"Why can't you plant? Farmers have nothing to think about and nothing to do. They just do one thing in their lives, farming. The teacher in the private school said something. The old man thought about it and there is some truth. He said, walk with your head down and raise your head. You can see the sky, don’t ask about harvest, but ask about hard work!”
Walking with your head down, can you see the sky when you raise your head?
Don’t ask about harvest, but ask about hard work?
Ah Si was suddenly startled. Yes, don't ask about the harvest, but ask about the hard work. Such a simple and easy-to-understand principle was taught by my husband when I was enlightened. How could I forget it?
I used to study by myself, then learned swordsmanship, and even went into seclusion for decades. During this time, how much scenery did I miss?
He suddenly understood why he was so keen on Junior Brother Xiaobai's method of "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger". It turned out to be that he seemed to have been separated from the human world for a long time.
It's been a long time since I could calm down and look at the beautiful mountains and rivers like a normal person.
His state of mind seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation.
It seems that it has been somewhat sublimated.
The next moment, he rolled up his sleeves, and in the astonished eyes of the old farmer, he said, "Old man, let me help you!"
He helped the old farmer work for a whole day. At night, he had a simple farm meal with these farmers in the village in the terraced fields. He was as casual as an ordinary farmer. He also drank wine with them and chatted with them. Eat meat in pieces.
Simple and joyful.
The next day, he said goodbye to the old farmer, asked for the direction of Heyezhou, and left.
He was determined to take a walk through these splendid mountains and rivers and take a look at the scenery of this world.
When he wielded his sword on these hundreds of thousands of acres of golden terraced fields, he felt endless pride in his heart.
"I have reached the realm of Land Sword Immortal, but where is my way?"
He thought like this and then got the answer.
“My Word is in the heart and under the feet!”
Wash away the lead and become ordinary in the end.
There are too many concerns in this world, and they cannot let go of the monk's obsession, so they cannot return to their original nature.
Since it is "cultivation", there must be "attachment".
…
In this windy world, there is a swordsman who travels far away with his sword. He may be walking in the autumn rain without an umbrella, letting the wind and rain hit his face.
He would go to a private school in a small human town to listen to the Master's enlightenment classes, and he would also sit on the bridge of a certain stone street for a whole day.
He would visit brothels and get drunk for three days and three nights.
Occasionally, he would follow the merchants who were selling their goods on the vast ancient tea-horse road. He would also follow the merchants and shout the "traveler's song", letting the sound echo in the vast world.
All of this, casually, as you please, at will.
Unrestrained.
Wherever his heart goes, he can travel thousands of miles with his sword and wander among the sea of clouds.
He would also quarrel with vendors in the market over a penny of steamed buns.
He felt that this was the fireworks in the world.
He is a living person.
He walked through Maple Leaf Island, Baiyun Island, and Lotus Leaf Island. From the beginning of autumn wind, when the cold winter came.
I am in an ethereal state, unrestrained and at ease with the situation. I have traveled through most of the beautiful mountains and rivers, watching the fireworks in the world and observing the autumn wind and winter mood.
Finally, in the winter season.
He has arrived in Cangzhou City.
The cold wind was howling, and he was wrapped in a mink fur. The wind was biting in this weather. I'm afraid it's going to snow.
He approached the sword-making shop, where Ning Caisang and Li Furong were drinking wine by the fire. A wooden stick propped up the window, so they could just see the two women inside.
Jiang Xiaobai, on the other hand, was in the sword-making shop outside the door, pulling the bellows and complaining a little: "That old guy from Tianji Pavilion can't be sure. Didn't he say that Second Senior Brother La Dong will come back? If he doesn't come, I'll be dead." I want his sword-making shop to be put on the market..."
Not long after, a boy about seventeen or eighteen years old ran out from the backyard. He rubbed his hands, which were red from the cold, took the bellows from Jiang Xiaobai and started to pull it up.
"Shopkeeper, let me do it!" said the young man.
"Spring is still far away, but we have to hurry up for the next batch of farm tools. People from all over the country are waiting to use them. You have to work harder. Similarly, if you pay 30% of the sales of these farm tools, you will have enough money to marry a wife after the year. ." Jiang Xiaobai said.
"Don't worry, shopkeeper, you can rest assured. My mother has already found that aunt in the west of the city for me. I have seen her from a distance. She is a good childbearer," said the young man.
"Is your butt big?" Jiang Xiaobai asked.
"Young man, in time for spring to start tomorrow, if you really want to get married, you must treat the shopkeeper to a wedding banquet," said the young man.
The two of them were talking dirty words in the sword-making shop, and from time to time they showed a lewd smile that you understand and I understand.
"By the way, shopkeeper, you and your wife have been together for so long, but there is no movement in your stomach. Shopkeeper, don't you have something to hide?" the young man said suddenly.
"Look at my body, I look strong and strong, doesn't it look like me?" Jiang Xiaobai glared.
"It's a bit..." the young man said. He knew that Jiang Xiaobai had an easy-going personality and the two of them were similar in age, so he had no worries about what he said.
"Which eye can tell, let me slap you..." As he said this, Jiang Xiaobai picked up a piece of wood and slapped the boy on him.
"Ouch..." The boy screamed out in pain, glared at Jiang Xiaobai, and said, "Shopkeeper, if you hit me again, I'll fight back! I didn't say that, it's what the neighbors say."
"Nima, who leaked the news again?" Jiang Xiaobai looked confused.
"Ahem..."
Suddenly, a coughing sound was heard, and Swordman Asi walked into the yard wrapped in mink fur.
Jiang Xiaobai looked for his voice and was suddenly startled. Then he became happy and shouted into the room at the top of his lungs: "Sister-in-law, the second senior brother is back..."
"boom…"
The door to the room suddenly closed, and even the wooden stick holding up the window was taken down by Ning Caisang.
"What's going on? This is..." Sword Maniac Ah Si was startled.
At this time, the boy who was pulling the bellows looked at the sword-crazy Ah Si and asked Jiang Xiaobai with some doubts, "Shopkeeper, is this what you often call the big shopkeeper who always gives up in chaos?"
Beginning with chaos and ending with abandonment, what the hell?
What the hell is the big shopkeeper?
"Xiao Bai, what's going on?" Ah Si looked at the closed door, then at the boy pulling the bellows, finally came to his senses and said, "The new guy?"
"Otherwise, as the business grows, it is natural to recruit more than one assistant. I have hired three, and the other two are off today." Jiang Xiaobai said.
Swordman Asi looked puzzled and was about to speak when Jiang Xiaobai said: "Don't ask, let's deal with my sister-in-law first. You've been gone for so long and there's no letter. My sister-in-law is really angry."
Um?
I always feel like something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on it.
"That's right, big shopkeeper, you should coax my sister-in-law first. These days, the shopkeeper has been trying to impress your sister-in-law and teach her how to deal with you. I don't dare to marry my mother-in-law anymore after hearing that vicious plan." The guy is a The upright man sold Jiang Xiaobai in one fell swoop.
Jiang Xiaobai held his forehead and sighed, this pig teammate...why doesn't he have any city government at all?
