Chapter 302 Heading to Nandian Town
"Huh? Are you going with us?" Zhao Ya was a little surprised.
"That's right, I want to go and have a look." Gui Xuanqing said seriously.
Gui Xuanqing indeed thought so.
The conversation between Zhao Ya and Shen Yunshen yesterday shocked him greatly.
Especially Zhao Ya's words that people can't help themselves in the world made him unable to sleep at all after returning home.
Gui Xuanqing, who had been well protected by his family since he was a child, finally understood what the dangerous world meant.
But the more this happened, the more curious Gui Xuanqing became.
He really wanted to see what the real world was like, so he rushed over early.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Ya rejected him directly.
"no."
"Why? I promise I won't talk too much. I'm just watching how you act. Isn't that okay?" Gui Xuanqing was puzzled.
"The reason is very complicated, and I can't explain it to you at the moment, but you just need to remember one thing. This matter is very involved, and I don't care, because I have completely fallen out with Xia Jiye and the others, but you are different."
"You still have to attend classes at Chuanwu Hall, so if you follow, Xia Jiye and the others will most likely be angry with you. Do you understand?" Zhao Ya said.
Gui Xuanqing wilted upon hearing this.
Before his father left, he specifically told him to have a good relationship with Xia Jiye and other elders who taught the practice.
So after hearing what Zhao Ya said was so serious, Gui Xuanqing naturally didn't dare to persist anymore.
"Then senior brother, you have to be careful." Gui Xuanqing could only say this.
Zhao Ya smiled and said, "Don't worry."
After explaining these trivial matters, Zhao Ya went straight down the mountain.
This time the guard at the door didn't even ask.
joke.
They all saw what happened to Zhao Ya last time, and even the arrogant Elder Xia was forced to apologize in public.
They are just little guards, how dare they say anything else.
On the contrary, Zhao Ya obeyed the rules and made a report in front of the door, saying that he would probably not come back tonight.
Naturally, the guards were all smiles at this, even claiming that it was true, not daring to be dissatisfied at all.
Zhao Ya couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw this.
This is how the atmosphere gradually deteriorates.
This is not the fault of Xia Jiye alone, but the result of many elders and even most people in Canglong Temple.
Everyone is compromising without a bottom line, and everything is negotiable. The final result is that everyone is overstaffed and everyone is harming each other.
Although Zhao Ya got convenience this time, it was because the guards in front of the door were afraid of him.
What if it is those ordinary disciples?
Do they have to pay some benefits to complete things that are originally within the rules?
Unfortunately, these are not things that Zhao Ya should worry about, because now he is unable to change them at all.
After descending the mountain, Zhao Ya went straight to the south.
It is clearly written on the task list that the properties occupied by the disabled are in Nandian Town, 70 miles south of Canglong Temple.
The distance of seventy miles is only one meal for Zhao Ya.
But not long after leaving Canglong Temple, snowflakes began to fall in the sky.
In an instant, heavy snowflakes fell, and then were swept far away by the howling cold wind. The temperature was so low that it could freeze a person's soul.
In such horrible weather, not to mention people, even wild animals will not come out to look for food.
Zhao Ya didn't care at all and arrived at Nandian Town very quickly.
Unexpectedly, Nandian Town is not shabby. Instead, it is quite prosperous because it is close to a highway.
The shops facing the street are also antique and have a bit of charm.
Even because the New Year is approaching, even in the bad weather with heavy snow, the streets are still bustling and lively.
Zhao Ya walked along the street, looking at these dazzling shops, thinking that they didn't look like they were run by a group of lonely people.
No wonder Canglong Temple would find a way to recover the rent. The appearance was indeed too ugly.
While Zhao Ya was walking along the street, a group of people suddenly stepped forward and blocked the way.
The leader was a lame man on crutches, who cupped his hands towards Zhao Ya with a smile.
"May I ask if you are a young hero from Canglong Temple?"
Zhao Ya narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you recognize me?"
The lame man hurriedly explained: "Young hero, don't get me wrong, we don't mean any harm. The reason why we recognized you is entirely because all the disciples of Canglong Temple have a smell on their bodies, so we recognized you as soon as you entered the town. you."
"Oh? Smell, what does it smell like?" Zhao Ya said with a half-smile but not a smile.
"I can't tell you. Actually, it's more like a feeling than a taste." The lame man explained with a smile.
Zhao Ya took a deep look at the lame man in front of him and saw that he was only in his forties. Although he was disabled, he was very clean and tidy, and even when he was looking at him, there was still no smile on his face. The slightest change.
"What's your surname?"
"How dare you call me your surname in front of the young hero of Canglong Temple? My surname is Yang, which means the same name."
"Zhao Ya!"
"It turns out to be Young Master Zhao, please come here."
Yang Bin stepped out of the way and gestured with one hand with a smile.
Zhao Ya nodded and walked forward without any politeness.
This group of people followed behind.
Only then did Zhao Ya realize that the group of people following him were all more or less disabled.
Some are lame and have difficulty moving.
Some have poor eyesight and need help. Others, although there is no abnormality on the surface, keep giggling until someone gives him a sign, and then he knows what it means.
"There is nothing we can do. Except for a few orphans and widows, everyone in our town is basically disabled."
Yang Bin explained from the side, his tone full of desolation.
Zhao Ya said nothing.
Soon they came to a house, located behind the main street, which was considered a place of tranquility amidst the bustle.
Someone had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw Yang Bin arriving with Zhao Ya surrounded by them, someone immediately led the way, and someone even opened the cotton door curtain.
When he lowered his head and walked inside, Zhao Ya found that the room was very clean. Although the furnishings were very old, they were still in good order.
There was a brazier in the room, and although it was warm, the air was filled with a pungent smell of charcoal fire, which was obviously caused by poor quality charcoal.
After they were seated, a little girl came forward with a tea tray and gave Zhao Ya a cup of hot tea.
Zhao Ya reached out and took it, "Thank you!"
The little girl didn't realize it at all.
Yang Bin said: "She was born deaf and mute. She can't hear what you say."
Zhao Ya fell silent and gently sipped the tea in the cup.
Yang Bin said to himself: "I know why Young Master Zhao is here, but we didn't mean to default on the rent. As you can see, the town is full of disabled people who cannot stand on their own feet..."
At this moment, Zhao Ya suddenly interrupted him, "Looking at shopkeeper Yang's speech and behavior, it seems that he has gone to school?"
