Chapter 11: Lotsevia
At the beginning of the lanterns of the Lingguan Mansion, the banquet was crowded with people, bustling, the maids carried the wine jug to look around at the glasses, the delicacies were served on the table like flowing water, and the laughter and noise between the cups were staggered, and it spread far to the side room.
Lin Yi sat alone in the wing, and the Lingguan Mansion dinner was definitely not his share. After more than a month of running and wandering, I suddenly calmed down, and I couldn't help feeling homesick, thinking of the bits and pieces on the Huai River, and the faces of Nian You and Xu Gong slowly floated in front of me.
Because of a painting boat drinking party, his own family was ruined, wandering in other places, and even the jade plate and the bag were taken away by the white-eyed wolf, and after several turns, he finally escaped death.
Lin Yi touched his throat, burning and stinging, and he didn't know if he could speak again in this life. He looked out the window at the night sky, remembered the past, and couldn't help but feel sad and speechless, "Knock!"
Lin Yi was startled, jumped up from the chair, hurriedly collected his emotions, ran over and opened the door, there was a fat lady in her forties standing outside, carrying a food box, and said, "Son, excuse me, the master asked me to bring you something to eat, and there are some decoctions that can cure a sore throat." β
"Uh-huh......" As soon as Lin Yi opened his mouth, he thought that he couldn't speak, a trace of sadness flashed on his face, and he quickly hid it again, pointed to his throat, and apologized again and again before reaching out to take it.
The fat lady looked at his slightly red throat, handed over the food box, was shocked, and said slowly: "Childe, you eat it while it's hot, the food box is here, and someone will come to pick it up tomorrow morning." β
After saying that, he retired and left.
Lin Yi put it on the table and opened it, and there was a smell of medicine on his face, there were three dishes and one soup in it, and there was a pot of medicinal soup that could not be named. After dinner, I drank the medicinal soup, and the burning pain in my throat subsided, and I was very grateful.
After these days, he has seen that Luoshan is a soft-hearted person, since he has lost the jade plate and has no tips, it is better to grind hard and bubble hard, worship him as a teacher, only by learning martial arts, can he avenge his mother.
With calculations and a lot of thoughts, I tossed and fell asleep.
In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Lin Yi was woken up by a burst of shouting in a daze. When I opened my eyes and saw the strange environment, I was stunned for a long time before I remembered where I was, but I couldn't sleep anymore, so I got up with my eyelids drooping, washed up a little, and went out.
Xunsheng bypassed the eaves and came to a school yard along the bluestone road, and the sound of shouting poured into his ears, and his eyes suddenly lit up: on the square paved with whole bricks, dozens of men and women were standing, fighting each other, with yellow and white flags planted on both sides, hunting and fighting in the wind. Luo Shan clasped his hands behind his back and stood at the front, looking at everyone with a solemn expression, while the little girl stood beside her, changing into a short and energetic suit today, with bright eyes and bright teeth, a pink face, and her eyes were still dripping and rolling.
"I said you can't stop fighting, but what are you all doing!" roared Luoshan. "Tell me, what did I say?!"
A voice rang out from the crowd: "The first point, the eyes can't ......"
"Louder!!" Luo Shan suddenly shouted, and the roar rolled like thunder.
The disciples were so frightened that their bodies tensed, their hearts were frightened, and they looked at Luoshan from afar, and they didn't dare to breathe.
"One?" asked Luoshan. "You can't close your eyes!" the disciples shouted in unison. "Two?" "Feet can't stop!" "Three?" "Grab the middle line!" "Four?" "Attack and defend at the same time, avoid the real and attack the false!"
"Okay, you guys have a long memory. Luo Shan applauded happily, and then changed his face and shouted angrily: "But my body can't remember! If I see anyone moving their hands and stopping at their feet, they will all go out for me to run fifty laps!"
"Yes!" the disciples replied loudly, and some of them were already crying.
Lin Yi couldn't come back to his senses for a long time in shock, and his sorrow for many days came to naught at this time, and excitement and longing rose in his heart, and he couldn't wait to rush into the school field and practice with them.
Imitating their movements with great interest, Lin Yi felt countless eyes looking at him, curious and hostile. But he didn't care about the embarrassment at all, and he did the same.
After practicing for half an hour, the disciples rested under Luo Shan's order, except for the leading few people, who were relatively old, the rest of them were similar in age to Lin Yi.
The little girl jumped up and ran over, grabbed Lin Yi's sleeve and whispered, "Little brother, my father told you not to hurry to leave after breakfast, go to the side hall to find him." β
Lin Yi hurriedly nodded in agreement, shook his head again, and stretched out his hand to write on the ground. The little girl lowered her head curiously, but saw him write: Where is the side hall?
The little girl bent her eyebrows and smiled, showing her tiger teeth, pretty and cute, and instructed: "Don't run around now, I'll take you there." β
In the crowd, a tall and thin young disciple with a handsome face looked at him coldly, his eyes aside, fell on a fellow friend of the same age beside him, and beckoned and asked, "Wen Bin, do you know the new kid?"
"Brother Wuxin. The disciple who called Wen Bin rushed up and said in a low voice: "I don't know, I heard that the kid came back with the master yesterday, and he seems to be a dumb person......?"
Wei Wenbin raised his head and noticed that Shen Wuxin's face was gradually darkening, and hurriedly changed his words: "Miss, this person is too kind, why are you talking to a newcomer?"
Shen Wuxin looked Lin Yi up and down, and when he saw that he was wearing shabby, he snorted, and said disdainfully: A poor and dumb person also wants to come to the Lingguan Mansion to learn martial arts, what a joke!
