Today is the Double Ninth Festival, and the weather is very good!

I have been in this mountain village for more than three months, and the temperature after late autumn has gradually become colder, and it is the first time that Li Bai has finally felt the festive atmosphere of the Tang Empire in this backward and wild mountain village?

Of course, the festive atmosphere here is really too far from the powerful modern country he lived in before, compared to the kind of people in the city who find excuses to put up lights and call friends to go to the restaurant after work to have a big meal or a big health care or something.

But it doesn't matter, because Li Bai heard what his sister Qingmei said to him, today when her father, that is, Uncle Lin, who is quiet on weekdays, goes to climb and come back, he will smoke the smoked wild boar leg hanging on the stove for a long time in the back kitchen, chop up the thing he has been coveting for a long time, stew it and eat it as a family?

I think that at the beginning, as the second generation of Li Bai, in modern society, he was already tired of eating those delicacies and delicacies, where would he look at such a shoddy wild boar leg?

However, after coming to this Tang Dynasty world and eating and drinking clear soup and water in this isolated small mountain village for nearly a month, he had no meat at two ends for three days, and even if there was, it was at most bone and minced meat soup, and his mouth had already faded out of his mouth.

Now he seems to have accepted his fate and has no pursuit, so he points to a good meal of meat today!

“……”

"Sister Mei'er, don't be distracted, continue to write silently!"

Li Bai, who was practicing swords in the forest at the back of the village, was thinking about various things while urging the little girl next to him to write articles silently, and gradually, his thoughts couldn't help but diverge a little.

Speaking of Chongyang, Li Bai is no stranger, because he has read the relevant literature of Chongyang, and the source can be traced back to before the pre-Qin period.

Reportedly......

In the pre-Qin period, the ancients had carried out the kind of sacrificial activities to worship the emperor and ancestors at the time of the harvest of crops in September, and to thank the emperor and ancestors for their kindness, which was the most primitive form of the Chongyang Festival as a sacrificial activity in the ancient pre-Qin period.

In the Western Han Dynasty, people gradually had the custom of planting dogwoods, climbing heights and drinking chrysanthemum wine on September 9.

Finally, in the current Tang Dynasty, that is, the period where Li Bai was located, it developed to the Double Ninth Festival to climb high and seek longevity, and at the same time, it was necessary to hold large-scale banquets or collective activities such as sacrifices to ward off evil spirits?

This is just like the description described in Wang Weishi, the representative of the Tang Dynasty Landscape Poetry School and the founder of the ink and wash landscape painting school, in "Memories of Shandong Brothers on September 9th"? It can be seen that the people of this Datang world ascended to the top to pray for blessings on September 9 for no reason, although this Datang is not the Datang that Li Bai is familiar with?

Of course, Li Bai was not interested in climbing high to pray for longevity or something, and he didn't follow to join in the fun, and he didn't know if that kind of activity was reliable.

In fact, many children and villagers in this village did not follow, after all, not everyone has the leisure to climb the heights to pray for longevity, some villagers are not rich, and if they don't work for a day, they may go hungry, and hungry people will die, and where do they have the heart to care about other higher pursuits when they can't eat enough?

And those who have the leisure to climb are all people with better conditions in the village, to put it bluntly, they are just guys who are full of food and have nothing to do.

Although he thought so subconsciously, Li Bai didn't want to make any judgments about those people's ascension, especially after knowing that there were immortals in this world, and that this world was different from the world he was familiar with, he rarely made any comments on some 'superstitious' practices of people in this world that he couldn't understand. Prudence in words and deeds has become his code of conduct, and he is in this mountain village, carefully observing and examining everything in this strange world through the every move of the mountain people and the exchanges and conversations on weekdays.

Of course, it is not an exaggeration to say that he was frightened or cowardly, after all, anyone who sees the illusion of the immortal, that is, the huge golden dragon, appear in broad daylight, and sees that this world suddenly becomes so strange, and his knowledge and perception of the world are completely subverted, he will always be a little vigilant.

In addition to the dragon he saw with his own eyes on the day of praying for rain, Li Bai had also heard a lot of strange rumors from the villagers during this time, such as: a certain section of the nearby envoy led his troops to angrily behead the evil Jiao, a plague broke out in a certain place and the city god appeared to calm the epidemic one day, and there were evil spirits in a certain village that caused countless harms, and was caught and nailed to the locust tree by a certain mage and burned it in public with a fierce fire for 7749 days to make his soul scatter and no longer do evil, etc.?

Therefore, Li Bai, who became more and more insecure, did not follow Uncle Lin and other villagers and naughty boys to climb the heights, but continued to stay in the village, and took advantage of the opportunity to have nothing to do and no lunch all day, and continued to practice his swordsmanship and calligraphy well, and worked hard for himself to have a better chance to live in this world in the future.

