CHAPTER XVIII
Xu Ji drank two sips of wine fiercely, and then threw the wine bag to Chen Dao, signaling him to drink some too. Chen Zhi was not polite, he picked up the wine bag and drank all the wine, then threw away the wine bag, wiped the overflowing wine, and let out an arbitrary laugh: "Young master, it may be a good choice to indulge in the rivers and lakes, let me do it, and drink the big bowl of wine with me, ha ”
Xu Ji stood up, wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, and said to Xun Kuang: "Uncle Xun, you have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, I don't know what the ranger has fun doing?" Teach us too. ”
A group of companions and servants also coaxed together, and the uncle-like man smiled heartily: "Throwing a pot or something is too petty, come, take the sword, wouldn't it be happy for us to play the sword and sing?" This sudden Wen Crepe Crepe words completely betrayed Xun Kuang's cultural foundation, and his subordinates also quickly took his sword, he "resonated" to draw out the sword, reflecting the firelight of the snow-white blade with a faint red, obviously a sword full of blood, Xun Kuang held the sword in one hand, bent his fingers in the other hand to play the sword, and sang: "
How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son.
How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the child.
How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son. ”
After the song, Xu Ji smiled angrily: "Uncle Xun is arrogant and admirable, hey, how can he say that he has no clothes, and he is in the same robe with his son." This robe is enviable. Although Xu Ji was young, he also wanted to talk about madness, and Uncle Xun smiled. ”
He didn't wait for others to say more, and sang loudly in his still childish voice: "Duckweed sends clear water." Flows from east to west with the wind. The knot is strict. Come and avenge the gentleman. Diligence is in the morning and evening. Unprovoked crimes. In the past by grace. Harmony is like a piano. What does it mean to be devastated today. Broad business and ginseng. Dogwood has its own fragrance. Not as good as Gui and Lan. The newcomer is cute. It's not as good as it gets. Xingyun has a return date. Jun Grace Fu returned. Sigh wistfully. What will be the sorrow. The sun and the moon are not constant. Life is like a sudden. The sad wind comes into the arms. Tears fell like dew. Hairbands make clothes. Tailor and vegetarian. ”
Although he is still young, and there are also women's things to compare, there is no doubt that Xu Ji said very clearly his resentment and helplessness of being excluded and even almost forced to leave his hometown, and Xun Kuang on the side also glanced at Xu Ji with deep meaning, and then applauded loudly. As a six-year-old child, being able to have such a literary talent is indeed considered to be a knowledgeable person.
Xun Kuang smiled and waved his hand, and asked, "What about you, uncle?" Why don't you come along? Chen Zhi, who was sitting on the side, also stood up unceremoniously and replied with a smile: "It's a martial artist, and I'm not good at dancing and writing, so it's too embarrassing for my little brother." Since it is for fun, it is better to take the sword dance as a substitute, please watch the young master and Uncle Xun, "Let's draw the sword and dance, the sword is pressing, and there is a faint sound of tigers and leopards between the sword qi whistling back and forth." Xun Kuang clapped his hands and applauded, and turned back to Xu Ji and said, "Childe, this guard is really a hero and a young man, and the kung fu under his hands is probably not weaker than me." Xu Ji hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Uncle Xun is really wrong, Uncle Zhi is still young, Uncle Xun is at the age of his age, how is he Uncle Xun's opponent?" Xun Kuang Ha smiled and turned his head back to stop talking, just clapped his hands all the time, with a faint look of approval in his eyes, obviously very optimistic about Chen Dao.
After the sword dance stopped, Chen Zhi collected the sword and returned to Xu Ji to stand still, Xun Kuang said to Chen Zhi with a smile on his face: "Uncle Zhi is very skilled, I don't know who to learn from?" Chen Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his eyes to look at Xun Kuang's face with a little unhappiness. According to the Jianghu, this kind of thing should not be asked, but fortunately, Xun Kuang also immediately explained: "Uncle Zhi, don't get me wrong, I also look familiar, it seems to be the old man's moves." Uncle Zhi is from Nanyang, right? Then the teacher must be a good man with the surname Wen, right? ”
Chen Zhi's face softened slightly, and he nodded to indicate that there was no mistake. Xun Kuang saw that there was no mistake, so he asked again: "I don't know which one?" ”
Chen Zhizheng replied: "The name of the family teacher is inconvenient to say, but his old man has an explanation, and I am not allowed to show it wantonly." ”
Xun Kuang Ha smiled: "Then I know, this old guy likes to play tricks, presumably your teacher must be Wen Xiu, right?" The tone, though questionable, does have a positive meaning.