After the morning exercise, Lin Yi was led by the little girl to eat in the cafeteria, and along the way, the disciples' eyes were not very friendly. He knew in his heart that when he first arrived, he was unfamiliar with the land and was inevitably hostile. After finishing the meal, Lin Yi took the food box and walked to the corner alone. On the road, a young disciple walked by, with a sturdy figure and bulging muscles under the sleeves of his short shirt. Lin Yi lowered his head and got out of the way, but he never thought that the other party would swagger and collide directly.
"Bang. Lin Yi's shoulder was slammed, the food box came out of his hand, and the food was scattered on the ground.
He rubbed his shoulders in pain, and the disciple hurriedly said, "Ouch, I didn't see it, I'm sorry~" There was still a playful smile on his face. Lin Yi was slightly angry, but instantly restrained himself, put on a smiling face, and shook his head to indicate that it was okay. The disciple wanted to wait for him to get angry and attack on the spot, so as to give him a dismount, but it turned out to be like a fist hitting the cotton, so that he lost his strength.
Lin Yi swallowed his anger and bent down to clean up, but the disciple stood next to him and looked down, and said pretendly: "Yo, did you hurt you?" Lin Yi couldn't speak, so he had to shake his head again, bow his head and walk away, but a voice sounded behind him: "Hey~ I'm really dumb!"
"Hahaha!" there was a burst of laughter all around.
The other party deliberately did it, and also made provocative remarks, even though Lin Yi had a good temper, he was so angry that he blushed. Sweeping over, the laughing disciples stopped their dishes and chopsticks one after another, glared at them one by one, and wanted to stand up. The disciple crossed his arms and looked him up and down, seeing that the young man was skinny, his eyes were even more contemptuous, he clenched his fist with his hand, and said, "What, I'm not convinced, do you want to fight?"
The two confronted each other, seeing that Lin Yi was about to suffer, the little girl hurriedly stepped forward and said angrily to the disciple: "Wei Wenbin, what do you want to do!" Seeing that the young lady stood up for him, Wei Wenbin couldn't help but feel cowardly, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get off the stage, so he had to mess around and deliberately distorted: "It was he who hit me, and he still refuses to apologize." β
The little girl stood in front of Wei Wenbin with her hands on her hips, obviously a lot shorter than the other party, but her aura was not inferior at all, and she looked up and glared at him: "You didn't see me?"
"Miss Luo, Wen Bin didn't mean it, forget it. Shen Wuxin stood up from the crowd and helped him defend himself.
"Hmph!" the little girl's cheeks bulged out and she didn't give up.
Shen Wuxin smiled implicitly, looking gentle and elegant, "Miss Luo, Master said that as long as we enter this Lingguan Mansion, we are all a family, why bother about this little thing and hurt the peace-Wei Wenbin, give the newcomer a gift!" But the tone was firm and irrefutable.
Being looked at by everyone, Wei Wenbin was a little embarrassed and silent. Shen Wuxin persuaded him with kind words: "Wen Bin, no matter who hits whom, how can you say that you entered the mansion before him, even if you are half a senior brother, is there no such a measure?"
Being glared at by Miss Luo, Wei Wenbin gritted his teeth, but he had nothing to do, so he had to bow his head and apologize.
The disciples practiced martial arts, and they were proud of their talents, so it was inevitable that they would be young and vigorous, and some conflicts would break out. And Shen Wuxin usually treats people kindly, always helps mediate disputes, and when he speaks, the little girl snorts.
Wei Wenbin glared at Lin Yi fiercely, turned around and went back, and secretly said in his heart: Phew, hiding behind a woman, what kind of thing?
Passing by Shen Wuxin's side, I heard him reproach in a low voice: "Idiot, why are you making such a big battle, and you still want me to save the scene." Wei Wenbin hurriedly bent over, smiled awkwardly and flattered: "Brother Wuxin, it's me who is wrong, too impulsive." Shen Wuxin looked at him sideways, with a smile on his face, and his tone changed: "No, I mean you did a good job, but next time you have to find a place where no one is aroundβdo you understand what I mean?"
Wei Wenbin was overjoyed when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Got it, leave it to me!" Shen Wuxin looked at him with satisfaction, and his eyes were full of appreciation.
After surviving a crisis, Lin Yi was unhappily, and it was really not a taste to let a little girl stand up for herself. Re-loaded the meal, was pulled to the side by the little girl to sit, and finally no one came to find fault again.
After the meal, the little girl led Lin Yi to the side hall, Luo Shan sat on a wooden chair, with freshly finished dishes and chopsticks on the table, and a pair of paper and pens in front of him. Lin Yi saluted and entered the house, Luo Shan nodded in response, and said, "Boy, I have arranged a job for you." β
Lin Yi knew in his heart, knowing that he couldn't eat other people's rice, so he walked to the table and understood that the pen and paper were prepared for himself, and wrote on it: Lord Xie Lingguan.
"It's just a small thing, you can earn some silver, and you can buy some food and clothing. Luo Shan waved his hand, signaling that it was okay, and then said, "You can write your name and take a look." β
Lin Yi wrote down her name according to her words, the little girl poked her head out to peek, and Luo Shan immediately glared: "Girl, you go out first." β
The little girl stuck out her tongue and had to go out of the house. Luo Shan said slowly: "It's called Lin Yi, since you are literate, I will arrange a study job for you, with a monthly salary of three hundred." It's not busy every day, it's cleaned once in the morning and evening, and if others come to borrow it, just register it. β
In Yunguo, 1,000 coins are consistent, copper coins are always exchanged for one or two silver, and 300 coins a month is not low, Lin Yi readily agreed, and wrote "good". Luo Shan hummed, hesitated for a few breaths, reached out and took the pen again, and wrote three words on the paper: Luo Caiwei.
Lin Yi frowned and was stunned, puzzled.