And in the case that he Li Bai chose not to go, it was natural that Qingmei, the little girl who wanted to follow him to learn to read and write, did not choose to climb with the adults, but followed him in a hurry, and practiced writing silently by the sand pit while he was practicing swordsmanship.

She was silently writing the "Thousand Character Text" that Li Bai had taught her before, that is, the version of the children's enlightenment book compiled by the Liang Dynasty Sanqi Shilang and Zhou Xingsi in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

Because in Li Bai's view, "Thousand Character Text" starts from the opening of heaven and earth, writing about heaven and earth, the sun and moon, the stars, clouds and rain, frost and fog, and the changes of cold and heat in the four seasons, as well as the differences between gold and jade, ironware, treasures, fruits, vegetables and vegetables, as well as rivers, lakes and seas, and even the early history of mankind and the performance of Shang Tang and King Wu of Zhou during his heyday, which is much stronger than the Four Books and Five Classics.

Of course, Li Bai may also teach the other party the Four Books and Five Classics or something in the future, after all, it can be used in this era, and in addition to that, physics, chemistry and mathematics he also teaches as much as possible, because they have time!

As for foreign languages or anything, he definitely won't teach them.

You must know that the current Tang Empire is the core of the world, the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, so he won't teach the little girl to learn the language of the barbarians! Anyway, he would never admit the fact that he was not qualified in foreign language and had not passed the fourth or sixth level, he didn't bother to learn, so he wouldn't let the little girl follow suit.

"Hey!"

"Brother Li Bai ~ ♡ What is next after the sentence 'Leap Yu Cheng, Lu Lu Tunes Yang'?"

Writing and writing, Lin Qingmei suddenly had to stop, and then the delicate little face that was no longer dirty all day long under Li Bai's teaching, and the pair of big eyes on it that seemed to be able to speak looked at him blinkingly.

If it is written against her, it will definitely be no problem, but if it is written silently, it will be a little difficult for her, especially when the "Thousand Character Text" is still so long.

“……”

"Didn't I just review it with you?" The leap is more than an adult, and the law is followed by 'clouds cause rain, and dew becomes frost'! ”

Li Bai, who was practicing his sword on the yellowed grass that had already been trampled on by himself, replied a little absent-mindedly, because he had already practiced to the last moment, and he had to finish this set of swordsmanship in one breath to stop, and he couldn't be discouraged halfway, otherwise this set would be practiced in vain.

Anyway, that's what the swordsmanship says, and he can only do it, as for why he does this, he doesn't know for the time being.

"Ha~♡"

"That's right, this is it!"

After being reminded, the little girl cheered excitedly, and then continued to write in the sand pit in the immature handwriting, which was still a little crooked.

In more than two months, she has learned to write a lot of words, and she can still write them silently, even after being reminded, but it is very remarkable.

"But ......"

"Brother Li Bai, what's next?"

However, after just finishing writing 'Clouds Cause Rain, Dew Turns to Frost', she had to stop again, and looked at Brother Li Bai in front of her who was practicing 'Niangniang Swordsmanship' on the grass that was trampled on with that pitiful look, hoping that Li Bai could give her more hints.

“！！”

Call~!

"I said, Sister Qingmei, didn't you just teach you to recite it several times last night? I also reviewed it just now, why did you forget it all after a while?! ”

Li Bai didn't understand, is it really so difficult to remember a "Thousand Character Text" with only 1,000 words? Back then, when they were in school, they memorized and dictated texts...... Well, it seems that the texts that their teachers asked them to memorize and dictate in the past are really not as long and obscure as the "Thousand Words"?

But it doesn't matter, their situation at the beginning is different from the current situation, now he is a teacher, that little Nizi is a student, he is whatever he says, and if she is asked to memorize and write a thousand words, she must honestly recite and write it down.

"Can you blame me?"

"At that time, when you spoke, it made people's ears itch, where do you remember it so clearly?"

When she thought about it, Lin Qingmei couldn't help but be a little angry.

After all, when reciting at night, in order not to disturb her father, Li Bai just recited softly in her ear in her quilt and she also read along, and then the more she listened, the more sleepy she became, and the more she listened, the more sleepy she became...... So that I don't know when I fall asleep, where will I remember it so clearly?

"Okay."

"The next sentence is 'Jin Sheng Lishui, Jade out of Kungang'."

Shaking his head, Li Bai, who had just completed a style of swordsmanship, was reminiscing and feeling, and he didn't intend to argue with the other party about that kind of trivial matter, so he continued to give hints.

“！！”

"Ahh People also remembered it, this is it! ”

After listening, the little girl who was babbling continued to lift the small bamboo pole in her hand and used it as a brush to 'rustle' in the flat sand pit.

