The boat is on the turbid waves, and the air on both sides of the strait is leisurely.

Jia Yin sat on the deck, feeling the cold of the river breeze, feeling relaxed, with an indescribable joy in his heart, feeling that such freedom was the life he wanted.

As soon as Ifuzi got on the ship, he spread out his pen and ink in the cabin, held on to the slender pen tube, and wrote a small block of fly's head on the pale yellow yuan book paper, which made Jiayin admire.

Cheng Shen served tea, ink, and soup for his master, and after everything was done, he held a book by himself and read it in a subdued manner, and the elegant appearance of shaking his head also made Jia Yin envious.

I felt that my behavior was too rude, and I was in the way on the side, so I lightly withdrew from the cabin, stood on the pile, walked lightly and moved my muscles, and sat on the deck when I was bored.

He was afraid of worrying about the tranquility of Yifuzi's master and apprentice, so he didn't return to the cabin even a step.

At noon, the boat lady served the meal, Jia Yin followed into the cabin, Yifuzi paid attention to food and was silent, Jia Yin didn't talk much, and the three of them ate silently.

After the meal, Yifuzi first used tea, purified his mouth, and then spoke: "Jiayin Xiaolangjun, don't be restrained, my master and apprentice are used to it, but you don't have to, just do what you want, the old man is quiet, and he can read and write articles in the downtown area." ”

"It's okay, just call me Huzi, I think you write and read, very elegant, Cheng Langjun's reading voice is better than singing."

Cheng Shen smiled and cleaned up the table slowly.

Jia Yin watched him fold the bowl and put the chopsticks leisurely, all with a peaceful rhyme.

Ifuzi wanted to walk around after the meal to eat, so he went to the deck to walk around for a while, and Jiayin was afraid that he would make a mistake when he was old, so he followed.

Yifuzi also chatted with him, most of them were asked by the master, and Jiayin answered.

The person in front of him looked kind, Jia Yin was unguarded, he said whatever he wanted, and unconsciously hollowed out his bottom.

"You are worried that your friends are hungry for profit by exterminating bandits, you are sad about the panic and desolation of the bandits' wives and children, and you are entangled in the confusion of your marriage...... Good, good, good, you have these thoughts, good! ”

Jia Yin was surprised and delighted, and was surprised that these scattered things with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west had been blocked in his heart, which was very uncomfortable, and he was clearly sorted out by the old man in front of him, and he was happy to be praised by him, but what kind of good method is it?

Yifuzi didn't give him an answer immediately, but asked, "Huzi, are you literate?" ”

Jia Yin was ashamed, blushing and shaking his head.

"If a man does not learn, he does not know righteousness. The journey is long, let Shixing teach you a few words, and you can read when you have time. Ifuko returned to the cabin, pulled out a book from the rattan box, and handed it to Koin.

Jia Yin took it respectfully with both hands, and saw that there were only two upright characters written on the cover, but he didn't know it, so he asked with a red face: "I heard that reading should start from a young age, I am reading now, can I learn it?" ”

Yifuzi said: "It's not morning or late to learn, it's important to have a heart."

Zi said, 'When a disciple enters, he is filial, and when he goes out, he is a brother, he is cautious and faithful, he loves the public, and he is kind and benevolent, and he has more than enough strength to learn literature. ’

You are learning right now, there are answers to the books you are confused about, read them first, and if you don't understand, ask the priest, and he will teach you. ”

Cheng Shen looked at it with a smile on the side, his eyes full of encouragement.

Jia Yin only felt that the thin booklet in his hand was much heavier than the master's hammer, and it was not good to distract the master's mind, so he went down to the deck and opened the book, which was a manuscript copied by Yifuzi, densely packed, and suddenly his mind began to dizzy, only to feel that the ink began to run around like tadpoles.

"Senior brother, let me teach you how?" Cheng Shen didn't know when he stood behind him.

Jia Yin was startled, and almost threw away the book in his hand, "Ah...... You, what are you calling me? ”

"Senior brother." Cheng Shen smiled gently.

Jia Yin was ashamed, blushing and said, "I can't understand a word." ”

"It's okay, I'll teach you."

Cheng Shen squatted down, took the book, and started from learning, teaching him to read word by word, word by word, with a solemn and serious expression, which was very different from the shaking head in the morning.

Jia Yin was infected by him, and the shyness in his heart disappeared unconsciously, and he also read it out in a whisper. In less than half an hour, I was shocked by the erudition of this cheap senior brother, and the sentence "learn and learn from time to time", starting from what to learn, how to learn, and how to learn.

The afternoon passed quickly, but he didn't finish a page, but Jia Yin felt that he had learned more than he had learned in more than ten years before.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Cheng Shen closed the book and said to Jiayin: "Don't underestimate this thin book, this is the door to the Tao and the foundation of virtue." Teachers have taught countless students, and very few of them have started learning from the Analects at the beginning, so they must study carefully and live up to their teachers' expectations. ”

Jia Yin saved at this time, and hurriedly got up and said that he wanted to kowtow to the master first, and Cheng Shen smiled and said that he should be called a teacher.

Since then, the boat travels all the way, Jiayin learns all the way, taught by Cheng Shen during the day, and at night, Yifuzi stopped writing, and the three of them talked at night, and the master taught some knowledge, talked about some travel experiences, or allusions to the previous dynasty.

While Jia Yin increased his knowledge, he also gained a more comprehensive understanding of the teacher.

It turned out that Yifuzi's ancestral home was Luoyang, and his ancestors moved to Fujian in order to avoid disasters during the former Tang Zhaozong.

The master set out from Fujian five years ago, all the way north, one to find his roots and ask his ancestors, and the other to study and experience, and even went west out of Yangguan, and fought back and forth in the Western Regions, and it was a miracle that he was safe and sound in this troubled world.

"I have been robbed no less than ten times, and several times I have been robbed penniless. Fortunately, the teacher is erudite and elegant, the thief does not harm, and the books are not lost. ”

"Then how do you eat or something?"

Cheng Shen said calmly: "There are always well-wishers, there are also many wealthy families in the Western Regions, they know Chinese, know etiquette, respect the Tang Dynasty Khan, and miss the prosperity of the past, so they are very respectful after seeing the teacher, and several city lords have listened to the teacher's lectures and rewarded a lot of gold and silver." ”

"How do you ...... that?"

Cheng Shen knew what he was going to ask, and said with a smile: "I came back after three years, but I didn't expect it to be so chaotic here, I was robbed when I left Shaanxi Mansion a few days ago, but fortunately, a gunman passed by and saved us." ”

"After listening to the gunman's advice, we just thought of hiring a guard, the money is nothing, the teacher has memorized the past few years, and the learning experience cannot be lost."

Jia Yin asked who the gunman was, and Cheng Shen said, "It's called a flower gun." A few years younger than me, he made a big gun, kung fu is very good, and he is also very chivalrous, it was he who escorted us all the way to Bianliang, but unfortunately he had something important to do, and left without entering the city, otherwise you two will definitely talk about it when you meet. ”

Jia Yin kept this man's name in his heart.