Chen Zhi nodded and said yes.
Then Xun Kuang asked again: "According to your grade, his precious son is about your age, right?" ”
Chen Zhi lowered his head and thought about it: "Yes, it is two years younger than Zhi." ”
"What is it called, Wenpin, yes or no?" Xun Kuang touched his head with his hand and asked uncertainly.
Clerkship? Wen Zhongye? The father of this guy with a mysterious background in history is Chen Zhi's master? But it's also in the same vein, and the records left by these three guys are not too much, this is the low-key of inheritance, right? Xu Ji laughed at himself so irresponsibly, and then asked, "Uncle Xun, what is so special about this Wen Gongzi that Uncle Xun is so obsessed with?" ”
Xun Kuang smiled embarrassedly: "This kid peed Lao Tzu's hand back then, I always have to find the field back in this matter, Old Man Wen and I also have the grace of teaching, although there is no name of master and apprentice, but there is the truth of master and apprentice, Lao Tzu can't ask him for this account, but this kid makes Lao Tzu so faceless, and when this kid is a little older, Lao Tzu must get the field back." ”
Xu Jiha smiled: "I didn't expect Uncle Xun to be embarrassed." ”
Xun Kuang said loudly: "How can this be called embarrassment? It's just that Lao Tzu didn't pay attention to it for a while. Don't talk about this, Uncle Zhi, didn't Old Man Wen explain anything to you? ”
Chen seemed to bow his hand suddenly at this time: "Uncle Shi, my nephew is disrespectful, so I remembered my master's explanation." ”
Xun Kuang showed a satisfied look on his face: "I'll just say, although I don't have the status of master and apprentice with the old man, he still treats me as an apprentice, by the way, do you have that?" ”
After hearing this, Chen Zhi took out a piece of jade from his arms, which was engraved with the word "Xun" in a seal body, and Xun Kuang sighed after the result: "I didn't expect the old man to value you here, I thought he would give him that little son, but I didn't expect it to be given to you." ”
Xu Ji asked blankly, "What is the truth of this?" Is there anything special about this jade que? ”
Xun Kuang's face showed a look of remembrance, gently stroked Yuque and replied: "This thing is my original belongings, and then I thanked the old man for his kindness to me, and I handed it over to him, I have the heart to repay the kindness, but the old man Wen does not lack anything, I said, in the future, it will be handed over to future generations, and I will never shirk what I can take care of. ”
Chen Zhi is also gloomy: "To the limited talent, the master is very worried, and it is a thousand instructions before leaving, and the master's kindness to the uncle is afraid that it will be difficult to repay it in this life." ”
Xun Kuang slapped Chen Zhi on the shoulder: "Don't worry, the old man Wen is tough, you have a chance to repay him the best, Gongzi is a friend of my second son, presumably he is also ambitious, you will be able to show your ambitions with him, why are you so gloomy?" ”
Chen Zhi also reinvigorated his mood, and the brilliance in his eyes lit up again: "Uncle Zhi's business, Gongzi is a disciple of the life-saving benefactor back then, and Chen Zhi naturally follows Gongzi in advance and retreat." Uncle Shi doesn't have to worry about it, Uncle will live up to the master's weight! ”
Xun Kuang patted Chen Zhi's shoulder with a look of relief, and reached out to take a wine bag: "Come, our uncle and nephew will also come and go." After that, he happily pulled the cork and drank half a bag of wine, and Chen Zhi took it and drank the rest of the wine happily.
Xu Ji looked at the red light on his uncle and nephew's face and couldn't help but smile: "Uncle and nephew, Uncle Xun, it's a coincidence that you guys, this can also be a relationship, it's okay, since you are the uncle of your uncle and nephew, and Wen Ruo's uncle, naturally she is also Wen Lie's elder, I respect you, Uncle Xun." After that, he also grabbed a full wine bag with a hearty hand, drank a few sips happily, and then was choked, Xun Kuang Ha Lu Ha Da Lu took it with a smile, and said with satisfaction: "Xu Gongzi is bold, but he is a little less bookish than Wen Ruo, and his future achievements will be higher than Wen Ruo, and it is good, since they are all a family, they all come to have a good drink." Then he beckoned his subordinates to take wine, and several people also looked at each other and smiled.
