Chapter 2: The World Is So Big
At sunset, a somewhat hunchbacked figure appeared on the bluestone street in the sunset, and Tang Ning immediately jumped down from the fence and shouted, "Qingbo! ”
When he got closer, he saw that Qing Bo was carrying a bow behind him and a string of tied prey, Qing Bo smiled: "Today's luck is good, and the harvest is not small!" ”
Qing Bo is actually Tang Ning's old servant, Tang Ning's mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to Tang Ning, and Qing Bo pulled him up. For Tang Ning, although the two are master and servant, they are actually relatives.
Qingbo skillfully cleaned up the wild things, and Tang Ning began to work in the kitchen. The two depend on each other, but they are not so particular, compared to Qingbo's craftsmanship Tang Ning is undoubtedly much better, so Tang Ning, who is older, insists on cooking.
A plate of mapo tofu, a pot of wild mountain mushroom stewed game, a pot of sake, the sky will be dark but not dark, and the two of them will sit down in the courtyard to drink it is also very delicious.
There is no saying here that teenagers are not allowed to drink, so Tang Ning can also have a few drinks, and Qingbo naturally won't care. However, Downing has always been restrained and never drank too much, but today he is cup after cup.
"Young master, but do you have something on your mind? Do you like a girl from any family? Qing Bo was a little puzzled and said, "Speaking of which, Shen Yatou is really a good girl, but she is much older than you, as for Miss Cuihua。。。。。。 ”
Why did you mention Cuihua Girl again, before she finished speaking, Tang Ning had already waved her hand and said, "Don't, don't, it's innocent!" That's not the case! ”
"Not? Didn't the young master shout every day that he wanted to marry Shen Yatou and come back to eat tofu? Qingbo quipped with a smile.
Tang Ning blushed a little and said, "I was joking with Sister Shen!" Actually, I listened to the chatter of two headhunters today, and suddenly realized that the world is so big. ”
Qing Bo was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Yes, this world is indeed very big and exciting!" ”
Tang Ning Zhengse said: "Qingbo, I want to leave Aoki Town and walk around and see the scenery!" ”
Qing Bo was stunned when he heard this, a little relieved and a little emotional, and sighed: "The young master has grown up!" People say that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, it's time to go out and have a look! Back then, the young lady was determined to go all over the world, but unfortunately, alas! ”
Tang Ning couldn't help but ask, "Where was my mother's first destination?" ”
Qingbo put away his memories and said with a smile: "The first destination, of course, is to go to Beijing!" ”
Tang Ning said excitedly: "Okay, then why don't you go to Beijing at the first stop!" In fact, he has long heard of the prosperity of Shangjing, especially the Liufang River, which is a place of drunken gold fans and beauties, and it is even more famous all over the world.
Qingbo took a sip of sake after listening to it, and said with some complications: "Shangjing, I really haven't set foot in it for more than ten years!" ”
After the excitement, Tang Ning suddenly calmed down, and said with some worry: "Uncle Qing, are we entangled in it?" You have to be entangled when you go out! ”
Uncle Qing smiled and said: "There are still entanglements, or the young lady left them, and they haven't been used all these years, and I am still thinking about keeping them for the young master to marry his daughter-in-law!" ”
It's not in a hurry to marry a daughter-in-law, it's good to have entanglement, but Tang Ning suddenly thought of a question, although Aoki Town is very peaceful, but I heard that there is a sword pavilion and a temple and a big war outside, it doesn't seem to be peaceful.
Tang Ning asked a little nervously: "Uncle Qing, with your old man's skills, how many masters are you in the rivers and lakes?" ”
Qing Bo said leisurely: "When I was in the prime of life, I could be regarded as a third-rate master, but now that I am old, my qi and blood are declining, and I am afraid that I can't even count myself as a third-rate master!" ”
Tang Ning listened and folded his fingers and began to count, those big masters with a few grades don't talk about it, there should be no masters on the rivers and lakes.
Qingbo is not a third-rate now, so he is not even more so, but those green forest heroes who want to rob the road should be third-rate at most, right?
"Uncle Qing, Uncle Qing, now that the world is not peaceful, will we encounter a robbery?" Tang Ning asked with some concern.
Qing Bo laughed when he heard this: "Young master, the world is quite peaceful today, but anyone who has some ability has gone to seek wealth and wealth, even if there is a robbery, it will not be able to get on the table, don't worry!" ”
There is entanglement, there is no danger, Tang Ning said happily: "That's really good, Uncle Qing, let's set off to Beijing tomorrow, right?" ”
Qing Bo nodded and smiled: "Okay, listen to the young master." ”
Although the master and servant have lived in Aoki Town for more than ten years, they have no relatives and no reason, and there is nothing to clean up at home, so it is easy to say that they want to leave, pack up a change of clothes, and take the coiled to go on the road.
The next day, the master and servant really packed up, clothes, bows and arrows, knives, dry food, and Tang Ning even moved a pot and stuffed it in the carriage. An old horse in front of the door finally came in handy, and it was bought when Downing was practicing riding and archery.
The master and servant locked the firewood door, and Tang Ning looked at the small courtyard where he had lived for more than ten years, and he was really a little reluctant, reluctant to give up the peace here, and reluctant to give up Sister Shen's tofu.
A group of bear children hula came running, and they still wanted to come and beg Tang Ning to tell a story. Seeing that Tang Ning looked like he was going to go far away, he suddenly asked, "Tang Ning, Tang Ning, where are you going?" Going far away? When will you be back? ”
Tang Ning jumped into the carriage and said with a smile: "The world is so big, I want to go and see it!" So, goodbye! ”
The bear children were stunned when they heard this, what does this mean? The world is so big, what's your business? They were very reluctant in their hearts, and said gossipingly: "Tang Ning, Tang Ning, it's dangerous outside, what are you going to see?" How nice would it be to stay in Aoki? It's a big deal, we won't grab the emerald flowers with you! ”
Tang Ning flipped his hand and pulled out a simple long knife from the carriage, and said loudly: "With a long knife in hand, where in the world can you go?" Don't worry! I went! ”
Although Tang Ning didn't have much confidence in his heart when he said this, this group of bear children believed it, because they all knew that Tang Ning was very good at fighting, and he could easily knock them all down with one hand.
Qing Bo raised the horsewhip and gently landed on the old horse, and the carriage creaked and ran forward through the bluestone street. The group of bear children put away their frolicking appearance, watched the carriage drift away with some frustration, and shouted, "Tang Ning, will you come back?" ”
Tang Ning got up and stood on the carriage, beckoning and smiling and replied, "Yes, I will definitely come back!" ”
