Chapter 60: Life in the Stables
Following the direction of the old horse, Yun Wuxian saw a simple horse shed, there were dozens of horses in the horse shed, one next to the other, some horses were grazing, and some horses were lying on the ground sleeping.
Yun Wuxian would never have imagined that the old horse would let him sleep with the horses. Although Yun Wuxian didn't speak, the old horse saw displeasure in Yun Wuji's eyes.
"Why, aren't you happy?" said the old horse coldly, "if you are not happy, I will tell the man who sent you now, and drive you away." ”
"It's a nice setting, I love it. Yun Wuxian turned his head and made a smile at the old horse. Fang Cai's sad face was swept away.
The old horse was a little stunned.
In his vision, he treated Yun Wuxian like this, and Yun Wuxian was either furious or complaining. Being so willing to accept it like now, Lao Ma felt a little incredible.
"Do I call you old man, or do I call you old horse?" Yun Wuxian asked with a smile.
The reason why Lao Ma was at a loss was because he saw sincerity and kindness in Yun Wuji's smile. Although he didn't know much about Yun Wuji, from the time Yun Wuxian met, Lao Ma could see that Yun Wuxian was not a fool. However, how can a person who is not a fool accept the torture of others calmly?
If you want to blame Chen Feng, before leaving, he didn't tell Lao Ma that Yun Wuxian had endured even more cruel torture than now. Compared with that experience of human snakes, Yun Wuxian felt that sleeping in the stable was a very enjoyable thing.
"Since you don't speak, I'll take you by default. In the future, I will follow Senior Brother Chen to call you old horse. Yun Wuxian said, "Old horse, I've been walking for a day, and I'm a little tired. If you don't have anything else to do, go out. I'm going to sleep. ”
Yun Wuxian turned against the guest and issued an eviction order to the old horse.
The old horse was stunned for a moment, then pondered for a moment and said, "Want to sleep? There are also some horses that don't have forage. You have to come with me to feed the horses, and after feeding the horses, you can sleep. ”
"Alright, let's go. Yun Wuxian knew that even if he objected, the old horse would let him go with him to feed the horse. Instead of letting the old horse see his jokes, it is better to take the initiative and leave a good impression on the old horse.
Yun Wuxian made the right move. When he followed the old horse to feed the horses, the old horse said intentionally or unintentionally: "You kid, you are really different from others." I was impressed. ”
"Others?" Yun Wuxian looked at the old horse and asked, "Is there anyone else here besides you?"
"Now, of course, no. The old horse said, "Before you came, there was a man named Yun Yin, who followed me to feed the horses here for half a year. That kid ......"
The old horse shook his head, a smile on his face. Like, the old horse remembered something funny. Or, the person named Yun Yin is very funny in itself.
"However, I don't think your kid is worse than Yun Yin. With your indifferent energy, I think you will be very productive in time. Lao Ma said seriously.
"I didn't see it, but you still look at your face. Yun Wuxian said.
The old horse smiled and said, "Okay, you go back to sleep." I'll feed the rest of the horses myself. ”
When Yun Wuxian turned around to leave, the old horse shouted to Yun Wuji. He put down the feed in his hand and went to the room where he lived with Yun Wuxian with him. His room, although not a stable, was not much different from a stable.
Lao Ma took down a quilt from the bed, threw it to Yun Wuji, and said, "I originally wanted to keep you here." But in case the person who sent you here knows. I'm afraid it will upset him. Anyway, my room is not much different from the stable. You'll be in the stable for a few days. ”
Lao Ma's words warmed Yun Wuxi's heart. His nose counted, and he almost burst into tears.
After taking the quilt from the old horse, Yun Wuxian went to sleep in the stable. As the old saying goes, even if there are thousands of houses, sleeping is only three feet wide. The stables were crowded, but they were three feet wide. Yun Wuxian found a vacant place and spread the quilt, he was so tired that he just lay down and fell asleep.
In a dream, he met Mu Rong. Mu Rong took his hand and said, "Brother Dog, why don't you give up." Seeing you work so hard for me, I feel very uncomfortable. ”
Yun Wuxian knew the meaning of Mu Rong's words. Without waiting for Mu Rong to finish speaking, Yun Wuxian covered Mu Rong's mouth with his hand. said, "Rong'er, I don't allow you to say such things again." As long as I can wake you up, no matter how much I am wronged, it is worth it. On the other hand, if I lose you, my life will lose its meaning. Rong'er, do you understand my thoughts?"
"Do you understand my mind?"
Another woman's voice came from behind Yun Wuji. Yun Wuxian looked back, and the person who came was Feng Aya'er. Feng Aya'er pointed at Yun Wuxian with her finger and said angrily: "You negative person, do you know how many things I have done for you?
"Senior sister, why are you here? Senior sister, listen to my explanation......
