sleep on pillow

It has been two years since the new emperor ascended the throne. The original amnesty for the world and the reduction of corvee have passed quietly. When old Shentou returned home, he chatted with Gouwaer while eating. This tax is really increasing. If it does not decrease, it will greatly increase the burden for those mountain people who live on the mountain.You must know that for those tenants, there are big families to share the pressure for them, and the income of the mountain people is not very stable, and they have to bear those taxes independently, and their lives are very difficult.

In recent years, there have been threats everywhere on the other side of the Yangtze River. The imminent war situation has made this remote county less stable than before. In fact, there are careerists and conspirators in the court secretly planning some things. Although these are rumors, they will not be groundless.

Gou Wa'er was still in the city yesterday and saw those government servants posting the conscription notices, and heard the traveling businessmen saying that it might not be to increase the military service, although since the dynasty, there have been dozens There has been no war in the past year, but who knows one day, the opposite side of the strip of water will come crashing down, shattering this peaceful and far-reaching life.

Although Gouwa'er's father, Old Shentou, is always called an old man, he is only a young man in his thirties. Although Gouwaer shares some of the burden of the family, the most important income comes from Lao Shen. Head brought.And once the old Shentou joins the army, the heavy responsibility of the family will fall on Gouwaer. The boy is not yet an adult, and he doesn't know how much he can do, so the smooth road will become more difficult.And if you become a Taoist or a scholar, you can enjoy the privilege of being exempted from those miscellaneous and military service. How can this not make the young man's heart beat?

Gouwa'er and Youde went to the school as usual on this day, the poisonous sun has slowly left with the autumn tiger, slowly losing its power, and then with the end of the autumn, Shi Shiran has a few heavy rains, The temperature slowly dropped.So much so that now, walking on the path in the mountains in the morning, I feel a little deserted wearing a coat of brown.

Gou Wa'er looked at his sleepy-eyed colleague Fa Xiao and said sadly, "Youde, you heard that the city may soon be called up for conscription. If your father leaves by then, can you go hunting alone? ? I don’t think you have been learning long with your father up the mountain, have you?” But Gou Wa’er thought about it again, thinking of himself even more, and had to sigh again.

"Ahhhhh, well, in fact, you son of a bitch, we will join the army for my father, and then let my father take care of Yingsheng and my mother at home." Youde said with a smile, and stretched himself while talking.It seemed that the matter he was talking about had nothing to do with him at all.

Gou Wa'er looked back at Fa Xiao in amazement, as if he had never known this person before. "Youde, didn't you roll out of bed last night and hit your head?" Saying this, the boy from the Shen family stepped forward and reached out to touch his old friend's forehead.

"Go, go," Youde waved his hand, stopped Gouwa'er who was about to come forward as if to drive away those flies, and continued: "My father is different from your father, Gouwaer, my father is about thirty. My wife, I only had me the next year, and now I am almost forty, we are not like you, we can eat everywhere, you see, these students in this private school respect you, they are afraid of you, but not me, they In the eyes of others, even my mother, I am just a big fool. I have nothing but my strength. And my father is an old hunter from all over the world. The fields are also open, so there is no shortage of work, I can go anywhere, as long as I can eat a bite of food, I can live comfortably. But my father can’t go, if I go, I’m not good enough, and there’s no one to take care of me at home. If he can't go, then I will go, and let the imperial court feed me." Youde said quite optimistically.Thinking about this passage, it was not easy for him who was a little dull since he was a child to say it. He had thought about these words for a long time, and now he poured them out, and he seemed to feel a little relieved.

Two people strolled on this forest path, but this fate seemed to have already divided their future into two. Since then, the future of the two people has been drawn into two different curves, which will not be repeated.When Gouwa'er arrives at a place many years later, the mortal past unfolds in front of Daozi like a series of scrolls. When looking at this past, he also smiles knowingly, feeling that the changes in the world are unusual.And outside the Jingyu Pavilion, there is another storm, with constant rotation.

