"Okay, is there anything else? If not, let's all leave."
Su Xiaoman asked. At this moment, she just wanted to go back and rest.
Ma Qu hurriedly stepped forward and said
"Master, the brothers have already checked out the Yu Qing family and are just waiting for the master to give orders."
"Oh" Su Xiaoman's eyes lit up and he became more energetic.
"He is back?"
Ma Qu nodded.
"Okay" Su Xiaoman clapped his hands.
"Let the brothers prepare well. We will take action in three days."
"Yes" everyone responded in unison.
"Okay, let's all disperse." After saying that, Su Xiaoman turned around and left.
"Right." Su Xiaoman suddenly turned around.
"Second Master, please arrange a place for Wang Yang to live."
"Okay, Mr. Master" Ma Qu responded.
"Well, I'm going back to rest first."
Then Su Xiaoman said to Wang Yang
"Wang Yang, come to my room at night and sing to me."
Everyone was stunned, and Wang Yang felt his face getting hot.
Ma Qu was twirling his beard with his hand.
When Su Xiaoman left, everyone also left one after another, but the weird looks in their eyes before leaving made Wang Yang feel uncomfortable.
"Pa" Ma Qu patted Wang Yang's shoulder enthusiastically.
"Brother Wang, come with me, and I will arrange a good place for you."
Wang Yang followed Ma Qu through the cottage. Along the way, Wang Yang saw many young children playing together, and many elderly people doing whatever work they could.
"Second Master, there are actually so many old people and children in this village?"
You know, back then on Dangyang Mountain, there was no old man or child to be found, they were all young people.
Ma Qu turned around and glanced at Wang Yang, then turned around and continued to lead the way.
"Brother Wang, don't think that I became a bandit just to eat meat and drink alcohol. In fact, we all do it to survive."
Ma Qu's tone was a little heavy.
"Isn't this a Buddhist country? There are so many temples, how can we not survive?"
Ma Qu didn't speak anymore, but lowered his head and speeded up again.
"Brother Wang, see how this room is. If you are not satisfied, I will change it for you."
"Very good," Wang Yang said casually.
"It's just a place to sleep."
The two sat down at the table in the room.
Ma Qu poured a cup of tea for the two of them.
"Brother Wang just came to the West, right?"
Wang Yang nodded.
When he learned that Wang Yang came to the West for a promise, Ma Qu gave a thumbs up.
"Brother Wang really believes in people."
Ma Qu took a sip of tea.
"Brother Wang may not know something. Although the West is huge, there are countless monasteries. Some practice Mahayana Buddhism, some practice Hinayana Buddhism, Tantric Buddhism, Sutra Buddhism, Zen Buddhism, etc. Different beliefs lead to fights. On and on.”
Ma Qu sighed.
"Today you rob me of my land, and tomorrow I will rob you of your followers. On the surface, it is peaceful and peaceful, but secretly it is the shadow of swords and swords. The golden body of the Buddha in the main hall is the blood and sweat of many people. They hold Dharma gatherings and amass money. The common people rent Farming the land, working all day long, but not having enough to eat, and even worse, raising horse bandits privately, massacring tribesmen and destroying villages."
"Pa" Ma Qu knocked on the table hard, his eyes red.
"Sorry, I lost my temper a little." Ma Qu bowed his hands in embarrassment.
"The second boss is really kind." Wang Yang felt a little heavy when he heard these words.
Ma Qu took a few deep breaths to calm down.
"This village originally did not have so many people. Later, many people who could not survive came here with their families. Slowly, there were more and more people in the village."
"Having said so much, Brother Wang must be a little tired. I'll ask someone to prepare some food. After Brother Wang uses it, he can take a hot bath and have a good rest."
"Thank you, Second Master"
Ma Qu waved his hand.
After sending Ma Qu out, Wang Yang stood at the door, watching a group of children playing games innocently in the open space in the distance, and then thought about what Ma Qu had just said.
Wang Yang felt very bad in his heart.
…………………………
For some reason, Wang Yang felt itchy all over his body these past few days. He couldn't sit still and couldn't concentrate on practicing.
I asked Su Xiaoman, and she said that this was the state of bone strengthening, and the bones in the body were growing.
Wang Yang asked her if she would grow taller.
Then Su Xiaoman looked at him like an idiot.
Wang Yang took out a deck chair from the room and placed it outside the house, lying on it lazily.
"Hey, it feels so comfortable. It's been a long time since I've been in the sun like this."
Before I came here, I delivered food every day and always left early and came back late. How could I be as comfortable as I am now.
Lying down, Wang Yang fell asleep in a daze.
"Big brother."
