I dreamed of returning to ancient times, and I became a beast tamer
Chapter 54 Jiang Xue's Desire for Progress
As the fingers move, time quietly speeds up.
Since we were inside the car this time, the curtains were closed and there was no reference to time.
For Lu Yuan, it was just a one-second gap. He had just finished explaining, and the next second he heard the driver say, "Master, we have arrived at Qianshan City."
This strange feeling of fast-forwarding time made Lu Yuan dazed for a moment.
Lu Yuan withdrew his hand of thought, lifted the curtain of the car, and saw the city gate gradually appearing in front of him.
The surrounding tall mountains are lush and green, stretching into a continuous area.
The emerald green river meanders through the mountains, its sound can be heard for ten miles, and all you can hear is the roar of the river.
When the convoy arrived at the city wall of Qianshan City, the gatekeeper came to search, count the number of people, and collect tolls.
Lu Yuan doesn't have to pay any fees, Zhuge Xiu will pay for him.
"There's someone hiding under your car. Come out now. Are you trying to evade taxes?"
"what?"
Zhuge Xiu's voice sounded in front, and before Lu Yuan could react, he heard a familiar girl's voice again.
"I, I'll be right out..."
A sound came from under Lu Yuan's carriage.
"This is my toll, please accept it." The girl said weakly.
"That's right, don't think of any crooked ideas."
The goalkeeper pointed at his pet dog and said that if he wanted to evade taxes, he had to avoid his pet dog's nose first.
Otherwise there is no way.
And a beastmaster who can evade the sense of smell of a canine pet must be difficult to deal with.
Lu Yuan pulled aside the curtain of the right window and saw a petite girl with a dusty face and mud stains all over her body, and a small mantis beast standing on the girl's shoulder, waving its two front paws and greeting Lu Yuan.
"Jiang Xue?" Lu Yuan was surprised.
He never expected that the girl would be hanging upside down at the bottom of the carriage and following him all the way.
Is her arm strength that strong?
Lu Yuan looked at the girl's slender arms, then looked at her pet, and understood.
The fact that she could hang upside down under the car had nothing to do with her physical fitness, but everything to do with the mantis beast beside her.
The mantis beast is naturally strong. Jiang Xue's body is light, so it only needs to stretch out its two hands to hold the beastmaster's waist, and the other four legs are firmly fastened to the horizontal bar under the carriage. It does not require too much force.
Before Lu Yuan started practicing, he felt the car was a bit bumpy.
It turned out that the noise was caused by her sneaking into the car.
"You, you got the wrong person, I'm not Jiang Xue."
Jiang Xue covered her little face with her hands, not wanting Lu Yuan to see her dirty appearance.
"Your Mantismon has greeted me, stop pretending, what are you following me for?"
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes and exposed her lie in front of her.
Jiang Xue had no way to escape and could only tell the truth:
"I, I want to find a way to awaken the skill Star. I don't want to live in the village forever...
"I am a rural girl. I am already 16 years old this year. Most girls of my age in the village are married, but I am the only one who is still unmarried...
"Now that the evil spirits in the south are gone, the village won't have to pay tribute anymore. Grandpa will definitely devote himself to finding a man who is willing to marry into the Jiang family...
"I don't have the innate talent for taming beasts. Once I get married, I won't have time to train the little mantis. Like other people of my age, I will just muddle through, have children, and stay in the village for the rest of my life...
"I don't want to live that kind of life. I want to travel around the Great Zhou like my predecessors and broaden my horizons!"
As Jiang Xue spoke this, her voice became smaller and smaller, and she seemed to lack confidence.
But when she said the last sentence, she still plucked up the courage, raised her head and told Lu Yuan that she did not want to live an ordinary life, she wanted to broaden her horizons.
Lu Yuan looked at the girl and felt the depression in her heart, which was so real.
At the same time, he also felt the struggle under fate, the heart that dared to fight against fate.
Is this really a dream?
It always feels like this is the real world.
"Why don't you get in the car? Stop blocking the road. The people behind you still need to get in."
The goalkeeper came over from the end of the convoy and told Jiang Xue to get in the car and not to block the road.
Jiang Xue's momentum, which she had accumulated with great difficulty, was suddenly interrupted by the goalkeeper's roar and she shrank back.
"You come up first."
Lu Yuan opened the curtain in front of the door and reached out to pick her up.
"Ah, senior, do you agree?" Jiang Xue saw Lu Yuan stretching his hand in the air, and a look of joy immediately appeared on her face.
"I agreed to something, you come up first."
"Yes, senior!"
She smiled happily, at least the senior did not turn her away and could take her into the city.
As soon as she stretched out her hand, she saw her dirty little hands and her clothes covered in mud and dust, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Snapped.
Lu Yuan didn't mind her being dirty. Seeing that she hesitated, he immediately took the initiative to step forward, held her little hand and pulled her up.
The convoy immediately continued to move forward. Zhuge Xiu in the front leaned out of the window and gave Lu Yuan a thumbs up.
Lu Yuan didn't know what he meant, so he didn't reply. Instead, he lowered the curtain, got back into the car, and said to the girl opposite him:
"I won't talk about your upside-down car. After coming to Qianshan City, have you thought about how to develop? How many days can the money on hand last? What kind of job can you do to support yourself and Little Mantis?
"Although the little mantis doesn't need to eat resources, you don't have the talent to tam beasts. If you want to live your own life, you need to compete with others for resources. This is not an easy road. The first problem to be solved is work."
Lu Yuan has been a volunteer teacher for half a year. When she speaks, she unconsciously uses a didactic tone, analyzing her current problems word by word.
Jiang Xue was stunned by what she said. The courage she had just built up was once again shattered, and she immediately felt confused.
Yes, she didn't have any plans, but because she saw a wider world from Lu Yuan, she developed a yearning for the outside world.
Then she got excited and saw Lu Yuan went to Qianshan City, so she followed him.
Now that she has entered Qianshan City, she feels confused.
But no matter how confused she is, at least she has taken this step. For the rest, she has to find a way to make money.
"Me, Little Mantis and I can be sparring partners. We can go to Mantis Beast's martial arts gym to find a job. Grandpa said that martial arts gyms in big cities are crowded and short of sandbags. I can be a sandbag for others. No one wants me here, so let's go find a job in a bigger city!"
Under tremendous pressure, Jiang Xue quickly came up with this plan.
Even though she hadn't experienced much, she hadn't even planned how to survive.
But isn’t that how my grandfather got through this? He took one step at a time. As long as he could survive, he could slowly improve himself and travel around the Great Zhou.
She wanted to retrace her grandfather's steps, work in the city, change cities every year, and look for opportunities to improve the strength of her pet.
When Lu Yuan heard this, he put away his questioning look and said seriously:
“As long as you can find a job.
"However, whether you can succeed or not, I will write a letter to your grandfather and tell him what you really think.
"Your grandfather is not a pedantic person. As long as you speak up, he will support you.
"You probably didn't tell Grandpa before you left. He must be very anxious now."
Lu Yuan and the Jiang family have an agreement, and his trees are still planted in the Jiang family compound. If he doesn't stabilize Uncle Jiang, who will cultivate his trees?
As for Jiang Xue's matter, Lu Yuan felt that it was not a big deal.
Because in reality, there are many such students in remote rural areas who are trapped in resource difficulties and lack of knowledge and are eager to make progress.
Lu Yuan has always been supportive of students like these who want to make progress.
However, the help he could provide was limited. It was enough to help them analyze their current situation, point out the direction of their efforts, and lead them to take the first step towards becoming a Beast Tamer.
The rest depends entirely on luck.
