Chapter thirteen is the most youthful lovesickness
The early morning sunshine in Lingzhou is a bit dazzling. Of course, it may also be because I got up too early.
At this time, Jiang Ergou still had two dark circles under his eyes. He didn't know if it was because he was too excited last night and didn't sleep.
Everyone in the escort agency had already gotten up and was packing their luggage in silence.
Everyone knows that today is the day to set off back to Yuzhou. But after spending a long time with the master and disciples they met on the road, they really feel a little reluctant to part with them.
"Two dogs."
Qin Yi called Jiang Ergou and waved to him, signaling him to come over.
"Brother Qin, what's the matter?"
"Er Gou, thanks to your and Senior Wang's care these days, we, the Justice Escort Agency, can complete this business smoothly."
As Qin Yi spoke, he put his hand into his arms.
"This is a two-hundred-tael banknote. I know that neither you nor Senior Wang are people who are greedy for money. Don't be too short on this money."
"Brother Qin, you are too polite. We agreed at the beginning that you would only be responsible for food and accommodation. You can't ask for this money!"
"Er Gou, when traveling around the world, it is always good to have some money with you. If nothing else, you will always need food and accommodation."
"Brother Qin, I really can't ask for this money. Master and I are traveling this time just to experience the ups and downs of the world. We can only walk this road ourselves!"
Perhaps because Ergou's tone of voice was too strong, Qin Yi did not persist this time.
"Well... well, since you said so, Ergou, I won't force it."
Then, Qin Yi took the banknote back.
Seeing the banknotes being taken back, Jiang Ergou felt that he had been deceived again and was heartbroken.
That's not right! Doesn't the novel say that such a gift of money must be evaded "three times"! Brother Qin, please try again! I'll take it again.
Jiang Ergou thought to himself secretly, and couldn't help but feel a little angry that he had to suffer to save face.
However, in the end, Jiang Ergou couldn't muster up the courage to say the words that asked Brother Qin to persuade him again. He could only lament in his heart: Brother Qin, I didn't expect that you, an old Jianghu, don't play by the rules.
!
…
Outside Luochuan City, the business of small stalls and hawkers is still booming. The scene of the master and apprentice bidding farewell to everyone in the escort agency did not attract too many people's attention. After all, outside Luochuan City, the scene that is seen most every day is
Various separations.
"Two dogs, Senior Wang. We are separated this time, and I don't know when we will see each other again. If you have the opportunity to return to Yuzhou and Maple Leaf City in the future, please be sure to come to our Justice Escort Agency."
"Yeah." Ergou nodded slightly after hearing this, finally feeling a bit of the Jianghu flavor.
"Brother Qin, the mountains are high and the rivers are long, and the journey is long. You must be careful when you go there."
Alas! Judging from the format of this sentence, I guess I also memorized it from a storybook!
"Okay, okay. Xiao Qin, don't talk to Ergouzi. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave today. I've sent you a thousand miles away, and I still need to say goodbye. Besides, I'm a Jianghu person, where can I go?
We won’t meet each other. My master and apprentice have no fixed place of residence. Maybe they will go to Maple Leaf City that day, so there will be a chance to meet again.”
The old man is an old man after all, and in this situation, he is always more reliable than Ergou.
Qin Yi nodded.
"Then, Ergou, Senior Wang, take your leave now!"
After saying that, he no longer hesitated and led the convoy to turn around and leave.
When Qin Nuxia passed by Er Gou, her smile from last night had long disappeared and became cold again. Fortunately, she finally left two words for Er Gou.
"gone!"
The girl left, and the young man's soul also drifted away with her. Ergou was stupid, he just smiled, and other than that, he just nodded towards her.
Of course, relying on the few words that Ergou learned from the old man who needed to read martial arts secret books, it would be difficult for him to say such words as "It's just because you are returning home, and I will miss you day and night from now on."
He did.
What's more, even if he could say it, the girl might not like to hear it!
As the master and apprentice began to look away, the motorcade also gradually moved away, almost disappearing in front of Ergou and the old man.
Suddenly, a voice came back. It was none other than Qin Yi.
"Er Gou, when I talked about Jianghu with you, there was actually a sentence I couldn't say. Now that I'm leaving, I want to take this opportunity to tell you."
"Er Gou, you have to remember, never lose confidence in this world. Because, in this world, there are many people like you and Senior Wang. I can always see that there are very few people in this world.
The real atmosphere of Jianghu!"
"Ergou, if one day I can put down the responsibility of the escort agency, I will definitely come to you and walk the world with you!"
Facing Qin Yi's affectionate farewell, Ergou ignored it, but finally summoned up the courage to say the words that he had been unable to say from last night to this morning.
"Qin Xuejian, you must wait for me! I will definitely take you to do heroic things!"
Ergou ignored Qin Yi, but the old man replied to him.
"Xiao Qin, your boxing level is actually sufficient. The reason why you failed to break through to the third level is because of your state of mind. If one day, you can truly know who your boxing is for, you will be able to enter
It’s the third grade.”
Qin Yi was not angry that Ergou ignored him, but laughed.
"Thank you, Senior Wang, for your advice, Ergou, I'm waiting for you to come to Yuzhou and be my brother-in-law!"
"Er Gou, you must come! I, Li Yao, keep my word. When you come to Maple Leaf City, I will take you to drink the best rice wine!"
When Li Yao's voice came, the convoy really disappeared.
In fact, Ergou still had one sentence that he could not say.
"Brother Qin, I have not lost confidence in this world. I didn't before and I won't in the future. Not only because there are people like me and Master in the world, but also because there are many people like you, Brother Qin, who are running around for life.
People, in my eyes, your life and experience are the world!"
