Chapter 12: Outliers
My grandmother was not polite to the third master, so she counted out the money and threw it in the palm of my hand and said, "Yun Fei, Yun Hu, you have seen it, the third master has taken out the coffin book for you to go to school, and if the two of us go into the soil in the future, you two will have to carry the coffin."
I nodded in a daze, He Yunhu took the money given by the village chief and asked what to do with the money.
The third master took the money and said angrily: "Lao Tzu is rare in his money? Go back, and I'll raise you later! β
He Yunhu and I grabbed the money and went out of the mountain, and along the way I wondered if my father was in such a mood when he went out of the mountain.
When I became a school, I found that something was wrong, there were hundreds of people in our school, but no one was as blind as He Yunhu.
Not only that, several children gathered around He Yunhu, sticking out their tongues to find trouble, and shouted again and again: "Little blind man, come on, come on, come and beat me......"
He Yunhu couldn't see them clearly, and stretched out his hand at first, but he couldn't hit them, but as soon as they stretched out their hands, they dragged their arms and fell to the ground. Because it was the first day of school, I didn't care about causing trouble, and I said in my heart that He Yunhu was not my own brother anyway, so why should I be nosy?
But there was a female classmate in the class who couldn't stand it anymore, and she trotted, her skirt fluttering with her long, straight legs. She helped He Yunhu up, settled down, and told a few little boys that it was not right to bully people.
I just thought it was funny, and of course, there was another thought - this girl is really good-looking.
Of course, how could a group of children like gangsters listen to this, and not only did they not listen, but they also pulled the little girl and said that they would beat her together.
I couldn't sit still now, so I pushed them away and warned them to stay away from my brother! Actually, I want to say that you all stay away from the girls I like!
But He Yunhu didn't appreciate it, and after we went home once, he said that he wouldn't go out to school at all, but just told me to take care of the girl who was bullied.
But after that death, I didn't even know what the names of the girls were. He Yunhu told me that the girl's name was Xu Qing, and she seemed to be the class flower in the class, but unfortunately he couldn't see it with his eyes, and he didn't know how beautiful this legendary class flower was.
He Yunhu said that he couldn't see with his eyes, and the teacher was in class, and he didn't know what the teacher wrote on the blackboard, so he simply didn't go to class and saved money.
When my grandmother heard this, she glanced at the third master, and He Yunhu said that he didn't want to go to school, and he wanted to learn from the third master.
At that time, I was still blindfolded, I knew that the third master had the ability, but I never had this kind of thought, because in my heart, the third master is like a god, and the ability of God cannot be learned, especially when I am still a child.
The third master touched He Yunhu's head and said, you are still young, when you grow up, I will teach you.
But He Yunhu was not convinced, he squinted his eyes and pointed at me, and said, He Yunhu is also a child, how can you teach him, but not me?
The third master was stunned, frowned, laughed dryly, and explained, silly boy, you two are still so young, you can't learn, of course he can't learn, how can I teach him.
It's the first time I've seen He Yunhu show such an expression, he looked unconvinced, raised his head and said to the third master: "Don't lie to me, I've heard him recite the mantra, you just don't want to teach me!" β
After speaking, without waiting for the third master to speak again, He Yunhu ran into the house and didn't come out.
I still have to go to school, I don't have time to coax him, so I left in a hurry, before leaving, the third master slapped me fiercely, and said, how many times has Lao Tzu told you, don't tell Lao Tzu what you teach!
I don't know what means the third master used, anyway, when I go home again, He Yunhu is no longer angry with the third master, on the contrary, when the third master is teaching me something, he is always very evasive, and from time to time he helps the third master, which looks like a miscellaneous person.
I secretly asked the third master, why don't you hand over the ability to He Yunhu, we are obviously surnamed He.
The third master looked mysterious, and replied, this is all destiny, and whoever the yin and yang eyes are on should take over his mantle.
But I didn't tell the third master, for many nights, I woke up in a daze, and I could see He Yunhu secretly hiding in the corner, with words in his mouth, and he read exactly what the third master taught me.
When I went to school that day, just in time for the school gate, a funeral team passed, seven or eight people carried a colorful papier-mΓ’chΓ© sedan chair, family members were wearing white clothes, gathered around the sedan chair, while walking forward, while crying, the man who walked in front of the head tied a white cloth strip, while wailing loudly, while constantly scattering paper money into the air.
I could only cross the road when the big sedan chair passed, there were not many people on the road, but it was the day of school, and all the children who passed by were scared and cried, and some of them were my classmates.
Xu Qing is one of them, she is carrying a red schoolbag, wearing a skirt, standing at the school gate, when I walked to her, she was still staring at the coffin that had gone away, motionless, but tears were flowing down, like water that didn't want money.
I gave her a nudge before she relented, winked at me, and said, "Did you hear what that guy just shouted?" He said, "You died so unjustly......"
I wiped her tears, and remembered what He Yunhu said, I don't know how good-looking this girl is. This girl has big eyes, long eyelashes, and red lips, which is very good-looking.
I was about to comfort her when I noticed that she was stepping on a piece of paper money under her feet, which the same person had just thrown her.
I didn't dare to tell her, after all, she was a girl, and it wouldn't be good if she was scared to cry again.
I grabbed her and said, it's okay, there is a debtor and a debtor, even if it is unjustly killed, it is none of our business, let's go, it's time to go to school.
At that time, I had long forgotten that the third master had told me that the unjustly killed ghost was even more stingy than the stingy ghost, and if you met the unjustly killed, you had to go around.
On the first day of school, the teacher called the name.
But when it came to Xu Qing, she didn't move at all.
Xu Qing sat in front of me a few rows away, lying on her desk, motionless.
The teachers saw her, walked down from the podium, and called her name over and over again, and I said to myself, didn't this girl sleep well last night, why did she fall asleep just after entering the school.
After shouting four or five times, the teacher also got angry, the teacher took a small wooden stick, poked Xu Qing's back, and said impatiently: "Xu Qing, let me call your name!" β
But Xu Qing still didn't react, her body was crooked, and she fell to the ground.
