Volume 1 The Man Under the Umbrella Chapter 33 A Smart Man Like Me
That seems to be the end of Mr. May's story.
A short, out-of-sight story.
Nandao remembered a lot of things from this.
There are far more joys and sorrows in life than can be seen.
When they converge.
and became a human being.
......
The four girls formed a table of mahjong.
Holding an umbrella, Nanjima pushed open the door and watched quietly there for a long time.
Then he walked lightly past them.
So the mahjong sound became quieter.
Nandao sat on the third floor listening to the wind platform, looking at the entire hanging courtyard for a long time, the forest was lush, the night was low, and the cold wind from the night was constantly coming through those distant lights.
Then he saw Mr. May sitting by the river outside the long street, sitting for a long time, and then leaving with his head bowed.
Chen He walked back from the noise with the little boy Li Die, still holding two sugar gourds in his hands, and the two were eating and playing at the same time.
There was a knock on the door behind him.
Nandao turned around and saw the girl standing by the door this morning knocking on the door, then nodded embarrassedly to Nandao and walked into the listening platform.
"My name is Hang Yue, a third-year student in the School of Mathematics and Physics." The girl walked over to Nandao's side and said apologetically, "I've been disturbing for the past two days." ”
Nandao waved his hand, turned his head to look at the night and said, "It's okay." Glancing at the girl's back again, it seemed that she was the only one, "Won't you fight tonight?" ”
The girl Hang Yue stood on the side of the stage and stretched her waist, and said: "Don't fight, I've been fighting for two nights in a row, I can't stay up, and we're not Zhang Xiao.... Well, a cultivator like Mr. Xiaoyu. ”
Nandao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but heard Hang Yue continue: "I'll fight in two days." ”
“......”
Nan Dao was speechless for a while, looked at Hang Yue and said, "Is the schoolwork of your School of Mathematics and Science so heavy?" ”
Hang Yue propped his hands on the guardrail and thought for a while.
"Actually, no, the main thing is that mahjong classes often sneak out to play on weekdays, so the usual credits are too few, some time ago, I lost two rounds, and there is not much left, so I have to work overtime to play cards, and win it back in a few days."
When the girl said that she won, she made the same action as Zhang Xiaoyu's chest.
So Nandao knew that she probably wouldn't be able to win back.
"I've won some money in the past two days, I'll go to the city to buy some things and give you something to eat, oh, and Brother Chen He." Hang Yue said, remembering something, ran downstairs, took a small bag up, and handed it to Nandao, "Remember to give him some points when the time comes, after all, he was so noisy that he couldn't sleep that day, hahaha." ”
Hang Yue should have remembered Chen He, who was constantly dozing off that day, and laughed.
“......”
"I'm going back first." Hang Yue walked to the door and looked back at Nandao, "By the way, what's your name." ”
"South Island."
Hang Yue was surprised for a moment and said, "It turns out that you are the student who was rejected?" ”
Nandao smiled bitterly and said, "If there is no second Nandao, it should be me." ”
Hang Yue leaned on the door and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to irritate you." ”
Nan Dao said lightly: "It's okay, anyway, I'm also in the Hanging Courtyard now, and it's good to listen to lectures and cultivate the Tao everywhere if I have nothing to do." ”
Hang Yue was a little envious, sighed, and said: "It's really good, you can listen to the class, and you don't have to think about the credits, well, or I will drop out of school to audit." ”
Then he looked at Nandao, who looked helpless, smiled and said, "Just kidding, I'm leaving." ”
"Okay."
Watching the girl disappear down the stairs, Nandao turned his head back and looked at the night.
Thinking about Mr. Mei, and the snow.
It wasn't until the courtyard was silent that Nandao stood up.
Stopped in front of the door of the room.
Push open the door.
There was nothing, just an ordinary room, and there were many biographical novels that Chen He had placed randomly on the bed and chair.
The South Island didn't sleep well tonight.
Maybe it's because of some sinful pain.
......
When Nandao got up on the second day, it was already bright, and Chen He sat outside listening to the wind platform drinking tea, and eating the bag of food in small bites.
"You're awake." Hearing the footsteps behind him, Chen He turned his head to look at Nandao and swallowed the snack in his mouth, "Mr. Mei said that it would be good for you to practice with peace of mind, and he would do the things in the courtyard." ”
Nan Dao nodded, Mr. Xie should have told Mr. Mei about his business yesterday.
After standing at Tingfeng Platform for a while, Nandao remembered that today was March 14th.
Qiu Xi'er will leave tomorrow.
Nandao thought a little wistfully, went back to the room and took the sword, and went out.
Chen He asked in the back, "Where are you going?" ”
"Learn the sword."
"What is there to learn about swords?"
Chen He was eating in the back and muttering.
When Nandao walked out of the library, he saw that the fallen leaves and other things on the path had been swept away, and it should have been Mr. May. When I walked towards the Qingniu Courtyard, I saw Mr. Mei dragging a broom from a distance, looking up at the apricot blossoms under the tree.
Nandao stood there for a long time.
Mr. Mei seemed to sense something, turned his head, saw Nandao, smiled, and then turned and walked lonely towards the outside of the Qingniu Courtyard.
Mr. Mei had been away for a long time before Nandao turned around and walked slowly along the apricot blossom path.
In the Xinghua Qingxiping on the side, the gentlemen are talking about the way of cultivation.