…
At night, the moonlight shone into the courtyard. The master and the apprentice, who had been busy for a long time, felt unaccustomed to suddenly returning to the lives of two people.
The two of them lay together in the yard, without the noise of the escort agency, and without Qin Nuxia's coldness. This life is really boring!
"Er Gou, at first, I thought it was the first time you met a woman like Miss Qin, and you couldn't help but flirt with her out of curiosity. But now, I can't tell. Tell me the truth.
But do you really like Miss Qin?"
Regarding this question, Jiang Ergou did not rush to answer. The old man did not rush him either. He just let him think quietly for a long time!
"Actually, I don't know if I like Miss Qin. To me, Miss Qin is a heroine who only exists in picture novels. Really, when I was in the mountain stream, I could only imagine that I could enter
After this world, the heroine who originally only existed in imagination has come into reality, so naturally, I want to get close to her."
After the young man finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something again and added something.
"The other thing is, I'm thinking about Li Yao's meal of the best rice wine in Maple Leaf City."
After finishing speaking, Ergou fell silent, as if he was secretly comparing himself. Did he approach Miss Qin because he liked her more? Or did he want to drink more rice wine?
After a while, Ergou seemed to have regained his composure before speaking again.
"Old man, you have a lot of experience. Let me ask you a question. What does it mean to like someone?"
The old man was also not in a hurry to answer. After all, it was such a big deal to like someone, and even his experience in the world was not enough for him to immediately answer Ergou's question.
The old man closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and suddenly remembered that when he was young and drinking with friends, he once played a word-solving game. Among them, there happened to be the answer to the word "love".
Love: The heart is on the left, and youth is on the right. When you are young, your heart is easily moved, which means that love is deeply rooted!
Then, he remembered the answer to another word 'read' when he was drinking.
Thought: You are still in my heart today and will never be forgotten.
With his thoughts at this point, the old man spoke softly.
"Ergou, you have to know that there are so many words in this world. But it is difficult to write the word love and it is difficult to connect. How do you really like someone? Master needs to ask you a few questions first.
."
"How did you feel after Miss Qin left?"
For some reason, the conversation between the master and the disciple tonight was always a bit heavy. There was no relaxed atmosphere like before. Maybe both of them had something hidden in their hearts!
"lost"
Ergou pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"That's right. For some people, if you can't tell whether you like them or not, just based on your feelings, you will feel a heavy loss when they leave."
"Er Gou, let me ask you another question. I miss Miss Qin right now!"
"yes"
There's nothing wrong with admitting this. If you don't miss me, who would be willing to say these gibberish words?
The old man smiled knowingly, as if he had made some conclusion.
"Er Gou, there is no doubt that you like Miss Qin."
His originally tight brows were squeezed in the middle again. After all, he was still just a teenager. How could he explain such profound issues as liking someone and missing someone clearly?
Now, just think that you like Miss Qin. Just so you can experience what it feels like to like someone.
"Old man, what is lovesickness?"
The corners of the old man's mouth raised, a little playfully.
"The way you are now is just lovesickness."
After Ergou finished listening, he didn't ask any more questions. The old man didn't speak any more.
The moonlight was quiet and illuminated the courtyard. The two dogs gradually fell into a deep sleep, perhaps because they had not slept last night.
The old man looked at the sleeping boy, as if he saw himself in his youth, and the smile between his lips and eyebrows could not be hidden.
For Jiang Ergou, although he still doesn't know what it means to like someone, it does not prevent him from falling in love with someone. There is no conflict between the two!
When you meet your beloved, the roots of love are born, and most of all, you are struck by lovesickness when you are young.
The old man turned his head and looked at Jiang Ergou for a long time before lying down straight again. Probably because of his old age, Jiang Ergou aroused his thoughts again, and he liked to mutter to himself when looking at the moon.
"I don't know how you have been living these years. In the final analysis, I owe you a lot in this life. But I am just like Ergou. There are some things that, although I don't want to bear, are always needed.
It’s a burden. As for what I owe you, I’ll pay it back in my next life!”
For the old man, there is also a kind of longing.
The clear brilliance of the distant mountains reflects sparse shadows, and I miss you again when I see the cold moon.
…
Lingzhou is only about a hundred miles away from Luochuan City. The team arrived here after a day of driving.
There were several bonfires burning in the middle of the camp. Except for the disciples on night watch, everyone else had returned to their tents to rest. In fact, it was not just Master and Disciple Jiang Ergou who were not used to it. After the convoy felt that they were missing, they hurried on.
The night was no longer fun.
Outside the camp, quite far away from the motorcade, there is a girl sitting there, isn’t she Qin Xuejian, the heroine of Qin!
In the past, she felt annoyed when Ergou deliberately wandered in front of her. Later, she gradually no longer felt annoyed, but thought it was because she was accustomed to it.
Today, without Jiang Ergou hanging around in front of her, she actually misses her a little.
Behind the girl, Qin Yizheng stood not far away and looked at his sister. Of course, his sister could feel the changes. He was happy from the bottom of his heart for the changes in his sister.
Ever since she made the promise to Jiang Ergou last night to meet again next time, she would feel a little nervous every time she thought about it.
She was somewhat looking forward to returning to Yuzhou and waiting for Jiang Ergou to come. But she didn't know how to deal with Jiang Ergou after he came.
The heroine, who had always been indifferent, felt shy for the first time. Then, she seemed to remember the last words Jiang Ergou shouted to her during the day. Some smiles finally returned to her cold face.
"Bah! Who wants to go on a heroic journey with that damned dog?"
After the girl finished speaking, she looked up at the moon. It seemed that since she and Jiang Ergou watched the moon last night, she had fallen in love with this feeling.
It turns out that it’s not just teenagers who are lovesick.
