Chapter 140
It was dark and cold.
Zheng Ling took a bucket of water and carried it outside Datong's shop, poured half of the bucket into his wooden tub, took off his bunt and threw it aside, shirtless, picked up a cloth towel hung on a rope, dipped it in water and wiped it carefully Upper body, head kept down.
Jin Fenghuang landed on the ground in front of him, raised his head and called softly: "Zheng Ling."
Zheng Ling knew what it wanted to ask, smiled at it, and said in his heart: "It's okay."
Jin Fenghuang stood beside him quietly, accompanying him, watching him wash his clothes, watch him dry them, and watch him go back to the house.
"Good night Zheng Ling"
"Goodnight Little Jinjin"
Seeing Zheng Ling huddled under the blanket with his head covered, Jin Fenghuang stood still for a long time before turning his head and looking out the dark window.How far can a love without talent go?
The next day, when the rooster crowed, other people in the Datong shop got up one after another, and the room became a little noisy, so Zheng Ling slowly got out of the bed.
When everyone saw Zheng Ling, they stopped what they were doing and stared at him blankly, feeling very surprised.In the past eight years, no matter it was windy, rainy or heavy snowing, He Yuan was always the first to get up every day, but what happened today, to wake up so late?
Someone poked his head out to look at the sky, wondering if the sun is coming out from the west today?
More people asked Zheng Ling if he practiced martial arts late last night and suffered from the cold.
Zheng Ling didn't have much energy at first, but when he heard everyone's words of concern, his heart immediately warmed up, like drinking a bowl of hot tea in a cold winter day.
Zheng Ling said with a smile: "It's just that I went to bed very late last night, so I got up late, which made everyone worry."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.The older one patted Zheng Ling on the shoulder, telling him not to go to bed so late in the future, he was tired enough with so much work to do every day.
They have said this many times before, but Zheng Ling still insists on practicing exercises every day, getting up earlier than chickens and going to bed later than cats.But today, Zheng Ling nodded uncharacteristically: "I won't sleep so late in the future."
Everyone was wondering again, what did he mean by this?Could it be that he stopped practicing?Zheng Ling's next words confirmed their guess: "I won't practice this martial arts anymore."
Zheng Ling said this in a very cheerful tone, with a smile on his mouth and eyes, but when everyone looked at him, he blinked unnaturally and lowered his head to put on his shoes.
Who in the Wuming Villa does not know that there is a servant who has been practicing basic skills for eight years, and now that he says he will not practice, no one will believe it.So everyone thought Zheng Ling was joking, and followed his words, jokingly said to him: "That's right, you finally figured it out."
It wasn't until Zheng Ling slept with them and got up together for five consecutive days that they were convinced that Zheng Ling really stopped practicing martial arts.
After this, anyone who knew Zheng Ling would ask him, "Why did you stop practicing so suddenly?"
Zheng Ling always replied with a smile: "I just don't want to practice anymore."
Since then, whenever the old servants in the villa bring newcomers to work, they will warn: "Look how far away, after practicing the basic skills for eight years, but there is no talent, and no master is willing to teach, in the end it is still nothing ?You guys, just do your own work with peace of mind and don't think about it all day long. "
In Zheng Ling's spare time, he stayed with everyone, laughing and cursing every day, as if he didn't care about martial arts anymore.
Golden Phoenix likes Zheng Ling's smile the most, but it doesn't like him like this, and it can't bear to look at it. It knows that Zheng Ling's hippie smile hides all the bitterness and helplessness.And Zheng Ling also knew that it had many secrets of martial arts handed down from generation to generation, as long as he asked, it would definitely be given to him even at the risk of being punished by the patriarch.But in the past eight years, Zheng Ling has never asked for it, never even mentioned it.
That night, the waiter in the front hall came to tell Zheng Ling that Zhang Kaiji, who came to the villa on the same day as him, was only 14 years old and had already graduated as a teacher. In the future, he will take over the position of owner Cen and become the next owner.At the end, he sighed again: "You said that we are also human beings, why can we only be slaves in Wuming Villa? Is it just because we lack that so-called talent? Are the others not important at all?"
Zheng Ling didn't speak.For these, he understands more deeply than anyone else.It's just that he woke up a little late, and it took him eight years to realize the reality.
In the dead of night, Jin Fenghuang suddenly said to Zheng Ling who was lying on the bed and getting ready to sleep: "Zheng Ling, if someone is willing to accept you as an apprentice, your achievements will definitely be no less than Zhang Kaiji."
Zheng Ling smiled and said: "The world is not the only way to go to practice martial arts. If this way doesn't work, just go another way. Don't you see that the worlds before me were also very good?" Speaking of this, Zheng Ling put his hands under his head, looked at a certain place, and murmured: "It's just, my Jianghu dream..." Then he laughed at himself, that's all.
Seeing this, Jin Fenghuang hurriedly rubbed his head against his neck: "Zheng Ling, you are not worse than others at all, you are not worse at all, I have a lot of martial arts here..." Before it finished speaking, it was caught by Zheng Ling. Interrupted: "It's getting late, I'm going to bed, good night Xiao Jinjin."
Seeing Zheng Ling yawn, he turned his body and closed his eyes. After a long time, Jin Fenghuang said, "Good night, Zheng Ling."
In fact, Zheng Ling was quite happy. He was really happy for Zhuangzhu Cen. He was able to find a successor so quickly instead of having to wait for decades like the old Zhuangzhu.He wants to share this news with Xiang Zhuoying who is far away from home. In the future, your Jianghu guild will be more lively.
A few days later, seeing Zheng Ling quietly sitting in front of the door basking in the sun, Jin Fenghuang asked him: "Zheng Ling, have you thought about how to live in the future?" Ling might not be able to stay any longer, and it didn't want Zheng Ling to stay here any longer.
Zheng Ling crossed his legs, squinted his eyes, and said leisurely: "I have already thought about it. When my contract expires, I will leave the villa."
Jin Fenghuang asked cautiously: "Will you go for a walk in the rivers and lakes?"
Zheng Ling shook his head, opened his eyes and looked into the distance: "No, I'm going to find He Yuan's parents."
Jin Fenghuang looked into Zheng Ling's eyes and asked, "The sky is big and the earth is big, where are you going to find them?"
Zheng Ling didn't answer, and after a moment of silence, he said, "We will find it."
