Hidden Blade Chapter 136: Yesterday and tomorrow

Of course the world is big, but the boy can't tell how big it is.

But Da Zhou is a big place for the boy, because he has never walked out of Da Zhou, um...in fact, he has never even walked out of Xuzhou, which is located in the east of Da Zhou. And this made him realize how big the world really is.

However, unlike many teenagers his age, the boy does not have any desire to fight the sword and the white horse. He lives in a small town only a hundred miles away from Tiandou City. His father went early, relying on his mother to pull him up. Although Da Zhou is not a chaotic world, there is still a big gap from the so-called prosperous age. It is not easy for a woman to pull a child by herself.

So, survival is the most important thing for boys. He has no such ambitions, but if he really has any desires...

That might be about the pastry shop located on the most prosperous street in the town.

Qianwenqian is not considered an expensive expense. This is true for most people. Even ordinary families can spend such a sum of money to give to their younger generations or to satisfy themselves occasionally. The desire to speak.

But the boy obviously does not belong to this majority.

He understands the hardships of his mother very well, and he also understands that Qiwenqian is nothing to most people, but for his mother, it is something that can only be obtained by washing three or four buckets of clothes on his own. .

Therefore, he would not make such a request to his mother, but deep down he wanted to taste the sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

Because he didn’t know when, he often saw a girl at the door of that store. She always came in the evening, bought a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and ate it while walking. A beautiful smile appeared. The boy thought, that must be the best food in the world, that's why such a girl can show such a beautiful smile.

From then on, the boy would come out of this store every night, hiding in an unobtrusive corner, waiting for the girl to arrive, watching her walk into the store, and looking satisfied After eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake with a smile. It seems that such a boy can also share some such happiness from the girl's smile, which is what he looks forward to most every day.

Life is still going on. The boy hopes that he can grow up sooner, can share the burden of his mother, and he can walk into the pastry shop with his own skill earlier and buy a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake like that. .

He is very sensible and competitive. In the Tiandou City recruitment every three years, the boy who is only three months old until he is 16 years old is valued by the nobles in Tiandou City and recruited into Tiandou City. If he can After three months of training, you can officially become a member of the Tiandou Army Reserve. That is an errand that can get at least eight taels of silver every month, which is enough to change the fate of the boy and his mother.

The boy naturally had no reason to refuse, so he put down the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and the girl, and happily went to Tiandou City.

In these three months, he had a very hard time. It is not easy for a child who has never practiced kendo to excel among countless people of his age who are mostly from extraordinary backgrounds in three months. But the boy did it anyway. He was successfully selected into the reserve of the Heaven Dou Army three months later, and in this process, apart from his mother who worked hard every day at home, the most was about the girl and the portion he had never eaten. Sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

After waiting for the first resettlement fee, the boy also ushered in a five-day holiday. He hurried back to the small town without stopping with this heavy silver. The first thing he did was When he came to that shop, he bought an osmanthus cake. He wanted to take the osmanthus cake home and share it with his mother. He wanted to tell his mother: "My son is prosperous, and you don't have to be so tired again. "

With such thoughts, he rushed to buy the last osmanthus cake before the store closed, and then he thought about buying some more food. After so many years of poverty, his family’s meals are usually noodles and buns. , Or porridge with pickles, only during the New Year, the mother will buy some meat, now he has the money, he naturally has to prepare a large table of delicious meals for his mother, thinking about him The sweet-scented osmanthus cake was about to step forward, but a figure suddenly appeared in front of him at that time.

She leaned her head up, revealing her white jade-like neck, her purple pupils with arrogance and a little unintentional domineering, she looked at him and said: "Give me sweet-scented osmanthus cake, this money is you That's it."

This is a good opportunity. For the boy, he holds the money that can change the fate of his mother in his arms, and holds the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hands, standing in front of him and peeping for several years. Girl. As if all the luck had come to him at that time, he was in a trance as if he had fallen into a dream.

He was finally able to look directly at the girl in front of him, so he looked at it seriously, and a smile unconsciously evoked at the corner of his mouth.

"If it's not enough, I still have it." The girl's voice sounded again.

The boy finally came back to his senses, he could probably guess what happened, and he could understand why the girl found him. Over the years, she has come here every day to buy a sweet-scented osmanthus cake, but I don’t know why she is late today, but obviously, every day a sweet-scented osmanthus cake is an extremely important thing for a girl, just like a boy every day I will come here to watch the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in secret.

He understood her mood, so he lifted the sweet-scented osmanthus cake into the girl's arms without thinking about it, and said, "I give it to you."

Then the boy left contentedly at the center of the girl's stunned eyes.

......

Of course he still wants to say more to girls, but in his long life, he has never had such experience with girls, he will inevitably be a little drummer in his heart, plus an eager desire to go home Sharing all this with his mother, so he temporarily let go of this idea-after all, girls come here every day, and he has time to prepare for the next encounter.

But in fact, there are many things in this world that were unexpected. When he returned to his dilapidated but warm home, he called out to his mother, carrying all kinds of meat in his hands, But there was silence in the door and no one responded to his shout. He frowned, thinking that maybe his mother is still working as a helper somewhere. After all, this is not a rare thing for a boy. A woman who wants to pull a child by herself requires effort. A lot more than ordinary people.

So although he was a little disappointed, he couldn’t share his joy with his mother at the first time, but he didn’t think too much about it. He was about to open the door of the room, thinking about it, waiting for his mother to come back, but before he The sound apparently attracted the attention of the neighbors. An old woman tremblingly walked out of the room on the side and looked at the boy in front of her and said: "Achen is back?"

