Chapter 29: the twenty-ninth

Lu Xiao was carefully tucking his hand at the fur collar, and suddenly he paused.
After a while, Lu Xiao said, "What do you mean?"
"I'm leaving." Qiu Yutong was really guilty, but he couldn't help but repeated it with a scalp.
Before he ascended, he promised Lu Xiao that he should always be with him, praying for the rain and snow for the Dachen Dynasty, and blessing the folk style and rain ... but he failed to do so.
Now, not long after he came back, he was leaving again.
Lu Xiao was silent, and one hand squeezed the expensive black fur collar involuntarily, and the green tendons of the back of the hand flared.
Qiu Yutong saw him silent, and explained: "Xiao'er, I'm not going back when I'm gone. I just want to go to Yaowangzhuang for medical treatment. This body has a congenital deficiency, and I was hit by the Division of Prudential Penalty ..."
He glanced at the other person's expression, and he couldn't bear to continue.
Lu Xiao's thin lips trembled a little, making it hard to speak: "I ..."
Qiu Yutong looked at him like that, and he could n’t really say,
In fact, at that time, I was still poisoned by cold
, and could only barely comfort:
I want to come now, there are many things that I did wrong, such as To hide from you, such as breaking the night rain ... Xiaoer, you do n’t have to blame yourself too much. "
Lu Xiao lowered her eyelashes, and after a long time, she said dumbly: "How much pain?"
Qiu Yutong was stunned for a while, and then realized that Lu Xiao was referring to the matter of the board, so he said casually: "Uh, okay, not particularly painful."
Actually, it really hurts. However, as a sword repair representative of absolute force, it was too embarrassing to scream at the ground after a few hits. Besides, there is no need to make this little apprentice feel more guilty.
Lu Xiao whispered: "You're lying to me again."
"..." Qiu Yutong was a little speechless, sadly and hurriedly left on the 80 board, and he had to painstakingly comfort the gangster who beat him.
What do you want him to do!
But looking at the appearance of Landing Xiao, he really couldn't catch fire, and could only explain it patiently: "It was just a little pain at first, but then by chance, this body psychic suddenly opened, and it didn't hurt much. It ’s a blessing because of misfortune. "
"Have you got through the wit?" Lu Xiao raised his head violently. "Can you practice again?"
"Well, it's hard to predict that everything is going to be a blessing and a blessing. The so-called blessings depend on the blessing, the blessings fall on the blessing.
Lu Xiao murmured: "Everything in the world, has its own cause and effect ..."
Qiu Yutong paused and said, "Originally, I thought that this body could not be awakened, and I could only go back to Shuoxuecheng to reshape the body. That would be called a pain. Now this body has opened a psychic, and After finishing a period of sin and cause and effect, I only need to go to Yaowangzhuang Yijing to wash the marrow and wash away the dirt inside the body for many years.
You can also treat cold poison by the way.
Lu Xiao stared at him blankly.
Qiu Yutong could n’t help raising his hand and gently touched the little apprentice ’s hair, comforting softly:
However, even if I want to prove the avenue again, it will take a long time, and it wo n’t fly up soon. "
Why is this kid so tall? ! It's so tiring to raise my arms.
"Huh." Lu Xiao lowered her head gently.
...
Qiu Yutong barely picked up a pair of chopsticks tofu, put it in his mouth, could not help but secretly sighed.
This dish is still salty.
In front of this big table dinner, four meats and four vegetarians, milky fish lips, flower drum duck feet, peach kernel chicken, hydrangea scallops, lotus tofu, freshly ground cabbage ... there is no one dish that can be imported.
Lu Xiao, did you accidentally knock over the salt shaker? !
"..." Qiu Yutong pursed his lips, feeling a little vomiting.
He glanced at Lu Xiao next to him, still barely swallowing the salty tofu in his mouth.
After Qiu Yutong swallowed the tofu, he quickly drank his tea, diluted the salty taste in his mouth, and cleared his throat a little, before saying: "Xiao'er, I will definitely come back after washing my marrow. It took two hundred years to get soaring. This time, I should be able to stay with you for a long time. "
Accompany you to complete your personal life.
"For a long time?" Lu Xiao whispered, seeming to understand Qiu Yutong's meaning.
All his life, but only his whole life.
The life of a mortal man without spirit roots is fleeting in just a few decades.
But it was a little ripple in the life of the mighty monk.
Lu Xiao was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "I heard that the years of cultivation are long, and many monks will have fellow practitioners who practice together."
He paused for a moment before reluctantly continuing to say: "Master, will you have ... Dao Lu in the future?"
"Dao Lu?" Qiu Yutong froze.
After he reacted, he couldn't help but secretly laugh. How dare Lu Xiao worry that if he finds a buddy, he will ignore him as a little apprentice?
Dao Lu, indeed many monks will find one. After all, monks have a long life and occasionally feel lonely, and some practice methods, double practice can also increase the speed of practice, such as-Fengyue Road.
