The next day, when the families were packing up their tents, the investigators started the car. He deliberately drove past Sanchi. He rolled down the window and greeted Sanchi like an adult: "I'll come back in a few days and keep your cordyceps for me." ”

Sanji didn't look away, he didn't want to talk to him.

Sanji's appearance made his father very anxious: "The leader is talking to you." ”

The researcher then said to his father, "I like this child, and I will bring him a gift when I come back." What does he like? ”

The father said, "Book." ”

The researcher turned to Sanji and said, "How about an encyclopedia?" The researcher lowered his voice and said, "Then you have made a lot of money." Do you know how much an encyclopedia is? Eight or nine hundred! Let me tell you, when you like someone, it means that you will suffer a big loss in the transaction! ”

He kicked the accelerator and the car staggered along the grassy beach. Sanji had seen the car drive up the grass and get stuck in the mud, and he thought it was going to sink in. More precisely, it was Sanchi who hoped that the car would sink. However, the car shook and roared, and rushed out of the soft grass on the ground, and drove onto the road, where the researcher waved his hand again, and the dust rolled up behind the butt of the car, and soon turned the mountain pass and disappeared, leaving only the dust under the canopy of the sky, and it lasted for a long time.

The father said in a reproachful tone, "People like you." ”

Sanchi said: "I don't like him talking to me like an amazing character. ”

However, he was already imagining what the encyclopedia would look like. This was the second time he had heard of a book called an encyclopedia. A few climbers came to the school, gave each of the students in their class a stationery box, and took a lot of photos with them. They said that when they returned to the city, they would send them the photos and an encyclopedia in two weeks at most. However, two years later, they have not received what these people promised to send.

On the new Cordyceps Mountain, Sanji was always thinking about this encyclopedia.

At this time, the investigators were on their way. On the way, when he encountered a traffic jam, he stopped the car with a curse.

He scolded because he was unhappy.

Not long ago, he was also the deputy county magistrate of the county. When the cadres were adjusted, people said that he would become the county magistrate, and no matter how bad he was, he could become the executive deputy county magistrate. However, as a result of the adjustment, he became a researcher in this county. We all know that a cadre is about to retire and needs to settle down, so he should be a researcher. He was only in his early forties and became a researcher. The first thing I did as a researcher was to investigate the situation of the Cordyceps season holiday in rural schools. The investigators are also equipped with drivers. But he was not happy, and he drove to the countryside. It was also because he was not happy in his heart, as soon as he arrived at the school where Sanji went to school, he said, Cordyceps, Cordyceps, the task of the students is to study hard and dig up Cordyceps. As a result, he canceled the cordyceps leave at school. A week later, his anger had subsided a lot, and his friends called him and told him to get some cordyceps, walk around where he should go, and at least he could be reinstated. So, he gave the school another week of cordyceps leave. He said, "What if you don't let it go?" Adults and children on the grassland are counting on this thing to live. ”

At the foot of the Cordyceps Mountain in Sanji's village, he collected 50,000 yuan of Cordyceps. Right now, he's driving a car, anxious to get these fresh cordyceps to a place. Because of the traffic jam on the road, he entered the city after dark when the street lamps on the street were lit up on both sides of the newly built Yingbin Avenue. On this night, he knocked on the doors of two houses, and the village chief's cordyceps were given to the minister, and Sanji's cordyceps were given to the secretary.

Sanchi's cordyceps stayed at the secretary's house for three nights.

On the third night, the secretary came back late. The secretary's wife took out the cordyceps in the refrigerator.

She chewed one carefully and thought it was a good cordyceps.

At this time, the secretary went home.

