Zhao Zhi didn't say anything and sat there quietly.

Aunt Dai thought for a while, and said earnestly: "You also know that Fang Cheng will be ten years old in two days." There is a custom in our village that children respect their parents for filial piety. I'm not good at this old leg, I want to come and go in the village, and among the people who have gone up the mountain, Sun Ce and Fang Cheng are closer, it just so happens that you and Fang Cheng's father and mother are old acquaintances, I want to let Sun Ce take Fang Cheng to the mountain to pay tribute to his father and mother the day after tomorrow. ”

Zhao Zhi nodded, and responded: "Aunt Dai, don't worry, I promised to come down for Sun Ce, and when Sun Ce comes back in the evening, I will tell him." ”

Aunt Dai smiled with relief, got up and said, "That's good, there's nothing else, I'll go back first." ”

Without taking a sip of tea, Aunt Dai got up and left the courtyard.

Zhao Zhi was not polite, and got up together to see him off.

Seeing off Aunt Dai, Zhao Zhi returned to the courtyard and sat on the bench by herself.

"You heard that," Zhao Zhi said.

"That's not it, I heard it so well!" Sun Ce walked out of the room with a ruffian smile on his face and sat down on the chaise longue.

Zhao Zhi didn't care about the man's strange movements, and said to herself: "You can do the things that Aunt Dai explained, but don't go wrong." ”

Sun Ce smiled: "Daughter-in-law, just look at it!"

With that, the man picked up the teacup on the wooden table and drank it down, pouting.

The food is tasteless, but I dare not say it.

Zhao Zhi turned her head to look at Fang Chengjia on the next wall, and changed her words, "I'm going to retreat in the next few days." ”

Sun Ce's face instantly became solemn, isolating the heavens and the earth, and said, "The old injury has recurred?"

"Hmm. Zhao Zhi responded.

The man who completely lost his usual smiling face was angry, "It's hard to find the real hammer of the Penglai jade branch in this Golden Seal Mountain! Lao Tzu has been looking for five years, and he hasn't even seen a bud!"

With that, the man got up and shook the ground directly.

I saw that the place where Sun Ce landed collapsed three feet downward, the ground was torn apart, and the cracks spread rapidly in all directions, and there was no sign of stopping until he climbed the wall.

Zhao Zhi shook her head and said, "Destiny returns, don't force it." ”

With a wave of the woman's hand, the already torn courtyard gradually returned to its usual appearance as if it had gone back in time.

Zhao Zhi got up, looked at Sun Ce, who had a dark face, and comforted: "It's an old problem, press it, it's no big deal." ”

Sun Ce raised his head and looked at the sky, without saying a word.

————

The young man named Fang Cheng sent fish, and when he was free, he would think about what his situation would be if his father and mother were still there.

My mother will definitely save more money and send herself to the school in Qingyun County to study. Daddy's words, maybe he will buy a little donkey, lead the little donkey every day, and send himself to Qingyun County.

Fang Cheng, who was about to go home, thought of this, and walked a lot more cheerfully.

"Yo, that's not Fang Calamity!" Fang Cheng said a sarcastic voice in front of him.

Fang Cheng looked, and several boys in the distance walked towards Fang Cheng in groups of three or five.

The leader Fang Cheng knew that it was the young master of the Su family in the East Alley, Su Rui.

Su Rui is two years older than Fang Cheng, and his father is a village official who manages the entire Jinyin Village. At the beginning, the children in the village didn't want Su Rui, who had a big official in the family, to play with him, and they were a little afraid of him. Su Rui played a clever trick and said that whoever wants to be his little brother will give him two cents a day. As soon as they heard about this benefit, the children followed Su Rui's ass one after another. Seeing that someone had joined his team, Su Rui also became bolder, going to pick up dogs today and beat chickens tomorrow. Over time, Su Rui became the child king of Murakami.

Su Rui led his little brother and walked in front of Fang Cheng, crossed his hands on his waist, and said in an old-fashioned manner: "Who let you enter the East Alley?!

The word Feng Shui was still uttered by Su Rui when he heard his father chant it, and its meaning was to promote prosperity, dispel evil, and travel within the three studies, but what was the specific definition, Su Rui did not listen to his own explanation, for him, the main two words are curious enough, so that people can't see or touch, that is a talking point.

