Volume 1: The Fisherman's Husband Chapter 14: Advancing and Retreating Together, Living and Dying Together

Unexpectedly smooth, when Xiao Yu'er and Lu Yu proposed to lead one or three people to Fubo Town, Lu Yu did not object, but troubled Xiao Yu'er to take care of them on the road, which made Xiao Yu'er, who had prepared a lot of rhetoric, a little surprised.

"Aunt Yu, is there anything else you need to explain?"

"The children are all grown up, and they have to face it on their own, and no matter how much they say, it is not as real as their own personal experience. ”

Xiao Yu'er smiled:

"Isn't this what Aunt Yu taught us before, it's better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles?"

"Yes, the most rare thing in this world is the unity of knowledge and action, many things that can't be learned from books, only the rivers and lakes can bring you, you have all grown up, so I don't object to you going out and seeing. ”

Xiao Yu'er saw the white hair on Lu Yu's sideburns, and instantly became a little in a trance, and asked boldly:

"Aunt Yu, do you really plan to go out to see again? You know, the village has long regarded you as their own relative, but it doesn't matter. ”

Lu Yu looked calm, refilled Xiao Yu'er's teacup with some water, and said gently:

"I am very grateful for the kindness of the people in the village, but I really don't want to go out anymore, and there are things that will be forgotten with me, which is the best outcome for all of us. ”

Xiao Yu'er felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and blurted out:

"Aunt Yu, but this is not fair to yourself!"

"There's not so much fairness in the world, and when you go out and go further, you know how lucky you are. ”

Xiao Yu'er was silent for a while, and glanced at the calm Aunt Yu, with a somewhat hesitant look.

"Xiao Yu'er, don't ask your questions, and if you ask, Aunt Yu won't tell you. ”

As if seeing through his thoughts, Lu Yu stopped the question that Xiao Yu'er wanted to ask.

"I know, Aunt Yu doesn't want to say it, so I won't ask again. ”

"Thank you. ”

Xiao Yu'er stood up and saluted and said goodbye.

When it was about to get dark, Lu Yi came back with a load of fish, and today the harvest of the three of them was very good, and there were really a lot of fish in that area.

Kitchen.

Lu Yu is making dinner, the steamed white flour steamed buns tonight, there are still cut vegetables on the board, a big bowl of tofu cut into small cubes, and a pickled large grouper is stewed in the pot, which is four or five catties, and the pot is gurgling with fine bubbles.

Lu Yi put down the fish burden and ran to the kitchen to get scissors and prepare to clean up the fish he brought back.

The fish in the sea have to be cleaned up while they are fresh, salted, and taken out to dry tomorrow morning when the sun comes out.

Lu Yu called him and asked him to call a penny to come over with Lu Xiaobo for dinner.

Lu Yi answered, and he didn't think much about the girl and ran to call people, these few friends of his, the number of meals at his house is not necessarily less than in his own home, and he grew up eating hundreds of meals in the village since he was a child.

After a while, his two friends came over, and there was also Lu Xiaojia who came over to eat, Lu Xiaojia also held a big basin in her hand, saying that it was the sauce ribbon fish made by her mother, and brought it to Aunt Yu to taste.

Lu Yu greeted them one by one, and the three teenagers naturally started to clean up the sea fish together, everyone in this fishing village is no stranger, Lu Xiaojia helped Aunt Yu make a fire in the kitchen.

For a while, the small courtyard suddenly became lively, laughing and laughing.

Candlelight, firelight, every face reflected red, that is the warm color, the color of home.

After a while, the two boxes of sea fish were cleaned up and salted, and the pickled grouper stewed tofu in the kitchen was also out of the pot, and with the tender green vegetables, it looked particularly appetizing.

Lu Xiaojia helped set up the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks, and a group of teenagers waited for Lu Yu to sit down, and then sat down in turn.

"I've been hungry all afternoon, so let's eat them all. ”

Lu Yu symbolically sandwiched a piece of fish and put it in a bowl, and then beckoned everyone to eat.

A good meal.

More often than not, Lu Yu looked at the children on the table with a smile on his lips, gobbling up like a whirlwind, and his eyes were full of pampering.

After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Lu Xiaojia brought over the boiling water and poured a glass for everyone.

"I heard that you are pestering Brother Yu'er, and you want to go to Fubo Town with you in a few days?"

Hearing the question, everyone sat up straight.

Lu Yi looked at his mother and felt that she was not angry, so he nodded and said:

"Yes, Mother, we also want to help the fifth grandfather and them, but we haven't had time to tell you yet. ”

"Is it too late or don't dare?"

Lu Yi didn't dare to speak, and after a while he whispered:

"I'm afraid you won't agree. ”

"You're all grown up, where can I still manage it?"

Lu Yi hurriedly took a step back and knelt down.

"The boy knew that he was wrong, and I didn't go. ”

Seeing Lu Yi kneeling, Yiwen, Xiaobo, and Xiaojia also knelt down.

"Get up, am I so unreasonable in the eyes of you troublemakers?"

As soon as the four teenagers heard this, there was a play? Several people instantly became excited, and Lu Yi even grabbed his mother's hand and said:

"Mother, don't you object?"

"I called a few of you here today because I had promised your brother Yu'er that afternoon. ”

"Ha! Brother Yu'er is amazing!"