As soon as I arrived at the Jin's private school, there were not many people. Those students who lived far away from their homes would get up late and sleep late if they had nothing to do. Only this dog boy and Youde lived far away , you have to get up early.And this Jin Miaoxian is going to come with Mr. Jin, the small building of the Jin family is only a few dozen steps away from this bungalow, so it is not too early.

Speaking of Jin Miaoxian, Gou Wa'er privately thought he was a wonderful person.As the folks often say, this bearded girl is sentimental, and the young man always feels that it is true.One must know that Jin Miaoxian never defends Gouwa'er. It is said that this girl will be several years older, but Gouwa'er always regards her as a younger sister in his heart. The girl revealed that this girl is not as timid as those other ladies from a great family, and she is quite comfortable dealing with the boy, and she has the spirit of a hero among women.

Gou Wa'er was still holding out hope in the morning, thinking that he could have a few words with Jin Miaoxian about the matter that he asked Lu Xiu to be a teacher but was rejected yesterday. Gou Wa'er didn't feel embarrassed, but this Jin Miaoxian is familiar with unofficial history, especially in this Taoism, so she wants to ask this girl to make an idea for herself.

It's just a coincidence that Jin Miaoxian and Mr. Jin walked into the classroom together, and seeing that it was already time for class, Gouwa'er thought about it carefully and knew that the time for talking in the morning was considered cancelled.So the young man had no choice but to bury his head and sit on the seat, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that Jin Miaoxian turned around playfully and made a face at him, and the young man smiled.The mood of being virtuous and being spoiled by oneself has just been relieved all of a sudden.

When noon came late in this private school, Gou Wa'er had a chance to catch up.And in front of Jin Miaoxian, there are already a few young men gathered, these young men are considered to be famous in this private school, although they are not as wealthy as Li Mao's generation, but they are also the sons and daughters of various shopkeepers. For the two who have to catch up with the mountain road of more than ten miles in one class, they don't know how high it is.But now these teenagers looked very enthusiastic to ask Jin Miaoxian how he was, and they almost asked what they had for breakfast in the morning.Gou Wa'er saw that the young people on the third floor and the third floor were covering Jin Miaoxian's surroundings, so he had no choice but to call for Youde, and let this brute forceful fat boy forcefully thrust into Jin Miaoxian's body, attracting those elders The rich little brothers were not very happy, and were about to ask for responsibility, only to see the shabby little brother Gouwaer with a hippie smile just turning around from behind Youde, so he felt that the bad luck was like a bird and beast.

But from Jin Miaoxian's point of view, these two people looked very anxious, and there was some calculation in their hearts, so soft words persuaded those remaining teenagers who had nothing to do and refused to leave children.Then lead the two of them out of the house to a nearby open space. "Youde, why is Gouwa looking for Miss Ben in such a hurry today?" The girl had bright eyes and white teeth, and she had a delicate appearance. After asking this, Gouwa looked a little crazy.

"Hey, it's the dog who has something to look for you." Youde looked at the dog who didn't respond for a long time, then pushed him, and the young man woke up like a dream, patted his forehead and said, "Hey, yes Oh, didn’t you ask me about this Lingxu Palace a few days ago? I’ve been going in and out of this Lingxu Palace’s Charity Center these days, chatting and laughing with those little Taoist priests and old Taoists, and now I have some clues.” Dog Wa'er looked mysterious, but suddenly revealed a big message.

Jin Miaoxian was standing in the same place, playing with her braids with her fingers, when she heard the news, she ignored the little girl's attitude and shouted out: "What? Come quickly!"

Gou Wa'er was startled, he originally wanted to show off, but who would have thought that Jin Miaoxian's reaction would be so violent, and he looked like a young man who would swallow him alive if he didn't tell the reason, and hurriedly said: "I I heard from the old Taoist Lu Xiu of Lingxu Palace that they came to Ganzhou City to monitor Linwu Mountain by the Dongting Lake together with the other factions. Didn’t there be an accident in Linwu Mountain earlier? The upper and lower sides of the door disappeared completely, so some casual monks or small sects came to this Linwu Mountain to station and practice. And this monk Lu also said that he came to Ganzhou City for the purpose of Prevent any crooked ways from entering this forest house mountain, lest these demons and ghosts become a climate."

