Chapter 31: The Academy
Flies fly in the world, and yellow dogs chase on the ground. This is a description of the eastern part of the city, which is full of fodder for the peasants.
Or authentic farmhouse fertilizer. The taste is not much different from Xu Yan's feet.
The flies in the sky have not yet appeared, but Qian Duo has seen many yellow dogs of different sizes on the road.
Seeing Qian Duo, a stranger, he barked twice, and when the people in the house heard it, he opened the door and looked at Qian Duo, and shouted at the dog that was still barking
"Still called, and then called to throw you into the pot at night and stew and eat meat."
kicked the back of the dog's buttocks, and the big yellow dog who was barking just now became dumb in an instant.
Qian Duo was amazed, and led the jujube red horse behind him to continue walking inside. And the further you go to the east of the city, there are fewer people.
There are a few families that also reminded Qian Duo of the sentence "There is no dry place in the bedside house, and the rain feet are like hemp and have not been cut off." "But that's not where Qian Duo is going.
The place where Qian Duo is going is on the far edge of the east of the city.
There are a few thatched huts, a small lake, and if it is bordering the farmer's house, there is probably a fence to stop the farmer's fowl.
This is the general appearance of the academy that Qian Duo can imagine in his head, not to ask for hundreds of disciples, dozens of teachers, and a few tall houses like the east of the city, because Qian Duo is very realistic.
And this reality is the best way to see this academy sign that has been abandoned on a piece of cow dung.
Two pillars that were already old were stuck in the ground, and each of them had a crack, one was diagonally on the pillar, and the curved appearance was like some earthworm in the earth.
The crack on the other pillar was extremely smooth, as if it had been cut through by Qi Qi's smoothness.
And Qian Duo did see the dilapidated sign of the academy here, but after looking for a long time nearby, he still didn't see it, and it can be called a place of the academy.
Or maybe I didn't even find a place near where there was a sound of reading.
Although my father said that there are not many people in the academy, there can't be only one person left.
"What are you doing here, boy?" Qian Duo was still wandering around, and an old man came out of an old house next to him.
Qian Duo felt a little funny at first glance, wearing a white body, white clothes, white shoes, white pants, the same white hair, and white beard.
Although he looks kind, he does not speak politely.
"Why can't you come here? This is your home? "Qian Duo is still very polite, after all, harmony makes money, so I think in my heart.
But the words that came out seemed to be a few days ago when the wild vegetables that were eaten a few days ago were pricked in the mouth, and the words that came out were a little biased.
The old man who was dressed in white was a little blue by Qian Duo's words, if the old man didn't leave, how could it be the turn of these sharp-toothed little guys to bully themselves again and again.
"Although this is not my home, I live here, and I will be buried here after death, why do you want to stay here with me?"
"Yes, I can't tell you, I'm just a brat." Qian Duo obediently admits it, and he can't say that he stays here and accompanies the old man to be buried here.
"That old man, do you know that there is a academy?" Looking at this old man in white, he is always a lot older, although his tone is a little rushed, but he can't say that he doesn't know.
"Yes." The old man in white nodded. Then there was no point in continuing to speak.
Qian Duo also knew that this was dissatisfaction with what he had just meant, and he had no choice but to lower his tone.
"Hehe, old man, look, this is the bun I just bought this morning, it's still hot, do you want to eat it first?"
"You can find the wrong direction if you find a academy, boy, you're quite powerful."
After eating the buns, the old man burped and said slowly to Qian Duo
"I heard that the academy in the west of the city has more than 30 teachers, most of whom are jinshi, and there are 350 students. But it's a pity that you can even find the wrong direction, and it is estimated that you can't enter the academy if you find it. ”
He shook his head as if he really sighed, but unfortunately the smile on the corner of his mouth really betrayed him.
"Old man, I just want to know, where is the academy in the east of the city? It's the plaque in the cow dung. ”
Qian Duo pointed to the plaque that was still in the cow dung, so that the old man could see it more clearly.
