Chapter 5 The Little Boy of the East China Sea
On the second day, when You Chunshan went to the town restaurant to help Lu Xiaoer buy noodles with a wooden sword on his back, he was blasted out by the shopkeeper named Wang Xiaoer.
When this unlucky man was hiding from those melon seed shells, he opened the curtain and stepped on the peel of someone who had eaten and fell into.
Wang Xiaoer sneered and stood at the door snorting melon seeds.
You Chunshan rolled over and got up in embarrassment, checked the wooden sword behind him to see if it was broken, and then stretched out his hand to argue there.
"Carrying a wooden sword is not considered sword cultivation, it is called a childhood fantasy, and the matter of a wooden sword can be called sword cultivation?"
Wang Xiaoer sneered and said, "You continue to make it up, I saw you and that young man spend a lot of money on the street to buy other people's children's wooden swords. ”
"I can't even practice, buy a wooden sword and use it as a sword cultivator?"
"You don't even know how to practice, people in your twenties, what are you going to do when you buy a wooden sword? Even if you say that this is a peachwood sword, you want to be a Taoist, and the fantasy is more believable than anything else. ”
You Chunshan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Yes, I am the ..... of the Dao."
The hapless young man had only said half of his words, and then fell silent, looking down at the tip of the wooden sword that was loosely carried behind him.
You Chunshan watched it for a long time, and when he raised his head, he didn't smile, but said softly: "That's right, I'm a sword cultivator." ”
There were many people watching the excitement on the side.
Someone looked at the young man's hungry appearance, pulled the corners of his clothes, and kindly persuaded him.
"The shopkeeper has already given you the stairs ....."
You Chunshan just shook his head, and then walked towards the outside of the town with the wooden sword on his back.
Lu Xiaoer, who was sitting by the stream waiting to eat noodles, turned around and saw You Chunshan who came back empty-handed, and then looked at the wooden sword behind him, with a thoughtful expression.
"You carried a sword on your back and got blasted out?"
You Chunshan nodded, and then took out Lu Xiaoer's money from his arms and counted it, but found that he didn't know when he lost a penny.
Lu Xiaoer didn't care, and reached out to take the money.
You Chunshan stood quietly in the morning breeze for a while, and told Lu Xiaoer what he had just said.
The little boy was stunned for a while.
"You just say that you are a Taoist, after all, it is most suitable for a Taoist to carry a wooden sword. If it were me, I wish the shopkeeper had asked me that. ”
Although Lu Xiaoer doesn't know if he will really do this, it's just that it is reasonable to persuade people to eat a full meal.
You Chunshan sighed and sat down, and then pulled the grass by the stream.
"Of course, you can say whatever you want, because you are indeed a sword cultivator. But I'm different, I'm really not a sword cultivator. ”
Then there will be a kind of shame and shame that someone has pierced the despicable disguise.
Lu Xiaoer turned his head thoughtfully, thought about it, and handed the money in his hand to You Chunshan.
The latter looked at him, probably puzzled.
The young man said, "Then you can go to another place in town and buy some food, I am indeed a little hungry." ”
Lu Xiaoer already knows water, so naturally it is difficult to be hungry, only hungry.
So I'm always thinking of a way to eat a bowl of noodles from that noodle restaurant.
You Chunshan looked at the little boy for a long time, then nodded in the rumbling of his stomach, stood up with the money, and walked towards the town again.
This time, You Chunshan went directly to a restaurant in the town.
You Chunshan walked in the door and lined up the counter.
"The shopkeeper has two bowls of noodles."
The shopkeeper who had just been there watching the bustle sat behind the counter and looked at the young man with the wooden sword on his back with a smile.
"Are you a sword cultivator or a Taoist?"
You Chunshan was stunned, and then silently took the money back.
The shopkeeper looked at You Chunshan, who was about to leave so simply, but put away that smile.
"Sword cultivators can eat here. I'm just asking. ”
You Chunshan shook his head and smiled, and said, "But I don't want to answer this kind of question that will be made fun of. ”
The shopkeeper looked at the back of You Chunshan walking out, but didn't say anything more.
Just glanced down at the young man.
......
Lu Xiaoer finally began to eat noodles.
It was You Chunshan who walked all the way to the other end of the town and bought it.
Because I had walked too far, my noodles were all dry.
