The fast travel is too late

Chapter 7

In the following days, Xin Wu lived relatively comfortably. The boy who hadn’t changed his name was still called Cen Shen. Cen Shen’s temper was getting better and better. Not only did he arrange three meals a day, but he would occasionally bring Xin Wu to Walking around the back of the mountain, not doing other things, just going out for an outing, Cen Shen would bring her a lot of food every time before going out, now in addition to nuts, cakes are added, and new flavors have been developed.

What remained unchanged was that no one came to visit Cen Shen's house, as if it was a forgotten place.

This morning Cen Shen went out again, and Xin Wu also flew to the fence at the door as usual, staring at the path at the door, waiting for Cen Shen to come back after a while.

From the first day when Xin Wu arrived, Cen Shen would go out every morning to exchange things with others, from pine nuts to various nuts to the pastries that had been made in the past few days.Every time he goes alone, he comes back alone, and he has never seen any close friends come to see him.I don't know who he has been exchanging things with.

Before the sun came out in the morning, the sky was slightly bright, the temperature was a little low, and no one cared about the front of the house as usual.

Waiting and waiting, Xin Wu became a little anxious.The sun had already started to become scorching, but Cen Shen hadn't come back yet.After circling a few times in mid-air, she was a little worried whether Cen Shen was in trouble outside.After all, the world is still a bit dangerous.

In the past, when Cen Shen went out, Xin Wu never thought of going out with him to have a look, but now it is still a bit difficult to follow the path to find someone.

The country roads are winding and winding, one on top of the other, and people who are not familiar with the road conditions can easily go to the side road.

If it's raining, you can still see footprints or something, but it's a pity that these days are all sunny, and footprints don't exist.

Xin Wu with its own wings was flying in mid-air, standing high and looking far away, flying straight along the path, and within a short while, two figures appeared at the end of the path.

The taller one on the left is wearing an indigo blue dress, and the shorter and thinner one on the right is wearing an azure long gown, like the one Cen Shen wore when he went out in the morning.

The speed increased sharply, and within a short while, Xin Wu flew near the two figures.Taking a closer look, it was indeed Cen Shen, with a stranger beside him.

"This is the little guy you raised, he's pretty good! He'll come out to pick him up."

The man in the indigo blue clothes looked like he was in his early twenties, he was tall and strong, and he looked like a boor.Seeing Xin Wu flying over, he wanted to reach out and tease him.

Ignoring the stranger, Xin Wu looked him up and down, and Cen Shen seemed to be in a good mood and in a good mood.It landed on the boy's left shoulder, lightly pecking at the feathers on the wings, but his ears were raised high, listening to the conversation between the two.

"Her name is Ah Wu, she is a very good child."

Turning his head to look at the little guy sitting firmly on his shoulder, Cen Shen touched Xin Wu's paw, "Ah Wu, this is Cen Hai, my cousin."

"Good boy?" Cen Hai looked surprised. He knew that his cousin was very interested in such a little thing, but it was a bit baffling what a bird had to do with a good boy.Why not raise a bird as a human?
He chirped twice, as if he was responding to what Cen Shen said.Xin Wu thought about the figure that had passed by just now, to be honest, Cen Hai and Cen Shen didn't look much alike.Cen Hai is dark and strong, he is not as good-looking as Cen Shen.

The two of them didn't talk much along the way, at best it was a question-and-answer mode.Most likely it was Cen Hai, who was black and strong, who was talking, and Cen Shen occasionally hummed twice to keep the conversation going.

Listening to the intermittent conversation between the two, Xin Wu realized why no one had visited Cen Shen for so many days.

As mentioned earlier, Cen Hai is Cen Shen's cousin, and the aunt who spoke to Cen Shen under the tree last time is Cen Hai's mother.

Cen Hai's family is the closest blood relative of Cen Shen's family in the village. In the past, their family would occasionally take Cen Shen to have a meal, and Cen Shen would often visit the village.

Last spring, some people said that they saw Cen Shen's father, Cen Xian, on the boat going out to sea, but at that time, Cen Xian got on the boat and that man got off the boat, so the two didn't talk much.Unexpectedly, the next day, the man heard that the ship that Cen Xian was on was enraged by the sea god on the way, and the whole ship sank to the bottom of the sea, and none of the people on board survived.After the man came back, he told the villagers what had happened. After all, besides Cen Xian, there were also young people from the village who wanted to ask for Xian on the boat.

Cen Shen, who didn't expect anything from his father, had expected this incident. He never thought that his father would come back one day.If he can't get a fairy, his father won't come back, and if he can get a fairy, he won't come back.

After receiving the news of his father's death, Cen Shen was only stunned for a moment, and then he packed up his things in an orderly manner.He also knew what to do about the funeral.

But just because he can accept it doesn't mean that the people in the village can accept it too.

