Standing on the other side of the river and looking into the distance, Shu Yu didn't feel anything. When she got off the bridge, she found that the withered plum forest was quite big. She wandered around for a long time but didn't find Jing Chen.
"Master Jing Chen? Master? Are you here? "
Yu Shu raised her voice and shouted a few times, but there was no response at all. Disappointed, she picked up the jujube cake and prepared to go back. She inadvertently turned her head and saw a white shadow behind an old plum tree. Clearly, someone was sitting behind the tree.
Yu Shu turned around and walked under the tree. When she saw the two swords on the back of the person under the tree, she knew it was the person she was looking for.
"Master Jing Chen?" Yu Shu shouted again, but the person under the tree didn't move. She felt strange, walked around the tree and looked at the front.
Ha, no wonder he didn't respond. It turned out that he was sleeping.
The young Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged under the tree with his arms crossed. His eyes were relaxed, and he looked relaxed in his sleep. He did not look as serious as he did when he was awake. A flower petal was stuck to his loose forehead hair. It swayed when the wind blew, and it made people's hands itch. Yu Shu rolled her eyes and quietly squatted down in front of him. She first reached out and waved her hand in front of his face. Seeing that he didn't respond, she picked up a small handful of flower petals from the ground and bravely sprinkled them on his head. Looking at his delicate sleeping face that was reflected in the pink and white petals, she couldn't help but lower her head and laugh. But soon, she couldn't laugh anymore. She didn't know when the closed eyes in front of her had opened. His clear eyes didn't seem to be blaming her, but it made her feel guilty.
"Hehe." Yu Shu laughed dryly as she moved back. She really didn't mean to offend him, it was just that her hands were itching.
Jing Chen touched the top of his head and took a few petals. He looked at them and shook his head. Two more petals fell down. He lowered his head and patted them, touched them again, and continued to pat them.
Yu Shu wanted to laugh, but she held it back and reminded him, "It's clean."
Only then did Jing Chen put his hand down from his head. He looked at Yu Shu, but he was not angry.
He didn't seem angry and didn't care about her teasing just now. He asked, "Why are you here?"
Yu Shu sent the jujube cake in her hand forward and smiled sweetly, "Master, didn't you tell me that you lived in the plum forest in the east of the city? I came here because the weather was good today. Here you are. I saw that you liked the cakes last time, so I bought a bag as a thank you gift for sending me and my brother back to the city last time. I don't have any ability now, but I will treat you when I have money in the future. " Jing Chen took the paper bag from her, thanked her, and opened it in front of her. Looking at the few pieces of jujube cake wrapped in the paper, he was really hungry. Seeing that Yu Shu was squatting in front of him and had no intention of leaving, he hesitated for a moment, broke off a piece, and ate it by himself.
That morning in the suburbs, Yu Shu was slightly surprised by his rude behavior. It was rare to see such a straightforward person even in the modern world in her previous life.
What kind of good food was it? He just ate it in front of her. He couldn't wait.
That morning in the suburbs, he ate a piece of cake as if he hadn't eaten for a few days.
Wait, did he really starve?
"Great Hero, have you had breakfast?" Yu Shu asked eagerly.
Jing Chen shook his head, swallowed, and took another piece.
"Did you have dinner yesterday?"
Jing Chen shook his head, slowly took a bite, and licked the crumbs on the corner of his mouth.
"Did you have dinner yesterday?"
Jing Chen nodded and said, "You gave me a snack yesterday morning."
,
"…" Yu Shu suddenly felt that this young and powerful Taoist priest in front of her was not as smart as she imagined. Otherwise, how could he be so pitiful that he couldn't even eat a meal?
He was a Taoist priest. In the Da 'an Dynasty, even if he didn't have money, he could just go to any house and there would be someone to entertain him. There was no need for him to starve. Perhaps, he was too aloof and didn't want to eat and drink for free? That couldn't be right. If he was a person who cared about his face, he wouldn't have chewed the cake in front of her.
Puzzled, Yu Shu had to tell him the truth. "Master, why are you hungry?"
Jing Chen ate a few pieces of cake and his stomach felt much better. When he heard Yu Shu's question, his face showed a trace of embarrassment. He avoided Yu Shu's line of sight and whispered, "This is the first time I went down the mountain. I didn't know the importance of money. When I went down the mountain, I lost it, so I had to sleep in the open."
Yu Shu was surprised. The truth was that this person was not a Master.
Da Xia was just a little naive. He had been eating and sleeping in the open all the way from Mount Longhu to Yiyang City. How was she supposed to say this? Was it really a pity that he didn't starve to death?
"Ahem," Yu Shu cleared her throat and hid the stunned expression on her face. Squatting for too long was uncomfortable, so she sat down cross-legged. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Great Hero, may I be so bold as to ask, do you plan to stay in Yiyang City, or do you plan to go somewhere else?"
Jing Chen said, "I have to stay here for a while."
Yu Shu said, "Then do you plan to stay like this?"
"Huh?"
Yu Shu scratched her head and simply said, "Sleeping in the open like this in the woods. You don't have a meal. You can't always be like this, right? One or two days might not be a problem, but after a long time, you will definitely get sick. You have to think of a way. Let's eat first. If you don't mind, I can give you an idea. " Yu Shu was not someone who liked to meddle in other people's business and she did not have any extra kindness. If the person who was sleeping in the open was a refugee or a beggar, she might not even take a look but this Xiao Bai had helped her before and his character was not bad. He looked like a good person inside and out and she did not know what to do with a good person. It was strange, she was not a good person but she could not bear to see a good person suffer.