In the haze, Wang Yang felt his arm being shaken.
When he opened his eyes, he found a little girl of only five or six years old with braids.
Wang Yang rubbed the little girl's head with a very gentle tone.
"What's wrong? Little sister? What can you do?"
The little girl opened her big watery eyes and asked cautiously.
"Brother, do you know how to write the word elegant and elegant?"
During the time he stayed at Mr. Guo's house, Wang Yang asked for advice. Generally speaking, the characters here are almost the same as those in his hometown, which are the original traditional Chinese characters in his hometown.
In order to be able to understand the secret book in the future, Wang Yang worked hard.
Wang Yang sat up and wrote on the ground stroke by stroke.
elegant.
When the little girl saw the words, she jumped up and down and clapped her hands happily.
"Yes, that's the word. Big brother is so awesome."
Seeing the little girl so happy, Wang Yang felt very satisfied.
I saw the little girl squatting on the ground very seriously, practicing the word "Ya" on the ground stroke by stroke.
Wang Yang also squatted down.
"Little sister, can you tell me why you ask this word?"
The little girl looked up.
"That's my name. My name is Xu Xiaoya."
Xu Xiaoya went on to say
"My dad taught me how to write before, but I forgot."
After saying that, his face turned red with embarrassment.
Wang Yang gently held the girl in his arms. Before she could speak, she heard the little girl cry.
Wang Yang was immediately at a loss.
"What's wrong with you? Did I hurt you?"
The little girl cried and shook her head.
"My father used to hug me like this and teach me to write, but...but he was killed by bad guys."
The little girl choked and cried even harder after speaking.
Wang Yang hurriedly hugged the little girl, patted her back gently, and coaxed her while patting her.
"Be good, listen to my brother and don't cry. If you cry again, you won't be pretty."
"Wow!……"
"Xiaoya, Xiaoya, what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Xu Zhang, who was cooking, vaguely heard her daughter's cry, and hurriedly put down what she was doing and looked for her daughter.
Ever since her husband was killed by an adulterer, Xiaoya has been her lifeblood.
Following the cry, I found that my daughter was being held in someone else's arms. It seemed that the person was coaxing her.
After seeing the man's face clearly, Xu Zhang discovered that it was the good-looking young man who had returned with the boss two days ago.
I saw the young man lift Xiaoya high, put it on his neck, and lead Xiaoya around in circles.
Xiaoya stopped crying at this time and giggled happily.
Mrs. Xu Zhang felt relieved, quickly arranged her clothes, and stepped forward.
Wang Yang saw a plump woman wearing coarse linen clothes running towards the two of them.
It seems to be Xiaoya's mother.
really.
"mother"
Xu Xiaoya waved happily when she saw her mother coming.
"You kid, why are you so rude?"
Mrs. Xu Zhang was a little embarrassed.
He hurriedly picked up his daughter.
"It's okay," Wang Yang said nonchalantly.
"I quite like this kid too."
As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and teased Xiaoya's chin.
"Why don't you thank your brother yet?" Mrs. Xu Zhang patted Xu Xiaoya gently.
"Thank you, brother," Xu Xiaoya said obediently.
Seeing Xu Xiaoya's well-behaved look, Wang Yang couldn't help pinching Xu Xiaoya's little face again.
Xu Zhang accidentally saw the words on the ground, and she had a guess about what happened. His face was full of grief and loss.
Wang Yang probably guessed what Xu Zhang was thinking.
But I don’t know how to express comfort.
"Xiaoya, will my brother teach you how to read and write from now on?"
Wang Yang bent down and said to Xiaoya.
"Okay, okay" Xiaoya clapped her hands happily.
Mrs. Xu Zhang was about to wave her hand and refuse. He was interrupted by Wang Yang.
"Sister-in-law, it's good for children to learn more about Braille. It just so happens that I have nothing to do. Besides, I like Xiaoya very much when I see her."
"Thank you, thank you so much, little brother." He asked Xiaoya to kowtow to Wang Yang.
Wang Yang hurriedly stopped him.
Xiaoya held Xu Zhang's thigh and asked cautiously.
"Big brother, can I let Da Zhuang and Xiao Hu come and study together? They also want to study."
Dazhuang, Xiaohu must be Xiaoya's little friend, Wang Yang didn't refuse, he would chase a sheep or a group of sheep.
As soon as Wang Yang sat down and had lunch, he saw Ma Qu coming over in a hurry.
"What's wrong? It feels like my butt is on fire."
After a few days, Wang Yang also became familiar with Ma Qu.
Just joking casually.
Ma Qu took a step forward, took Wang Yang's hand and asked.
"Brother Wang, do you really want to teach children how to read?"