There are quite a few people in the village who left with Cen Xian, which is also related to the morals of the world.In today's age, ghosts and ghosts appear very frequently.No one can tell whether there are immortals or not in the world, but Taoists who can subdue demons are still caught in large numbers.So most people still believe that there are immortals in the world.That's why when someone left with Cen Xian, no one stopped him.

Now that they are all dead, naturally some people can't accept it.

If you don't want to blame yourself, you can only blame others.Those who lost their loved ones had no way to resent a dead person, so they could only vent their anger on Cen Shen who was still alive.

Anyone who doesn't like to be abused doesn't like to put his hot face on someone's cold ass, so Cen Shen gradually stopped interacting with the villagers.Since last year, in the name of his father's filial piety, Cen Shen didn't go out very much, and refused to let others come to his house. As time went by, no one really went to his place.

However, since half a month ago, Cen Shen has changed.Every morning, I would go to acquaintances in the village to exchange pine nuts.Such a big change will naturally attract the attention of others, no, Cen Hai came to inquire about the news.Then I found out that Cen Shen kept a little bird as a companion.

It was tiring to stand still all the time. Seeing that the yard had arrived, Xin Wu ignored the two slow-moving humans and flew directly into the main room, waiting for Cen Shen to come and feed her.

Speaking of which, she was the only one who didn't have breakfast among the two of them. The two people outside came over after having breakfast at Cen Hai's house.Only Xin Wu was waiting for someone hungry.

Those with two legs are not as fast as those with wings. By the time Cen Shen and Cen Hai reached the main room, Xin Wu had already taken several sips of cold water.

"Wait a minute, we'll be able to eat right away." Cen Shen walked quickly to the table, took the small white porcelain bowl on the table, and began to prepare Xin Wu's long-overdue breakfast.The pine nuts poured into the bowl are all peeled pine nut kernels, which is convenient for Xin Wu to have breakfast.

Xin Wu ate breakfast in a small white porcelain bowl, and she caught a glimpse of someone staring at her out of the corner of her eye, which made her eat a little awkwardly
The person standing next to Cen Shen stared at Xin Wu for a long time, until Xin Wu was about to explode, and then he turned his head and said to Cen Shen, "You make it really fat, it looks delicious look."

Xin Wu: "..."

I really want to hit someone!If she couldn't beat her, she would have killed this idiot for daring to call her fat.

Xin Wu stopped eating, and stood on the table, looking at the guy who wanted to touch her with a blank expression.

"Look at the body shape, it's round and smooth, right!"

One hand wanted to reach out to Xin Wu's wings, but Xin Wu hid it and did not let him touch it, so he turned to Cen Shen and said, "Where did you get such a guy, look at this, we Is there such a bird here? It seems like I haven’t seen it before.”

There were still some pine nuts left in the small white porcelain bowl, and Cen Shen didn't say anything when he saw that there were not many left.

Hearing Cen Hai's words, Cen Shen didn't take it seriously, "I brought her back from the back mountain. As for me, I haven't seen her before. There are too many birds on the back mountain. You can see how many of them."

"It looks so big, you are sure you will only keep it, if you want a companion, how about I find you a wolf dog? That thing can also guard the house, it is better than this little one. Cen Hai pointed to the little chubby bird standing on the table, and said to Cen Shen.

It is obvious that Cen Hai looks at the problem from a utilitarian point of view, which is how most people think.Having a dog can also help you look after your home. What else can you do with a bird besides watching?It's so small, but it's not big enough for someone to eat in one bite.

He had already planned where he would get a puppy when Cen Shen said he wanted to raise a dog.The flower dog raised by his uncle's family is already pregnant, and will have a litter of puppies in a few months, and Cen Shen can choose whatever he wants.

"Tell me, what kind of son of a bitch do you want?" Cen Hai patted Cen Shen on the shoulder, looking like two good brothers, and didn't notice that the little fat bird on the table was looking at him ferociously. He was about to slap someone with his mouth.

"I brought her back, and I must be responsible for her." Cen Shen looked at Xin Wu's ballooned appearance, and couldn't help but laugh, "I never thought about raising any other children except her." something. Her alone is enough."

"It's the only one?" Cen Hai looked at Xin Wu in surprise, and shook his head, "I don't think there's anything good about it, but as long as you like it."

Immediately afterwards, Cen Hai's words changed, "Don't say you don't want to raise others. When you get married, you still want to raise a wife and a baby."

Regarding this topic, Xin Wu said that she has nothing to say, and we will talk about future events in the future. I just hope that Cen Shen's future wife can treat her better.

However, Cen Shen's expression changed, and he didn't know what he thought of, and his tone became a little uncomfortable, "I am very comfortable living alone, why bother to find an outsider to make me unhappy."

After finishing speaking, regardless of what Cen Hai thought, he reached out and knocked on the table, and asked impatiently, "Don't worry about what you have, just tell me what you are here for today, don't tell me anything, just come here Look at that crap."