Then Nandao saw Zhang Xiaoyu, and Xiao Li Die, who was sitting under the tree decently.
Maybe it's because Li Die is also there.
What Zhang Xiaoyu talked about today is very basic kendo knowledge.
The retro Flowing Sword Sect of the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect.
No one who learns a sword can get around this thing.
That's the most essential thing for a man with a sword.
"The sword is like chopping wood, and you have to see where the wood is, and you have to listen to the sound of it being chopping into the wood. You should also be ready to be prepared to hurt yourself if the axe bounces back. ”
"If you can't see it, then you have to listen, feel the flow of the vitality around you, and judge the position of your opponent."
Zhang Xiaoyu spoke very seriously today, and Nandao listened to it for a long time with his sword.
There are a lot of things that Qiu Xi'er has not taught.
Perhaps, just like Qiu Xi'er's words - the swords of the Sword Grinding Cliff are all heading towards the sky.
So what she teaches is very high, very lonely and desperate.
And Zhang Xiaoyu is different, he is the sword of the Human Sword Sect in Nanyi City.
So it's very popular and cheap.
But what Nandao didn't understand was that the Sword Sect was mixed in the world like this.
Why did there come to such a mysterious kendo as the causal sword?
The South Island is magical.
It's like the old man who sells sugar and oil baba at the back door of the Sword Sect in the world, and suddenly one day he lifted the stall, took out a sword from the oil pot, looked at the world and said please give advice.
Nandao couldn't figure it out, so he went to Jingsi Lake.
Qiu Xi'er was not there, and Nandao was practicing swords against a falling flower.
Today I can already wear twelve.
Nandao remembered the first time she wore flowers, it seemed like a few days ago.
Then I remembered that it seemed that I had come to the Hanging Temple, and it was only the ninth day.
So looking at the flowers in his hand, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"Someone as smart as me."
Before Nandao finished speaking, she saw Qiu Xi'er coming from the corridor, and there was another person beside her.
Flowers are not happy.
So Nandao felt that the sword in his hand was a little unbearable.
Hua Wuxi's expression was very calm, and under those calm eyes, he seemed to be a little proud, glanced at Nandao, who was practicing swords by the lake, and frowned, but he didn't say anything, just looked at Qiu Xi'er beside him, and said slowly: "I hope Mr. can think about it." ”
Qiu Xi'er looked at the lake and said calmly, "I know. ”
Hua Wuxi walked past Nandao with a swagger.
Nandao watched Hua Wuxi's back leave, and always felt as if something had happened.
Qiu Xi'er was still standing by the lake, Nan Dao walked over, looked at her nervously for a long time, found that there was nothing abnormal, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Why is he here?" ”
Qiu Xi'er said calmly: "It's okay. ”
Nandao was silent for a while, stood under the umbrella with his sword, and said softly, "I hope Mr. can tell me." ”
Qiu Xi'er turned her head to look at Nandao, looked at it for a long time, and then turned her head away.
"What can you tell you?"
Nandao said seriously: "If Mr. is wronged, I will naturally be angry for Mr. ”
Qiu Xi'er smiled dumbly.
"How long have you been seeing the mountain?"
Nandao was silent for a moment and said, "Four days." ”
"On the fourth day of entering the Dao and seeing the mountain, you have to vent your anger for the people of the Xiaodao Realm?"
"Sir also said that in the future, my truth is the greatest truth in the world." Nan Dao looked at Qiu Xi'er's side face and said word by word, "The truth always starts from a young age. ”
Qiu Xi'er looked at the lake calmly, not knowing what she was thinking, and after a long time, she said in a cold voice: "If you have the heart to think about these things, it is better to practice the sword for a while." ”
Nandao looked down at the Peach Blossom Sword in his hand.
"But I learned swords for the sake of my husband."
Qiu Xi'er looked at the young man in front of her and was silent for a while, and said softly: "Even if you want to help me reason, it will be a long time later." ”
As he spoke, he sneered, looked at the direction in which Hua Wuxi left, and said lightly: "The Witch Ghost Divine Sect has been in decline for thousands of years, not to mention a sudden rise of the Northern Witch Dao. ”
Nandao stood under the umbrella, but he could clearly feel the pride and disdain in the words of the woman in front of him.
Qiu Xi'er turned around and walked under the corridor, sat down on the corridor chair, glanced at Pinghu, and opened the book in his hand.
"Probably the world has forgotten why the Sword Grinding Cliff is the leader of the world's sword path."
Qiu Xi'er's voice was calm.
It fell into the lake but it was cold.
Nan Dao stood by the lake, only to feel that the sword intent was full of people, he looked back at the woman sitting quietly in the corridor, and said slowly: "Sir, it's okay." ”
Qiu Xi'er didn't say anything more, as if she was immersed in the world of the book.
Nandao watched for a long time, and then walked back to the magnolia forest road.
The sword was still ugly, but it had pierced a lot of flowers.
Nandao closed his eyes and listened to the whispers of the wind in the woods.
Then he opened his eyes suddenly, stepped forward, and stabbed out with a sword.
Only one flower pierced the blade.
But if you look closely, you will find that there is a hint of yellowish on the petal wound of the magnolia.
If the color is darker.
It's charred black.
This sword.
Soon.
So the temperature of the sword body is very high.
Nandao shook off the flower and looked at the sword in his hand in silence.
It's about to burn.
I don't know what it is.
