Nightfall Chapter 15: The man in the broken house

For practitioners, danger is often an opportunity. The greater the danger, the more likely it is to help them break through the border. Master Huang Yang encountered a horse thief in the Western Wilderness and became enlightened at the time of life and death. Thousands of swords advanced to the legendary realm of quietness, these are all proofs.

Leaving Chang'an City was naturally an adventure for Ning Que, but he had to come, and he also wanted to take this journey to truly master the characters.

The light of the lake and the colors of nature, the state of the world in the cabin, and the thoughts of forgetting to sleep and eat, made him a little faintly touched, but he was still unable to implement it in practice.

Two days and one night later, the passenger ship was moored at the pier in Nanjin. The people in the cabin carried the stench and carried their luggage to land, passed through the sharp yell of Nanjin hawkers, and disappeared into the crowd. not see.

Wang Jinglue was not by his side. Ning Que was carrying an iron sword on his back and carrying a box of iron arrows. It was natural inconvenience to enter the city. He left the official road and climbed the rare mountain peak, found a mountain stream, took a bath, and caught A yellow lamb was roasted and eaten, and then slept peacefully on the tree.

When he was a teenager many years ago, he was able to live freely in the Minshan Mountains with Sangsang on his back. What's more, now that he is so angry, he can kill a tiger by throwing a stone, which is very common for ordinary people. The difficult mountain life is not difficult for him, and he can live very comfortably.

Walking in the mountains and plains of the Southern Jin Dynasty, it didn't take long to see the outline of the distant city. Although it is not as majestic as Chang'an, it is also one of the top cities in the world.

Ning Que became a lot more cautious, modified his appearance, curbed his mind, and perfectly covered the snow-capped mountains with awe-inspiring energy before embarking on the official road.

He waited on the official road for a long time, looked for the convoy of the palace, quietly put the sword and arrows into the truck, and then followed the convoy into the city.

The reason for being so cautious is not because this is Linkang, the capital of the Southern Jin Dynasty. There are many masters in the city, and there are still formations attached to the walls, but because there is an aloof mountain not far from the capital of Southern Jin Dynasty.

The sword pavilion was in that mountain—Ning Que was very confident in his current realm strength, but he didn't think he could hold on to Liu Baijian for a moment.

Following the convoy into Linkang City, until a quiet place, he retrieved the iron sword and arrow from the truck. The whole process was simple, no one noticed.

According to the original plan, he was going to stay in Linkang City for two days, to feel the humanity and customs here, to see if it would help his practice, and then he left.

Since he was going back to Hongchen to find opportunities, he wanted to feel the breath and power of the world, and he naturally had to contact ordinary people, so he went directly to Dongcheng, just like Changan, Linkang Dongcheng also lived with the poorest people, and The poorest is the most common, because poverty is always the norm in the world.

Before entering Linkang East City, he made some mental preparations, but when he passed through the straight and rich royal street and entered the small lanes, he still found that his mental preparations were not sufficient— -He thought that he had lived in the East City of Chang'an for many years, and he had long been used to poverty. Linkang was the capital of the Southern Jin Dynasty, but he did not expect that the poverty here was still beyond his imagination.

The street is already very narrow, and the canopy built up by the residents occupies most of the area. It is extremely crowded. You need to avoid the protruding iron sheet when walking in it, and you must be careful not to be in the canopy. People spilled urine on the body, which is difficult for anyone.

Ning Que stepped on the old bricks in the sewage, struggling forward amidst the foul air and noisy scolding. Suddenly he smelled a greasy smell coming from the side, turned his head and looked around. A woman in ragged clothes was wiping the hot iron pan with a piece of meat in her hand.

Several little boys, shirtless and covered in mud, stood by the iron pan and waited, holding the broken bowl tightly with their little hands, with light in their eyes.

There was a sound of urine coming out of a toilet partitioned by an old cloth. After a while, the old cloth was lifted and a girl came out carrying her pants. There was no shyness on her face but annoyance. The little boys shouted: "Is this what you eat? Don't be greedy!!"

Ning Que looked at this scene, and after a moment of silence, he continued to walk deep into the dilapidated streets. He has seen pictures that are far darker than the sadness in front of him, only since he arrived in Weicheng. In fact, he has not experienced such a life for many years, at least he will never see these in Chang'an City.

He walked very slowly, because the streets were narrow and because he wanted to see more. He squatted not far from a well on the corner of the street, watching the women doing laundry, and found that they basically didn’t use soap powder. Even the laundry mallet placed next to him is rarely used, just rubbing it with his white hands.

The chattering noise sounded behind him. He got up and gave in. The girl I had seen before came over with a rice bowl. This bowl is relatively complete, the porcelain is still colored, and it contains white rice. It was covered with greens, and two pieces of oil residue could even be seen.

The little boys, who should be her brother, followed her excitedly, raising their arms to wipe their noses from time to time. They should be thinking that they should be able to grab a few mouthfuls from that job.

Ning Que thought for a while and followed.

In the deepest part of this dilapidated city, there is the most dilapidated house. The girl brought her brothers to the front of the house, only to find that the front of the house was surrounded by children like them, with rice bowls in her hands. .

