Chapter 206: The Wonderful Outside
Chapter 206: The Wonderful Outside
"Just let it go like this?" Er Gouzi asked.
"What else can we do? When you wanted to practice martial arts with them, they didn't tell us clearly what to do. It was all voluntary. Isn't that what they said when they asked you?" Qiangzi asked.
"What did you say at that time? I forgot." Er Gouzi thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out what he said at that time. He only remembered one sentence: You can practice martial arts with me.
It's not just Er Gouzi who doesn't remember, there are many people who don't remember either. The thing he remembers most clearly is [Practicing Martial Arts]
Hearing the word "practice martial arts" made everyone stunned. At a young age, who wouldn't admire people who knew martial arts? So they excitedly followed Xiao Cao'er to start running and practicing martial arts. As long as they could learn kung fu, nothing else mattered.
So in the past few years, they have been practicing martial arts with Xiaocaoer. In addition to practicing martial arts, Xiaocaoer also taught them some things to pay attention to when surviving in the wild, as well as some things like inquiries. In recent years, they have gone to the county town or town to learn to inquire about information whenever they have time, and they have done a good job.
Sometimes Sanmao would take one or two people out for a walk. When Simao came back from vacation, what he said most to them was: When I go to Beijing, I will definitely take you to see the world.
Sanmao often told them that if there was a chance, she would take them out to see the world and not stay in Qingshan Village. People must go out to have more opportunities.
Xiao Cao'er said: The world outside is big and wonderful. If you want to know what's happening outside, you must go and see it for yourself.
Because everyone has a different understanding of the wonderful things outside. Some people find it wonderful because of the scenery, some people find it wonderful because of the food, and some people find it wonderful because of the unknown.
Xiao Cao'er, a modern college student, has some knowledge. She wrote a poem for herself, "Heart to the Distance".
The world is so big, I want to see it.
Mountains, rivers, lakes and seas are calling to me in my heart.
I want to walk on the grassland, accompanied by the breeze.
Look at the leisurely white clouds and the vast blue sky.
I want to climb to the top and touch the clouds.
Looking down at the vast earth, my heart is filled with lofty ambitions.
I want to wander on the beach and listen to the waves hitting the shore.
Pick up shells and snails, and spread laughter.
The world is so big, I want to see it.
Pack your bags and chase your dreams.
Crossing the jungle and desert, not afraid of the hard road,
Just for the unknown scenery, I am intoxicated.
May your steps never stop, and your soul be free to expand.
I leave my poems in this vast world.
After listening to Xiao Cao'er and the others' words and reading the poem she wrote, everyone looked forward to the outside world even more. So, they decided to follow Simao and the others when they went to Beijing to see for themselves how wonderful the outside world is.
They began to work hard to learn martial arts from Xiao Cao'er and read travel notes to learn about the local customs and practices of various places. This journey was full of unknowns, but they were not afraid and could not wait to explore a wider world.
The group of young men were in the martial arts arena, each of them having their own random thoughts while waiting for Sanmao.
At this time, Sanmao had gone to the county town early in the morning and was not at home, so Simao had to talk to his sister.
"Sister, you don't know how much Xiaoxing and Qiangzi wanted to go out with us to see the world. They were very disappointed when they heard me say that they couldn't stay in the capital with us for a long time. After I told them two options, they didn't dare to stay there any longer."
"Do they still have a martial arts training ground now?" Xiao Cao'er flipped through the book in her hand without looking up.
"Yes, Qiangzi said he wanted to find Third Brother. He asked Third Brother to help bring something back before. I wanted to ask Third Brother if he brought it back, but Third Brother is not at home now, and I am embarrassed to go and face them." Simao said with his head down.
"What should we do? Should we let them wait in there until the third brother comes back?"
"That won't work. We don't know when Third Brother will be back. It's not realistic for them to wait in there for him to come back. How about you, sister, run the trip for Little Brother?" Simao said to Xiaocaoer with a flattering look on his face.
"How should I tell them in the past?"
"Go over and tell Qiangzi that Third Brother has gone to the county town and he doesn't know when he will be back. When he comes back, tell him to go find them."
"Okay, I want to pick some flowers to dry in the sun, and then go to the back door to tell them." After saying this, Xiao Cao'er put down the book in his hand, got up and walked out, bringing a small backpack with him when he arrived in the yard.
"Sister, let me go pick them with you." Simao said and picked up a small backpack.
"Aren't you afraid of meeting Brother Qiangzi and the others at the back door?" Xiaocaoer looked at Simao meaningfully and said.
Simao silently put down the backpack and said to Xiaocaoer, "Forget it. I'll go with you tomorrow when my sister goes to pick the grass."
Xiao Caoer hurried out of the house, and did not forget to tell Simao: "Fourth brother, if grandma asks about me later, please help me find an excuse not to let grandma go with you. Grandma is old, and the way up the mountain is difficult to walk, so don't let her go. Also, remember to lock the horse at the martial arts arena later."
"Okay, don't worry, sister. I'll tell her about it."
Xiao Cao'er walked slowly with the basket on his back, turned to the back door of the yard, stood at the door and said to Qiangzi and the others: "Brother Qiangzi, my third brother has gone to the county town. I don't know when he will be back. Do you want to wait here or go back first?"
"Is that so? Then we won't wait any longer. I can come to see him when he comes back." Qiangzi and a group of people came out.
"Sister Xiaocao'er, where are you going?" Xiaoxing saw Xiaocao'er carrying a basket and making a big turn to come to the backyard.
"I want to go up the mountain to see if there are any flowers I want to pick." Xiao Cao'er said, "Do you have anything to do later?"
"No, it's not the busy farming season, and there's not much to do." Er Gouzi said. "What flowers do you want to pick? I'll go with you."
"Okay, those of you who have work to do can go and do it, and those of you who have nothing to do can help me pick the flowers." Xiao Cao'er said, but seeing so many of them, it seemed a bit awkward, "But if a large group of you follow me up the mountain, others will think that my family is going to pick flowers again. Or you can come back later, I'll wait for you at the old place."
"Okay, you go up the mountain first, we will come later, and you have to be careful." Qiangzi said.
"Okay, got it." Xiao Cao'er parted ways with them at the intersection, waving her hand as she spoke.
