strayed into fairy mountain

Chapter 48 [Cars, boats, foot teeth, innocent people should be killed]

After crossing the river, we bid farewell to each other.

Until walking far, far away, I could vaguely hear the sound of entrusting, which was the boatman calling, ordering what was entrusted:
"Miss Bell, don't forget to go to my house. Of the two grasshoppers I gave you, one of them is for my Niuniu to play with..."

Little Bell was a little sad, and couldn't help but turned around and waved vigorously, shouting loudly: "Don't worry, Uncle Boatman, I will definitely go to your house and help you see the little girl."

The boatman's laughter was faintly heard along the river in the distance.

Little Lingdang became more and more sad, and turned to look at Yun Jingshu.

Because there were passers-by at this time, little Lingdang couldn't address the princess, so she could only say: "Mother, I feel so sad. Uncle Boatman loves his daughter very much, why is he willing to stay away from home for ten and a half months... ..."

Before Yun Jingshu could answer, a commoner next to him laughed and said nonchalantly, "Of course it's for making money. Making money is more important than anything else. Only when a man makes money can a family live a good life."

Little Bell actually understood this truth, but she still felt sad in her heart.

Yun Jingshu stretched out his hand, gently stroked her little head, and said in a warm voice, "Father is like a mountain, he is the backbone of the family. The boatman is just because he loves his daughter so much that he can bear the pain of parting and punting here..."

He paused slightly as he spoke, as if he wanted to take the opportunity to instill some truth, and said softly: "All fathers are the same in the world, and there is no father or mother who does not love their children. If a father has been away from his children for more than ten years, it is probably because of some kind of Unspeakable hardships."

Little Lingdang blinked her eyes, faintly feeling that there was something in her words, she was extremely intelligent, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "For example, my father? Is he still alive?"

Yun Jingshu was startled, then shook his head bitterly, and said, "How is that possible? I buried him myself."

As she said that, she looked at Little Lingdang, sighed faintly, and said: "You girl, I was thinking about it. I didn't mean to imply about your father just now. I just took the opportunity to teach you some truths. I didn't expect you to think about it."

Little Bell's eyes turned red, her mood became very depressed, and she said, "So, my father is really dead?"

Yun Jingshu stretched out his hand, grabbed her little head, and said softly, "I buried him myself."

Little Bell raised her head and said loudly: "But my father is great. His sacrifice was for the human race. Although he is just an ordinary pawn, he is a brave and fearless hero on the battlefield."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the far away river bank, and said loudly, "The same is true for that uncle boatman. He is also great. He clearly misses his daughter, but he endures the pain of parting in order to earn money to support his family..."

Yun Jingshu nodded and said, "That's it."

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden sneer not far away at this time, and a young scholar said with a sarcasm, "The feet and teeth of the car and boat shop should be killed if they are innocent, little girl, you are not deep in the world, so don't be too kind... "

The scholar sneered again, and said again: "The coachmen and boatmen in this world, as well as the porters, dentists, and those in the roadside inn, if you think they are good people, you may die in their hands someday. .”

Little Lingdang was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously said: "The feet and teeth of the car and boat shop, should they be killed even if they are innocent?"

Seeing that the little girl was instilled with crooked principles, a trace of anger flashed across Yun Jingshu's eyes.

However, before Yun Jingshu could open his mouth, a group of common people who were traveling with him had already scolded the scholar, accusing the scholar one after another: "You young man, what did you say? Why did you kill him if you were innocent? Do you know the past of that boatman?"

The young scholar sneered again, and said, "Why do I want to know his past? I just know he's a boatman now."

The fellow citizens became more and more angry, and one of the middle-aged men said angrily: "Since you don't know, I'll tell you about it. The boatman's name is Liu Zhuzi, and his broken leg was broken on the battlefield. 15 years A while ago, when the imperial court conscripted soldiers, Liu Zhuzi's family had two males, and he and his father both went to the battlefield."

"At that time, Liu Zhuzi was only 15 years old, and he was the youngest child soldier. According to the practice in the army, child soldiers will be protected by old soldiers. Unless there is a big battle as a last resort, child soldiers will basically not be injured."

"But Liu Zhuzi's father is also on the battlefield, and he belongs to the former army that must charge desperately. Because Liu Zhuzi was worried about his father, he sneaked into the former army..."

As the middle-aged man spoke, he looked at the scholar with cynicism and said, "You have only eaten for a few days? Can scholars comment on others at will? If there were no soldiers like us who participated in the war, what chance would you have to be safe at home?" Steady reading?"

Little Bell ran to the middle-aged man, raised her face and asked, "Uncle, are you also a soldier in that great war?"

The middle-aged man sighed, and said: "Yes, I am. It's just that I was young at that time, and I was also a child soldier who was protected. Because I was protected, so...so...so now my situation is not bad. "

The middle-aged man said, his eye circles seemed to be a little red, and he murmured: "But those old people in our village, those soldiers who were in the vanguard when they participated in the battle, they have a bleak ending. Everyone is more or less abnormal."

Little Bell was full of sympathy, and said: "It's really pitiful. But, it's great."

At this time, I heard the scholar sneer again, and said lightly: "Being an ordinary pawn on the battlefield, do you think you are great? Then, as a member of the God's Palace, I will always be an enemy of Weird. If you follow the According to you, isn't this officer a great hero..."

Little Bell was stunned, and said in astonishment: "You are actually the priest of the Shenjuan Mansion?"

The man's face turned pale, subconsciously panicked, and timidly said: "Are you an official? Or an official of the Shenjuan Mansion."

Instantly lost the confidence to talk to the scholar.

Little Lingdang was not afraid at all, on the contrary, she became more and more curious. She raised her head and asked the scholar, "Are you really a priest? Are you the priest of Yicheng County?"

Unexpectedly, the scholar shook his head lightly, and said: "I am indeed a priest, but not a priest in Yicheng County. My jurisdiction is in the county next door. I came here because of some official business."

Little Bell blinked and guessed: "The priest has a great responsibility, and he never leaves the jurisdiction. Could it be that there is a big trouble in your county, so you come to Yicheng County for help?"

The scholar was obviously taken aback, his face was a little embarrassed, and he said displeasedly: "You look cute, why do you speak so harshly..."

Little Bell made an embarrassing face.

Suddenly Yun Jingshu stretched out his hand, gently pulled the little bell back, and said coldly: "Speaking of being vitriolic, some people are really vitriolic. There are good and evil in people's hearts, and they are darker than light. The dark mind in this world If you are old, you will feel dark when you look at everything. But if you have light in your heart, everything you look at is bright..."
