In the autumn rain, Yu Dilong felt that his master was like a scoundrel who came to take advantage of him.
The child didn't dare to enter the house. He squatted on the steps outside the threshold and looked up. Under the eaves, there was a black curtain of rain. The rain splashed on the ground and splashed on his trousers. Yu Dilong sighed softly. He suddenly missed his sister who carried a big wooden sword case. Hearing the sound of light footsteps, Yu Dilong turned around and saw the woman who he didn't know whether to call sister or aunt carry two small stools. She put one next to him and sat on the other. Yu Dilong hesitated for a moment but still sat on the stool. He sat upright and looked straight ahead. The "widowed" Pei Nanwei looked at the child's rigid sitting posture and asked softly, "What do you do?"
Yu Dilong thought carefully and said shyly, "I'm my master's disciple."
Pei Nanwei was amused. "Could it be your master's master?"
Yu Dilong opened his mouth slightly and blushed.
Pei Nanwei didn't say anything else. She looked at the mud in the yard with the child and said to herself, "We should have laid down stone slabs. The ten kilograms of mud we dug from the Swallow's Nest Ridge is gone. "
Yu Dilong listened to her nagging and didn't feel annoyed. Perhaps because he was an orphan since childhood, Yu Dilong felt a strange warmth.
A voice came from behind them. "Time to eat."
At the small square table, Hsu Fengnian had already served the food and set the bowls and chopsticks. Pei Nanwei and Yu Dilong walked into the house with stools. Pei Nanwei and Hsu Fengnian sat opposite each other. The child thought for a moment and didn't dare to eat at the table. He just sat on the threshold with the bowl and continued to watch the rain hit the mud. At this moment, the child, who had been thinking about saving enough money to build a house since he could remember, decided that if he wanted to build a house in the future, he would build it according to this yard.
"You still know to come back?"
"Yes."
"What did you do outside? Did you unify Jianghu, kill the Emperor of Liyang, or flatten Beimang? "
"Not really. But haven't you heard the news? "
"What should a commoner hear?"
"I went out and fought with Wang Xianzhi, and luckily survived. After that, he made a trip to the Eastern Sea's Martial Emperor City and took away all the weapons. On the way back to Beiliang, I met Great Grandpa of the Wu family's Sword Tomb. After staying at Mount Qingliang for less than a day, I ran to the north of Liangzhou and finally sat here to eat with you. "
"How busy."
"It's just that I didn't earn enough money to bring it back. Was the bag of rice that Zhu Zhengli carried here last time? You're eating so little, but I don't see you losing weight. It's time to grow fat again, so take it easy. If you're skinny, you can still wear old clothes, but it's just a little looser. If you're fat, you'll have to spend more money. "
Pa! A loud sound rang out. Yu Dilong quickly turned his head and saw her slamming her chopsticks on the table.
"The Bishan county yamen has already stopped your salary. I went to get it at the beginning of the month, but they refused to give it to me. He also said that you took a leave of absence for no reason and went to Mount Wudang to relax. When Yanzhi County's Governor heard this, he was furious and seems to want to remove you from your position. "
"Go get it again and try again."
"Are you sure you won't make a wasted trip?"
"If you can't get it, then forget it. My monthly salary is less than ten taels of silver anyway."
Pa!
This time, it was a slap to the bowl.
Yu Dilong suddenly felt like laughing.
After that, Hsu Fengnian washed the dishes. To Yu Dilong's surprise, his master didn't stay in this small county for long. After freeloading for a meal, he left in the rain. The woman didn't ask him to stay, but before they left the house, she took out a rain hat and a straw raincoat woven from bamboo leaves. She didn't give them to Yu Dilong's master, but gave them to the child and told him to put them on without any explanation. Yu Dilong timidly looked at his master. Hsu Fengnian dismissed it with a smile. The two horses' hooves trampled on the bluestone floor of the alley. Because it was a rainy night, the sound of the horses' hooves was muffled and didn't attract much attention. Although Yu Dilong's body was thin and weak, his bones were abnormally strong. Wearing the rain hat and the straw raincoat didn't seem heavy or cumbersome at all. It was just that they didn't fit him and looked really funny. Yu Dilong turned back to look at the courtyard. He didn't know why, but the child didn't rely on Beiliang Palace at all. He also didn't treat it as his home, but he felt close to this simple courtyard. He also had a strange thought in his heart that he couldn't tell anyone. It would be great if the woman was his mother.
Yu Dilong gathered his courage and shouted, "Master."
Hsu Fengnian slowed down the horse and looked at the child with big eyes with slight confusion.
Yu Dilong was quick-witted. He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and asked, "Where are we going?"
Hsu Fengnian indifferently said, "Mount Wudang. I'm going to a paradise there to stabilize my body and spirit. "
Since Yu Dilong could see the strength of Wang Sheng and Lu Yunchang's Qi, he naturally knew a secret after spending so much time with his master. His master's Qi had been declining. Simply put, his master's martial cultivation was like a bamboo basket that kept leaking water. If he didn't fix it quickly, there wouldn't be a drop left. It might even cause irreparable damage to the basket itself. This was also why Chu Lushan had asked for five hundred cavalrymen to protect him at Huaiyang Pass. He had fought to the death with Wang Xianzhi, killed Zhao Huangchao, attacked Wu Wu City, and fought against Wu Jian. Hsu Fengnian's strength was declining day by day at different stages. If it weren't for this, the great grandpa of the Wu family's sword tomb wouldn't have taken the extra step of pretending to block Hsu Fengnian's way at the border of Youzhou and River Province.
