Chapter 2 I have come from afar to send off the deceased
Su Changan has been having a good time these days, he has gradually forgotten about the sword technique, after all, it was just a whim of a fourteen-year-old boy.
He didn't have many decent friends in Nagato, and he was fourteen years old, which was not too young. But he was very thin, and he looked only eleven or twelve years old. So the students of the academy didn't like to be with him very much, and of course Su Changan felt that he didn't like them either.
But Mo Tingyu is different, he is willing to chat seriously with Su Changan. That kind of chat made Su Changan feel that he had become a more mature person than his classmates in the academy.
Yes, all the little ones want to mature and grow up quickly. I thought that when I grew up, I could escape from the academy, I would no longer have to face my chattering parents, and I would be able to meet a beautiful girl, as if she had been waiting for you, somewhere in the future. Just get there, open your arms to her, smile and say, "I'm coming." "She'll drop everything and throw herself into your arms.
But in fact, when you grow up, you will find that the academy is actually a very good place, there is a girl you like, she has always been there, even if she never looks at you, but at least she will always be there, never left, never married. Although the parents are still chattering, they are young and strong enough to shield you from all the storm. But when you grow up, you have to face the world alone, it is beautiful and cruel, like a rose, bright but thorny.
But Su Changan doesn't understand this truth, at least the current Su Changan doesn't understand.
So he also aspires to grow up, especially at this moment.
He stood on the podium of the academy, and Mr. Wei looked at him solemnly with a ring ruler.
Ji Dao and Wang Hong in the audience were pointing at him, with mocking smiles in their eyes.
Momo still didn't look at him, and she didn't know what joke Gu Ning told again, which made her cover her mouth and chuckle.
Mr. Wei is very old, and the wrinkles on his face are as many and deep as the hills and ravines of Youyun Ridge. He also had gray hair, which was still unkempt like a weed, though he had done his best to comb it neatly. But even so, he was still the most learned person in the entire academy, and even in the entire Nagato Town. It is said that when he was young, Mr. Wei was also lifted by the people, which is a great thing in a small place like Nagato.
"Su Changan, can you explain why you didn't hand in the homework assigned by the academy for three consecutive days?" Mr. Wei's ring ruler tapped on the desk, and every time he knocked it, Su Changan's heart chuckled.
"I said I was busy saving people, do you believe me?" Su Changan tried his best to make his expression look sincere enough. But in exchange for the laughter of the students in the audience.
This world is divided into classes, from the imperial court officialdom to the academy in Nagato Town.
The seowon in Nagato is not a place where every child can go, and it requires a lot of money, and it is an expense that cannot be ignored for the average family.
Su Changan's father is a centurion in the military camp, and he is a big figure in a small place like Changmen. Ordinary people have to respectfully call him "military master" when they see Su's father. When he saw Su Changan, he had to call Second Master Su.
But in the academy, children have no class, but their parents have class, so children have class. Unfortunately, Su Changan is at the bottom. So in the academy, everyone no longer calls him Su Erye, but calls him Su Ergou.
And his rival in love, Gu Ning, who was talking and laughing with Momo at this time, was at the top of the pyramid. His father is the Taishou of Changmen Town, and in this kind of military town, there is no distinction between military and government, so Gu Ning's father is also the biggest boss of Su Changan's father.
It's not too pleasant.
But the most unhappy thing is that whether it is Gu Ning or Gu Ning's father Gu Xiangting, he is always gentle and jade, so people like him.
They are always so good, like the sun, so dazzling that you dare not look at them directly.
Su Changan couldn't find a reason to hate them.
This alone made Su Changan very frustrated.
"Hands!" Mr. Wei said.
Su Changan stretched out his hand very consciously, and Mr. Wei's ring ruler hit Su Changan's palm three times, and Su Changan felt very painful. But he had to pretend it didn't hurt, because Momo might be watching him.
So the reason for Su Chang'an's non-handing in his homework was added to another version in Nagato Academy.
Su Changan was telling the truth, even if many of the reasons he found before were false, but it was true once.
Su Changan felt that he had a clear conscience, but the pointing and pointing of his classmates still made him very uncomfortable.
The afternoon's schoolwork was finally over, and Su Changan finally ended his restless afternoon, and he fled from the academy like a fly.
