Chapter 63: Sustenance and Destiny
The wind raged in the mountain stream, like countless ghosts wailing.
The summer wind always brings a few people comfortably, because it makes the whole summer less stuffy, but the haze in Fengya's heart has not been swept away by this wind.
This is the first time he has left his mother, and he has walked such a long distance, Sun Siya wants to take him to meet the mysterious teacher, Jing Jian.
Meng Li did hesitate for a while after hearing the news, but finally gritted her teeth and agreed with Sun Siya's decision, "Since there is no way to get promoted in the Young Martial Arts Hall, then listen to the teacher, I hope this kid will not live up to your expectations." ”
Maybe that's just her own expectation, right?
Sun Siya is not a philanthropist, it is already very benevolent to be able to take in their mother and son to stay in Qingwutang to end their wandering life, any charity must be based on a certain return, Mengli and Sun Siya have no relationship and emotion, presumably Mengli is also well aware of this, in order to save enough tuition for Fengya, Mengli followed the cleaning work of Youwutang without complaint, and there will be a certain amount of remuneration every month, and these rewards are the economic source to maintain Fengya's study in Youwutang......
Now, Zhilu Dao Fengya could no longer stay in the Young Martial Arts Hall and had to visit a master far away, and she gave almost all of her savings to Sun Siya.
And Sun Siya did not refuse, even if Feng Ya was watching from the sidelines, he still firmly took the blood that Mengli handed her, crumpled, not much, in his eyes it was almost a joke, but he still took it......
After doing all this, Mengli held Fengya in her arms, and her voice was a little choked, "Child, you must fight for yourself, practice your kung fu well, be a great person, be high, and never be looked down upon again!"
The words pierced his young heart like an awl, and Fengya's heart had never hurt so much, even when he was wandering before, even if he was living on the streets. That was the first time he had an unprecedented hatred for money!
"Okay, mother, I will definitely work hard to live up to your expectations. ”
......
Thinking of the scene of parting that day, his eyes suddenly moistened again, his mother was his only support in this life, and her hard work and fatigue were in his eyes, vividly...... What should I do in this life to repay her kindness in this life?
For the poor, from birth there is a mountain on their shoulders, a mountain that cannot be moved, it is very high and big, it blocks the sun and all the good, it covers the fresh air and the fragrance of flowers, you can't breathe, and the wind is like that, but he is still young and still has illusions.
No matter how hard and tired and injured you are, if you have illusions, there is still a glimmer of hope, but when you are disillusioned, it will really be a catastrophe!
It's just that what awaits on the road to the future of Fengya is whether it will be bright or doomed, none of us can say - because of fate, no one can understand it!
See, sometimes the unknown is good because it always gives you a hint of fantasy.
The residence of the mysterious teacher called Jing Jian was actually not too far away, compared to the vast Dragon Soul Empire, that place and the imperial capital were above one county, and the Dragon Soul Empire had twenty-four counties.
The northeast region of Nanyang County, bordering Huaiyang County, is a place where strange peaks and mountains are connected, and it is an extremely rare landscape in the entire Longlu Empire, because there are many dangerous peaks in strange mountains, which are divided into eight big peaks, and there are eight dangerous canyons correspondingly, so it is called 'Eight Valley Peak'!
And Jing Jian lives on this Eight Valley Peak!
This road is mostly a convoy of merchant horses, far away from the imperial city, there are often bandits haunted, although the government tightens martial law, but still can't stop those bloodthirsty bandits. It's already the third day, and it should be two more days away from Hachiya Peak. Untied the water bag from the horse, took a sip of it himself, and then handed it to Fengya, "Fengya, do you know what kind of place this is?"
Feng Ya took a sip of water, looked at the mountain stream in front of him, and shook his head. "I don't know where this is?"
"It's called 'Don't look back,' which means you don't have to look back when you walk from here. Sun Siya explained.
