Chapter 14: The Search for Immortals

The fat man didn't delay, he shook his head and walked out, and the shopkeeper looked at Yun Qian calmly: "Xiao Qian, do you understand what that person said just now?" ”

Yun Qian said bluntly: "I understand." ”

Shopkeeper Lu walked up to Yun Qian: "I didn't want you to get involved in these cruel things too early, so as not to miss your state of mind in the future, but Uncle Shi has to give you an explanation after all." You are willing to forbear, Uncle Shi is grateful, but there is one thing you must understand, regardless of whether forbearance is good or bad, you need to boil the bitterness yourself. If you want to keep your heart, you have to leave the means. ”

The teachings were earnest, lingering in his mind, Yun Qian savored this truth, and was silent.

The shopkeeper patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be in a hurry, you will have more experience in the future, and you should have some experience." By the way, this morning I heard that the government is hiring Xiang Yong to clear the Longshan Gang with the officers and soldiers, although it is a good thing, but I always feel that things are too coincidental, do you know why? ”

Yun Qian replied affirmatively: "It should be the hero who saved me, after luring away the mountain bandits, he notified the government to send troops. ”

The shopkeeper was puzzled: "Inform the government... After the government cleared it several times to no avail, he became very cautious, and this time he could send troops with a message? ”

Yun Qian didn't dare to speculate: "That's what he said, I don't quite understand the meaning, but it must have something to do with him." ”。

The shopkeeper paced, and then asked, "How does this hero look?" ”

Yun Qian described it in detail, and suddenly thought of one thing, and took off the pendant from his neck: "The hero also said that the texture of this pendant is very special, not only hard and cold-resistant, but also..."

Yun Qian suddenly felt that it was too scary to say about blood sampling, so he simply held back: "Do you know what's going on?" ”

The shopkeeper looked at Xiang Pendant, and his doubts were even worse: "This hero not only knows everything about the fairy family, but also knows the nature of this pendant, so did he say the origin of Xiang Pendant?" ”

Yun Qian shook his head and responded: "The hero doesn't know very well, but he told me not to show it to outsiders again, it may cause disaster." ”

The shopkeeper quietly pondered Yun Qian's answer, and finally sighed helplessly, took the pendant and helped Yun Qian put it on: "That hero is indeed mysterious and extraordinary, and I can't guess the identity, but since he is willing to escort you back to the city, it means that there is no evil intention, you follow it, and don't show it to others in the future." As for the origin, I think it would be more appropriate for you to ask your parents directly when you get home. ”

Yun Qian saw that Uncle Lu Shi was reluctant to say it clearly, and it was not easy to ask, so after chatting a few words, he went back to the house to pack his things and prepare to go home for the second time.

……

This time it went well, and two days later, Yun Qian had returned home. The father was cutting wood in the front yard, and when he saw his son, he was overjoyed: "I guess you have to wait two days before you come back, have you eaten?" ”

Yun Qian helped his father dust off the shavings on his body: "Not yet, Uncle Lu Shi specially arranged a special escort, so he walked fast on the road, a day in advance, what about my mother?" ”

"In the house, I heard that you are sick and are about to add two layers of bedding, you can rest first, and I will give you a hot meal." The father smiled and pointed to the main house.

When my mother heard the voice in the courtyard, she greeted her with a smile: "You're back, are you feeling better?" ”

"It's already much better, this is what Uncle Lu Shi brought to his father, Uncle Lu Shi couldn't pull out, so he asked me to bring it back." Yun Qian smiled and handed a cloth bag to his mother.

The mother took the package and said, "He still has a heart, go into the house first, and I'll take the quilt in to dry." ”

"I'll take it", Yun Qian ran under the clothes pole, picked up the quilt side, and walked to his house with his support. Smelling the smell of the sun and seeing the familiar environment, Yun Qian threw himself on the bed, lazily enjoying the comfort of the moment.

Mother followed: "Why don't you sleep first?" ”

"No, you're busy with other things, I'll sort it out. Does Daddy still work? Yun Qian uncovered the quilt and asked.

"If you can't be idle, you should earn some food, and when you're tired, you can rest." My mother sat on the bench and replied, and asked about the study tour, most of them were 'did they suffer' and 'how did they eat', and they didn't care much about their studies. As he was talking, his father shouted: "Xiao Qian'er, the meal is hot, is it in the courtyard or the house?" ”

Yun Qian trotted to the courtyard: "It's good to eat in the courtyard, and you can still bask in the sun, I'll move the table." ”

The father smiled and said, "I'll go, your mother has nothing to do with things, and the table is not there." ”

However, when he came out with the table and stool, his father seemed a little struggling, and Yun Qian took it over. Feeling that there was nothing to do, his father picked up the planer and went to the side to make wood, occasionally asking about Yun Qian's current situation. Yun Qian said something, but he didn't say a word about the distress. Saying that, Yun Qian suddenly asked, "Do you know the origin of the pendant on my body?" I asked Uncle Lu Shi before, but he didn't want to mention it, so he just asked me to ask you and my mother. ”

The father didn't expect his son to ask about Xiang Shen, and took a sip of tea: "Why did you think of asking this?" ”

Yun Qian put down the dishes and chopsticks: "I met a hero in Lushou City, he said that my pendant was a little special, and asked me to collect it so as not to cause disaster, so I want to know its origin." ”

"What hero?" My father's face grew solemn.

