Amidst the chattering words, Mu Yu finally burped and stretched contentedly. The old man talked a lot with great joy, but he didn't know how much Mu Yu heard. He put down the bowls and chopsticks and said, "I'm going to help you chop wood."
Mu Yu has to help the village chief chop firewood every day, so he can't eat for free. Although the village chief is simple and kind and doesn't mind Mu Yu eating and drinking, Mu Yu himself can't live with it. But today the village elder stopped him. The village elder said happily: "No, no, I have to take you to the town later. If you become a fairy master in the future, then the old man will have to give you How dare I ask you to chop firewood when you are kneeling down?"
"Isn't kneeling to death the same thing as kneeling to death? Grandpa, I'm still fine!" Mu Yu said with a smile, "Don't worry! From now on, I will support grandpa in his old age. If anyone dares to bully grandpa, I will raise my hand and beat him. I don't have to use my spells." It depends on the auspicious day."
"Go! You are kneeling to death!" The village elder waved his hands hurriedly, but he still looked pleased, "The little boy said this, the old man was much happier. Go back and clean up quickly, I will take you there later The school in town.”
In fact, Mu Yu didn't have anything valuable to pack. To say it was valuable, it was probably only the bluestone he wore around his neck. At least Mu Yu thought it was a stone because it was green and seemed to be covered with moss. He originally thought it was a piece of jade! As a result, the old scholar in the village said that it was just an ordinary stone. A stone is a stone! It was left by his mother. Although Mu Yu had no trace of his mother in his memory, he still habitually hung the bluestone around his neck.
His clothes were given by kind people in the village. They were white after washing, but they still fit him, so he simply packed two pieces of clothes and returned. Unexpectedly, when I returned to the village chief, I found that many villagers had already been waiting there.
"Muyu! You really make us proud, don't forget us in the future!"
"You are really promising. If you give me a few more years, I will betroth my second daughter to you."
"Muyu, these are the shoes that my aunt sewed for you last night. Take care of yourself!"
…
In the past ten years, there was finally the second person in the village who could go to college. Many villagers came to see Mu Yu off. Mu Yu was usually very popular in the village, so everyone liked him very much. When he heard that the ten-year-old Erya was still sniffing quickly, Mu Yu felt that it was too early to get married.
"Thank you Aunt Wang, thank you Uncle Pang. Thank you everyone, I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore."
Mu Yu's hands seemed to be filled with all kinds of things at once, including clothes, socks, fruits, eggs. When he reacted, he found that he was holding a flapping rooster in his right hand! What's all this fuss about? Do we really need to bring these things to school? Who sent this rooster
Mu Yu was a little confused. In fact, all simple villagers were like this. After a long time, an immortal master apprentice was born in the village, so why not fawn over him? He distressedly took the shaky things in his arms and stuffed them all on the table of the village chief's house. Looking at the messy scene, Mu Yu also had a headache. He shouted loudly: "Folks, be quiet first, be quiet first. "
"Don't talk, don't talk, listen to the instructions of our future immortal master." Uncle Wang had a loud voice and finally persuaded everyone to calm down.
Mu Yu smiled helplessly and said: "Folks, Mu Yu will never forget how good you are to me. I can't take these things away either. You can take them back later! If I succeed in my studies in the future, I will definitely I will never forget you all, thank you again.”
Surrounded by everyone, Mu Yu finally squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the entrance of the village with the village elder. The village elder walked happily in front and hummed a tune. Mu Yu followed behind with a bitter look on his face. .
Walking out of the village entrance, there is a statue there. The carving on the statue is of a young man. Unfortunately, the carving is not very fine. It looks like the eyes are protruding and the nose is slanted. It is more ugly than it is. The village chief stopped in front of the statue, bowed solemnly, and muttered something unknown. Mu Yu vaguely heard the village chief saying something like "bless the village" and "the immortal master is above".
How could Mu Yu not know this ugly statue? In the past ten years, another child in this village had become an immortal master. The villagers erected a statue for him, saying that they wanted to praise him and make him famous for future generations. Mu Yu never understood what merit this guy had. He just took his parents away and had nothing to do with other people in the village.
"Mu Yu! This is the immortal master from ten years ago. The people in the village have become successful, so naturally we must commemorate them. From now on, old man, I will also build a stone statue for you. What do you think? I will burn incense for you every day. ." After the village elder finished chanting, he turned to Mu Yu and said kindly.
Mu Yu immediately shook his head, how strange this sounds: "Grandpa, stop making trouble, you! You will always be my grandfather, how can a grandfather provide for his grandson?"
"Then we won't erect a stone statue, but what does the old man want to do with you? How about I find someone to draw a portrait of you, hang it up, and burn incense for you every day?" said the village elder, stroking his beard.
Hang a picture and burn incense
Something doesn't seem right, and I can't tell what is wrong.
Their village is located in the mountains. It would take half a day to walk to the town. The mountain roads are rugged, and you have to be wary of some large beasts. Fortunately, several villages near the mountains have jointly opened up a relatively safe and convenient mountain road. Therefore, as long as you don't deviate from the road, the wild beasts in the mountains will not come and cause trouble.