Fengya's eyes widened, "For what?"
"Because there is a group of bandits living here, who kill people without blinking, all those who pass by here must throw some of them on the ground, and only beat their horses all the way, and they cannot look back, and if you don't turn back, they won't take your life, and if you turn back, they will kill you!"
Feng Ya's face turned pale with fright, "How can there be such a thing? Doesn't the government care? This is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and it is only three days away from the imperial city?"
Sun Siya smiled: "What's so strange about this, why don't you ask why those bandits ask passers-by to 'don't look back'?"
Fengya let out an 'oh' sound, and sure enough, asked, "What is that for?"
Sun Siya nodded his little nose and smiled: "That's because the bandit is very famous, almost everyone can recognize him, and it doesn't matter if everyone doesn't look back, once they look back and see his true face, then the world will know it, so he asked everyone not to look back, for fear of being recognized." ”
Feng Ya was confused, scratched his head and said: "How can I be confused, what you said seems to be a bit messy, I always feel that something is wrong, wait a while, let me think about it." He scratched his ears and cheeks for a while before he suddenly said: "By the way, since you said that the bandit is very famous and everyone knows him, that is to say, you don't need to look back to know his identity, since you already know his identity, what is the difference between turning back and not looking back? Could it be that the bandit is a fool?"
Sun Siya said with a smile: "That's right, that bandit is indeed a fool, and only a fool would set such a ridiculous rule, but although the fool is stupid, his kung fu is indeed very good, which everyone has to admit." If you break the rules, maybe you may really be cut off by him, so even if most people know that he is a fool, they dare not violate his rules, do things according to the rules, leave the money to walk, and never look back, but it is indeed safe, and the fool is also very principled, which is not bad. “
Feng Ya nodded and said, "Is it because everyone thinks he is a fool and has strong martial arts, so he has been conniving at him for so many years and has not asked the government to deal with this matter?"
Sun Siya nodded and said: "That's right, this kid is very foolish, you will know the Tao later, unless it is some unlucky ghost from a foreign country who is not familiar with life, the local people will never make such a mistake." “
Feng Ya said: "Then wait a minute, where should we leave the silver, and how much silver should we keep?"
Sun Siya patted his little shoulder and said, "Wait a minute, you will know the way, don't worry about it." "Lift the reins of the horse, 'Ride!' and the horse galloped angrily, and in the blink of an eye it had turned over the bend in front of it and was gone!
The wind was galloping, the cool breeze was blowing in his ears, it was refreshing and comfortable, Feng Ya couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and felt that the whole person seemed to be flying on horseback! "Teacher Sun, are we going to escape? At such a fast speed, the bandit shouldn't be able to catch up, right?"
Sun Siya smiled and 'drove' again, and the horse ran faster, but he didn't answer him.
Wednesday, March 12, 2014 at 20:56
After running forward for almost a pillar of incense, he suddenly heard the sound of the surrounding mountains and forests, at first Feng Ya thought it was the sound of the wind, but after a while, he suddenly felt that the sound was not at all like the sound of the wind! Remembering what Sun Siya said before, he couldn't help but pat Sun Siya on the shoulder nervously and said, "Teacher, did you hear it? It seems that there is some movement in the forest." ”
Sun Siya nodded and said, "You have good ears, I heard it too, do you know what it is?"
Feng Ya shook his head and said, "I don't know how to ...... Dao" and then said: "It can't be the bandit you said that makes people not look back, right?"
Sun Siya nodded and said, "That's right, you guessed right." ”
Feng Ya was startled, "That'...... What are we going to do now? Do you want to keep the silver?"
Sun Siya smiled, "If others can do things according to the rules, but if I say it, not only will I not leave him silver, but I may have to ask him for silver!"
Feng Ya was even more surprised, "Teacher, that person is so powerful, can you beat him?"
If nothing happens next week, I'm going to sign a deed of sale...... Hehe......