The secretary's wife said: "This year's cordyceps is good! ”

The secretary said: "Then wrap it beautifully, and send it to the secretary when you have time." ”

The wife smiled and said, "The secretary gave it to the secretary." ”

The secretary also smiled and said, "Maybe the secretary won't eat it, and then give it to the bigger secretary." ”

The secretary's wife was born in teaching, and she has stopped teaching in the past few years, but she is fine, she likes to study at home, so she said something like this: "Why didn't anyone write a book of "Cordyceps Travels"? ”

The secretary is also a working doctor, although the dissertation is helped by others, in the end the undergraduate is still in person, and he has to go to the Internet when he goes home, he sits down in front of the computer, and when the mouse slides, he casually says: "You can't read it, the local economy and culture are underdeveloped, and no one writes novels, let alone officialdom novels." ”

The wife packed up the cordyceps, but left dozens of them and carefully packed them in a jar. The secretary shook his head and said, "I'm stingy." Calculate how many Cordyceps mountains are in charge, and count how many ordinary people are digging this thing on the mountains at this time, there must be 350,000, 100,000 people. I'm afraid there is no cordyceps! ”

My wife said, "Just want to be fresh and replenish qi." ”

"I'm so angry!"

"Then mention it again!"

In the morning, the car came to the door to pick up the secretary to work. The wife handed the teacup to the secretary: "Don't be too hot for the first time." ”

The secretary said, "But the new cordyceps have come down." ”

When I arrived at the office building, the first meeting was the Cordyceps Society, the meeting of the Cordyceps purchase order, and the meeting of the rational development and protection of Cordyceps resources.

The secretary sat on the stage and spoke, with a transparent teacup in front of him, tea leaves floating in the teacup, and a cordyceps lying at the bottom of the teacup, as if he wanted to look at the people below. There was also a teacup on the table in front of the people below. Some teacups also have Cordyceps lying in them. The voice in the microphone was buzzing, and the cordyceps under the cup seemed to be visiting each other.

Sanchi's three cordyceps were separated at the secretary's house.

Two got into a light-tight plastic bag and lay in the refrigerator. One lies in the secretary's cup. After the meeting, the secretary returned to the office, listened to a few reports, read two documents, drank the water in the cup in one go, scooped up the fat cordyceps again, threw it in his mouth and chewed it. After chewing, he said alone: "Such a heavy fishy smell." ”

Just as the secretary came in, he continued: "It was originally a worm." ”

The secretary said, "Bugs? Are you trying to make me sick? ”

The secretary hurriedly compensated: "Boss, I said something wrong." ”

The secretary's disgusting energy passed: "I still need you to engage in popular science!" ”

At this time, Sanji was resting on the mountain.

He covered his face with his arms and slept in the sun for a while. As soon as he closed his eyes, he heard many sounds that he couldn't hear when he opened them: the sound of grass breaking through the soil, the sound of last year's dead grass losing further moisture in the sun, the sound of frozen soil thawing deeper in the earth. Then, he fell asleep. He dreamed of an encyclopedia again. He woke up, rubbed his eyes, and remembered what the book looked like. But he couldn't remember. I can't think of anything. This annoyed him for a while. After digging up five or six more cordyceps, he figured it out. He even giggled, and he said to himself, "You just dreamed of a word, a name." How can you dream about something you haven't seen before? ”

The weather is getting warmer, the grass is getting greener, the snow line is getting higher and higher, and the cordyceps grows taller, and the roots below are shriveled. This also means that this year's cordyceps season should be over.

On the night of the end of the Cordyceps season, a cordyceps collector showed a movie at the camp. When the movie camera casts light and shadow on the screen, the starry sky disappears. What kind of movie is that? There is no way to describe these people who dig Cordyceps. In this country, there are few films that they can clearly describe. Several of the people in the movie speak Mandarin Chinese, which most people here don't understand, from room to room, from car to car, from building to building, talking, talking, getting angry, crying, throwing things, laughing, and kissing. For the people who dig Cordyceps, they live in an unreal world, a world that has nothing to do with them. However, now that the Cordyceps season has ended, and every household has counted the cordyceps they have dug up one by one, the money earned in this cordyceps season has been clearly calculated, whether it is sitting in the tent or sitting in front of the movie screen, then let's sit here with everyone. After seeing it, there were even bursts of laughter in the audience. It's kind of funny to babble and run because you don't do anything. When kissing, it's funny that you have to stick out your tongue to reach someone else's lips because you touch your nose. Later, the wind rose. The windswept screen was blown into a hemispherical shape. The screen drummed forward, and those slender beauties seemed to bulge their big bellies. The wind turned in one direction, the screen drummed back, and everyone on the screen, whether they were crying or laughing, bent down deeply. This situation also caused people to laugh out loud. When the wind is strong, the screen and the people on the screen are torn around, so that the movie party has to end early.

