The barbecue on the beach mouth before, probably the only place in this area that is still active at night, the streets, except for a few scattered lanterns, have basically fallen silent.

Xu Guangling and the others also returned to the Sanjiang Inn.

Accompanied by the shopkeeper, the two entered the Datong shop, and then the shopkeeper said to an eight or nine-year-old little radish head on the edge of the two-person shop: "San'er, I haven't seen two adults yet!"

After a few simple greetings, the shopkeeper left, leaving the three alone.

In the bunk of ten people, at this time, everyone was full, some had already fallen asleep with their heads covered, and some were silently sorting their luggage, and they didn't seem to know each other or talk.

"Young Master, are you all monks?" the third child asked.

Xu Tonghui's eyes widened, and he wanted to scold, but Xu Guangling smiled first and said, "That's right." ”

"Young Master, do you think I can also be a monk?" The three children's eyes flashed, and they were a very pure, child's yearning for the magical world.

"Hehe, monks are not so easy to do, and being a monk is very hard. ”

"Young master, I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm the most able to endure hardship. ”

"Ha, this suffering is different, ordinary people can't bear it. Xu Guangling said, stretched out his finger and drew casually on the ground, three drawings and two paintings, and a figure came out.

Xu Tonghui looked at it and found that it was...... The shape of a flower?

Then he somehow felt that the shape was a little familiar, and after a pause, he finally recognized that it was the flower! the flower that bloomed at the door of the felt canopy!

The young master's fingers have not left the ground since he put it down, and he has been spinning, turning, and spinning, and then he has turned out of this flower.

"Look, this figure, can you draw it in your mind when you close your eyes?" Xu Guangling withdrew his hand and said to the three children.

Xu Tonghui closed his eyes and thought in his head.

OK!

But it doesn't seem easy!

And when he opened his eyes, he saw that the child named San'er was closing his eyes, and then his face was ...... Well, the convulsions, the painful look, must have been tried more than once, and then, he finally gave up and opened his eyes.

His face was a kind of loss that was deeply shocked, "Young Master, I can't do it......"

"It's nothing, it's normal if you can't do it, at least nine out of ten can't do it, so it's very difficult to be a monk, it's not something you can do if you want to. Xu Guangling said softly.

San'er nodded violently.

At the time of their conversation, or rather, since Xu Guangling and the two were personally escorted in by the shopkeeper, the people who had not slept in this Chase shop looked at them secretly.

(Covert observation)

I didn't dare to bother, but I seemed quite curious about how they were doing.

Before this, when Xu Guangling drew the figure and said those words, several eyes on the left and right secretly looked over, and some people stretched their necks.

At this time, a man in his forties suddenly whispered on his floor: "It's not difficult, it's very simple!"

San'er's gaze turned away.

Xu Tonghui's gaze turned away.

And in this Chase shop, several people turned their eyes.

The meaning in everyone's eyes was different, but they didn't speak for a while, as if they were acting in a pantomime.

Then, the big man couldn't help himself, came to Xu Guangling's side, squatted on the side with his legs bent, didn't say a word at first, closed his eyes, and stretched out his hand to draw an identical figure on the ground.

After opening his eyes, he asked in a voice that was trying his best to be calm but still couldn't help but tremble, "Young Master, do you think I can practice?"

"Uncle, how can you practice when you're so old!" San'er shouted angrily on the side, "Only children can practice!"

Then he scowled his neck and said confidently, "That's what the story says!"

"Is it difficult to have a chance to practice?" Xu Guangling asked Xu Tonghui sideways.

"Young master, ordinary people don't have a chance. Xu Tonghui said, "Even the children of the family, not everyone has the opportunity to practice, only the eight-grade family is up, and there are more people who can practice." ”

Xu Guangling nodded slightly.

In the Chase shop, except for a sleeping person, everyone's ears were pricked up.

Even a man who was lying on the bunk and pretending to sleep quietly moved his body.

After answering Xu Guangling's words, Xu Tonghui stretched out his hand and patted the shoulder of the squatting man very good-naturedly, "Man, you are quite good, but what this kid said just now is right, you are already past the age of cultivation, and even if someone teaches you now, it will be too late, much later." ”

The big man's head drooped, and the restless look in his eyes dimmed suddenly.

But he seemed to retain the last bit of hope, and looked at Xu Guangling stubbornly, as if waiting for his answer.

"Go back, go back to your shop!" Xu Tonghui said.

The big man turned his direction, bowed to Xu Tonghui, and then turned to Xu Guangling, bowing and not getting up.

It seems that this young man's words are the final verdict for him.

And the verdict came quickly, "Brother, you are indeed very old. ”

In a word, the gloomy look in Dahan's eyes disappeared completely.

"Brother, what are you doing?" asked Xu Guangling.

Hearing this question, the big man suddenly raised his head again, "Back to the young master, I'm just looking for something to do on the dock over there!"

"Can you afford to live in an inn when you work at the wharf?" Xu Tonghui asked.

He could see that the young master seemed to be a little interested in this big man, and although he didn't know where that interest came from, he still started the interrogation normally.

"If you go back to your lordship, although I also do coolies, I can settle accounts, I am an account-settler!" the big man said, his expression was still lost, but there was a hidden pride in his words.

"Do you know how to read and write?" asked Xu Guangling.

"Young master, I haven't read or read, and I haven't learned to do arithmetic, but I just know!" said the big man, his expression both broken and excited.

Probably because he was illiterate and didn't learn to count.

Zhen is probably in this case, can you still settle accounts?

"Oh, then I'll test you. ”

"A hunter went up to the mountains to hunt, and hunted some pheasants and hares, thirty-five, ninety-four, how many pheasants and how many hares did he hunt?"

This is the problem in the original "Sun Tzu's Sutra", Xu Guangling did not even change the number.

x＋y＝35

4x＋2y＝94

For elementary school students in previous lives, this is a very simple question.

But if you haven't learned arithmetic at all, you can only rely on stupid methods to count hard. - The number is not big, but it can still be counted.

The number arrangement in "Sun Tzu's Calculations" can actually be said to have deep meaning, not too small, not so much that people can know at a glance, and not too big, so that people who can't know it can't be counted at all.

Judging from Dahan's previous memory and recovery ability, this is not difficult for him at all.

After hearing this question, Xu Tonghui and the big man closed their eyes at the same time.

And the third child also closed his eyes, still muttering in his mouth.

Not only these three people, but there seemed to be a silent commotion in the entire Chase shop.

About three breaths later, San'er was still muttering, and Xu Tonghui and the big man also opened their eyes almost at the same time.

"Master, I have calculated that there are twenty-three pheasants and twelve hares. Dahan said.
