Volume 1 Chapter 3 Who Is My Salvation
People who have experienced the pain of jealousy often go to extremes in their thinking when they are lonely.
All the misfortunes and pains he has encountered in his life will appear in his mind, and he will magnify the most recent encounter, and then sadly tell himself that life is tormenting him like this, roaring with anger and madness in his heart, but hiding helplessly in the corner.
cry.
The extreme of this kind of emotion is the most dangerous. Many people will do stupid things if they do not withstand the inner temptation.
If you can communicate with others at this time, even if it is just common trash talk, it will give them a hint of warmth and help. There is a top solution to the panic and helplessness of the soul: to be needed or noticed by others.
Fortunately, when Jiang Yun was about to fall into the abyss for more than half a year, Liu Yiyi came into his life to chat with him.
The little girl's compassion, sympathy, companionship and encouragement are, to a certain extent, the salvation of his helplessness and loneliness, and are the last candle in the darkness of his soul.
"My master often says that I am a poor child."
"When I was a child, people in the village didn't like girls. I wasn't given food at home. My grandma even scolded and looked down upon my mother and me. Then my mother scolded me and cursed me again. I was very surprised at the time. Aren't grandma and my mother women?"
The wind blew gently in the yard, and even the willow trees rustled softly, listening to Yiyi's words.
Jiang Yun, who was in a daze, looked up at Liu Yiyi who was telling him a story. For no reason, a burst of warmth and tranquility filled his heart. The sadness and pain in his heart were all washed away.
He suddenly firmly believed that the beauty of the female sword fairy on the moat would not be as beautiful as Liu Yiyi a few years later.
Yiyi's legs were swaying slightly, and her smooth and delicate legs like white lotus roots were so pitiful. "Fortunately, they still need me to work, leaving me with a bite to eat. It's not much, but it allows me to survive."
"When I was six years old, I was criticized by my grandma for eating a whole bowl of cabbage porridge. My parents wanted to beat me, so I had to hide in the fields. Until late at night, I didn't dare to go home.
, thinking about finding a straw pile to sleep in for the night.”
Her voice was very calm, without anger or grievance, and everything seemed to be taken for granted.
"As a result, I found the sleeping master in the field. He had a wine gourd hanging on his waist and a sheathed sword on his back. His slovenly appearance did not look like a practitioner at all."
Jiang Yun thought of the old drunkard's behavior and silently agreed in his heart.
"Then I stole the only money bag the master had on him and the sword on his back. As a result, before I could run ten meters away, the master grabbed me by the neck and pinned me to the ground."
Recalling this, Liu Yiyi couldn't help but laugh.
"Anyway, I followed the master in the end, but he didn't agree. It was me who followed him after seeing his extraordinary skills."
"I don't know why, but I felt that living with a sloppy drunkard was more comfortable than living at home, so I followed my master. As for home, it doesn't matter whether I come back or not. Anyway, they planned to let me live for another two years and sell me to
Someone else becomes your daughter-in-law."
"The master slowly taught me how to read and practice swordsmanship. Then I came to Wushen City and became a guest at your house. In fact, the master spent those years mixing money to buy wine, and he also asked me to play with you more. In this way, he
Even if he doesn't work, your parents will not fire him."
"At that time, I was still calling you young master all day long, and I was working as a book boy for you and studying with you."
At this point, fearing that Jiang Yun would be sad if he recalled too many things, Liu Yiyi changed the subject and said firmly, "Anyway, after meeting Master, I am no longer pitiful, I have become happy."
Realizing that Jiang Yun was somewhat sympathetic to what she said, Liu Yiyi waved her hands and said with a smile, "So you have to cheer up, life is more than just the current situation, and life will get better."
Jiang Yun nodded gently and sighed softly.
Although the other person's comfort made him feel much better, he still couldn't really feel free and free. Yiyi met her master and changed her poor and unfortunate life. What about me?
Now, who else will care and help me?
Unexpectedly, Liu Yiyi suddenly stretched out her right hand and handed it to Jiang Yun.
"My master also often said that for a girl like me, whoever marries me in the future will be very lucky."
"Seeing that my uncle and aunt took good care of me at that time, and you are so pitiful now, I will reluctantly agree to be your future wife. In this way, you will become happy and no longer so depressed! I will catch you again in the future.
When the time comes, I will protect you!"
Looking at the white little hands in front of him, Jiang Yun stood there in a daze, his head unable to react for a while.
The scene was a bit strange. Liu Yiyi blushed and pouted dissatisfiedly, and raised her right hand again, "What's wrong with you? Let me just say something if you want!"
Jiang Yun was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead. He pursed his lips and wiped the outside of his thighs helplessly, "Can I?"
"I didn't say I must marry you, it's just an agreement now."
Liu Yiyi's cheeks were also flushed. Fortunately, it was dark and she was not seen by the nervous Jiang Yun. "But you have to get over your sadness. If you keep a cowed cat in the room all day, my master may not be happy.
."
...
The next day.
It was just dawn.
"You brat, I haven't been back all night. What kind of ecstasy soup did you give my apprentice?"
Lao Liutou's shocked and angry voice echoed in the small courtyard.
In front of him, a blushing Liu Yiyi held Jiang Yun's hand and protected half of her body in front of Jiang Yun. Jiang Yun stumbled and said, "Yes... I will try my best to take care of her."
