The ninth chapter of the arrogant scholar
Not only is there a sound of footsteps, but also a sound of wooden barrels hitting the rocks and trees.
Changshou listens and judges the distance.
A wasp flew over buzzingly.
Changshou turned his head and looked at it.
The hornet suddenly solidified in the air, flapping its wings in vain.
I remember that Changshou first showed his skills in front of his master without a teacher, so that hundreds of swallows could fly around the thatched hut from head to tail.
The master was stunned at first and then furious, and finally cried and said to Changshou: "Changshou, your little tricks are not impossible, but it is really not done! What I let you understand is the great way! Do you understand it?"
Later, Changshou saw his master secretly wiping his tears while watching Taishang Ganying.
Changshou felt very guilty and felt that he had let down his master's teachings.
Now he let the hornet stay motionless in front of him, it was not because he did it intentionally, but the hornet was just like that when he looked at it.
Liu Er walked happily with a shoulder pole. There was a bag on his back. Listening carefully, you could still hear the sound of broken metal rubbing.
Suddenly, a wasp shot in! Then it flew around Liu Er's head.
"This, this, what is this?" Liu Er said in surprise. Then he fell head-on and lost consciousness.
Changshou walked out of the bushes and squatted in front of the red-haired Liu Er. He took off Liu Er's bag and opened it, and a golden light shot out.
Changshou picked up a heavy gold ingot and looked at it.
The master said that his opportunity had come, and I don’t know if it was his opportunity.
Putting down the golden ingot, Changshou looked at it for a while and then picked up a hairpin. A phoenix woven from golden silk trembled slightly on the hairpin as if it was about to spread its wings and fly high.
Looking at this hairpin, Changshou was moved. He was really moved, but he was trembling in some way.
He carefully put the hairpin into his arms, thought about it and put the gold ingot into his arms. Then he tied the bag back and tied it behind Liu Er.
"I saw you come back with a wooden barrel and you knew you were not a trustless person. Besides, there was a mountain song that sang very well, although it was not what you sang." After Changshou said that, he floated down the mountain.
Half an hour later, Liu Er woke up. He sat up suddenly, and felt relieved when he touched the bag and tied it to his back.
"Why did you fall asleep?" Liu Er said in wonder.
Changshou walked down the mountain with light steps. After an hour, he walked back to Nanluo County.
It was very hot this day, and the sun made people drowsy. He wanted to go back and take some rest.
As soon as he walked to the gate, he saw a man standing there talking to Lingxu.
"Master, if you are good, let me stay here for two days. I will definitely leave in two days. I will really go to Tokyo to take the exam. I am really a scholar!" The man said in a pleading tone.
"Since you are a scholar, then go to the county school to spend some time. It's really inconvenient for us." Lingxu shook his head and said firmly.
"The people from the county school said they would not entertain outsiders." The man replied embarrassedly.
"Oh, then we have nothing to do." Lingxu spread his mind and said helplessly.
Changshou looked at the man up and down. His gray cloth shirt was already patched. His shoes had been opened, revealing dirty cloth socks.
It is hard to believe that he is a scholar from the appearance. Is it rare to study without spending money? Why are there still people who are so down and out?
"Senior brother, let him stay in the thatched hut for only two days. It's convenient for others. Any expenses are counted as mine!" Changshou said, unable to see it.
"Junior brother, you are kind-hearted and soft-faced! In the future, you will sit and eat the whole country when you open the mountain gate. Well, for the sake of your junior brother, come in. But I agreed that you must leave in two days!" Lingxu said helplessly.
"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master!" the scholar bowed his hand over and said.
Changshou brought the scholar to the thatched hut, and the scholar bowed to thank him again.
"You must have no food, I'll get some." After saying that, Changshou turned around and left.
The scholar looked at Changshou's back with complex feelings.
Soon, Changshou came back with a few vegetarian buns.
"My little master, I can't thank you for your kindness!" The scholar said with emotion. After saying that, he grabbed the vegetarian steamed buns and ate them voraciously.
Changshou poured him a bowl of cold water and placed it in front of him.
Soon, the scholar ate no vegetarian buns he brought from Changshou like a wind and clouds.
"I'll get a few more." Changshou stood up and left.
The scholar was stunned and had already left long.
He picked up the bowl and drank a few big mouthfuls of cold water. Suddenly tears poured out into the bowl he was still holding.
The scholar was sobbing that he couldn't even swallow the water, not like he had just eaten a few vegetarian steamed buns in one breath.
The scholar ate two more vegetarian steamed buns that Changshou brought, but stopped eating them.
"Dare you ask me about my name?" Changshou asked.
"I dare not, I will be more serious if I put aside the enemy." The scholar replied.
"Brother, is you going to Tokyo for a big exam?" Changshou continued to ask.
"Yes, some people left more than half a year in advance. I'm already late now. I'm so ashamed." Shi Zailiang shook his head and said.
Scholars who went to Tokyo to take the exam made friends and sang harmony, and even wandered in the official family, are the norm now. But this all requires money.
He couldn't even keep up with his own food and clothing, so how could he think about those things?
Although Changshou did not understand these, he also saw Shi Zailiang's embarrassment.
He fumbled around his waist for a long time and took out a small cloth bag. It was the scattered silver exchanged for the ingot of silver.
One or two liang was used scattered these days, and there were only nine liang left here.
Changshou opened the cloth bag and took out a few pieces of roughly five taels. He held the silver in both hands and sent it to Shi Zailiang.
"There is not much left in the path, and this little money is not respectful. Wan Wang should not refuse." Changshou said.
"That's what it means!" Shi Zailiang waved his hands repeatedly.
"Why can't you? You are covered with jade and jade, and there will always be a day when you shine! When you are the rich man who is on the list of gold, don't forget me!" Changshou said with a smile.
"How could it be! I have received great kindness from my little brother, and I will never forget it!" Shi Zailiang said as he stood up and bowed three times to Changshou.
Longevity has given way.
"I really don't dare to take such a great gift." Changshou said.
"I think I, Shi Zailiang, studied hard for ten years and had a lot of talent but fell to the point of begging along the street. When I have a big handle in my hand in the future, I will definitely be happy to revenge! A shame in Yixue!"
Shi Zailiang said this and his eyes were even bloody.
"I don't know what I have encountered in my brother over the years. But it's better to let go. I'm lucky to gain fame, wealth, and my life will be lost. Don't force it." Changshou advised.
"A man who is a real man will not leave his reputation for eternity. If he shows his ambitions in his heart, is he still a human being?" Shi Zailiang shook his head and said.
"It seems that Brother Tai is really a persistent person." Changshou smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I told the Taoist priest that I would stay for two days before leaving. That's because I was hungry and tired and couldn't walk anymore. Now you give me money and food, so I'll leave tomorrow morning. I'll be in the capital early to feel at ease." Shi Zailiang said.
