Dugu Yao was not angry, and asked, "Just you, don't lose your things and let Lao Tzu lose money." ”

"No, I practiced light skills, I ran fast, and I could practice on the road. Dad, didn't you start delivering letters at the age of eight?" Dugu Nirvana replied.

Dugu Yao nodded and said, "Then go to the letter shop under your tenth uncle, try to be a letter customer, and see how much you can send in a day." ”

After thinking about it, he said: "Don't look at the scenery of your ten uncles and ten aunts running a dart game, it is also because the relationship between the rivers and lakes and the officialdom is good. Even your tenth uncle's daughter has not worked in the dart game, she has been in better health in the past two years, and her business in the imperial city has been doing well, and in the future, you and Mu Yao will have to ask others to take care of you in the imperial city. ”

Dugu Nie quickly nodded and laughed.

Dugu Yao said again: "You still have to study with a snack, and first take the exam to enter the Xian Mansion, now in this peaceful and prosperous world, it is better to be an official." ”

Dugu Nie responded: "Dad, I will study hard." ”

Dugu Yao said angrily: "Get out, little rabbit!"

Dugu Ni stood up happily, bowed, picked up the empty wine bowl on the table, and ran out.

Fuying Town is also a large town, with a radius of twenty miles from the inner and outer cities. The inner city is also not small, and most of the people living in it are dignitaries, and there are special guards at the city gate. For example, the governor's office of the town envoy and the six governors is in the inner city, so the inner city is much more prosperous.

The houses and shops in the inner city are numerous and large, and the streets are relatively narrow, and horses are not allowed to gallop. The outer city is huge, the houses are far apart, and the streets are spacious, so as long as it does not hurt people, it is permissible to ride horses.

And Sanli Street, where Dugu Nie's house is located, belongs to the southern part of the outer city. From east to west and south to north of Fuying Town, it is about forty miles away.

Dugu Nie's tenth uncle Dugu Huo is in charge of the dart game is Fuying Dart Bureau, located in Changfu Street, although it is far less prestigious than the Baili Dart Bureau in the imperial city, but also in just ten years, it has a large scale, and has an excellent reputation in Fuying Town. The dart bureau undertakes most of the cross-town darts, which are very profitable.

Under the Fuying Dart Bureau, there are five Fuying letter squares, which are located in the southeast, northwest, and middle of Fuying Town. Although the name is Xinfang, it is actually a small dart game. As long as it is within the scope of Fuying Town, including some villages outside the town, basically everything is sent, according to the distance and weight, the cost generally ranges from tens of dollars to hundreds of dollars, and valuables are said to be otherwise. At Dugu Nie's age, no one guarantees that he can't be a believer, after all, if he loses something or misses the time, he will make Xinfang lose money.

People usually want to send things themselves, just find a nearby letter shop, write down the place and the recipient. Of course, there are also believers who go to the streets to collect work, and when they meet, the people save more trouble. For example, in some places where there are things to be delivered all year round, believers have to take the initiative to ask from time to time.

The next day home, Bai An'an led Dugu Ni to the south store of Fuying Xinfang, after some greetings, the head of the letter shop also knew, this is the relative of the head of the dart bureau, although he felt that Dugu Ni was too young, but he still went through a formalities and gave Dugu Nirvana a representative letter fang identity plate, a letter book. I gave another letter box and asked Dugu Ni to send it once to try, which can be regarded as a short-term job in the letter workshop.

A letter box is not a box, but a general term for what you want to send. Generally, letters are packed in sealed long bamboo tubes, and the objects are packed according to the size of the objects to find suitable things. Some secret objects are also sealed with a piece of paper, and can only be opened by the recipient.

Dugu Nirvana can also be regarded as a struggle, more than ten miles away, a cup of tea less than the effort, to find the recipient. It's still a lot of time to ask for directions everywhere.

