Chapter 18: The Little Thing About Being Alive

When Nian'an got up, the sky was slightly bright. Since he went to find Yu Daochang on Qingyang Mountain that day, this is the fifth day in a row that the boy has left the warm bed so early.

The sun is setting.

He pushed open the door, and the hyacinth hanging under the eaves barely spun around.

Probably because of the fact that no one has changed it after four or five days of staying here, the bottom of this hyacinth has begun to turn yellow and dry, and it looks funny and clumsy when shaken in the wind.

......

Regarding the matter of changing his life, the half-demon boy made cruel words in front of Yu Daochang that day, and he wanted to give up everything to pursue.

But it's not easy to take a few steps along the way to find out.

After all, people's hearts are flesh and blood.

The first trouble is the girl at the other end of the yard who the teenager has been more and more confused about how to face these days. Nian An actually secretly thought about the storyteller's story, people deliberately alienated from someone in order to live, so as to make the other party's life less difficult.

At first, the boy thought that this should be suitable for him, but after thinking about it all night, he finally found that this method could not be hard to apply.

I am stupid, Qiuqiu's girl is smart and tight, and it is estimated that half of this scene will be smashed in my hands.

......

Nian An wanted to think more about the girl, thinking about it, but first made her heart like a rolling wave for a while, and then pulled like a moon hook hanging high.

Entangled in contradictions, the young man is so smart that he wants to sort out all kinds of pros and cons in his heart, so that he can see clearly.

But this is really counterproductive, in the end, not only did he not make a decision in his heart, but the more rational and chaotic, the more chaotic and more reasonable, and unconsciously "the girl ripped off her headscarf in the courtyard that night and was still fluttering in the wind by the green silk" The scene became more and more profound in his mind.

"That's not a good sign......" Nian An hugged her head and shrunk under the hyacinth, sighing.

He found that the only thing he could do was to go out early and return late every day.

It's better not to see her first, it's better not to read it first, so that you can try to throw her out of your head

......

In addition to the girl, the topic of being alive actually seems quite heavy.

However, with the fermentation of the understanding of life in his heart a few days ago, Nian'an now has some insights of his own.

Since the day of the fight, after writing nine thousand big lives in the moonlight under the summer rain, Nian An always felt that the deep anxiety and panic in his heart in the past were not so cut. Faintly, it seemed that there was something ahead waiting for him to grasp.

But after all, the Taoist said that there is only a twenty percent chance to change his life, so the chance of surviving past eighteen should not be very big.

This made him sour again.

But in the dark, the young man could always hear a voice whispering in his ear: "This world will definitely treat you gently." ”

And that made him happy.

Although he was swayed by two very contradictory emotions, for some reason, the young man had more sincere smiles on his face than before.

Every day when he goes out, he will learn from his mother's old mother's appearance and give everyone he meets a set of "good morning, good afternoon and good night." Now that he is facing the last four years of his life, the boy is even more convinced that he has to add some spice to his simple life.

The road ahead is unclear, and the end point is so annoying, so why not simply save all the current days in your hands?

So the half-demon boy walking on the street stepped on the dirt and sang happily.

The children on the north street still spoke ill of him, even with embarrassing gestures, but the boy smiled at them, smiling brighter than ever, and even went in to greet them. These children have never seen this formation, and they scattered and fled in a boiling sound.

The alleys of the deep houses in the middle city don't look as majestic and mysterious as the legend says, and Nian'an even tiptoed to the doors of those houses two days ago when the sky was bright. At first, the young man was stunned, but except for the tall courtyard gate still staring at him quietly, there didn't seem to be a military servant steward who led the vicious dog to chase and kill him.

So the boy became even bolder, and he even went to the south of the city to eat a bowl of hot and spicy noodles and ran to the bustling commercial main street with a lot of people to burp. I don't know if the sound of cars and horses around is too noisy, except for the old man who sells smoothies and glances at him in surprise, the people around him don't even bother to shake their hair in this way.

In order to change his life, Nian An also went to Qingyang Mountain to practice the "sword", of course, this sword is not a peerless famous blade, it is a branch that the young man found under the crooked neck tree.

Don't look at the humble branches now, the young man actually treasures it, and even secretly gave his side sword the kind of reputation that sounds awesome - the Frost Sword.

Whenever the sword is practiced to a proud place, Nian'an even has to match it with a sword inscription, what is it called a full house of three thousand drunken guests, and a sword frost and twelve states.

Of course, the boy with such a famous sword should still be some distance away from the top master.

How big?

It's big, it's big......

------------------------------------

Fallen leaves flutter and churn at will.

At this time, Nian An was standing with his back against the crooked neck tree according to the instructions of Yu Daoren.

A copper coin tree hangs, and two gusts of wind blow and shake.

The Taoist wanted Nian'an to stab in his back, poking the "tip of the sword" into the swinging copper coin eye.

But now the boy doesn't want to poke a branch into the copper coin hole, but the essentials of the stabbing action in his back give him a headache. On two occasions, the teenager even fell on all fours because of the force he exerted, and he rolled several times on the slope of Qingyang.

Yu Sheng also came to see the boy twice today, although he didn't speak, but he helped Nian An correct those miserable habits and postures.

Of course, the first thing is that the boy should not always recite the Ruyi sword inscription he created before every time he comes out of the stick.

......

"This kid, I'm afraid he was stupid by the change of life. Yu Daoren patted the young man's head helplessly and sympathetically.

......

......

