Hiss! It's cold!

What's going on? Is the heating broken?

No, why is it so dark! How did I fall asleep?

Bai Fan slowly opened his eyes, and what caught his eye was not the dazzling bookshelves, but a wall, an adobe wall to be precise!

This? Where is this? Raising his head with difficulty, a triangular roof, a few sparse purlins and a curved beam, the canopy on the purlins is clearly the world's first building material most admired by the poet Du Fu - thatch!

After counting carefully, there are seventeen holes on the roof with an area of less than fifteen square meters, and you can directly see the blue sky outside through the holes!

Thatched huts? A dilapidated thatched house? No, as if remembering something, a spirit got up instantly! But then his eyes turned black, and he immediately fell backwards, and the back of his head hit the wall again, and Bai Fan, who had just been awake for less than five minutes, fainted again!

This time it seemed that there was something more in his mind, some fragments, or fragments of memory, a weak figure, only a teenager, with a hungry complexion, but with a sense of perseverance and unyieldingness!

As if seeing himself, the figure smiled at him, and then slowly turned into fragments in the sky until he disappeared and was out of sight!

Bai Fan wanted to scream, but he couldn't make a sound!

I felt that one debris after another hit my head, and I was like a puppet, completely losing the ability to move independently, and I could only passively accept it!

A figure about thirty years old, with a vicissitudes of life, who is this? Bai Da, an old soldier in the army! It feels like I'm very familiar, so it's the father of that figure!

A traditional hand-copied version of the Analects with torn and yellowed pages, and a sentence from Bai Da: Just be literate and study! Daddy will do the rest!

One by one, memory fragments hit Bai Fan, he seemed to have gone through the life of a teenager, this teenager is also called Bai Fan, fourteen years old!

His father Bai Da is a wounded and retired veteran soldier in the Tang Army, who has participated in the Battle of Luoyang and the Battle of Hebei in his life, and returned to his hometown of Sanyuan Baijiagou with his ten-year-old son Bai Fan!

Bai Da, who has fought all his life, understands in his heart that he has been confused all his life, and he can't let his son follow him, so he gave up all his settling-in expenses (two taels of silver) and exchanged a broken book with a down-and-out scholar, and since then he has gone home and let his son do nothing, just read and study!

His son Bai Fan was also obedient, and after learning literacy from a wandering Taoist for a few days, he could also read this Analects, so that he read this book for three years, and he didn't know how many times he had read it!

There is misfortune in the sky, last year, his old father Bai Da, suddenly fell ill, according to the doctor's words, the old injury recurred, and the time was running out!

spent all the Bai family's savings for his father's treatment, and even the 200 acres of land rewarded by the imperial court were sold by the scholar for 190 acres! However, Bai Da is still gone!

Before leaving, Bai Da looked at his son, it was a look that was so complicated that it was difficult to explain, there was relief, hope, worry, and reluctance......

A powerless scholar buried his father with the help of his neighbors!

There was no surplus food at home, so I had no choice but to go into the mountains to learn to hunt and gather wild fruits for a living!

A scholar who has read the Analects for three years does not know how much depth of knowledge there is, but he has raised a hard bone and would rather die than accept alms from others!

These are what he says to others! Others say that this baby is stupid to read, and the villagers can watch you starve to death?

In fact, the scholar understands in his heart that they are all poor families, everyone is short of food, if they eat other people's, then they may have one less bite of life-saving food for the winter!

The three years of sage books have not been read in vain, and a backbone, or a heroic qi, has appeared around this weak body!

After reading the scholar's life, Bai Fan also felt a lot of emotion in his heart, this person has something to admire, but there is also something to disdain, what about a benevolent gentleman? Is it right to starve yourself to death?

sighed in my heart, and I also understood my situation, I had crossed over, it should be the legendary soul piercing, and it had reached this stubborn scholar Bai Fan with the same name and surname!

He said to himself: Dude! You can go with confidence, and be reincarnated in a rich and noble family to study hard in the next life!

When he woke up again, it was already an hour later, Bai Fan got up with difficulty and looked around.

It was really a house with four walls, nothing, tattered windows, a thatched hut with seventeen holes on the top, and two rotten wooden doors, as if the next time you opened the door, it would fall down.

Underneath his ass was a mud bed built by his father, covered with a thin layer of thatch, and in the innermost part was the "Analects" that was about to be turned over!

Looking at the light outside the window, it should be noon at this time, outside is the thick white snow that just fell yesterday, if it weren't for this cold winter, the scholar Bai Fan would not have starved to death, it was this heavy snow, under the pressure of hunger and cold, a life just quietly left!

At this time, it was the eighth year of the Tang Dynasty's martial arts, and the world was initially decided, and I don't know how many people like scholar Bai Fan in the world were swallowed by this ruthless snow?

I didn't have time to feel the world, and the hungry voice made Bai Fan come back to his senses!

Let's solve the problem of this first meal first, you can't just get to a new place and starve to death again!

Slowly got down from the earthen bed, wrapped himself in thin ragged clothes, put on a pair of shoes full of holes, opened the door, calmed down, and bravely took the first step towards the outside world!

I'm not the nerd Bai Fan, I'm stupid to read, I can't borrow food? Can't you go to the city to eat? Anyway, he is also a literate person!

That's not right! Isn't it a slavery to work for others? That's not going to work!

Thinking about the way of survival one by one in my heart, I kept walking in the snow of the village road with one foot deep and one foot shallow!

There are only twenty villagers in Baijiagou, and they are all surnamed Bai, an ancestor, they are all a big family that has not been blessed with five blessings, but they are all poor and destitute people, and finally came out of Bai Da, who came back as a soldier and became a little richer, and now his son Bai Fan is down again!

Thinking crankily in his heart, he slowly walked towards Sanyuan County, Baijiagou is about fifteen miles away from Sanyuan County, this snowy day, it is estimated that with his thin little body, it will take at least two hours to walk over, and it is called an hour here!

Bai Fan, who had just walked out of the entrance of the village, saw a hurried figure in his eyes, this was a Taoist dressed up, and he hurriedly walked towards this side from the distant avenue, looking at this direction, he should be heading towards Baijiagou.

Bai Fan stood still and began to look at this person from a distance, dressed in a dark blue robe, although it was simple and unpretentious, but the fine workmanship also showed that its value was not low, three long beards, elegant complexion, wearing a wooden crown on his head, holding a floating dust in his left hand, looking at the wrinkles on his face, this person was about fifty years old, and he was already a long life in this era.

Bai Fan thought in his heart, this person looked like a fairy wind bone, hmm! It doesn't matter if you are a true Taoist or a fake Taoist, as long as you are a rich Taoist, hehe! Then you were sent by God to bring me food!
