Dreaming about the world, embarking on the path of spiritual practice

…

"Come up!"

The old fisherman Ma Wu returned to the bamboo raft, stretched out his arm to let Yu Liang hang down, and helped him get on the rickety bamboo raft.

"Stand still!"

Ma Wu shouted, and his voice echoed on the wide river. Holding a long pole, he skillfully rowed the bamboo raft to the other side.

The river was murmuring and the breeze was blowing on his face. Yu Liang stood on the bamboo raft and gradually relaxed.

"Here we are, did you see it? That's where I live!"

When he was approaching the shore, Yu Liang looked in the direction of the old fisherman's horse's five fingers and saw the outline of a wooden house with a thatched roof vaguely revealed in the gaps in the woods.

After landing, Ma Wu quickly pulled the bamboo raft to the shore and fixed it, and then led Yu Liang towards home, holding a heavy big carp in his hand and a satisfied smile on his face.

"You are lucky today. I happened to catch this big fish. You can make fish soup!"

After passing through a lush forest, the two came to the outside of the wooden house.

The wooden house in front of me is quite unique. It is surrounded by a fence and has two small vegetable gardens inside the wall. It is full of green and vitality.

"Xianger, grandpa is back!"

Pushing open the fence gate, Ma Wu shouted.

As the sound fell, the door of the wooden house opened with a creak, and a girl trotted out from inside.

One glance for thousands of years!

When Yu Liang saw this girl, he felt that although she looked very ordinary, she was not as refined, pretty, or temperamental as any girl he had seen before traveling through time. But Yu Liang had an inexplicable feeling for her.

"Grandpa, I caught another big fish today!"

The girl ran up to Ma Wu, took the big carp from his hand, and raised the corners of her mouth with a sweet smile.

"I also picked some mushrooms today, and I'm going to make fish soup for grandpa!"

Only then did she notice Yu Liang coming back with Ma Wu. He glanced at Yu Liang doubtfully, then turned to Ma Wu and asked, "Grandpa, who is this?"

"Hello, my name is Yu Liang, nice to meet you!"

Before Ma Wu opened his mouth to introduce, Yu Liang took the lead in extending his hand to the girl and introducing himself.

Looking at Yu Liang's extended hand, the girl did not respond, but immediately turned around and ran away.

Seeing this scene, Yu Liang realized that his angle was a bit rash just now. This was not a modern place, but an ancient one.

"Why, do you like my granddaughter?"

Looking at the way Ma Wu looked at him, although his words were very gentle, Yu Liang felt a little guilty. After all, it was his first time to come to someone else's house. He said he liked his granddaughter the first time he met her. Isn't this asking for a fight? ?

"How, how could that happen?"

Yu Liang quickly waved his hands to deny it, with an embarrassed smile on his face.

Ma Wu showed a meaningful expression and patted Yu Liang's shoulder.

"Okay, don't stand outside, come inside and sit down. Xiang'er has already gone to prepare dinner. We can eat in a while."

Yu Liang responded and followed Ma Wu into the wooden house.

Looking around, I found that although this wooden house was simple, it was very cozy. Some fishing gear and agricultural tools are hung on the walls, showing the owner's hard-working and simple attitude towards life. There are some simple furniture placed in the house. Although not gorgeous, they are very practical.

Yu Liang sat at the table, his eyes drifting to the busy figure in front of the stove from time to time.

Suddenly, Xiang'er noticed Yu Liang's gaze, a slight blush appeared on her cheeks, she lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at Yu Liang, and her movements in her hands were slightly panicked.

When Yu Liang saw this, he felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart. Realizing that he might have been a little abrupt, he quickly withdrew his gaze and pretended to focus on the wood grain on the table.

What happened to you today? I didn't do this even when I saw beautiful girls before!

Could it be that this is the so-called love at first sight?

A white figure could not help but appear in Yu Liang's mind.

That was the woman he saw on a video for the first time in high school. His first feeling at that time was that she was his first love. The sweet warm wind blew his heart. Even after experiencing countless things later, she was still the same. My best first love!

Yes, that’s what it feels like!

While Yu Liang was thinking wildly, Xiang'er had already stewed the fish soup and brought it to the table.

On the milky white fish soup, there are several gray-white mushroom petals floating, exuding an alluring aroma.

"Grandpa, your fish soup."

Xiang'er said softly and handed a bowl of steaming fish soup to Ma Wu.

Then, she turned to Yu Liang and handed another bowl.

"this is yours!"

Yu Liang took the fish soup, took a sip with a smile, and then his expression changed slightly. Oh my god, there is no salt or pepper in the soup!

"How's it going? Does it taste good?"

Yu Liang nodded and replied with a smile: "It tastes good! This is the most delicious fish soup I have ever tasted."

"If it tastes good, drink more. There's still a lot in the pot!"

"Thank you, don't be too polite, you can sit down and drink too!"

Yu Liang held the fish soup in the bowl, blew it with his mouth, swayed it, and after it cooled down, he finished it in a few big mouthfuls.

Seeing this, Xiang'er immediately wanted to be polite and help him add more.

Yu Liang stretched out his hand to block it: "No, I'm full!"

"You're full with just a bowl of soup?" Ma Wu looked at Yu Liang doubtfully and said.

"Well, I have a small appetite!"

Seeing Yu Liang put the bowl down and knowing that he was full, Miss Xiang'er stopped forcing him to add more soup.

It didn't take a while.

The grandfather and grandson finished a large bowl of fish soup.

Finished the meal.

Miss Xiang'er put away the tableware.

The old fisherman Ma Wu came to the open space outside the door and began to move.

Yu Liang leaned against the door frame and watched his slow movements. At first, he thought he was just exercising after a meal.

But when he saw Ma Wu suddenly do a backflip and leap directly from the ground to the two-meter-high roof, the two eyeballs in his eye sockets almost popped out.

Fuck!

This is too unscientific!

He hurriedly ran out for a few steps, turned around and looked up at Ma Wu on the roof.

I saw the other person standing in a horse stance, breathing slowly through his mouth as his body floated slowly.

Is this the inner strength and mental method of spitting out the old and incorporating the new?

All that came to Yu Liang's mind at this moment were images of martial arts heroes flying over eaves and walls, chopping wood and breaking rocks, and flying through the air.

Watched it for a little while.

"Hoo~"

Ma Wu breathed out a long breath, made a closing movement, then turned over and landed lightly in front of Yu Liang.

Yu Liang was stunned for a few seconds, then immediately clasped his fists and saluted: "Fifth Master, I really didn't have the eyesight before. I didn't expect you to be an expert hermit."

"Well, can I become your teacher and learn martial arts from you?"

"you?"

Ma Wu looked around Yu Liang, patted him left and right, and finally said, "With your qualifications, I'm afraid you'll have to suffer a lot if you want to practice martial arts."

Hearing this, Yu Liang slapped his chest loudly and said decisively: "The thing I am not afraid of the most is suffering!"

"Oh? Really?"

Hearing this, Ma Wu laughed directly.
