Chapter 78 Meet for a short time and set off again
Oh...oh
The morning light pushed away the dark outline, the crowing of the rooster broke the silence of the morning, the mountain village gradually became noisy, and the busy farming work in autumn was not finished, so I carried the farm tools and took my family to the field.
In the fence courtyard, the wooden doors of the three rooms opened one after another. Lu Liangsheng, Lu Xiaoxian, and Sun Yingxian walked out, stretched their waists, walked to the edge of the water tank, picked up a bowl of water, took the branches and leaves, and dripped them between their lips for twenty or thirty times, took a sip of water, and wrapped them in their mouths.
“Gululu…”
Three faces were facing down and spit out with a spit.
In the kitchen, Li Jinhua had cooked breakfast. The three of them sat under the eaves with Lu Laoshi who had just gotten up and drank meat porridge.
Occasionally, Li Jinhua's voice came from the kitchen.
"Then you have finished any exam. Liangsheng, when do you see when will you get married?"
Lu Liangsheng almost squirted out a bite of porridge. The Taoist beside him looked at the room almost instinctively and looked at the cypress trees in the yard. Fortunately, there was no bleak wind.
"It's so dangerous, so dangerous, probably didn't hear it." He pinched the chopsticks and patted his chest.
Lu Liangsheng, who swallowed the rice porridge, hurriedly took a few more sips and stuffed the empty bowl into Li Jinhua's hand.
"It's still early. On February 2, the dragon raised its head and there is still a spring exam to take the exam."
After saying that, he pulled Sun Yingxian, who was still eating, and walked out. The latter quickly digged a few more mouthfuls, chewed with his cheeks, and turned around and waved to the woman.
Li Jinhua didn't give up and chased her out of the eaves and shouted to her son who had already gone outside the fence:
"Then you can take a concubine first. Your father and I are waiting to hold our grandson!"
Lu Liangsheng did not dare to respond and walked around the village with the Taoist. When he saw Lu Taigong who was basking in the sun on a crutch, he went up to see him and took his pulse to check the old man's body.
"Taigong, healthy."
The old man grinned his teeth, lay on the recliner, laughed a few times, and nodded slowly.
"...I can't tell that I'm still old, Liangsheng... how is the exam?"
The scholar put his hand back to his knees, leaning his pear stick to the position where the old man could get it. While reaching out to rub the Taigong on his calves, he used magic power to drive away some cold air, responding with a smile.
"It's okay... I probably won't embarrass the village. Grandpa, please sit for a while, I'll have to go to other places to see it."
Mr. Lu smiled and looked at the promising young man, raised his hand and waved it at him.
"Go, it's time for the dolls to come to school, so I'll watch them here..."
Seeing that as Lu Taigong was talking, his head began to peck at one stroke. Lu Liangsheng also knew that people were getting older and their spirits were getting worse day by day. They couldn't sleep at night, and they dozed off during the day. Sometimes they were talking to people, but they fell asleep the next second and didn't know.
"ha!"
"ha!"
When I walked to other places in the village, there was a sound of Lu Pan and others coming from afar. It was close to the cellar and the wealth of the village was hidden. Eight people were taught how to forge their bodies. They never stopped practicing every day, gathered together every day, and even felt shirtless in the middle of winter.
Lu Pan is the most powerful and agile among the eight people. In Lu Liangsheng's sight, he lifted up the stone lock of about 100 pounds with one hand and threw it two or three feet away.
This made Lu Liangsheng and the seven people there applaud.
"You can throw it away anyway." Sun Yingxian clenched his nose.
"That's different. They have never learned magic, nor have they practiced martial arts. It's not easy to have this strength."
Soon, the two walked towards Qixia Mountain behind the village. The red rope tied to the tree three years ago was still there, and they kept going up. When they saw the old pine, Lu Liangsheng stepped forward and bowed devoutly.
The Taoist lived in Lujia Village for a year and saw this tree. At the beginning of the period, he felt it was quite magical. After a long time, he didn't see anything.
He likes to stand on a rock near Laosong and watch the surging clouds in the surrounding mountains.
When the wind blows, the pine leaves rust with the branches.
Lu Liangsheng walked to the Taoist, looked at the sea of clouds, sat cross-legged, and the golden morning light shone on it, and the clouds and mist were surging as if real waves were sweeping.
