Chapter 4 Wisdom and Righteousness Shine and Shine
In his previous life, Wang Yongliang practiced calligraphy.
When he was in junior high school, in a final exam, Wang Yongliang won the first place in the whole commune, and the reward given by the school was a copy of "Liu Gongquan's Copybook". He practiced according to the calligraphy for a summer vacation, and after work, he also practiced the "Mysterious Tower" inscription, because he did not insist on practicing, and there was no famous teacher to guide him, so he had to get his shape, but he did not have charm, and he was discouraged and gave up. In this life, he met a famous teacher, and he firmly believed that with the foundation of his previous life, if he practiced diligently, he would definitely achieve something.
As expected, after practicing with Teacher Jiqing for two months, the teacher nodded with satisfaction and said, "I have only been practicing for more than two months, and I have already obtained its shape, which is very remarkable, which shows that you have understanding in this regard." However, the center is weak, some of the strokes are too exaggerated, and the overall layout lacks cohesion. Of course, this is not something that you can realize at your age, you have to get older and have more experience. Now what you have to do is build up your wrist strength. After listening to the teacher's evaluation, Wang Yongliang knew that he had basically reached the level of his previous life, and he was quite complacent.
When he got home, he recalled the teacher's words, and the words "enhance wrist strength" reminded him! Not only should wrist strength be enhanced, but also physical fitness should be enhanced. While I am young now, I should also practice martial arts while studying literature, and staying up well will also help me realize my dreams.
I don't know what kind of kung fu he is practicing, but Wang Yongliang knows that ordinary three or five strong men can't get close to him. With him as a teacher, although I can't be sure how much I have achieved, it shouldn't be a big problem to keep fit.
Pastor Wang lost his wife in middle age, and lost his son in his later years, and he encountered three major misfortunes in his life. Fortunately, in his early years, he went to a private school for a few years, and he was a little cultured, and later he was favored by people who traveled to Fangdao and practiced a good martial arts. Perhaps it is because of the great changes that make this old man have a strange personality, usually silent, lukewarm to people and things, and rarely look at the world with cold eyes. The villagers privately called him "Lao Dao", but they didn't dare to do it in person. The production team asked him to take care of the vegetable garden, firstly, to take care of his grandfather's life, and secondly, to see that he was full of anger and could calm the scene. Such a person, although the two families have a good relationship, and he and the "mosquito" are iron brothers, Wang Yongliang does not dare to guarantee that he will accept him as an apprentice. But things are man-made, and Wang Yongliang will not be easily discouraged.
When Wang Yongliang and Xiangwen found Wang Chuandao in the vegetable garden shack and asked him to apprentice, Wang Chuandao said: "My grandfather and I have been taken care of by your family for many years, and I will naturally not refuse to pass on your martial arts." But if you want to worship me as a teacher, I have to have two conditions, if you want to do it, I will accept you as an apprentice, if you can't do it, I will pass you a few tricks to defend yourself, how about it?"
"Okay, what are your two conditions?"
"First, I'm still hanging auspicious texts. No matter how good your kid is in the future, you have to help bring Xiangwen. This kid is a bit naΓ―ve, and I'm afraid he will suffer in society in the future. I'm fifty years old, how many years can I be with him?"
"Okay, I promise you. Don't dare to say anything else, let him marry a wife, have children, and have no worries about food and clothing. Wang Yongliang knew that because the material and medical conditions at that time were not good, the rural people lived to be 60 years old, and the 50-year-old people would definitely be considered to have entered the ranks of old age, just like the previous life, 50 years old had just entered middle age. At this time, Pastor Wang began to think about the aftermath, which is absolutely normal. So he agreed without hesitation. Not to mention that he and Xiangwen have similar personalities, even if the old man does not "trust the orphan", he will not ignore Xiangwen. Besides, in his plan, the auspicious text is an indispensable pawn.
"Good. Old grandfather (according to generation, Wang Yongliang calls the old grandfather who passes on the word generation) believe in you. Second, it depends on your spirituality. I have a difficult matter here, if you help me solve it, I will immediately take you as an apprentice!"
"What's the matter?"
"It's not a big deal. It's just that in the past few days, I have been throwing eggplants in the vegetable garden, and I have lost a lot of them, and I have to get dozens of catties. I reported it to the captain, and the captain didn't blame me. But if I don't catch this vegetable thief, my face will be gloomy!" "With a body of martial arts, I can't deal with a vegetable thief, which is really depressing."
Hearing this, Wang Yongliang pondered for a while and asked, "How much did you lose?"
"How can there be an accurate number! Anyway, if you are not old or young, you have to get dozens of pounds. β
Wang Yongliang said with a smile: "What a big deal?!Old man, don't worry, I can catch him in three days at most!"
"Really? not blowing?"
"Really, but I have a request, if you catch this thief, you will have to listen to me. β
"Okay, that's it. β
Three days to catch a thief? Not only did the king preach and not believe, but also Xiangwen. He leaned into Yongliang's ear: "Erliang, don't be blind." I beg my grandfather to let him take you as an apprentice. β
Wang Yongliang ignored him, went around the eggplant field by himself, took a small wooden stick and tinkered with it, returned to the shack, and said to Xiangwen: "If my estimate is good, within three days, the eggplant will be lost." If I get it right, you can let me know immediately. β
"Good. Xiangwen and Wang Chuandao both looked suspicious, Wang Yongliang smiled on his chest, turned around and went home.
In a blink of an eye, on the third day, early in the morning, Wang Yongliang was practicing calligraphy in the house, and Xiangwen ran in with a look of admiration: "Erliang, I really let you speak, the eggplant is lost again!"