It's just that Qiuyu Tongxiu is Kendo, and most of the sword repairs are very weak, and he has never considered the matter of Dao Lu.
Qiu Yutong didn't answer for a long time, Lu Xiao suddenly couldn't bear it, suddenly raised his head, and the black phoenix eyes looked straight at him: "Master, have you ever thought of finding an escort?"
Qiu Yutong hesitated: "I haven't thought about it yet."
"Not yet? That will be in the future?" Lu Xiao stared at him tightly, staring at him.
Qiu Yutong could n’t help crying:
Why, I ’m afraid I ’m going to find you a master? I ’m just reborn now, and I have to wash the marrow of the I Ching. I do n’t have time to think about the messy things. And came back to become Chen Chaoguo's teacher.
Lu Xiao was silent for a long time before he responded gently: "Well."
...
In the next few days, Lu Xiao's words were much less, and his mood seemed to be in a bad mood.
Qiu Yutong pondered that the "Ice Silkworm Bi Xue Gu" in his body would not happen for a while, and the Jingjing had no need to worry about it. Moreover, when the Lantern Festival was in Zuixianlou, the young master of the medicine Wangzhuang It was also said that the wedding banquet of Yaowangzhuang was in March. When I went there early, I did not meet Brother Three, and without the recommendation of Brother Three, the owner of Yaowangzhuang might not be willing to help him.
Otherwise, stay in Daning Palace for another period of time, and by the way coax Lu Xiao.
Now that he has made up his mind, Qiu Yutong will try his best to accompany the landing boat, admire the snow, play chess, dance sword ... but he always can't help thinking about Yaowangzhuang, always Absent-minded.
For Qiu Yutong's absent-mindedness, Lu Xiao also saw it in his eyes, just after some previous conversation, he didn't say much.
In a blink of an eye, it was the end of February.
The winter snow gradually melted, and the wicker near the lake spit out fresh green, and it was the spring of another year.
"Chirp ..." This morning, a gentle swallow whispered outside the window, Qiu Yutong woke up, and smelled the sweet fragrance of osmanthus cake,
He sniffed his nose: "Xiao'er?"
The room was quiet and no one answered.
"... Xiao'er?"
Qiu Yutong propped himself up indifferently, and rubbed his eyes again, only to find that there was breakfast on the table, and there was a baggage beside him, which looked a little dark.
Qiu Yutong froze for a moment, turned over and got out of bed, and picked up the thing.
This is a very delicate black jade token. It is half the size of a palm. It is heavy in its hand, and it is carved with the complicated pattern of Jiulongzhuzhu.
This Moyu token was on Longmen Street a few days ago, he had seen Lu Xiao take it out, and the head of the 1,000 households of Jin Wuwei immediately changed his face when he saw the token, and respected him to the extreme.
Qiu Yutong realized something, blinked, and opened the burden next to it. Inside the bag are two sets of clothes, a large box of osmanthus cake, a stack of thick silver tickets, and a packet of gold leaves.
"This kid." Qiu Yutong lowered his burden and couldn't help sighing.
It seemed that Lu Xiao finally wanted to understand and was willing to let himself go.
Qiu Yutong looked down at the things in his bag, and his mood was very complicated. He was slightly relieved, but he was a little melancholy.
The apprentice grew up and no longer depends on him.
It seems that a young eagle can finally fly to the sky with its own wings, and his 200-year-old eagle can only guard the empty nest alone, miserable and miserable.
Going to him, what the are you thinking about! Qiu Yutong couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.
After thinking for a moment, he took out the tortoise shell under the pillow and put it in his bag, and left Lu Xiao with a letter stating that after washing his marrow, he would definitely come back.
...
Qiu Yutong took the piece of Jiulong Moyu token left by Lu Xiao, and it was unimpeded along the way. He quickly left Daning Palace and out of Beijing.
Carrying a small burden, he walked lightly on the suburban path, his stomach suddenly "gurgled" loudly.
This body is hungry again.
Qiu Yutong touched his stomach helplessly. He does not dig the valley now, and his body is very squeamish. He ca n’t miss three meals a day, but the whole city is full of large fields of farmland.
The box of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in the baggage, he had already finished.
Qiu Yutong stood on tiptoe and looked around. I saw some farmland in the distance, and now it was just spring, and there were only sprouts of green seedlings in the field, and there was no fruit to pick.
"Alas, there's nothing ..." He shook his head, barely enduring hunger, and continued to walk forward listlessly.
He walked for a long time, the sky gradually darkened, and the distant mountains gradually shrouded in a misty dark color.
At this moment, a farmer woman approached from afar, carrying a basket of crispy pears of yellow, orange and orange.
Qiu Yutong's eyes lit up and hurriedly greeted: "That elder sister, please stay away. Can you sell me a few crisp pears? Well, I have here ... well, there is this."
