inside the room.
The furniture and items are actually better than when I lived in Mo Mansion in Dongyang City. The bed is a carved mahogany bed with large patterns, covered with fine cotton padding, and covered with a thin white tiger fur blanket. It feels very comfortable when you go up, and the cover of the quilt is made of smooth light yellow silk, which is unobtrusive but meaningful, in line with the ethereal Taoist atmosphere.
There is also a bronze incense burner in the middle of the house, which is divided into upper and lower floors, with hollow and carved gaps. At this time, some refreshing incense mist is rising continuously. This kind of incense can only be used in the homes of extremely wealthy families. It is made from sandalwood, dried pine, moon dew, gold sand, eight treasures, sunken branches, and other spices and medicinal materials.
Zhao Jiuge took a sip and felt refreshed. The anger in his heart felt much better, and the altar was empty. Next to it is a square table made of old wood, with several old wooden chairs. On the table are tea sets made secretly by the jade porcelain official kiln, and the white calligraphy and paintings hanging on the surrounding walls all look rich, luxurious and tasteful.
Zhao Jiuge, who had lived in his own mud-brick house since he was a child, had never seen such a magnificent facility. Even the Mo Mansion in Dongyang City did not have such good conditions. Not long after, a Taoist boy named Changfeng was carrying a wooden tray. , there is a crescent-colored porcelain plate with blue and white scrolls on it, containing pieces of fragrant osmanthus cake, and there is a jade pot next to it that contains unknown things.
The little beggar looked at the tempting osmanthus cake, smelled the fragrance, and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva. Zhao Jiuge was just about to ask the child in front of him to eat when he found that his hands were bloody and blurred from wrestling just now.
"Go get some medicine and rub it on him." He turned around and ordered Changfeng calmly.
Changfeng, who had just put down the wooden plate, frowned when he heard Zhao Jiuge's words, with an impatient look on his face. When he was about to say something, he seemed to have remembered his master's instructions and changed it abruptly. Say "Yes, I'll get it right now."
Looking at Changfeng's expression, Zhao Jiuge felt that the anger that had just disappeared came back again, his expression was unkind, and he looked like he was about to get angry.
The little beggar first looked at Changfeng's impatient look, lowered his head in inferiority, and did not look at the osmanthus cake again. His expression was gloomy. At this time, he saw Zhao Jiuge looking like he was about to get angry. He sat timidly and reservedly. Then, I don’t dare to move my hands and feet.
The little beggar's thin body and pitiful appearance suddenly touched the softness in his heart. He squatted down and asked kindly, "What is your name?"
His dry lips moved a few times, and he looked at Zhao Jiuge secretly with his eyes. After a long time, he timidly said, "I...I...I don't have a name. From the time I can remember, others call me little beggar."
"What about your parents?" After sighing, Zhao Jiuge continued to ask.
The little beggar pursed his lips, looked lost, shook his head with dim eyes, and said in a voice that was almost inaudible: "I don't know where my parents are, there are no parents."
Zhao Jiuge was very emotional for a while. He didn't know what to say and fell silent. He just sympathized with the little beggar's plight. Changfeng got the medicine, rubbed it all over the little beggar's hands, then looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the table that he had been salivating over, and started eating it. He didn't know how many days he hadn't had a full meal, so he swallowed one piece after another, and was all No time to chew.
He poured a cup of unknown light tea from the jade pot to the little beggar, handed it over and said softly, "Eat slowly, no one will grab it for you. If you don't wait enough, I will ask them to continue."
With his mouth full of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, the little beggar agreed vaguely, then he finally swallowed it, took the porcelain tea cup handed over by Zhao Jiuge and drank it. There was a refreshing fragrance, with a hint of sweetness in the sourness. Then he gave Zhao Jiuge a smile. This was the first time Zhao Jiuge saw a smile in the long time he had been in contact with the little beggar, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
Looking at the little beggar who was wolfing down his food, Zhao Jiuge just smiled faintly, but he was thinking about the child's future future. After thinking about it for a while, he prepared to go to the next room to discuss with Su Su.
"When you finish eating later, you can go to bed early and sleep on the carved mahogany bed." After giving the beggar a few words, he got up and prepared to go to the next room to find Susu.
But the little beggar was just stunned when he heard this, and then he opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Jiuge, motionless.
"It doesn't matter. Be obedient and treat this place like home. I will take you with me when I leave in a few days." Then he comforted the little beggar and then opened the wooden door and walked out.
"Dong dong dong"
The wooden door opened, revealing Su Su's delicate face, which was expressionless at this time. When he saw that the person coming was Zhao Jiuge, he turned around and returned to the room, sitting on the big bed covered with silk.
"Oh, I didn't say anything when I was angry, but you're still angry!" Zhao Jiuge looked at Su Su's face in a funny and angry way.
"Hmph, why are you here? Don't come here to talk to me if you can. A grown man is so petty. He ignored me when I talked to you along the way. Why are you running here with such a face?" Su Su's little face tightened, He said angrily.
