county town.
Beizheng Street, Dongzheng Street, Nanzheng Street, Beizheng Street, four wide "Main Streets" delineate the scope of the inner city.
Within the four main streets is the inner city.
Beyond the main street is the inner city river which is not very wide.
On the other side of the river is the outer city.When Xu Guangling and the others first came to the county, they lived in the outer city, separated from the inner city by a river.
But in fact, this river is something that ordinary people can't cross in their lifetime.
In fact, there are ordinary people in the inner city, but those ordinary people are more or less related to cultivators. They themselves, or their children, are qualified to take the step towards the class of cultivators.
And this is impossible for real ordinary people.
Lopp is ten years old.
His father set up a small stall on the East Street to sell sesame seed cakes. Since the age of seven, Luo Pu has been a powerful helper.
In other words, this ten-year-old boy has been a pillar of the family for three or four years. If there is no accident, in the future, Luo Pu will take over his father's position and become the owner of this stall.
This kind of life is a bit tiring, but it can't be called hard work, especially hard work.
Their life is much better than many ordinary people. At least every ten or twenty days, they can buy some meat to reward the family.
Large pieces of meat, paired with their homemade biscuits that are crispy on the outside but soft on the inside, are simply the most delicious enjoyment.
At that time, it was also the day that Luo Pu was most looking forward to.
Every morning, after the sun comes out, the stall is opened, and every night, when the sun is about to set, the stall is closed.
Luo Pu and his father had walked the street from home to the street countless times, and this little boy would look at the river beside him and the scenery across the river with ignorant and longing eyes.
There are trees on both sides of the river, but they are not too dense.
The river is not too wide.
To put it simply, walking on this side of the river, occasionally, you can see the scene on the other side of the river.
Although most of the time what you can see is only the high-walled compound, but the occasional glimpse of the not-so-high-walled compound will make the young boy envious and imagine for a long time.
A ten-year-old boy is not young anymore, especially for Luo Pu.
Maybe he didn't know much when he was seven years old, but in the past three years, "seeing the world" on the street made him understand a lot without knowing it.
For example, he has to pass by twice every morning and evening, and there are some things on the other side of the river.
"The people who live there are all Master Cultivators."
"It's not just the master, but also the young master and miss. They look better than each other, tsk tsk!"
Yes, Lopp agrees with that.
Very much agree.
Last year, that day in August, he even remembered how many days in August, the 23rd!
That day, when he was leaving the stall, he and his father were walking on the road normally, and he also looked at the opposite side of the river from time to time, and then suddenly, his eyes became straight.
The steps also stopped.
He saw a very good-looking little girl.
From the time that little girl appeared in his sight to disappearing, it was only a moment.
And for a moment, there is no time to look too much.
But in that moment, this little boy deeply realized what it means to be so beautiful that one loses one's soul.
When he came back to his senses, the young man looked at his hands, his feet, and his clothes, and inexplicably reached out to touch his ears and hair, then lowered his head, and continued walking forward with his father.
Never felt anything before.
But at this moment, the young boy felt that he was out of place.
It was incompatible with the beauty he saw just now.
The day went on, but the young boy became a little silent inexplicably, but secretly, he paid more attention to the discussions on the street about the cultivators in the inner city.
On the other side of the river, he has never seen that beautiful little girl again, but he has seen many other people.
Many are middle-aged and elderly.
Regardless of whether it is a middle-aged person or an elderly person, it is different from what a teenager sees every day.
Clothes are different.
Even if you don't mention clothing, many other things are different.
The boy couldn't describe it, he couldn't describe it accurately, he just knew it was different.
The kind that can be seen at a glance is very, very different!
Gradually, the boy understood.
The river that he can wade across with a few thumps actually separates two completely different worlds.
Ordinary day.
After a day's work, the boy went to sleep normally after dinner.
Today's sleep seems a little different.
After waking up in the morning, the boy sat on the bed in a daze.
Last night, he seemed to have a dream?
The use of "as if" does not mean that he has forgotten whether he has had a dream, nor does he only remember the dream but forget the content of the dream, but...
It's that he remembers that dream clearly, and he hasn't forgotten a bit of it!
What made the little boy even more unbelievable was that the content of the dream was so weird that he couldn't believe it at all.
All day long, Luo Pu was out of his mind.
When I brushed my teeth, I almost poked my mouth.
When I was eating, my throat was scalded by the hot soup instead of almost.
As for going out of the stall, the boy made mistakes repeatedly and was directly scolded by his father.
Finally got through the day, and in the evening, the stall was closed.
When he was about to go home as usual, Luo Pu waited and tapped his toes on the ground for a while, and finally made a request to his father.
"What, are you looking for a bridge that leads to the other side of the river?"
"There will be someone waiting for you there to take you to the inner city?"
After the unbelievable rage, the father was deeply worried. He wondered if his kid was delusional and lost his mind. He even raised his hand, ready to slap the kid.
heavily.
Let him wake up.
But just when the big hand that had been smoky all year round was about to cover the boy's pretty little face, the father hesitated.
The expression in the boy's eyes made his father tremble unconsciously.
The father never expected that such a complex expression could appear in his son's eyes.
Unknowingly, this kid spinning around his feet has also grown up!
Father hesitated, and finally said: "Let's go!"
"Let's go, just take a look!"
"If you don't see the person you want to see, you will go home immediately!"
The father didn't believe Luo Pu's words, but just decided to indulge his teenage ambitions once. ——He was also a teenager.
Father's footsteps are heavy.
The young man was jumping with joy, but there was hesitation in the joy, which was a lot of uncertainty.
In fact, the young man himself doubted whether his dream came from his own wild imagination.
But the dream was too real and too clear.
If he doesn't confirm it, he really...wouldn't be willing to die!
