Chapter 129 First Encounter
Chapter 129 First Meeting
Hearing that he had been in a coma for more than ten days, Zhang Xiaohua thought to himself that the attack on the rainy night was still vivid in his mind. I don’t know what happened to Ou Yan and the others. The old man in black probably was killed by him, but was the person who came later really the support of the Piaomiao Sect? Ruth Ou Yan and the others escaped, and they must be looking for him. The past ten days have passed, and I don’t know where they have found it?
I was just about to ask the master where this is, but I didn’t know where I fell into the water, and I didn’t know how far I drifted along the river. What’s the use of asking?
So, Zhang Xiaohua had no choice but to force herself to cheer up, looked at the master and whispered: "Thank you for your life-saving kindness."
The master touched his forehead and smiled and said, "This child is really sensible. If you want to save your life, you have to thank this girl first. If she hadn't caught you, you wouldn't know where to drift to now."
"Catch it up?" Zhang Xiaohua was stunned, and then she thought of the fishing rod she saw the little girl holding just now. She immediately realized that she looked at the little girl next to her with gratitude and said softly: "That's also thanking the girl for her life-saving grace."
The little girl smiled faintly and said, "You're welcome, I just saw you. I took you out and fed you medicine and other things, but it was all the credit of the Master. I dare not take credit for it."
Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while and said, "No matter what, I have to thank the teacher and the girl for their kindness."
Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was a little tired, the master said, "Okay, since you are awake, let's take care of them slowly. I will say all these words later. Let's sleep for a while."
After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua nodded slightly. After saying a few words, she felt bored and wanted to sleep. After listening to the teacher's instructions, she quietly closed her eyes and fell asleep soon after.
When Zhang Xiaohua woke up again, it was already evening. With the help of the little girl, Zhang Xiaohua struggled to eat something, and then she became a little energetic.
Not long after, the master returned. Seeing Zhang Xiaohua wake up, she was in good spirits and was filled with joy.
The master helped Zhang Xiaohua to sit up, and then placed the bedding behind him, and then placed him leaning on the bedding on his back, so the three of them started talking.
The master of the teacher naturally asked about Zhang Xiaohua's origin. Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while and said, "Master, my name is Zhang Xiaohua. He is a farmer who helps people's Chinese medicine fields. This time he went to the south with the owner and the others to do something. Halfway through the way, he was attacked by a villain at night. I was beaten into the river by an old man in black. What kind of villa is there and the owner's name. When he left the mansion, someone specifically told me that he should not disclose his whereabouts. I don't know their specific whereabouts now, but I think it's better to keep the promise, so I won't tell the master of the teacher. Do you think it's okay?"
The Master actually didn't mean to ask the bottom line. He just asked, seeing Zhang Xiaohua keeping his promises so much, he was also happy. He had been walking in the world for so many years and it was rare to see a few such simple children. Of course, the Master did not mean to be embarrassed by Zhang Xiaohua. The Master was about to speak, but the little girl next to him laughed out loud and said, "Xiaohua, your name sounds nice, why does it look like a girl's name? Xiaohua, Xiaohua, reminds me of the little white flower on the top of the mountain."
This is the second time that Zhang Xiaohua heard someone say his name is fun. However, when she saw the little girl smiling like a flower, she couldn't feel any disgust. She just said weakly: "I don't think there is anything wrong with the name given by my parents. Then, what's your name?"
This was an extremely ordinary sentence, but when I heard the little girl's ears, it immediately looked like a thunderbolt, and the little girl's face turned pale.
She bit her lip and endured the tears. In the smug look of the master, she said, "I don't know what my name is. I seem to have forgotten everything, but I remember everything, but I just can't remember it. My previous life seemed to be in a dream, and I couldn't say it clearly."
