Chapter 44: The Drama of the Six Bos
"Giggle."
"Giggle."
This laughter, as if coughed out of his throat, is more like the sound of an old bellows.
Wang Er trembled all over, where could he still take care of the ghosts behind him, and hurriedly ran down the mountain. He didn't know what he stepped on, and he slipped and fell to the ground, he originally wanted to get up and run quickly, but he saw a flash of silver light under his feet, it was three or five pieces of loose silver and a silver ingot weighing ten taels.
He still had the astringency of the stick noodle porridge he had eaten for dinner in his mouth, and his heart was crossed, so he grabbed the silver and shook off his legs and ran down the mountain.
At this time, a figure suddenly appeared in the forest, hanging in front of him with a white face and a long tongue covered in blood. Wang Er felt that all the hairs on his body were exploding, and he fainted with a strange scream.
At this time, Shen Kang methodically pulled the thin thread in his hand and pulled out the "ghosts" tied with paper, and Shen Chang quickly put away the little people one by one, and finally the two of them received all the paper figures into the forest, found a sheltered clearing, and ignited the waste with a fire.
The two of them watched as the flames burst out, quickly forming flames, and pieces of paper ash flew into the air, and finally, everything was burned.
Shen Kang poured a bucket of water on it, and the spark was finally extinguished, and the two of them pulled the snow on the side and buried everything.
The mountain wind blew the two of them, they looked at each other and smiled, picked up branches to sweep away the footprints, and sprinkled chicken blood on the snow beside Wang Er, leaving a note, and walked leisurely down the mountain.
After being in a coma for a few moments, Wang Er shivered all over his body and finally woke up.
What caught his eye was a pool of blood, and a blood-stained note was pressed by a stone and rested in front of him, where could he Wang Er be literate, but he could also think that he probably offended the ghosts and gods and was warned.
He clutched the silver in his hand, which was enough for him to go to the county to gamble for a few days, he worked hard, how could he put down the silver he got with his real skills?
His face turned gloomy, and he took the silver into his bosom, turned his head, and walked down the mountain.
"Wang Er!" Shen Kang and Shen Chang brothers were going up the mountain along the road.
Wang Er was frightened, and his whole body trembled, and when he saw the two of them clearly, the three of them were already standing face to face.
Shen Chang asked, "Wang Er, you came early, why did you go down the mountain?" ”
Wang Er hugged the silver in his arms tightly, and said with a snort: "It's late today, I have to go home to see my mother, and I have something to say tomorrow!" ”
Shen Kang frowned, and said in a childish voice: "Second brother stop him!" He must have dug up the treasure before us! ”
As soon as Shen Chang heard this, he stretched out his hand to grab Wang Er.
Wang Er pushed Shen Chang hard, and Shen Chang fell to the ground with a "hey".
Shen Kang raised his hand and scolded him: "If you dare to swallow the treasure privately, I will go to the county government to sue you for digging people's graves, and see how the county respects you!" ”
Wang Er's face turned **: "Little rabbit cub hurry up and get out of the way, if you dare to stop me again, I will kill you!" After speaking, he pushed Shen Kang away and walked away.
"Wang Er, you bully me, I'll tell my father!" Shen Kang put his hands to his mouth, letting the voice spread farther, like a child being bullied, but the smile on the corner of his lips became thicker and thicker, with a smile full of eyes.
Wang Er snorted triumphantly, patted the silver on his chest, a cold wind blew, and his crotch was cold, and he remembered the frightening scene just now. Hurriedly shrunk his neck and ran like crazy to the village.
Shen Kang let out a long breath, the cold air exhaled condensed into hoarfrost in the air and gradually drifted away, he patted his ass and stood up, and said, "Go down the mountain." ”
Shen Chang thought that he would scare Wang Er away, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good, so he asked sneeringly: "This, what kind of truth is this?" ”
Shen Kang was serious, smiled calmly, shook his sleeves, pointed his index finger at his temple, and said slowly: "The brain is a good thing." ”
Shen Chang got up with a smile and couldn't help but applaud.