When I returned to my tent, there was a fire burning in the stove and hot tea in my stomach, and my mother suddenly laughed. The mother laughed and said, "That person ...... That woman, that woman ......"

My father laughed too.

Sanji didn't laugh, he didn't laugh at something he couldn't understand.

He opened the box again, the one that had cost him three cordyceps, and counted the cordyceps inside. This Cordyceps season, he wants to write a letter to tell his sister that this Cordyceps season, he, his father and mother have earned almost 50,000 yuan.

He doesn't write letters on paper. He had to wait until he got back to school and write on Mr. Dobujie's computer. His sister left him an email address. My sister's school has a computer room where she can receive letters. He wanted to tell her that there was only a difference of more than 2,000 yuan, and their family earned 50,000 yuan this Cordyceps season. He wants to tell his sister that at this time, even if he asks his father for 2,000 yuan at a time, he will not feel distressed.

That night, two groups of people came to the tent.

One is the one who shows the movie. They came to show the movie to collect Cordyceps.

One group is the people in the monastery.

Neither group received cordyceps from their homes.

The people at the monastery asked, "Did you sell it to the people who showed the movie?" ”

My father said, "If it weren't for the cadres above, our cordyceps would have been sold to you." ”

The people in the monastery were not happy and scolded: "These cadres have really long hands. ”

At this time, the sound of cars sounded outside.

It was the researcher, and he drove the car directly to Sanchi's tent.

This time, he took a cordyceps merchant with him.

The Cordyceps merchant was his friend.

In the past, the cordyceps merchant was a deputy section chief, and he was also a deputy section chief.

When the cordyceps merchant resigned and went to sea, he became the director of the education bureau. The Cordyceps merchant made a fortune, and he became the deputy county magistrate. The cordyceps merchant invited him to eat and drink, saying, "This is also a kind of common progress." ”

However, if he is not careful, he will become a researcher. Cordyceps merchants made more money. He went to the cordyceps merchant again to eat and drink, and he said, "This time, I fell behind." ”

The Cordyceps merchant opened the freezer and took out a packet of Cordyceps: "What's there, run, send, and catch up again." ”

But he put the cordyceps back in the cupboard.

That day, he went to deliver the cordyceps he bought and came back, and found the cordyceps merchant who still lived in the county seat: "Run, deliver, does it really work?" More than 50,000 yuan! ”

"Don't you know that others also send it?"

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes."

"Did they accept it?"

"Accepted. But I don't have any money. ”

The Cordyceps merchant is his friend: "If you collect another 200,000 Cordyceps, won't you earn it back?" ”

"I don't have any money."

The cordyceps merchant dragged out a dirty bag from under the bed and kicked it: "Take 200,000 from it." ”

The dirty pockets are full of money. 10,000 yuan a bundle. The investigator took twenty bundles. The cordyceps merchant tied the bag again and kicked it back under the bed.

The cordyceps merchant said, "I'll go with you, take it, sell it to me, and give you 50,000 yuan." ”

The investigator said: "It's not a disguised bribe. ”

"I'm looking for you on an errand?"

"Nope."

"If I really want to do anything now, your official is too small."

In this way, the two of them went to the countryside together to collect cordyceps.

The two men came to Sanchi's tent.

Seeing the researcher, Sanji really looked like he wanted to wear it.

The researcher counted the cordyceps unhurriedly, and then watched Sanchi's father count the money one by one with a satisfied expression.

Then, the researcher and his friend went to someone else's tent.

It was late, and Sanchi didn't want to sleep yet. He remembered that the researcher was going to give him an encyclopedia.

