Chapter 1725 The Master Who Cannot Be Invited
That night, Wang Shu brought a ginseng to the wing where Tie Rui was temporarily staying.
“Brother Iron, thank you for being on the mountain before;
There's nothing I can do to repay you. If you don't mind it, just accept this wild ginseng! "
The wild ginseng, which was originally covered with some soil, has now been cleaned and placed in a wooden box, with a clean cotton cloth on it. This is obviously the best way for this ordinary farmer to treat a wild ginseng.
However, although this wild ginseng is a treasure to a mortal like Wang Shu, to an immortal cultivator like Tie Rui, the aura of this wild ginseng is not even comparable to a bowl of low-level spiritual rice.
But for Wang Shu's family, such a wild ginseng tree is enough to keep them fed and clothed for several years.
Therefore, Tie Rui did not accept the wild ginseng tree, but said:
"Brother Wang, you don't have to be so polite. I just do what I want to do to save people, and I don't need any reward.
What’s more, I don’t lack these things;
Brother Ginseng King should keep it for his own use!
In the future, whether it is used to recuperate the body of the elderly or sold for money, it will all be done for good. "
After that, no matter what Wang Shu said, Tie Rui did not accept the ginseng.
Wang Shu could only return to his wife with mixed feelings.
"Daughter-in-law, what should I do?
Brother Tie won't accept this ginseng. "
Wang Shu's eyebrows drooped, and his expression was even more depressing than if he hadn't caught any prey in three days on the mountain.
Yuyan yawned and waved her hands.
"If Brother Tie really doesn't accept it, forget it. You can keep him here for a little longer, and then buy more delicious food when he comes back from the city tomorrow;
During this time when Brother Tie is a guest, if nothing else, make sure he eats well! "
Yuyan couldn't think of any more ideas.
Wang Shu nodded, patted his chest and promised,
"Daughter-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely come back tomorrow with baskets of delicious food."
Early the next morning, Wang Shu had breakfast and went to the city carrying a basket on his back.
Tiedan pestered him and wanted to go, but Wang Shu refused.
“Dad is on business this time, I’ll take you there next time.
Just stay at home and wait for dad to come back. Dad will bring you sweets. "
When he heard that there was candy, Tiedan immediately became obedient.
Wang Shu is tall and strong. He sets out for the city in the morning and can be back before dinner. If he brings a child, it will be much slower.
What Tie Rui didn't expect was that Wang Shu was happy when he set out, but when he came back he was frowning, as if he had encountered some difficulties.
But I did come back with a basketful of delicious food, not only rice, noodles, salt, etc., I even didn’t forget the candy for Tiedan.
Tiedan got a big bag of candy, and generously gave a piece to each of Wang Shu and others. The rest of the big bag was his own. One piece a day would last until midsummer!
Tiedan was very happy, holding the candy in his mouth, but he didn't understand why his father was not happy after eating the candy.
Tie Rui was also a little strange. After dinner, he looked at Wang Shu who was sitting under the door and sighed, and asked:
"But what went wrong on this trip?"
Wang Shu nodded and said depressedly:
"Master Li has already bought century-old wild ginseng from other places, so he doesn't need more;
And he didn't want to move to Hedong Village. Firstly, the journey would be too difficult. Secondly, all his relatives and friends were in the city, so he would have no friends here. If his daughter suddenly had any minor problems, he would not be able to find a good doctor.
Alas, it's all for the sake of the children, and I can understand him.
But if this happens, the matter of setting up a school in the village may be delayed for who knows how long. "
Wang Shu said, unable to help but feel depressed.
He just wanted to open a school. How could it be more difficult than killing the wolf?
Hearing this, Tie Rui also felt a little pity.
Wang Shu and his son are both ambitious and want to change the future of the children in Hedong Village. Unfortunately, everything is difficult at the beginning, persistence in the middle, and a perfect ending is even more difficult.
Tie Rui thought for a while and suddenly remembered something. He looked at Wang Shu and asked a question that was impossible to answer:
"Brother Wang, do you have any books at home?
Any book will do. Can you lend it to me? "
Most of the human cultivators in the spirit world use the same language, but as for mortals, Tie Rui is not sure.
After all, the spiritual world is vast, and it is normal for many different languages to be born over the long years.
Although he didn’t know why Tie Rui wanted the book, since Tie Rui had saved his life, Wang Shu naturally answered all questions:
"Yes, there is a book in Yuyan's dowry, I asked her to get it."
Wang Shu, who had something to do, suddenly stood up and went to Yu Yan to get the book.
It was an old book with a slightly worn cover. What was written on it was actually the story of the Gu family immortal coming to the world to drive away diseases and save the people.
Although Tie Rui had not experienced it personally, he had heard about it.
It's just that the story from the perspective of a cultivator is naturally different from the story in the eyes of mortals, so the descriptions in many places are particularly dreamy.
Of course, it may also be because the person who wrote this book has profound writing skills, and he can outline the scene at that time in just a few strokes, which is fascinating.
For a moment, Tie Rui actually looked at it with interest.
Wang Shu and his wife were a little surprised when they saw Tie Rui flipping through the pages of the book very quickly.
The couple were not very literate and had never attended private school. They had no idea that scholars could read so quickly!
For a time, the couple's inexplicable respect for Tie Rui increased.
It took Tie Rui only half an hour to finish reading the storybook.
He closed the book, his eyes fell on the pages, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
How to say it?
It is quite novel to understand the Gu family and the world of immortal cultivation from this way.
What is certain is that if you understand the world of immortal cultivation and "immortals" from this way, you can understand it too narrowly and one-sidedly.
But it unexpectedly fits the appearance of immortal cultivators in the eyes of mortals.
At this time, Yuyan asked curiously:
"Brother Tie, what is this book about?"
Tie Rui came back to his senses and saw that the couple were very curious, so he explained:
"This is a historical story book. It records that hundreds of years ago, there was an epidemic in the world, which was rampant and caused countless deaths and injuries to people and animals, but no cure could be found;
All those who were infected with the epidemic died.
Later, an immortal named Gu came to the world and cured the epidemic, allowing the human race to continue to live in peace.
In order to commemorate this event, many people set up a longevity tablet for Gu Xianren, built temples to worship him, wrote stories to spread, etc."
After hearing Tie Rui's words, Wang Shu slapped his thigh,
"So that's what happened!
I've heard from the old people that there was indeed a serious epidemic in the past, but my grandfather was not born at that time!"
As for this incident, Yuyan has also heard several versions, but these stories are similar and all mention Gu Xianren, and it is these stories that make these mortals respect and worship the immortals very much.