Isn't this just right to scare and scare others?

Fang Cheng looked at Su Rui's posture and was a little soft, "I'm here to deliver the fish..."

Without waiting for Su Rui to speak, a little girl about eight or nine years old behind her pinched her nose and said in disgust: "Oh, it smells bad, it's fishy." ”

"Death Calamity, kill your father and mother, you will send fish every day, and you will send fish for the rest of your life!" the other child looked at Fang Cheng with a disgusted face.

Fang Cheng retorted: "I'm not a disaster star! I won't send a lifetime of fish! I will..."

The boy who sent the fish was a little excited by what he said, and he almost forgot to promise Sun Ce.

The young man who was on the edge of the precipice closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Su Rui stretched out his hand, flicked Fang Cheng's head fiercely, and said contemptuously: "Heh, what else do you say? People want to accept their fate, do you know? I can use my father to make a fortune as a big official in the future, what about you, catch big fish?"

"That is, sooner or later, like his father and mother, he will die in the river. There was a echo from Su Rui's side.

Su Rui scoffed. Sure enough, people's happiness is based on the suffering of others.

The young man clenched his hands into fists, and his slightly red eyes stared at Su Rui.

Su Rui glared at Fang Cheng sarcastically, and shouted angrily: "What are you looking at! Don't get out of here yet! Rui ruined Young Master Ben's mood of going out!"

Fang Cheng was silent, turned around and walked towards the alley.

"Haha, let him get out, it's really a waste!"

"It's not as good as the village dog, and the dog will resist and bark twice. Tsk tsk, no wonder there is no father and no mother. ”

"I've been a stinky fish giver for the rest of my life!"

......

The knuckles of the two fingers carrying the bamboo basket turned slightly white, and the young man had tears on his face and walked out of the alley with his back to the voice.

When he returned home, the young man looked lonely, put down the bamboo basket, looked at the loess under his feet, and the young man squatted on the ground again.

I don't know how long it took, until a pair of feet wearing cloth shoes appeared in front of him, and Fang Cheng, who was stunned, raised his head.

It's Sun Ce.

Fang Cheng wiped his face, lowered his head, and muttered, "Brother Sun, why are you here." ”

"Ahh Sun Ce plucked out his ears.

Fang Cheng eased his emotions, stood up, looked at Sun Ce and said, "Brother Sun, why did you come in, I still have this door plugged in." ”

Sun Ce pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Oh, I came over the wall." Didn't you love to flip it a lot, it's pretty simple. ”

The man walked into the room and sat down on a chair.

Fang Cheng scratched his head, a little ashamed.

Sun Ce glanced at the young man, "Stinky boy, I see that your cultivation is quite fast! Could it be the best seedling of the legendary immortal cultivator?"

"yes, I think so too!" Fang Cheng was obviously a little happy.

This sentence was like a thunderbolt for the dull and depressed teenager, shattering all the gloom in the boy's heart.

Sun Ce learned from Su Rui's eyes and glared at Fang Cheng, "Do you think you are a hammer, do you think you are a pig?"

Fang Cheng, who was pouring cold water, wilted in an instant, and began to be silent again.

Sun Ce looked at Fang Cheng and said in a long-winded voice: "You said that you can be regarded as stepping into the immortal master with half a foot, what is the matter with you fighting with Su Rui and them, are you still afraid that you can't beat them? ”

The young man scratched his head and said, "Brother Sun, I'm different from them, I don't think that's good..."

Sun Ce was so angry that he immediately said: "It's not the same size as you, you will suffer from others bullying you?

Standing up, the man walked up to Fang Cheng, put one hand on Fang Cheng's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Fang Cheng, life is a rule in itself. ”

The boy did not answer, and did not know how to answer.

Sun Ce sighed and said: "In the future, when you step into the path of cultivating immortals, you will encounter even more embarrassing things than these, the world of immortal masters itself is a one-person achievement, I am not a gentleman who reads, and I will not be those long-winded gentlemen, but Fang Cheng, you remember, to be a man and an immortal is to fight for yourself!"