"That's good. You ask someone else to look at the vegetable garden for the old man all morning. Let's go to the set to catch the thief!"
"Go to the market to catch the thief and sell eggplant in the market?"
"Don't worry about it, I have my own plan!"
Wang Yongliang's words were convincing, and he couldn't help but believe the auspicious text. When I went back and made arrangements, I came with my grandfather and called Yongliang to go to the South Temple to catch the market.
The three of them came to the Nansi Grand Gathering, and Wang Yongliang rummaged through every eggplant stall. Pastor Wang didn't know what he was turning over, so they just followed silently. After coming to a vegetable stall and rummaging for a while, Wang Yongliang stood up, looked at the stall owner in front of him, and saw that he really knew him, it was from the neighboring village Yanzhuang, called Yan Zhenwu. Yan Zhen is about forty years old, and with the vicissitudes of life, he is not a slippery person at first glance. Wang Yongliang knew that he had three sons and three daughters, and his second daughter Yan Caiyun was also a junior high school classmate of Wang Yongliang in his previous life.
At this time, Wang Yongliang didn't think too much, looked at Yan Zhenwu and said, "You stole this eggplant from my family." β
"What nonsense is the little doll talking about? This is what I planted myself, and if I talk nonsense, be careful to beat you! Go and go, play while playing!" Yan Zhenwu obviously flashed a trace of panic in his eyes, and then pushed Yongliang a few times in annoyance.
"Try it!" At this time, Pastor Wang stood up and looked at Yan Zhenwu angrily. Wangzhuang Village and Yanji Village are village to village, and most of the people in the two villages know each other, not to mention the well-known "old way"! Of course, Yan Zhenwu knew that Wang was not easy to provoke, and his momentum suddenly weakened.
"Uncle Dao, this kid is talking nonsense, this is planted in my own garden."
"Don't admit it, okay, let's go to the commune and talk about it. Wang Chuandao saw that Yan Zhenwu's eyes were flustered, and he lacked confidence to speak, so he believed Wang Yongliang in his heart, grabbed Yan Zhenwu's wrist, and pulled him to go to the commune.
"I don't go, that's what I planted. You said it was yours, could it be that the eggplant still had your name written on it?" Yan Zhenwu couldn't live or die, and he couldn't break free from Wang Chuandao's iron tong-like hand, but he just argued inwardly.
"What's going on, what's going on?" there were already a lot of people on the set, and when they saw that there was a fight, a lot of people surrounded them at once.
When I saw it, there were more and more people coming up to see the excitement. Wang Yongliang said to Wang Chuandao: "Old man, the horizontal and vertical eggplant is here, and he can't run, so I'm not afraid of him cheating." I'll talk to him a few words, if he doesn't admit it, let's go to the commune again, okay?"
"Okay, anyway, you can take care of this matter. β
Wang Yongliang picked up an eggplant, walked to Yan Zhenwu's side, and said, "Uncle Zhenwu, if you don't want to make a big fuss, just listen to me and say a few words." As he spoke, he walked to the side where no one was. Yan Zhenwu hesitated, but still followed.
"Fifth Uncle Zhen, you know me. β
"Recognize. Aren't you the second boy of Xiangke?"
"Yes. We are all villagers, I don't want to make a big fuss, if you admit it, send the stolen eggplant back at night, and then make a pot of wine and please invite my grandfather. If you don't admit it, let's go to the commune, you should know what the crime of stealing collective property is, and the sentence is certain. β
"How do you prove that I stole this eggplant?" Yan Zhenwu still didn't give up.
"I'm not afraid to tell you, I have left a mark under each eggplant, I don't believe you can open it and take a look. As he spoke, he handed over the eggplant in his hand. Yan Zhenwu took it and opened it to take a look, and sure enough, there was a word "king" under the pedicle!
At this time, Yan Zhenwu was completely convinced. With a look of shame, he pleaded: "Big nephew, I stole the eggplant." There is no way, there are many children, and they can't eat, so they have to do this bad thing. You can do well, please don't make a big deal out of it for the sake of your neighbors. β
"Fifth Uncle Zhen, I can understand. There are many children and life is hard, but as long as you are diligent, you don't have to worry about having no food. Don't steal it again in the future, because if you get a bad reputation, it will not be good for your children."
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll go to the vegetable garden in the evening and do as you say."
Seeing Yan Zhenwu say this, Wang Yongliang turned around and said to Wang Chuandao: "Grandpa, I made a mistake, let's go." As he spoke, he pulled Xiangwen with an unconvinced face and left. Pastor Wang glanced at Wang Yongliang deeply and followed without saying a word.
On the way, Wang Yongliang talked about the cause and effect, and Wang Evangelism's grandson could sort out the context of the matter. Xiangwen said: "Then how can you let him go? You should send him to the commune." β
"He is also forced by life and has a sympathetic side. It's not worth it to send him to prison for this eggplant. β
"How do you know he's going to sell it at the market?"
"Stealing dozens of catties of eggplants, such a large amount, is definitely not for your own consumption. Since it's not for your own food, it must be for selling for money, and the only way to sell money is to go to the market, what is there to say? . β
Speaking of which, there is something Xiangwen doesn't understand. Wang Chuandao sighed and said: "As soon as you say that you stole your family, I know that you want to let him go." You are smart, this is not the most valuable, the key is to be kind-hearted and leave room for handling things, which is not something that ordinary people can do. Good boy, when you grow up, you must have a chance!"
"Then grandpa, does our agreement still count?"
"Why doesn't it count? With a smart and kind little ghost like you as an apprentice, I'm also content!"
As soon as they heard this, Wang Yongliang and Wang Xiangwen jumped up happily!
