Xiao Li said, ”Why do you have to have plans before leaving? ”I've made up my mind. I'm going to live in the mountain village.”
Zhai Yingkong was at a loss for words. After a long while, he asked, ”Why are you living in the mountain village?”
Xiao Li said, ”The mountain village is quiet. There aren't many idle people who come to bother you.”
Zhai Yingkong said, ”Why do you like peace and quiet at such a young age?” At my age, I still like to travel to the southern regions of the world, the southern seas and the northern lands. Don't you want to see the world and the mountains and rivers? Such a life is the life of a chivalrous man like us. ”
Xiao Li replied, ”I'm not a chivalrous hero. I'm just an ordinary commoner.”
Zhai Yingkong looked at him with disdain. ”A man with no guts at all.” ”You are simply a good-for-nothing. All your life, you have been stuck in this abyss of poverty, wasting your youth.”
Xiao Li said, ”Isn't that good? It's more interesting than being beaten and beaten every day. ”
Zhai Yingkong said, ”Who said I got beaten up? I don't have the habit of bullying others. I have always taken on the task of putting people out of their misery. I laugh at the wind and the clouds of the world, drunk to the west of the mountains; into the world just to eliminate disasters, come out to see the world; walk the mountains and rivers 8000 miles, find back the Six Samsara of humanity; measure the scale of the world, calculate the proclamation of the universe; see the whole life fickle, traverse the knots of love. Such a life should be pursued. ”You are just a born ignorant child. You should go to the mountain valleys and live there in a muddled state.”
Xiao Li said, ”You're reciting a poem now. ”Then why are you still following me around? Why don't you just lie down and enjoy the world, and chat about the millions of mountains in the world?” As he finished speaking, his voice became softer and softer, as if he was lost in a trance. His vision seemed to be filled with Zhai Yingkong's concept of opening up a path in his words. Xiao Li was also a hot-blooded young man. Naturally, he yearned for a free and unrestrained life as a ranger. Who wouldn't want to be the kind of person who would sneer at others when he was at the top of the world? Xiao Li was no exception, he was very moved by Zhai Yingkong's words. He did not want to live a mediocre life like this.
When Zhai Yingkong saw Xiao Li's intoxicated eyes, he knew that he was moved. He said, ”If I had the ability, why would I need to follow behind you? Even someone like my master couldn't do it so easily, so why would I be able to do it? ”
Xiao Li said, ”Then what are you talking about? Who has the ability to do so?”
Zhai Yingkong said, ”Yes, you do.”
Xiao Li was shocked, but then said as if he had understood something, ”Don't fool me. I know what I'm made of. You just don't want me to go to the mountain village, do you? ”Okay, I will do as you wish. I will not go to the mountain village.”
When Tian Liu and Mu Long heard this, their faces filled with uncontrollable joy. They turned to Xiao Li and said, ”Big Brother, then where do you plan to go?”
Seeing the two of them so happy, Xiao Li thought to himself, ”Looks like my decision before was really a mistake. Ah Long and Ah Six don't like the ordinary life in the village.” I almost stopped their wishful thinking. I was really a bit too domineering. Thinking of this, he could not help but smile in his heart. It was fortunate that he didn't make this mistake. It seemed like he needed to listen to their sincere suggestions in the future. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know if he made a big mistake.
Xiao Li said, ”Where do you want to go?”
When Tian Liu and Mu Long heard Xiao Li ask where they wanted to go, they didn't have any thoughts for a while. They all said, ”We don't know. We haven't thought about it yet. ”
Seeing their awkward expressions, Xiao Li knew that they really didn't have any thoughts, so he said, ”I think it's impossible for us to do what Old Brother Zhai said. However, it was still possible to roam the world and see the mountains and rivers. ”This way, we can broaden our horizons. Then, let's go sightseeing.”
When Tian Liu and Mu Long heard this, they immediately beamed with joy and said, ”Great, great, great.”
Xiao Li said, ”Old Brother Zhai is naturally experienced when it comes to sightseeing. Old Brother Zhai, tell me, where should I go?”
Zhai Yingkong was very happy to see that Xiao Li had finally woken up. He was a person who couldn't afford to be idle for a moment. He disagreed with Xiao Li's negative thoughts and felt that Xiao Li was definitely not as useless as he said. On the contrary, he felt that if Xiao Li were to go out and experience the world, his future would be limitless. Thus, he really wanted to pull Xiao Li out of his unconfident mindset so that he could have sufficient development. Now, seeing that he finally had the impulse to leave, he immediately said: ”When it comes to mountains and rivers, of course we have to talk about the scenery of Jiangnan. It would be better if we walked all the way from the Western Territory to the Central Plains. Like this, all the scenery on the road will be reflected in our eyes. ”
Xiao Li thought for a moment and said, ”It looks great, but we don't have that many connections. Furthermore, we heard that the distance from here to the Central Plains is thousands of miles.” Xiao Li had never been this far away from his hometown. Moreover, he didn't have enough time to travel this far either. Who knew what kind of trouble he might encounter along the way.
Zhai Yingkong saw through his thoughts and said, ”There are no difficulties in this world. Seeing how you are acting, even if you don't have any guts or ambition, you will know the result if you don't have to leave. It would be better if you don't have to leave. ”
After hearing what he said, Xiao Li thought to himself, That's right. If I want to go out, I should be able to handle everything. Since he had already decided to leave, he couldn't care too much about it. Moreover, he was a doctor, and everyone here was a strong man. He would eventually find a way to make a living. He then said in a strong voice, ”I was wrong. So what if I went to the Central Plains?” When Tian Liu and Mu Long heard this, they also said, ”That's right, there will be a road before the carriage reaches the mountain. We'll watch as we walk. ”
Among them, Ying Ying was happy. She giggled and said, ”Oh, oh, oh, let's go have fun. Dad said that there's a lot of delicious food in Jiangnan, and it's fun. I want to eat a lot of good food, ha-ha, ha-ha. I also want to buy a cloth doll, buy a lot of fun. ” Zhai Yingkong scratched her nose and said, ”Okay, we have the best fluorescence. ”As for you, if I please your Uncle Xiao, he will buy you anything.
Xiao Li smiled and said, ”I am a pauper without money. Yingying, you should ask your uncle for it.”
”You're all stingy people. I'll buy it myself, hmph.” As he spoke, he looked up at the sky with an aged look in his eyes. Everyone laughed when they saw her pretending to be an adult. Under the love of so many people, Ying Fu had long forgotten the sad absence of his parents, and was very lively and cute.
