Chapter 132: Stay away from the rivers and lakes

He's always been a guy who likes to go against himself.

When I was young, I didn't like to practice martial arts, but I had to practice martial arts, which was something I had no escape and no choice.

Due to his life experience, he has always had a natural sense of alienation and indifference to everything in the world, what martial arts competition, the grand scenery of the mountaintop, for him, is meaningless, this is like someone moving a box of golden gold to tempt those who are born with the Tao, not because gold is not precious, so they are not moved, but because for them, these yellow and white things are like stones on the side of the road, they don't even bother to pick it up, this is the difference in mood.

He has always liked to escape, because he feels that an orphan who has been abandoned at birth has no responsibility to anyone and does not need to prove himself to anyone.

In addition, when he was young, he had already seen too many life and death, which led him to instinctively reject and even fear the practice of martial arts, because in his young mind, he felt that the harder he practiced, the closer he would be to death in the end, and it was enough to have the power of self-preservation.

Because of this, even if he didn't want to disappoint Lao Xin and others when he grew up, he still couldn't bear his subconscious rejection of cultivation, and he lived in a state of confusion, even if he played the flute and stroked the piano, he didn't want to work hard to practice, until after that incident, he even hesitated on the grassland for three whole months before he finally made up his mind to go to Chang'an.

After coming to the strange city of Chang'an, he wanted to keep a low profile and investigate slowly, but he never thought that by mistake, he was put step by step in the position he didn't want to stand on, even though the strength was enough, but his state of mind did not match it at all.

Especially Yuan Lao's human incarnation, he only bent on reporting the cause and effect of being given martial arts luck back then, even if it was fueled by seedlings, he didn't care, after all, in his opinion, the reincarnation of the Divine Monarch should not be so unbearable, how to feed him, he could hold on, and there was no need to worry about it at all.

He forgot that Li Qingchen and Shenjun were two completely different people.

After reshaping the origin in the Xuanmiao Pill Furnace that contained the Six Ding Divine Fire, at a critical juncture, it was also by relying on the last trace of strength left by the Divine Monarch in his previous life to forcibly blind his Dao heart, so that he was able to survive the difficulties, but he did not really change, but was only temporarily blinded by his mind, and when he bumped into Lao Wang again, he finally began to collapse completely from the inside out.

If virtue is not worthy, there will be disaster, and this is what he deserves.

Martial arts practice, of course, he didn't want to give up so easily, because of the revenge of Lao Xin and others, he hadn't had time to revenge, but at the same time, in his childhood memories, that fear of death, once again because of Lao Wang's matter, hit his heart, in his opinion, the higher his cultivation, the more misfortune he would bring to others, the more misfortune he brought to himself, and the more people were involved, so he would rather sink by himself than be too lazy to think of a way to restore his cultivation.

After leaving Shen Jianxin and the others, he lowered his head, followed the crowded crowd, and left Chang'an on foot.

------

It has been more than half a month since he left all the troubles, and in the end, even Li Qingchen, who was a thin horse in a green shirt and sold it for money, finally found the most ordinary, restaurant guy in a small town on the edge of Shannan Road, and lived like this.

The restaurant is responsible for three meals a day, living in the warehouse, and having to guard the place at night, although there is not much money, but he does not have any special expenses, the most important thing is nothing more than the wine to dispel sorrow.

The town is located in the middle of nowhere, like a paradise, there are not many outsiders who come and go here, and the news is not clear, so they don't know everything that happened in Chang'an City, not to mention that even if they do, it is just a little more capital jokes to talk with people after dinner, but they would never have thought that the restaurant guy in front of them turned out to be the young phoenix who was born out of thin air, but suddenly disappeared.

In such a big Chang'an City, the young talents who have emerged and attracted a moment of turmoil are too far away from them, but Li Qingchen, a young man, can see and touch, a real person, so no one will connect these two people together.

The men in the town who lived a leisurely life didn't pay much attention to this foreign boy, and then there were many young girls and those mothers-in-law and aunts who had never known what shame was, and came to the restaurant to say some meat words to tease this handsome little brother who had always been silent, had never seen a smile on his face, and listened to the shopkeeper, called the handsome little brother who forgot his worries.

The daily life can be seen at a glance, nothing more than getting up early to clean up, and then opening the door to welcome guests, delivering dishes at the same time, occasionally going to the kitchen to help, there is nothing new to say, in fact, don't say the people in the town, the difference between the life of the vast majority of people in the world and him is only in the content, and its essence is still boring repetition, but it is precisely because this kind of day can be seen at a glance, there will be no accidents, so it is reassuring.