However, the two of them still sat by the stream and finished the two bowls of noodles.
Lu Xiaoer looked at You Chunshan on the side again.
"So why didn't you say that you were a sword cultivator this time?"
You Chunshan said frankly: "Because I'm afraid that if I talk too much, everyone will ask if I am a sword cultivator." ”
"Then you just say you are, don't you?"
You Chunshan sighed and said, "Do you think I am?" ”
Lu Xiaoer said seriously: "Yes." ”
The little boy looked at this unlucky young man and continued: "I have a junior disciple named Lu Xiaosan, who probably hasn't really embarked on the path of cultivation yet, but every day he is there and is ashamed to say that he is a great sword immortal in the world, I think you should learn from him." ”
Lu Xiaoer naturally didn't know that his third junior brother was already inexplicably able to see the mountain, and he had the self-reputation of seeing the mountain and seeing the little sword immortal.
You Chunshan thought for a while and said, "But he can also practice." ”
Lu Xiaoer was silent.
Although this unlucky young man has a sword, he doesn't know swordsmanship, he can only chop flowers, he can't practice, and he can only be in a daze.
Lu Xiaoer thought about it, stood up with his sword, and waded through the stream towards the opposite bank.
You Chunshan looked at the back of the little boy and didn't know what he was going to do.
"Division.... So who, what are you going to do? ”
"Help people to the end, I'll ask Uncle Xia to see if I can let you try to practice the cultivation method of the Tianya Sword Sect."
You Chunshan thought about the young uncle who was quite mysterious and stood on the cliff with an umbrella, so he also followed.
The two walked all the way to the bottom of the cliff, You Chunshan carried the wooden sword on his back, standing outside the sword steps and looking out, probably wanting to go up to have a look, but looking at the sword intent that slashed the wind in the world, he still gave up this idea.
So he watched Lu Xiaoer carry the sword on his back and walk towards the cliff little by little.
Lu Xiaoer ran farther this time, stood at a position of more than sixty zhang, looked into the depths of the clouds for a long time, put his hands around his lips, and called loudly.
"Uncle Shi! Teacher! ”
The cliff was full of clouds and mist, and Lu Xiaoer was waiting there with a sword.
After a long time, I saw my uncle come out of the depths of the clouds.
Nandao looked at Lu Xiaoer with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Xiaoer briefly talked about You Chunshan.
Nandao raised an eyebrow and looked at the young man under the cliff.
The little boy said very seriously: "I want him to try to practice the cultivation method of the Tianya Sword Sect, does Uncle Shi think it's okay?" ”
Nan Dao looked at Lu Xiaoer and said, "You can decide such a thing yourself." ”
The young man stood there with his sword on his back.
"After all, Uncle Shi is here, so it's better to ask."
Nandao looked at Lu Xiaoer strangely and said, "Are you afraid that you won't be able to suppress his bad luck." ”
Lu Xiaoer lowered his head a little weakly.
After all, falling on the ground is still very deterrent for Lu Xiaoer.
If it was the original Nandao of Nanyi City, he would probably have some interest in this matter, and maybe he would ask Lu Xiaoer to tell him - those who recite my real name can avoid falling to the ground.
It's just that Nandao probably didn't have the heart to pay attention to this kind of thing, but silently looked at You Chunshan who was carrying a wooden sword under the cliff for a while, and then said very calmly: "Go ahead." ”
Lu Xiaoer nodded, walked towards the bottom of the cliff, walked halfway, and turned to look at Nandao again.
"What is Uncle Shi doing on the cliff now?"
"Sharpen your sword."
Lu Xiaoer took a deep breath.
Sharpening a sword is, of course, an ordinary thing, and sword cultivation has sharpened swords.
Just sharpening a sword on such a cliff is undoubtedly a difficult thing not to think about.
"Uncle Shi is really going to enter the cliff?"
Lu Xiaoer's eyes widened.
Nandao said very calmly: "No, it's just sharpening the sword and thinking about something." ”
"Oh."
Lu Xiaoer lowered his head in some disappointment.
Although for this little boy, if his uncle is really about to enter the cliff, it will be a little frustrating.
Just thinking that this is a sword cultivator who came from Lingnan, maybe more, it will be an exciting news.
In fact, from the very beginning, no one thought that this teenager would stay in Lingnan.
