As Shi Cheng said, the next morning, a light rain began to fall in the sky, and the rain became heavier near noon, and the small dirt roads in Xianyou Village were watered into small quagmire by the rain.

"It feels like it's hard to move an inch." Wu Neng poked his head out of the wooden door, which was unable to shelter from the wind and rain, and looked at the rain scene outside the house.

"Tomorrow I will practice martial arts as usual, and I will change to the house." Tie Mian, who was meditating, closed his eyes and said lightly.

"You say this as if I'm going to be lazy." Wu Neng turned his head and said dissatisfiedly, "Am I such a person who has no perseverance?" ”

Shi Cheng didn't join the two of them, he seemed to remember something, and kept rummaging through the boxes and cabinets in his storage bag.

After a few moments, Shi Cheng seemed to have finally found what he needed, and he took out three pills from his storage bag, and then threw two of them to Tie Mian and Wu Neng.

"This pill has the effect of dispelling dampness, you just swallow it directly, the dampness will be very heavy during this time, this pill is good for healing. Lao Wu, you also eat one, although the injury on your body is light, but don't be careless. Shi Cheng said as he looked helplessly at the stagnant water that had gathered on the ground inside the house.

"It's still Lao Shi who knows how to care about people." Wu Neng took the pill thrown by Shi Cheng with a smile on his face, and after saying thank you several times in a row, he said in a strange manner.

The heavy rain continued for several days, which made it inconvenient for Shi Cheng, who still needed to recuperate, to go out to visit the patients in the village who needed to be cared for.

After dinner today, Aguer's two children came over to listen to Shi Cheng's story as usual.

It has been raining heavily in the village these days, and the sad faces of the adults correspond to the joyful expressions of the children when they receive a new toy from God, such as a small pool.

For Kanda and Diya, they are even more free of homework these days, and they don't have to go to Jika's house to admire the former village chief's thunderous fat face, so the brother and sister are happier than the other children in the village.

However, there are gains and losses, under the strict discipline of the adults at home, the children did not dare to play in the heavy rain for too long, so at night, the brother and sister who became more and more familiar with Shi Cheng and the three simply ignored the parents' warnings not to disturb the rest of the immortals, and they smiled and pestered Shi Cheng to be coquettish, and stayed in the hut where the three lived longer and longer, hoping to hear more novel stories from the mouth of this knowledgeable immortal uncle.

"The story we are going to tell today takes place in the country of Elamite a long time ago." Shi Cheng said with a smile as always.

The four listeners, two large and two small, all pricked up their ears, and Kanda asked curiously, "Uncle Immortal, where is the Elamite Kingdom?" ”

"I know this, in the westernmost part of the Wanli Mountain Continent." Wu Neng couldn't wait to reply.

"Frog what...... Mountain porridge? The siblings looked at each other in confusion.

"It's Wanli Mountain Plain." Shi Cheng learned the pronunciation of Fang Cai Wu Neng, and re-read the word word by word, "Or you can also call it Shanyuanzhou-Old Wu, when translating the word Shanyuanzhou, speak more slowly—in short, it is in the west of your village, a very distant place separated from the village by countless Dao Mountains. ”

"Is it as wide as the river east of the village?" Diya asked with a look of longing.

"It's a lot wider than that." Shi Cheng said with a smile.

After the two children sighed for a while, they finally quieted down and listened to Shi Cheng's story.

The story is about what happened between an ancient Elamite warrior and a mythical bird that lived on the top of the mountain, and Shi Cheng told the story in a gripping way, even after being translated by Wu Neng, which made the expressions on the faces of the two children constantly change as the plot develops.

When Kanda and Diya heard that the Warrior's father had abandoned him because the Warrior was born with gray hair, both siblings looked indignant; After hearing that the warrior had been adopted by the Divine Bird and was safe and sound, the brother and sister finally breathed a sigh of relief; When the Warrior's father repented and took the Warrior back from the Sacred Bird, the two children were relieved by this, but also felt disappointed by the difference between the Warrior and the Sacred Bird.

After telling all this, Shi Cheng told the story of the warrior after returning home. He talked about how the warriors stood out in China and overwhelmed the crowd; tells how the warrior traveled to a foreign land and met a princess in a foreign land; tells how the warrior and the princess got rid of many obstacles, and finally had a lover to become a family; At the end of the story, the princess is seriously ill and the warrior is grief-stricken, but at the critical moment, the bird reappears, saving the princess's life, and finally everything is turned around, and everyone is happy again.

This time the story told by Shi Cheng was very long, but the siblings Kanda and Diya were full of relish and attention from beginning to end. The expressions on the faces of the two children also change vividly as the story progresses.

Looking at the two serious and lovely children in front of him, Shi Cheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, childhood is still the only time in this life when people don't have to wear masks.