The master sighed and said, "I met her in the barren mountains some time ago. She was also unconscious at that time. When she woke up, she forgot about the past and didn't even know what she called her."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "The Master is such a good person. This series of people saved me and this little sister. It has immeasurable merit. By the way, my little sister, since I used to be in a dream, I am now waking up and having a new life. I should be happy. I don't have a name, but I can start it again. I think no matter whether it is a dream or not, I can only leave a true heart. Why not just call you a dream, okay?"
When the girl heard this, her eyes lit up and she smiled and said, "Dream, it's good, all living beings dream, I'm no exception. From now on, I'll be called a dream. Haha, thank you, Zhang Xiaohua."
The master touched his hands and said, "Yes, Zhang Xiaohua, you think you are a scholar, why do you plant a medicinal field?"
Zhang Xiaohua said embarrassedly: "My family was poor since childhood. I was not smart when I was young, so my father didn't ask me to study. I have studied a lot during this period, so I know some things. Xiao Meng saved me, and giving me a name can be considered a good relationship."
Then, Zhang Xiaohua said embarrassedly: "I haven't hired a teacher too well yet, so I can remember it in my heart, and I can repay you in the future."
The teacher smiled and said, "Actually, you are not a person in the world, so it's okay for me to tell you, but for some reason, you can only remember my name Jingxuan. And it is best to remember the matter in your heart and not tell others about it."
Zhang Xiaohua said solemnly: "I know, Master Jingxuan, everyone has their own privacy and secrets, and we should give each other some space. Master does not blame me, I am already happy. I will treat Master Zheng's affairs as well."
Master Jingxuan smiled and said, "What Zhang Xiaohua said makes sense. The ancients said it was good. If you take a step back, the sky will be wide open. But how many people can understand it? If you really understand, how much blood can be missing in this world? Unfortunately, the world is the place where fists are talking about. If your fists are hard, it is based on the truth, and you don't care about other people's privacy and secrets. Zhang Xiaohua, I hope that when you grow up, you can remember what you say today and do what you say."
Zhang Xiaohua bowed and said, "I understand, Master, I will try my best."
The three of them talked for a while. Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was tired, Master Jingxuan asked him to rest and pulled Xiaomeng out.
In the next few days, Master Jingxuan still went out early and came back late, and Zhang Xiaohua's injuries also recovered rapidly. Master Jingxuan was very surprised. She had personally examined Zhang Xiaohua's injuries, which was a serious abnormality. According to her idea, she had to take care of them for several months. So she kept thinking about how to deal with this matter. Now it seems that Zhang Xiaohua's work in the past ten days can be better than others for one or two months. Is it really because her pills are effective, or is it that Zhang Xiaohua is young and easy to recover?
Looking at the Master's surprised look, Zhang Xiaohua also thought about the injury of her elder brother that day. Didn't Zhang Xiaolong recover quickly after the internal injury last year? At that time, everyone thought it was the reason for the spring water that he drank at home. It has been almost a year since he came out and has not drunk the spring water for a long time. Could it be that it was because of drinking spring water before? Spring water can cure internal injuries. Just think about this kind of thing. If it is said, it is said that it is a problem with the head for no reason, so Zhang Xiaohua can only keep silent.
In fact, why did Zhang Xiaohua fall into a coma for more than ten days? Naturally, the wound is repaired independently in her body. The longer the coma is, the better it will be. Now that she wakes up, the better the injury will be. Of course, it will take a long time to get better. Zhang Xiaohua doesn’t know these things, and Master Jingxuan doesn’t know either. However, it doesn’t matter whether you know or not. After all, Zhang Xiaohua is better in one day.
On that day, Zhang Xiaohua and Xiaomeng were still there in the cottage. Zhang Xiaohua could already walk down the ground and slowly moved to the front of the cottage. Outside the cottage, there was a warm sunshine, which made Zhang Xiaohua warm. Xiaomeng stopped fishing, threw the fishing rod aside, and sat down and asked Zhang Xiaohua: "Brother Xiaohua, where is your home? Who are there at home? Can you tell me? I will keep the secret for you and not tell others."