The father said: "Sleep, it's good if the cadre doesn't lower the price, don't expect him to give you something." ”

Sanji refused to sleep. He buried his head between his legs, disappointment crushing him.

By this time, the night was already deep. The father said, "I'm going to sleep." ”

Sanchi didn't move.

His father came to call him to sleep, and he shook his shoulders and shook his hand away. The father sighed and lay down on his own.

At this moment, he heard a squeak, and he knew that it was not an animal, it was the sound of the researcher opening the remote lock of the car. Then, there is the bright light shaking.

He went out, and the researcher and his friend were pitching a tent by the car — the kind of mountaineering tent that tourists use when camping.

Sanchi watched as they wore headlamps, spread moisture-proof mats in their tents, and opened their sleeping bags.

The researcher was about to fall asleep when the headlamp lit up Sanchi's face.

He patted his head and said, "Look at my memory." ”

The researcher came out of the tent and said, "Let me take a look at me and see if I am a man of my word." ”

He took Sanji to the car and said, "You know what? During the few days I stayed at your school, I read all your homework, and I told your principal that this place will not produce such outstanding students for a while. ”

Then, a cardboard box appeared in front of him, right in the back seat of the car. The researcher turned on the roof light and showed him the word encyclopedia written on the cardboard box. The researcher took out a knife and opened a gap in the tape that had sealed the box. Sanji pulled back the tape and peeled off the lid, revealing a neat row of gilded backs of books.

The researcher touched his head: "I didn't break my promise, did I?" ”

Sanji nodded, "You don't." ”

"Didn't your dad tell you that the cadres are unreliable?"

Sanji said, "I'm going to give you ten more cordyceps next year." ”

The researcher laughed: "Ten cordyceps can be exchanged for these books?" No, no one reads these books anyway. ”

Sanji climbed into the car to carry the book box, and the researcher pressed his hand: "No, I'll leave these books at school tomorrow." You can get these books when you go back to school, and if you don't go back, you won't get them. Got it? I want you to go to school well. ”

Sanchi said, "I want to see it now." ”

The researcher pulled out an overcoat from the back seat and threw it on him: "Then let's watch it in the car." ”

Sanji stayed in the car to read.

These thick, heavy books have small, dense characters, but so many pictures. That night, he relied on these pictures to see almost the whole world. I saw the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the ice and penguins in Antarctica, the distant planet, and the beautiful appearance of snowflakes when enlarged. He also learned the nice names of several flowers on the prairie: primrose and rhododendron and aeolia. It's just that he didn't find Cordyceps. The book was made up by a foreigner, and he thought, it must be that they don't have cordyceps there. But it's not right to think about it, they don't have Antarctica and penguins there, but they have them in the book. Later, he fell asleep in the car holding a book.

In the morning, the windows of the car were covered with frost flowers.

Sanji said to the researcher who opened the car door: "I love these books. ”

"Now, put them back in the box and you'll get these books when you go back to school," the researcher said. ”

When he filled the box with books, he was reluctant to look at the pictures. So, the tent was dismantled and packed into the trunk of the car, and he still had two books left unpacked back into the box.

The car staggered and moved, and he chased it out for a long time.

On that day, the whole village dismantled their tents and prepared to go home with the money from the sale of cordyceps.

Everyone seemed beaming.

It was almost noon when the lamas who had come to preside over the ceremony of thanking the mountain god arrived. They said it was because the ceremony in another village had been delayed for a long time. But everyone in the village knows that it is because this year, they did not receive much cordyceps in this village. So, at the end of the ceremony, the people in the village gave the lamas more than usual.

The whole village was happy to go back, but Sanji just wanted to go back to school as soon as possible.

Encyclopedia is no longer a word for him, but a real and incomparably rich existence.

The encyclopedia contained everything that he did not have in the world in which he lived: a huge library, whales moving through the ocean, sails, leaning on the city's harbor, flocks of birds in the harbor and the setting sun.

Returning to the village, the newly built settlement, and looking at the identical houses neatly arranged in the middle of the wilderness, Sanchi couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation in his heart. He knew in his heart that these houses were a parody of an encyclopedia of a certain way. Because the people who live in these houses don't live the same lives as people in the same houses in other worlds.