The boy recognizes this woman, an old man with a very kind heart, and he hasn't helped their mother and son less in recent years. He smiled slightly, took some silver coins from his arms and handed them to the woman's hands, saying: "Grandma Luo, I'm back."

The woman who was stuffed into a heavy silver pair was stunned, a little puzzled, but even more panicked. The boy didn't realize he was there, he only thought that the other party was surprised by the huge amount of money. Therefore, he smiled slightly and said: "Thank you for your mother-in-law's help these years. The money is considered to be Achen's filial piety to you. In these few days, I guess I will have to take A-niang to Heaven Dou City. Mother-in-law must take care of her body. Dekong Achen will definitely come back to see you."

The news that the boy was selected into Heaven Dou City is not a secret among the neighbors, and his awareness of saying this at the moment obviously passed the Heaven Dou City test and became a member of the Heaven Dou Army reserve. Such an achievement is considered a step up to the sky for these ordinary people. The old woman was also trembling slightly at that time, she sighed: "That's good, Ah Chen has a lot of prospects, has a lot of prospects."

This was very exciting and joyful at first, but at the end it turned into a sigh. Her eyes were a little red, and there seemed to be tears rolling in her muddy eyes.

The boy was a little slower and didn't notice the old man’s abnormality. He just said he was happy for himself. He was about to say something, but the next sentence of the old woman made him stand still. .

"In this way, Alian's spirit in the sky can rest in peace."

......

Alian is his mother's name, and his mother is dead.

The fact that her mother passed away on the eighth day when he went to Tiandou City, this was not a sudden event. The long-term accumulation of labor has already become ill in her mother’s body, but she just killed it. She kept on concealing her son until his son was recruited into Heaven Dou City. The breath that had been held in her heart suddenly relaxed, and the whole person stepped forward at that time.

But while she was dying, the people who dragged the old woman begged her not to

Tell her son about this. She knows she can’t stand it for long, and her son will have a long time to come. He needs to seize this opportunity, otherwise she can’t rest assured that she will have a few months left. The son who can grow up lives alone in this world.

Poor parents in the world, the old woman also has children and grandchildren. She understood a woman’s mood, so she could only comply with her request and bought a not-so-good coffin with her little money. The woman was buried next to the tomb of her man who died early.

The boy took the whole night to accept this sudden bad news. The next day he went out alone, first kneeling in front of the old woman’s door and banging his head for 16 times. After all, she helped him take care of his mother. In the future, from the boy's point of view, the old woman's kind deeds are worthy of such feedback. Then he took out the resettlement fee he got, secretly placed half of it in the old woman’s house, and went to the city to find the best craftsman to carve the tombstone for his mother and father who died early. Doing something to appease the dead should be a cutscene.

These things he chose were the best things in the city. Although he didn't really believe in the underworld, his mother hadn't enjoyed a day of blessing during his lifetime, and he didn't do anything. His heart was really uneasy.

In this way, he spent the five-day holiday given to him by Tiandou City in front of his parents' grave, and then he said goodbye to his parents and returned to Tiandou City again. He knew that his mother wanted him to live well, and he had to be worthy of his mother's wishes, and he had to be worthy of his mother's hard work over the past sixteen years.

So he worked harder during the one year when he returned to Tiandou City. He believed that if there was a soul, his mother would definitely see it. And he did get the reward he deserved. Tiandou City’s Jian Xianyue Fuyao valued him and accepted him as a closed disciple. For a while, he was in the limelight. On the same day of the second year, he obtained Master’s permission. , Go back to the town, pay homage to your parents.

Before setting off, he went to the best pastry shop in Tiandou City and bought an osmanthus cake.

......

"He said he thought he might meet me again, so it was a gift specially prepared for me."

The bonfire in the camp burned, and Gui Bodhi stopped the story in her mouth. She turned to look at Xu Han and asked: "This is the second time I met your **** uncle. After handing me the sweet-scented osmanthus cake The story he told me."

"Do you think there is such a fool in this world? Secretly watching a girl eating sweet-scented osmanthus cake, it's ten years..."

Faced with Gui Bodhi’s question, Xu Han shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don’t think Uncle is like someone who can make up such a story~IndoMTL.com~Is it?" Gui Bodhi looked at it meaningfully. Xu Han glanced at it and said in the same meaningful way: "But you can't look at appearances. Maybe your uncle is such an **** who is honest on the surface but full of thoughts in his heart?"

Xu Han shrugged again, and said casually: "But I think the teacher at that time should have believed."

Gui Bodhi gave Xu Han a blank look: "Nonsense, otherwise how could I fall in love with that bastard."

Xu Han is also used to the word "bastard" when the teacher mentioned Mo Chenzi. He was about to say something more.

But suddenly the look on Gui Bodhi's face was stagnant, and he sighed again: "But after all, I don't know if the story is true or false, so..."

"I want to see him again and listen to him give me an answer...you say, is it possible?"

Gui Bodhi's tone became deeper at that time, and a cold breath suddenly spread, hovering in the camp.

Xu Han raised his head alertly, and Gui Bodhi’s gaze fell on him at this moment. There was a cold and ferocious taste in that gaze, and under such a thing there was a touch of determination like iron. Resoluteness——She probably guessed Xu Han’s intentions, she wanted to tell him, it’s useless, she has made such a decision, she can only go on like this, even if there is an abyss in front of her, she can only go on ...

Xu Han also read the determination in her eyes, and he also sighed deeply.

"Senior's mind, I understand..."

"The promise made by the heavenly man is not credible, and the teacher knows that she wants to come, but she is not willing to give up the last hope..."

"Sister Niang fights for yesterday, I fight for tomorrow."

"I don't know if I will lose, but I understand that people who live yesterday can never win."
