Qingchuan History

Chapter 349
In the early morning, Ruan Xueyin and Jing Tingge were still asleep when they were suddenly awakened by a slow and easily recognizable knock on the door.

Ruan Xueyin turned over and covered her head, and continued the dream.Jing Tingge struggled and struggled, finally threw the quilt off the ground with a blush, came to the door to adjust his expression, when he opened the door and saw Ji Ji, his eyes were smiling.

"Teacher, it's so early today."

Laugh a little fake.Jiji sees through but doesn't say anything, and calmly said: "Is it early? It used to be this time."

And without her knocking on the door, they will get up by themselves.

Jing Tingge laughed again, even more fake than before, and turned to call Ruan Xueyin: "Did you hear that, the teacher came to call in person, and is still pretending to sleep."

Ruan Xueyin spent a lot of effort to open her eyes, but she felt dizzy and her vision was blurred. She barely poked her head out of the quilt, turned over and squinted to look out the door.

"I didn't watch the stars at night, so I'm so sleepy." Ji Ji looked at her from a distance and shook her head lightly, "I'm going back this time to take care of myself. Even if you are young, you need to be restrained. The body capital wasted when you were young, you will always need it when you are old." Still." Saying this, he turned and left, "After packing up, come directly to the South Room."

The south house is the big house, and because it faces south, the three masters and apprentices have called it that for many years.But this sentence is obviously not as deafening as the previous one.Jing Tingge closed the door, turned around sharply, stared sharply at Ruan Xueyin, "What did you do last night?"

Ruan Xueyin was completely buried under the quilt, leaving only her head outside, and was stunned when she heard the words, "There is nothing. But I talked for a while by the cliff."

There are other things besides talking, but——

That's all.It doesn't matter if you sleep or not.

"Then what did the teacher tell you to restrain yourself?"

Ruan Xueyin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and finally panicked with embarrassment, "She's talking about going back." It should be for this act of taking medicine.He raised his eyes and looked at the song of Jingting:

"Have you taken that medicine?"

Jing Tingge blinked, walked back to the bed and began to get dressed, "How do I need food? It's all in the bottle, not a single grain has been touched."

Then you take more than half a bottle in one breath.Ruan Xueyin did not give up, and continued:
"Are you—"

"Tell me about your sister first." Jing Tingge interrupted, "Ruan Moxi, I really underestimated her. If Ruan Bi really meant to teach her to lie beside me, this old man should really Cleaned up."

It is also easy to tell the truth when you wake up in the morning.Ruan Xueyin's heart moved, "How to clean up?"

The opponent seemed to be stagnant.But she was putting on her clothes with her back to her, so she couldn't see her expression at all, she could only get a glimpse of it from her movements.

"I'm going to fight in a few years," she replied after a while, "I'll clean it up."

It doesn't sound like the truth.Ruan Xueyin thought, and got up to get dressed too.Everything was settled, and the two went directly to the big house according to the teacher's order.

"Don't you eat breakfast?"

Coming to the door, Ruan Xueyin whispered.

"I think so too." Jing Tingge rubbed his stomach.I'm not hungry, I ate noodles in the middle of the night last night, but I woke up early in the morning without eating or drinking, it was hard to change my mind.

The moment they opened the door and entered, the aroma of the food was overflowing, and when they looked closely, a glass of water, a bowl of porridge, a piece of cake, and a hard-boiled egg were neatly placed on the two long and narrow tables.

"Time is limited. When the two gentlemen come back later, you should also pack up and go down the mountain. Then listen to me while having breakfast." Jiji sat in the center, and the two of them were directly in front of the table, the old seat for many years , smiled, and motioned for the two to sit down, "Drink water first."

Come back later.Where were those two sent by the teacher?
Sitting in the Nan room where I was studying and having breakfast was unprecedented.

The smile on the teacher's face and the attitude of sitting behind the table are unprecedented.