Jin Miaoxian showed a thoughtful expression when he heard it, Gouwa'er and Youde didn't dare to disturb the unruly girl's thoughts, Gouwa'er was even more confused, and didn't know what the girl was thinking something.

After a long time, the girl didn't say a word, Gou Wa'er said: "You don't believe me, I told that old Taoist priest Lu Xiu that I want to worship under this Lingxu Palace."

The girl looked at the boy again.It's just that the young man scratched his head and said: "It's just that the old man is so wicked. He told me about everything, such as what kind of opportunity it is, but he insisted on not agreeing to me. We feel that you are soft on us, You have to give us some benefits. I came here to ask if you can give me an idea so that I can mix into this Lingxu Palace. In this way, our food will be settled, and we don’t have to do any military service. Reduce some taxes."

Youde who was standing at the side was the first to speak out: "Well, you son of a bitch, it turned out that you were the one who had a good plan. If you want to eat free rice, go to the military camp with me. Why bother to ask that old Taoist?" !" Gou Wa'er gave that Youde a look, but didn't answer.

But Jin Miaoxian frowned, and said after a long while: "As far as I know, this sect has always been very strict in accepting disciples, and there is actually nothing wrong with what monk Lu Xiu said, but this Taoist school always attaches great importance to fate. I think you will go around the charity place more often in the future, if you don't keep it all together, one day when the opportunity comes, it will come to fruition, and this is the only plan for today." When Gou Wa'er heard this, it was just a helpless way, but I couldn't think of any other good ideas, so I could only press my heart and do it like this.

"Hey, let me tell you, have you noticed that there are suddenly many, um, never-before-seen faces in the city of Ganzhou?" Youde said, looking at the two frowning people.

Gou Wa'er recalled it, and it was indeed the case.Gouwa'er felt this way when he came to the city earlier, but now that the autumn order is gradually passing, this matter is even more unabated compared to the end of summer.At first, Gouwaer only thought it was his own illusion, but even Youde, who is usually slow to react, paid attention to the current affairs of the world. It can be seen that this matter is indeed not his own feeling, but it is true.

"I'm in Ganzhou City, I'm not familiar with the place where I live, so I don't know about it, what about you, son of a bitch?" Jin Miaoxian's face was a little surprised when he first heard this, and he quickly asked who is often in the market. boy walking around.

"It's true. Since the beginning of this autumn, I have seen many new faces appearing, and now it seems to be getting worse." Gou Wa'er also nodded, proving that there is indeed something happening in Ganzhou City.

"More than that, the day before yesterday, my father and I went hunting in the mountains, and we stayed on this mountain this night. My father wanted to watch the second half of the night, and I came to watch the first half of the night. We were in a hurry to urinate, so we ran to the south. On the other side of the cliff, I just took off my trousers and was about to go to the toilet. Who knew that I heard several people talking at the bottom of the cliff, but they were too far away, so I couldn't hear clearly, so I wanted to get closer, so I lowered my head and saw several people talking. The faces of Zhang Sheng are gathered there, and they are not far away from me. I don’t know what they are doing here. I was afraid of being discovered by them, so I suppressed the urge to urinate all at once, and returned to the campfire with my pants up. .” Youde said.

Gouwa'er thought to himself, from Youde's description, the cliff seemed to be near the cave where he often practiced, and he didn't know where Youde and Zhang Lao went to the cliff the day before yesterday.But Gouwaer thought about it for a while, Zhu Yuan took him to walk in this deep mountain many times, it seems that there are several cliffs in the deep mountain, but I can't remember which one can be hooked with the one described by Youde. I was a little dazed for a while.

"Really?" Jin Miaoxian had recovered her girlish nature at this time, and asked about it quite briskly, while Youde nodded repeatedly, expressing that he did not remember wrongly.

Gou Wa'er secretly scolded this virtuous and ungrateful man in his heart, and didn't tell him such an important matter first, but he didn't know that when he and Jin Miaoxian showed their courtesy just now, it was even more disgusting.