Sanji knew that it was the encyclopedia that worked in his mind.

Grandma stood on crutches at the door of the house and waited for them to return.

As Sanchi pressed his forehead against his grandmother's, he smelled a breath, a dry smell of something as it was falling.

Father unbuckled his belt.

In every lump on his belt was a bundle of money. His father took one out of it and told him to go to Zimi's house.

The Zimi family runs a kiosk that sells batteries, disposable lighters, instant noodles, beer, cigarettes, candy and chicken cakes.

He used fifty dollars to buy beer and chicken cakes in a small shop.

The family sat down in the warm sunshine, with dad enjoying a beer and grandma and mom enjoying a chicken cake.

Sanji lay on the grass, watching his grandmother's mouth curled, her lips moving from side to side, and the soft oily chicken cake, and her heart felt warmer than the sun on her body. He was wondering what it would be like for a person who had lost a tooth to grind directly with the gums.

Grandma also kept raising her hand and throwing the pastries in her hand to the birds that squeaked and fell around her.

Sanchi smiled happily.

He shouted to his grandmother, "Grandma, I'm going back to school tomorrow!" ”

Grandma smiled at him for some reason.

He said, "Grandma, I have an encyclopedia!" ”

Grandma, of course, didn't understand what an encyclopedia was, but she still grinned, narrowing her eyes into a slit and smiling at him.

However, Sanchi did not get the encyclopedia.

When he returned to school, he asked Mr. Dobujie if the researcher had really left him the book.

Teacher Dobujie's expression was serious: "Let's get to know you about skipping school." ”

He knew that he didn't know anything about it in his heart, but like all students who made mistakes, he lowered his head and pretended to be afraid and regretful, and raised his left foot to rub the boot of his right foot with the sole of his boot. Then, in a mosquito-like voice, say, "I was wrong. I review. ”

Teacher Dobujie said: "I believe it when others admit it, but I don't believe it if you admit it." ”

This is an important reason why he loves Mr. Dobujie. So, he raised his head and cast an inquiring look at Mr. Dobujie.

The teacher said, "If you think it's wrong, you won't do it." ”

Sanji pulled his homework book out of his bag, and he finished all the homework he had escaped from class.

Teacher Dobujie was drawing, and he used his paintbrush to block the homework book handed to him: "You can complete your homework without going to class, do you want me to let me know how talented you are?" ”

Sanji pulled out a large handful of candy from his bag and placed it next to his palette.

Teacher Dobujie put down the paintbrush, peeled off the shiny cellophane, and threw one in his mouth: "You earned it through labor, it tastes good!" ”

Only then did Sanji dare to speak: "My encyclopedia." ”

Teacher Dobujie said, "So this book is yours!" ”

"Where's my book?"

Teacher Dobujie: "That person's shelf is a bit big, and he still gives you books?" ”

Sanchi said, "Where's my book?!" ”

Teacher Dobujie said, "He came to my office and said he wanted to see your homework. He complimented you. ”

Sanji was anxious: "Teacher! ”

"By the way, your book, right? Instead, he handed over a box of books to the headmaster. ”

Sanji didn't wait for Mr. Dobujie to finish speaking, and rushed out of the room. Out of the room, turn the corner, and the third room is the principal's office. When Sanji saw that the door was open, he rushed in.

The headmaster sat behind a desk with a national flag and a map of the world behind him. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his head, and without waiting for Sanji to speak, he waved his hand and said, "Have you forgotten the rules for entering the door?" Get out! ”

Sanji retreated to the door, carefully pushed the door open, and shouted, "Report! ”

The headmaster dragged his voice and said, "Come in." ”

Sanji went in and stood in front of the headmaster's desk in an upright position.

