After dinner, Li Beixiang and Li Donglai dispersed.

Li Donglai went to his small courtyard and cultivated.

And Li Beixiang took Lao Chai out of the garrison general's mansion and walked around the street.

"Freshly baked cakes, hot. This man, do you want to have a baked cake?"

"Steamed buns, hot steamed buns just out of the cage, one tube is enough, two are full, hurry up." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, today I will perform a monkey show for you......"

......

On the street, the voices of vegetable sellers, steamed buns, monkeys, and all kinds of people who beg for life are mixed together and intertwined into a special "song".

There are all kinds of smells wafting from the streets, including the smell of steamed buns, the smell of inns, and the smell of rouge.

"What a picture of life!"

Li Beixiang held the fan and shook it gently, and a few strands of hair on his head were fluttering by the fan.

"It's a pity that I can't see it, I'll leave tomorrow, and I don't know when I'll be able to come back. Li Beixiang looked at this scene and couldn't help sighing.

"Childe, if you want to come back, come back, I see who dares to block, if anyone dares to block you, Lao Chai I will tear him alive. Lao Chai stood behind Li Beixiang, and when he said this, his expressionless face became hideous.

"What do you know?" Li Beixiang put away the fan, turned around, and knocked on Lao Chai on the head.

"Oh, Childe, you really have a lot of hands. Hey. Lao Chai immediately covered his head and pretended to be in pain.

"You, what a living treasure. Li Beixiang looked at Lao Chai's funny expression, and couldn't help laughing: "You." ”

"Hehe, Childe, are you in a better mood now?" Lao Chai saw Li Beixiang smiling, and immediately put down the hand covering his head, and flattered Li Beixiang with a flattering face.

"Let's go, go around with my son, go shopping. I don't know when I'll be able to come back, buy some things, and keep a thought. Li Beixiang looked at the scene in front of him, hoping to imprint this thing deeply in his mind.

Li Beixiang knew that he was going for nothing else, but as a proton. Can a proton easily return home? Obviously impossible.

A general with a handle and a weakness is a good general, and Li Bei looks at this more clearly than anyone else.

In the eyes of many people, Li Beixiang is a stain on the garrison general Li Duanjiang.

Li Duanjiang's four sons, three of them are young heroes, only this Li Beixiang, many people think that he is a man with a fat brain, mixed eating and waiting to die.

However, are all the things they see real? Are the children who come out of the courtyard of the deep house really waste?

Lao Chai followed behind Li Beixiang and listened to Li Beixiang's self-talk with a blank expression.

Lao Chai didn't understand these words, and he didn't want to understand them, he only knew that what Gongzi said was right, as long as Gongzi said this, then he must have his own reasoning.

"Yes, that's right. Childe was right. Lao Chai thought to himself.

"The words of the sage: a gentleman is harmonious but different............"

Li Beixiang and Lao Chai passed by an alley, and suddenly heard a slightly immature sound of reading aloud from the alley.

Li Beixiang heard the sound of reading and stopped. He stared into the alley for a moment, as if listening to the sound of reading.

Lao Chai originally wanted to reach out and pat Li Beixiang and remind Li Beixiang.

saw that Li Beixiang seemed to be listening to something, so he retracted his outstretched hand.

"Lao Chai, what's the name of this alley? I don't think I've ever been to this alley?" Li Bei turned around and asked suspiciously.

"Childe, this is Shumo Alley. There is a school inside called the School of Calligraphy and Ink. You've probably never been here, because you don't hate reading the most. "Lao Chai seems to know this alley very well.

"Oh, it was called Ink Alley. Li Beixiang chewed these words, and suddenly said: "Shumo School, Shumo School." Why is this name so familiar?"

"Childe, have you forgotten? The old master here once went to the house to teach you and you, but you didn't toss this old master at the beginning. Lao Chai said with a courteous face.

"Smack"

Li Bei patted his head, "No wonder it's so familiar, I said." It turned out to be the old stubborn. ”

"Yes, I've been a lot of trouble with this old stubborn, but who's to blame him for running to my dad to sue me. ”

There is a reason why Li Beixiang called the old master an old stubborn, because when the old master taught Li Beixiang a lesson, he would always say that the sage asked people to do what to do.

And Li Beixiang was young and ignorant at that time. Seeing that the old master was talking about the saint all day long, he said, "The saint is not a god, and what he said can't be right." ”

This sentence angered the old master, and he saw that the old master's face was flushed, and he pointed at Li Beixiang's nose and scolded: "Huangkou Xiaoer, how dare you say such a rebellious thing." How can you do that? You know, a saint is a saint, and a saint is always right. You're only three feet tall, what do you know?"

It's not just this reason, sometimes the old master walks in the mansion, and when he sees the female dependent, he will cover his eyes and murmur in his mouth: "The sage said, don't look at incivility, don't look at incivility." ”

Although Li Beixiang explained that those were just maids, they were not worth mentioning.

But the old master is still like that, and Li Beixiang saw that the old master was like this, so he went with him.

"By the way, Lao Chai, why do you know so well?" Li Beixiang continued to ask.

"Hehe, I used to take the old master to the house. Lao Chai smiled, "But this old master also has a lot of problems, no matter what he does, he is a one-eyed man, just like a wooden man." ”

Although Li Duanjiang is a general, he doesn't want to be like other generals, who can't read a single big character.

