Chapter Ten I Should Have No Regrets At That Time
Ye Cang was lying under the shade of the tree, like this by Wuchuan, it was not cold at all. If you look for some peach leaves, you can sleep well.
Ye Cang lay down, closing his eyes, feeling a little movement on his face, his heart trembled, and he quickly sat up and shouted, "Little Golden Monkey."
But I didn't hear the squeaking sound of the little golden monkey, just the sound of some hard objects falling to the ground.
"Oh, you guy, suddenly got up and do something, don't break the old turtle's shell. The old turtle has been raised for many years, and it's precious!" Suddenly, a cursing voice came from Ye Cang.
Ye Cang looked for the sound and saw an old turtle covered in gray-green hair beside him.
He saw that painting once when he was looking at the school window, but the turtle in the painting was much bigger than this one, and the mountain in the painting was not as thick as its legs.
But I didn't know that the turtle could speak, and my eyes were full of curiosity. The old turtle fell over and kept wiggling its limbs. It took a lot of effort and finally turned over.
The old turtle could actually speak, panting and muttering: "The young people nowadays do not respect the elderly at all, and do not help the old turtle."
Ye Cang scratched his head and looked at the old turtle with a silly smile. The old turtle ignored Ye Cang, slowly moved his limbs, and slowly crawled towards the direction when Ye Cang came. That was the direction of Taoshan Village.
The old turtle slowly crawled forward and suddenly said, "Why are you not staying in your Taoshan Village?"
Ye Cang said in a little puzzled manner: "Do you always know me?"
The old turtle was a little proud and slowly said: "Hey! This geographical Tiangang, Zhoutian Twelve, what are my old turtle?
If you live for a long time, you will know more. Being able to live is also a skill. The old turtle generation, the old turtle's second generation, are all dead!"
"Do you know where the giant turtle in Beishan is? I have been out for a few days and haven't found it." Ye Cang was a little anxious, afraid that he wouldn't go back to attend the class for too long, which would make the Master angry.
"Where did you know Lao Turtle from me? Is it the fortune teller? Or the storyteller?" Lao Turtle responded.
Ye Cang fixed his eyes and looked at the old turtle's back with all his hair on the back. Not to mention the mountains, he couldn't even see a stone. Ye Cang said unbelievably: "Don't joke, Mr. Turtle, you are too many old and young."
Although the old turtle was talking to Ye Cang, she kept walking and slowly crawled forward and said, "You don't believe it, you are looking for the old turtle...what are you doing with the giant turtle?"
Ye Cang replied without thinking, with a pure smile on his face: "The Master is teaching, I am allowed to go to the school to listen to the study. I want to ask for something to be a gift for Tuoshan Giant Turtle."
Ye Cang thought for a while, then nodded affirmatively and said, "It's called Shu Xiu. The Master didn't tell me, but I begged my grandfather to tell me. Maybe the Master doesn't value these things, but I can't."
When the old turtle heard the word Shu Xiu, he turned his head, but his body did not move at all, and looked at Ye Cang with a faint look: "Do you know what Shu Xiu is?"
Ye Cang shook his head, and the old turtle sighed and said, "Tao Shang..."
Zhuaner watched Ye Cangru encounter a snake and scorpion again, and climbed forward quickly: "The old turtle is not a giant Turtle Mountain turtle, and I don't know where it is!"
The old turtle continued to walk forward, and Ye Cang hurriedly ran to the front of the old turtle, squatting down to block the old turtle's way: "Your turtle, please tell me, right? Where are you going, can I send you there?"
The old turtle didn't say anything, and put his head on Ye Cang, trying to push Ye Cang away, but there was no intention of taking a detour. Ye Cang was afraid that the old turtle would hurt and it was worth slowly retreating.
"Where do you need to send it? The old turtle's trip is a pilgrimage, and you have to go it step by step by step."
The direction of the old turtle was Taoshan Village, where there were only some old people. Is there something else on the other end of Taoshan? But Ye Cang didn't think much, but the old turtle went further, so he moved back a little.
After walking like this for a long time, no matter what you encounter in front of you, you will turn over when you encounter a stone and block your way to the peach tree. No matter how long it takes, you have to dig a hole in the peach tree and pass through the hole.
Although the old turtle is very old, its claws are sharper than anything else.
