Chapter 25: A Body of Water
Jiang Wenlin was dressed in a long robe, no different from the previous dress in the private school, so Su Pinghai saw it at a glance.
It was Su Lunguo and Su Pinglin, who frowned slightly, and stood up together.
Su Chengnian said behind him: "Hai'er, why don't you hurry up and prepare tea?"
"Oh!" Su Pinghai was a little puzzled, and went to the living room step by step, really unable to figure out why Mr. Private School still chased him to the house.
Is it because the money is not enough? Can't be delivered in half a year?
Jiang Wenlin walked to the stone table where Su Lunguo was standing, pointed to the stone bench, and said, "I'...... Can I sit down?"
Su Lunguo came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Jiang, please take a seat!
Jiang Wenlin smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and stroked his short goatee, looked at the back of Su Pinghai who went to the living room, and said: "Pinghai, this child, is a good seedling of learning, I sometimes talk about it above, and he has already finished writing below, in this town, it is the first time for me to see such a smart child, it is really a pity not to go to school." ”
Su Lunguo glanced at Su Chengnian, saw that the other party was winking at him, and pointed at his money bag again, and as soon as a few eyes exchanged, Su Lunguo knew what was going on.
He said: "Mr. Jiang, it is natural for you to open the door to teach and collect tuition, why don't you charge our tuition?"
Jiang Wenlin said: "Just think of it as my fate with Pinghai in the last few months!"
Su Chengnian was stunned when he heard it, this seemed to be different from what Jiang Wenlin just said.
He thought about it for a while, and finally said, "I'll go prepare dinner, Mr. Jiang, please sit down and rest for a while, and talk while eating." ”
"I'm bothered!" Jiang Wenlin said, but he took out a dark red wine bottle from his long sleeves, with the words "daughter red" on it.
Su Chengnian felt that he had too much to eat, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad to keep him to eat.
But we can't get rid of him now.
Waiting for Su Chengnian to prepare the meal, Su Pinghai had already walked to the courtyard with tea, he looked at Jiang Wenlin and handed over a cup of tea, "Mr. Jiang, please use tea!"
"Well, good!" Jiang Wenlin looked at Su Pinghai, looked at it carefully, and after taking a sip of tea, he exclaimed: "You have beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and you love to learn, with your current qualifications, it is not difficult to take a career path!"
"Career?" Su Pinglin was taken aback and looked at Su Lunguo.
Su Pinghai said: "Does Mr. Jiang think I should be an official? But I don't want to be an official, when today's turmoil is inseparable, it has something to do with this government, the people are not happy, regardless of the hunger of the people, my uncles ......."
Speaking of these, the family was a little silent.
Jiang Wenlin sighed and said, "It's time for someone to stand up and clean up this ruined river and mountain, but ...... Ay...... Why do you mention this? I'm here today, in addition to wanting to eat a meal, I also want to ...... you" He looked at Su Lunguo and said, "I want to ask you about something!"
Su Lunguo nodded, "Please speak!"
Su Chengnian, who was far away in the kitchen, pricked up his ears again.
Jiang Wenlin whispered: "You are a person who travels from the south to the north, and you are directly south fifty miles away from here, have you ever been there?"
Su Lunguo thought for a moment, and replied in an uncertain tone: "Due south, well, I heard that it is a large water pool, which is eight hundred miles wide, but we generally go north, because it is Dingyuan City." The east and west sides are also crossed, and the south side is ...... It's really not familiar. ”
Jiang Wenlin let out an 'oh' and said, "I see." ”
Su Pinghai said beside him: "Mr. Jiang is a private school teacher, how can he also study geography?"
"Hahaha......" Jiang Wenlin smiled and said, "Why, if you don't study geography, you can't inquire about it?"
Su Lunguo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and glanced at Jiang Wenlin intentionally or unintentionally.
With Su Lunguo's strength at this time, he couldn't feel whether Jiang Wenlin was a martial artist or not, but he felt like a master.
It's a gut feeling!
A kind of intuition that is inherent in a warrior.
Moreover, the place where Jiang Wenlin inquired about it seemed to be the same as the things with noses and eyes that were rumored in the dart bureau, and they all mentioned due south.
And according to Su Lunguo's guess, the task given by Fu Hai after that is that it is possible to go due south.
Jiang Wenlin said: "A pool of water, well, I must have to take a look at it when I have time, I have never seen such a wide body of water, eight hundred miles! It must be very spectacular." ”
Su Lunguo was slightly silent.
At this time, Su Pinghai also said: "I want to go too!"
Jiang Wenlin said: "Okay! Then let's be together then, okay?"
"Not good!" Su Chengnian, who was standing next to the stove, let out a low voice from a distance.
"Grandpa, why is it bad?" asked Su Pinghai as he turned his head.
Su Chengnian said: "Here you have to go to the south, the road you have to take is the only road to the Black Wind Village, and you have to walk ten miles to see the water, not to mention the poisonous insects and beasts in the middle, there is still a foggy area there, and the people who go in have never come out." ”
Jiang Wenlin and Su Lunguo were stunned.
Even Su Lunguo didn't know, how could Su Chengnian know?
Jiang Wenlin hurriedly said: "Uncle, have you been there?"
Su Chengnian lit the fire, put water in the pot, and then walked back to the middle of the courtyard, sat down and said: "I went there once when I was young, and it was already nine deaths, not to mention now! ”
Jiang Wenlin was stunned and said, "When you were young, why did you go?"
Su Pinghai also asked, "Yes, grandpa, why did you go to that place?"
"That's because your grandmother is sick, I begged the whole Dingyuan Town, and there was no way, and finally I thought about going to that place to find a glimmer of life, because after my incident, no one mentioned the previous things anymore. Su Chengnian sighed.
"What about you?" Jiang Wenlin's curiosity rose.
Su Chengnian said: "When I was young, there was a living Bodhisattva living in the waters to the south, and whoever went to ask for medicine could get a pill that cured all diseases, but after I went, I found that this legend was a lie at all, and in that large area of water, there was indeed a small island, but there was no building at all. It's desolate. ”
"Then how did you come to live with nine deaths?" Jiang Wenlin said curiously.
Su Chengnian sighed and said: "The main thing is to enter that island, it is very difficult, there are too many undercurrents, people who don't understand water, if you go, you will die, when I was young, I had a lot of strength, much more powerful than ordinary people, so I came back to life, but ...... When I came back, I told the news to the others, but they didn't believe it, so they went to the island, and the people who went never came back. ”
Jiang Wenlin squinted his eyes, as if he was thinking about Su Chengnian's words, which were somewhat true.
Su Lunguo also looked at Su Chengnian, and always felt that after so many years, Su Chengnian seemed to have hidden something from him.