He turned over his baggage, intuition that the stack of five thousand and two silver exchange notes seemed to have a larger denomination, and he handed out a small piece of thin gold leaves.
The peasant woman looked at the golden leaves he handed, startled, and hesitated not to accept them: "Is this gold? Really fake?"
"Naturally is true."
The peasant woman looked at him up and down and saw that he didn't seem to be a liar, but rather a silly rich son, and said: "I don't dare to collect gold, if it's gold. I have a basket of pears at most ..."
After hesitating, she glanced at Qiu Yutong again and gritted her teeth to report: "That's three or two silver."
Qiu Yutong was thirsty and hungry, eager to eat pears, and squeezed the golden leaves into the hands of the peasant woman: "Hold it. I just ... well, five crisp pears."
He couldn't get more if he had more.
"Success." The peasant woman cheered up and immediately wrapped him with five crisp pears.
Qiu Yutong picked up a crisp pear, biting it with a "click", and it turned out to be overflowing with juice, crisp and sweet.
He gnawed the pear with relish, and suddenly remembered something: "Yes, elder sister, I want to ask, I'm going to Baizhou Hanyadu, I heard that I was taking a boat in the Baishui River in front of me, is this right?
"That's right." The peasant woman pointed to the front. "Well, did you see the smoking place in front of you? That's because the people in our village were burning straw for dinner. After passing the village, we walked forward one more mile, It's the Baishui River. It's just getting dark this day, and I don't know if there is a boatman. "
"Oh, so, let me try my luck. Thank you, my elder sister." Qiu Yutong nodded and walked forward while nibbling the crisp pear.
Sure enough, after passing through a small village, he heard the sound of the rushing water in a short time. Qiu Yutong followed the sound and saw a large river not far away in front of him. The river was very wide and the water was very turbulent.
It seems that this is the Baishui River.
It was too late at this time, there was no ferry boat on the river, Qiu Yutong walked along the river for a long time, only to see a little fishing fire ahead.
With a joy in his heart, he shoved away the long grass all the way and walked on the high and low stones: "Housekeeper! Housekeeper!"
A small fishing boat docked by the river. The boatman was a tall man. He was wearing a hat and wearing a black jacket, sitting on the bow with his back to the shore, and roasted a small stove. fish.
Under the dim fire, it can be seen that it is a fat Guizhou fish, which is frothing with oil, and a piece of charcoal is overflowing.
Qiu Yutong looked a bit dazed.
Crispy pears are not enough.
He licked his lips: "Shipper, that ... do you sell fish?"
The man turned his back to him and shook his head slowly.
Qiu Yutong suffocated and said quietly, "I don't really sell it? But I'm hungry, can you sell me half a bar? Well, half a bar is enough. I have money."
The boatman sighed and stood up and turned around: "I don't sell this fish. If the master is hungry, just sit down and eat, why not bargain with me?"
Qiu Yutong stared at him: "Why are you here?"
Lu Xiao lifted off her hat, staring at him with dark eyes, and smiled slightly: "If I'm not here, what does Master eat at night?"
"..." Qiu Yutong was speechless. "What about the court? You're a slapstick!"
"Master, rest assured that from the first year of Yuande to the five years of Yuande, in the past five years, I have beaten the gang of barbarians in the north and dared not cross the border. The levees of the Changqing River have also been reinforced, and the treasury is also abundant. These days, I have talked with Chen Siru and Xu Changchun, everything has been arranged, no problem. "
"That being said, but the country can't be without a day ..."
"Yes." Lu Xiao interrupted him directly.
"Aren't you here?"
"Master, don't you forget, before I didn't want to listen to the scripture, the master cut a paper puppet and replaced it for me to listen to the scripture puppet? That paper puppet is indeed wonderful, as long as I have a little fingertips and blood, it is no different from a living person. . "
"But, after all, it's a puppet, just sit there and listen to the feast, you have to use him to go up? Are you dizzy?"
"So I got sick and let the paper puppet stay in the palace to recuperate. As for the court affairs, Chen Siru and Xu Changchun will take care of it, and now that the post is all over the world, Baizhou is not far from the capital. If there is anything, I You can return to Beijing at any time. "
"But ..." Qiu Yutong wanted to say something. Lu Xiao bent down and turned the grilled fish over. "This side is ready to eat. Would you like to apply chili oil?"
"... to."
Qiu Yutong nibbled at the fragrant grilled fish angrily.
Lu Xiao, who is doing things more and more as he pleases, does not ask his master's opinion at all, which is just too ridiculous! In the future, there is a chance to learn this lesson!
However, this grilled fish is really delicious ... crispy skin is tender, fresh and spicy. Or, look at the portion of this grilled fish, and forgive this traitor again?
It seems not impossible ...
The apes on both sides of the strait couldn't help, and Qingzhou had passed the Ten Thousand Mountains. The mentor and apprentice descended south along the Baishui River, and the boat was light and fast, but it was close to Baizhou for a few days.