Mu Rong pushed Yun Wuxian away and said angrily: "Okay, your senior sister's shout is really beautiful." ”
Mu Rong is on the left of Yun Wuxi, and Feng Aya'er is on the right of Yun Wuji. Both of them were angry with straight faces, and Yun Wuxian was in a hurry. He didn't know whether to persuade Mu Rong or explain to Feng Aya'er.
While he hesitated, Yun Wuxian woke up. He rubbed his eyes, and it was already dawn.
Yun Wuxian hurriedly got up, and after walking out of the stable, Yun Wuxian found that the horse shed was built on a small hill, and there was only a sheep intestine path leading to the stable.
The old horse was walking down the hill along the sheep's intestine path.
"Old horse, old horse. Yun Wuxian shouted loudly on the mountain.
The old horse heard Yun Wuji's shout, he turned his head and saw Yun Wuxian waving at him. The old horse also waved at Yun Wuxi, and Yun Wuxian ran towards the old horse. After a while, Yun Wuxian ran to the old horse.
"Are you awake, don't you sleep a little longer?" asked the old horse.
Obviously, Lao Ma's attitude today is much more tactful.
Yun Wuxian didn't know that he had a natural simplicity in him, and it was easy to gain the trust of others and the closeness of others. Especially low-level characters like Lao Ma. He usually speaks a little yelling, but he is kind in his heart. It's just that because of his limited skills, he buries the kindness in his heart, and only when he meets someone he thinks is worthy of his kindness, he will show his kindness.
Yun Wuxian is the person that Lao Ma is looking forward to.
"Uncle Ma, what are you going to do? I'll go with you. Yun Wuxian said.
"I'm going to the hill ahead and collect medicine for the horses. The old horse said, "Don't go." ”
"Anyway, it's okay if I'm idle, so you can take me there. Yun Wuxian begged.
"What? Didn't Gongzi Chen tell you when he came?" After hearing Yun Wuxian's words, Lao Ma was a little surprised. The old horse's emotions infected Yun Wuxian, and Yun Wuxian was inexplicably a little panicked.
"No, I don't. Yun Wuxian opened his eyes wide, looked at Lao Ma and said, "Uncle Ma, is there something very important that Senior Brother Chen didn't tell me?"
"Yesterday, from Chen Gongzi's tone, I could see that you are a disciple of Moshan who came to Moshan to learn art. You won't stay here for long. Listening to Lao Ma's words, Yun Wuxian nodded. "Do you know how to get out of here?"
Yun Wuxian shook his head.
"Every month, a 'martial arts competition' will be held on the 'Jiugong Peak' in Moshan. Only disciples who have achieved good results in the 'Martial Arts Competition' will be able to ascend, and the only chance you have to leave here is to ascend. Old Ma paused, and then said, "Here, everyone has three chances. If you fail to make progress three times. When the time comes, I'm afraid you'll be driven out of Moshan. ”
The old horse's words really surprised Yun Wuxian a lot. Yun Wuxian pondered and said: "However, I just came to Moshan, and I don't know any martial arts, even if I have to work hard, I don't have a clue." ”
The old horse looked at Yun Wuxian and asked, "Boy, can you endure hardship?"
Yun Wuxian nodded without hesitation.
"You don't have to promise me in a hurry, you can think about it and wait until you think clearly before making a decision. Lao Ma said.
Lao Ma didn't know that Yun Wuxian had suffered the most hardships in the world. Now, any suffering cannot be regarded as bitterness for a dog.
"Uncle Ma, I don't have any other strengths. But when it comes to hardship, I have never flinched. I'm willing to do anything to keep me here. Yun Wuxian swore solemnly.
The old horse didn't speak, he stared straight at Yun Wuxian with his eyes. Lao Ma is over half a hundred years old, and he can be said to have read countless people. From Yun Wuxi's resolute gaze, Lao Ma could see that the seemingly honest half-grown boy in front of him really had a spirit of not admitting defeat.
"Okay. You go back and wait for me, and when I come back from collecting medicine, I'll take you to meet someone. If, he agrees to teach you martial arts. Wait for the 'Martial Arts Conference', and you will be able to make a splash. ”
After listening to the old horse's words, Yun Wuxian obediently went back. In a restless state, Yun Wuxian waited for the old horse's return. In the distance, Yun Wuxian saw the old horse carrying a bundle of dry firewood-like things, staggering back.
Yun Wuxian hurriedly ran over and helped the old horse carry those hay-like things.
"I didn't see it, you kid is very energetic. Lao Ma said.
"My father was a blacksmith. When I was at home, I was helping my father make iron. Ah Dog said.
"You don't say that you should help your father strike iron at home. What are you running out for? Are you like those fools who came to Moshan, like cultivating an immortal body? Lao Ma said.
Yun Wuxian turned his head to look at the old horse and asked, "Don't you want to?"
"What doesn't belong to you, try not to think about it. Lao Ma said, "I think that the gods may not have my happiness." ”
"Immortals can fly in the sky. Yun Wuxian said.
"Have you ever seen a fairy?" asked the old horse.
