ordinary crossing road

Chapter 119
Although Chen Chen knew that someone had been following her for a long time, she did not expect that the person following her was actually a thin, eleven or twelve-year-old child.

When the child stood in front of her tremblingly, she suddenly discovered that the child was from Luojia Village, and she had seen him at her apprentice's home.

"What are you doing behind me? Where are your family members?" Chen Chen looked at the silent child standing in front of him suspiciously and asked.

The child lowered his head and grabbed the corner of his front with both hands. After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind and knelt down with a plop.

"Ma'am, please accept me as a disciple!"

Chen Chen looked at him in surprise, and asked, "Why do you want to worship me as a teacher? Does your family agree? Do they know you're following me?"

When she had just finished speaking, she saw tears in the child's eyes.

"I have no family anymore. My parents are dead. My uncle and the people in the village have always raised me. I don't want to burden them anymore." After speaking, tears rolled down the corners of my eyes.

Chen Chen fell silent instantly on the child's expression and what he said.

It turns out that this child is also a poor person, but I really can't take him away now.After all, she is now looking for someone, and she is not sure what she will encounter along the way, otherwise, she would not leave her apprentice at home and not let him follow her. "Although your life experience is very poor, I still can't take you away. You should know that your family is from Luojia Village. I'm here to find someone this time. I'm not sure when I will go back, not to mention you are still so young." , it’s really inconvenient to take you by my side, if you really want to learn Kung Fu, you can go back to find Xi Niang and tell her that I let you go.”

As soon as Chen Chen finished speaking, the child collapsed on the ground as if he had lost all his strength. The desperate expression made Chen Chen's heart twitch.

Chen Chen slowly walked up to the child, helped him up and sat him down, and then said, "I also know that I don't want to cause trouble for the people in the village, but you are still young after all, all you can do now is Accept their kindness, and repay them when you are truly capable. I can understand how you feel now, but have you ever thought about how anxious you will make them when you leave quietly? After dinner Just go back!"

After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at the child's expression, greeted the shop waiter, brought a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and placed them in front of the child. ?Seeing that the child was still sitting motionless, Chen Chen picked up his right hand and handed the chopsticks to him, but the child didn't move even though he was holding the chopsticks.

At this moment, she suddenly heard a familiar noise coming from outside, so she stood up and walked out.

"Mr. Luo, are you looking for a little boy?"

The head of Luojia Village suddenly heard someone calling him. After he followed the voice, he found that it was the lady who had just left his village. He walked quickly to Chen Chen.

"Ma'am, have you seen that child, where is he now?"

After finishing speaking, he looked behind Chen Chen, and saw the little boy sitting on the seat at a glance. He ran over at a trot, grabbed one of the boy's arms, and patted her on the back twice. Shouted: "Why are you so disobedient! Didn't I tell you not to run around? Do you know that the world is in chaos now, if you get lost, how can I feel sorry for your dead parents!" The village chief held the child and burst into tears.

The crying of the village chief seemed to scare the child. He looked at the village chief blankly, as if he was looking at a stranger. His heart was very restless now, because the village chief of Luojia Village was him. Uncle, he has always thought that he is a burden on his uncle's family. He never thought that his running away from home would make his uncle reflect so much.What's more, now he is crying for himself.He moved his mouth, but no sound came out.Slowly, his tears crawled all over his cheeks, he stretched out his hands, and hugged his uncle tightly.

"I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! I thought..." Although the remaining words were not finished, the unfinished words made the village head almost heartbroken.

Over the years, after his younger brother and younger siblings passed away, he still cared too little for his children, otherwise today's situation might not have happened.But he also knew in his heart that no matter how good he was to the child, it could not replace the position of his parents in his heart.In addition, my own mother-in-law is not such a careful person.They didn't know what thoughts the child had in their hearts. If it wasn't for the child running away from home this time, they would not have realized that the child was about to lose their relationship with them.Those who are elders are really dereliction of duty.

While wiping the child's tears, the village head said: "Silly boy, it is the uncle who should say sorry. If the uncle didn't care enough for you, why would you run away from home? Go back with the uncle! What do you have in mind in the future?" Just tell the uncle, after all, the uncle is your relative." Unfortunately, the words of the village chief did not change the child's mind, and the child bit his lower lip, sat there silently, and shed tears silently.