Lu Xiaoxiao and they have always regarded such a young man as a person who sharpens the sword cliff.
......
When You Chunshan watched the little boy who was a little depressed walking down from the cliff, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart.
"Uncle Shi.... Isn't your uncle allowed? ”
Lu Xiaoer glanced at You Chunshan and said, "It doesn't matter if you call me senior uncle, just don't call me senior brother, he naturally didn't say that it was not allowed." ”
You Chunshan was a little around, probably too nervous, so he couldn't understand it very well.
So Lu Xiaoer said again very simply.
"I can teach you."
You Chunshan breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them walked back towards the stream, and then sat down on the side of the stream.
The cultivation methods in the world are actually much the same, they are all from that kind of book of five thousand words.
What's more, this is probably not a secret thing, it is the swordsmanship of the Tianya Sword Sect, which is stored in the library of the Hanging Xue Courtyard for the world to read.
Therefore, Lu Xiaoer really just thinks that Uncle Shi is here, and it is always a little unreasonable for him to make decisions on his own, so he asks this question.
You Chunshan sat there very sincerely, listening to Lu Xiaoer talk about those things.
Although Lu Xiaoer is a member of the Little White Sword Sect, he can also be regarded as a person from half of the Tianya Sword Sect, and the two Sword Sects have depended on each other for thousands of years, and when they go out, naturally they are the same.
You Chunshan naturally went to some sword sects in the East China Sea at the beginning.
It's just a pity that just like Lu Xiaoer thought at the beginning, if he was in Lingnan, he might not be a half-sword cultivator.
The apprentices in the East China Sea are naturally much stricter, not to mention people like You Chunshan who have no roots in heaven and earth, even if they have slightly worse roots in heaven and earth, they probably won't want them.
Therefore, You Chunshan naturally did not practice.
It's just that some things, which have been proven, are naturally not so easy to overturn.
The young man with the wooden sword on his back sat by the stream, wrote down the things that the twelve-year-old boy said, and practiced earnestly all morning according to those methods, but still did not feel anything.
Lu Xiaoer naturally also said the method of sword intent cultivation.
It's just like Lu Xiaosan at the beginning, although he holds a very good sword, he doesn't have vitality in his body, so he can't contain such a sword intent seed.
The sword intent seed cannot be cultivated, so naturally it cannot be regarded as sword cultivation, and can only be called a swordsman.
But fortunately, it was Lu Xiaoer who sat by the stream, not Nandao.
If it were the South Island, it would probably feel hopeless.
But Lu Xiaoer is different, this is a Lingnan sword cultivator who is serious, and when he saw You Chunshan who was not moving, he didn't say anything sad, just stood up and walked towards the town.
"Take your time. Maybe you'll have a sense of weather? ”
As the sun gradually deviated towards the west, the young man's comfort seemed a little careless.
It's just that in such a creekside story, it is naturally sincere enough.
"Uh-huh."
......
"Did you get a sword for that unlucky guy you were talking about?"
Lao Li leaned against the sword-casting furnace and rested, looked at Lu Xiaoer and asked.
Lu Xiaoer picked up the sword embryo and looked at it for a while, then changed the side and continued to beat.
"Got it."
“!”
Lao Li was probably a little surprised.
"Who's where to buy it, you can buy it for 700 yuan? Defective products that won't be sold will ruin the reputation of our town. Although everyone earns their own money, they can't break the rules. ”
"I bought it on the side of the road, a wooden sword in the hand of a seven-year-old boy."
“?”
Lao Li's eyes widened and he came over.
"Wooden sword? Did he give up on himself? ”
Lu Xiaoer turned his head to look at the blacksmith and said sincerely, "I persuaded him to buy it." ”
“...... Got the rebate? ”
"Where do I go to get kickbacks."
"Hahahaha, then you're not working in vain?"
The little boy stopped what he was doing, but said very seriously: "It's not in vain. ”
"At least add some laughing stock to the town."
Another blacksmith by the fireside interjected and said with a smile.
The young man didn't continue, but just played the iron quietly.
Ultimately.
This is the East China Sea, and I am a Lingnan person.
Sometimes the tastes of food don't fit together, so you don't have to go through a lot of trouble to explain a lot of things.
