"Master, when can we leave Sanssouci Island to see the outside world?" The young man untied the rope on his body, reached for a yellow-orange-orange ginkgo, and leaned forward to nibble while asking a middle-aged man who was walking towards the field in the distance.

The middle-aged man wore his hair in a bun and looked like a farmer, he looked up at the sea in the distance, his brows frowned slightly, and the sorrow that had gone through the vicissitudes spread from the bottom of his eyes. It's not that he doesn't want to leave the island, it's just that it's not time yet. He walked to the ridge with a hoe, sat down on the dirt, and then slowly turned to the young man and asked, "Why, do you want to leave the island like this?" It may be fun outside, but people's hearts are unpredictable, and if you are not careful, you will have a grudge with others, and the end will be miserable, so it is better to live on the island for the rest of your life, and be carefree!"

The young man put down his legs coiled on the branches, jumped in front of the master, and said cynically: " It's not that we have to survive in the outside world, let's go and see, have fun, and come back before we have had enough fun and grudge with others, and we don't necessarily have to be embarrassed by others, Sanssouci Island is very good, but I have only been out once since I was a child on this island, but I can't remember anything, I also want to go to those places where Master has been to have a look, Master, don't you say that the grassland is huge and open, the hometown Jiangnan is elegant and handsome, and the northern Central Plains is comfortable and comfortable. I haven't been to any of these places yet. ”

The young man's name is Yan Mubai, his parents are cloth, when he was five years old, because of the martial arts fight, unfortunately affected the lives of his parents, only this son was rescued, and was rescued by Shu Qianheng who passed by and brought back to Sanssouci Island. The island is sparsely populated, originally lived in more than a dozen families to escape the harsh government and fell here to hunt for a living, Shu Qianheng to the following, open farming, repair houses, and live in 17 years and take in a lot of people who have crossed the sea, now the island is like a quiet paradise, isolated from the world. The island is self-sufficient, and over time, everyone respectfully calls Shu Qianheng the owner of the island and treats him as the east.

Shu Qianheng touched his beard and looked at his beloved apprentice and smiled, then shook his head helplessly. How can things in this world be so easy, if you don't have the heart to harm others, you can protect yourself for a hundred years, it's really a bit absurd. The avenue of rivers and lakes is difficult to walk, and it is really only self-examination to gain a foothold.

Shu Qianheng turned his head to look at the sea again, the leisurely sea breeze blew, mixed with the smell of damp earth, and his already untidy hair swayed even more, he sighed and said: "That's it, the appointed time is almost up, let's pack our luggage and leave for Middle-earth tomorrow." "Great, thank you, Master." The boy took a few steps back as innocently as a child, and shouted, "I'll clean up right away." ”

Passing by the peach forest, he saw that Aunt Li and her husband, who had taken care of him since childhood, were picking peaches, and then sorting and framing them one by one.

"Uncle Li, Aunt Li, Master and I want to travel out of the island tomorrow, it may take a long time to come back, let me help you carry this last peach to the refrigerated cave." ”

Unlike other people on this island, the background of this master and apprentice is a mystery, and they know martial arts, Sanssouci Island is by no means a place to stay for a long time. Although they knew it in their hearts, they were still quite surprised when they heard this, they didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

"Will you ever come back?" asked Aunt Li.

"Yes, it's just that it will take some time, Master and I both like Sanssouci Island, and we will definitely come back, I'm afraid of parting, so don't tell anyone else, and I'll tell you when we leave early tomorrow morning." Aunt Li's eyes were a little moist, although the child was not her own, but she had a lot of affection for taking care of her at home since she was a child, and it was really sad to leave at this time.

"When the child is older, it's a good thing to see the world, don't be so sad for his aunt. After Uncle Li finished speaking, he patted Yan Mubai on the shoulder, "The road outside is not easy to walk, and there is more suffering than pleasure, so our family will swear to live here for the rest of our lives, and never leave the island, it is normal for you to want to go outside to see when you are young, but remember, come back at any time if you are unhappy, we are all waiting for you to come back at this house." Yan Mubai sniffled and tried to grin, "Well, remember." ”

The three of them carried the boxes containing the peaches one by one to the refrigerated cave. This cave is far from the backlight, steep and deep, and the snow is difficult to get rid of in winter, so it is cold all year round, and it is perfect for storing autumn fruits and grains.

After Yan Mubai finished his work, he returned to his hut with his master, and saw the master sitting in the hall drinking tea, the hot tea was steaming, like the master's alienated and indifferent eyes at this time, "Presumably the master is also reluctant." Yan Mubai said in his heart, "But even if you don't give up, you have to go to the island." Yan Mubai's upper and lower teeth intersected, ruthless.

"Done?" said Master when he heard footsteps.

"Hmm. ”

"Go pack your things, bring some water and dry food, and eat on board. The raft we spent a long time building is still there."

"Well, several, all of them. ”

"That's good, there are some meals in the kitchen, let's go to bed early after eating. I'll go rest first" Shu Qianheng got up after speaking, walked straight into his room, and never came out.

"Master, how can I love my family more than me," Yan Mubai thought. Since he was sensible, he sighed as soon as he said that the master of the island sighed, and now he finally agreed, but he still looked reluctant, and the master seemed unhappy to stay here, but the island didn't seem to be so happy, hey, the master's mind was really difficult to figure out. Yan Mubai shook his head and turned to the kitchen to look for food.

In the early morning, the end of the sea is just slightly bright, and the ink-colored landscape painting-like horizon seems to be close in front of you, and you can reach for it. With the chirping of birds in the forest, the quiet island is even more lonely and beautiful. The surroundings are all twilight, only a touch of white on the other side of the sea, mixed with a little golden yellow, translucent and pleasant. This sunrise can really heal everything, and Master seems to be in a good mood when he sees the beautiful scenery of this early morning. Together, the two untied the raft and sailed west along the flowing river and sea.

"In Xia Shu Qianheng, and your owner is a young friend, now travel here, come to see, to comfort the feelings of parting for many years, Wan Wang for me to present a sticker, my master and apprentice are grateful. After Shu Qianheng went ashore, he took Yan Mubai all the way to stop and stop, and finally arrived in front of his friend's mansion in Taiyuan County, and at this moment he was asking the doorman to pass it on.

"Please wait. The doorman took the sticker to the left and looked at it, and immediately trotted in.

But in a moment, a steady young man in white walked out from the inside and saluted the two of them, "Two distinguished guests, coming from afar, the younger generation Qi Lin couldn't greet him, I'm really sorry." However, the family teacher is out and has not returned, if the two do not give up, they can go to the side hall to rest for a while, drink a cup of thin tea, and the younger generation immediately sends someone to invite the family teacher back to the village. After saying that, he bowed again. The manners are generous and decent, and they are very polite and thoughtful.

"The second brother is cheerful and kind, treats people sincerely, and really teaches and solves doubts, and the teacher is rigorous. The disciples are also so modest and orderly, much stronger than my stupid disciple, ha~ha~ha~" Shu Qianheng touched his slightly white beard and was happy.

Hearing this, Yan Mubai rolled his eyes at the master, pursed his lips, and said in his heart: "If I hold it like him, Master, wouldn't you have a lot less fun." But he didn't dare to show it at the moment, and followed this so-called humble disciple towards the door step by step.