"Every time you sit under this old pine and watch the clouds rise and fall, do you feel that practicing here is much smoother than usual?"
The Taoist picked up a stone and threw it out into the distance.
"I knew it a long time ago, people in practice pay attention to the blessings of the world. Although I have never seen this path before, it is not bad here."
"Well, if I can't become an official in the future, I'd just build a hut here at that time."
Lu Liangsheng suddenly laughed, stretched out his sleeve, drew a brush on the rock, grabbed the other hand and placed a pot of fine wine and two wine glasses in front of the Taoist.
Full of a cup and hand it to the other party.
"Watch the sunrise and the sea of clouds surging, how can you not have wine?"
The Taoist picked up the wine glass with a real feeling, took a sip, and a faint fragrance of wine appeared between his mouth and nose.
The sunlight rose to the clouds and shone over the golden old pine trees, and the spots fell on the big rocks. The two of them sat opposite each other and drank, watching the autumn mountains.
"Just play chess again."
"Don't think about it, there are too many chess pieces, how can I draw it?"
"Then bring a plate next time."
Lu Liangsheng nodded with a smile, looking at the towering old pine trees on one side, the dense gaps between the leaves, and the shimmering waves were shining.
This time, I returned home to solve the pain of missing my family when I went on a long trip, but after I came back, there were also things that made Lu Liangsheng laugh and cry.
My mother urged her to get married as soon as possible for several days. Even if she didn't get married first, she would at least take a concubine and give birth to the old Lu family.
However, Lu Liangsheng had no idea about this, and he was also confused about the relationship between men and women. Moreover, there was a jealous female ghost around him... In order to consider the girl, he politely rejected his mother's kindness.
"I was back happily, but now I'm afraid I can't stay..."
Lu Liangsheng heard his mother nagging about this outside again, put down his book, sat down on the bed, and looked at the toad Taoist wearing a short jacket.
"Master, you are a veteran. What advice do you have?"
The toad turned over lazyly, and the frog scratched his belly.
"How can those who are practicing Taoism know about this?"
His eyes turned over and he was holding a Taoist squatting in the corner of an unknown book. He noticed that his eyes were on his back. Sun Yingxian quickly turned around, closed the book quickly, and put it in his arms.
"See what I do, I haven't even seen a matchmaker..."
At this time, a quiet sentence came from the portrait on the wall: "It's better to leave quickly."
"It's probably all that."
At present, Lu Liangsheng had no other way. Another reason was that he had said he wanted to go to the northwest to see him. He passed by the capital to meet his mentor. The spring exam was on the second day of the second month next year. It was quite urgent to calculate the time.
After making up my mind, at the end of August, I waited for the county to report the good news and celebrated with the people in the village. That night, I proposed the idea of going to the capital with my parents.
"Why are you so anxious?" Li Jinhua stopped cleaning up the square table and sat down next to her son, "Or, wait a little longer and leave after the New Year."
'cough…'
Lu Laoshi coughed at the door, and Lu Liangsheng quickly waved his hand to his mother: "It's only a few months before the Spring Examination. I only know the direction in the capital. I don't know how to go. At that time, I will ask slowly along the way... I will meet my mentor and Lord Min when I arrive in the capital. It's really not enough...."
Li Jinhua also lost her son and was worried for the first time she went out far away. She just sighed and went to his room to help pack her bags.
As soon as the woman left, Lu Laoshi hurried in.
"When you leave, remember to take the old donkey away..."
Seeing Lu Liangsheng appearing puzzled, the man rubbed his palms embarrassedly, glanced outside the room, and lowered his voice.
"Take it away, I can change my teeth and lightly."
Well…
The scholar looked at his father's embarrassed expression and had to nod his head speechlessly.
September 1st.
The sky was high and the clouds were light, and Lu Liangsheng said goodbye to his parents, led the old donkey out of the village entrance, turned around and waved goodbye to the people who were seeing him off again.
On the side of the road, Sun Yingxian was waiting with the blade of grass. Two bookshelves hanging behind the donkey, the door of the small pavilion opened, and the toad Taoist in a small jacket was holding his legs, following the opera hummed on the other side, shaking his head.
The old donkey followed the scholar, briskly walking his hooves, excitedly whistling.
Hum ha ha ha ha...
In the mountains, the fields echo.
Chapter completed!