Lu Xiaoer finished the day's blacksmithing work, took back his Xiwu sword from Lao Li's hand, and then put on his clothes, walked out of the yard, blowing the evening breeze of the seaside town in spring, and slowly walked towards the outside of the town.
I just don't know why, the little boy walked halfway, changed directions, and walked towards the noodle shop.
Wang Xiaoer was sitting outside the noodle restaurant munching melon seeds, since he didn't sell noodles to Jian Xiu, plus those things in the East China Sea, there were many fewer people coming and going in the town than before, and he was a lot more leisurely.
So the little boy named Lu Xiaoer, who came here with a sword on his back, was very eye-catching.
Especially the teenager is quite handsome and good-looking.
But no matter how good-looking it is, it's also a sword cultivation, Wang Xiaoer thought very calmly.
Wang Xiaoer felt that this young man was very hateful.
After seeing him trick the young man who fell on the ground yesterday and bought a sword with a lot of money.
As soon as he speaks, even if it is a twelve-year-old boy, he must scold him for blood.
Wang Xiaoer thought like this, and he became more energetic when he swallowed the melon seeds, and silently thought about those fragrant words in his heart.
Lu Xiaoer finally came to the front of the noodle shop.
Wang Xiaoer clenched the melon seeds in his hand, took a deep breath, and was about to tongue the lotus flower, but saw the little boy in front of him bend down directly, and then picked out a copper coin from the stone slab for a while.
The shopkeeper of the noodle restaurant, whose face was like a flat lake and had a thunderous chest, held his breath, but the young man just came to pick up the penny he had lost in the morning, so he choked back with all his breath, choked himself half to death, and coughed there to make a pig bark.
Lu Xiaoer glanced at him silently, and then turned around and left here without saying a word.
Wang Xiaoer coughed for a long time before he finally came to his senses and looked at the little boy's back with some anger.
"Stop!"
Lu Xiaoer looked back at the shopkeeper suspiciously.
Wang Xiaoer stretched out his hand and pointed at the little boy, thought for a long time, and didn't know what to say, and finally shook his hand, as if he was going to crash himself to death on the curtain, and crashed into the store.
Lu Xiaoer tilted his head and looked in through the window on the side, and saw that the shopkeeper was drinking wine there, and he was drunk to relieve his sorrows.
This also made Lu Xiaoer a little curious, what happened to the shopkeeper of this noodle restaurant that made him hate sword cultivation so much.
Could it be that he once fell in love with a white-clothed sword cultivator woman, but was ruthlessly abandoned?
So from love to hate, the same disgust for every sword cultivator in the world?
Lu Xiaoer thought wildly and walked towards the outside of the town.
The white coat is real.
Everything else is fake.
.......
When Lu Xiaoer returned to the riverside, he saw You Chunshan sitting there very excitedly.
The little boy was amazed.
"Have you found your senses?"
You Chunshan held the wooden sword in his arms, looked back at the little boy and said, "No, but I don't seem to be hungry anymore, and I don't have any thoughts of eating." Maybe I already have a sense of qi in my body, but I haven't noticed it yet. ”
“...... Even if a cultivator is on Sunday, he will feel hungry, and only when he enters the Tao and sees the mountain, the vitality in his body can form a vortex and can be used, so that people don't have to eat. You're overly hungry. ”
You Chunshan's dream was ruthlessly punctured by Lu Xiaoer.
It's like a fish watching the twilight spit bubbles comfortably by the stream, but a little kid who doesn't understand the amorous style runs over and 'poofs' and stabs it.
I saw how charming Qingshan was, and Qingshan saw that I was a little fool.
You Chunshan put the sword on his knee again and sighed.
"So what else can I do? I ran out of money, and I wanted to catch a fish, but I tripped over the grass in the water and. ”
Lu Xiaoer found that You Chunshan's clothes were still a little wet, so yesterday was probably really eating dumplings for the New Year.
Silent for a while, the little boy said with a little guilt: "I'm sorry, why don't you go to the town to wash some dishes and make some money?" ”
"I'm going to break it with the pots and bowls."
You Chunshan turned his head and looked at the little boy with a blank look.
"Who, get me something to eat."
This sentence sounds very impolite.
But this is You Chunshan's greatest courtesy.
Lu Xiaoer took out some copper coins from his arms, feeling as if he had been entangled in something unclean.
If this continues, when will I be able to help Uncle Shi buy a yard in the East China Sea?
