Chapter 12: Pothos
In a few days, Ni Xin was almost fine, as early as the next day, Ni Xin wanted to get out of bed, but the little girl didn't let go, until today Ni Xin insisted, the little girl reluctantly let go of him for an hour.
In the past few days, the little girl will come to chat with Ni Xin every day, and Ni Xin also probably learned about the general situation of the little girl's family, the little girl's name is Jin Mishuang, because her mother likes pothos, so her nickname was changed to pothos.
And the bald middle-aged man standing at the door that day was named Jin Chang, the father of Luluo, and it was Jin Chang who carried him back after Ni Xin fainted that day.
Jin Chang is the only blacksmith in Chengqiao Town, and his iron-making skills are well-known, and even many people from other towns come to Jin Chang if they need it.
As for Luthos's mother, it is said that she died after giving birth to Luthos, and she herself has never seen her mother anyway.
It was also a coincidence that he would find Ni Xin outside the wall that day, because Luluo went to Lang Zhong's house on West Street to grab a few pairs of medicine for Jin Chang, and when he came back late, he saw Ni Xin curled up in the corner, so frightened that he hurriedly went back to the house and called Jin Chang.
Ni Xin stretched, he was a little doubtful that he was going to be paralyzed in bed for the past few days, Ni Xin walked to the courtyard and looked at this exquisite little courtyard.
The yard is not big, there is a locust tree in the middle of the yard, the two sides of the tree are full of flowers and plants, there is a stone table not far from the tree, there are four small stone piers on both sides of the stone table, but each is carved very neatly and symmetrically, there is a well in the southeast corner of the yard, and both sides of the well are also surrounded by wooden fences, obviously the owner of the yard has made no less effort.
Ni Xin walked directly to the front hall through the courtyard, and he learned from the mouth of the green pothos that Jin Chang went back to the front hall every morning to strike iron, because there were many people looking for Jin Chang to strike iron, even if it was winter, Jin Chang had to strike iron every day.
When Ni Xin arrived at the front hall, Jin Chang was beating a plow stick, even if it was the cold winter of the ninth month, Jin Chang was shirtless, with an apron made of cowhide in front of him.
Jin Chang sensed Ni Xin's arrival, but he didn't stop the movements in his hand, but he said: "You can really lie down, it's just frostbite, but you have been lying in bed for five days, if it weren't for watching the pothos rejoice every day, I would have kicked you out a long time ago." ”
Ni Xin scratched his head a little embarrassed, but he was muttering in his heart, if it weren't for the pothos, he really wouldn't be able to lie down for five days.
Ni Xin clasped his hands into fists and bowed deeply, and said to Jin Chang: "The grace of saving his life, Ni Xin has nothing to repay, if he soars day by day, he will repay today's kindness." ”
Jin Chang stopped the movement in his hand, he stared at Ni Xin for a long time, Ni Xin was uncomfortable, but he still bent over and didn't dare to get up, until Ni Xin's back was sore, Jin Chang spoke: "You kid is not real, just say a few beautiful words, just want to erase my food and drink for nothing in the past few days?"
"I'm just keeping a dog on a leash in the yard and being able to guard the yard for me. ”
After saying that, he added: "The dog still eats less than you." ”
Ni Xin scratched his head a little embarrassed when he heard Jin Chang's words.
Looking at Ni Xin's appearance, Jin Chang smiled and said:
"I'm just joking, you take it seriously, I don't have much culture, speak straighter, don't take it to heart, I don't think you have any skills, it just so happens that the pothos likes you again, so you stay with me and be an apprentice." “
Ni Xin was a little embarrassed, he wanted to join Tianhumen, but he thought that the food he was eating now was from other people, and the registration fee of two hundred taels, and he didn't know when he would be able to get it together, after thinking about it for a long time, Ni Xin also responded, and now he can't even eat, what else to talk about joining Tianhumen, isn't it a pipe dream.
Ni Xin returned to the room with his head stuffy, felt the warmth of the cabin, and stopped thinking nonsense, so it was okay for him to be an apprentice here in Jin Chang, and then have the opportunity to return to Xiangyang County, marry a family, and then serve his mother, and the same is true in his dream.
Cultivating immortals is too far away from him, he is just a poor boy who can't eat, and his cultivation is simply whimsical.
However, he was a little sorry for Guan Qiu Ji, and he promised to help him avenge him, but he gave Ni Xin's exercises Ni Xin tried to practice, but there were too many hidden and difficult words in it, and Ni Xin didn't understand it very well, he thought that if he met Xue Ke'er in the future, he could let her help him.
