Chapter 395: Out of the Lan Secret Spectrum
The axe was brought, the kind of axe used for chopping wood is very commonly used, because it is often used, although the blade of the axe is not sharp, it is very bright, and the middle and back sections of the axe handle with the thickness of chicken eggs are also polished by the user's hand to be lubricated and shiny, as if coated with a layer of butter, with Tan Xiaotian's strength, it is really a little difficult to carry such an axe.
"Stand out of the way." took the axe with one hand and shook it, Lao Du asked Tan Xiaotian to stay away from the box, and then compared the axe on the lock of the box, found the right head and raised it high and swung it down violently, with a loud click, the rusty lock couldn't withstand the violent slash and fell to the ground.
"Alright." Throwing the axe away, Lao Du said proudly.
"Thank you, uncle." Lao Du's courage made Tan Xiaotian admire it very much, and thanked him repeatedly, while Lao Du became more and more proud.
The lock was removed, and it was naturally not difficult to open the box, Tan Xiaotian pressed the lid of the box and lifted it upward, and with an extremely slight squeak, the contents of the box appeared in front of his eyes.
Miscellaneous clothes, there are adults, there are children, although the material of the clothes is not very good, but it is much better than the local people in Meilong Town often wear, it can be seen that before coming to Meilong Town, the aunt's economic situation is still relatively good, if it is not for this gang of robbers, with the belongings carried in Meilong Town at least a well-off family, where can I use to work in Yuelai Inn to make a living?
However, Tan Xiaotian's purpose was not to use these clothes, he stretched out his hand and touched the clothes, and his face was full of joy, and his fingertips touched something, which was obviously different from the fabric of the clothes.
"What, found it?" Seeing the change in Tan Xiaotian's expression, Lao Du asked curiously, he was also illiterate, let alone read, but he saw that the child had been busy in the warehouse for a long time. I was also interested in what he was looking for.
"I don't know." Worried in his heart, Tan Xiaotian stretched his hand deeper into his clothes, and when he retracted it, there was already a book with a blue cover in his hand, and the corners of the cover were sharpened, showing that the book had been around for a long time, and the pages inside had also been yellowed, and the left side of the front of the cover was written in four inches square, 'Out of the Lan Secret Spectrum', and turned a few pages. Familiar chess games and annotated text come into view.
"What kind of book is this, is it what you're looking for?" Seeing that the child's eyes were straight when he looked through the book, Lao Du was even more curious, he didn't know how to read and couldn't play chess, the things on the book were not understood, if it was a picture or something, he could still understand, but the pages were all horizontal and vertical, black dots, white circles and a few words, what does this mean?
"Chess book. Out of the Lan secret spectrum. Tan Xiaotian replied.
"Chess books? Out of the secret spectrum? What do you mean? Lao Du asked confusedly, reaching out to take the book over to see if it was fresh, but Tan Xiaotian reflexively shrank back, obviously unwilling to give the book to others.
"Yo. Little guy, why are you so stingy, could it be that I will rob you? Seeing the vigilant appearance of the child guarding the baby, Lao Du couldn't help but be angry and funny. In his eyes, this thing is at most a thing used to make a fire when burning wood for cooking, and it is not necessary to give it to him in vain, but the child treats him as a thief. This is really the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
"Aren't you a robber?" Tan Xiaotian held the book in his arms and still asked vigilantly-Is this old man in the robber's den credible to say that he is not a robber? Is it the same as himself, a meat ticket taken from the bottom of the mountain? But if that's the case, this person is too free here, right?
"Uh, hehe, you're right, but no matter what, my old Du won't do anything to rob children. Okay, I won't look at it. Just tell me what this is. After explaining for a long time, Tan Xiaotian's vigilance did not relax at all, knowing that he was doing useless work, and he would not be like a child, he shook his head with a wry smile, and shrunk his hand back.
The other party retracted his hand and said don't read the book, Tan Xiaotian's vigilance was let go of a little, and a smile appeared on his face, "The chess book is a book that teaches chess, and the name of this book is called "The Secret Spectrum of the Orchid", which probably means "Qing is better than the Lan", which shows that the author has a deep literary foundation and is very meaningful. Tan Xiaotian replied.
"Qing out of the orchid is better than the orchid? What do you mean? I seem to have heard this sentence said, but I never understood what it meant. Scratching his head, Lao Du asked curiously.
"You don't even know that?!" Tan Xiaotian looked at Lao Du strangely, with an incredible expression on his face - how many people who have gone to school and read books don't know the origin of this sentence, the other party is in his forties, how can he not know as much as himself?
"Hehe, I can't read, I haven't studied, I can't even write my own name, where can I compare to a little young master like you." Lao Du's expression was a little embarrassed, he was asked by a little bit, I'm afraid there are not many people who can be quiet, right?
"Oh, that's right, I'll tell you." Knowing that the other party couldn't afford to go to school because his family was poor, Tan Xiaotian couldn't help but feel sympathy, how could he not have been like this three years ago, if it weren't for the kind-hearted teacher Yuan Lang Yuan, he would not have been able to study with other children of the same age.
This sentence is exemplified in "Xunzi. Persuasion of learning", 'green, taken from the blue, and better than the blue; Ice, water for it, and cold for water', the so-called green refers to a dye called indigo, which is extracted from a grass called indigo, but the color is darker than indigo, ice, which is made by freezing water, but ice is much colder than water. The meaning of these two sentences is very straightforward and easy to understand, but the meaning is very profound, which means that future generations learn from the experience of their predecessors and reach a higher height on the basis of their predecessors. Tan Xiaotian explained.
"Oh, that's what it means, well, it's really reasonable, I don't know about Qingyalan, but it's no better to be cold than water, and the person who can say this kind of thing must be someone who asks from the university." Pondering carefully what Tan Xiaotian said, Lao Du nodded frequently - he has no knowledge, but not all knowledge comes from books, in people's daily life, there are too many seemingly simple, but actually very profound truths, but even if ordinary people can feel it, they may not have the ability to express it in words.
