Chapter 52: The Man Under the Tree

At dawn, when the sky was just revealing a hint of fish belly white, Shi Kang got up under Eminem's urging.

The weather is very cold, the cotton clothes are very new, and they are warm on the body, and they are not afraid of sudden wind and snow.

Pushing open the narrow wooden window, the snowflakes accompanied by the cold wind blew on Shi Kang's face.

The scenery outside the window was plain, the undulating mountains were covered in silver, he stretched out his hand in a daze, caught a snowflake, and after seeing it clearly, he exclaimed in surprise: "It turns out that the snow really has six petals." ”

Seeing a snowfall is not an easy task.

According to the old people in the village, the last time it snowed was decades ago, when the spiritual wind blowing down from the Lingshan Mountain in the distance not only brought snowfall, but also made the whole land prosperous.

That year, the water and grass were fertile, and if the seeds were sprinkled in the ground, they could usher in a rich harvest.

That year, the people at the foot of the mountain celebrated and made a lot of noise throughout the day as if it were a festival, and it was said that babies born on snowy days had a high chance of gaining spiritual talents.

Eminem was urging again, and Shi Dang excitedly agreed and left his warm nest.

There is still an hour before the school starts, and taking advantage of this free time, Shi Dare wants to help Eminem do some housework.

The sheep downstairs were bleating, and Shi Dang walked like a snowstorm with chopped hay.

The first time he touched the thick snow, he was so curious that he creaked, and when he stepped on it, it was like stepping into cotton, leaving a deep footprint, step by step, all the way to the sheepfold.

Eat, eat......

Shi Dang wiped his sweat, sniffed his nose, and smelled the fresh fragrance of the fish soup.

At this time, Daddy also got up and was sitting on the threshold of the second floor, when the people under the mountain lit a dry tobacco.

Su Zi said: The plan of the year lies in the spring, the plan of the day lies in the morning, the plan of the family lies in harmony, and the plan of the whole life lies in diligence.

Therefore, the morning food, which was not paid much attention to, gradually became the beginning of the day and became a very important event.

The best food is when the sun has not yet risen, when the family gathers, finishes the morning prayers, sits around the table, reviews yesterday's mistakes, and discusses today's work.

It's just that those lazy people are going to suffer, and whoever dares to sleep until sunrise now will be laughed at and talked about.

"Stone, it's time to eat!" shouted Eminem.

Shi Kang hurriedly agreed, entered the kitchen, picked up a large pot of snow-white fish soup, and walked up the creaky stairs.

"Abba, the elders say that eating tobacco is a bad habit. ”

"What does the Word say?"

"Not really. ”

Abba rolled his eyes, ignoring Shi Dare.

Shi Kang sighed in his heart, entered the house with the fish soup, Eminem followed behind, put a few dishes on the table, and some gruel and pasta, and finally hesitated, took out a bottle of wine from the wooden cabinet and put it on the table.

If you want to say that everything under the mountain is good, there are some "bad habits" that Shi Kang is very unaccustomed to.

For example, unless there are special circumstances, women cannot serve the table, but can only eat on the stove.

For example, when the male owner comes home, he easily does not dare to work, and all the work in the house is women's, and if you want to help, you will be laughed at and looked down upon.

The so-called male protagonist outside, female protagonist inside, clear distinction, whether it is everyone or a small family, must abide by the rules.

For a table of food, the male elders don't move the chopsticks, and you can't move even if you starve to death, otherwise you will ......

"What are you doing in a daze?

"Oh, oh......"

Shi Kang was about to sit down with Abba, but Eminem hurriedly said on the side: "Master, I haven't made incense yet." ”

“…… There are so many stinky rules!" Abba impatiently dropped his chopsticks and stood up.

Shi Dare secretly slandered himself, the rules hinder you, it is stinky, and the rules make you comfortable, it is Tianxiang.

It is no wonder that the elders say that the human heart is not ancient, and it must be strictly controlled and supervised by the holy word.

A family of three lit three incense sticks, knelt on three futons, and kowtowed three times to the Suzi tablet in the shrine.

Then one person divided a pillar of incense, put it on his forehead, and began to chant silently.

"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Thy kingdom come, and thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us ............ this day for our daily bread"

Earthlings will feel extremely disobedient when they see it, and it is staged in such a grand manner.

The essence of the doctrine can be regarded as learned by Su Cheng, but the key is that no one here can see through it.

Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, as long as the monks do not have, as long as this world does not exist, they have all been taken.

How many famous aphorisms, how many fables, and how many philosophical sparks of thought have been pinched off and written into a "Holy Word" in a different way.

The third part has already begun to be written.

After finishing the meal, Shi Dang picked up his schoolbag, greeted Eminem in the stove, and went out of the house.

Walking on the snow-covered gravel road, Shi Dang saw that every household was busy.

The neighing of livestock, the laughter of schoolchildren, the set of cars, the going out, the whole cottage came alive when the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth.

Except for the wind and snow, this morning, like countless accustomed mornings, Shi Dang dodged the snowballs thrown by the urchins, and waved his fist at these crazy guys in a demonstrative manner, and when he turned his head, he saw a very strange person.

The man stood under an old locust tree, as if he were very strange, caressing the cracked textures on the trunk, and the people who came and went, whether adults or children, birds or animals, ignored him.

Shi Dang was a little curious, so he walked up to him and said, "Are you a newcomer?"

Hearing this, the man turned around, looked at Shi Kang with novelty, and smiled: "You...... Talking to me?"

"Of course, you're alone. Shi dared to answer.

He felt that this person was a little strange, obviously standing in front of him, but it was like, as if it was ...... Like clouds in the sky, moon in the water, stars in the night sky.

In the dark, there is a very strange feeling, like facing a very close person......

"Oh, I'm not a leader, I'm a villager. The man said.

"Villagers?" Shi Dang thought for a while, and after a while, he suddenly said, "It turns out that you are a clansman from afar and have come to learn scriptures?"

Learn?

The man's face was strange for a while, and he nodded, "Yes, take the scriptures, it is the "Holy Word". ”

"But why haven't I seen you?" Shi Dang tilted his head and recalled vigorously, "What's your name?"

The man smiled and reached out to catch a snowflake......

Shi Kang is even more strange, two months ago, a branch of the Su Shining Spirit Department was split into a distant Dong master, with more than a hundred clansmen to the cottage, Wugu greeted them with a grand ceremony, at that time Shi Kang was also as a representative of the school, explaining the holy words to the distant clansmen.

I remember that there was no such person at the time......

"Stone, stone, what are you doing alone under the tree? Quick, there is a class exam today. ”

"Oh, here it is!" Shi Dang agreed, ready to say goodbye to the man, but who knew that with a twist of his head, the man would be gone.

Shi Dang rubbed his eyes, puzzled and searched left and right.

"What about people?" he muttered softly.
