Yu Chang felt a little regretful, but he was embarrassed and drove away people because of the failure. He could only say that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. If he could no longer rely on his father, at least he would not do the roundabout thing of exchanging children for fame and fortune. The so-called Parents in the world can’t help but feel like this.
After the banquet, Zhang Ling and the old man took a walk and chatted by the pond.
Zhang Ling saw that the old man was always holding the teapot in his hand. Even if he gave him money, he would not exchange it for a good one. He couldn't help but said: "Senior, is this teapot important to you?"
The old man faced the moonlit sky, feeling an indescribable sense of relief, and said with a smile: "I didn't like drinking even in the military camp before. Those guys would drag me there every time, and I only drank one glass, and the leader was always the one who drank. They spotted me at a glance, but those guys dealt with it cleanly. In the end, I suffered the most. Later, I helped the general block a knife. I didn't have much money in a year, and the general was just a guy at that time. An ordinary infantryman bought me this teapot with the money he had saved for more than half a year. The general didn't have enough money, so he couldn't afford a cup. At that time, he only had the bowl he used to pour tea from when he was eating, and he used orange peels picked from the roadside. Qingye, I scooped out water and soaked it in a pot while the rice was cooking. Although it is bitter, it is warm in the mouth."
The old man smiled more and more as he talked. Zhang Ling understood the feeling of remembering the bitterness and remembering the sweetness, but after all, he had never experienced it, and it was impossible for them to feel the same way.
Zhang Ling smiled and said: "Senior, do you have any other wishes?"
The old man smiled and said nothing. He just walked forward and seemed to think for a while before saying: "If you feel cold in the future, I will come here to drink tea. As long as I am still alive, this tea will definitely not be cold."
Zhang Ling did not follow, but stopped and agreed softly: "Okay."
In the leisure courtyard outside Yu Chang's study, two young men and women were sitting at this time. However, both of them were actually over thirty. However, due to their success in martial arts, they had almost reached the state of transformation. They did not need to take care of themselves as they grew older, but they could still stay young. If you stay there for a long time, the traces of time will generally not show until the year of your destiny.
The woman was naturally Mingyue who came to collect debts. She said calmly: "According to the information from the Seven Boundary Lines spread by Mingtang, my father appeared in Wu State two months ago, but he left after a short stay, but he stayed in the branch hall there. A map field.”
Mingyue handed the map to the man opposite. It was the general territory map of Wu State. There were several marks on it. He knew at a glance what these locations were. He said: "I will go to Wu State to check it out personally. If Zhang Ling is in trouble, please help."
Mingyue said angrily: "That kid himself is a trouble."
Yu Chang had a heart-to-heart talk with his daughter. Fortunately, she was not too affectionate and was not heartbroken. Moreover, women tended to be polite and restrained, fearing that their father would worry about them, so they looked relieved.
Although Yu Chang saw his daughter smiling, he knew his daughter, Mo Ruofu, and knew that she was pretending to be worried about him. Yu Chang did not bother her again. The words had been spoken, and what he wanted after that was not company, but sometimes alone. Maybe she can come out. When her mother passed away, she secretly choked up so as not to disturb her young children.
The child was frustrated, and his father was sleeping on the floor. He just wanted to go to the study to read for a while. As soon as he turned the corner, he saw the two people in the pavilion. The woman had greeted him, and he naturally knew that she was at home. He shouted : "Miss Mingyue, who is this?"
The man sitting in the pavilion got up and walked out. Under the moonlight, he saw clearly that it was Zhang Jingqian who had escorted Zhang Ling all the way. The woman smiled and replied: "The Medical Saint of Medicine King Valley."
Yu Chang looked shocked. He really didn't expect to see the world-famous sage at this time. He said respectfully: "It turns out to be the medical sage. I have admired his name for a long time. I wonder why the medical sage is here?"