Fang Cheng hummed, his little hands clenched slightly.

Sun Ce smiled and said leisurely: "Husband, Heaven and Earth." ”

————

Hou Mansion, inside the hall.

Hou Baojun, who had completed the worship, sat on the chair, and next to him sat Master Hou and Mrs. Hou.

Master Hou looked at his baby daughter and said kindly: "Baojun, did Qingyun Sect say when it will pick you up?"

The girl was a little impatient, she had just sat down and had not yet warmed the chair, but she didn't dare to make a mistake in front of her parents, so she had to mumble, "Oh Dad, I'll be here tomorrow." And the second sister came back in person, so you can rest assured. ”

Master Hou smiled and said, "Okay, okay, my father won't ask in detail, so you won't be annoyed by your father." ”

As soon as this sentence fell, that sentence came up again.

Mrs. Hou asked with concern, "By the way, why did you come back with Fang Cheng?"

When the girl heard that it was about her peers, she suddenly became a little interested, "I happened to meet when I came back this morning, Eh, did Fang Cheng's father and mother pass away?"

Mrs. Hou nodded and said: "Well, the year before last, Fang Cheng's father and his mother went to the river to fish together, and the couple unfortunately stepped on a talc and fell into the river, and their heads hit the reef at the bottom of the river, and they both drowned. ”

The girl was silent.

I remember that in the early years when I was still in the village, Fang Cheng's father would always bring some gadgets to himself every time he came to Hou's house to deliver fish.

At that time, Fang Cheng felt that compared with Hou Baojun, Hou Baojun became the daughter of his father, and he became an outsider.

Master Hou thought for a while, and said earnestly, "You have to take it as a warning, remember not to be impatient when doing things, especially if you become an immortal master in the future, it will be even more..."

"Dad, didn't you say you wouldn't say it!" Hou Baojun covered his ears with his hands and interrupted Master Hou's words.

"Don't say it, Dad won't say it. Master Hou picked up the bowl on the table and took a sip of tea.

Hou Baojun jumped off the chair and didn't look back, "I'm back in the room!"

With that, the girl ran away as soon as she slipped away.

Back in the boudoir, Hou Baojun sat on the bed and carefully rolled up his cuffs, revealing a pair of white jade bracelets on his wrists.

Hou Baojun himself has a little secret, or a secret between him and Fang Cheng's father and Uncle Fang.

In the early years, Hou Baojun went to Fang Cheng's house to play with Fang Cheng, and was given this jade bracelet by Uncle Fang to wear on his hand, Uncle Fang clearly told Hou Baojun that this bracelet is of great significance, it is not an ordinary thing, and it must be worn on the body, and told no one to talk about this matter, not even his son Fang Cheng.

Hou Baojun looked at this bracelet and remembered the young man who carried a bamboo basket to deliver fish this morning,

She felt that she had to find an opportunity to sincerely apologize to Fang.

When it got dark and night, Fang Cheng set up his fishing nets by the river and returned home.

Sitting on the ground in the yard, looking at the moon in the sky, the little boy who was diligent in delivering fish every day was stunned.

He likes it like it now, alone, quietly.

It's just a little lonely.

The young man remembered what Sun Ce said in the afternoon, and his eyes looking at the moon gradually became tougher, he now, he has no father, no friends, and only one dream, stepping into the path of immortals, becoming an immortal master!

Having made up his mind, the boy jumped up and ran into the house.

Cross-legged on the bed, the boy sensed the qi, as if he had caught a fishing net full of fish.

There was a tremor in the clothes, and the gecko lying on the river poked its head out.

The boy picked up the gecko in his hand, looked at the gecko in front of him, and laughed at himself: "We both look quite weak." ”

The gecko winked as if he understood.

The young man smiled knowingly, "Everyone else raises chickens and dogs, so I'll go a trick and raise a gecko." ”

With that, the boy put the gecko on the bed and fell asleep on his side.

At night, geckos crawl along the side of the bed.

In the end, he climbed to the Jiuluan Feng and the gecko on the cabinet that Sun Ce and his wife said, nested his body, and closed his eyes that were as deep as the abyss.