Ye Cang also wanted to help along the way, but Ye Cang never cut off the peach tree. It was the peach tree that Taoshan relied on for its living, and just moved the roadblock in front of the old turtle away.
Ye Cang picked the fruits on the road when he was hungry. Even if the fruits were very green, he didn't spend time looking for the red fruits. He just moved the stones tirelessly.
When the old turtle stopped sleeping, Ye Cang went to the mountain to pick two red peaches and placed them gently in front of the old turtle, for fear of disturbing the old turtle.
After Ye Cang fell asleep on the rocks, the old turtle slowly opened his eyes, took a bite of the peach, and then walked forward, walking very quietly.
But when he passed by Ye Cang, he kicked Ye Cang's face with his hind legs: "Damn little thief! I don't want so many fruits in Taoshan, so I have to want the old turtle's flesh to make a bun."
After the old turtle took two more steps, it stopped again and its claws stomped on the turtle shell. The gray and green on the turtle shell was kicked off, revealing a jade-like tortoise shell.
There seemed to be small words on the tortoise shell, which fell off and fell to Ye Cang's hands.
After the tortoise shell fell off, the old turtle walked forward slowly. But now he watched slowly walking, but he walked very quickly, but he still walked very straight.
"Silly boy, Tuoshan... Tuoshan... Where is the mountain? The camel's cause, and the camel's fruit.
Ye Cang, you have to strode forward, keep stride forward, and move forward straight. Don’t look back when you walk high, there are mountains ahead! Take another step, and then take another step, don’t be afraid!”
The giant Turtle, who traveled twenty miles a day, arrived at Taoshan Village without a short while. It stopped outside Taoshan Village for a long time and finally entered Taoshan Village. However, it looked a little nervous at this time, and the turtle blinked and blinked.
At this time, the old turtle walked very slowly, and stopped and walked for a long time. He walked to the old beggar's wooden house, but the old beggar did not stay in the wooden house for the first time.
There was a jar of wine on the jade table, and a jade cup was in his hand to drink. Under the jade table, there were a small wooden cup, as if it was prepared for an old turtle.
The old beggar drank wine and spoke on his own, his voice was dull and he did not have any feelings.
"Can the straight road be smooth?"
The old turtle stopped in front of the wooden cup, and after a long time of silence, he said in a deep voice: "So your heart, no regrets, no guilt."
The old beggar did not see that lazy look at all, and it was rare to be serious: "If you come out at that time and make a life for all living beings, that disaster might disappear. If you escape, I will be sorry for your ancestors and the creatures.
You live the longest and know too much, you are afraid...
My way is an opportunity and a disaster. I cannot see that creatures suffer because of me; crying because of me will inevitably be eliminated. If it is missing, it must be filled."
The old turtle listened, raised his head, his eyes seemed a little hazy.
The old beggar suddenly laughed, but the old turtle could see that the old beggar's smile was very pale, without any emotion, but the old turtle tasted the deep bitterness.
"For me, this may be the best. I am worthy of the creatures. They have not suffered because of me. Even if I could not taste it at that time, now...
But I have no regrets. When I see them laughing, I know I should have no regrets."
The old beggar added wine to the jade cup, drank a full jade cup, looked at the old turtle and said, "I have never blamed you, that day before and that day after."
The old beggar suddenly smiled freely and said, "This may be the best ending."
When the old turtle heard this, his head was buried in the wooden cup. The turtle's body kept twitching, his eyes were red, and tears rolled into the wooden cup and slowly overflowed.
Silent, under the cold moonlight, there is only the sound of wine and dripping sounds.
......
When Ye Cang woke up, it was already noon. He slept very hard.
When Ye Cang got up, he saw the white jade-like tortoise shell at his hand.
The old turtle had long disappeared, but when he woke up, the old turtle's voice appeared in Ye Cang's mind without hesitation.
When Ye Cang looked at Taoshan Village again, he saw a familiar back, wearing a blue and green robe with one hand behind him.
But in Ye Cang's eyes, the Master has become much older than before.
The Master looked back and his face looked old at this time. When Ye Cang saw it, he even forgot to salute and shouted in surprise: "Master?"
The Master looked at Ye Cang and smiled, like the spring breeze blowing on his face. When the Master turned around, he saw the Master holding a green Confucian shirt with his other hand.