When he came to the Zhongmen store, Dugu Ni looked at the inside and outside and was also busy, timidly walked to the counter, took out his letter plate and letter book, and asked the middle-aged man standing behind the counter: "Uncle, hello, I am a letter from Fuying Letters and Visits to Nanmen Store, I sent a letter, come to you to register." ”

The middle-aged man raised his eyes, a little surprised, and said, "It's so small, have you become a letter guest?" opened the letter book and saw that it had indeed been delivered, so he nodded and said, "Well, next time I go to Nanmen Store, I will be able to receive the money." ”

Dugu Nie's heart was very excited, and this was the first time he had earned money. The person in charge of the letter shop in Nanmen said that if you send an object once, the customer's credit bank will be divided into two percent.

Dugu Ni said: "Thank you!"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You're welcome, the little guy is capable, it's just an hour, I've finished sending it all over, do you want to take a few more jobs?"

Dugu Nie nodded hurriedly.

The middle-aged man shouted: "Third brother, arrange a few jobs for this little guy." A young man in a gray cloth shirt answered, looked at Dugu Nirvana, and said, "Follow me." ”

When Dugu Ni went out, he carried a burden on his back, which contained five sealed long bamboo tubes, a letter book in the clothes on his chest, and a heavy box in his hand, full of joy.

This time, although the letter boxes were all sent to the south, it still took half an hour to deliver only five pieces, mainly to ask for directions and find people, which took a lot of time. After all, there may not always be people at the recipient's home or shop. But this last one made Dugu Nie a little worried.

It will be sent to Wu Quean, Kule Gate, Fuxin Street.

Dugu Nie remembered Fang Wutong's aggrieved appearance yesterday, and felt a little guilty in her heart, and made up her mind that she still had to apologize to Fang Wutong.

After a while, Dugu Ni came to a plaque with the words "Kule Gate" written on it, and exclaimed: "This place is so big!" Dugu Ni walked in from the side door, and as soon as he entered, he saw a huge square, in which there were probably hundreds of people, both men and women were dressed in yellow cloth, men and women had short hair with inch length, and women had short hair with ears. These people are in groups of three or five, sitting or standing, some are talking, some seem to be playing chess, and some seem to be writing and painting in the pavilion, and no one is practicing martial arts.

Dugu Nie was curious, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he ran to a young man who was sweeping the floor, bowed, and said, "Master, hello, I am a letter visitor to Fuying, and I have an object to give to Master Wu Qi'an, where do you see me looking for it?"

The young man in yellow smiled faintly and said, "I'm not a master, have you seen that inner door?" Go and talk to the little master at the door, he will take you there." ”

Dugu Ni said thank you, and walked to the door, when he walked past these people of the Bitter Happiness Gate, no one came to interrogate Dugu Nirvana what he was doing here, they were all concentrating on the Tao, the voice was quite noisy, Dugu Nirvana also condensed his mind, listening while walking.

"Even when we are about to starve to death, if our hearts don't die, can we starve to death?"

"If your heart is dead, then you will naturally do things that starve to death. If your heart doesn't die, then how can you starve to death?"

"Then if my heart doesn't die, but a knife pierces my heart, I won't die?"

"If a knife pierced your heart, what would your heart say?"

"I'm going to die!"

"So, your heart is still dead, and you will naturally die. ”

"Is it possible that a knife pierced the heart and not die?"

"It may be possible, it is impossible and it is possible. ”

"So we cultivate our minds just to see more possibilities, and if we see our hearts more clearly, can we be more comfortable?"

"Only your heart knows the answer. ”

In this paragraph, Dugu Ni only felt that his scalp was numb when he heard it, and he couldn't help but be curious, and listened carefully to the talk of another group of people.

"Senior brother, am I right about this?"

"The right and wrong of everything is only in your own heart. ”

"Is there any right thing to do with murder and arson?"

"If you don't know the antecedents, it's hard to tell right from wrong, but what you do, you have to face the corresponding consequences. ”

Dugu Nirvana savored it and felt that it seemed to make sense.

"Senior brother, why are so many people hostile to us?"

"What you see is only the part of your heart that accepts it. Have you ever seen the kindness of the world towards us?"

"If you see it, how can we get more people to be kind to us?"

