Chapter 36 To Dali
September 13th, sunny and breezy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After Mu Xiaojiu went offline last night, he first slept comfortably in his bed, and then got up to go to the morning exercise, but unfortunately he didn't meet the old man who talked to him during the last morning exercise. After the morning exercise, I ate a long-lost breakfast made by myself, and threw out the take-out box, a historical problem that Hu Xiaoxian had made in the past few days. After getting some convenient meals and putting them in the refrigerator, Mu Xiaojiu went to the game again.
"Welcome to the world of martial arts."
It's sunny outside, and it's cloudless inside the game. Stopping the internal power that was running, Mu Xiaojiu walked out of the room and stretched his waist happily.
At this time, it was almost time to make an appointment with the grandson of the Sun family yesterday, Mu Xiaojiu put away his bags, locked the door tightly, and then walked towards the entrance of the village.
In fact, now he only has a wine gourd to give to Huang Ama in his bag, a silk scroll that records "Lingbo Weibu", and the secret book of "Folding Plum and Snow Sword". There were two sets of clothes, but one of them had been torn by him to bandage the farmer's wounds, and the other had been so tattered that he could not wear it during his fight with the horse thief.
Therefore, now that he is full, all he has left is the white robe on his body.
This fully verifies a truth - walking the rivers and lakes, you still have to bring a few more sets of clothes.
As for the silver? Don't make a fuss, in this world of rivers and lakes, sometimes even if you have money, you may not have a place to buy clothes.
However, speaking of silver, after doing the math, after arriving in Dali, you have to buy two sets of clothes, and you have to take a carriage to CD, these two things are a lot of silver.
Mu Xiaojiu finally had to admit an embarrassing thing - he had no money. Whether it's in reality or in the game, he has no money.
Alas, how do those heroes in the novel make money......
You can't be a robber or a snitch......
Or go and rob the rich and help the poor? By the way, save a little for yourself as extra money?
In this way, thinking about how to make money all the way, Mu Xiaojiu arrived at the entrance of the village after a while.
"Brother Mu, come here, I'll be waiting for you!"
Far away, Sun Xiaoya's crisp and cheerful voice like a lark woke Mu Xiaojiu up from his distraction.
Looking up, Sun Lao was dressed in a green shirt, smiling, and looking at Sun Xiaoya dotingly. Xiaoya wore a goose-yellow cardigan skirt, which looked even more delicate and cute.
Beside them, there was a carriage parked - of course, the one the horse was pulling was not a carriage, but a board made of wooden planks. If you change the horse in front of you, it will look like a real tricycle.
However, it is better than people to go faster, right?
After Mu Xiaojiu responded, he stopped thinking about those messy things, and strode over.
"I've seen Sun Lao." first saluted Elder Sun respectfully, and then went to stroke Xiao Yana's extremely beautiful hair.
"Oops! Brother Mu, don't get it, it took me a morning to braid my hair. Xiao Ya hurriedly protected her hair with one hand, and made a gesture to hit Mu Xiaojiu with the other hand.
"Hehe, okay, I won't get it, let's go, let's go up."
Looking at Mu Xiaojiu and Xiaoya's laughter, Sun Lao didn't think anything about it, in fact, he was still very open-minded, not to mention that Mu Xiaojiu, a young man, also made him quite fond of it, after all, not every player is willing to risk his life to protect an aboriginal village for free.
"Okay, let's get in the car, let's go, we won't be able to get to Dali City before dark." Sun Lao waved his hand and made a final decision.
"Uh, Old Sun, why don't you go and rest with Xiaoya in the back, I'll catch the car." Mu Xiaojiu looked at Sun Lao and said softly.
Sun Lao replied with a smile: "Xiao Jiu, will you catch the car?" I don't think you even know how to ride a horse, so let you drive, and we may run back to Wuliang Mountain. ”
Mu Xiaojiu smirked and didn't say anything more, after all, he really couldn't drive a car or ride a horse.
When he set out from Wuliang Mountain Town by himself before, it was actually quite boring along the way, but now with Xiaoya and Sun Lao's company, it is different.
"In the beginning of time, who preached it?
The top and bottom are not formed, why should they be tested?
Who can be the best?
Feng Yi is only like an image, how can he know it? ”
As the carriage moved forward on the official road, Mu Xiaojiu looked at the mountains and the clear blue sky on both sides, and couldn't help but chant loudly.
Sun Lao glanced at him in some surprise, and then happily closed:
"Light and darkness, but what is the time?
The triad of yin and yang, what is the origin and what is the transformation?
The circle is ninefold, which camp is the degree?