The headmaster looked up and said, "It's you." ”

Sanchi said, "My book, my encyclopedia. ”

The principal said, "Did you send a review book?" ”

Sanji said: "I have already reviewed it with Mr. Dobuje. He said that the encyclopedia that the researcher gave me was with you. ”

The principal tapped the table with a pen: "Yes, there is an encyclopedia, I thought the researcher gave it to my school." We don't have an encyclopedia in our entire school, how could he give it to you? ”

Hearing this, Sanchi's tears burst through his eyes. He had no idea that this would be the case. It wasn't until the tears burst out of his eyes that he remembered to warn himself not to cry, but the warning came too late, and he could only restrain himself from crying, but the tears could not stop flowing.

At this moment, the principal was a little at a loss for what to do: "Talk well, why is this doll like this!" ”

Feeling embarrassed, Sanji turned around and rushed out of the principal's office. He didn't dare to go back to the dormitory, for fear that his classmates would see it, so he turned his head and rushed up the hillside outside the school gate, until the tears stopped in his eye sockets and stopped flowing out, and then he returned to school. The principal is locking the door to his office.

He said, "My book." ”

The principal walked home as he spoke: "What are you running while you are talking, and do you want to skip school?" Go back and hand in a review! ”

At this moment, two thunders rang out from the sky. These are the first two thunders of the year. Then, it kind of means it's going to rain.

The headmaster stood under the eaves and watched the clouds piling up rapidly in the sky, and he said, "Don't cry? Do you say that God is helping me scare you, or is it helping you scare me? ”

"The researcher said he was going to leave the encyclopedia that had been given to me at school and let me pick it up when I got back to school," Sanji said. ”

The principal said, "Then why didn't he give it to you at that time?" ”

"He was afraid that if he put it on the back of an ox, he would break the book."

Snow fell from the sky instead of rain. The headmaster stood under the eaves, and Sanchi stood in the open air, the snow falling. And what fell on his shoulders and on his body jumped to the ground, and what fell on his head lay in his hair.

The headmaster said, "Stand up." ”

Sanchi didn't move.

The headmaster said, "He put an encyclopedia in it, but he didn't say he was going to give it to you." I thought it was for the school. After saying that for so many years, every school should build a library, and when he finally saw a box of books, someone actually ran to him. ”

"It's mine."

"The next time he comes to investigate, we'll ask him face to face."

Sanji was really going to cry again.

On the glass window behind the principal, a somewhat puffy face appeared, which was the face of the principal's wife. The woman didn't have a job and washed the bedding of the whole school. When she doesn't have asthma, she changes every half a month. If she had an asthma attack, it might be. When her face seemed so full, it meant that her breath was held again.

Sanji said, "Headmaster, go back." ”

The principal said, "Thanks to your kindness, don't pester me." ”

Sanji said, "Let's wait for the researcher to come and ask him." ”

"That's what I mean! Go back. The principal pushed the door open, turned around, and said, "You can borrow books from the school library!" ”

Sanji went to the headmaster's house.

The headmaster told him to wait in the living room with the fire lit, and went into the inner room by himself. Sanji stood by the fire, his cold hands roasted, his nose smelling the herbs that filled the room, but his ears heard the sound of asthma coming from the back room. The principal soon came out, holding an encyclopedia in his hand: "This is the first volume, I know you love books, but you can't delay the exam!" ”

Holding the book, Sanji braved the snow and ran through the open space between the teacher's dormitory and the student's dormitory, climbed onto the bed, and eagerly opened the thick book. It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that the lights went out, and he reluctantly closed the book. That night, he couldn't sleep for a long time. Listening to the strong wind on the plateau sweeping across the rooftops, and listening to the low roar of the beast-like fierce dogs in the Tibetan mastiff farm on the edge of the town at least three or four miles away, the vast world described in the book shook before my eyes.

The next morning, the school reopened after the Cordyceps holiday.

The whole school lined up to gather, the national anthem was played on the radio, because of the sound, the majestic music seemed a little thin, and the flag raiser slowly raised the national flag in the campus. The principal speaks.

The principal told a story. The story of a student's love for books. After hearing most of the story, Sanji realized that it seemed to be about how he had chased the headmaster yesterday and begged for an encyclopedia. The difference is that in this story, the unpleasant situation of yesterday disappears, and a student who hears that the school has a brand new encyclopedia and can't wait for the official completion of the school library pesters the principal for a sneak peek.

