Early the next morning, Luo woke up and came to the small pavilion where the master was alone.

Li Boju is still basking in the sun with his hands behind his back.

"Master, you drink tea. ”

"Well, it's not bad right now, it's neither early nor late. Tell me, what have you been watching and what have you seen in the past few days?"

"What I've been watching these days are all old people who have been stereotyped after years of tempering and accumulation. It should look at the time. Look from the back to the front, from the shallow to the deep. ”

"You know the time? yes, the sunset is infinitely better, but it's just near dusk. So what do you see?"

"The student is reckless, just a little bit of his own careful thinking. If there's something that's not thoughtful, you can correct it. These old people, who are nearing the end of their lives, are relatively easy to observe, and in your words, they are already stereotyped. I found a few interesting things, the more people who experienced ups and downs when they were younger, the more relaxed they are when they get older. This is the accumulation of knowledge, and it is not greatly affected by habits and temperament in the later period. It's not that there are no edges and corners, but the more you have seen, the more you know, the indifference.

There is also the fact that time can change a person's appearance and temperament. But it's hard to change a person's habits. And habits are hard to hide, and they are always revealed inadvertently. Emotions drive body language, which in turn reflects the truest emotions. If a person's habitual body language does not match their emotions, then the true intent it expresses is up for debate.

On top of that, I slowly found it difficult to observe these experienced people. Because my own knowledge and experience are not equal to theirs, my accumulation is too little. Trying to analyze under such asymmetrical conditions will lead to unnecessary misunderstandings of what you say. Thus ultimately influencing my judgment. ”

Li Boju slowly turned around and looked Luo up and down. Nodding.

"Yes, there is progress. I don't stick to the small circle that the master has drawn for you. Only by jumping out of the circle can we judge anything objectively and fairly. You've done a great job of that. Then tell me more, which of these old people you have seen in the past few days has the highest personal quality and cultivation?"

"I think it should be Uncle Chong. Although his family was in the middle of the road when he was young, the level of people and things he came into contact with at that time was still relatively high-end, and he was also a little bit involved with the so-called "aristocracy". Therefore, knowledge and cultivation should belong to a higher grade, although his current hobby is a little different, but he is still outstanding in the circle around him. ”

Li Boju shook his head.

"Could it be Uncle Xu, the conductor of the choir?"

"Tell me. Li Boju nodded.

"Didn't you find anything special? Actually, from the very beginning when you set the rules for me to observe, I found that you did not forbid me to talk to the masters. That is, I was not forbidden to inquire about their personal experiences. So I think today's exam should have an answer.

If I judge the answer wrong, it proves that I haven't been careful enough. There are one-sidedness and limitations, which are caused by the gap between knowledge and experience.

I talked to Uncle Xu, who is just a retired teacher at the Conservatory. Although the title is professor, that can only prove that his academic qualifications are relatively high. He has no experience of studying abroad, nor is he a musical family, so he can only say that his cultural literacy is relatively high. I think there are still limitations in terms of knowledge and experience. Therefore, I still think that Uncle Chong's comprehensive quality is higher than that of Uncle Xu. ”

"You're right. Your insight and experience do limit your thinking, but your observation is also not careful enough. You only noticed that Old Man Xu was dressed neatly and meticulously. But you find out no, Old Man Xu gets a haircut and a face trim every three days. People who have such old etiquette and old habits have definitely not a simple family background.

Facial retouching is not facial cleansing, and facial retouching has a very cumbersome set of processes. Hot compresses, skin tightening, eyebrow shaping, and cleaning the five holes are a very luxurious old habits. If you look at his leather shoes, the style is very retro brogue. It doesn't have the signs that you young people like, but it's handmade.

These carved brogue-style leather shoes have a stiff toe and elastic pads at the arch of the foot. You can't walk long distances, and walking long distances can wear down the epidermis and side edges of your toes. But it is suitable for standing for long periods of time without getting tired. In line with his professional habits.