Zhang Xiaohua looked at the face of Meng Ruyu in the sunshine and smiled, saying, "This is something to be said, there is nothing to keep secret. My family lives in Guozhuang, a small village in Lu Town. However, don't ask me where Lu Town is. I have never seen any maps and can't explain them clearly. My family now has father and mother, elder brother and sister-in-law. My second brother and I came out to make a living. I used to have a grandmother who was very nice to me. She just passed away last year." When talking about grandmother, Zhang Xiaohua remembered a lot of things.
So he told Xiaomeng about the matters he started to open up land, digging wells last year, as well as going to the market during the Chinese New Year, meeting bullies, and rescuing Liu Qian. Finally, he talked about the elder brother's marriage, meeting bandits from Xicui Mountain, and his grandmother died at his elder brother's wedding. He talked for a whole morning. In the end, it was not only Zhang Xiaohua's tears of sadness, but even Xiaomeng was crying when he heard it, feeling sad about the experience of Zhang Xiaohua's family, and Zhang Xiaohua's dear grandmother's death.
Xiao Meng looked at Zhang Xiaohua enviously and said, "Brother Xiaohua, you have a harmonious and loving home. I really envy you. I don't know where my home is, and I don't know where to look for it."
Zhang Xiaohua comforted her and said, "Everyone has a home, so do you. Maybe I don't know how to find it now, but it doesn't mean that there is no such home. I believe that you will definitely find your own home, your father and mother in the future. Moreover, Master Jingxuan is not very nice to you now, and he loves you like his mother."
Xiao Meng smiled and said, "Xiaohua, you are right. I must have a home, and it must be the same as you. There are many stories about homes, and my family is also in love with each other. When I remember it or find it, I will tell you, okay?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "No problem, Xiaomeng, I believe I will wait until the day you told me. Moreover, if I have the chance in the future, I am willing to invite you to our Guozhuang. My father, mother, and my elder brother and sister-in-law will like you very much."
Xiao Meng also smiled, smiling like a flower, instantly fading away the slightly cold shell just now. Perhaps, this is the true temperament of a teenage girl. At this moment, Xiao Meng just wanted to stretch out her hand to hook up with the boy who was still recovering from the wounded, but she just stretched out her hand halfway, but she thought that this was just a young game. Now she might not be suitable for her age. A touch of bright redness flew on her face and she quickly put away her hand.
The young man in front of him looked extremely ordinary and his face was pale, but he was the first playmate in his memory. Although this playmate was probably lying on the sickbed, the home he mentioned gave Xiaomeng perfect expectations. Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua's home, Zhang Xiaohua's people, and Zhang Xiaohua's things all left a very deep impression on Xiaomeng.
Master Jingxuan gave her elders care, but Zhang Xiaohua gave her companions joy.
Maybe this is called "fate"?
The sun is shining and the rivers are gurgling. There may be stories of joys and sorrows happening every day. However, at this day, it is the boys and girls next to the cottage. Only with support and trust can there be hope and future.
That night, Master Jingxuan came back very late and looked extremely tired. However, Zhang Xiaohua and Xiao Meng have never been nosy people, so they didn't ask much.
The next day, Master Jingxuan did not go out in an abnormal manner, but called Zhang Xiaohua and Xiaomeng to the Caotang.
Zhang Xiaohua had a premonition.
Sure enough, Master Jingxuan first checked Zhang Xiaohua's injuries, and then said: "Zhang Xiaohua, your injuries are stable and there is no big problem. Just rest in the future."
Zhang Xiaohua quickly bowed and said, "This is all the credit of the Master. Thank you very much."
Master Jingxuan smiled and said, "You are still so polite. I have lived together for more than ten days. I regard you as my nephew. I will not mention it if I thank you. However, this year is approaching, and I can no longer delay here. I will set off to return to our sect's residence tomorrow. Xiao Meng is going to follow me. What about you? What are your plans?"
Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while and asked, "Master, what do you think I should do?"
