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

…

Go out early in the morning

Yu Liang bumped into Uncle Wu and his wife, who were about to leave the village with a bag on their backs.

He stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Wu, where are you going?"

"Yu Liang, let's go to Ding County to see Hu Zi. He has been gone for a few months. Hu Zi's mother misses him very much. I will take her to see him."

Hearing what Uncle Wu said, Hu Ziniang immediately retorted: "Obviously you miss your son, why are you talking about me?"

As soon as these words came out, Uncle Wu felt a little embarrassed and complained: "Don't you think so?"

Seeing the couple joking, Yu Liang smiled secretly.

Then I thought that it had been so long since he traveled through time and he hadn't gone to other places yet. Master had to leave for something yesterday, so he could take this opportunity to go out for a walk.

He said to Uncle Wu: "Huzi has been gone for a while, and I miss him very much. How about I go with you to see him!"

"Okay, let's go see Huzi together, and by the way, we can also have a tour around the county and gain some insights!"

After that, the three of them walked forward together.

The distance from the village to Dingxian is not far, about fifty miles.

The three of them walked not too slowly, and arrived at Ding County just before noon.

Dingxian is just a small county town. The city wall is not high and the city gate is not big, but the scene at the city gate is very lively.

Not only were a large number of people coming in and out, but there were also many vendors setting up stalls at the door, and the sounds of hawking kept coming and going, attracting passers-by.

In addition, there are soldiers guarding the city gates. In addition to checking the identities and goods of people coming and going, they also collect entry taxes.

Yu Liang had some scattered silver and copper coins on him, which were pocket money given to him by his master Ma Wu on weekdays. He had never used them much, but now he had accumulated a lot.

After paying the city entry tax, you enter the county.

The scene in the city in front of you is completely different from the scene outside the city.

On both sides of the street, houses are arranged neatly, and shops are located one after another. Each shop has its own characteristics.

Some shops have banners hanging in front of them, while others display a variety of goods, attracting the attention of passers-by.

People were coming and going on the street, some in a hurry, some leisurely.

There are also some food stalls and teahouses on the street for people to taste delicious food and rest.

At this moment, Yu Liang saw a patrol consisting of six people passing in front of him. The leader was holding a small black pennant. The people on the side fled when they saw it.

The six members of this patrol were not wearing official uniforms, but uniform black uniforms, and they were all equipped with weapons on their waists.

Yu Liang asked Fifth Uncle in a low voice: "Fifth Uncle, who are these people?"

Uncle Wu also replied in a low voice: "They are the law enforcers of the divine religion and are responsible for maintaining order in the city."

"You must be careful when you are in the city and don't cause trouble. The people of the cult don't care who is right or wrong. Anyone who causes a disturbance will be taken away."

Hearing this, Yu Liang nodded, thinking that with such strict law enforcement officers, the security in the county would not be so bad. It is no wonder that this place is so prosperous.

Continuing to walk forward, under the leadership of Uncle Wu, the three of them came to a medicine shop called Qingyi Tang.

According to the information received by Uncle Wu, Huzi was assigned to be a medicine boy in the Qing Medical Hall after more than a month of training after joining the Sun Moon God Sect.

Entering the Qing Medical Hall, I immediately saw Hu Zi squatting in the corner, grinding medicinal materials with a grinder.

"Tiger!"

Hu Zi Niang called out, and Hu Zi looked up and saw the three of them. An expression of joy immediately appeared on his face, but he hurriedly said: "Father, mother, Brother Xiao Yu, you leave first, and I will come find you when I have a rest!"

Just as Uncle Wu and Hu Ziniang wanted to continue talking, Yu Liang pulled them away from here.

Because he noticed that a middle-aged man at the counter stared at the three of them sideways when Huzi replied.

"Yu Liang, why did you drag me out? I still want to talk to Huzi!"

Uncle Wu, who was dragged out by Yu Liang, scolded him.