The hostility on the boy's body has obviously increased a lot.

Xin Wu shrank her head subconsciously, and found that Cen Shen didn't look at her at all, so she took two steps back quietly. Now Cen Shen is a little dangerous.

Saying that one can live a good life is like what a child said when he was angry.

Not frightened by the boy's sudden change of face, Cen Hai only felt that Cen Shen was indeed a child, and a somewhat willful child.Shaking his head helplessly, he is a cousin, and he must tolerate the petty willfulness of his younger brothers and sisters.

"Since last year, you have been staying at home and not going out, and you didn't even go to the ethnology study. I know that you want to keep filial piety for Uncle Cen Xian, but there is no conflict between keeping filial piety and you going to the ethnology study. You are good at studying, and you are studying well." Mister uses you as an example every day to teach people, saying such a simple thing, if you came, you would have learned it a long time ago."

While talking, Cen Hai thought of Mr. Xuezhong's "heroic posture" when he was teaching others, and he trembled a few times. Fortunately, he didn't have to go to the clan school anymore, otherwise he would be pointed at his nose and scolded for being too stupid by the teacher every day. good thing.

"So, let me ask, when are you going to study for Hui nationality?"

Ethnology?
It was only then that Cen Shen remembered that although there were people with other surnames in the village, most of them were surnamed Cen.The ancestral hall of the Cen family was built less than two miles away from the village, and the ethnology is also there.

Speaking of which, Cenjia Village is still very famous in the local area. In the past hundred years, Cenjia Village has produced more than a dozen scholars and several Jinshi. The most famous one belongs to the ancestor of Cen Shen. The position of the official, the ethnology was also funded and established by that high official in order to support future generations.

The rules in ethnology are more or less, and they are all the rules that everyone is accustomed to, and there is nothing to say.In the earlier ethnology, only the children of the surname Cen studied in the school, and the teachers who taught were all people with the surname Cen.After a long time, people with his surname gradually came to enroll.When there are too many people, various disputes will occur even in places where people study.Small groups are also more than one day.

I still remember that when Cen Shen first entered the ethnology, although he was talented and intelligent, in the ethnology, except for his husband, most people would stay away from him, and only a few cousins ​​would talk to him.But those cousins ​​of his were smart and smart, but they didn't have any talent in reading. They all learned the basic enlightenment books superficially, so they dropped out of school and went home.

Without the occasional gags from his cousins, Cen Shen became a loner.

Here I have to mention the small groups in ethnology, and these small groups are divided by surnames.People with a foreign surname are unlikely to accept Cen Shen in their small group. Not everyone with the Cen surname likes Cen Shen, but they don't all hate him either.So at first the small group with the surname Cen was still willing to accept Cen Shen.

However, Cen Shen was still in the second stage of middle school at the time, and the specific performance was that he always put on the attitude of the boss and his second child.This is nothing in the eyes of gentlemen, geniuses always have more personality.The same attitude in the eyes of peers is a relatively unbeatable performance.

In addition, Cen Shen was not very popular in the village because of his background, everyone always thought that he would be like his father, and wanted to seek immortality because of his bad brain that day.So everyone doesn't want to deal with him.Adults' attitudes can easily affect children's friendship status.

As time passed, there was no one around Cen Shen except a few cousins.

"Or do you mean you don't plan to study Hui nationality anymore?" Cen Hai's attitude was a little cautious.

Cen Hai's current attitude is a bit strange.Cen Shen thought for a while before suddenly realizing.

That was when the news of his father's death had just reached the village, and someone said in the school that he was an unwanted bastard, and he got into a fight with someone in a fit of anger, and went home without packing his things after the fight.Not only that, the next day he also spread the news through several cousins, saying that he would not go to study at the ethnology during the period of mourning for his father.

In this way, the reason for Cen Hai's cautiousness was explained. It should be because he was afraid that he would always remember the fight at the beginning, and would not even go to school in a fit of anger.

"I am still……"

Before he finished speaking, Xin Wu, who had been listening for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and jumped in front of Cen Shen.On the one hand, she felt that Cen Shen was still young and should go to school, but on the other hand, she felt that Cen Shen should not be forced to go to school regardless of his wishes.He yelled a few words without any strength, then leaned against Cen Shen's hand in dismay and did not move.

Originally, he had made up his mind not to go to ethnology, but when Xin Wu interrupted him, Cen Shen suddenly remembered something that happened a long time ago.

"After Qingming is over, I'll go to ethnology again!" Cen Shen saw that the little fat bird became energetic again because of his words, and a dark light flashed in his eyes quickly.

"Then let's make an agreement. I'll pass by Mr.'s door when I go back later, and I'll give you a message." After finishing speaking, Cen Hai stood up and prepared to leave, "I'll go back first, and I'll see you next time you."