The respective book tables are still arranged in the same way when they were all there in the past, side by side, separated by about three people's width.They sat down with their knees crossed one after another, which was also the order of eating in previous years. They drank water first, then ate porridge, and there was pastry on the side, and the boiled eggs had already been peeled.

The teacher is not loving, even very strict most of the time.Only the hard-boiled eggs every morning, they have never peeled the shells themselves.It's all like this, peeled off, and placed in a small dish.

"Xiaoxue has been away for more than a year, and her mentality and temperament have changed. When Ting Ge left, she was still a little girl. When she came back this time, her mentality, temperament and appearance are very different."

The two girls were drinking porridge, and they didn't know whether to answer the words or not.Ruan Xueyin turned her head to take a look, and said lightly: "It hasn't changed much. It's just that it's a bit older than before."

Jing Tingge rolled her eyes and took a bite of the rice cake in his hand, "According to my birthday, I am already older than you, and I went down the mountain earlier, so I should be older."

"That's right." Ji Ji smiled, "Aside from getting started, you really feel aggrieved when you call me senior sister."

Jing Tingge was taken aback.

Ruan Xueyin also felt puzzled, "Which of us is older, there is no way to find out. Her teacher gave her the third day of October. How can there be any grievances?"

"If Jing Ting Ge is indeed Jing Ting Ge," Ji Ji continued to smile and went to watch Jing Ting Ge, "then your birthday should be the third day of October."

Jing Tingge put down the spoon.Put down the rice cakes too.She touched it for a long while with the clean hand that was holding the spoon before she took out the silk and wiped her hands, but her eyes were fixed on Jiji's face without moving.

"What does the teacher mean by that?"

declarative sentence.

"Many years ago, due to a coincidence, several girls I had never met were gathered together to study pharmacology and cultivate medicinal materials. Many rare achievements were born in our hands."

Ruan Xueyin also put down the spoon.

It was still early, the mountain birds had not yet sung, and the silence in the room wrapped the atmosphere too unusually.Ji Ji seemed to be a little affected by this, stopped, and changed the subject: "You have to say something first, you can only listen to this story, you can't ask questions. After listening, I have a few more instructions, and then you go down the mountain."

Neither of them responded, they just stared at her.Ji Ji didn't care either, and continued flatly:

"For a total of nearly 13 years, we have been together every day. Every day is the same, looking up at the same sky, standing in the same garden, and surrounded by the same people. The only difference is the medicinal plants on that land. Year after year Every month, there are always new categories. Looking at the ever-changing colors and shapes, you will feel that each round of the four seasons is also different. The world is full of fun. This is all there. So that we are the only ones who accompany us day and night, but It's not boring. And the flowers and trees are kind, which is more worth entrusting than the unpredictable people in the outside world."

She glanced at the faces of the two girls, smiled and continued:

"I thought that such a day would be the beginning and the end of our lives. We didn't know until No. 13, but it turned out not to be true. To be exact, we discovered that it was not the tenth year."

She said many "we".Ruan Xueyin is not sure whether she refers to the same group of "we" every time.

"Among our group, there are some people who did not do it for medicinal purposes. It takes ten years to sharpen a sword for another purpose. When a person sharpens his sword for ten years, when the time comes for the sword to come out of its sheath, no matter what, he cannot hold back his hand She has to be worthy of all the time and effort she has put in in the past, even if she already feels that she doesn't need, can't, or shouldn't make a move at a critical moment. People, the only one who needs to be convinced in the end is myself. I want the past ten years of hard work to be in vain, and I want to convince myself If you don’t work in vain, you can only draw your sword out of its sheath. In No. 13, the sword was out of its sheath. It’s a pity. The ending is not good.”

"Is the man who sharpened his sword alive?" Ruan Xueyin asked.Maybe more than one?
"As I said just now, I only tell stories and don't answer questions."

"Are the teacher and Mrs. Shangguan the ones holding the sword, or the ones watching the sword come out?" Jing Tingge asked.Can't stand it at all.