Such quiet days had been such a long time, and if it weren't for the fact that he could still feel his broken middle dantian, the broken meridians all over his body, and the faint pain coming from his heart every night, he would have almost completely forgotten who he really was.

Forgetting worries is a goal that can never be achieved.

------

The folk customs of the town are simple, the relationship between the neighbors on the street is also very good, there is no ruffian hooligans to make trouble, after all, they are all the relationship between bowing their heads and not looking up, and the family patriarchy is far more effective here than the laws of the imperial court.

But perhaps because this foreigner brother is really not very old, and he has always been taciturn and very low-key, and the shopkeeper of this restaurant is also a rich man here, so for more than a month, almost no one has been jealous of him for sucking all the attention of those idle women in the town.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant is surnamed Luo, and he has no children under his knees, only one daughter, named Luo Xian'er, who is twenty-seven years old, is a beautiful age to be released, and he is born slim, well-behaved and lovely, and there have always been many people who come to propose marriage.

She grew up in a small town since she was a child, and the farthest is just to go to a nearby county seat, and when she was still very young, so her temperament is extremely simple, and although she is not born in Zhong Mingding's food family, she is also considered to be worry-free about food and clothing, and is very well taken care of, as the only daughter in the family, she was doted on and grew up, and even studied private school for a few years, so she is far less conservative than other women in the town, very lively, and still has a longing for everything outside。

Luo Xian'er was born with a pair of phoenix eyes, a childish little round face that has not yet receded, her facial features are exquisite, beautiful but not charming, clear but not cold, small jasper, just like the summer willow, when you see it, you will feel the breeze blowing on your face, and she loves a yellow skirt the most, as if the daisy will open, which makes people feel pity.

Seeing that she jumped over the threshold, and then trotted all the way to this side, her eyebrows and eyes were full of the purest happiness, but it was the bright sunshine that Li Qingchen had never seen.

"Brother Forget, guess what I brought you?"

Li Qingchen didn't hear it when he heard it, he didn't raise his head bald, and his hand wiping the table didn't stop all the time.

The shopkeeper Luo of the restaurant is kind-hearted, he is a rare businessman with a good conscience, he did not deliberately squeeze Li Qingchen, a homeless foreigner, and it can even be said that he took in the other party out of sympathy, there were originally buddies in the store, so what he has to do every day is actually not too much, of course, this physical foundation is here, even if the cultivation is lost, it is not a troublesome thing to talk about like these jobs.

Luo Xian'er saw that he ignored him, but he was not annoyed, but took the opportunity to lift the oiled paper bag he was carrying in his right hand, with his left hand behind his back, tilting his head, with a smug expression on his face, and seeing that the eyes of another young man who was delivering food next to him were straight, and he almost didn't splash a pot of soup on the guest's body.

Li Qingchen wrung out the rag and grabbed it in his hand, then raised his head and frowned: "You can also make it in this fried cake shop, why do you need to buy it outside?"

When Luo Xian'er heard this, her two eyes almost bent into a crescent moon, it seemed that this girl had never encountered any unhappiness since she was born, so she smiled all day long, and walked with a jump, which was very energetic.

"Brother Forget Worry, you don't understand this, even if it's the same thing, but it is made by your own family, and it tastes different from those bought outside, and occasionally you change it to eat, it is even more unique, Brother Forget Worry, you can taste it, there is brown sugar hidden in it, but it is delicious, you just have to be careful, I almost burned my tongue just now." ”

As she spoke, the girl stuck out her tongue and looked extremely playful.

Li Qingchen didn't even look at it, then lowered his head again, and picked up the wooden basin filled with sewage next to him, his tone was still cold.

"No need, there are many customers in the store now, I still have to be busy, if the eldest lady has nothing else to do, don't bother me." ”

His attitude was extremely cold, but the girl had infinite vitality, like the confrontation between the summer sun and the winter ice, she was not discouraged, but grabbed the oil paper and wrapped it around the other side, and her tone was full of curiosity and kept chattering.

"Brother Forget Worry, just tell me, what is it like outside, okay, I heard my father say that you came from Youzhou, thousands of miles away, how did you insist on walking so far, you have to have a carriage, right? Alas, if it were me, even if there was a carriage, I wouldn't be able to go so far, and besides, why did you run so far, Brother Forget Worry, are you a ranger on the rivers and lakes, you are tired of wandering the rivers and lakes, so you have to rest for a while in our Luer Town?"
