Chapter 700: Small town

The room seemed extremely quiet, with less laughter and no noise. Bing Zhixie woke up and just lay on the bed like this. He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, as if there was something missing in his heart, empty and very disappointed.
"Go, go well, didn't I always want her to go, why is it so empty in my heart?" Bing Zhixie said to himself.
There was a spider hanging from the ceiling. The wooden cabin was decorated very rough. The ceiling was made of round logs with thick arms. The texture of the trees and the small holes of the insect pillars were all exposed. The spider dangled from above in sections to less than 50 centimeters above Bing Zhixie's forehead. The breeze blowing in from the small window swayed in front of him, as if it might fall off all the time.
Bing Zhixie didn't want the fluffy spider to fall on his face. He blew a breath, the spider silk broke, and the spider rolled down on the floor and shrank into a ball and played dead. Any animal has the instinct to protect itself, even from ants to flying dragons, they all use their surrounding environment and their own abilities to protect themselves.
From the age of 8 to 11, it only took him more than three years to become a sorcerer, but from the age of 11 to the present, he was only a sorcerer. Regardless of the improvement of strength, the later the improvement will be slower, but this slow progress makes him feel that something is wrong.
Of course he also thought that maybe this is not a problem. Many people have not been able to become wizards in their entire lives. He just stayed for a few years at this stage. This is something that all wizards will encounter. But he always felt that since he hadn't had the guidance of his master, he seemed to have completely lost his direction, as if standing in a world of ice and snow, not knowing which way to go.
He suddenly realized that he was an immature child at all. Without guidance, he would not know where he was going. This kind of confusion even made him lose confidence in himself. But this kind of negative emotions just passed away in his mind. He has experienced too many setbacks and too many disadvantages. What the master taught him is to exercise his point. Think about the days when I was studying with the master, most of the time I was alone in a forest full of dangers. At that time he felt the same despair, the same loss, the same fear, and even lost the courage to live. Then I got used to staying in that kind of despair, and I even gradually realized that my situation was not that disadvantaged.
What now?
The confused eyes gradually became clear, and he remembered what the master had said before he left. Everything depends on yourself, no matter what difficulties you encounter, only you can overcome it.
I don't know how long it has passed. Bing Zhixie felt that when he woke up it was more than 8 o'clock. At that time, looking out of the window, the sun had just climbed the top of the mountain. But now he can't see the sun anymore, maybe it's past 10:11. Suddenly he felt that he wanted to make it easier. There was no toilet in the house, so he had to walk outside hard.
Walking outdoors was shining by the sun, and the body was full of comfort. Although the body was still bandaged, people felt more energetic under the shining of the sun.
This is a small town. The houses of every family in the town are loosely built. The surrounding hills and hills have not been leveled off. The wooden houses rented by Bing Zhixie are on the hills on the edge of the town.
Bing Zhixie in the small woods behind the wooden house. Although it was daytime, no one would see it here. He turned out from behind the wooden house and suddenly didn't want to go back to the house. He thought of going around town and eating something, he felt that he could eat some liquid food.
Along the mountain path, Bing Zhixie floated to the only street in the town. It was really lively here. Although there were not many people, there were always people coming and going on the street. These people walked on the street and greeted each other. Those familiar with each other would stop to laugh and chat with each other. Some of them were carrying hares and green vegetables in their hands, and some were wrapped in oil paper bags with two long loaves, maybe It’s for sandwiches. Most of them are women in the town, and it will be almost noon and lunch in two hours.
People passing by also looked at Bing Zhixie from time to time, and it was rare to see such a badly injured person in their town. Bing Zhixie did not care about their gaze, floating on the street. The left side of the street is mostly the shops facing the street, and the right side is the front yard of the residents. He saw a wooden fence nailed to the front yard of a family on the right, with an arrow marked on it, saying ‘30m small bean sprouts restaurant ahead’.
Bing Zhixie walked forward. During this time, he passed a bakery, a school set up by a church, and a blacksmith shop. The owner of the blacksmith shop was still braving the sun and beating the iron ingots to burn red. sword. Walking to a position of about 30 meters, Bing Zhixie saw a small mill. There was a small door next to the mill. A small wooden sign was inserted across the door. The small wooden sign was still swinging back and forth because of the people who had just closed the door and entered. The wooden sign is not very old, and the words on it are very clear, "Little Bean Sprouts Restaurant", that's it.
Pushing open the door, the small copper bell hanging on the door made a sound of "bells, bells, bells," and the shop owner shouted: "Welcome." But instead of looking up, he wiped the cup with a white cloth at the counter.
At this time, an 18 or 9-year-old girl ran over. She was taken aback when she saw Bing Zhixie's appearance, but immediately smiled again: "Please come with me." She took Bing Zhixie to her seat, and then Asked: "What do you want to eat?"
This girl may be the daughter of the shop owner or his employee. Bing Zhixie said: "I want to drink something like porridge, do you have it?"
"Yes, what kind of porridge do you want?" the girl asked again.
Bing Zhixie said: "Don't have anything too hard in it, don't have anything too exciting."
The girl said: "Then let's porridge with shrimp and preserved egg."
Bing Zhixie said: "I want a glass of water. First, I'm a bit thirsty."
The girl smiled and said, "Would you like a bowl of sweet wine?"
"sweet wine?"
"The specialty snacks here are not all wine. They should be regarded as a kind of sweet soup. It relieves cold and thirst. It will be very comfortable to drink."
Bing Zhixie thought for a while and nodded: "Yeah."
The sweet wine came up quickly, and Bing Zhixie took a sip, and it was as cool and sweet as she said, and there was a little alcoholic taste, and it was very refreshing to drink. A small bowl of sweet wine was quickly drunk, and Bing Zhixie felt that it was not enough, so he asked for another bowl.
After eating a small bowl of porridge, he felt more comfortable in his stomach, and called the girl to checkout, which cost less than 12 silver coins. But the girl wondered if he could come up with the money. He didn't have a pocket on top of his body, they were all wrapped in strips of white cloth.
Of course Bing Zhixie would not come out to eat without money. He touched his body, and finally pulled out a gold coin from behind the cloth strip on his stomach.
The girl took the gold coins with a grin, because she thought the way he looked for money was really interesting.
After taking the money he found, Bing Zhixie did not leave immediately. He was able to sit in the small shop for a while. There were not many customers in the shop at this time, except for him, only two tables were eating.
The girl was busy for a while and had nothing to do, so she sat next to Bing Zhixie and wanted to chat with him. This small town does not always have foreigners staying here. Those who are used to staying in the countryside are curious about the outside world.
But Bing Zhixie didn't want to talk too much, just said nothing. The girl also felt bored, so she took the rag and left.
After sitting for a while, Bing Zhixie left the shop. When he came out, he was catching up with the church school. A large group of children rushed out, and some of them almost ran into Bing Zhixie in a hurry. However, these little ghosts were very agile, and one of them slid past him sideways. Children are always full of energy, especially after all morning classes, they are most excited.
Life in a small town may be that simple, just as simple as these kids. After class every day, they hurried back to eat their mother's meal, and then played with their friends. There are not many entertainment facilities here, but every piece of land and every hill here is a place for them to play. They chased, played, digging for insects in the mountains, and fished in the stream. Sometimes a few little boys would fight on the ground because of a little dispute, but after the fight, they happily ate sweets together.
The tree grew tall, with green leaves, dry and old branches, and a caterpillar fell on his heels. He imagined that he might also have such a childhood...