Wang Er walked or ran, how far he went, where he pulled which line, which ghost jumped out, especially the fake ghost that pounced on Wang Er.
His face was full of admiration, patted Shen Kang's shoulder and said, "That ghost fire, you can get it." ”
Shen Kang smiled and said: "It's just dyeing and drying rice paper, and then covering it with candles, a child's trick." ”
"Poof." Shen Chang likes to see Shen Kang the most, I am very powerful, you praise me, I have to push it.
Shen Kang let out a sigh, tilted his head to look at the waning moon, and said with a smile: "Second brother, don't laugh, go home and wash and sleep, if your father and mother find out, we will be miserable." ”
Shen Chang stuck out his tongue: "Go, hurry up." ”
Early the next morning, the two of them carried their cloth bags and rushed to the ink shop as usual, saluted Wang Yun, and waited for Liu Yuan to come.
After a short time, Liu Yuan and his wife walked in the door, and the little guy behind them hugged the qin and the chess, and the chess table was set up in a moment.
Liu Yuan wanted to teach them that the qin and chess were normal, but this chess was not the Go in Shen Kang's impression, but the "Liubo Chess", which can be said to be the predecessor of Xiangqi, and the specific playing method has already been lost in the torrent of history with a long period of time.
Liu Yuan first asked his wife to sit behind the piano case, and then said to the three of them: "I should have suspended school today, since the three of you are here, then sit with me and my wife." ”
In fact, as early as the Tang Dynasty, someone improved Liubo chess to make it more modern chess, and Liu Yuan just wanted them to increase their knowledge.
A person's cultivation and heritage cannot be cultivated by reading the Four Books and the Five Classics. That kind of person, even if he is promoted to the middle of the jinshi, is just a useless nerd.
Since the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the major scholar families have emerged in an endless stream, and the major families at that time all paid attention to cultivating all aspects of elegance and art of their descendants. But since the Sui Dynasty, the imperial examination system has appeared, and the children of ordinary families can also serve as officials in the court.
The family is in decline, and with it, there is also the background that the literati should have.
Everyone in the world thinks that as long as you read the Four Books and the Five Classics well, as long as you gain fame, you will be successful. But Liu Yuan didn't care, and insisted that reading should come from his heart, and he couldn't control how they went forward, but for now, he wanted to cultivate their heritage.
He said slowly, in Nanjing official dialect: "The three of you come forward and watch how the teacher plays." ”
"Yes." The three of them each stood up, gathered around Liu Yuan and knelt down to sit down.
Liu Yuan raised his hand and introduced: "Liubo chess is composed of three parts: chess, game, and game chip. Because each side holds six chess pieces, it is called "Liubo". ”
He picked up a slightly larger rectangular chess piece and said slowly: "Each side has the largest chess piece called Xiaozi, and the other five chess pieces are called scattered chess, so it is often said that six chess pieces are one chess and five scattered." Whoever can move two fish in the center, or one fish, and the killing against the six sons wins. ”
Liu Yuan put the three loose chess pieces on the red dot on the chessboard, and on the other side, Liu Sun's hand stroked the strings, and a quiet and simple tune came slowly.
Liu Yuan raised his hand and threw the chips easily, the front and back of the chips were different, but it was a hexagram corresponding to the Book of Changes, and Liu Yuan entered the game according to the hexagram.
Just standing on the sidelines and watching, Shen Kang also felt very excited, and it was flattery to say something like high mountains to Liu Yuan at the beginning. But after this period of getting along, he really felt this way.
Bo opera, you can underestimate it, no matter how you say it, it's just a chess and card game, that fight the landlord, fried Jinhua is also a chess and card game.
But the rules and the knowledge involved in it are really too profound, how can the words "chess and card games" indicate?
Facts have once again proved that the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.