"That's not as good as this. In the evening, my father is going to play chess with the old master of Minsi's study in Ganzhou City, so I sneak out. Youde, you take us to that cliff to find out what's going on. How about it? This Jin Miaoxian's bold proposal made the two teenagers dumbfounded, but Youde recovered from this scene first, and said falteringly: "You girl, every family, is this not good?"

"What's wrong, my family thinks that this woman is inferior to boys! What you boys can do, there is nothing I, Jin Miaoxian, can't do!"

This kind of pretentious talk has no choice but to nod and say yes.But Gou Wa'er said at this time: "I won't go with this matter, we happen to have something at home, and we can't get out." After the boy finished speaking, he turned his back guiltily, and hurriedly walked towards the private school. go.

"Dog baby!" The young girl behind him shouted his name. After thinking about it, he finally ran away.

The young man was just worried about the cave hidden in the mountains, not to mention the Zhu Yuan's body, and those Zhu Yuan's relics. Among the books found, there are seven or eight Daozang books, and the rest is a notebook. Gouwaer put them all in the cave before, thinking it would be safer than carrying them with him, but now he can't help worrying about their safety. After all, it's okay to be found by those two teenagers, but if found by those strangers, Gou Wa'er feels that nothing good will happen.

So in the afternoon, I took an early leave with Mr. Jin, and hurried back to the mountains in a hurry.Before Gouwa'er arrived at the cave, he found that there was no change in this room, so he walked quickly into the cave, stuffed all the books into the burden sheet he brought, packed them together, and hurried back at home.Gou Wa'er's mother was feeding the chickens and ducks in the yard at this time, when she saw her son returning home with a small bundle from a distance, she was secretly surprised when Gou Wa'er hurried out of the house again. "Mother, we brought back some books from the private school, and now we're going to work in Daoxiang Building!" Gouwa'er lowered her head and didn't dare to look into her mother's eyes, but the middle-aged woman just said indifferently. He said: "Go early and come back early." Gou Wa'er raised his head to meet the woman's gentle eyes, and rushed out of the house without looking back.

When Gouwa'er and Youde Jinmiaoxian met again, it was already the morning of the third day.That day Gouwaer went to look for Youde, but Zhang Orion said that Youde didn't come back yesterday, he must have gone to his uncle's house in the city, Gouwaer thanked Zhang Orion, and hurried to the private school on the mountain road.When he ran into the room, he saw Youde lying on the table and sleeping soundly. The boy sat down on the chair and patted his friend on the head.

Only then did Youde wake up from the dream. "It's a dog." Youde waved his hands in disappointment. "How were you doing that night?" The young man said, holding a grass branch he had just picked from the roadside.

"I didn't find anything, I squatted all night, and my uncle told me I was half dead." Gouwa'er said "Oh", and his heart was settled.

When Gou Wa'er was going to work, he happened to run into shopkeeper Liang who had come back from outside and was cursing. I really want to see this shopkeeper Liang, after all, Lao He always looks neither salty nor bland in everything he does, and this shopkeeper Liang, although everyone in the building says he is mean, but to the young man, it is indeed It is clear rewards and punishments, impartiality.

Gouwaer prefers to be straightforward, but he doesn't like this and mud.

"Boy from the Shen family, go in later, I have something to tell you." The shopkeeper Liang immediately stopped the young man who was about to enter the restaurant after saying hello.

The young man walked up to shopkeeper Liang in a daze. "Hey, I'll give you an extra fee. How about you go to Zhuzhou City to pick up the goods? The delivery man, Li, was drunk last night. It is said that he fell into the river and broke his leg. I'm afraid there may be some It won't get better in a few days, and now this is the only family that travels to and from Zhuzhou City, and the carp in my kitchen is about to run out, so I have to send you there." Shopkeeper Liang took it from his belt. Half hanging money in hand.The boy's eyes straightened in an instant.

"Okay, shopkeeper, I'll go right away." Gou Wa'er took the things that shopkeeper Liang handed over, and said in response.

The author has something to say:

In fact, from the countryside to living in this town, from dealing with wild animals to interacting with people today, it is a kind of growth.Is not it