Just tell stories, not answer questions.Ji Ji responded with another expression.

The two girls were silent.

Ji Ji didn't say anything else, and looked at them frankly.

Finished?
That's it.

Quiet as water, still water runs deep.

"But who am I and who is Ting Ge? These two questions have still not been answered." After a while, Ruan Xueyin said, "I thought the teacher told the story this time to tell the answer."

"I didn't say that this story is the answer. It's just that you want to hear it. I've thought about it again and again. There's nothing I can't say about old things."

"But that's all the teacher said," Jing Tingge continued, "It's like falling into the abyss, what should we do?"

"You have already gone down the mountain." Jiji replied, "Go and find out the answer I don't know, the ending I didn't see, and read it."

Ruan Xueyin felt something surge up from the depths of her chest.She pressed them all back. "Teacher and Mrs. Shangguan, are you waiting for an ending?"

They couldn't wait for Ji Ji to answer this question.Voices came from far away.It was Gu Xinglang and Murong Xun.

"You should go." Ji Ji said, still calm, but with a smile, "I still have a few words to tell you. Xiaoxue has a good memory, but Tingge has a poor memory. If you can't remember it, just let it go." She paused After a while, speak again, neither fast nor slow, just like the past years,

"Women are no different from men in the world. They should stand up to the sky, ride on the wind, pursue what they want, and have no shame in their hearts.

Women want to be strong, and the secular world does not tolerate it. Seeking fairness and grand plans, the road is bound to be difficult.What needs to be firm is the will, and what needs to be strengthened is the skill, but in any case, don't lose your heart and keep your goodwill and perception.

Softness is weakness, but also armor.Don't throw away your original talents and strengths just to stand shoulder to shoulder with men.To compete with others and turn yourself into others is not self-improvement, but cowardice.It is difficult to achieve great things if the mind is not settled.A truly strong person has the courage and ability to forge his own path.

Don't care what others say.Unless they are reasonable, respectful, and on the same level.Most people don't know where you came from.The world they see and the standards of right and wrong determined by their limited life experience are not enough to judge you.Those who sit on the sky, are ignorant and rude, but do not hesitate to criticize others, are even less worthy of your attention.

at last,"

She smiled, for the first time in more than ten years, she smiled like that, "I have talked too much with you all these years. Some words, how to say them back then, I am a little vague as a teacher."

For the first time in more than ten years, she said "to be a teacher".

"The word love," she continued, "I have never said it is bad. Whether it is good or not, whether it is worth it or not, everyone's experience is different. What I want to tell you is that if you have this opportunity, go experience it .Only by experiencing it can one gain true knowledge. All the listening and watching are not as good as walking through it yourself. Only those who have gone through have the right to speak. The same is true for other things.”

The morning birds chirped softly.The sun shines through the window lattice to illuminate the four walls, and it turned out to be a sunny day.In Pengxi Mountain, which is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, during the past ten years of living in the mountain, this kind of weather is a once-in-a-year good weather for the three masters and apprentices.

Because it is rare, once a year, the sunshine in Pengxi Mountain is different from other places.

"Let's go." Ji Ji stood up, as if she had sat cross-legged for too long, and was a little staggering.She got up slowly, bowed slightly, and beat her legs with clenched fists, "It's time for you to go down the mountain."

Before today, they never felt that the teacher was getting old.

They always guessed that she just turned fifty this year.As for age, no matter whether it is Pentecost or Forty, in their impression, it has never had anything to do with the teacher.

She is like someone who is always standing outside of time.

"Also." Thinking of something again, Ji Ji said again, "If you stand on a high place, no matter what the fight is, there is one bottom line that must be followed: be responsible to the living people. Those who occupy a high position should be responsible to the living people. "She nodded and shook her head again, as if she had all kinds of thoughts, and finally just said this,
"Go. Don't be afraid."