On the second day, Xu Ji woke up touching his still slightly aching head, it seemed that this was not the cabin where he lived, Xu Ji rubbed his slightly dry eyes, and a deep voice came from his ears: "Wen Lie woke up?" What do you think? The wine I prepared is not a thing that fools you with water! ”
Xu Ji smiled bitterly: "It's Wenlie Meng Lang, I didn't expect this wine to be so strong, it's really unexpected." By the way, what about Uncle Zhi? ”
The uncle with a joking face in front of him didn't speak, but just skimmed the door with his eyes, Chen Zhi stood there straight, Xu Ji shook his head again and sighed: "Uncle Zhi, this guy drinks better than me?" Xun Kuang walked over happily and patted Xu Ji's head: "It's a good thing that Wen Lie can drink, I'm at your age, I'm going to fall as soon as I touch it, ah, hahaha After that, he turned around and said to Chen Zhi as if asking.
Xu Ji turned his head and glared at Chen Zhi, Chen Zhi was just full of helplessness, obviously this was purely Xun Kuang's teasing, Xu Ji turned his head and said to Xun Kuang with a wry smile: "Uncle Xun spared the boy, this wine strength has not passed, Wen Lie is really strong enough to drink, Uncle Xun, where are you going?" ”
Xun Kuang Ha Lu Ha smiled: ", Wen Lie, you have slept for a whole night, and you have already reached the Bird Tail Slope, at this speed, you will be able to reach Xinye at this time tomorrow." ”
Xu Ji shook his head, which was still a little dizzy, and calculated silently in his heart: "Then you will reach the Xiangyang boundary in five or six days?" Xun Kuang's face was surprised: "Wen Lie, have you walked this waterway?" ”
Xu Ji shook his head: "This is the first time Wen Lie has gone far away, so let's talk about it." ”
Xun Kuang exclaimed: "That Wenlie, you are not simple, you actually know that there are still five or six days left. ”
A smile hung on the corner of Xu Ji's mouth: "Uncle Xun, you have a map on your desk, and I also know that this is Quewei Slope, and I estimate the distance I walk every day compared to the distance between here and Xiangyang, and I can know it at a glance." It's not a big deal. ”
Xun Kuang also said with a smile: "It's not easy to have such eyesight at a young age, Wen Lie doesn't have to be humble, just with your eyesight, I dare to say that you will also be able to lead troops in the future." ”
Xu Ji laughed: "Uncle Xun looks high, how can the leader of the troops not know the astronomical geography?" Wen Lie's subtle tricks are difficult to achieve, and Xu Ji is unwilling to learn from Zhao Kuo, who will only talk on paper. “
"Don't be arrogant or impatient, this kind of heart is very rare, Wen Lie, Uncle Xun's eyesight is not bad, and there is no big difference in looking at people. Let's take Wen Ruo as a comparison, Wen Ruo acts steadily, and is a humble gentleman, and it is difficult for the poor scholars and the martial artists to have a heart-to-heart relationship with him, but you are different, you are a poor family, and you are also a bold and heroic man, the world will be chaotic, and you will be able to have a place in this world. Wen Ruo is too cautious, Wen Lie, you are Qi Zheng, this is the second thing you are better than Wen Ruo. Third, if Wen Ruo is not good at military writing and war strategies, Wen Lie, you have an old vision, is the art of war on your desk fake? Looking at the three from a comprehensive perspective, Wen Lie, even if you are criticized for exile now, will An Zhi be the next heavy ear? ”
When Xu Ji heard this, he was shocked and said, "Uncle Xun said carefully, how can Xu Ji be so disobedient?" Ji is a vulgar person in the mountains and wilderness, and he feels shallow and ignorant after reading the book for a few months, how can he be more talented than Wen Ruo? Uncle Xun must not be like this. ”
"Gao Zu is just a bastard born by the pavilion chief, hehe, how many heroes have been buried between the rivers and lakes since ancient times? What's more, Wen Lie is talented, but after a few months of self-study, he has such talent, Wen Lie is only afraid that he is also a person with his own ambitions, Uncle Xun's words of relying on the old and selling the old are out of my mouth and into your ears, and no one knows about it, so there is no need to be so cautious. ”
"In life, you can't be wrong to be careful in everything, whether Wen Lie is talented or not, you have to time to prove." After that, he didn't speak anymore, got up and saluted, and walked out of the hall first, and Chen Zhi also gave up his hand and left with him.
The uncle behind him stroked his short beard with his hand and said to himself: "How long has it been since I have seen such an interesting junior?" Interesting, Xun Kuang really wants to know how far you can go. The strange smile on the uncle's face was like a man from outside the world who had seen through everything but refused to speak.
How far can you go? Xu Ji didn't say it explicitly, but he knew too well that Xu Ji's goal had never been the world.
