Chapter 814: A New Plan
Seeing that it was the fourth day, everything that should be done in this poor village where Beishui lived was done, during which not only beds were built for each family, but Chu Xunyu also captured a few wild boars and piglets for the villagers to eat and breed in captivity, and Forget Chen spent two days writing a lot of poems and literature manuscripts for the village with the memory of reading for many years, hoping that someone could impart knowledge to them, and Mu Yuan was not idle, the fields here were not well planted, after all, they were not able to do it, Mu Yuan still knew some farming, don't forget that he was punished by Master Hui Tan for working all the way to the end of Nanshan, so he cleaned up all the weeds and rough stones in the field, and also took out a lot of pastries that have been kept private for many years and distributed them to the children, coaxing them very happy.
These days, Beishui is carrying things to each household to repair doors, windows, eaves and other things, the people left here are the elderly and children, their physical strength is limited, they can't do heavy work, many houses have serious damage to the doors and windows of the roof, and when it rains, they leak, and they need to get a bucket or basin to receive water underneath, and the Beishui guy repairs them one by one. Katong didn't have so many things, Chu Xunyu asked him to stay and take care of the people and horses, just rest, and when these are finished, it has been four days, at night, Mu Yuan moved his shoulders, and the other two sat in the tent while drinking tea and resting while discussing the issue of finding Beishui early tomorrow morning to formally talk about going to the Central Plains, mainly to convince people with virtue, try to maximize their understanding of their life-saving benefactor, move with affection, and never implement the strategy of "knocking out and running away" until the last resort.
Early the next morning, Chu Xunyu and the three of them knocked on the cabin where Beishui lived, but unexpectedly Beishui did not invite them in, Mu Yuan stretched out his head to take a look, and was surprised to find that Beishui was actually a very particular person, the house was cleaned cleanly, although the furnishings were simple, but spotless, Beishui led them to the door, and sat on the firewood pile to talk, when Wangchen took the initiative to ask Beishui what he was going to do next, Beishui was surprised and asked: "What to do?" Your affairs have long been over, what do you want to do after the poison has been pulled? I am very grateful to you for helping the old people and children in the village these days, and you can go wherever you want, why do you still come to ask me?"
Chu Xunyu took the initiative to express the idea of going to the Central Plains, and also made it clear that this was the last wish of the old-timers, hoping that Beishui could leave here, and he was willing to make a book, so that he could take him out of Southern Xinjiang, find Sun Mengxuan, and then go to the Central Plains to settle down. But unexpectedly, after finishing speaking, Beishui neither agreed nor refused, but lowered his head and kept silent, as if he was pondering something, which the three of them did not expect, because they had already prepared Beishui's plan to refuse and agree, but they didn't expect him to be silent and fall into a stalemate.
In the end, it was Beishui who broke the deadlock first, but his answer was unexpected by the three of them, he raised his head and said slowly: "Actually, I know that the three of you are cultivators of the Central Plains, don't hide it from me, I have followed the old man for so long and have seen some methods, and I also know that the three of you have to come to Southern Xinjiang to do something extraordinary, I have a proposal, I will be your guide, instead of Katong." He can be allowed to settle in the Central Plains in advance. ”
"Don't worry, wait until I'm done. Beishui motioned for the three of them to be calm and continued, " In fact, I have been thinking about this for a long time, I have more advantages than Katong, you can use me, first, I have lived all over southern Xinjiang for a long time, and I make a living by opening gambling houses, so the three religions and nine streams can do everything, and the customs of all ethnic groups know everything, and Katong only understands the Miao and Dai people clearly, and the others are a little stranger, and I know the language of several ethnic groups, after all, this is the cost of my meal, which I am stronger than him; I have also seen the methods of some cultivators, so not only can I protect myself better than him and not cause trouble to you, but I can also simply remove some cups and descend, which can help you more, what do you think?"
This remark did surprise the three of them a little, I didn't expect him to say this, in fact, looking back and thinking about it, Beishui is indeed more suitable than Katong to be his guide, but there is one thing that is not very good, that is, in case of emergency, how can Beishui have an explanation to the old man under the nine springs? Beishui smiled and asked Wangchen: " Brother, you just said not long ago that all ethnic groups in the world should be treated equally, and you promised Katong's uncle to protect him, and you also promised the old man to protect me, so if there is a mistake in Katong under your hands, aren't you also ashamed of his uncle? Is it because the old man saved you that you treat me differently? Discriminating against Katong is your original intention?"
"No, no, no, never, we're all the same. Forget Chen hurriedly denied that the three of them had never had such an idea.