"When you are kind to the world, you will know. ”

Hearing these remarks, Dugu Ni felt quite good again, thought about it, and unconsciously came to the inner door of the Kule Gate. Dugu Ni understood the intention of the doorman who guarded the door, but the gatekeeper was enthusiastic, so he took Dugu Nirvana into the door.

The inner door is still very large, flowers and plants can be seen everywhere, and many houses have been built. In a simple small house, Dugu Ni found Wu Qi'an and handed him the letter box, Wu Qi'an opened the note on the long bamboo tube, took out the letter inside, and signed Dugu Ni's letter book, and praised it with a smile: "Xiaoyou is really sensible, and he knows how to make money at a young age." ”

Dugu Nirvana smiled shyly and said, "Thank you, master, uh, I'm Fang Wutong's classmate, I want to find her a few words, master, do you know her?"

Wu Qi'an smiled and said, "Acquaintance, I'll take you there." ”

When she saw Fang Wutong, Fang Wutong and a few children younger than her were having fun in a small courtyard, and when they saw Dugu Nirvana, Fang Wutong frowned, said something to the other children, and walked towards Wu Qi'an and Dugu Nirvana.

Wu Qi'an smiled and said, "You talk, I'm leaving." Then he turned and left.

Dugu Ni thanked him, looked at Fang Wutong, nervously tugged at his burden, and greeted, "Wutong." ”

Fang Wutong's habitual smile was gone, his face was expressionless, and he said, "What are you looking for me to do?"

Dugu Ni followed and said, "I'm here to apologize to you." ”

Fang Wutong walked to a pavilion, sat down, and asked, "What do you apologize to me?"

Dugu Nie was full of shame and said, "Yesterday, my mother ignored you, and then, she was cold to you and your uncle. ”

Fang Wutong snorted and said, "Your mother looks down on our people from the Kule Gate, what's so strange about this." ”

Dugu Ni explained: "My mother just has a bad temper, but she is very good. ”

Fang Wutong sneered: "Yes, of course your mother is good, but I am not good." Your mother is a good person, we are a bad person, what else are you looking for me?"

In Dugu Nie's impression, Fang Wutong had two fires, once last time she said that she was good-looking, and this time. panicked for a moment, and said hurriedly: "You are a good person, not a bad person." ”

Fang Wutong turned his head and said angrily, "I don't need you to pity me!"

Dugu Ni said: "I don't pity you. ”

Fang Wutong turned his head again and asked, "Didn't you say that our cultivation exercises are pitiful?"

Dugu Nirvana was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

Fang Wutong's eyes were full of tears, and he said faintly: "I still treat you as a friend!"

Dugu Nirvana was frightened now, I was afraid that I didn't expect Fang Wutong to be so sad one day later, and she had always been the most unbearable to other people's tears. Hurriedly said: "I also regard you as a friend!"

Fang Wutong's two big tears fell, and he said, "You won't be friends with a person who may become a little madman at any time!"

Dugu Nie said stupidly: "You haven't become crazy yet, haven't you heard my classmates say that I am a 'Nirvana madman'?"

Fang Wutong raised his head, his teary eyes blurred, and asked, "Do you also think that I will become a madman in the future?"

Dugu Nie knew that he had said the wrong thing, and said busily: "Definitely not!"

Fang Wutong pursed his lips and asked, "How do you know that it won't?"

Dugu Ni was so anxious that his sweat fell, and said: "I just heard the masters outside talking, although I don't know much about the things they said, but I know that they are all words that guide people to goodness, how can such things make people crazy?"

Fang Wutong said: "You don't know, we do all these homework on weekdays for the sake of cultivating the mind, but cultivating the mind all the way is really hard. If you want to make people crazy, one is that the mind cultivator himself goes mad, and the other is that the mind cultivator is too badly hurt by the mind cultivator. ”

Only then did Dugu Nie suddenly remember that time King Shenhai Fan's group of people were scared crazy. Although there was nothing to do later, I think it was Fang Wutong's uncle's mercy.