The younger brother stood on tiptoe, looked at the rice bowl in the hands of other children, turned and shouted to her: "Sister, Zheng Lili's braised pork cooked at home! The braised pork cooked!"

The little boy's expression is extremely exaggerated, his hands dancing and dancing, his face is full of incredible shock, it is exactly like seeing the most absurd thing in the world.

Listening to her brother's return, the girl's face became very ugly. She pushed away from the crowd and squeezed in. She looked at a girl of the same age who was better dressed, and said loudly, "It's my turn to cook today!" >

Then she looked at the children holding their jobs in front of the ruined house, widening her eyes and said: "My house is my turn. Whoever dares to **** me, I will burn his house at night!" /

There are more than a dozen children who bring their rice bowls to deliver meals, some of them are obviously older than her. Hearing this, they show fear and step back subconsciously.

The girl her age was not afraid of her, and she took two steps forward.

The reason for this is that there are five thick braised pork in her rice bowl, so her face glows with pride, like braised pork, and said, "Just the few roots in your house. Cai Yezi, how can I make the teacher full? If the teacher is not full, how can he have the spirit to teach us?"

The girl’s younger brother whispered next to him: "Yes, sister, why don’t we let the teacher eat braised pork, shall we divide this bowl of white rice?"

The girl squeezed the little boy away with an elbow, and walked to the girl carrying the braised pork.

She is usually the most uncomfortable with this proud companion who relied on the seventh sister to marry a Mipu guy. At this time, looking at the cheap flower band tied on her head, she was even more annoyed and said, "Zheng Lili, you Shameless Hu Meizi, are you sending meals to the teacher or seduce a man?"

Zheng Lili's face was flushed with anger and she was not good at scolding. Her hands began to tremble, but she was afraid that the braised pork in the bowl would fall to the ground, and she did not dare to tear the girl's mouth.

The girl looked at her with a cold snort, raised her head and straightened her small breast, which was obviously underdeveloped, like a victorious hen, and walked towards the ruined house with cabbage rice. When she walked to the broken house, her expression suddenly became very submissive, and she whispered: "Teacher, the meal is here."

There was only a creak. The broken door of the broken house was pushed open from the inside. The sound made people feel that the door panel might fall off at any time.

A man walked out of the ruined house.

The man's eyebrows are extremely clear, he is wearing a thin collarless shirt, his dark hair is casually combed in a bun, and a chopstick is inserted on it, his expression is peaceful and natural.

He looked at the children outside the house with their rice bowls and looked at the hopeful expressions on the children’s faces. He couldn’t help but smile, and said, “Go back and tell your parents that you’d better take turns eating in advance. You still have to insist on this, then I have to leave here."

Listening to the man saying that he was leaving here, the children seemed to have heard the most terrible thing, and they quickly took back the rice bowl they had previously held high, not knowing what to do next. Naturally, all the children looked at Zheng Lili, because the rice delivered by her family...had braised pork.

The man smiled slightly, took the cabbage rice from the girl in front of the door, picked up the chopsticks by the window separated by the waste bricks, squatted at the door and started eating.

The girl stood beside him triumphantly, her little hand behind her, she looked very proud.

The man looked at the children and refused to go home, and said with a wry smile: "What are you still doing? I ate the food in his bowl as soon as possible, and classes will start in a little while."

Listening to this, the children looked at each other, and then cheered, knowing that the food in their hands is much better than usual, they have been greedy for a long time.

Only Zheng Lili did not eat her own bowl of rice. She walked up to the man, looked at him with tears and said, "Teacher, you can eat a piece of meat, you can eat a piece."

The man smiled helplessly, stretched out his chopsticks and put a piece of braised pork in her bowl.

Zheng Lili suddenly burst into laughter, and ran to the house with her rice bowl. Her family also had a younger brother who was so good to eat like braised pork, she didn't dare to secretly eat it herself.

The man smiled and said, "Class will be in a while."

"I won't forget the miles." Zheng Lili said with a smile, and she hopped off, the red hair band tied in her hair, flicked and cute.

The girl standing behind the man clutched the corners of her dress and pouted, a little envious, but she saw it when she went shopping in the market. The red hair band cost two cents, but she could not afford it. of.

The man glanced at her and said softly: "The teacher secretly bought it for you."

The girl smiled happily, and nodded.

……

……

Ning Que stood outside the crowd.

He looked at the ruined house, the children who came to deliver the food, and the man walking out of the ruined house, he was shocked.

He had seen this man, when the Hulan Sea was howling cold wind, countless powerful people gathered, even the big brother, can not completely conceal this man's brilliance.

Whether this man appeared in the Xiling Temple or Mozong Mountain Gate, the Secular Palace or Lan Ke Gu Temple, he was so proud, because he was a Taoist sect that walked Ye Su.

However, now hiding in the ruined house in Linkangdong City, he is so calm and ordinary, as if he has lived here for many years.

What happened?

At this moment, violent shouts and whips suddenly came from outside the crowd.

A priest walked to the old house under the protection of more than ten guards. The priest looked at Ye Su who was holding the rice bowl, and asked with a cold voice, "Who allowed you to teach here?"