At this point, Zhao Jiuge understood why. He couldn't help but smile helplessly, rolled his eyes at Susu, sighed, and then said seriously, "You probably grew up in a privileged family and didn't know the sufferings of the world. For you, It is an insignificant thing to talk about today's fat man letting dogs bully people, but I have been used to being poor since I was a child, but I can't get rid of the sand in my eyes. Just forget Taoist Priest's reaction today, why are you like this? I'm so disappointed." After finishing speaking, Zhao Jiuge pretended to shake his head.
Susu's tense face slowly softened after hearing the previous words of Zhao Jiuge, but when she heard the last sentence, she frowned, looked at Zhao Jiuge with an unkind look and shouted, "What's wrong with me! Am I indifferent to good and evil? It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad. I'm just angry that you shouldn't have said that today. I said it to your face. You still don't bother to pay attention to me. You can ignore people when you are angry, but I should pay attention to you when I am angry!" A few words She has returned to her sweet and savage nature, like a furious little lioness.
Zhao Jiuge sighed exaggeratedly, shook his head and said helplessly, "Forget it, you don't understand what the world is like for us poor children."
Su Su glanced at Zhao Jiuge, and then asked tentatively, "What were you like when you were a child? You haven't told me about your family situation after we've known each other for so long."
"There's nothing to say. I was abandoned by my parents on the official road since I was a child. I was kindly picked up and raised by an old man. Although my life was poor and poor, I lived happily. It's just that this year the old man passed away due to a serious illness." The voice was calm, as if As if he was telling something that had nothing to do with him, Zhao Jiuge's dark eyes became deep at this time.
As Zhao Jiuge narrated, Su Su's anger gradually dissipated. Women are born with a maternal love complex. After hearing Zhao Jiuge's tragic life experience, her mood became heavy.
The candlelight in the room swayed gently, illuminating the two figures. After a long period of relative silence, Su Su asked softly, "You can go home with me then."
"What! No need, I still have to find a disciple to become my disciple." He was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing and shook his head violently.
Hearing Zhao Jiuge's words, Susu felt like a bolt from the blue, and looked a little anxious. She continued to ask without giving up, "How about you come back with me? There will still be people to guide you in your cultivation, and there will be plenty of resources."
Zhao Jiuge thought about Su Su's words in his heart for a long time, thinking about why he embarked on this path, for the desire for strength, and the woman he met in Hanshui Pond! After a while, he gently shook his head.
Su Su's mouth was bitter and she smiled self-deprecatingly, while she kept cursing the wooden person in front of her in her heart!
After rejecting Su Su, Zhao Jiuge felt a little embarrassed and laughed dryly, "Su Su, what do you do at home? Tell me about your situation."
Su Su was not angry or unreasonable at this time, but her voice was cold and her expression was as calm as a wave of spring water, without any waves. "You're not going anyway, I won't tell you." Hearing this, Zhao Jiuge smiled awkwardly.
"Since you won't go back with me, what are your plans for the future." Then Su Su's cold words sounded again. Although a girl was too reserved to go in and talk to Zhao Jiuge, she still felt a little unbearable in her heart and couldn't help but ask.
After scratching his head, Zhao Jiuge thought for a while, "I'll go as far as the capital and find a sect to become a disciple. I'll see which sect needs to accept a disciple. By the way, what will happen to that child in the future?"
Unexpectedly, Su Su's expression became even colder this time. She stood up and was about to push Zhao Jiuge out, "That's your own business. You can handle it yourself. It's getting late. You can go back and rest." He didn't even look at it. Looking at Zhao Jiuge, his face was as frosty as ice.
Zhao Jiuge, who was kicked out of the house, felt helpless. He couldn't figure it out, and the woman's heart was at a loss.
In the room, the candlelight on the table was still swaying, and the light still couldn't melt Susu's frost-like face.
Susu sat quietly on the bed alone, thinking about Zhao Jiuge's words just now, as if they were still echoing in her ears.
"No, I have to find a disciple."
"I will find a sect to be my disciple when the time comes. I'll see which sect wants to accept a disciple."
Every word kept echoing in my ears. Not only did his face become cold, but his heart began to feel cold. The moment Zhao Jiuge became a disciple, his family background was destined to not be able to be with Zhao Jiuge again. After getting along with him for many days, Zhao Jiuge's The figure has been kept in my heart for a long time, but what should I do when faced with this stick of wood
Outside the door, Zhao Jiuge saw that Su Su was serious and returned to his room with a lot of thoughts. Didn't he not understand what Su Su meant? Is it just that a grown man would follow Su Su back like this? He still There are many things to do, and there is still a vague figure in my heart. I smile to myself, shake my head, bury this feeling in my heart, and be determined. When I am successful in cultivation, I will talk about feelings again. Now What qualifications do you have to say this!
