Chapter 2 Parting
There are no secrets in the small village, the news that the stone is about to participate in the recruitment of disciples of the Qingyue Immortal Master spread quickly, and the villagers were taken aback, they didn't expect that the stone that was thin and could be blown down by a gust of wind could actually go to the immortal master as a disciple, and I don't know which ancestral tomb of the old Zhang family emitted green smoke?
After the surprise, everyone talked about it, and they didn't know if such a weak body of the stone could be chosen.
It didn't take long for the stone hunters and Han blacksmiths who had some ways to win a place through their respective relationships, and the village chief would lead the three children to Qingyue Mountain together.
This surprised Father Shi, and was very unhappy, and whispered in private: "These two deflated calves are really ghostly, why can our sons go where and their sons can go with them?"
When the villagers heard the news, they exploded, and they all said that the three treasures of the bluestone in the village had been fighting for a lifetime, and no one was convinced of anyone. Who knows that the Han family and the Shi family are not ambiguous! They have actually won the quota, how will the three families deal with it, there will be a good show!
So the villagers rushed to Zhang's house in a hurry, obviously to celebrate the joy, but in fact they were in the mood of watching the excitement.
"Third Brother Zhang, your stone is really promising, I see that he is studying every day to do great things. What, in the future, Shi will become a disciple of the immortal master, but don't forget us! This basket of eggs must be accepted by the sister-in-law, it is our heart. ”
"Brother Shi, don't forget my brother, this is the bud I planted, you can take it with you on the road to eat!"
"Stinky boy, look at your stone brother, who is three years younger than you! He has already gone to be a disciple of the immortal master, what about you? You can't even plant the land well, why don't you hurry up and learn from him? Third brother Zhang, you can accept this basket of jujubes and make up for the child's body. ”
"Stone damn, double happiness is coming! The pretty girl of the fourth king in the village has fallen in love with your stone, why don't you ask them to get engaged first, and then wait for the stone to choose a disciple of the immortal master, and then come back to do the happy event?"
......
The villagers gathered in the courtyard of the stone house, like magpies on the old trees in the east of the village, congratulating and making friends. But although the words are beautiful, the eyes are not very right, looking left and right, as if waiting for something to happen. Especially when it fell on Zhang Di, it was even more suspicious that could not be concealed.
Father and Mother Shi didn't see anything wrong, and when the villagers came to congratulate sincerely, at this time, their faces were full of red light, and they were busy greeting and returning the gift.
Stone is introverted and shy, embarrassed in front of so many people, blushing and following his parents to return the salute one by one, his eyes flashing with excitement and pride.
Just when he was making a commotion, he suddenly heard a young man sneering and said loudly: "Everyone disperse, the stone will definitely not be chosen, you hold him at this time, and you will be driven home by the immortal master when you turn around, where do you let the face of Uncle Zhang's family go?"
The villagers roared and turned their heads to look, and someone shouted excitedly: "It's Shi Jian, haha, the show is coming!"
Father Shi didn't know what was happening, so he hurriedly looked at it, and saw that the person who spoke was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was born tall and big, like an iron tower standing in front of him, and it was Shi Jian, the son of the stone hunter in the village. Although he was born on the same day, the same month, and the same day as the stone, he looked two years older, he always looked down on the stone, and he was bullied on weekdays.
Seeing that it was him who came, Father Shi chuckled in his heart, "What is he doing here?" Turning his face to look at the villagers again, they all looked at their children with a playful face, but their eyes were full of appreciation when they looked at Shi Jian, and they suddenly understood that they dared to love that these good neighbors were not really here to congratulate, but they came to see our jokes, and their faces changed suddenly.
Shi's red little face turned white all of a sudden, and he looked at Shi Jian with hostility, he couldn't forget how this guy bullied him on weekdays, either calling himself a waste, or stretching out a finger to compete with himself, and letting himself drill his crotch if he lost, it was so annoying!
Without waiting for Father Shi to speak, at this time, Shi Jian's father, a bearded man, walked out of the crowd and shouted to Shi Jian: "Why is the stinky boy talking to your Uncle Zhang?" turned around and smiled at Father Shi: "My kid can't speak, Zhang San, don't take it to heart, but your kid is weak, not as strong as my kid, if you really can't choose, don't be too sad." ”
"You ......"
Seeing that the third brother was so angry that he couldn't speak, the second uncle was well-informed after all, and snorted beside him: "Shi Laosi, why do you say such things? Although my stone does not know martial arts, he is outstanding in literature, and he is one of the best smart children in the village, and the immortal master will definitely value it!"
At this time, a big fat man flashed out on the side, and a little fat man with a round face beside him, looked around left and right and said loudly: "All the villagers come to evaluate the theory, the immortal master must choose a disciple must be strong, and he must be able to farm, martial arts, and iron." My little fat family has learned to play iron with me since he was a child, and now it is not a problem to play an iron sword, and Brother Shi's son-in-law has outstanding martial arts. But what will Zhang San's children ......?"
