Volume 1: The Lonely Boat Out of the Sunrise Chapter 54: Asking the Question (Part II)
"How can you not plant, the farmer crop man, there is nothing to think, there is nothing to do, do one thing in his life, farming, the gentleman of the private school said a word, the old man pondered some truth, he said, walk with your head down, you can see the sky when you look up, don't ask about the harvest, but ask about the cultivation!"
Walk with your head down and look up to see the sky?
Don't ask about harvest, but ask about hard work?
Ah Si's heart was suddenly stunned, yes, don't ask about the harvest, but ask about hard work, such an easy-to-understand truth, Mr. taught it when he was enlightened, how did I forget it.
I used to study by myself, then I learned swords, and even a retreat, it was decades, how many times did I miss the time?
He suddenly understood why he was so keen on Xiaobai's way of "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger", it turned out that he seemed to have been out of the world for a long time.
It's been a long time, like a normal person, take it seriously and calm down, and look at this splendid mountains and rivers.
His state of mind seems to have undergone some kind of transformation.
It seems, got some kind of sublimation.
The next moment, he rolled up his sleeves, and in the stunned eyes of the old farmer, he said, "Uncle, I'll help you!" ”
He worked for the old peasants for a whole day, and at night, in the cottage in this terraced field, he ate a simple peasant meal with these peasants, casually like an ordinary farmer, and also shared wine with them, and ate large pieces of meat with them.
Simple and joyful.
The next day, he said goodbye to the old farmer, asked the direction of Lotus Leaf Island, and left.
He was determined to take a good walk around this dazzling mountain and river and take a look at the scenery of this world.
When his imperial sword was on top of these hundreds of thousands of acres of golden and brilliant terraces, there was endless pride in his heart.
"I'm already in the Land Sword Immortal Realm, but where is my Dao?"
He thought about it, and then he had an answer.
"My word is in my heart and under my feet!"
Wash away the lead, and finally return to the ordinary.
People in this world are too concerned to let go of the monk's obsession, so they can't return to the basics.
Since it is "cultivation", there must be "attachment".
……
In this windy world, there is a swordsman who travels far away with a sword, he may move forward without an umbrella in the autumn rain, and let the wind and rain pat on his face.
He would go to a private school in a small town in the world to listen to the lessons of the master's enlightenment, and he would also sit at the bridge of a certain stone street for a whole day.
He would go to the Qinglou and get drunk for three days and three nights.
Occasionally, he would follow the merchant who was traveling, walk the vast ancient tea horse road, and follow the merchant to shout the "traveler ballad", allowing the voice to echo in the vast world.
And so on, casually, casually, casually.
Unrestrained.
Wherever his heart goes, he will also travel thousands of miles with his sword, wandering between the sea of clouds.
He will also quarrel with vendors in the market for a penny of buns.
He felt that this was the fireworks in the world.
He's a living person.
He walked through the Maple Leaf Continent, Baiyun Continent, and Lotus Leaf Continent, starting from the autumn breeze, when the cold winter came.
I am in an ethereal state, unrestrained, at peace with what I encounter, I have traveled through most of the splendid mountains and rivers, watching the fireworks in the world, and also watching the autumn wind and winter.
Finally, in the winter season.
He has come to Cangzhou City.
The cold wind was howling, and he wrapped himself in a mink fur, and the wind was a little biting, this weather. I'm afraid it's going to snow.
He approached the swordsmithing shop, Ning Caisang and Li Furong drank around the hearth, a wooden stick propped up the window, and just enough to see the two women inside.
And Jiang Xiaobai, in the sword-casting shop outside the door, pulled the bellows, and said with some complaints: "That old guy in Tianji Pavilion is not accurate, didn't he say that the second senior brother Ladong will come back, if he doesn't come again, Lao Tzu will give him the sword-casting shop, and it will be listed..."
Not long after, a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old ran out of the backyard, he rubbed his hands that were red from the cold, took the bellows from Jiang Xiaobai's hands, and began to pull it up.
"Shopkeeper, I'll come!" The boy said.
"It's still far from spring, but the next batch of farm tools has to be hurried, the people of ten miles and eight towns are waiting to use it, you work hard, the same, this batch of farm tools is sold, you raise thirty percent, and you will have money to marry a daughter-in-law after the year." Jiang Xiaobai said.
"Save it, you can rest assured, my mother has already found the aunt in the west of the city for me, and I have also seen it from afar, she is a good child." The boy said.
"Is your ass big?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.
"Barbaric, catch up with the spring of tomorrow, if you really want to talk about this family business, you must invite the shopkeeper to drink the wine." The boy said.
The two of them were talking some meat words in the sword-forging shop, and from time to time they showed a lewd smile that you know and I understand.
"By the way, the shopkeeper, you have been with your daughter-in-law for so long, why is there no movement in your stomach, the shopkeeper, you won't have some unspeakable secrets!" The boy said suddenly.
"Look at my body, strong, like?" Jiang Xiaobai glared.
"It's a little..."The young man said, he knew that Jiang Xiaobai had an easy-going personality, and the two were of the same age, so he didn't have any scruples about talking.
"Which eye are you to see, look for it, you..." As he spoke, Jiang Xiaobai picked up a wooden stick and whipped it on the young man at once.
"Ouch..."The young man screamed in pain, looked at Jiang Xiaobai angrily, and said, "Shopkeeper, if you smoke again, I will fight back!" It's not me who said it, it's what the neighbors say. ”
"Nima, who leaked the news again?" Jiang Xiaobai looked puzzled.
"Ahem..."
Suddenly, a coughing sound came, and the sword idiot Ah Si wrapped his mink fur and walked into the courtyard.
Jiang Xiaobai looked for prestige, suddenly stunned, and then overjoyed, and shouted to the house at the top of his voice: "Sister-in-law, the second senior brother is back..."
"Bang..."
The door in the house was suddenly closed, and even the wooden stick against the window was taken down by Ning Caisang.
"What's the matter, this is..."The sword idiot Ah Siyi was stunned.
At this time, the young man who pulled the bellows looked at the sword idiot Ah Si, and asked Jiang Xiaobai with some doubts, "Shopkeeper, this is what you often say, the big shopkeeper who has been abandoned from the beginning to the end?" ”
What the hell is the chaos and the end is abandoned?
What the hell is the big treasurer?
"Xiaobai, what's going on?" Ah Si looked at the closed door, and then at the young man pulling the bellows, and finally came back to his senses and said, "A new recruit? ”
"Otherwise, the business is getting bigger, so naturally I have to recruit guys, more than one, I recruited three, and the other two are off today." Jiang Xiaobai said.
Sword idiot Ah Si looked puzzled and was about to speak, but Jiang Xiaobai said: "Don't ask, let's solve my sister-in-law's place first, you have been gone for so long, and there is no letter, and my sister-in-law is angry." ”
Well?
I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't tell it.
"That's right, the big shopkeeper, you coax your sister-in-law first, these days, the shopkeeper has been blowing your wind at your sister-in-law's place, teaching your sister-in-law how to clean you up, that poisonous plan, I don't dare to marry my mother-in-law after hearing it." The guy is an upright man, and he sold Jiang Xiaobai all of a sudden.
Jiang Xiaobai raised his forehead and sighed, this pig teammate... Why is there no city at all?