The complacent Lu Xiaobo shouted, thought about it, and quickly changed his words:

"It's still Aunt Yu, Aunt Yu is the best!"

"Sycophants!"

Seeing a few excited faces, Lu Yu sighed and said:

"When you grow up, you should go out to see, but I still don't feel at ease, because you are all good children, all good children, you have never been out of the village, and naturally you don't know what the rivers and lakes are sinister, and people's hearts are unpredictable. ”

"I'm going to tell you something not rosy tonight, and there is a saying in the book that you can't do harm without a defensive heart, but before I talk about those things, I want to ask you a few questions. ”

Lu Yi and four people sat in a precarious position, listening carefully.

"What are you going to do if one of you is in danger?"

Without any hesitation, the four replied in unison:

"Stay and help him, of course!"

Lu Yu smiled and continued to ask:

"If it's a person who is much more powerful than you, and catches one of you, you obviously can't beat it and stay, and you will even die!

When the four little guys heard this question, they were obviously stunned for a moment, in their carefree memories of more than ten years, they had not encountered this situation, so when this situation appeared in their minds, they were a little caught off guard.

Lu Yi was the first to raise his head, and replied firmly with red eyes:

"Mother, if this is the case, I am willing to be the one who is caught, let them all go, and leave me alone!"

Yiqian and Xiaobo shook their heads at the same time!

"We won't leave, it's a big deal, we can't leave you alone. ”

Lu Yi waved his hand and said softly:

"In that case, we're really going to die! Besides, the person who was arrested died without any meaning, and if this really happened as my mother said, I think whoever was arrested would do so that the others could escape. ”

When Lu Xiaojia heard this, she cried out with a wow, and she sobbed and shouted:

"Wouldn't it be better for all of us to stay in the fishing village, there are no bad people in the fishing village!"

Lu Yu hugged Lu Xiaojia in his arms, comforted him softly, and said to the other three:

"Let me ask one last question, what does the word brother mean in your eyes?"

The three teenagers looked at each other, and then couldn't help but clasp their hands together, and replied earnestly to Lu Yu:

"Advance and retreat together, live and die together. ”

Lu Yu was silent for a while, with a hint of relief in his eyes, and nodded:

"It is not easy for you to be able to say these six words, I hope that the three of you will remember today's oath, and you may face many, many temptations in the future, don't be disappointed in your brother!"

The three of them knelt down at the same time and kowtowed to Lu Yu seriously.

"The Water Breaking Knife Method and the Great Sumeru Decisive You have been practicing repeatedly for many years, in fact, there are not too many people in the rivers and lakes who can defeat you alone, and among the few of you, Lu Yi's knife technique and internal cultivation are the highest, this is not Aunt Yu hiding her secrets, but the strictest requirements for him since childhood, so when you go out, what you need to learn is experience, learn to see more and talk less, sometimes what you see and hear is not necessarily the real side. ”

Including Lu Yi, everyone knew for the first time that the art of tuning, which they had been required to practice strictly since childhood, had such a name.

The Great Sumeru Decision.

"Also, you have to remember not to show your martial arts easily, the real masters can see your heels from your moves and luck, so that it may bring danger to the whole village. ”

"Okay, there's nothing to explain for the time being, and then there's still a period of time before you set off to Fubo Town, you don't want to go to sea, I'll accompany you to practice swordsmanship every day, you haven't fought with anyone, I'm worried that you will suffer when you meet your opponent." ”

Lu Yi sent the other three people home separately, returned home and went straight to his mother's room, knelt down respectfully at the door and said:

"Mother, the child has something to ask you. ”

"Come in. ”

With his mother's permission, Lu Yi pushed the door in.

Lu Yu put down the needlework basket in his hand, motioned for Lu Yi to sit down, and was silent for a while before saying:

"What do you want to ask, in fact, my mother has been hesitating before, and I don't know if it will be a blessing or a curse for you after telling you. ”

"When the child is older, I think I should learn to bear it, and I must learn to face it. ”

"It's very gratifying for your mother to think so, but I'll ask you a question first, and you can think about it carefully before answering me. ”

"Mother, excuse me. ”

Lu Yu looked out the window and fell into a long period of contemplation, as if he was reminiscing and escaping.

"Child, do you think about what kind of life you want to live?"

What kind of life do you want?

Young is hot-blooded, impulsive, and emotional! But when he really calmed down and thought about what kind of life he really wanted, he was confused.

When he really thought about it, he thought about when he would go back to the village.

It seems that there is some unwillingness, just like they are looking forward to going out to see this time.

Sometimes he also wants to be chivalrous, but the thought of leaving so many familiar relatives makes him feel very uncomfortable.

"I don't know yet, but I always feel that every path is not what I absolutely want. ”

Lu Yi answered truthfully according to his heart.

Lu Yu smiled with satisfaction.

"Silly boy, in fact, you have already given the answer to your mother, I am very happy!"

Lu Yi didn't know why his mother was happy, but he felt that he didn't answer his mother's question, and his heart was much more relaxed.

The heart is persistent, reluctant to give up, and is chivalrous.

"Your father's surname is Meng, and his name is Mengyifei. ”

Father?!

Two unfamiliar and distant words made Lu stand on the spot, at a loss.
