Volume 1 The Walking Boy in the World Chapter 22 The Leap of the Fish (Finale)
When Brother Ma came downstairs again, there was an extra three-inch-high wine gourd in his hand, and Brother Ma held it in his hand like an ordinary handle.
Brother Ma came to Yu Yu and said, "Bring it." ”
Yu Yu was stunned, what did he bring?
Brother Ma couldn't help but be annoyed when he saw Yu Yu stunned: "You don't really want two jars, do you?"
Yu Yu immediately came back to his senses and said, "How can that." ”
Brother Ma calmed down a little and said, "The wine bag for wine." ”
Yu Yu understood and said happily: "I don't have it, but you can wait for me." ”
Brother Ma waved his hand and took the little gourd back into his arms, lying on the counter, looking loveless.
Yu Yu ran to the grocery store in the town and bought a wine bag, which was not big, barely enough to hold about a catty.
Back to the pharmacy, Brother Ma looked at the wine bag in Yu Yu's hand and then had a happy look, took the wine bag, Brother Ma did not shy away from it, in front of Yu Yu, took out the wine gourd from his arms, pulled out the stopper, and a strong aroma of wine came from it, and then the mouth of the gourd was tilted, and a clear stream flowed out of it, poured into the wine bag, until the wine bag was full, and the small gourd was poured.
Yu Yu stood aside and watched in amazement, thinking in his heart what this little gourd was made of, and how much liquor it contained in this gourd.
"Brother Ma, how much liquor is in this little gourd?" Yu Yu asked curiously.
Brother Ma glanced at Yu Yu vigilantly, and asked nervously, "What do you want to do?"
Yu Yu laughed embarrassedly, and said weakly: "It's okay, it's just curious." ”
Brother Ma didn't believe Yu Yu's nonsense, but he didn't want to break it, and said: "This little gourd is my master's treasure, you don't have to be curious about how much wine is in it, but one thing can tell you, do you know the big river behind the mountain?"
Yu Yu nodded.
"This little gourd has been broken for three days, and it has not yet been filled. ”
Yu Yu was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.
Brother Ma was triumphant, threw the wine bag into Yu Yu's arms with a flick of his hand, and scolded in his mouth: "Take the wine too, get out of here." ”
Yu Yu walked out of the pharmacy in a daze with the wine bag in his arms, and his mind kept haunting Ma Xiaoge's words: The river has been broken for three days, and it is not full!
In the following days, Yu Yu's life gradually calmed down, in addition to going up the mountain to chop wood every day, the rest is to practice boxing, of course, the set of boxing techniques that his mother handed over to him, he didn't dare to practice for the time being, and gradually Yu Yu discovered the difference between these two boxing methods, Jia Han taught Yu Yu the three punches, the practice is mediocre, but it is very practical for Yu Yu at this time, not to mention the physical fitness, the strength has obviously risen a lot, no longer like before, after practicing boxing, he is always out of breath, sweating profusely, and with the weird way of breathing, Yu Yu feels that he has to be a little stronger every day。
In this way, a month passed, one evening, Yu Yu had just finished practicing boxing, and was going back to the room to rest, but he saw a person outside the courtyard, Yu Yu's eyes were very good, and he could see from a distance that the person who came was the old shopkeeper of the pharmacy.
The old shopkeeper is too old, his beard and hair are white, but his back is not hunched, his waist is not bent, he is holding a birthday cane in his hand, and his steps are steady.
Yu Yu hurriedly greeted him, came to the old shopkeeper, first saluted, and then said, "Old man, you are here." ”
The old shopkeeper raised his eyes and looked at Yu Yu quietly, speechless for a while.
From the eyes of the old shopkeeper, for some reason Yu Yu saw a trace of sadness, Yu Yu gently tugged in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Old man, do you have anything wrong?"
The old shopkeeper was very abnormal today, and only said after a while: "It's okay, the second child is not sensible, I was not at home with the boss some time ago, and the second child watched in the shop, but I didn't expect to cause a lot of trouble, and the old man came today to see you." ”
Yu Yu smiled slightly: "Don't worry, old man, I will definitely do what I promised Brother Ma, and I will leave in a few days." ”
The old shopkeeper smiled and said, "Don't worry, what you said, don't worry." ”
Yu Yu was relieved in his heart, and understood that the old shopkeeper was not here to ask the master, and immediately said: "It's cold outside, and the old shopkeeper has walked so far, so he went into the house to drink tea and rest." ”
The old shopkeeper shook his head and said, "It's not too early, so I won't bother you." ”
Yu Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help and said, "I'll send you." ”
The old shopkeeper waved his hand and ignored it, turned to leave.
Before leaving, the old shopkeeper said: "The second child is not sensible and breaks the rules, so he will be punished." ”
When Yu Yu heard this, he felt guilty in his heart and wanted to say a few more words to intercede for Ma Xiaoer, but the old shopkeeper didn't reply, and didn't give Yu Yu a chance to speak.
The sky gradually darkened, the night of early spring was silent, the residual snow on the roadside also became hard porcelain, and the feet stepped on it to make a clicking sound, which was very harsh, and the old shopkeeper followed suit, walking slowly.
A tall figure at the entrance of the town is not afraid of the cold wind and waits there.
The old shopkeeper walked to the man's side and spoke first: "You are so optimistic about him?"
The man had a warm smile on his face, and slowly spoke: "Do your best, know the destiny of heaven." ”
"In my eyes, he's just a kid. ”
"Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement!"