"Of course" Wang Yang nodded.
"Oh!" Ma Qu slapped his thigh.
"That's great." Ma Qu continued.
"There are not many literate people in this village. If you go to the town to ask for a gentleman, everyone is willing to come. Brother Wang, you have helped our village a lot."
Wang Yang laughed and said
"Have you ever thought so quickly?"
Ma Qu shook his head repeatedly
"No exaggeration at all."
"In this case, Brother Wang, I have already sent people to clean up a big room to use as a classroom, and also sent people to the town to buy books. Tomorrow, early tomorrow morning I will send someone to pick you up."
Ma Qu is equivalent to a big housekeeper in this village. He has the final say when Su Xiaoman is not around. Although he looks a little bit like a rat, he is actually a good person. It is quite prestigious in the village.
………………………
In the evening, Wang Yang was lying on the deck chair in the yard, while Xiaoya was lying obediently in Wang Yang's arms.
"I love you walking alone in a dark alley, I love the way you don't kneel,..."
Xiaoya was singing in a sweet voice.
"Did you teach her?"
Su Xiaoman's voice came.
Wang Yang opened his eyes.
"Hello, Master of the Dazhai," Xiaoya said hurriedly, then left Wang Yang's arms in a panic and stood aside with some restraint.
"What are you doing? Don't scare the children." Wang Yang looked at Xiaoya who was at a loss.
"Be good, don't be afraid." He gently stroked Xiaoya's little head.
"Get up." Su Xiaoman pulled Wang Yang up.
Then he lay down on it.
"You quite enjoy it."
"Hmph" Good men don't fight with women.
Wang Yang turned around and went back to the house.
After a while, Wang Yang moved out another recliner.
As soon as he went out, he saw Su Xiaoman lying where he was just now, also holding Xiaoya in his arms. Listen to Xiaoya singing.
Wang Yang put the recliner in place and found a comfortable position to lie down on.
"I love that you are so much like me, even the gaps are the same..."
Su Xiaoman suddenly raised his head.
"Why have I never heard you sing this song before?"
"Didn't I remember it?" It's really not Wang Yang's fault. If he hadn't seen Xiaoya, he really wouldn't have been able to remember this song.
“It sounds pretty good”
"Humph" Tsundere
……………………
"Xiaoya, go home for dinner." Mrs. Xu Zhang's voice came from a distance.
Breaking the peaceful atmosphere.
Xiaoya left Su Xiaoman's arms and climbed down from the recliner.
"Big brother, sister village leader, I'm going home for dinner. Goodbye."
"Goodbye" Wang Yang waved.
"Slow down and run." Wang Yang shouted as he watched Xiaoya running home quickly with small steps.
"I know" came Xiaoya's sweet voice.
Looking at Xiaoya's retreating back, Wang Yang turned around.
"I said, they are saying goodbye to you, you should give me some reaction."
"Yeah." Su Xiaoman lay motionless on the recliner.
"Huh, how rude."
When Su Xiaoman heard this, he raised his small fist and waved it.
Wang Yang hurriedly lay down.
"I heard from Ma Qu that you want to teach the children in the village to read?"
Su Xiaoman's voice came from the side.
"Yes." Wang Yang stretched.
"Since you're here once, you have to leave something behind. You can't just do nothing."
"But I can't tell you are still a good person."
"snort"
Do I have to tell you that I am a Young Pioneer?
"Wang Yang, why do you think this world is always like this?" Su Xiaoman's tone was a little heavy. Wang Yang had never heard Su Xiaoman speak in such a tone.
"Huh?" Wang Yang opened his eyes. But he didn't understand what Su Xiaoman meant.
"A hundred years of turmoil will stop in ten years. A turmoil will occur every hundred years or so, and a turmoil will last more than ten years."
Wang Yang then sat up.
"Unrest occurs every hundred years? Why?"
Su Xiaoman shook his head and said no more.
Wang Yang asked several times in succession, but Su Xiaoman did not answer.
"Why are you like this? You always speak half-sentence, which makes people appetizing."
Wang Yang was very dissatisfied.
And Su Xiaoman seemed like nothing happened at this time. Haha.
In the end, under the threat of Su Xiaoman's small fists, Wang Yang could only sing "Lonely Warrior" to her twice.
Su Xiaoman left with satisfaction.
Before leaving, he threw a bottle of elixir to Wang Yang.
"The bone-strengthening realm requires a lot of meat to supplement. There isn't that much meat in the village. This bottle of elixir can supplement your body's needs."
Wang Yang looked at the medicine bottle in his hand and saw beautiful words written on it.
"One pill a day"
Wang Yang put the elixir into his arms.