Mu Yu also knows these things. He has also been to the town. Sometimes the hunters in the village need to take their prey to the town to sell when they go hunting. Mu Yu has also played with them in the past, so this road is no stranger to him. The two walked for a while, turned a corner, and suddenly a sturdy middle-aged man emerged from the nearby tree. Mu Yu knew this man, Lao Zhang, who lived by hunting in the village.
"Village chief, do you want to take Xiao Muyu to the town?" Lao Zhang asked with a somewhat wary look, holding a bow with an arrow on it.
"Yeah, what's wrong? You didn't go out hunting early in the morning, how did you end up here?" Village Chief Lao Bu asked. Generally speaking, there are no wild animals here. Hunters go to another mountain to hunt. Plenty of prey.
Lao Zhang put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and then said: "We were hunting a grizzly bear. The grizzly bear was hit by an arrow, and then ran here. I don't know where it went now. Dalang and The two brothers, Erlang, went to chase them, but I will keep guard here to remind everyone not to take this road."
"That's not possible. I have to take Mu Yu to the academy? I can't waste time." If you don't take this route, you can only take a long way around. Village Chief Bu takes the matter of becoming an immortal master seriously, and he won't let it happen because of it. This matter delayed the trip.
"Then I will escort you there. I don't trust you two to walk this way alone." Lao Zhang said.
"No, what if there are villagers walking this road again later? You just stay here and we go on our own." Old Bu waved his hand.
"But you two..." Lao Zhang hesitated.
"What happened to the two of us? After all, I was also a good hunter when I was young. I can handle two bears, let alone one bear." Village Chief Lao Bu has not gone hunting for many years, but he still has experience in the past. Yes, so he doesn't accept old age.
"It's okay, Uncle Zhang, I will take care of the village chief." Mu Yu said with a smile on the side. Although he has never really fought with wild beasts, Mu Yu also learned a lot of experience when everyone chatted, so he is not afraid. .
"Well, then, you have to be careful." Lao Zhang said helplessly.
"I'm taking care of you, let me tell you! You have never really experienced this kind of hunting. It is skillful. To see whether a beast is easy to deal with, you must first look at its eyes. Beasts also have spirituality. A lot can be read from the eyes of the beast..."
Along the way, the village elder kept giving Mu Yu a lot of extra lessons on how to prevent fire, theft, and monsters. Then he talked about ordinary principles of life, such as not being too serious about life. The world outside is dangerous, and you must learn to act based on people's faces. A man can advance or retreat... Muyu knows these things by heart. The village chief often holds lectures in the village when he has nothing to do to popularize common sense about life to the young children. Muyu also likes to go because there are free candies to eat. As for Who knows what the village chief is talking about
The two of them walked for a long time, and there was nothing strange around them. Village Chief Lao Bu continued to talk about his life experience, and he wished he could pour all his knowledge on Mu Yu. Mu Yu smacked his mouth, he was used to it. Ears have calluses.
"So let me tell you, if you have a conflict with others, those who can talk must not use their hands, and those who must use their hands must not use their words. This is the most critical point..." The village elder is still happily trying to fight for his life. All the experience was poured out to Mu Yu. Mu Yu took out his ears, looking quite helpless.
"Then when should we take action? When should we speak?" Mu Yu asked, yawning.
"This involves university knowledge. You have to learn to watch their actions. If the other party is aggressive and unreasonable, then you don't want to talk nonsense and just attack them directly. Anyway..."
"Roar!"
At this moment, a huge grizzly bear suddenly roared and ran over from the end of the mountain road. Every step it stepped on the ground made the ground tremble slightly. This big bear was as tall as two people, and its palm was bigger than Mu Yu's face. It felt like even a piece of iron would be shattered with a slap. There was an arrow stuck in the grizzly bear's chest. Mu Yu recognized it as the bow and arrow they usually used when hunting, and Mu Yu actually encountered it. At this moment, the grizzly bear was still bleeding. When he saw Muyu and the others, an old man and a young man, the grizzly bear also knew that these two people were easier to bully than other hunters, so he immediately ran towards the two of them angrily.
"Grandpa Village Chief, the other party is coming with force and talking nonsense is useless, so should we take action?" Mu Yu said with bright eyes as he geared up his fists.
"You go ahead, there's just a little bear, I'll shoot it and it will kill you. This arrow must have been shot by Erlang. His arrow has no power at all. You have to scold him when you get back!" Village Chief Lao Bu quickly took out something from behind his back. A pocket bow and arrow. This bow and arrow was made by Lao Bu himself. He always carries it with him when he goes out. Even though it is small, it is very lethal!
"Grandpa Village Chief, shoot it in the eyes!" Mu Yu gestured with interest.
"Shoot, shoot your ass! Run, run! I forgot to bring my arrows."
The village chief's expression suddenly changed. He searched all over his body but didn't find an arrow. Maybe he was in a hurry to go out today, or because Mu Yu was so happy to go to school that he forgot about it.
