Chapter 49: The Purpose of Practice
The three teenagers in the inn sat on one side each.
Lin Qing looked at the young man in front of him, his face full of surprise. Although I found that this young man's cultivation was not low before, he didn't expect that he was so talented.
Tianze Academy only accepts dozens of disciples a year, and the talent that can be entered naturally goes without saying. Lin Qing was also interested in this young man at the moment, and secretly thought to himself that sure enough, there were endless young talents in the heavenly kingdom, and his family would have to work harder in the future.
Yan Hong also changed the face of the young man, but the impression of a scoundrel in his eyes still remained. Although he is highly talented, he is not a decent person after all.
Ren Cheng saw that Yan Hong and Lin Qing were not so prejudiced against themselves, and they also let go a lot at the moment.
"I used to think that he was bored in Tianze Academy, but today I was fortunate enough to meet two of them, so I suddenly became interested in that academy." Ren Cheng's words are also straightforward.
Yan Hong glanced at the other party: "Young Master Ren still thinks about it himself, don't be bored by then, come to me and the two." I didn't say I was going to take you to the hospital with me. ”
Yan Hong also hopes that this kind of gentleman can enter the academy and have a good experience, which is better than staying in the city and harming the people. But the ugly words still have to be said in front, he is not very familiar with this young man after all.
"That's nature! It was all my own volition, and it had nothing to do with the two of you. Ren Cheng said.
"Then tomorrow, I will order the family to come and pick up the two of them and go to Tianze Courtyard together."
Yan Hong made a push-hand gesture and said: "This is not necessary, we can go by ourselves", after all, I am not very familiar with the other party, so I don't want to get too close.
Ren Cheng saw Yan Hong's prevarication and explained: "You came from other places, and you are not familiar with the road. It's just a matter of the way, I hope Brother Yan won't shirk it again. ”
Yan Hong glanced at Lin Qing, Lin Qing didn't have any opinions, so Yan Hong reluctantly agreed.
Ren Cheng saw Yan Hong agree, and immediately smiled happily.
"See you two tomorrow!" Ren Cheng got up and said goodbye to Lin Qing and Yan Hong.
Yan Hong was still so lukewarm and said, "It's good to go, don't send it!" ”
……
……
The sun was born, and a richly decorated carriage was parked downstairs at the inn.
The innkeeper came up to report and said, "Renfu's carriage came to pick up a young man surnamed Lin and a young man surnamed Yan." ”
Lin Qing and Yan Hong packed up their things and went downstairs to see a young man who looked like a scholar. The scholar also recognized Lin Qing, so he walked up and took Lin Qing's things. Lin Qing was a little unaccustomed to it, and the other party pulled it and saw that Lin Qing didn't let go, so he gave up.
The carriage is in the form of Tianze Avenue, and the speed is not slow.
There are a lot of people in the morning market, and there are also a lot of horse-drawn carriages coming and going. On both sides of the street, there is an endless stream of pedestrians and merchants, and the traffic is busy.
Yan Hong and Lin Qing opened the curtain from time to time to look out, and this was the first time they saw the prosperity here.
The scholar glanced at the two of them, and then they also withdrew their eyes and smiled at the scholar. The scholar didn't joke that the two hadn't seen the world, and maybe they didn't dare.
Halfway through, the atmosphere in the car was a little awkward, and Yan Hong opened her mouth to talk to the scholar.
Only then did Yan Hong know that Ren Chao's father was an official in the DPRK and China, and he was still in charge of money, no wonder Ren Cheng was counting in hundreds of taels when he opened his mouth.
Lin Qing didn't feel any of this, he only cared about cultivation, and he didn't have any expression when he listened to the conversation between the two.
However, when Yan Hong heard what the scholar said, she didn't look surprised.
The scholar told Yan Hong that his young master was not as stubborn as they saw, and he treated his subordinates very well on weekdays.
Yan Hong just nodded and didn't speak, after all, seeing is believing. And what happened to Ren Cheng had nothing to do with him.
After some more travel, the carriage stopped outside the door of a mansion.
Lin Qing and Yan Hong got out of the carriage and saw a huge mansion door. There is a huge plaque hanging on the gate, and the plaque reads "Renfu" two golden characters.
Yan Hong smacked his tongue, not a loss is an official in charge of money, this card is different.
The scholar invited the two into the mansion, Yan Hong was a little timid, so she told them to wait outside, so the scholar entered the mansion alone.
A moment later, a voice was heard from inside the house.
Ren Cheng was very happy to see Lin Qing and Yan Hong, Ren Cheng just carried a small burden, and a few family members followed behind him with large and small burdens.
After a while, a few more people came out of the house, and Ren Cheng greeted him.
"Grandma, Daddy, Auntie, these two are my friends! They went with me to Tenze-in! Ren Cheng pointed to the two teenagers and said.
Lin Qing and Yan Hong made a fuss at the people who came, but Lin Qing was not afraid of people, and his face was calm. It's just that Yan Hong is not used to this kind of scene, and she seems a little restrained.
Ren Jun saw the two teenagers and said, "Why don't you invite people to your house!" Hearing that the two teenagers were also students of Tianze Academy, Ren Jun was also very polite.
Ren Cheng was in a hurry to leave now, and with a fuss, he pulled Lin Qing and Yan Hong into the car.