Su Changan came to Wang's sister-in-law's restaurant, the store was not big, but it tasted very good.
Su Changan doesn't come often, because he doesn't have much money, but after all, there is a little.
Mo Tingyu's body is still very weak, but he wants to kill people. You can't kill anyone if you're so weak, but Mo Tingyu is his friend, so Su Changan thinks he should help him. It's all written like this in novels, and friends should take care of each other.
It's not dinner yet, and Wang's shop is empty, and her business usually doesn't get better until the patrol soldiers change shifts.
Sister-in-law Wang is a very ordinary woman, in her forties, and the rouge on her face can barely cover the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
"Sister-in-law Wang, bring me a roast duck. Su Changan knocked on the door and said to the sister-in-law who was still dozing.
"Hey, Chang'an, you're here. Buy your dad some more food and drinks?" Sister-in-law Wang got up, took the roast duck off the shelf, and put it on the cutting board.
"No, my dad hasn't come back yet. Su Changan shook his head and said.
"Oh, he's been there for almost half a month this time. Sister-in-law Wang used a knife to accurately cut the roast duck in half.
"Yes, it seems that the demon clan in the north has not been very peaceful recently, and it is difficult to make a big accident. Su Changan said.
"Then you'll have to ask your dad to be careful. Sister-in-law Wang's kitchen knife flew on the cutting board, and the roast duck had been divided into several portions as she spoke.
"Yes. Su Changan nodded, but thought in his heart, how could his father listen to his own words.
"Here you go, take it. A total of 60 cents. Sister-in-law Wang wrapped the roast duck in oiled paper and handed it to Su Changan.
Su Changan paid the money, thanked Sister-in-law Wang, and left the restaurant with the roast duck.
By this time, it was nearly evening, and light snow began to fall again in Nagato.
Sister-in-law Wang estimated that the patrolling soldiers were about to change shifts, and she was about to start Zhang Luo again.
She put the water in the pot and boiled.
When a diner comes, she can quickly serve a bowl of hot noodles, which are a bestseller on this snowy night.
Sting.
It was the sound of someone's boots breaking through the thin snow on the ground.
Changing shifts so early today? Sister-in-law Wang is a little strange.
"This military master, has changed shifts so early, what do you want to eat?" Sister-in-law Wang hurriedly came out of the kitchen and began to greet guests.
But to her surprise, the people who came were not soldiers who had changed shifts, nor were they frequent visitors in the past.
The person who came was a woman, with a very raw face, and she should not be a native of Nagato.
He is estimated to be eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in green clothes, wearing a white veil, his eyes are like autumn water, and he has a jade flute pinned to his waist. Though he came from a snowy night, there was not a single snowflake on his clothes.
There was a chill on her body, like a lotus on the Tianshan Mountain, unattainable.
"Do you have noodles?" the woman sat down casually in the shop.
"Yes, what kind of noodles do you want to eat?" replied Wang.
"Just have a bowl of clear noodles, not vinegar. "The girl's taste is as light as her person.
"Okay, sit down for a while, and I'll go make you noodles. ”
In a few moments, a bowl of hot noodles was served.
"You use it slowly. ”
"Thank you. The woman nodded and removed her veil.
Only then did Sister-in-law Wang see the woman's appearance, which was very beautiful, more beautiful than she imagined. The face is like a peach blossom, and the lips are red and the teeth are white. It's like snow on the mountains, springs in the ground, dust-free.
Sister-in-law Wang couldn't help but be a little jealous.
"The girl is not a local, is she?" The patrolling soldiers would not come in a while, and the sister-in-law had nothing to do, so she tried to make small talk with the woman.
"Yes. The woman replied.
"Nagato hasn't been very peaceful lately! You don't know the place here alone, so you have to be careful. "Sister-in-law Wang reminded with kindness that the land of the border fortress is already mixed, not to mention, the monsters in the north have been making trouble recently.
"Yes. Thank you sister for the reminder. The woman nodded, and ate the noodles unhurriedly. "I'll take notice. ”
"Do you have something to do with coming to Nagato? Are you going to seek refuge with relatives, or are you here to make a living?" Sister-in-law Wang felt that there must be something unspeakable about a girl who came to a place like Nagato alone.
"I'm here to give it away. The girl took the last sip of the soup.
"Someone I met a long time ago. ”