But what is the work, which is the first to do it? ”
Mu Xiaojiu was stunned for a moment, looked back at Sun Lao and said, "Hey, Sun Lao, it turns out that you also know about this day." ”
Sun Lao looked at him with a smile, "Of course, I also studied when I was young, and I once thought about gaining fame." It's you, I've met a few players, but none of them are as sensible, benevolent, and knowledgeable as you. ”
When Sun Lao praised like this, Mu Xiaojiu's face turned red at that time, and then he asked with some doubts: "Then how did you become a doctor later?" ”
Sun Xiaoya was listening to the two of them chatting next to her, a little panicked, and when she heard Mu Xiaojiu ask about it, she hurriedly said: "I know, I know, grandpa told me, I'll tell you!" ”
"I heard my grandfather say that back then, when my grandfather went to Beijing for the exam for the last time, my father was five years old. In fact, at that time, my grandfather didn't really want to go to the capital, but my grandmother told him that he had worked hard for so long, and he shouldn't just give up and persuade him to take the exam. ”
So, although grandpa was not very willing, he still packed his things and went to the capital.
"But then I fell off the list, and my grandmother passed away again, so my grandfather became a doctor."
Mu Xiaojiu originally listened to it with relish, but the more he listened to it, the more he felt wrong, and at this time, he saw Xiaoya stop and asked a little puzzled: "This is gone?" ”
Xiaoya nodded solemnly.
Sun Lao was driving the car in front of him, and said with a light smile: "Actually, when I went to Beijing to catch the exam, the reason why I failed was because I always had some bad premonitions in my heart. But if you have arrived in the capital, how can you just leave? So I sent a letter to my family, hoping to get a reply and find out about the situation at home. ”
"However, until I took the exam, I never received a reply from my family, and I was anxious, my performance was abnormal, and I finally fell off the list."
"But I didn't care about that much at the time, and after the exam, I hurried home, but unfortunately it was a step too late. It turned out that not long after I left, my inner son became seriously ill, and some neighbors wanted to tell me about it, but she stopped her, saying that she didn't want to distract me. ”
"Then, less than half a month before I returned, she died and abandoned me."
"I was disheartened, I no longer had the idea of going to Beijing to take the exam, and I also extinguished the last bit of success in my heart, and decided to study medicine instead, become a doctor, treat diseases and save people, and try to save others from experiencing things like me again."
Sun Lao's tone was indifferent, as if he was telling someone else's story, but Mu Xiaojiu clearly saw a trace of remembrance from his side face.
Arching his hand at Sun Lao, Mu Xiaojiu said apologetically: "I didn't expect Sun Lao to have such an experience, which aroused Sun Lao's sadness, and it was the kid who was reckless." ”
Sun Lao waved his hand, signaling that he was out of the way.
Mu Xiaojiu originally wanted to ask about Xiaoya's parents, but now he was embarrassed to speak again. It was Sun Lao, after looking back at him, he seemed to see through what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Do you still want to ask Xiaoya about her parents?" ”
Mu Xiaojiu nodded a little embarrassedly, "It's really a little curious." ”
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, my son, that is, Xiaoya's father Sun Qi is now an official in the capital, Xiaoya should have followed them, but Xiaoya has liked to stick to my old man since she was a child, and I don't want Xiaoya to be managed by them as the kind of so-called lady who doesn't go out of the door and doesn't step out of the door, so I took Xiaoya with me."
"Then, won't Xiaoya's parents mind?"
"Poof" Xiaoya couldn't hold back, and accidentally laughed, "My father is most afraid of grandpa, I still remember when I was a child, when grandpa also lived with us." At that time, it was really true, grandpa asked his father to go east, but he didn't dare to go west; Grandpa asked Daddy to catch the dog, and he didn't dare to steal the chicken. Grandpa glared casually, and Dad would be so frightened that he didn't dare to take a mouthful. ”
Looking at Xiaoya's proud appearance, Mu Xiaojiu pinched her face with a smile and said, "You said that about your father." ”
Xiaoya raised her hand and slapped away Mu Xiaojiu's hand pinching her face, stuck out her tongue at him, and then rubbed to Sun Lao's side, and lay down against Sun Lao.
Sun Lao listened to the sound of two people frolicking in the back, and smiled "ho-ho".
Because the time of departure was relatively early, and the road was smooth, there was no delay in the trip, so soon after the sun set, that is, about the time of the hour, the three of them had already arrived at the city of Dali.
However, Mu Xiaojiu was a little strange, because the owner of the restaurant told him that starting from the town, if you count the time to rest at night, it will take at least two days to arrive in Dali City, but now it seems that this time is obviously wrong.
Later, after Sun Lao told him what happened, he understood. It turned out that it was not the restaurant owner who lied to him, but the shopkeeper saw that he was an outsider, so he deliberately said that the time was a little longer, so as not to let him go to Dali City at that time, but blame the old version. And generally speaking, all outsiders will inevitably stop on the road, look at the scenery, and will not rush too much time. In this way, two days is actually just right.
After being checked by the guards, the three of them entered the city, because it was dark all night, Sun Lao did not go directly to his old friend, but took Mu Xiaojiu and Xiaoya to find an inn in the city and stayed first.