Yun Qian replied: "It was a chivalrous man who stumbled upon the pendant and said that it had a special texture, but it was not unclear, so he made a warning." ”

"Does your Uncle Lu Shi know?" Father asked.

Yun Qian nodded: "Yes, I know." Uncle Shi said, just listen to him." My father answered and didn't say anything.

After her mother rearranged the futon for Yun Qian in the house, she also walked out.

Seeing his parents in person, Yun Qian said with some hesitation: "Daddy, I have something I want to discuss with you. ”

"Well, you say," the father responded.

When the words came to his mouth, Yun Qian couldn't speak, and after hesitating for a long time, he made up a sentence: "Uncle Lu Shixu's fake is almost over, and I have to leave the day after tomorrow." ”

"Is it so urgent?" Father asked.

"I'm really anxious", the mother also said, but found that her son's expression was barely perfunctory, so she asked: "But if you have already agreed with your Uncle Lu, you don't have to discuss it with your father." Do you have other thoughts on your mind? ”

Yun Qian understood that his mother was very sensitive, and he didn't want to insist anymore: "Daddy, I want to cultivate immortals." ”

The mother was a little stunned, but the father was solemn: "This is what Lu Ju taught you?" ”

Yun Qian hurriedly waved his hand: "It's not Uncle Lu Shi, his old man is really teaching me the way of doing business." It's just that I've heard that immortals can live a long time, and maybe they can cure my father's illness. ”

The father reprimanded angrily: "Fart, I don't stop you from reading some strange things on weekdays, but I didn't expect you to be delusional and dare to use your father and mother as an excuse." If anyone can become an immortal, how can there be birth, old age, sickness and death in the world. I'm in good health with your mother, I don't need you to worry about it. He turned around and went back to his bedroom.

The mother watched her son being disciplined and glared at her husband: "You have a bad temper." He poured some bitter tea from the teapot on the table and handed it to Yun Qian: "Xiao Qian'er, I know that you are not a reckless child, but you can't just listen to some rumors and start thinking nonsense. ”

Yun Qian was not convinced: "It's not a rumor, I saw the fairy with my own eyes." ”

The mother tested Yun Qian's forehead with the back of her hand, turned her head to the house and said, "Father, come out to see if your son is stupid by the wind and cold." ”

The father shouted angrily in the house, "Not available." ”

The mother couldn't help but look at Yun Qian, Yun Qian squinted at the eccentric mother, and always felt that she was being teased by her mother again.

The mother pretended to ask mysteriously, "What are the gods?" ”

Yun Qian was also not angry: "Blue." ”

"You really saw the immortals, not the kind of fortune tellers on the street?" Mother asked.

Yun Qian nodded solemnly and said, "Really, they can fly with a sword, and they can also jump from a height of dozens of feet safe and sound." ”

Seeing that Yunqian said carefully, the mother explored the source and looked for the roots: "Has anyone else seen it?" ”

"That hero also saw it, and talked together", saying this, Yun Qian felt wrong, and complained: "Mother, you are talking to me again." ”

Mother comforted softly: "Xiao Qian'er, your words are a little vague when you go home this time, and your words are amazing, my mother wants to know, why do you have this idea." Your father is angry because he is afraid that you have gone astray and you don't know it, and in the end you will ruin your life. ”

Yun Qian looked into his mother's eyes and whispered: "Mother, in fact, before I came back, I had other experiences. Uncle Lu Shi concealed it in the letter, afraid that your second elder would worry. ”

The mother was a little uneasy when she heard this, and shouted into the house: "Dad, you come out, Xiao Qian'er has something to say." ”

The father came out with a teapot with an unhappy face, and sat on the bench without speaking.

Yun Qian ducked beside his mother, bowing his head and recounting his previous experience. In distress on the way, he had to meet heroes and immortals, and in the end, Uncle Lu Shi's disposition was all recounted, for fear of worrying about his parents, when it was dangerous, he only said it lightly, and the stone engraved with 'Shaohu' was also subconsciously skipped by him.

The father was no longer angry, and looked at Yun Qian with an uneasy expression. The mother gently untied Yun Qian's clothes to check the injury, and saw a faint bruise: "Does it still hurt?" ”

Yun Qian shook his head: "It's much better, and I still have some medicine for Uncle Lu Shi's injury." ”

The mother was so heartfelt that she almost cried: "It's still red like this now, how much it hurt at that time." Yun Qian had to comfort his mother again.

The father on the side closed his eyes and stabilized his heart: "I didn't expect to send you to Lu Ju, which almost killed you, and it was a loss for the sky to open your eyes and let you survive this catastrophe." Lu Ju also has a heart, and I will go to Lushou City with you to see him when I go back. ”

Then he looked at Yun Qian solemnly: "Our family has believed in ghosts and gods since your great-grandfather, and also worships ghosts and gods, but never dared to approach ghosts and gods. Not to mention that the road is long and long, I don't know where this road is. I think it's too rash for you to give up your studies just for me and your mother to live a few more years. ”

Mother also echoed: "Yes, Xiao Qian'er, you have encountered such a danger on this trip alone, if you encounter those immortals who don't take human life seriously, how can you live." ”

Yun Qian was unconvinced, but his parents were unwilling, and they no longer defended, so they only responded, and got up to clean up the table and chopsticks.

The sky was red and the sun was slanting, and my father looked at Yun Qian, silently walked to the side and began to do carpentry. After thinking about it, the mother tugged at her husband's clothes: "My son is not happy." ”。

The father pouted: "I'm not happy yet." ”
