Ancient Assassin Meets Modern-day Career Woman

Chapter 53: subversion

Views:

Yesterday, we had to make do with it. There is no way to deal with it in the neatly tidied yard today.

Twenty-seven took one look at the hut in the Taoist temple and knew that Ruan Qing would rather suffocate to death than go in there.

He simply dug a hole in the corner of the yard with a shovel and put up two wooden boards as treads. Then two broken cabinets were moved out of the collapsed building to serve as enclosures.

Exclusively for Ruan Qing.

When Ruan Qing saw this toilet, he even thought that getting married was not impossible.

Who doesn’t want to marry someone who is virtuous, capable, can cook, take care of others, repair everything at home, and is emotionally stable

If Twenty-Seven could get pregnant and have a baby, men would probably line up to marry him, let alone Ruan Qing.

There was no signal again in the morning. Twenty-seven flew out with Ruan Qing and ran to a peak quite far away, where there was a signal.

Ruan Qing called Ruan Xiangyun, but there seemed to be a quarrel over there

Ruan Qing: "Uncle Xiangyun? What's wrong?"

Ruan Xiangyun said: "My father must go!"

"No." Ruan Xiangyun said, "As soon as he heard that he found the Savage Temple, he went crazy."

He originally spoke Mandarin with Ruan Qing, but Grandpa Seven started arguing with Ruan Qing next to him in his native dialect, which also gave him a native flavor.

The phone suddenly went silent.

The traces of handwork are obvious, making Twenty-Seven's existence look more realistic.

Ruan Qing hung up the phone and complained: "My seventh grandfather is so old, but he still insists on coming here because he wants to see the Taoist temple. When he was a child, he went into the mountains alone several times carrying a big cake. Once he finished eating the cake and got lost. I got out of the mountains by digging yams and eating wild fruits.”

When encountering a ravine in the mountains, it is best to build a bridge. If there is no bridge, a rope can be tied at both ends so that people can climb over it.

"Then can he come?" she asked, "It's quite far from here."

Ruan Qing actually thinks that the word "Saponia" is fine. Shen Nianqi felt bad when she looked at it, and Zaojiao herself said that her handwriting was ugly.

She told Ruan Xiangyun about the rope.

Ruan Xiangyun seemed to have conveyed it to Uncle Seven.

Ruan Qing said: "For this group of people, some people are born with good calligraphy. Just let nature take its course. If you go too far, it will easily reveal your flaws."

People in the past had very high requirements for "words".

Twenty-seven also praised Na Mo: "This is good."

In fact, Ruan Qing didn't need to ask for this. Ruan Xiangyun would ask if there was a quilt just because he knew the situation in the mountains.

Ruan Qing: "..."

Okay, I'm being pretentious.

Ruan Qing: "Okay."

Indeed, the noisy noise over there was Uncle Qi's loud voice. When he gets anxious, he talks in platitudes.

You must come and see it.

"?" Ruan Qing, "Seventh Grandpa?"

Although they are distant relatives, they are still connected by blood. Ruan Qing felt guilty and moved, and hurriedly said: "Tell Grandpa Qi that nothing happened to me. My ankle is much better. I can walk normally, as long as I don't run."

"No." Ruan Qing complained, "There is a house. I sleep on hay and cover myself with rags. It's very cold in the mountains. You must wear thick clothes if you stay here overnight."

Ruan Qing: "?" I don't know what's good about it.

"No, he's a young man." Ruan Qing inoculated Grandpa Seven. "That man passed away back then and was buried in the temple. Grandpa Seven can see it when he comes."

Twenty-seven praised: "You are right. Too much is not enough, and the biggest flaw is that there are no flaws everywhere. Thank you for your meticulousness."

But this bought more time for Nian Qi and Ruan Qing.

"You don't need any medicine, just rest and you'll be fine. By the way, toilet paper! Bring some toilet paper!" Ruan Qing thought about it and said quickly, "Others, well, I'm worried that you might not be able to go back the same day when you come. My feet will probably not be able to walk on the mountain road tomorrow. . You have to bring food. There is mountain spring water to drink.”

Pens, ink, paper and inkstones were all laid out.

The obsession I had back then is still there.

The other side agreed: "We'll leave now!"

"It's okay, let's spend the night in the mountains. What's there? Are there any quilts?" Ruan Xiangyun asked.

Twenty-seven took out all the book boxes and brought the scriptures into the main hall. After playing with them for a while, he looked at them again. It really felt like there was a person who often moved, read and studied here.

Whether it was made when everyone was around or later when Zaojiao was alone, in short it was not made in batches by a professional Four Treasures of the Study merchant.

Ruan Xiangyun said: "It's possible, but it will be slower."

She knew that he was suspected of flattering her, but she just found it pleasing to her ears and felt comfortable.

Ruan Qing: "..."

Ruan Xiangyun agreed, and while the signal was good, he quickly asked: "Who is that person you met? An old Taoist priest? My father asked me to ask."

Ruan Qing remembered: "By the way, bring some salt or something. He has no salt here."

Twenty-seven said: "It looks like I did it myself."

After a while, Ruan Xiangyun asked again: "Do you need anything else? Do you need medicine?"

Twenty-seven also copied a few pages of scripture and said, "I should make the handwriting a bit uglier."

What's going on? Why are humans such shallow creatures

"Let's go back." Twenty-seven picked her up.

Obviously it takes more effort to hug than to carry, and it takes more energy to fly than to run.

But Twenty-Seven just wanted to hold Ruan Qingfei. I want to fulfill Ruan Qing’s martial arts dream!

