Chapter 8: Give up

In June, the summer is approaching and the sun is burning.
These days, the days are extremely sweltering, the rivers are very dry, and the crops in the fields are running out. The whole city is only looking forward to a heavy rain. If this rain does not come, there may be a severe drought.
Li Jiumao came back to work from the ground, covered with sweat, and poured water on himself as soon as he came home, working hard in the hall.
"You dog-save some water!" Li Yamao poured a small glass of cold water for him.
"It's time for you to go in the afternoon." Li Jiumao drank those waters, wiped his mouth, and said to Li Yamao: "Take care of the dead dog."
"My aunt," Li Yamao said, "I can take a big Sunday today, you can hurry up to catch up, if we two can go to practice immortality, we won't have to suffer from this bird."
Li Jimao sighed, "It's easy to say."
There was no rain in January, and Fujian, Guangdong, and Guizhou were thousands of miles away. I don't know how many young children are like these two brothers. I am looking forward to passing the Shangling test by chance, and then I will break away from the world and live a fairy life.
Watching the sun go to the middle, Li Yamao said, "Let's go to Brother Lin for dinner."
Brother Lin's family naturally has no food, so they must bring them. For the past two months, this has been the case.
When they went, Lin Shu was practicing sword under the tree.
A three-foot poplar branch, obliquely pulling a sword flower. The two brothers watched outside the door for a long time, but they are only the basic five types of point, stab, chop, chop, and chop. There are no fresh sword tricks.
It's not that Lin Shu is unwilling to practice anything else. This little fool's body is really weak. After two months of eating and drinking on time, he didn't see any improvement. He would breathlessly dance a tree branch, let alone a complicated sword move. .
He was a little dizzy, and the plums and duck feathers came to find him, so he dropped the branch and went back to the room.
These two days, the two brothers often come to him, sometimes asking for something like Qi, acupoints, etc., and sometimes just come over to play-for the first time, someone will come to play for themselves.
In his last life, when he was six or seven years old, he saw that everyone had friends, and he was envious of it, and wanted to have a playmate or two together. It's just that, just stop thinking about it. He has been following Master since his memory-it is said that Master brought it from the orphanage. As for the old man who insists on wearing long robes and wearing robes in modern society, how can he successfully adopt the child? Lin Shu can't think of anything. So he always thought he was stolen from the orphanage by the old man.
After being stolen, at a very young age, he began to memorize swordsmanship, learn exercises, and those things his peers said ... he didn't understand it at all, he hadn't even seen it on TV. Therefore, he did not know how to talk to the people around him, nor did he know what to say. Children play together. Once a person has no friends at the beginning, he will not have it in the future.
Later, he graduated from elementary school. By junior high school, he could barely keep up with the pace of modern life, but he was already lonely to a certain extent and no longer wanted to contact people. After a long time, he had a very good ability to talk to himself. Others become dumb.
Here, the life in the village is simple and consistent, and the two brothers are very honest. They laughed in front of him all day and gradually became familiar. As long as they did not touch themselves close to each other, Lin Shu would be able to meet them. Being peaceful is nothing but a rare experience.
Continue to be peaceful for a few days, seeing the days of the Lingling trial.
The eldest mother sent the three to the village entrance, and said to Li Jiomao and Li Yamao, "You two are finished, you don't care what kind of old lady you are, don't lose the little ones!"
Li Yamao said with a smile: "Relax, mother, we will take him well!"
Lin Shu looked at this scene and thought about it, and he has not lost it. I don't know why he left the impression of being lost easily, a little dazed: "......"
Auntie cast her gaze on Lin Shu, and she was worried: "Look at it! It's like nothing else! Don't you just let go!"
"He listens!" Li Yamao excused him, "I just don't make expressions, so I look a little bit!"
The elder mother gave a "snack" and took a few more steps, and said to Lin Shu: "Follow me!"
Too close, Lin Shu was a little stiff and nodded silently.
The aunt was satisfied, waved her hand, and let them go.
Ning'an is a small county. It is only a dozen miles from the southern suburbs to the center of the city. They each ride a gray donkey and walk side by side on the dirt road. Lin Shu also brought in a bucket—this is the first mother who knows that he is not well For fear that he will be stunned by the big sun, specially added.
Lin Shu was walking by the donkey while watching the scenery by the road.
When I first entered the city, the streets and lanes were sparse on both sides, and the houses were low. They were all old wooden mud houses. They were not very prosperous. After passing through an archway, I saw the rather elegant official houses in the inner city. , Selling some fruit and fruit snacks, screaming one after another, quite interesting.
As soon as the test room was approaching, there was a lot of meaning, and the vocals were also very enthusiastic. The test room was actually an open space with dozens of squares and blue brick paving.
Over the black crowd, Lin Shu saw a very high bamboo pole standing in front of it, with a green cymbal hanging on it, and the words "Shangling Test" written on it. Participants took this bamboo pole as the center and sat on the floor.
Li Yamao: "It's also really good."
Li Jiomao nodded.
Lin Shu thinks so.
However, when almost everyone came, he felt that the perfunctory and simple nature of this place was not without reason—the whole Ning'an Prefecture did not know whether there were 5,000 people. One thousand people only came to the exams, for fear that all young people Everyone came here for luck. The Shangling Academy has only recruited a thousand people throughout the entire Nanxia year, and hundreds of thousands of people can participate in the Shangling Examination. If the venue is really carefully arranged, detailed assessments in reality are not easy.
Li Yamao did not know where to pull out a hemp rope, tied Lin Shu's wrist, tied the other end to his waist, and said, "If there will be many people, if you really lose, my mother is afraid to put I hang up and fight. "
When he was stunned three times, the noisy crowd calmed down, and he heard a vigorous and powerful voice from a distance: "Get up!"
Taking the bamboo pillar as the center, the bluestone slabs suddenly spread with a complex pattern of milky white patterns. After shaving, the light was bright.
Lin Shu's consciousness was suddenly pulled. After a moment of weightlessness, he opened his eyes and was already on a mountain mist-filled road. There was a stone on the roadside with the engraving "Shangling Dreamland".
He climbed up the steps, and after a few dozen steps turned around and turned a bend, the peaks and turns, and suddenly he reached the top of the mountain.
The top of the mountain was rising early in the morning, and the morning breeze was blowing. There was a phantom of a man with a very blue appearance in front of him.
Lin Shu sit quietly.
"Where is Daoyou's house?"
"Minzhou, Ning'an."
"What's your friend?"
"Lin Shu."
"How old is Daoyou this year?"
"fourteen."
"It's a hero."
Having said that, the man in blue continued: "Dao friends, please close your eyes."
Lin Shu closed his eyes.
"Men, please meditate."
Lin Shu meditates.
The man in blue smiled: "Poke and jump, Daoyou really obedient."
Lin Shu: "..."
The IQ of this examination system is quite high.
The author has something to say: Lin Shu: Hey.