When Zhang Jingqian saw the elder in front of him, he showed a smile that he had not seen for a long time and said: "I have a patient in Jinyu City, and I came here specially to treat him. I happened to see an old friend, so we chatted here for a few words. Sorry to disturb Captain Yu."
Yu Chang waved his hands hurriedly and said with a smile: "The Medical Sage and the masters in the world are praised by everyone in the world. Even kings will treat each other with courtesy. It is an honor for Yu to have the Medical Sage come here."
Zhang Jingqian said humbly: "But I really have something important to do today, so I won't bother you."
When the evening breeze came to the hospital, Yu Chang squinted his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, the medical sage was nowhere to be seen, and Mingyue also stood up to say goodbye. When everyone left, Yu Chang said with emotion: "There is no banquet in the world, don't ask to meet again when you come." , I just want to have no regrets now!”
…
The turbaned Wu Zhi took off his disguise, cleaned up the embarrassed image he had created during the day at Mingyue Tower, and walked towards the mountain behind Jinyu City as if nothing had happened. However, as soon as he arrived at the courtyard on the mountain, he saw several familiar people. The figure tried hard to hide her smile.
Wu Zhi, who knew that his embarrassment was discovered, had an angry look on his face. He stared at the wretched head lying in the pit and cursed: "Loach, why are you laughing? You will definitely not get any benefits if you go. I know you Where are those holes dug in the ground? Believe it or not, I will block them all for you when I turn around?"
The man lying in the pit was not annoyed and said with a joking smile: "How many times do I have to tell you that I am called Ground Rolling Dragon? Also, why are you laughing at me? Can you fill the hole as fast as I can dig it?"
Wu Zhi approached the hole step by step. The man at the entrance of the hole, who was called Ground Roller, laughed nonsense, shrank his feet and crawled into the hole. Wu Zhi took out a pellet ball from his body, picked up a stone from the ground, and threw it into the hole together. He shook it hard inside the hole, and instantly a smell of fumes rushed out from inside. Wu Zhi covered his mouth and nose, hearing a series of coughs and vague curses, then he tied up a little finger and said with a bad smile: "Little Loach, I can’t cure you yet.”
The people watching on the side were already familiar with it. There was a lush pomegranate tree two feet away to the right of Wu Zhi, but it had not yet produced fruit, otherwise there would be pomegranate seeds on the ground. A young man wearing straw sandals and dressed as a farmer. Jumping down from the tree, his skin was slightly dark, and he walked towards Wuzhi with a hoe on his shoulder. He said with an authentic local accent: "Except for the two people from the Yu family and the one from the Ye family who has a particularly good ear, I also said I met a man who used concealed weapons in the market. You are very skilled at it, so I teased him and I almost couldn't come back."
When Wu Zhi heard his description, as a man from Mingtang, he immediately knew the person's background, turned around and said: "Li Dami, that person's name is Mo Li, he is from the Mo family, and he is currently the youngest tycoon of the Mo family. He came to our academy to look for someone."
Holding a dragon-snake spear in hand, Liu Yuancheng, who had earlier fought with Song Linjie in a deadlock, stood on the edge of the mountain and said, "So, four people are going to enter the academy this time."
Wu Zhi looked at him and said, "It's hard to say. Every time the academy recruits disciples, thousands of people come. It's hard to guarantee that some will be missed, but the vice-chancellor said that only you and Tie Hanhan will be allowed to try out. "
"Who called me?"
In a small courtyard dozens of meters away, a child with a height of only four feet and an immature appearance was practicing boxing. Suddenly, the wall of the courtyard collapsed with one punch, and he quickly rushed to the square. Li Dami called him senior brother. The child The boy looks immature, but in fact he has already reached his crown. He is just born as a dwarf and has stopped growing only half way.
Wu Zhi reminded: "Tiehanhan, Dean Song also said that it is okay to compete, but you cannot hurt them."
Tie Hanhan looked disappointed, and Wu Zhi smiled evilly and said: "But that man named Zhang Ling, as long as he doesn't die, I will beat him to death."
