all the time. ”
Yu Qin turned her head to look at the cliff on the opposite bank, still with a faint and sad look, and she couldn't arouse her interest.
Xu Huaigu asked her, "Have you been outside the mountain?" ”
Yu Qin shook her head and said, "No." I've been in this little village for as long as I can remember, and I've never been out. ”
Xu Huaigu had some pity and said to Yu Qin: "That's really a pity, you should go outside to have a look." Do you know what the outside world is like? ”
Yu Qin still shook her head.
As if remembering something terrible, Xu Huaigu laughed and said proudly: "Have you ever seen someone who can split a mountain with a sword?" ”
Yu Qin's eyes widened, and she looked at Xu Huaigu's high-spirited appearance in disbelief, and replied, "How is this possible?" Have you ever seen it? ”
Xu Huaigu nodded heavily, his tone was so serious that no one could question it, and said, "I've seen it." Not only have I seen someone open a mountain with a sword, but I have also seen someone draw a splendid road with a whisk of dust and swim through ghosts. I have also seen someone extradite heaven and earth thunder and lightning with a piece of yellow paper, and a single blow can raze a mountain. ”
Yu Qin listened, her eyes became more and more strange, and finally stared at him for a long time before she said with a puzzled tone: "You shouldn't be too seriously injured and your brain is broken, right?" ”
Now it was Xu Huaigu's turn to make trouble.
He thought for a while and asked, "Do you know what a monk is?" ”
Yu Qin opened her eyes and looked at him, shook her head, and said, "I don't know." ”
The little girl should have grown up in the mountains, and she had never even seen outsiders, so it was reasonable not to know about the existence of monks.
Xu Huaigu explained to her: "Monks are a group of people who practice magic, gather the aura of heaven and earth for their own use, and have stronger abilities than ordinary people. Just like me, I'm also a minor friar, so I survived, otherwise I would have died if I had been so badly injured. ”
Yu Qin had never heard of such a statement, and she still looked puzzled and looked ignorant.
Xu Huaigu saw that she really didn't know about this aspect of cultivation, and she also knew that the change of concept could not be completed overnight, so she didn't say more.
Outside the door, Yu Qin's father, who had just returned home, heard his words and suddenly stopped, still holding the blood stained from hunting wild animals in his hands, and he didn't have time to wash it.
He stood in the doorway with a blank gaze, as if he remembered something, and suddenly it was like a dream.
……
The days passed like this, Xu Huaigu's injuries healed quickly under the girl's care, and he also learned from the girl's mouth that her name was Yu Qin.
Yu Qin was originally the only girl in these dozens of families, and she usually didn't have any playmates, but she soon became familiar with Xu Huaigu, who was almost the same age.
Xu Huaigu was idle and bored in bed, and also taught Yu Qin to read.
The location of the small village is remote, and there is only one literate person surnamed Yang, who has been a wild man for most of his life, so literacy is also a rare thing in the mountain village, and Yu Qin is of course willing to learn.
Sometimes Xu Huaigu will also tell the anecdotes he met on the way to Astragalus Mountain. Every time at this time, even Yu Qin's father, Yu An, who didn't know where to run all day long, would sit on the edge of Xu Huaigu's bed and listen to him tell stories.
Xu Huaigu talked about the bandits in Fengtou Mountain from the battle in Binxi City, and also talked about the strange sights and stories in the Red Square in Yucheng and the outrageous red finches.
All kinds of things I have seen and heard have never been seen in the mountains, and they are very interesting.
Maybe life in the mountains is too boring, Yu Qin likes to listen to these things very much, and her face is slowly full of smiles.
However, when she heard Xu Huaigu say that those immortals' skills and spells, she would pout and smile, which was obviously not a serious matter.
But Yu Qin's father, Yu An, seemed to be very serious every time he heard these contents, and sometimes he had to ask some questions.
Xu Huaigu always thought that it was just Yu An who was interested in these spells, but then one time, Yu An asked him: "Do the monks of the Fuyao Sect like to wear cyan clothes and swords?" ”
Xu Huaigu was shocked when he heard the name of the Fuyao Sect, he didn't expect that there were still people in this kind of place that even the monks didn't know about the Fuyao Sect, let alone the Tsing Yi Sabre.
However, before Xu Huaigu could ask, Yu An explained that a swordsman who passed by a few years ago was dressed like this, saying that he was from the Fuyao Sect, and that the swordsman was Tsing Yi Saber at that time, and he looked very handsome, so Yu An remembered him.
Xu Huaigu didn't know how the people of the Fuyao Sect liked to dress up, but he saw that Deng Zhiyuan liked to wear green clothes, which might be related to the atmosphere of the Fuyao Sect.
However, he thought about it a little, and in the end he still didn't say that his short sword "Cangshui" was from the Fuyao Sect.
In his eyes, Yu An didn't seem to know more than just Fuyao Sect. Xu Huaigu has an inexplicable intuition that Yu An and Fuyao Sect may have a lot to do with each other. For the sake of safety, it was better for him to be cautious.
However, Yu An never asked him questions about the Fuyao Sect since then, and just listened quietly to him about how powerful those superb Sword Immortal Daoists were.
The days passed quickly in repetition, and in the blink of an eye, it was more than a month, and Xu Huaigu had also recovered from a serious injury and was already able to sit up in bed.
Today was a rare day, Xu Huaigu was finally able to get out of bed and walk.
Although his body is still very weak, but being able to walk on his own, presumably it is not far from recovery, Xu Huaigu is extremely happy.
Yu Qin has long been a good friend with him, and because he is in a good mood for recovery, he cut off a large piece of bacon that can only be eaten during the New Year, and Yu An is a little distressed when he sees it.
There is no poultry in the mountains, and meat is obtained by hunting, so meat is a very luxurious food in the mountains, and this piece of bacon is the highest treatment for Xu Huaigu.
The three of them gathered together and ate a simple meal, but the atmosphere was harmonious.
Yu An suddenly asked Xu Huaigu: "When you get better, do you have any plans?" ”
Xu Huaigu took a big bite of food, took a piece of meat that Yu Qin gave him, and then said, "According to the original plan, I plan to go to Xingqing first, and then continue north." ”
Yu An asked again: "Where to go north?" ”
Xu Huaigu kept an eye on it and said, "It's not clear, it's where you go." ”
Yu An put down the dishes and chopsticks, nodded, finished the meal in a few bites, and left without saying a word.
Xu Huaigu watched him leave, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward for a while.
Yu Qin seemed to be a little unhappy by this parting words, and when she was eating, she began to have a bitter face again, and said, "When are you going to leave?" ”
Xu Huaigu looked at her sad eyes, a little ruthless, and said, "It's still early, I can stay here for a long time." ”
Yu Qin also put down the dishes and chopsticks, sighed and asked, "But you can still go." ”
Xu Huaigu was helpless about her coquettishness, and at this time he was also a little worried, so he said: "It's okay, I will definitely come to see you in the future, and I will bring you the best drinking sparrow in Hongfang when the time comes." ”
Yu Qin asked him: "You said that ten taels of silver for a cup of small finch is the best, but how much is ten taels of silver, and how much bacon can you buy?" ”
Xu Huaigu looked at her with a sincere face, his heart was a little sour, chewed the bacon in his mouth, and said, "I probably can't afford a piece." ”
Yu Qin looked at him, smiled disdainfully, and said, "Then you are so stingy, you can't even give up this money, I will make you bacon!" ”
Xu Huaigu was in a trance, and he didn't know who he was talking to, muttering to him.
"It's a big loss."