And when he goes back, he will change into leather shoes with soft soles. On such a hot day, I still only wear leather shoes and dark socks, and my trouser legs never show my ankles. At this stage, he can still maintain extravagant habits and rigid rules, do you say that his knowledge, experience, and family background can be inferior? Uncle Chong's quality is definitely not on the same level as him. ”

Luo Xing lowered his head and recalled the details that the master said, thinking silently.

"Since we are talking about knowledge and experience, then you can tell me which of these people has the most knowledge and experience. ”

"Uncle Xu?" replied Luo wakes up with some uncertainty.

Li Boju shook his head.

Law woke up and scratched his head.

"Can't see that? ”

"It seems that it's not just you who are anxious, I'm also anxious. What can you learn in a few days? Li Boju continued to shake his head and sigh.

Looking at the master's appearance, Luo woke up and suddenly a bright light flashed in his mind. People with a lot of experience may have some action habits that ordinary people can't understand, and there is really such a person in the group of uncles that Luo Xing knew.

"Master, then I'll try to analyze it. I think Uncle Su, who plays chess, may be the person with the most experience. I can't say the specifics, it's just a feeling. His movement habits are not quite the same as ordinary people. I can't say exactly what the difference is. Anyway, it feels very awkward and weird. ”

"Oh, tell me, what's the difference?" Li Boju's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

Luo woke up and carefully recalled Uncle Su's speech and demeanor in his mind, not noticing the change in the master's eyes.

"Uncle Su is used to walking, no matter how wide or narrow the road is, whether there are people around. The upper body walks very straight, and there is no inflexibility in the legs and feet. Walking without looking at your feet but being able to go as high as you like, the posture of walking gives people a feeling of being top-heavy.

Uncle Su is also used to groping things. Not only groping, but also unconsciously grasping the fixed objects around him when he is focused. seems to be a very insecure person.,But the personality is very open-minded and easy-going.。 I didn't ask him about his profession, as if he didn't have any occupation either. He doesn't seem to have a high level of education, but he can speak English. I don't know if I can write, but the tone of pronunciation is very standard.

I will also borrow some slang words, and when I am happy or angry, I will always pop up a sentence or two from time to time. Now that I think about it, there are indeed many contradictions. If you don't have a high level of education and are fluent in English, and intentionally or unintentionally conceal your profession, is your previous occupation a traitor?"

"Haha~~" Li Boju smiled happily.

"Traitors still have professions, but you have observed carefully, I will retract what I just said. So when these habits and characteristics are combined, can't you still analyze his occupation? Old man Su is still left-handed, but the joints of his left and right hands are very thick. Although the muscles have become flabby as I get older, they must have been well developed before.

The shoulders are broad, and the face is a little different from that of people who work outdoors all year round, and the color is dull and not shiny. If you think about it again, manual laborers, who are exposed to the wind and the sun, have little education, but know foreign languages. Walking seems top-heavy and loves to explore things... ”

"Uncle Su used to be a seafarer! A seafarer who ran a freighter was still a foreign freighter, so he had a lot of experience. And the time should have been before the liberation, so he is reluctant to mention his profession now. ”

"Yes, there are not many old seafarers left. It's even harder to see in the north, and you can think of it as a bit of insight. ”

"Thanks to the master's praise, do you think today's exam is over?" Luo woke up and began to habitually climb down the pole.

"The exam is over. But the practice of "seeing" continues. The composition of the personnel here is relatively fixed, and they are basically permanent residents from the second ring road, and the occupations they engage in are not complicated. In two days you go to the farmer's market in the Great Bell Temple, where there are people from all over the world. Take the fat man and the crazy guy with you. In the future, I will arrange for you to go to several criminal police teams in the city and follow them on a few missions. It's better to focus on watching and accumulate some experience earlier. ”

"Yes, master. Then I'll go on to see my aunt and uncle. ”

"Walk slowly, don't send. ”