Squinting at the stone, he sneered, "...... Look at his body and bones, is he good at farming? Studying, hehe...... As for the stone carvings, hahaha...... It's even more ridiculous, I haven't heard that the immortal master wants to recruit stonemasons, what do you want to do with the stones?
It turned out that this person was a Han blacksmith in the village, and he had a close relationship with the stone hunters, and when he came out to say this kind of thing at this time, he should have got the benefits of the stone hunters and came to help.
The villagers nodded again and again when they heard this, and they all felt that although Han Blacksmith's words were mean, they made a lot of sense, so they discussed: "That's it, if the stone goes, it will only waste a place in vain, so it is better to give it to someone with greater hope, so that if one more teenager is selected in the village, he can also be regarded by Qingyue Immortal Master!"
Stone is stubborn, hearing such sarcastic words, and then seeing everyone's disdainful and suspicious eyes, his little face turned white, and he was so angry that he clenched his fists, and he couldn't wait to rush up and beat this big fat man a few times, even if he couldn't beat it, he had to go up. But Daddy didn't speak, and he couldn't rush out without permission, so he could only stare at Shi Jian and Han Baobao fiercely with his eyes, and his small chest fell together, feeling so aggrieved.
Shi Jian and Han Baobao followed their father, looking left and right triumphantly, not taking Zhang Di in their eyes, coupled with the cynicism of their neighbors, Zhang Di was even more aggrieved with tears in his eyes, and he could only hold back desperately.
Seeing this scene, Shi Niang felt sorry for her son's humiliation, and tears flowed out at once, and she lifted her clothes and wiped her eyes.
"Third brother. As soon as the second uncle saw that everyone was bullying him, he knew that the old Zhang family would not come up with some hard ones, so he would completely let the neighbors look at him, so he stepped forward and stood side by side beside the stone father, and was about to say something hard.
"Okay, okay, you guys have discussed it!" Father Shi suddenly shouted, and the sound shook in all directions, and the scene was suddenly silent.
He blushed his face, stretched out his hand to protect his son, pointed at Shi Han and shouted: "You two listen well! My stone will definitely be selected, he is not a waste, he is the smartest child in the world!" Speaking of the anger, he picked up the hammer carved in the stone in the yard, waved it and shouted: "Today I will leave this piece of talk, if the stone can't be chosen, I will gouge my own eyeballs! Get out! Get out of here!"
The villagers exclaimed, look at Zhang Laosan is crazy like this, the hammer may not fall on whose head, in the end, the villagers are really fighting, it is not good-looking, and they are in chaos for a while, and they all say goodbye and leave.
The stone hunter and the Han blacksmith came to humiliate the Zhang family, and when the goal was achieved, they led their respective children away with a sneer, as if to say, "Let's see, see whose child can be chosen?"
Father Shi glared at the backs of the two angrily, and after a while, he stomped his foot heavily, still angry, turned to look at the stone and said: "Son, have you seen it?"
Shi nodded, feeling very sad, feeling that he had disgraced his family, and it was the first time he experienced what it means to be in the hot and cold world at a young age.
Then the mother and the second uncle said something but did not hear clearly, only remembered that the mother put a bag of things into her arms with tears, and the second uncle touched his head and smiled at him with tears, his eyes full of encouragement.
He couldn't speak, but he was desperately shouting in his heart: "Dad, mother, second uncle, don't worry, I will definitely be selected, and I will never disgrace you!"
...... Half an hour later, when Zhang Shi took the donkey cart driven by the village chief, greeted the morning glow with Shi Jian and Han Baobao, and headed towards Qingyue Mountain, he looked back and saw that his father, mother, and second uncle had stood at the door of the house for a long time, watching him leave.
Until it shrunk into a small black dot, it still didn't go back.
When he left home for the first time, he was reluctant and sad, and he couldn't help but turn his head and face the corner of the carriage, tears raining down.
At the same time, the second uncle spread out his palm, and there was a little monkey carved from white pine wood, vivid, with a smile on his face, and his expression looked like the second uncle, which was given to him by the stone at parting.
It turned out that this was the last gift that the stone left for the second uncle and his parents, and I hope they will not forget themselves.
"This little rabbit cub really has a heart!" The second uncle couldn't help laughing, and showed the little monkey to the stone parents, and they couldn't help laughing.
But after laughing, the three of them looked at each other speechless for a long time, and they didn't know what the result would be when the stone went up the mountain? If you don't choose the disciple of the immortal master, you will naturally be laughed at by the whole village, and the old Zhang family will never be able to raise their heads in the village from now on; if they are selected, they will see each other again on the day of visiting relatives in half a year.
Thinking of these, the three of them were worried in their hearts.
What the stone didn't know was that he had embarked on a road of cultivating immortals separated by immortals, and his family members who were haunted by his dreams were unforgettable and unforgettable.
