“…… The moonlight sprinkled love / on the surface of the lake...... You are clear and mysterious / like a Baikal ......"

Master's face froze for a moment, and when he left the river, he said to me, "I didn't know you could sing such songs. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info the rhythm of these songs is quite special, is it a song you composed yourself, the lyrics you wrote? ”

These songs are all modern songs, and Master naturally finds them special. I blushed and replied embarrassedly, "No, these are all things that Ah Zhu heard from somewhere else." He added, "If Master thinks it sounds good, Ah Zhu will often sing it to Master." ”

The master was silent for a moment and said, "That's not necessary. ”

Master and I found a cottage near the river, and the villagers here were friendly and agreed to take us in.

When they heard that we were willing to pay for the night, they were even more friendly and very kind to arrange food for us......

That night, Master and I slept on the floor in the hall.

The villagers got up at dawn, and Master and I got up before dawn, drank some gruel, and set off on donkeys.

At the fork in the road yesterday, I shook a puff fan, which I used from time to time to shade the sun and drive away the buzzing wild bees.

Behind me there was the sound of the horses' hooves getting closer and closer, and in a few moments I saw eight thick legs of the horses coming towards us from under the fan.

A male voice said, "Please stay, you two, there is something to ask you below." The voice was so familiar that I couldn't help but sneak a peek from under the fan.

The man sitting on a horse in front of him was the "Xiao Lang" I had seen in Changle Building a few days ago.

I was startled, and then I covered my face with a fan.

The master, who was walking in front, stopped and said, "Please speak." ”

"May I ask which of these two roads can I take to go to Jinxi Town in front?" He asked.

Master raised his hand and said, "This one." ”

"Thank you." After he finished speaking, he hurried away with the man behind him.

I shook the fan in my hand and wondered, why is he here? Isn't he in Qiantang?

The master said on the side: "The two sons just now, like us, are also going to Jinxi Town. He smiled and said, "If we hadn't chosen the wrong path yesterday, they might have taken the wrong path today." This is also a kind of fate. ”

I stayed for a while, and then suddenly said, "Master, why don't we erect a road monument here?" ”

Master: "......"

There were no farmhouses around, Master and I didn't have tools like axes, hammers, chisels, etc., with us, and there were no ready-made planks to use nearby. I held my cheeks on the spot and thought for a moment, and said, "We can use stones to embed words on the ground, what does Master think?" ”

“…… Good. Master didn't seem to have recovered from his surprise.

Master and I found a lot of small rocks around and piled them up at the intersection with the hem of our clothes. After searching for a long time, almost all the small stones near us were dug up, and a small pile was piled up at the intersection.

Master sat aside to rest, and I was busy putting the word "Jinxi" on the ground with a stone, and after I had done it, I used a larger stone to smash the small stone into the soil, revealing only the gray stone surface. The soil was soft, and it didn't take long for me to finish.

By this time, it was 10 minutes in the middle of the day, and Master and I simply finished lunch at the intersection, and after eating dry food, we went on the road.

We stayed in Jinxi for one night, and then continued to drive for seven or eight days before arriving in Detan Prefecture, which is now Changsha.

There is also a small episode: Master and I were passing through a mountain forest when we were robbed by a good man who came out of the forest.

But it's not thrilling, because when the green forest heroes learned that we were scholars, they let us go. There are still such benefits to being a scholar in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The Master was kind-hearted, gave them some money, and then called on them to join the White Lotus Society, and taught them not to do such evil things again.

Yuelu Academy is at the foot of Yuelu Mountain, and when Master and I rode a donkey to De Academy, there was already a letter waiting for us, a letter from Daddy.

At the request of the master, the master in charge of the academy was divided into two wings, the master lived in a large wing, and I lived in the small one.

Once I settled in, I started writing back to Daddy. According to Daddy's calculations, we should have been able to get to Yuelu Academy three days ago, but unfortunately there was a delay of a few days on the way, so Daddy's letter had been sent three days ago.

In the letter, I told them that I was safe, and gave them a brief description of the itinerary on the road, and did not tell them about my fall into the pool, but only that it was raining, so it was delayed.

After replying to the letter, I left the room, ready to go to Chen Zhangshi to ask how to go to the place where the letter was submitted in Tanzhou. I happened to meet him in the courtyard to settle another visitor.

Come to think of it, there are quite a few people who come to the academy to give lectures this time. But I don't know where Lan Sheng and his teacher live? When I first came, it was not good to rashly inquire about this matter from Chen Zhangshi.

After Master Chen told me how to get to the station, I went to Master's room again and told him about it. But Master said that I would go to see the mountain chief of Yuelu Academy later, and it was best for me not to go out for the time being.

I had no choice but to follow Master to meet the mountain chief of Yuelu Academy. The head of the academy was surnamed Lu, wore a light gray plain veil, had a goat's beard on his chin, and was about fifty years old.

I followed the master and bowed to him, and Lu Shanchang hurriedly helped us up, and invited us to sit down on the rosewood chair and have tea.

Master talked to him for a while, and Lu Shanchang asked me again.

Master introduced: "This is the apprentice of the younger generation......

I hurriedly got up and saluted, and said, "Xiaosheng Zhu Wan has seen the mountain chief. "Since Chief Lu asked about it, it is inevitable that Master will not introduce my name. Master is so upright, he shouldn't be able to make up a lie. In view of Zhu Shuzhen's fame, I'll make up a name first.

The master paused and said, "Apprentice Zhu Wan has long admired the style of study in the academy, and this time the junior was fortunate enough to come to teach, so he brought him with him, hoping not to cause trouble to the mountain chief." ”

"Where, where." Lu Shanchang said with a smile, "Lingtu is dedicated to learning, and our academy is happy to open the door to scholars like Lingtu. Mr. Bai is really polite. ”

I said "thank you" and sat down in my chair.

The two of them talked about learning again. At this moment, there was a voice outside the door, and footsteps came into the hall.

A scholar dressed as a boy entered the hall, saluted, and said, "Mountain Chief, Mr. Ye is here." ”

Lu Shan hurriedly said, "Please come in." Then he said to the master: "The old man invited Mr. Ye to discuss some things earlier, and these things were originally to be discussed by all the distinguished guests, but now I invite him in, and Mr. Bai don't mind." ”

"Where, the mountain chief is polite." Master said. He was puzzled again: "The junior also met a gentleman surnamed Ye on the way, and he is also coming here, could it be him?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a man in a dark brown gauze suit walked into the hall, with thick eyebrows, a square mouth and a wide face, not angry and arrogant.

Master didn't know when he had stood up and said, "Brother Ye." ”
