By asking the river tide and the sea water, how is it like the love of a gentleman and the heart of a concubine?

Shanhai Academy.

Ah Bu stood a little cramped in a hall. A steward led him in, said a word, waited, and left.

Ah didn't know who he was waiting for, but he had explained it before leaving.

He had seen this old man appear countless times when he listened to the braggings of the men on the dock, and it should be said that no one in Zhaoguo did not know him.

Every Zhaoguo person is full of spirit when they talk about this person, the previous generation, the previous generation, the old man is a legendary figure in every era.

It's hard to describe how powerful the old man really is, let's put it this way, in the last dynasty, the old man was an old man, and at that time he was already the dean of Shanhai Academy.

Most people in the world call him the dean.

Shanhai Academy has existed for a long time, and it existed before the state of Zhaoguo.

"Have you been standing for a long time?" the old man came out of the room, "I'm old, and it's easy to forget. ”

Ah Bu hurriedly shook his head: "I didn't stand for long." He didn't dare to look at the old man and lowered his head.

The old man smiled on his face: "Are you wondering why I don't have three heads and six arms?"

"Didn't think about it. Ah Bu's face turned red, and he quickly shook his head.

"You kids are so easy to guess, you have to learn to hide it. The old man paced to Ah Bu with his hands behind his back.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Since you have entered the door of my mountains and seas, you naturally have an old man like me to cover it, you don't have to worry about what will happen in three years, the emperor is scaring people, you just need to stay here with peace of mind, and I will solve other things. ”

Ah Bu said gratefully: "Why are you so kind to me?"

The old man looked at Ah Bu complicatedly: "You have suffered since you were a child, so being careful is your greatest ability to survive, but at the same time, it is also your biggest problem." In this world, there is not only unprovoked malice, but also unprovoked kindness, and the most important thing you need to learn is to accept them and keep them in your heart, and it is enough. ”

I don't understand it. Nodding, then shaking his head again: "I can't." ”

The old man wondered, "Why not?"

"Before I came, someone taught me to be responsible for what I did. I killed people, and I naturally have to bear the sin, this is his reason for being a man, and now it is also my reason. Ah Bu lowered his head and whispered, but he could also hear a hint of firmness.

The old man turned around and turned around to signal Ah Bu to follow.

The two walked to the mountain behind the academy. There is a small courtyard with a pile of wood.

"Since you are responsible, you will be punished. I don't have any heavy work in this academy, but I have more firewood to burn every day, so you can stay here and chop firewood. You can also go to the front to listen to the lecture when you are free, the books here are read casually, and there are no other rules. The old man stroked his beard.

Ah Bu nodded in agreement.

The old man smiled and patted Ah Bu's head, and said, "I will ask everyone who enters my door a question, and I want to have an answer before he leaves, do you want to try to answer it?"

Ah didn't understand, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The disciple is willing!"

The old man seemed even happier, the old man had lived countless years, and now what he wanted to do most was to teach others what he knew.

"Now there are two tigers going to eat people, and there is a child on your left. This child is very naughty, he doesn't like to read, and he is very annoying on weekdays. And to your right there are five children, each of these five children is very obedient, and each of them is very cute. You can only kill one tiger, and you only have time to save one side, and if you hesitate, both sides will die, so how do you do it?"

After the old man finished speaking, he left: "Think about it carefully, think clearly and then answer me." ”

Ah Bu knelt down for a while and had an answer, but when he looked up, he didn't see the old man, and after thinking about it, he decided to wait and answer him, there are still three years to stay here, so there is no need to rush.

Ah Bu walked into the small courtyard, it was empty, the previous owner had probably left, but everything was complete.

After a little tidying up, I walked out of the house.

Picked up a firewood knife next to the wood, there were several notches on the edge of the knife, and it was not easy to swing a few times.

The old man didn't say how much wood he was going to chop, but it was always right to chop more.

Ah Bu decided to find someone to change his knife in a few days. But think that you are here to be punished, you can't pick and choose, it's better to wait until it's broken.

Thinking so, he picked up a piece of wood, raised his knife high, and swung it down.
