CHAPTER XXII
Tan Shuxu walked down the mountain slowly, what Ling Feng thought was no longer within the scope of what he should think, after all, the person who should really make the choice was Ling Feng and not himself, in fact, he was not willing to force him to face these things, but since he chose to stay by his side, Tan Shuxu didn't want a guard who didn't put himself in the first place. If another day he wants to regain his past insistence and just leave, then ・・・・・・ Tan Shuxu doesn't like the betrayal of others, since he wants to keep him by his side, then the most important loyalty can't be violated. Tan Shuxu put these trivial matters aside and stopped thinking about it. I went to the old man's house.
The two little medicine boys were drying herbs, probably seeing that the sun was about to go down, they were going to put the herbs away, and when they saw Tan Shuxu's arrival, both of them grinned, "Mr. Tan is here!" Please come in, I'll go tell the master that you're here. A medicine boy lifted the blue cloth and ran inside.
"Master, Mr. Tan is here."
"Got it."
A conversation between the two came from inside.
"Sir, you go sit down first, anyway, every time the master sees you, he likes to quarrel with you, and he can't fight you every time, so he must want to come out slowly, so that you can stand more to solve his past grievances, and you don't want to be polite to him." Zhiji said with a smile.
"Zhiji looks much more complexion today, and it seems that the wind chill the day before yesterday has improved a lot." Tan Shuxu smiled gently. Tan Shuxu really likes this child who looks weak, and the doctor knows the weakness brought out of the mother's womb, and almost left this world at the beginning, but fortunately he met the old doctor, and the old man promised to save him, but he hoped that his parents promised to let him have his surname, and Zhiji's parents originally had guilt for the child, and they could make the child their greatest hope, so what did he have with the old doctor's surname? So just like that, Zhiji was crowned with a doctor's surname. And Zhijie and the old man want to get along well, the two of them are sometimes just a big and a small naughty boy, an old naughty boy, a little naughty boy. For this very clever and sensible child, Tan Shushu likes it very much.
"Hmph, whoever said that the old man could only quarrel with him, who said that I couldn't quarrel with him, I just looked at him as small and too lazy to bother with him." The old doctor retorted with a glare.
Tan Shuxu and Yi Zhiji glanced at each other, and then made a simultaneous action: pulling the corners of their mouths. The little medicine boy behind the old man covered his mouth and didn't dare to laugh.
The old man looked at the synchronized movements of the two people, and his angry beard blew up, "You two stinky boys who are old and disrespectful." ”
"Old man, I've said a few times that if you want us to respect you, you have to put on a look that can make us respect, look at you, Zhiji, a five-year-old child, you still care about him, Tong Yan Wuji, how can you still care about an old man who eats more salt than he eats rice, why are you getting more and more stingy in life, usually take more medicine for diarrhea, and empty your stomach, so that you can support a boat." Tan Shuxu said without being salty.
"That's it, master." The doctor also agreed.
"Hmph." The old doctor looked at the two little ones, and he didn't bother with them, otherwise he would have to start a war of words later. I don't know you as well, old man.
The old doctor saw that Tan Shuxu was still carrying a bamboo basket and a bunch of herbs in it, so he knew that he had gone to the mountain to pick herbs again, and ordered the little medicine boy to bring tea, and asked Zhiyu to collect the dried herbs, and then took Tan Shuxu into the room.
Tan Shuxu took down the bamboo basket on his back and put it aside, and then sat down, just when the medicine boy broke off the tea, Tan Shuxu smiled at him, and after the little scholar went out, the old doctor said, "Why are you going up the mountain again, the mountain is not safe, don't always go to the mountain for a walk." ”
"Hehe, I don't go there often, not to mention that now that Ling Feng is following me, what danger can I have. It's you, it's better to be careful when you go up the mountain, you know that they are still young, and you are not so young, you should pay attention to yourself when you go up the mountain, and bring more self-defense medicine. Tan Shuxu said.
"Hmph, I'm here to dislike me for being old, and I'm too lazy to care about you, you know what to do better than anyone else, I can't stop it if I want to, I said you can't teach well? I can still do this old man, you don't have to be busy, you have to worry about the study of those children, you are busy with this, and I don't know why you like to take things on yourself. The old man said with complaint and pity.
"How dare I, don't wronged me. The learning ability of that group of children has never worried me, so I am really idle, you don't have to worry about me, I am just idle, not to mention that I asked you for help in the first place, in this case, how can I stay out of it? That's all I can help, and I won't do anything else, I'm glad I didn't help you, and you don't want me to be bored in the school. ”
"Are you idle? Hmph, I don't know who has been teaching for two years, and I went to get the second protection area, and I don't know what kind of head you are, those inexplicable mechanisms in it are really unguardable. I sometimes wonder if you are a human being, or if you were sent by God, boy, sometimes I have never heard of the knowledge you teach, let alone your moral theories, and sometimes I don't know whether to say that your knowledge is too broad or that your ideas are too remote. But the old man you said couldn't refute it. "Heal, old man.
"Old man, actually, I don't know if it's right for me to do this, sometimes I wonder if it's right for me to give them something new that contradicts some common sense in this world, should I just give them that knowledge like other gentlemen, or should I let them understand that things in this world are not so simple, but when it comes to some things, I don't want them to have fixed ideas, so what's the difference between them and puppets in the future, But I am worried that they will feel that the benevolent concepts I gave them are actually harming them after experiencing the cruelty of the outside world, I know that some of my ideas are not in line with some things in this world, and I have never thought of changing the fixed thinking of this group of children, people always want to climb up, this is the norm, not to mention that there is never equality in the world, I can only do my best to fight for them a chance to enter the real world, and the future creation can only depend on themselves. Tan Shuxu looked at the tea in his hand, closed his eyes and sniffed deeply, covering up his gaffe and calming his inner struggle.
"Shudzhit, you're right, you at least gave them a chance and some knowledge, only after you have explored it yourself will understand that what you teach them is the real treasure, and they will know your intentions one day." The old doctor said, "Anyway, what are we talking about this world, as if you are not from this world." ”
Tan Shuxu paused for a moment because of this sentence, and then said with a smile: "Yes, this floating world is prosperous, who can really get out of it, maybe I will go out to hang out in the future." In my heart, I blamed myself for being so careless, and it seemed that I was really getting more and more vulnerable.
"Hehe, I thought you wanted to be such a person, sometimes you seem too thin, as if there is nothing to worry about, but fortunately there are those children who make you worry now." The old doctor said with a smile.
"Old man, I'm also a 'child'."
"You? Forget it, I don't see anything like you. The old man doesn't treat you as a child, and I don't think anyone treats you as a child. The old doctor said.
"yes, I'm not a child, I've grown up." Tan Shuxu said proudly.
"So, you should also pay attention, when you grow up, there will always be some changes, you better be prepared, if you want to continue to be a man, you better make some preparations." The old doctor reminded.
Tan Shuxu also knew, so today she still wanted to come to the old man to ask for some methods that would not hurt her capital, she didn't want to miss any problems in the future.
The cyan cloth muffled the sound of shredding, like the chewing of a mouse in the night.
Secrets will be there everywhere, and one day they will no longer be secrets. It's just a matter of how long it's been a secret.