When the old shopkeeper heard this, his expression was angry, and he said three good words in a row: "Good, good, good! ”
The gentleman was unmoved, and then said: "That day, I asked him if the fish and shrimp in the stream were comparable to the dragon in the river, and he said that it was not. ”
The old shopkeeper blew his beard and glared, and said sharply: "Of course it can't be compared, as long as you are not a fool, you know, but although Jiao is strong, he ends up with a corpse that can be divided into people, and his body and spirit are destroyed, this is what you want to see?"
"His surname is Yu, and he can't hide from this, and he can't escape. ”
The old shopkeeper was speechless, and he could no longer say half a word, because he knew that what the gentleman said was the truth.
"Thank you. Seeing that the old shopkeeper was leaving, the gentleman said sincerely.
The old shopkeeper didn't look back, but the old shopkeeper's old voice floated in the air: "Thank me for what?"
The gentleman smiled slightly, his lips moved slightly, and he muttered: "Thank you for renewing Miss Su's life for ten years, and it is not in vain for all these years of searching." "It's just that the wind is too loud, and the sound disappears without a trace.
The figure of the old shopkeeper gradually disappeared into the night, but before disappearing, he left a sentence: "I'm old, and I can't take care of it......"
The gentleman smiled and looked up at the starry sky......
Day 2
Before dawn, Yu Yu got up early and packed his luggage, he thought about it very late last night, and felt that he should leave, ambergris is hard to find in the world, and time is urgent and needs to leave immediately.
In Yu Yu's mind, since it is a promise to others, he should keep his promise, do what he says, and believe it.
There is no definite number of things in the world, and there may not be results if you do it, but if you don't do it, it will definitely be fruitless, so even if you sometimes know that you can't do it, Yu Yu must do it.
After packing his luggage, Yu Yu saw that everything was ready, and after thinking about it, he felt that he should say goodbye to his husband.
After breakfast, Yu Yu hurried to the school, and I don't know if Mr. hasn't gotten up yet, and the door of the school is closed.
Yu Yu didn't knock on the door and had to wait outside the door, until the sun was three poles, the door of the school was opened, Yu Yu quickly stood up and stood aside.
Surprisingly, it was not a gentleman who came out of the door, but a graceful and luxurious woman.
Yu Yu was stunned and froze in place.
The woman looked at Yu Yu and said with a smile, "You are Yu Yu?"
Yu Yu nodded.
"Sir is waiting for you in the study. After saying that, the woman left without looking back.
Yu Yu came back to his senses and hurriedly walked into the school.
When he came to the study, Yu Yu knocked on the door, and the voice of Mr. came from inside the door.
"Enter"
Yu Yu then stepped into the room.
The gentleman was holding an ancient scroll in his hand, and when he saw Yu Yu coming in, he smiled and said, "It's here." ”
Yu Yu didn't know how to speak, and after a while, he said cautiously: "Sir." ”
The gentleman smiled slightly, understood Yu Yu's thoughts, put down the ancient scroll in his hand, and explained: "A foreigner, passing by this place and having nowhere to stay, stayed here for one night. ”
Yu Yu snorted.
The gentleman stood up and said, "If the time is not urgent, come with me first." ”
Yu Yu nodded.
The two of them left the school and walked towards the outside of the town, and the gentleman walked unfast, and walked leisurely.
Yu Yu was puzzled, but he didn't want to ask too much, so he could only follow closely.
Along the way, the gentleman would occasionally ask a few questions, and Yu Yu answered them one by one.
After a short time, the two entered Wuzhi Mountain, and came to the stream where Yu Yu often passed, and it was not until they came to the dead begonia tree that the gentleman stopped.
In the early spring of February, the weather is still relatively cold, but the mountain streams have gradually thawed, and the sound of rushing water can be heard.
The gentleman took a closer look at the begonia tree, and then said, "This tree has been dead for three thousand years. ”
Yu Yu didn't understand what he meant, and didn't dare to speak.
Mr. said to himself: "Yu Yu, the outside world is not as quiet as Wuzhi Mountain, sometimes, many people, many things, most of them are unsatisfactory, you have to keep your own heart." ”
Yu Yu thought for a while and said, "The student should remember the teachings of Mr. ”
Mr. nodded with satisfaction and said: "When I was young, I was determined to go all over the world, but then the sky did not go as I wanted, and it backfired, so I hope you go out this time, and by the way, help me see what has become of the world." ”
Yu Yu was puzzled and asked, "Is there anything in this world that Mr. doesn't know?"
The gentleman shook his head and said, "This world is complicated, how can I know everything. ”
Yu Yu thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll definitely help you take a look, it's just ......"
The gentleman turned to look at Yu Yu and asked, "What's the matter?"
Yu Yu then spoke: "Before my mother died, I was not allowed to leave Wuzhi Mountain for the rest of my life, but my life was at stake that day, and I had to save it, so it would be against my mother's order, sir, what should I do." ”
The gentleman smiled slightly and pointed to the stream, and Yu Yu followed the direction that the gentleman pointed to see a small gray fish in the stream jump out of the water, and then fall back into the water.
The gentleman smiled and asked, "Did you say that little fish had ever left the stream?" ”
Yu Yu suddenly saluted......
Around noon
Yu Yu appeared at the entrance of the town, carrying a newly woven bamboo basket on his back, but it was much smaller, with an ugly wood knife pinned to one side of his waist, a wine bag hanging on one side, a purple gold embroidered bag and a piece of jade jue on the inside of his chest, and the doll sat on Yu Yu's shoulder.
There is another person at the entrance of the town, it is Ma Xiaoer.
At this time, Ma Xiaoer did not pay off his previous looks, he was pitiful, standing at the entrance of the town and waiting for Yu Yu.
Yu Yu stepped forward and asked, "Brother Ma, are you waiting for me?"
Ma Xiaoer cried with a sad face, and wailed weakly: "Alas, pitiful!"
