The time has reached noon, and there are gradually more people in the tavern, and after the two masters accept the small pot, they no longer have the intention to eat and drink, and it is estimated that they will never get any useful information from Zhao Laosan, so they beckoned Xiao Er and prepared to check out and leave.

Zhao Laosan is still stepping on the stool with one foot, with a ruffian face, holding a chopstick and picking his teeth, looking full of wine and food.

He smiled and arched his hand to the two masters: "Two masters, thank you, I Zhao Laosan can't do anything else, but find out the news, find someone or something, that's a good show, on this ground, don't say it's Xianyan Town, to say bigger, just in this Luofeng County, Wanzi County within a radius of hundreds of miles, there is nothing I don't know, and there is nothing I can't inquire, if I can find out something new next time, I must tell the two masters first." ”

Master Luo smiled lightly: "You, don't blow the atmosphere indiscriminately, don't you just point to this mouth for your life?" Wandering around every day, cheating on food and drink, not doing business, wasting this good figure. ”

Zhao Laosan was not angry, he smiled and said: "As the saying goes, snakes have snake paths, rats have rat roads, this person, everyone has everyone's way of living, in this life, the key is not to see how hard you work, but to see if you have a life, what is destined is not yours, you can't catch up, you can't catch up, it's yours, you can't run." ”

Zhao Laosan pointed to the small pot with his hand: "Look at this little brother, he may have to beg for a lifetime, but now that he meets you, he has hit great luck, and he will not worry about food and clothing from now on." Therefore, life is what determines a person's future, what about people with good lives, luck is good, some people work hard all their lives, or they can't eat, and some people are lucky and rich all their lives. I, Zhao Laosan, was not a coolie in my life, and I relied on my brain to eat. After saying that, he pointed to his head and shook it proudly.

Master Luo looked at Zhao Laosan and smiled helplessly, turned to Professor Zhang and sighed: "I don't know who did the tragedy in Shannan Village?" We and other scholars are poor, hard to read poetry and books, just to help the world, but now they are helpless against the tragedy around them, at a loss, I want to Mr. Zhuge back then, in Longzhong, but know the things of the world, set a strategy to chase the deer, compared with the ancients, we are really ashamed. ”

After saying that, he was about to leave with Xiuxiu, and Professor Zhang also stood up.

"Two masters, please stay." A sly smile appeared on Zhao Laosan's face: "If you want to talk about Shannan Village, I have another news, today the two masters are generous, invite me Zhao Laosan to eat wine, I will send it to you together, please come over." ”

"Oh?" The two old men were really interested and leaned closer.

"It's been nearly half a month since the Shannan Village incident, and the ten-day limit set by the government has already arrived, guess how my cousin and they survived the Dabi safely." Zhao Laosan said mysteriously.

"Survived? Do they know who the murderer is? The professor asked anxiously.

"Whether they know the murderer, or whether they really verify the murderer, I don't know, anyway, someone in Wanzi County secretly rumored that the slaughter of the village ......" Zhao Laosan paused, looked left and right, and saw that there were no other idlers approaching, so he said mysteriously: "It was done by the Japanese people." ”

"Widows?" Master Luo, Professor Zhang, and Xiao Guozi widened their eyes together, and looked at Zhao Laosan in disbelief.

"Why the Japanese people? Is there new evidence? Master Luo asked.

"Cut, how can there be any evidence, it is circulated in private, and according to many people's research, this word is circulated from the government, according to my Zhao Laosan's many years of experience in the rivers and lakes, I think this must be the government really can't find the real murderer, and the scapegoat is looking for, they put the responsibility on the head of the Japanese people, they can be exempted from the responsibility of public security, and there is room for turning around in the performance evaluation, and at the same time, the trouble will be handed over to the court, anyway, no Japanese people will refute this matter, as long as there are no opponents, the case can be closed."

"It's really unreasonable, it's really a bunch of corpse vegetarian guys." The professor said hatefully.

"Zimo, silence, go back first" Master Luo stopped the professor's complaining and walked out of the tavern door with Xiuxiu.

Xiao Guozi looked at Zhao Laosan, scratched his head, and his eyes were confused for a while before he suddenly chased after Professor Zhang.

****************************************************

The small pot is soaked in the bathtub, the water is warm, all the way to the chest, in this early summer season, soaking in such warm water, the small pot seems to be able to hear the happy moaning sound of every piece of skin.

The little pot pinched his nose and lay down in the water, slowly spitting bubbles through the swaying waves, watching the water shake and flash in front of his eyes, he could see the high roof, the thick columns, and the long pillars of the sun's light shining obliquely through the patio. When I couldn't hold it back, I made a noise and sat up from the water, this is Xiao Guozi's favorite game, when he was at home before, he often took a bath for a long time, played with water everywhere, and was reprimanded by his mother many times, but he never got tired of it and never repented.