Yu Liang explained: "Uncle Wu, Huzi is working, Qing Medical Hall is a place with strict rules.

If we disturb Hu Zi's work, it will affect the normal affairs of Qing Medical Hall.

It doesn't matter if we are kicked out, but if Hu Zi is implicated and he is punished, it will not be good! "

After hearing Yu Liang's explanation, Uncle Wu immediately reacted: "Yes, yes, yes, it cannot affect Huzi!"

In this way, the three of them came to the tea shop opposite the Qing Medical Hall and waited.

Yu Liang sat on a chair, drinking tea and watching the passers-by boredly.

Um?

He suddenly discovered a strange place, that is, on the street where Qing Medical Hall is located, there seemed to be a lot of beggars!

Although since entering the city, I have seen many beggars along the way, but only one or two here and there.

But under observation, there were seven or eight beggars standing scattered near the Green Medical Hall.

They don't stay there long before leaving, but immediately new beggars arrive.

As we walked, the number of beggars seemed to be controlled to this number.

Although Yu Liang noticed this abnormality, he didn't think much about it. It was none of his business, so he shouldn't worry about it.

After about an hour, I finally saw Huzi coming out of the Qing Medical Hall.

"Tiger!"

The tiger lady hurriedly waved to him.

"mother!"

Huzi also ran over excitedly.

The family of three hugged each other and stayed tenderly for a long time before they separated.

"Father, mother, Brother Xiao Yu, I can't stay too long. I have to go back to work when the break is over."

Uncle Wu said with concern: "Huzi, you are working too hard!"

Huzi immediately replied: "It's not hard, it's not hard. Although I have to do a lot of work every day, it's not heavy work, so I'm not tired!"

"Besides, the food at Qing Medical Hall is so good. Not only can I have enough to eat every day, but I can also eat meat occasionally."

Being able to eat enough and occasionally eat meat sounds like a very happy life to Uncle Wu and his wife.

"It seems like you can't eat the pancakes mom made for you!"

Hu Zi Niang picked up the package in her hand, which contained vegetable pancakes she had carefully prepared.

"Mom, you should take this back to eat with daddy!" Huzi said with a smile: "Now I eat big steamed buns every day!"

Hearing that he ate so well, Huzi Niang put the vegetable pancakes away.

Yu Liang asked doubtfully: "Huzi, don't you practice martial arts on weekdays?"

Huzi scratched his head with his hand and smiled shyly: "Practice martial arts is too hard!"

"And my qualifications are not very good, so when the Qing Medical Hall was recruiting medicine boys, I volunteered!"

After hearing these words, Uncle Wu immediately praised him: "It's good to study medicine. If you study medicine well, you won't have to fight and kill in the future. It's best to be a doctor!"

Hu Zi Niang quickly nodded in agreement.

Huzi took out a handful of copper coins from his arms and stuffed them into Uncle Wu's hand: "Dad, this is my regular money for this month!"

"When I become a doctor in the future, I will have more money to honor you."

Uncle Wu looked at the copper coins in his hand, tears suddenly filled his eyes, and then he stuffed them back into Huzi's hands: "Silly boy, it's not easy for you to be out alone. There are many places where you need money. How can dad ask for your money?"

Huzi stuffed the money back to Uncle Wu and said with a smile: "Dad, I have everything to eat and drink at Qingyi Hall. I don't need to spend money at all. You can take the money!"

The two pushed back and forth, but in the end they couldn't resist Huzi's fifth uncle and had no choice but to accept the money.

"Oh, when Hu Zi grows up, he already knows how to honor his father!"

Uncle Wu couldn't help turning his head away, and tears couldn't stop flowing from his eyes.

"Father, mother, Brother Xiao Yu, I'm going back!"

The rest time was almost over, Huzi said goodbye and ran back to Qingyi Hall.

The fifth uncle and his wife stood there for a long time, and then reluctantly left.

"Yu Liang, let's take a walk around the county and then go back!"

"OK!"