Ruan Qing was extremely satisfied.

After returning to the Taoist temple, he kissed Nian Qi on the lips as soon as he landed on the ground.

But he was not allowed to kiss her twenty-seven times because the beard was too prickly. Twenty-seven choked.

According to the communication with Ruan Qing, Ruan Xiangyun and the others did not carry the sliding pole this time, but brought several bundles of ropes. I brought thick clothes and a few quilts, as well as food and water.

I brought medicated oil to Ruan Qing, the salt and toilet paper she asked for.

Uncle Qi found a stick and punched it on the ground, like a tiger blocking the road: "I have to go! I won't be able to kick my legs without fear until I see it with my own eyes!" Uncle Qi also wanted to realize his dream.

All right.

Ruan Xiangyun and his party entered the mountain.

As long as there is another signal on the road, send Ruan Qing their location so that Ruan Qing knows where they are, don't worry.

Along the way, following Ruan Qingfa's direction, it was already afternoon when we finally reached the ditch.

The ditch was not very wide, maybe seven or eight meters wide, but this width could stop humans from moving forward. You must know that the world long jump record is only eight or nine meters.

It is very deep, and in some places it is completely empty. You can see the bottom of the mountain, almost a cliff.

In fact, it is a crack in the mountain range. Viewed from a high altitude, it is just a small crack in the earth.

But for humans, it is an insurmountable chasm for individuals.

Uncle Qi turned around several times, and finally said with great certainty: "I've been here! I've been here!"

He was heartbroken! It turns out that I found the right path back then! It's blocked here!

The villagers looked at the cliff and found some piles buried in the ground: "There was a bridge in the past, and it was cut down."

The piles had neat cross-sections, and at first glance they looked like tools such as axes and hatchets, which had been damaged by humans. It is not damaged by natural corrosion.

"Yes! There is a bridge!" Uncle Qi was filled with hatred and regret, and beat his chest angrily. "The old people in the village used to say that there was a suspension bridge. My grandfather also went to Guanli in the past. The masters in Guanli are better at treating patients than doctors! Doctors! If the disease cannot be cured, the villagers will carry it to the temple! The Taoist priests will treat the disease for free! They will also give away evil spirits before leaving!"

"I kept looking for that bridge and couldn't find it! I thought I was looking for the wrong way!"

It turns out not.

He found it at least twice, but the bridge was gone.

Some people did not want to communicate with the outside world anymore and destroyed the bridge. He didn't even just destroy one side, which was enough to simply break the bridge and make it unusable, he destroyed both sides.

The pile was hidden in the weeds and blocked. When people came here later, they only saw the ravine. Not only did they have no way to go, but they also couldn't find the right direction.

Later, even the traces of the "road" trodden by people were gradually swallowed up by nature and disappeared.

This is where the rope comes in handy.

Ruan Qing said that it should be enough if the root is not shorter than 26 meters. But there is no shortage of this stuff in the mountain village. Ruan Xiangyun and the others brought more than one bundle, and the length was sufficient.

He immediately put down his things, took off the rope from his body, and made a looper. Swing it up, aim at a rock on the opposite side and throw it out.

It's a pity that I couldn't reach it after throwing it several times.

The person who threw the rope was recognized as a strong person. He swung it a few times and his arm was sore. When someone else tried it, it was even worse.

Uncle Seven was even angry: "It's no use!"

Now that life is better, people's bodies are not as good as those in the past in all aspects.

When Uncle Qi was a child, he had to carry a load down the mountain to fetch water. He was very physically weak, so he dared to go into the mountains at a young age and stay there for several days.

Now the government has built a road to the entrance of the village. Villagers ride electric donkeys when they go out. There are pressurized wells for drinking water and water pumps for watering the fields.

Of course, their physical fitness is still far behind the people in the city, but it is really incomparable to those of Uncle Seventh's generation and those before it.

As technology advances, humanity degrades.

Just when everyone was saying, "Take a break and try again," suddenly a girl's voice was heard from the other side shouting: "Uncle Xiangyun! Grandpa Seven!"

Everyone who had just squatted stood up and looked over.

Someone is coming from the other side.

A man wearing a Taoist robe and a Taoist bun. His clothes are torn and his beard is unkempt.

He seemed to be walking, his pace was very steady, but his speed was extremely fast. Before the villagers stood up and looked around, he had already reached the edge of the cliff.

He was also carrying Ruan Qing on his back.

Ruan Qing waved all the way, and when she reached the edge of the cliff, she got down to the ground, said hello across the ravine, and asked the other side: "Can you make it?"

Ruan Xiangyun was worried: "I tried several times, but it didn't work."

If you can't hang a rope to get across, you have to take a detour. I don’t know how long this gap in the ground is. In the mountainous terrain, it is possible to go around for tens of miles or hundreds of miles on the ground.

Ruan Qing said: "Uncle, stand back and get out of the way."

Ruan Xiangyun: "?"

Ruan Xiangyun was about to ask "What are you doing" when he saw the man in ragged clothes suddenly flying up.

He's flying! ! ! !

There was silence between heaven and earth.

It seemed like it went into slow motion for just a few seconds.

Everyone's eyes were focused on that person, and a large aperture and depth-of-field blur filter were automatically added. Uncle Qi opened his mouth wide.

And Party Secretary Ruan... is a staunch materialist, a good cadre of the country, and a firm believer in communism. The understanding of the world he learned in the nine-year compulsory education since childhood has been overturned!