However, Chu Xunyu is always vigilant, and he asked Beishui rhetorically: "Then little brother, why do you want to follow us to the southern frontier? You know better than Katong about the danger, not to mention anything else, I just said that I would take care of the village, so what else can you not rest assured?" What's more, even if the old man is a great supernatural power, he has already returned to dust, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, it will become a memory, Beishui, the owner of the gambling house, his lifelong wish is nothing more than to make money, not only to make himself live well, but also to let the people in the village live better, now there are Chu Xunyu, they are so generous and selfless to support but abandon it, isn't it contrary to common sense?
Beishui really thought about it, and threw out an astonishing grand theory, he asked the three of them: "Don't hide it from me, did you come to southern Xinjiang to find the lost golden city?"
The three of them were all stunned, they didn't expect Beishui to figure out how to figure this out, but Beishui smiled coldly: "You can still guess this kind of thing? You can find a three-year-old child in southern Xinjiang and you know that nine of the ten Han people who came to southern Xinjiang were in search of the Golden City, and the remaining one was appointed by the imperial court to be an official." ”
"Then what does this have to do with you?" Chu Xunyu obviously didn't understand the key to this, "Do you want to find it too?"
"I don't think it matters if you want to go or not, what matters is how do you find clues?"
"What? Listen to what you mean, do you know where it is?" Mu Yuan heard the meaning of Beishui.
"It's in the ancient song passed down by the Miao people. "The North Water hits the nail on the head.
"How do you know?" Chu Xunyu sneered in his heart, knowing that this person was not simple.
Beishui pointed to the grave of the old man on the mountain not far away, "The old man is a Miao person, I was raised by him since I was a child, and I have known this secret for so many years before and after the saddle, he is old, and naturally remembers the lyrics of ancient songs more than ordinary people." ”
"Oh?" Mu Yuan was overjoyed, this old man was a great supernatural person, his means were all over the sky, and he was a Miao person, so he was very clear and should, so he hurriedly asked, "So the old man passed on the secret of the Golden City to you?"
"Not really. ”
"Isn't that nonsense. Mu Yuan helplessly spread his hands.
"But I know who he passed it on. Bei Shui seemed to be going to be silent today, and he told an amazing secret for the third time, "I don't plan to hide anything from you today, let me tell you everything, this old man was taught by Baizhong before his death, and I don't know his name, since I can remember, he asked me to call him ' Black Sang Weng', I don't know why he defected, but he has a daughter, who was not taken with him when he fled, and stayed in the Baizhong Sect, which has always been jealous because the old man used to be a big man in charge of the party, maybe because the Black Sang Weng has something important or secret in his hands, no one knows about this, in short, the Baizhong Sect did not kill his daughter' Ou Chan', has been staying in the sect, so all these years he has been trying to save his daughter, otherwise he would have taken me to the Central Plains, why wait until today, he has passed on all the content he knows about ancient songs to his daughter, I have seen Ou Chan learn to sing ancient songs a few times on the side, so I will take you deep into the Baizhong Sect, rescue his daughter, not only can you understand the secrets of the Golden City, but also understand the regrets of his old man's life by the way, how about it?"
"I see. Mu Yuan suddenly realized, "I said that why did the old man always say 'it's a pity, it's a pity' in the end, it turns out that there is an orphan girl who is still in the world but can't meet, sin, sin." ”
Chu Xunyu remained calm as usual, restrained the joy in his heart, and asked quietly and rhetorically: "Then what does this have to do with you? Do you know how dangerous it is to go deep into the Hundred Middle School Sect? What is the benefit of risking your life for you?"
"Of course I know how dangerous the Hundred Middle School Sect is. Beishui lowered his head for a long time before holding back the last surprising sentence of the day, "She ...... She's my mother-in-law...... We've been married since we were kids...... It's my wife, of course I'm going to save him. ”
"Huh?" The three of them didn't expect that there was such a thing here, it turned out that Beishui had been married to the old man's daughter Ou Chan since he was a child, no wonder this kid was reluctant to go to the Central Plains, his wife was still detained by the Baizhong Sect, Beishui also told the three of them, in fact, the old man has been trying to save people all these years, but his body is not as good as day by day, and the injuries on his body were injured by other masters in the sect when he fled, so he has more than enough strength, and at the same time promised the three of them, as long as they can rescue Ou Chan, let him leave immediately, in return, he will let Ou Chan translate the ancient songs into Chinese and teach all to you, it depends on Chu Xunyu Whether they agree or not......