Jing Chen could feel that the youth in front of him was anxious for him. He was slightly moved and asked, "What idea?"
Yu Shu said, "It's not really an idea.
Maybe. You just said you.
Since it's my first time coming down the mountain, I'm probably trying to understand the people's livelihood. Most people respect Taoists. In Yiyang City, there are three clans that have learned Taoism. Great hero, you are from an upright sect. If you pay them a visit, they will definitely treat you with great hospitality. Hmm, they will provide you with food and accommodation. Don't you want to stay in Yiyang to handle some matters? Why don't you stay with them for the time being and leave after you've finished your business? "
Yesterday, when Third Elder Wen asked about it, she hid her selfishness and did not want them to find Jing Chen. However, it was different now. She had recognized the old man Qing Zheng as her master. With someone to guide her, it was easy for her to learn. She did not need to have any ideas about Jing Chen anymore. It was better for her to stop thinking about it and be more convenient for others.
"No."
"Ah?" It was rare for her to be kind, and he actually said no?
Jing Chen shook his head. He didn't want to reveal too much, but when he saw the confusion on the young man's face, he explained, "I have something important to do. Before I finish it, I can't contact too many people." If that was the case, Yu Shu laughed secretly. Then there was no other way. It was not that she wanted to hide him, but he did not want to meet people. He did not have the fortune to eat and drink well.
This way was not going to work. Of course, she had to think of another way to let Jing Xiaobai starve.
It was definitely not going to work. But Yu Shu did not have extra spare money. Even if she did, she could not guarantee that Master Jing Chen would be willing to use her for free.
Money, money, money. Where could she get money?
Yu Shu looked at Jing Chen from head to toe. Suddenly, an idea came to her. She leaned forward and said, "You're from the Dao Sect.
Do you have any items that can help you seek good fortune and avoid calamity? "
In the Yi Shop, any red string could be sold for a string of money. This robe that Jing Xiaobai was wearing was made of silk.
Since it was made of pure silk, it should have some valuable accessories on it.
"Items?" Jing Chen thought for a while. Then, he touched his waist and stretched out his hand to pass it to her. "Will this do?"
Yu Shu looked at his palm, but it was a yellow bead the size of a longan.
It was a yellow bead the size of a longan. It didn't look like jade, but rather like it had been ground from a stone. It didn't look very impressive.
"What is this?"
She stretched out her hand. Jing Chen flipped his palm, and the bead fell into her palm. It was surprisingly cold, causing her to withdraw her hand. When she lifted it up to take a look, there was not even a hole for thread.
"This is a Yellowfrost Stone. It is often rubbed in the palm to ward off evil wind." Jing Chen only mentioned one of the uses of the Yellowfrost Stone. Hearing this, Yu Shu rubbed the stone bead in her palm. After a few rubs, her palm began to heat up, but the bead was still cold. It was very strange. She knew in her heart that this should be a good thing.
Jing Chen looked at her curiously playing with it. He remembered that his Junior Brother was also mischievous and playful, so he said generously, "This is for you."
"Huh? No, no, no, I don't want it.
I want something from you. " Yu Shu waved her hand, suppressing the greed in her heart. She said seriously, "There are exchange shops and pawnshops in the city. Valuable things can be sold for money. If you sell this stone, you will at least have enough money to eat."
"Sell it?" Jing Chen frowned. He took out another bead from his sleeve and gave it to her. "Do you think this can be sold?"
This time
It was a 100% jade bead. The color was very good. Yu Shu's eyes were not bad. She rubbed it twice in her hand and immediately nodded happily. "Yes, this is also good."
Jing Chen nodded. "Then sell this. You can't sell the Yellowfrost Stone. If you like it, keep it."
Yu Shu squeezed the yellow bead and said shyly, "How can I take your things for free?"
She thought, 'This guy is quite a good person.'
Jing Chen looked down at her with a smile in his eyes. "Keep it. It may be useful."
Yu Shu did not stand on ceremony with him anymore. She put the yellow bead away and handed it to him. "I will take you to the pawnshop now. Let's go."
Jing Chen sat on the ground and did not move. "Can you help me? I have something to do later."
Yu Shu nodded. "Of course, as long as you trust me. Don't worry that I will take your bead and run away."
"Then I will have to trouble you, little brother."
Yu Shu grinned. "Hero, you can call me Xiao Yu. Calling me little brother is like treating me like an outsider."
"Xiaoyu?" Jing Chen murmured. His words were very soft, but the last syllable sounded like a hook. When he called Yu Shu's pet name, it seemed inexplicably intimate.
Yu Shu's previous name was Yu Jing. It was a very common name. There were four children in the first unit in their community. All of them had the nickname Jing Jing. When they called for dinner upstairs, seven or eight children ran back. In order to distinguish them, her parents gave her the nickname "Xiaoyu". Her colleagues and friends called her "Xiao Yu".
The same sound, but the meaning was different.
She did not know that Jing Chen had said it wrong. She smiled and replied, "Yes."