Because Li Duanjiang is the eldest disciple of the inner disciple of the Tianyang Sect, his cultural attainments are also very high. After all, if the culture is not high, then how can we understand the martial arts? Therefore, Li Duanjiang has special respect for educated people.

So, every time the old master came to teach, he would let Lao Chai pick him up.

"Hehe, that's why I teased him when I saw him like this. Li Beixiang said with a smile.

"Now that you're here, let's go in and see this old master. Li Beixiang lifted his leg and walked towards the alley.

Lao Chai followed behind Li Bei, and muttered in his mouth, "Childe, what is there to see about this old master, what is your identity, Childe? There is no need to go to see him in person, just to see him, and it should be him who goes to the house to see you, not to see him." ”

Li Beixiang walked in front and hung the folding fan on his waist. With his hands behind his back, he walked towards the Calligraphy and Ink School step by step.

"What do you know? This is called respecting the teacher, my father values this the most, if my father knows that I am going to be stubborn to see me, it will not break my legs. Li Beixiang walked in front and didn't look back.

After walking about fifty steps, Li Beixiang saw a huge courtyard.

This yard covers an area of about two acres, and the wall is not very high, less than a zhang.

"With such a low wall, I am not afraid of being robbed. Lao Chai saw such a low wall, pursed his lips, and said with some disdain.

"What do you know, this is what the old master often said, guard against gentlemen and not against villains. Li Beixiang looked at this courtyard and said with emotion.

Weeping willows are planted around the yard, and the surrounding houses are also a dozen steps away from this independent yard.

Li Beixiang walked to the door, glanced at the plaque with "Calligraphy and Ink School" hanging on the lintel, smiled, and gently pulled the door knocker.

It didn't take long for Li Beixiang to hear footsteps coming from inside the door.

"Crunch"

The door opened, and an old man with gray hair opened it.

"Old stubborn, don't you know me?" Li Beixiang said with a smile on his face.

Li Bei looked at it fixedly, wasn't this the old master who opened the door? I haven't seen him for so many years, and he has become older.

The old master stood in front of the door, and saw that although he was about seventy years old, he was dressed in a washed gray gray robe, but there was not the slightest wrinkle on his body.

The loose bun on the top of his head was wrapped in a patched puddle, his face was covered with furrows, and his eyes were cloudy.

Although this old master looks old, the bookish aura on his body cannot be covered by old age.

The old master rubbed his eyes and looked at Li Beixiang, there was still some doubt in his eyes, so he said, "I don't know who this little Langjun is?"

The old master couldn't recognize Li Beixiang anymore, after all, it had been several years, and Li Beixiang's appearance had changed a lot.

"This is the fourth son of Shuodong County stationed in the General's Mansion, surnamed Li Zhenbei. ”

Lao Chai stood behind Li Beixiang and said angrily.

"Bang. ”

As soon as the old master heard this name, he immediately rushed into the gate at a speed that was not suitable for his age, and closed the gate with a bang.

Obviously, seeing Li Bei is like seeing a jackal.

Li Beixiang touched the ash on his nose, but he was not angry. Still smiling, arching hands.

Through the crack in the door, you can see many bright and large eyes with childlike innocence, looking out curiously.

Li Beixiang put down his hand and waved to them with a smile through the crack in the door.

"This old man is too ignorant of Dali, phew, this is also a scholar. Lao Chai stood behind Li Beixiang with a look of indignation.

"Go back to study, don't learn from the person outside the door. To be an idler, to be a man who eats and waits for death, insults the teachings of the saints. ”

The old master's voice came from inside the door.

"I can't bear this old thing, I have to show him what cruelty is today. Lao Chai couldn't bear this bad breath.

Raise your fist and go slamming the door at night.

"Lao Chai, stop. Li Beixiang looked at the indignant old chai and shouted.

"Childe, this old man is too deceitful. In the entire Shuodong County, who dares not to give your son your face? Today, this old man treats you like this, won't it weaken your face if it spreads. Lao Chai put down his raised hand, but he was still angry.

"Shut up. ”

"Childe, I'm ......"

"What am I, don't shut up yet. Li Beixiang looked at Lao Chai coldly, looking like if you dare to speak, you will roll for Lao Tzu.

"Alas!" Lao Chai looked at Li Beixiang's expression and sighed helplessly.

"Old stubborn, although I used to call you old stubborn, but in my heart you will always be my enlightenment teacher. ”

After saying this, Li Beixiang was silent for a while.

Then he said in a deep voice: "I'll leave tomorrow, this road is long, I don't know when I will be able to return home." I hope the teacher will take care of his health. ”

"Oh, where you're going to deserve someone else. I feel so sorry for the people there. The old master's voice full of vicissitudes came from inside the door.

"Kyoshi. Li Beixiang only said these two words, and then turned to leave.

When leaving, he took off the high-grade mutton fat jade hanging from his waist and put it in front of the door.

The old master stood behind the door, chewing on the words "Jingshi".

The children in the courtyard saw Li Beixiang leaving with Lao Chai through the crack in the door, and they were immediately excited and ran away. Only the old master was left.

The old master was silent, and suddenly his eyes widened, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.

"Could it be?"

He quickly opened the door, and when he saw that it was empty, his heart was inevitably lost.

When he was about to turn back, he found the jade pendant placed outside the door.