"What? Whose kid actually removed the plaque of the academy. ”
The old man's squinted eyes opened suddenly, and he hurriedly ran to the sign and cried bitterly, as if he had really died some important friend.
"Eh, old man, do you know where the academy in the east of the city is?" Qian Duo looked at the old man in white who was about to cry and asked.
"I know, why don't I know, why isn't the academy in the east of the city inserted in this cow dung?" The white clothes on his body were already wet with tears. The whole person looks miserable.
"Old man, is there no one in the academy in the east of the city?"
"What are you looking for in this academy in the east of the city?" Hearing Qian Duo's words, the old man suddenly stood up.
The earth-shattering person who was still crying just now stood up and found that there was not a single tear on his face, and his two eyes were slightly confused, looking at the young man in front of him.
"When I came to the academy, of course, I came to be a scholar." What Qian Duo said is true, as for how true it is, it is much more true than when he told Li'er when he was a child and ran away from home.
"Do you know martial arts? Will there be a fight? "The old man didn't intend to let Qian Duo fool him like this.
"Could it be that the old gentleman is from the academy?" Qian Duo is not stupid, and is even smarter than many people.
And this kind of cleverness lies in the fact that he began to change his name when he felt that the old man might be from the academy.
At first, it was called an old man, but if the people in the academy were not a powerful person, it would not be too much to call him a gentleman.
"Let me ask you, do you know martial arts, can you fight?" The old man waved his hand and did not answer Qian Duo's question, but continued to ask the young man in white in front of him.
Looking at the back like a horse, it should be good at martial arts, and there is a sword pinned to his waist, so it should be good for others to scare and scare others in the future.
"Old sir, I don't know martial arts, and I don't know how to fight." Qian Duo thought to himself that this attitude must be a powerful figure in the academy.
I asked if I knew martial arts because I was afraid that I would be able to bully my classmates or others, whether I would fight, and whether I would fight with other people and then shame the college. It's really thoughtful.
Qian Duo was still sighing, and the old gentleman also sent out a rolling word.
"I can't even do martial arts, I can't fight, if I let you study, what? And then take a champion to go to the middle of the court to guide the country? "Leading a horse, pinning a sword, you can't even do martial arts, it's really a waste of firewood.
Qian Duo was still complacent about his answer, but he didn't expect the old gentleman to be really polite.
"Old man, I just want to come to the academy to study, why do I need to know martial arts, why is it so difficult for me to be a scholar?" It's a little sad to have a lot of money.
"Heh, the six arts pay attention to etiquette, music, royalty, and archery. Books, Count. How many weak scholars are there now, and how many of them can get on the horse to be safe and secure, and how many can be on the horse to govern the country? It's all a bunch of scrap wood. What's the use of reading a book? ”
The old gentleman in white listened to Qian Duo's words, as if he hated iron but not steel. His expression was even more angry.
"What do you think you should do, old man? Will I be allowed to enter this academy? ”
Qian Duo is also helpless, I haven't heard of any academy that accepts people to be able to fight and martial arts, whether he wants to tie a horse step for the old man, or give the old man a performance of Tuna, will he be able to let himself in?
"Well, who made me soft-hearted, come in." Who knew that Qian Duo was still angrily scolding Qian Duo just now for being a weak scholar, and the old gentleman who was powerless actually came in unusually.
"Huh?" Although Qian Duo is smart, he was also confused by the old gentleman in front of him, wasn't he still scolding himself just now? How did he change his face in a blink of an eye.
"Okay, let's go into the house and talk to you about entering the academy slowly." The old man looked very normal, and gently pushed the door open, and entered the house first.
Although Qian Duo was blindfolded, it was good news for him to finally enter the academy. If you can't get in, your trip will be in vain.
The wooden door made a grinding sound, pushed the door in, and Qian Duo saw the things in the house, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, "I may be cheated by everyone." ”
