Chapter 9: Deciduous Town
The next morning, Gao and his family simply packed up, bringing only some belongings.
"Xiaobai, let's go, you take care of yourself!" Liu Ruhua looked at the boy in front of him who was about the same height as herself, and told Li Mubai with great concern some things to pay attention to.
Li Mubai did not feel the slightest impatience, but felt warm in his heart, just like when he was alone for a long time, when he was lonely and lonely, he usually felt unbearable nagging, but he felt extraordinarily cordial.
"Alright, it's not too early, we should go too!" Gao Yuanli interrupted Liu Ruhua's chatter.
Liu Ruhua turned around and glanced at him, but still said to Li Mubai: "Let's go." ”
"Aunt Liu, you guys pay attention to safety all the way!"
"Brother Xiaobai, I will miss you!" the little girl looked at Li Mubai reluctantly.
Li Mubai squatted down, looked at the little girl levelly, and said, "I will miss you too!"
"Then you must come and see me!" the little girl still remembered the promise.
Li Mubai put his forehead against the little girl's forehead and said, "I will, I promise!
Li Mubai let go of the little girl and waved his hand with a smile.
The little girl followed her parents forward, and kept turning back all the way until she couldn't see Li Mubai.
"Mother, will Brother Xiaobai come to see me?" The little girl raised her head and looked at Liu Ruhua with blank eyes.
"Of course he would, didn't he promise you?" Liu Ruhua gently squeezed the little hand in his hand.
The little girl hesitated for a moment, and said, "But he doesn't know where we're going?"
"Then when we get there, I'll send a letter to tell him, okay?" When Liu Ruhua didn't know how to answer, Gao Yanli turned around and said.
The little girl laughed when she heard this, as bright as the sun: "Okay, thank you, Daddy!"
"Now you can rest assured!
......
Li Mubai watched their backs gradually disappear, and his heart was a little empty.
"It's another person!"
Li Mubai walked to the house, and there was no silver bell-like laughter of the little girl in the past, nor did she have that beautiful face, tall and reliable figure......
"Alas!"
Li Mubai was lying on the bed, quietly thinking about the things of the past few days, a little melancholy.
"What is this?"
Li Mubai felt that there was something under the pillow and panicked, touched under his pillow, and found that it was ten taels of silver, if he saved a little, it was enough for him to use it for a while.
"It should have been left by Aunt Liu!" Li Mubai showed a happy smile.
"But I still have to think of a way, the most important thing at the moment is to support myself!"
After their family left, no one was responsible for the food, and Li Mubai needed to find a way by himself, relying on these ten taels of silver alone, he could only sit and eat nothing.
"Tomorrow I'm going to Fallen Leaves Town to find a job and a place to stay, after all, this place is still a bit dangerous for me right now. ”
There are many snakes, insects, tigers and leopards in the forest, with Li Mubai's martial arts, if you want to come and go freely in this kind of forest and old forest, it is still far away!
Thinking of martial arts, Li Mubai suddenly came to his senses, it is boring to be idle alone, it is better to practice martial arts.
When he came to the outside of the house, Li Mubai put on a posture, one move and one style, which was not only smooth compared with before, but also seemed to be much more powerful.
Li Mubai seemed to be tireless, constantly practicing, venting the anguish, confusion and anxiety in his heart.
It wasn't until the sun was rising that Li Mubai was soaked in sweat and gasping for breath that he stopped, and simply lay on his back on the ground.
"Am I going to live like this for the rest of my life?" Li Mubai muttered to himself.
When I was young, I remembered the yearning for the wanton and chic rivers and lakes, the envy of drinking and eating meat, and the dream of happiness and hatred and leisure......
Li Mubai's delicate and immature face was a little hideous, and he roared in a low voice: "No, I have been mediocre all my life, I will never be willing to be dull in this life, even if I am a meteor, I want to be brilliant at that moment!"
After a long time, Li Mubai slowly got up from the ground, feeling some soreness in his body, and Li Mubai smiled bitterly.
"Be careful in the future, it's better not to let yourself be like this if it's not in a safe place. In case of an emergency, such a state, it is not looking for death. ”
Li Mubai reflected on his behavior, he didn't want his life to be lost for such a reason.
After eating something indiscriminately, Li Mubai cleaned it up and began to cultivate internal strength.
The progress of internal strength is very slow, but it is more necessary to persevere and endure loneliness in order to achieve something. Li Mubai enjoyed the feeling of cultivating internal strength very much, and could feel that he was becoming stronger little by little, just like playing an online game and watching his characters continue to improve their level, addicted to it, unable to extricate himself.
"It's wonderful to feel yourself getting stronger little by little! No wonder there is such a creature as a martial idiot!"
......
Early the next morning, Li Mubai got up as usual to practice, and then washed up to prepare for finding a job, after all, first impressions are important. The clothes on his body were bought with the help of Gao Yuanli, very ordinary cotton clothes.
Although he had enough food and started to practice martial arts in the past half a month, it couldn't make Li Mubai get rid of his thin body and look like he was malnourished.
Li Mubai packed up a few of his clothes, and the rest did not move, leaving them in their original state. Walking into the courtyard, Li Mubai looked back at the slightly rough house.
"I wonder if there will be a chance to come back in the future?"
Although this is an ordinary house, it is not ordinary for Li Mubai at all.
Li Mubai retracted his nostalgic gaze, turned around and left with his baggage, and walked in the direction of Fallen Leaf Town.
Along the way, Li Mubai did not encounter any danger, nor did he encounter half a person, only the sound of himself stepping on the fallen leaves in the forest, and the occasional sound of insects.
"Why haven't you arrived yet? Didn't Uncle Gao say that it wasn't far away?"
Li Mubai wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the sun, it was not early, he had been walking for almost two hours, but not to mention the town of Fallen Leaves, he didn't even see anyone.
"It can't be lost, right?" Li Mubai thought of a possibility, but looked at the direction of the sun, "That's right! This is the direction in the north, is it still ahead?"
Li Mubai had no other choice but to continue to move forward.
Out of the forest, I finally saw people, there were people working in the farmland, Li Mubai was happy in his heart, his tired legs seemed to be injected, he walked a few steps briskly, and came to the edge of the farmland.
"This big brother, let me ask you, which direction is this Fallen Leaf Town?"
The man wiped a handful of sweat, stretched out his hand and pointed in one direction, and said, "You will be there in about a quarter of an hour after walking all the way from here." ”
"Thanks for the pointers!"
Li Mubai suddenly said: "It turned out that the direction was wrong, it was really not easy to find a place in ancient times, and I knew that the direction was still in the wrong place." ”