"Son, you should say something! Uncle feels uncomfortable seeing you so silent."

As if feeling his uncle's heart, the child slowly raised his head, looked into the eyes of the village head, and said firmly: "Uncle has always been very kind to me, I understand it in my heart, but..."?
The child turned his head to look at Chen Chen, then turned his head to the village chief and said, "I want to learn from my wife."

The village chief glanced at the child in surprise, then turned around and looked at Chen Chen who stood there without speaking.

"This···"

Chen Chen originally thought that the child would give up following her wishes after talking to the village chief, but she never thought that the child would be so stubborn.

"If you follow me, you will suffer a lot along the way, so you are not afraid? Besides, you see that you ran away from home this time and made your uncle anxious. You can really bear the heart and make people who care about you sad ?"

Chen Chen's words made the child feel a little overwhelmed for a moment, but after thinking about it for a while, he still made up his mind.

He stood up, knelt down and kowtowed three times to the captain, and said, "I'm sorry! Uncle, I still want to follow Madam. Maybe there will be hardships on the way, but I'm not afraid, because I understand that suffering is suffering. Only then can you become a master.”

Chen Chen felt a little bit moved by the child's words. After all, the road of cultivation cannot survive without suffering.If you want to reach the top, you must have extraordinary perseverance and a firm will to move forward.The child in front of him lacks neither of these things. The only thing he lacks now is a person who can lead him in.And obviously, the child has now chosen himself.

If I let go now, can I really feel at ease?Chen Chen thought in his heart. She stood there, thinking for a while, before she spoke: "I understand, I'm kowtow to your uncle! From now on, you follow me! But, I will tell you clearly now, Although you have followed me, I will not accept you as an apprentice now, when you really think it through, come and tell me."

After Chen Chen finished speaking, he stopped looking at their uncle and nephew, turned around and asked the waiter to take him back to his room, and gave them the rest of the time.

Hearing what Chen Chen said before he left, the child smiled happily.

But he didn't see his uncle's pale face and precarious figure after Chen Chen turned and left.

The head of Luojia Village is really in a mixed mood right now, he is happy that his nephew has such a great opportunity, but also worried that he left home so peeing.But this was the child's own decision. Although he was his uncle, for his future future, he had no choice but to let the child go with Chen Chen.

After tidying up his mood, the village chief asked for a room for the child, and told him to wait here quietly, then quickly left the inn, and went home to pack things that his nephew might need during the trip.

When the village chief returned home, his wife saw that the child was not following him, so she stepped forward anxiously and grabbed her hand, saying, "Where is the child? Didn't you find it? Why did you come back by yourself?"

Seeing his mother-in-law's anxious look, the village head sighed helplessly, patted his hands, and said, "The child is with that lady now, hurry up and pack some better clothes for him, By the way, take some more money, and I'll send it to him, he's in an inn in the city now! I hope he can have a good future in the future. Sigh~"

Hearing her man's words, the village head's wife didn't react for a long time. It wasn't until the village head urged her several times that she looked at her man in surprise and asked in surprise, "Seeing that lady leave? What's going on? Why did you follow him? So Madam is going to accept him as an apprentice? But isn't her apprentice Brother Song?"

The village head saw that his mother-in-law hadn't moved for a long time, so he anxiously pushed him to pack his things. "Don't ask so many questions, go and pack Wei Geer's luggage first, this kid will have a great future, I will tell you when I turn around, you go quickly! The kid is still waiting!" After finishing speaking , not looking at his mother-in-law, he found out the dry tobacco rod that he hadn't smoked for a long time, lit the shredded tobacco and smoked it.

There was still very little change of clothes, so I packed them up quickly.

"This is our brother Wei's clothes. It costs more outside than at home. Besides, the food will be harvested soon. If you sell it at that time, you will have money at home. There are less than 100 taels of silver at home. , I left 20 taels, and I packed all the rest, you go and send it to him!" After speaking, he put the bag in his hand into the hands of his man, and pushed him to let him Hurry up and send it.

At first, he still cared a little bit about his mother-in-law, but now faced with the worry on her face, the village chief wished he could slap himself in the face. Who is his mother-in-law? Don’t you know in your heart? I did something wrong myself, but fortunately, his wife didn't find out.Thinking of his nephew who was still in the inn, the village head quickly left home with the bundle in his arms tightly.