After the story was told, the two little sparrows chatted and discussed as usual, Shi Cheng sat aside with a smile and flipped up the notes he had placed at the bedside,

There is no bookstore in Kawa Country, so there are really not many pastimes that Shi Cheng can find, and when he is bored, the most thing Shi Cheng does is to look through Shi Zhantian's notes carried in the storage bag. Tie Mian, who was recuperating in the same room, couldn't help but wonder and wonder what was written in the notes, it seemed that Shi Cheng would never get tired of reading it.

After the two little sparrows had been chattering for a long time, the little sparrow named Diya seemed to be unable to talk about her brother in some places, and she puffed out her cheeks in annoyance, and turned her head away from paying attention to her brother. Diya's gaze fell on Shi Cheng, who was looking through his notes on the side, and asked curiously, "Uncle Immortal, what are you looking at?" ”

Shi Cheng could understand Di Ya's question, he said "um", raised his head, frowned and thought for a while, and then replied simply in Chu Ze: "Uncle, I'm learning from you to speak." ”

The two little sparrows were surprised, Wu Neng was also stunned, and after a while, he understood what Shi Cheng meant, and he hurriedly asked Shi Cheng: "Old Shi, you don't want to say that you are practicing Chu Ze, right?" ”

"Uh...... That's what it means. ”

Wu Neng was speechless, he quickly turned his head and explained to the two children for a while, only to make Kanda and Diya understand a little.

Tie Mian turned his head and asked suspiciously, "Is there still this kind of content in Senior Shi's notes?" ”

"When my master was traveling around, he also learned the languages of many countries, and compiled the vocabulary and grammar of some of them into some notes." Shi Cheng shook the notes in his hand as he spoke, "Although the content is not complete, it is qualified as a tool for learning languages." ”

After saying this, Shi Cheng took out a few large sheets of neatly folded thick paper from his notebook and threw it to Tie Mian in the air, "You can open it and take a look, this is the vocabulary list of Chu Zeyu, you can study it when you have nothing to do." If you don't understand something, you can ask Lao Wu, it just right, you teach him martial arts, he teaches you foreign languages, teach each other as teachers, and complement each other. ”

Iron Mask took the glossary without expression, unfolded the thick paper, and glanced at it roughly.

On the thick paper are columns of neat and clear small characters written with a thin tube of ink pen, the first page is written on the pronunciation practice method of Chu Ze, and from the second page onwards is a glossary, each column is Chu Ze script on the left, and on the right side is the corresponding Cheta script.

"On board...... Petting...... The opponent ......" Iron Mask looked at them one by one.

"By the way, Uncle Immortal, I heard from my father, are you going to leave the village in a while?" Diawu's big eyes looked at Shi Cheng and Wu Neng back and forth, with a deep reluctance in his eyes.

As early as a few days ago, Shi Cheng had revealed to the Aguer couple that the three of them would leave Xianyou Village in more than a month.

The Aguer couple were naturally quite reluctant to Shi Cheng and the others, but when they were talking, Shi Cheng was still keenly aware of the relief in the hearts of the two couples.

At first, Shi Cheng didn't take it to heart, after all, the three of them had been staying at Aguer's house for so many days, even if Aguer and his wife only needed to cook more food every day, these extra burdens were not small for the family. Although the family background of Aguer's family can rank among the top few in the village, this is just the tallest among the short ones. In terms of food and clothing, Aguer's family can't be compared with those poor families in the Western Desert Country. Judging from the standards in Shi Cheng's heart, the only people in Xianyou Village who live decently are the former village chief Jika's family.

Although Shi Cheng had taken out some gold as a reward before, but now that the war in Kawa Country has just ended, everything is still very chaotic, which makes Aguer unable to use the gold in his hand to spend money in Kawa City for a while. What's more, in Xianyou Village, which has become accustomed to bartering, the gold that Shi Cheng gave to Aguer's family may not be as good as a basket of dried fish in terms of practical value.

However, this opinion was quickly overturned by Shi Cheng in his heart, because he suddenly thought that Agul's wife Meda had not seemed to have a good face since she returned from a visit to Jika's house during this time.

Shi Cheng remembered the undisguised malicious gaze that Jika had cast at the three of them at the last villagers' meeting.

Maybe Shi Cheng thought about it a lot, no matter what, every bit of this month or so is an unforgettable time worth remembering for the Aguer family and Shi Cheng.

"There is a saying in my uncle's hometown, there is no banquet in the world, and the general meaning of this sentence is that no matter how good a friend is, there will always be a time for difference." Shi Cheng smiled and said to Di Ya in Chu Ze language, "But then again, there will always be goodbye if there is fate, even if we are separated temporarily, good friends will meet again." ”

Kanda was smarter than his sister, and he quickly understood the meaning of Shi Cheng's words, and said excitedly: "That means, will Uncle Immortal and Brother Immortal come back to tell me and my sister stories in the future?" ”

Diya also followed her brother and hurriedly said: "Uncle Immortal and Brother must come back to see us, Grandma doesn't know what she's busy with these days, and she doesn't play with me and my brother much, I'm bored to death." ”

Shi Cheng smiled and nodded.
