Guan Xiong pointed at Li Dejin and said, "If you look at it, you will know that it is true." This kind of thing can't be said casually. ”

"It's not nonsense, it's true! Don't believe it, let's bet!" Li Dejin said firmly.

"Hahaha......" Guan Xiong laughed, "you can spare me! I don't believe what you say, and I don't dare bet with you." Can you tell me your name first?"

"My name is Li Dejin. Li Dejin replied, and then asked, "Are you an official?"

"yes, what do you want to do?" asked Guan Xiong.

"I want to go out and fight as a soldier!" replied Li Dejin, "I don't want to be at home all day long listening to Da and my mother nagging." Xiao Dexi ran out because he was afraid that he would hit his mother so much. Please don't tell me where my uncle and aunt are Xiao Dexi, okay?"

"Hahaha......" Guan Xiong patted Li Dejin on the shoulder and said, "It's good to want to be a soldier! However, you must study hard now, and only when you are educated and a soldier can you have strength and success!"

"That's what my lord said. I listen to you!" Li Dejin said with a smile.

"Then I'll test you again, okay?" asked Guan Xiong.

"Okay. Just ask!" Li Dejin said as he looked at Guan Xiong with expectant eyes.

"Well, listen up," said Guan Xiong, "the beauty of the southeast has the bamboo and arrows of Huiji, and the beauty of the southwest has the gold and stone of Huashan." ”

"My lord, is this the word from 'Erya'?" asked Li Dejin.

"Yes!" Guan Xiong was amazed, reached out and touched Li Dejin's head and asked, "Do you know what these two sentences mean?"

It is said that the most beautiful thing in the southeast is the bamboo arrow, and the most beautiful thing in the southwest is the gold and stone, which is a metaphor for excellent talents. This is the origin of the 'South Gold East Arrow'. Really, sir?"

"Exactly!" Guan Xiong exclaimed, "Haixidi has been published since Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West" in the Ming and Qing dynasties. What a talent!"

"Sir," said Li Dejin, "Wu Chengen's hometown, Liuyuan Village, is near here. Seeing Guan Xiong looking at him with wide eyes, he pointed to the southwest direction and said, "Four or five miles to the southwest, you will be there in one trip." ”

"Okay. I'll definitely take a look at it when I find time!" Guan Xiong asked again, "Do you know how to write poetry?"

"If you ask the question, I will be able to make a poem now. Li Dexi raised his head and said proudly.

"Okay!" Guan Xiong said, pointing to the children playing not far away, "They are catching dragonflies, how about you write this?"

"Okay!" Li Dexi responded happily, scratching his head and thinking for a while, and then chanted, "Xiao Hu moved lightly with bated breath and quietly stretched out his hand to the flower branch. A dragonfly flew away, and the playboy stomped his feet and hesitated. ”

"Good poetry!" Guan Xiong praised, and then asked, "Who is Xiao Hu?"

"A mustache is a child. Shen Zhaoyin ran back from the town office and said, "My lord, my name is Shen Zhaoyin, I am the mayor of the town, and he will come to greet you immediately." ”

"Okay. I'm about to go to the town office. Let's go over together!" Guan Xiong said.

Shen Zhaoyin said: "Xiao Dejin's big teacher is a teacher here, so he is good at Chinese. But what Xiao Dejin said and wrote, many classmates didn't understand. When we see ancient poetry, our minds grow and we don't like it at all. ”

"And what do you like?" asked Guan Xiong.

"I like vernacular. Brother Mu is in middle school in Haizhou Mansion, and I like the magazines he brought back! I can recite a lot of articles on them!" Shen Zhaoyin said.

Seeing Shen Zhaoyin's quick talk, Guan Xiong liked it very much, so he asked: "Lao Tzu said, straight but not wanton, bright but not dazzling." Do you know what that means?"

Shen Zhaoyin scratched his ears and thought for a while, but finally shook his head.

"What about you?" asked Guan Xiong, pointing at Li Dejin.

"Straight but not unbridled means straightforward but not excessive, not presumptuous, and light but not dazzling means that there is light but not dazzling and not dazzling. Li Dejin replied very confidently, and when he saw Guan Xiong nodding while listening to him, he smiled proudly, "Hehehe......"

"Good! high!" Guan Xiong gave a thumbs up, but when he saw Li Dejin's arrogant appearance, he was a little unhappy in his heart.

Li Dejin was very happy, but suddenly remembered what Li Dalong said when he taught him the Tao Te Ching - you must not show pride and complacency in front of adults.

So he couldn't hold back a smile and asked respectfully, "My lord, am I right?"

......

In a blink of an eye, he came to the door of the town office, and Guan Xiong became interested in the couplet on the gate - ordinary people live in the world, and Wukong needs to have eight precepts;

"This is written by Muda!" said Li Dejin proudly.

"Then can you tell me the meaning of this couplet?" Guan Xiong asked, touching Li Dejin's head.

"Okay!" Li Dejin said happily, "Wukong is the Monkey King, and it is also a Buddhist term, which refers to the fact that all things are born from the harmony of various conditions, are illusory and unreal, and change and permanent. ”

"What about Bajie?" asked Guan Xiong.

"Bajie is Zhu Bajie! Bajie and Wukong are a pair of brothers in "Journey to the West"!" Shen Zhaoyin exclaimed.

"I know the eight precepts! one precept is to kill, the second is to steal, the third is to fornicate, and the fourth is to ......talk nonsense," Li Dejin shouted, and when he saw Shen Yunshan glaring at him, he lowered his head again.

"Lord Jun is above, and you are polite below!" Shen Yunshan walked over with a smile and bowed his hand. Just now he heard Shen Zhaoyin say that there were officers and a team coming, and he happened to be addicted to smoking, so he hurried to the inner room to take a few puffs.

Guan Xiong said to Shen Yunshan: "As soon as I arrived in your Qinan Town, I met these two talented people, and they looked very similar. I am very enthusiastic about teaching and educating people, and I plan to sponsor an outstanding student to study in the foreign school in Haizhou City. ”

As soon as he heard this, Shen Yunshan's heart swelled with excitement: "My son's good opportunity has arrived! I must win this qualification for him and win glory for our Shen family." In order to take the opportunity to befriend Guan Xiong, he decided to set up a banquet to entertain Guan Xiong and his party.

"No!" Guan Xiong said, "I have to go to Da Li Zhuang today to find someone, and I must rush back to the camp headquarters before dark." If there is no military service at noon the day after tomorrow, I will definitely come!"

"Great! At noon the day after tomorrow, a word is a decision!" Shen Yunshan said excitedly.

Then, Guan Xiong told Shen Yunshan about his search for his relatives, hoping that he could provide clues.

"I understand the battalion leader, and I will definitely be in my heart in the future! I am an old classmate of Mr. Li Dalong, the patriarch of the Li family ancestral hall in Da Li Zhuang, and this is his son Dejin.

You don't have to go to Da Li Zhuang in person. I will call Mr. Li over for a drink with the adults at noon the day after tomorrow. The people of Da Li Zhuang are all in Mr. Li's heart! If you ask him, you will know very well. "Suo Zhaoyin Road.

Guan Xiong would never have imagined that Shen Yunshan standing in front of him was his third brother Li Jiatian, because Shen Yunshan didn't know his life experience.