The family in the back didn't know what to do, so Ren Cheng didn't let him load it into the car. He is going to practice, and if he brings too many things, he will definitely be laughed at and enjoy happiness.
But Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Ren were afraid that their son would suffer, and they didn't think they would bring much.
A few family members helplessly stayed in place, not advancing or retreating.
Ren Cheng told the coachman to leave quickly, as if to escape from the land of right and wrong. The coachman raised the horsewhip, and Yan Hong felt much more relieved when she heard the sound of the horsewhip.
Ren Cheng poked out his head and shouted in the direction of his house: "Grandma, Daddy, Auntie, go back!" Go back! ”
The old lady was helpless, and when she saw that her grandson didn't bring anything, she was so angry that she stomped her feet.
……
……
The carriage drove out of the distance, and Yan Hong breathed a sigh of relief.
Ren Cheng smirked vigorously when he got into the carriage, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Yan Hong looked at Ren Chengdao with a resentful look on his face: "Your father is an official, why didn't he tell us in advance." Yan Hong felt that Ren Cheng was deliberately pretending to be low-key.
Ren Cheng looked helpless, he didn't know how to answer Yan Hong. Because what kind of family background he thinks he has is not his own choice. And he was also used to this identity, and he didn't feel how special.
However, it was obvious to Yan Hong, especially since they came to a place like Tiandu from a small county town. These rich kids like to pretend a little, and he thinks Ren Cheng is the same.
Yan Hong didn't have much of a good impression of Ren Cheng originally, but after this episode, it made it even worse. It's not that Yan Hong is jealous of wealth, he just hates those playboys who are inconsistent.
But where did Ren Cheng know so much, although he also found that Yan Hong's emotions were wrong, but he didn't know that Yan Hong was caused by himself.
Lin Qing began to meditate and concentrate soon after getting into the car, after all, the distance is still long, and he can always find something to do when he is bored.
Yan Hong and Lin Qing sat on one side, and Ren Cheng sat alone on one side. Ren Cheng glanced at the two from time to time, wanting to say something, but he didn't speak.
Yan Hong found the other party's eyes, "Ask whatever you want!" Yan Hong didn't make a sound.
Ren Cheng then grinned and said, "Did you encounter any interesting things along the way?" ”
Yan Hong originally thought that the other party would ask some serious questions, but she didn't think that the other party couldn't bear to be bored and wanted to find something fun.
"Although we are prosperous in the sky, we will be bored after staying for a long time. Hello guys, you can move around! Ren Cheng added.
Yan Hong's tone was flat: "I haven't encountered any fun things, but I have encountered a lot of life-losing things!" ”
Yan Hong didn't lie, and she was very serious when she said this. Whether it was in Yubei County or in Wuguan Town, they almost died, although in the end even they didn't know how to survive.
When Ren Cheng heard Yan Hong's words, he became even more interested. On this day, not to mention the loss of life, even a fight is rare.
"Really? Tell me about it! Ren Cheng stared at Yan Hong with a strange face and said!
If life and death are regarded as child's play, it is bound to be disrespectful to those who have experienced life and death. Unless the other party is the kind of old man who has been on the battlefield for a long time, he will take life and death very lightly.
And Ren Cheng obviously didn't think about it so much, and he didn't know what Yan Hong and Lin Qing had experienced.
If Yan Hong could still endure it before, but at this time, Ren Cheng had already touched Yan Hong's bottom line.
Yan Hong stared at Ren Cheng fiercely and shouted, "Do you think dead people are a fun thing?" Yan Hong thought of the old innkeeper, and her emotions were out of control.
Ren Cheng didn't know what Yan Hong's sudden outburst was, and he really didn't know what they had experienced. In his world, there has never been food and clothing. He had never faced danger, let alone life or death.
Lin Qing also slowly opened his eyes, he patted Yan Hong's shoulder, and then shook his head at Ren Cheng, signaling him not to annoy Yan Hong.
Ren Cheng had to bow his head and remain silent. He felt that Yan Hong's feelings were very fragile and he was easily angry. Ever since I met him, I've been like this.
There was silence in the car.
The carriage headed north.
Yan Hong leaned in the car and fell asleep in the shaking, Lin Qing sat next to Ren Cheng, and the two teenagers glanced at each other.
Lin Qing told Ren Cheng about his experience with Yan Hong in Yubei County, as well as his experience in Wuguan Town. Lin Qing told him that the innocent old man had lost his life in the end because of their arrival.
Ren Cheng was silent after listening to it, he didn't expect that these stories, which could only be heard in the mouth of the storyteller in the teahouse, actually happened to his friends.
Lin Qing told him why he wanted to cultivate, only when he became stronger could he stay with the people he wanted to protect. He also knew that maybe Ren Cheng couldn't understand this feeling, and he was willing to go to Tianze Academy to practice, just for fun.
But Ren Cheng silently remembered what Lin Qing said, and he felt that the young man in front of him, who was similar to himself, was far more mature than himself.
Perhaps before that, he would have treated his practice as child's play.
But from then on, he had another purpose of cultivation, and he wanted to learn from the young man in front of him.
If one day, he met someone who needed his own protection, he thought that he would be like Lin Qing, resolutely stand up, even if he used his body to block the danger.
Ren Cheng looked at the blue sky outside the window and smiled to himself.
