(Section 173) Ling Mu
After finishing the book, Xiao Yu said: "Of course not, he is not the only one." Since the famine, the rich families have moved away, and later even the officials of the county government seem to have abandoned the town. Later, the poor who remained in the town had nothing to eat, so they ate everything they could eat in the town. There is really no way for everyone to be hungry, and some people can only take risks to go up the mountain and down the river to find food in the unpopulated place in the flat in order to survive. But there are still dangers among them, and there are those who have been bitten by poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, or bumped and bruised, and broken hands and feet. ”
Xiao Yu said and pointed in the direction of the east, and said: "Everything that can be eaten on the east side of the mountain has been dug up, and there are only some herbs left that cannot be filled, but although these cannot be eaten, they can cure diseases and save people, and there are still some medicines left in the pharmacy in the town, so I treated some people who were injured or poisoned, and the relative reward was to save them once, and they had to find a way to get me a meal every day, so it lasted for seven days." The tall and thin big brother just now, that's it, today is the last day. ”
"I mean, no wonder you're alive until now, smart. Xiao praised and lightly punched Xiao Yu to show his kindness.
"Why seven days? It stands to reason that you saved someone's life, so you could have made some higher demands. Songfeng asked, staring at the clarity in Xiao Yu's eyes.
Xiao Yu shook his head and said: "It's not easy for everyone, the point that I give me every day is also brought on the premise that I can't eat enough, seven days is already the limit, if one person really bears the food of the two, neither of them can survive, and they will starve to death." Then Xiao Yu sighed lightly and said: "Besides, in this situation, the four words of life-saving benefactor are not worth much, if you make some more excessive demands and make people anxious, maybe they will cook you directly and eat it." ”
Xiao Yu said this, he seemed to be a little sad and a little scared, and lowered his head and muttered in a low voice: "There were several families in the town before, and in order to survive, they also exchanged children with each other to eat. As he spoke, he raised his head, brushed the messy hair on his forehead, and said with a smile: "My own children can talk to me, not to mention that I'm not worth half a doctor on the road, hehe." ”
The praise in Song Feng's eyes at this time had turned into a thick exclamation, and he asked in a gentle tone: "Child, who taught you these?" Xiao Yu pouted at the bookcase, and Song Feng asked with a smile: "You can read so many books, it is not overnight, so are you the child of this family? But why didn't you leave with your family, but stayed."
What?"
"How can I have such a good life. Xiao Yu said: "I was an orphan since I was a child, I grew up in this town, and later I was adopted by the old housekeeper of this family, and I became the companion of this young master. Not long ago, the young master's family all moved away, leaving only the old housekeeper, and soon after, he also left, leaving me alone. Originally, I would have starved to death, but fortunately, I knew how to use medical skills, and I saved six people together, and it lasted for forty-two days. It's a pity," said Xiao Yu touched his mouth and said, "Today's big brother is the last person, and I don't know how many days I can support with this half of a steamed bun." As he spoke, his god was low, but there was not much sorrow between his eyebrows, just a little helplessness.
"Child," Song Feng said as if he had made a major decision at this time, "Would you like to worship me as a teacher and go with me, don't you know what the Wudang Sect is?" Although you can't live a life of fine clothes and food, but also worry-free, and I can also teach you martial arts, as long as you work hard, you may also become a famous number one person in the rivers and lakes in the future, so that people dare not underestimate you. ”
After Songfeng finished speaking, he thought that Xiao Yu would happily agree, but he didn't expect Xiao Yu to listen, so he knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Song Feng three times, and said: "Thank you Master for saving your life, and also give me the opportunity to settle down. ”
"Good polite boy. Songfeng helped Xiao Yu up with a smile and said, "Such a sensible child, how old are you this year." Xiao Yu listened, stretched out his finger, compared the eight characters, Song Feng saw it, pushed Xiao down in front of Xiao Yu, and said, "This is your senior brother, come and get to know you." Xiao Yu was a little scared at first, but after Xiao hugged him closely, he called out sweetly: "Senior brother is good!"
After the two got to know each other, Xiao Yu asked Songfeng a little embarrassed: "Master, master, are there so many books to read on Wudang Mountain?"
"Haha. Songfeng picked up Xiao Yu with a smile and said, "Don't worry, there are all kinds of books on the mountain, and there is even a single copy of the hand-copied ancient book "Tao Te Ching". And poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, medicine and astrology, your master also knows a few things, even if the master doesn't understand, you can find someone to learn by yourself. ”
Xiao Yu smiled and nodded, Song Feng hugged Xiao Yu but didn't let go, and said: "You kid, you are quite Daoist, only one of the next generation I have seen in my life may be a little more spiritual than you in this regard." As he spoke, he whispered something in Ling Muyu's ear, and then said, "Do you understand this poem? This was done when the man was ten years old. ”
Xiao Yu thought about it carefully, then frowned, and finally shook his head helplessly, and said, "I don't understand much, I can only understand some." Matsukaze replied, "That's pretty good. ”
Xiao Yu asked: "Who is that master?" Song Feng smiled and did not speak, but did not answer, and later the eight-year-old child followed Song Feng to Wudang Mountain, and often asked this question, but no matter how Xiao Yu asked and guessed, the master just said: "It doesn't matter, that person is not from the rivers and lakes, and he can't meet him." Later, people who knew about the Wudang faction in the rivers and lakes knew that the head of Wudang had an extra disciple, a disciple he liked very much and had high hopes for, named Ling Muyu.
On the outskirts of Fuzhou, in the dense forest on the mountain, in the cave by the stream, Ling Muyu looked at the rising sun slowly rising in the distance, glanced at Wang Bo'an beside him, thought about it, and couldn't help but say: "The mountain is close to the moon and the moon is far away, so I said that this mountain is larger than the moon." If someone's eyes are as big as the sky, he will see that the mountains and the moon are wider. ”
Wang Bo'an was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then wondered: "What do you mean by Brother Yu? Why did you suddenly read the poems that Brother Yu made up when he was ten years old?" ”
Ling Muyu had tears in the corners of his eyes after hearing this, but he didn't want Wang Bo'an to find out, so he turned around and quietly wiped his tears, feeling sad in his heart: "Master, whoever said that if you are not from the rivers and lakes, you won't be able to meet it." ”