It's been a long time since I've been so relaxed, Xiao Guozi feels that all the limbs are singing happily, no longer have to worry about the next meal, no longer have to worry about whether there will be beasts when I sleep at night, and no longer have to worry about the water vapor rushing in the morning, shivering from the cold, Xiao Guozi suddenly felt that it seemed good to live like this.

Coming out of the bathtub, Xiao Guozi picked up a long gown that Professor Zhang gave him, this is an old long gown, I don't know if it is Professor Zhang's, or the professor found it from elsewhere, although it looks old, it is much better than his own tattered body, and the disadvantage is that it is a little big. Xiao Guozi put the gown on his body, the hem of the clothes hung long on the ground, and the sleeves were far out of his hands, Xiao Guozi opened his hands and cocked his feet straight, only to see his feet, and then changed to another leg, each step was a big stride, and he was very high, so he could see his feet, so he dangled there, like a general on the stage, and he couldn't help but laugh.

The clothes were really bigger, so Xiao Guozi found a belt and tied it around his waist, then pulled the robe up so that the hem of the shirt rose below the knee, and then put the excess clothes on the upper body on the belt, and in the same way, he found two more ropes, tied them on the left and right arms, and the sleeve problem was solved. Although it looks a little weird, at least the clothes are not torn or exposed, and the small pot is very satisfied.

Xianyan Academy is the largest academy in Luofeng County, the academy has existed since the Southern Song Dynasty, it has been nearly 400 years, it can be said to have a long history, but this academy has not produced any big figures, so it is not famous, the voice is not obvious, it is not famous in several major academies in China, and its area is not large, the radius is only about thirty or fifty acres. Hundreds of years of history is immersed, but it is full of the smell of books, the academy has a dean, a number of professors, nearly 100 students, some old and some young, the old forty or fifty years old, the young just just enlightened, four or five years old.

At this time, next to the rockery of the academy, a fat little boy is shaking his head and reading, about seven or eight years old, don't look at his fleshy appearance, huge size, but the voice is like a female voice, clear and bright, the book is read in a low tone, the height is different, like the milk warbler out of the valley: "Its shape is also, fluttering like a frightening Hong, graceful like a swimming dragon, Rongyao autumn chrysanthemum, Huamao spring pine." The hair is like the moon covered by light clouds, and the fluttering is like the snow of the flowing wind. Looking at it from afar, it is as bright as the sun rising in the morning glow. Forced to observe it, the scorching waves appeared. The fiber is heartfelt, and the fit is shortened. If the shoulders are sharpened, the waist is as such...... Jossell ......".

As he read and read, he suddenly stopped, his head that was shaking was no longer shaking, his eyes widened, his mouth opened, and the flesh on his chin appeared round by round, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth and a red tongue in his mouth. He was surprised to see a strange man come out of the room, only to see that the monster seemed to be draped in a sack, and the middle of the torso seemed to be the shape of a long robe, but when it reached the waist, it folded irregularly into the clothes, more like a gown with the shape of a coat, and then looked at the two sleeves on the left and right near the upper arm, bulging, like a lantern, fluttering like a fairy, like the Tang Dynasty costumes flying in the mural. But after the elbow, it is extremely short, revealing two thin arms. Looking at the underneath it, it seems to be a woman's skirt, and the whole shape is really nondescript, which makes people unbearable to look at. But the one wearing this dress is still a thin and delicate little boy, I can't tell how weird it is.

The small pot just took a bath, refreshed, breathed the fresh air in the courtyard, stretched a long lazy waist, took a bath is really comfortable, I feel as if I have come out of a rough shell, the skin of the whole body is white, especially in the fingernails, there are no more black dirty things, the fingers and stomachs emit a miserable white color, this is soaked in water for too long, some shriveled, and some peeling.

"At least three catties of dirt have been washed off now?" Xiao Guozi muttered secretly in his heart, after washing just now, he saw that the bath water was dark, and he couldn't see the bottom, and he couldn't help but have a bad sense of happiness in his heart.

The little fat man settled down, stepped forward, and said to the little scourge, "Are you from a foreign country?" Annan? Ryukyu? Korea? Do you speak Chinese? ”

The little pot was stunned, do you look like a foreigner? How can anyone consider themselves a foreigner? Didn't Uncle Big Tooth in the village say that foreigners all have green faces and fangs and look like ghosts? Are you so ugly? He asked a little hesitantly, "You, who are you?" ”

The little fat man handed the book to his right hand, and then hugged his right fist with his left hand: "Little brother Cao Xiwen, you are a student of the academy, who are you?" How can you wear such strange clothes? ”

Xiao Guozi hurriedly learned from the little fat man and hugged his fists: "Little brother Xiao Guozi, he was called by Professor Zhang of the academy to help him do things." ”

The little fat man was stunned for a moment, then laughed, stepped forward and pulled the clothes of the small pot, and circled around the small pot: "Haha, it turns out that you are a little scholar!" ”