Obviously, Liu Yiyi's heartfelt confession last night not only helped Jiang Yun get out of his psychological haze, but also gave him courage and confidence because of his new responsibilities.
I didn't say it was okay, but when I mentioned it, Lao Liutou's hair immediately exploded and he vaguely wanted to jump up.
"You, you, do you have the ability? Do you have the money?" Lao Liutou was furious, "You don't have a little bit of strength, you don't have a little bit of money. None of your hangers-on are useful. They all ran away after the accident.
.If I hadn’t tried so hard to rescue you, you would still be in jail.”
Liu Yiyi was afraid that the master's loud voice would scare Jiang Yun, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said coquettishly.
"Master, then you can teach him how to practice! The two of us will learn your skills together. By then, your swordsmanship will have a new inheritance. If he practices well, he can even make you look good!"
"dream!"
Who would have thought that Lao Liutou's attitude was so resolute that he would not accept this trick at all, "Don't teach! You deceived my apprentice and you still want me to teach him how to practice? Don't even think about it! And you, if you dare to teach him secretly, you and I will
This stinky girl is not done yet."
Seeing that Jiang Yun, who had just built up a little bit of confidence, was frightened by his master, his face turned pale again, and he began to lower his head with a sense of inferiority. Liu Yiyi stamped her feet anxiously.
"Crack!"
A big hand patted Jiang Yun's shoulder, stopping his half-step movement. Jiang Yun turned his head and looked, and saw Xu Tuzi with a look of charity standing behind him, with a calm expression.
"Why are you so crazy so early in the morning? You disturbed me even when I was sleeping in the house."
Old Liutou obviously knew this person's temperament, and he immediately gritted his teeth and retorted, "That's bullshit, you must have heard it last night."
"With your wicked character, you must have been suppressing your laughter at my jokes since last night. Now that you've had enough of watching the show, you ran out, why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf? Take a mirror and look at your cheeks, you're laughing so hard that you're twitching.
"
Xu Tuzi really rubbed his face, his face lost its composure and he suppressed a smile.
Liu Yiyi, who was beside her master, looked shamelessly. These two old guys were indeed more unreliable than the other.
"Hey, I was meditating all last night. I really don't know what happened." Although Xu Tuzi still tried to explain, everyone present could see that this person must have eavesdropped on the live broadcast in the courtyard last night.
"Shit, you old guy, you just watched my apprentice sell you out."
Although Lao Liutou still kept talking, after Xu Tuzi appeared, he sat down slowly and no longer jumped in anger.
"It's a good thing for children to encourage each other. If you make a fuss, the child will be scared and hide in the house." Xu Tuzi kept putting his left hand on Jiang Yun's shoulder, and then took it back.
Old Liutou hummed twice but said nothing.
Xu Tuzi looked at Liu Yiyi and said with a smile, "Yiyi, it's a good thing that you can help this kid build up his confidence. Otherwise, if this kid doesn't stay in the house all day long, we can't spend money to support him all year round.
Now that you have come out of sadness and despair, just work hard to live, and there will be no obstacles that you cannot overcome."
Liu Yiyi's eyes lit up, "Uncle Master, do you want to teach him how to practice?"
"I?"
Xu Tuzi raised his brows, "I don't want to accept a disciple. To accept a disciple, I have to spend money and put in effort to teach him. After I teach him, I have to worry about him deceiving his master and destroying his ancestors and defecting from the school. A series of things are too troublesome, so it is better not to accept him."
"
"this..."
Liu Yiyi glanced at Jiang Yun worriedly, fearing that his self-confidence would be undermined.
Drunkards and lazy guys, no one is reliable!
"But..." Xu Tuzi changed his voice and said with a smile, "My formation shop is still short of an apprentice. If you are willing, do some odd jobs for me first, and I will give you a fixed salary. If you
His performance is good, and it’s okay for me to give him some guidance from time to time.”
Jiang Yun, who originally lowered his head, was overjoyed and bowed gratefully, "Thank you, thank you."
Unexpectedly, Xu Tuzi waved his hand, but turned out to be very serious, "I have to say it first. I have a bad temper. If you give me a hand, just work hard and be diligent. You are an old drunkard who missed his old love. I don't need it.
I'll show you mercy."
The meaning behind the words is clear. Jiang Yun is not familiar with him, so there is no need for him to be polite to you.
Hearing this, Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment and then nodded hurriedly.
The courage came out of nowhere. After shaking slightly, he said with some determination, "You have been taking care of me for the past six months. I am really grateful. Don't worry, I can bear the hardship."
In fact, Jiang Yun had already thought through the problem thoroughly in his mind.
Lao Liutou remembered his old feelings and helped him, which was the most benevolent thing.
What if Lao Liutou leaves tomorrow with Liu Yiyi, and Xu Tuzi is not familiar with him. At that time, why should people care about you?
At this moment, although there is still some sadness and pain in my heart, I have been educated since childhood, and I can figure it out with a quick mind. If I don't have value here, who will think highly of myself?
"And I promised Yiyi last night that I could no longer be pessimistic. Avoiding can't solve any problems."
Lao Liutou, who originally thought this boy was ambitious, heard him mention Yiyi again, and his cheeks suddenly bulged and he became angry.
Xu Tuzi was slightly stunned. He glanced at Liu Yiyi, who was twirling his arms and eyebrows. He was a little confused. Did this kid come out of his sadness and start to turn his grief and anger into strength?