The principal's closing words were: "Students, why are we waiting? Wouldn't we have a thirst for books if we couldn't build a library? ”

A buzz of discussion rang out in the neatly arranged queue of students on the playground. Everyone made a little noise, and when it mixed up, it was like a swarm of invisible bugs flying in the sky. It wasn't until everyone was on him that Sanji realized that the principal was talking about himself. When so many eyes focused on him, he couldn't help but tremble.

He didn't expect that because of the book, he would become a character in a story.

It allowed him to see himself in a way that was not his own.

It's a bit like seeing yourself in the mirror.

Sanji saw a man standing in the story.

After the principal finished speaking, the people in the playground dispersed. The wind was very little on this day, lazy, and blowing for a while. At the end of the holiday, the newly replaced flag is gently rolled in the breeze. In the classroom, students read the text aloud in a long voice. Sanji did not like to recite texts in such a tone. He likes to meditate in his heart at his own pace. In his own rhythm, the Tibetan alphabet flies lightly like a bee, and the Chinese characters tinkle one by one. In this lesson, he did not recite the text.

He sat in the middle of a classroom reading the text in a long voice, and he saw the Sanchi in the story.

Sanji was wearing a sheepskin robe with some grease on the surface, and underneath the robe was a blue sweatshirt that filled the school uniform, with an ochre-colored face and eyes that radiated crystal light. In the past two years, the student's growth has accelerated dramatically, and the original wide leather robe is wrapped around the belt, and after pulling out one or two pleats that make the robe look good, it can no longer cover the knees. Of course, he can also wear only the school uniform. But the blue sportswear looks too thin this season. When Sanchi saw the Sanchi in the story, his eyes burned with longing, and it was as hot as a flame in a flickering hearth. The encyclopedia says that those glaciers facing the sea will one day collapse and cause huge waves in the ocean. The encyclopedia entry also says that there were huge whales in those seas and flocks of penguins on those icebergs. Compared to other students, Sanji has a special ability to connect seemingly unrelated terms, just as he can connect one text after another. He suddenly saw the whales angry and the penguins scared away when the icebergs collapsed at sea. Sanchi's eyes twinkled like stars at the sight of this wonder of the world.

The four morning classes passed quickly. When the broken tire and steel ring hanging on the playground rang, the classmates ran to the cafeteria, but he ran out of the school and ran to the high post behind the school. At this time, Sanchi felt that the rolling hills that were dyed green with spring grass, and the winding rivers between the hills that glistened in the sun, were also telling him something like an encyclopedia.

At that moment, his cheeks were red and his eyes were burning and glowing.

At this moment, a horse shook its head and reached in front of him. On horseback sat a lama.

The lama rolled over and dismounted, and sat down beside him.

Sanchi was still so immersed in the thought-provoking mood he had created that he ignored the lama.

The revered lama was unimpressed, and said in a crepe manner: "Why do young people become so agitated? ”

Sanchi raised his finger to point to the meandering river.

The lama said, "The Yellow River." ”

Sanchi: "Did it really flow into the sea?" ”

The lama said, "Yes! The sea where coral trees grow, the sea where the D-snail. ”

The lama exclaimed, "An enlightened boy! ”

The lama advised him: "Wise boy, listen to the poor monk!" ”

Sanchi: "Say it." ”

The lama said, "The river went to the sea, turned into clouds and rain again, and returned to the place of origin of tranquility and purity." So, we don't have to go with the river to the sea. ”

Sanchi: "I just want to follow the river all the way to the sea. ”

The lama shook his head: "How much dirt and dirt will be stained along the way, how many twists and turns will be experienced, how can I be embarrassed!" How embarrassing! Young man, you have such a good root apparatus, follow me, and practice away from dirt! ”

Sanji stood up and ran down the hill.

After a while, he climbed up the hill again panting and holding the encyclopedia. He was sweating. The whole body smelled of ghee emitted from the heat of the leather robe.