Master Jingxuan said, "Your injury is not a big deal. You can barely follow us. There may be changes on the way, but with me here, it will not be too serious. I can put you in the nearest market town, and then you can make your own plans, find a way back, or recuperate in the market town. It is OK."
Zhang Xiaohua asked again: "Then, Master, I want to ask again, Xiaomeng, what are you planning to arrange?"
Master Jingxuan smiled and said, "Where is Xiaomeng, I plan to bring it back to the sect first. Her qualifications are average and she is old. Although she is not suitable for practicing martial arts, it is still not difficult to accept her as my identity. Not to mention practicing peerless martial arts, she can have the ability to protect herself and live a stable life in the future."
Xiao Meng has always been worried about her future, but she is not very arrogant and sometimes she is lazy to ask. This time she saw Zhang Xiaohua ask for her, and Master Jingxuan was so thoughtful that she couldn't help but have a red eye. She walked to Master, pulled her sleeve, and said, "Master Master, thank you."
Master Jingxuan's loving negative Xiaomeng said, "Xiaomeng, meeting you is also my fate. Look at you now, you have the shadow of me back then. Since I have some ability to take care of you, I am naturally willing to help you. This world may not be conspiracy, bloody and warmth, but also there are."
Xiao Meng nodded, nodded.
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, there was such a good thing and shouted: "Master, you should accept one apprentice, and two apprentice are also accepted. Why not just take me into your subordinates too?"
Master Jingxuan smiled and said, "Although our sect has male disciples, it has never been personally passed on, and male disciples have all joined the outer sect. I cannot accept male disciples. If you are willing to go to our sect, I can consider finding someone to accept you. However, you are old and have passed the best period of martial arts, so this martial art may not be able to be successful."
Zhang Xiaohua felt cold. Why did these masters make this argument? Forget it. Thinking about Ou Yan’s promise, he still said a little disheartenedly: “I just want the master to teach me. If it’s someone else, then forget it.”
Master Jingxuan said, "Your child can join my sect, even if you are an outer disciple, the requirements are extremely high." However, she did not want to say the name of the sect, nor did she want to force Zhang Xiaohua, so she stopped talking.
Zhang Xiaohua said again: "Master, I thought about it, and I will not go to the nearest market town with you. You said just now, there are still some problems. One is afraid that if there is any change, it will affect your plan. Two, take me with you, it will also affect your itinerary. I will stay here to recuperate. Besides, this place is based on the river. Maybe my companions will find this place in the past few days. If I leave, wouldn't I miss it again?"
Master Jingxuan was silent for a moment and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, what you said makes sense. It is better to be quiet than a movement. You should rest here. It is very safe around here and you have enough food. It is enough for you to celebrate the New Year. By the way, I will tell you the route to the town later. Don't get lost until the end."
After saying that, Master Jingxuan told Zhang Xiaohua in detail the route from Caotang to the town, and then took out some silver from his arms and left it to Zhang Xiaohua. Then he took Xiaomeng out to pack up their own things.
Maybe it was the last time I spent with Master Jingxuan and Xiao Meng. Zhang Xiaohua felt that it was extremely fast. Unconsciously, it was evening. The sunset was falling and the light red hanged on the west mountain. Zhang Xiaohua held her cheeks and sat alone by the river. At this time, Xiao Meng quietly walked over.
Xiao Meng was also sitting by the river like Zhang Xiaohua, with one hand behind her back, looking at the sun in the distance, and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Zhang Xiaohua said: "I was thinking that the ancients said good things, the sunset was infinitely beautiful, but it was near dusk, and this beautiful time was always short."
Xiao Meng was also depressed and said, "It is precisely because of the short term that is beautiful. If it lasts for a long time, it will be boring."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Xiao Meng is right. We have only been together for more than ten days, so we naturally feel good. If it were more than ten years, what would happen?"
Xiao Meng's face was a little red. I wonder if it was Zhang Xiaohua's unintentional statement, or if she heard it, or if it was the reflection of the sunset?
Chapter completed!