“……”

It's weird to think about!

"Tsk!!"

Finally, shaking his head, Li Bai, who had already finished a set of exercises, was not ready to continue practicing forcibly after feeling warm all over his body, so after thinking about it, he turned to the other party's side, ready to teach him well.

"The ......"

"But Brother Li Bai, what do they mean?"

“……”

This means that when the clouds rise and the clouds are cold, they form rain, and when the dew is cold at night, they condense into frost. Gold is abundant in a river called the Jinsha River, but most of the jade is found in the hills of the Kunlun Mountains in the northwest. ”

"That's amazing!"

"But, Brother Li Bai, do you want to write down this paraphrase?"

"Hmm......"

"You can write what you want!"

"Okay!"

"But...... A lot of words that people don't know! ”

“……”

"Come on, I'll teach you how to write it."

There was no way, Li Bai had no choice but to sigh, and then walked over again, directly holding the back of the other party's hand and preparing to teach the other party to write down the paraphrase just now, and correct some incorrect writing habits of the other party by the way.

"Sister Mei'er, ...... you say"

"There are so many immortals and demons in this world, and that mountain is so high and dangerous, will it be dangerous for Uncle Li and them to climb the mountain?"

"If something terrible comes out......"

Li Bai didn't dare to say any more, as soon as he thought that there might be those evil demons in the deep mountains and old forests, or the thousand-year-old zombies in Uncle Ying's movies on TV before, he couldn't help but feel a chill rushing to his head from behind.

Perhaps, this is the reason why he refused Uncle Lin's invitation before, insisted on staying in the village, and said that he was unwilling to go up the mountain and climb the mountain, right? Li Bai, who has a serious 'persecution paranoia', has no ability to protect himself, and he is seriously insecure, so he doesn't dare to leave the village casually to wander in the deep mountains and forests.

Of course, this is to put it bluntly, in fact, it is cowardice!

Because he is very self-aware, he knows that he is now of a low level, has no skills, no equipment, and does not even have the most basic iron sword, and he can't even beat a little girl who is not a 'wild monster', so he definitely doesn't dare to wander around in the 'wild area' in this kind of world of gods and ghosts.

"Huh?"

The little girl couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she heard Li Bai's words, and the 'pen' in her hand couldn't help but stop, so she let her brother Li Bai hold her hand and continue to write down one stroke at a time.

"Not really!"

"Brother Li Bai, that kind of powerful boar or leopard in the mountains, those things may be there, and there are quite a few! But...... If there are demons and monsters, there will be no such thing! ”

In this regard, Lin Qingmei said very firmly.

Then when she came back to her senses, she realized that the paraphrase that Li Bai had taught her just now had been written, and she didn't pay attention to how the last few words were written.

"Won't there be?"

"And why?"

Li Bai was puzzled, and after letting go of the other party's hand, he stood two steps to the side and asked with some surprise.

"It's easy!"

"That's because there is a mountain god in the mountain in our Changgan, as long as the mountain god is there, other demons and monsters don't dare to come here to make trouble."

Speaking of this, Lin Qingmei suddenly stopped.

Then she couldn't help but raise her head, just squatting beside the sand pit, looking at the mountain in the distance with those big eyes that were a little ignorant, and she didn't know if she was worried about her father or thinking about something else, and a look called 'fear' flashed in her eyes.

“？？”

"Sister Mei'er, what's wrong with you?"

"Ahh

"No, nothing ......"

"Really?"

"Of course it's true!"

"Mei'er, I'm your brother Li Bai, what can you tell me."

"Not really!"

“……”

"That's it! Brother Li Bai, hurry up, how do you read the rest of the sentences? People must finish writing that thousand-word essay to you today! ”

"Okay then, you listen, I read, you write......"

"Uh-huh~ ♡ you read it!"

There was no way, seeing that the other party seemed to have something on his mind that he didn't want to mention, Li Bai, who didn't plan to get to the bottom of it, nodded indifferently, didn't continue to ask, but began to tutor the other party in reading and writing with his heart.

“……”

"Jin Sheng Lishui, jade out of Kungang. The sword number is huge, and the pearl is called luminous. Fruit Zhen Li Ji, vegetable heavy mustard ginger ......"

In this way, while watching the other party write on the side, Li Bai read it slowly.

Now he is still a child, and it is foreseeable that he will definitely stay in this mountain village for a long, long time in the future, so before he grows up enough to have the ability (courage) to leave here, to do some small things as much as possible and teach the little Lori of the Tang Dynasty in front of him is one of his few jobs every day.

Otherwise, this boring life every day, this kind of day without a mobile phone to play (there is a mobile phone but it has long been out of battery), no Internet to access, no TV to watch, no food to eat, and even no other entertainment activities to do, will have to drive him crazy!