The lama was still sitting on the hill, and the horse was behind him with a saddle and grazing with his head down.

Sanji handed him the thick book.

The lama flipped through the book and said, "The great Dharma always covers everything, and the hues of the world are really varied!" ”

Sanchi said, "I'm not a lama, I'm going to school!" ”

The lama got up and touched his head, and Sanchi felt an electric current running through his body.

Sanji said, "For three years, I haven't seen you among the lamas who collect cordyceps and sacrifice to the mountain gods. ”

The lama turned over and rode his horse and said in a loud voice: "Young man, by chance, we met here and now. ”

Sanchi's heart suddenly felt reluctant, so he lowered his head and fell silent.

The lama turned his horse's head: "The young man has changed his mind?" ”

Sanji shook his head and ran down the hill with the book in his hand.

At this time, he felt hungry. Classmates helped him keep food. As he devoured his lunch box, he glanced out the window at the mountain, where the lama was still on a horse, with the blue sky in his back, and he was a beautiful silhouette.

The classmate said, "Good boy, we all thought you were going to go with him." ”

Teacher Dobujie also came: "It's the same as Banjue. ”

Sanji asked, "Who is Ban Jue?" ”

"A former student, a child as smart and studious as you." "However, maybe you are smarter than Banjue. ”

Holding a camera with a long focal length lens, Mr. Dobuje leaned to the window to take a picture of the lama on the hill, but the man and his horse were gone. On the hills, behind the light of the grass is the blue sky, and the blue sky is a sparkling white cloud.

Sanchi took the camera and looked at the sky through the telephoto lens. The camera pulls the silent clouds hanging in the sky in front of him. In the lens, the clouds that are so quiet from a distance are so uncalm, torn and surging by the invisible wind in the sky, churning endlessly.

A week later, on Saturday, Sanchi finished reading his first encyclopedia. He didn't go home, he went to the principal's house to change the second volume. Little did he expect that the principal would reject him. The principal said, "There are just a few books, everyone wants to borrow them, who do you think I should lend them to?" I had to borrow no one. Wait, come back when the library is up. ”

Sanji said, "It was originally my book. ”

The principal sneered: "Your book? When the researcher came, I invited him to eat meat and drink wine on behalf of the school, but he didn't even say thank you, threw down the books and left. He didn't say thank you, let alone that the book was for a student. ”

A squeaky fire rose in Sanchi's heart.

The principal asked, "Go back and do your homework, it's time for the junior high school exam." ”

Sanchi wants to say "I hate you". But he remembered that his father and mother had told him that he should not be hated in life.

The principal asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

A smile appeared on Sanji's face: "I don't blame you. ”

Headmaster: "Y-no-blame me?" ”

Sanji affirmed, "I don't blame you. ”

Headmaster: "You're trying to say you don't hate me, do you?" ”

Sanji said: "When I got to junior high school, I went to the county seat to ask the researcher!" ”

Actually, Sanchi had some hatred at that time. Because as he was about to leave the house, he heard the cry of the three-year-old grandson of the headmaster's house in the inner room. Then, the asthmatic grandmother put the book he had gone to in front of the crying child. The child stopped crying and flipped through the pictures in the book with a pair of dirty hands.

The principal was not embarrassed and said, "In the future, he will definitely love books more than you." ”

Sanji couldn't bear to look at it anymore, for the snot and tears on the child's face were slowly sliding down and were about to drip onto his beloved book.

The grandmother, who was physically and mentally exhausted, leaned back on the bed and closed her eyes to rest.

Sanchi ran out of the house.

He was furious, and he ran to Teacher Dobujie's house.

Teacher Dobujie is not there. He must have gone to the township health center to find the new female doctor.

So, he went to Teacher Namu.

The teacher sat quietly in the sunlight under the window with a serious expression.

In the tape recorder was a love song by Cangyang Gyatso: "If there is no meeting, people will not fall in love, and if there is no love, how can they suffer from this lovesickness." ”

The teacher listened to the song and looked out the window, not even seeing him enter the room.

Sanji changed his mind and quietly withdrew.