The young man finished practicing his sword every morning, and in the afternoon, as usual, he had to lead the old donkey to the north of the city, and the low-lying water that poured the trough water had to go, and the waterhole on the edge of the Wei River that had become cooler and cooler in the past two days would of course have to be soaked.

Today, it just so happened that not long after Nian An came out of the pond, he ran into several sons of the family who were relaxing by the river.

-------------------------

"Brother Qiu Shi, I wonder if you have any plans to go to Chang'an next year and participate in the "Spring Dynasty Meeting"?" An elegant boy who looked like he was in his early twenties and dressed in a moonlight shirt pulled the horse rope, and asked Chang Sigongzi who had just dismounted in front of him with a casual smile.

Young Master Chang tilted his head and smiled, raised his hand to signal that the straight boy did not want to speak, and he leaned down and carefully approached the pile of bushes in front of him.

The boy seemed to know his temperament, and opened his mouth to laugh and curse in the air silently.

"The world is big, and the strange things are the biggest......"

Under the tree in front of Chang Gongzi, two waves of ants were fighting together for some reason, and looking at the formation, they were still that kind of non-stop. Chang Gongzi leaned his head closer, and unexpectedly sent that the two teams of guys were fighting for a kind of green clay. Chang Gongzi was so curious that he wanted to poke it with his hand, but several ants around him were so angry that they opened their mouths and bit him on their index fingers.

Chang Qiushi is also cute, his first reaction was not to turn over his hand and shake off the ants, but to subconsciously pull out the sword on his waist, as if accepting the challenge of the ants.

"It's really rare for Qiu Shi to have such a temperament. Ren Nanhua on the side was dressed in casual Yanju clothes today, and at this moment, he was looking up at the banks of the Wei River in front of him.

Long.

Chang Qiushi waited for the two waves of ants under him to decide the winner before standing up. The victorious side naturally flaunted their prowess and climbed high up in the trees with their booty. As for the losing side, they had just heard the mournful eulogy that Chang Si Gongzi read for them.

As if he had finally completed a big event, Chang Sigongzi wiped the dirt on his hands twice between the robes around him, whistled and stepped back onto his tall black cone horse.

As soon as Chang Sigongzi came up, the black horse, which was a head taller than an ordinary war horse, shook back and forth uneasily, and neighed in displeasure.

Someone was secretly rubbing the dirt off their hands back and forth on its mane.

"Chang Qiushi, you haven't answered my question yet?" the moon boy over there pretended to be impatient and yelled.

Chang Qiushi, who was rubbing it right away, clamped the horse's belly between his feet, and turned around to report to the young man in the moon suit and smiled sincerely: "Xiao Yinan...... Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. What's the matter? Your family forced you to take over that winery?"

The young man in the moon suit named Xiao Yinan grinned, and slightly urged Ma Chao Chang Qiushi to get closer, "Isn't Nanhua Gongzi going to Kyoto next year to participate in the "Spring Dynasty Meeting"? It's best for everyone to walk together, and there are many ways to take care of them. ”

Chang Qiushi pouted, "Then you're going to be disappointed, those guys in Kyoto who are high-eyed and low-eyed are looking down on our Beidi Erlang." ”

After a pause, Chang Qiushi added: "But if you go with Nanhua, naturally no one dares to underestimate you......"

After he said this, he subconsciously looked over to Director Nanhua, and saw that this friend was the standard humble gentleman who looked like a gentleman, and couldn't help but think of teasing. The whisper of "slightly ......" in his mouth urged the black horse, and a few hooves rushed over, and he was about to pull the Confucian crown that his friend was wearing on his head today.

Ren Nanhua didn't seem to notice the person and the rider behind him at all, and his attention was on Nian An and the black donkey who came out of another path on the side.

Ren Nanhua nodded subconsciously and smiled.

Chang Qiushi flew by, and although his palm touched the Ru Guan, he couldn't pull it off because of the sudden bow. Annoyed, he rubbed two more handfuls of black horsemane, and shouted resentfully in the tone of the maid in the house: "Nanhua Gongzi ......"

The person surnamed Xiao on the side held his forehead and shook helplessly.

"Chang Qiushi, this kid, can actually become a person with both ability and political integrity in Mr. "Shixin", which is really a great misfortune for Qu Bai. “

If you are careless in making friends, you are not careful in making friends!

......

......

Nian An patted the black donkey's back, and greeted Nanhua Gongzi with a little nervousness.

The other two rode away.

Ren Nanhua pointed to himself, and then pointed to the two people in front of him who had run away, nodded to Nian'an, and also walked away.

--------------

"Grandpa Cao, I'm tired, you carry me. "A little girl who is white and tender, like a porcelain doll, is carrying a delicate little red jacket in the summer, and now she is smiling coquettishly to the tall old man behind her.

"Miss...... It's only been a long time since this came out, and you have to go to the old slave's back, I'm afraid that the old man will be angry again when I go back. The old man bent his tall body down and waved his hand helplessly.

The little girl pursed her nostrils and stared at the old man, a pair of small brass bells staring at each other's eyes.

The old man with a silver frost head wanted to fight with the little girl today, so he also crossed his heart and met her big eyes.

......

After a long time, the old man was finally defeated by the little girl who threatened to take off the little red jacket on his body.

He squatted down helplessly, and naturally put his hands on his side and hugged them into two rings.

The little girl was so happy that she jumped over, passed her foot through a ring, and sat firmly on the old man's back.

"Walking...... Walking...... Grandpa Cao, let's go to the border city called Qubai in front of us to drink some soju. ”
