The birds flew high, and the lonely clouds went alone.

It is very rare that Li Bai did not go to practice swords today, nor did he use his 'Niangniang swordsmanship' to fight with Lin Qingmei's naturally powerful and unreasonable girl, but with the other party, he dug a small pit next to the secret lawn where he practiced swords, and then embedded a circle of short wooden stakes around the pit, and went back and forth to the river several times before he got several loads of fine river sand, and finally made a small sand pit.

Of course, the reason why Li Bai did this was not to play with sand, nor to build castles to coax girls to play, but for a very important purpose, that is, to practice calligraphy!

That's right, it's to practice calligraphy!

This is also something that can't be helped, after all, he is penniless now, and Uncle Lin's family is not the kind of person who can afford to support a scholar to study, so he thought of such a tricky and extremely cost-effective method commonly used by poor students to practice calligraphy.

In fact, sand or something can also be written directly on the glass 'sand book', but unfortunately, Li Bai can't get the glass or something for the time being, he can't think of the kind of extremely valuable things for this era, so he has to use such a sand pit to practice, and this is really convenient, after writing a sand table of words, you only need to use a wooden board to gently pull it.

“……”

So, after the completion of the work, he had just been used by him to do most of the hard work, so busy that the tips of his forehead and nose were fine beads of sweat, and now he looked like his cheeks were flushed, and after his sister was staring at him with excited eyes, he suddenly felt something, so he was angry, and he used a wooden stick about the same length as a brush to write four big characters on the sand table.

"Ahh ♡

"Brother Li Bai, what are these four words, how can they be written so beautifully? Also, how do they read it? ”

Sure enough, the little girl Lin Qingmei pointed to the few gongbi Tang Kai characters on the sand table and asked in amazement, so that Li Bai finally felt a little satisfied.

For Li Bai, who has been suppressed and ravaged by the other party, it is really rare to hear the other party's heartfelt admiration for the first time.

“……”

"S! Wen! Fail! Kind! ”

After hesitating for a moment, Li Bai still honestly said what the four words he wrote were.

However, he was actually not too satisfied with these four words, after all, this body was only an eight-year-old boy, his arm strength was far from enough, and his technique was also very rusty, and he was not too accustomed to squatting on this kind of sand table to pick up leaks and bend over to write.

"Sven scum?"

"But, Brother Li Bai, what does Sven scum mean?"

The little girl who was extremely thirsty for knowledge and reading and literacy, and even did not hesitate to personally go back and forth to select sand and carry it for Li Bai, then naturally asked.

She and Li Bai agreed before, she helped him and kept the matter of practicing swords for him confidential, and he wanted to teach her to read and write, including writing, of course!

"Uh......"

"Sven scum, probably to describe those who seem to be well-read on the surface, but in fact have a bad stomach?"

Li Bai regretted it a little, he shouldn't have written such four words just now for a momentary feeling, and he also felt that it was a bit bad to teach this little girl these four words at the beginning?

"Ahh

"That's what they mean......"

"Just ......"

First nodded, then the little girl was suddenly stunned, and then after blinking, she looked at Li Bai with that slightly surprised and strange look.

"But what?"

Li Bai didn't pay much attention to it, just looked at the four words in the sand pit, and was thinking about where to start practicing calligraphy.

After all, this is the Tang Empire, even if it is a mythical world, but the basic writing must be practiced well, especially the brush characters and traditional characters, which must be put into a lot of effort, otherwise, if he uses a quill or a pen or something like that, he will have to be laughed out of his big teeth!

"Brother Li Bai'......"

"What, Sister Mei'er, what questions do you have?"

"That...... What you just said, the kind of person who is knowledgeable on the surface, but is actually full of bad water, shouldn't you be talking about people like Brother Li Bai? ”

The little girl asked cautiously with the expression and tone that timidly wanted to say but didn't dare to speak, and then finally mustered up courage.

“！！”

"That's nonsense! Where is my Li Bai broken? I, Li Bai, am a very good person! ”

Hearing the other party ask, Li Bai was so frightened that he almost fell into the sand pit!

To tell the truth, he admitted that he was very honest about this, and he was also a sincere person, but he didn't dare to agree with the "bad water in his stomach" or something.

This is a naked slander by the little girl against him, a misunderstanding when the meaning of the words is not understood thoroughly, and this must be corrected in time!

"Then Brother Li Bai, can you teach me to write these words?"

Whether Brother Li Bai is a good person or a bad person, the little girl obviously doesn't want to be in a hurry to judge, she only knows that from today onwards, she finally has the opportunity to read and write, so she only hopes to start now, let alone a moment, even if it is half a moment, she doesn't want to wait.

"Ah......h

"Of course! Come, Sister Mei'er, come, you learn from me, hold on to this branch, and use it as a brush...... Yes, exactly. ”

"This doesn't work very well with wooden sticks, let's cut two small bamboos another day......

Since the other party was willing to learn, of course Li Bai had no reason to refuse, so he directly asked the other party to come over, and held the other party's little hand, and taught him directly hand in hand.

"Brother Li Bai."

"But why do we have to hold the pen like this? It feels so twisted, it's like ...... Like holding a pair of chopsticks? ”

After Li Bai taught the correct way to hold the pen, the little girl Lin Qingmei just tried to touch it in the sand pit and quickly retracted it, and complained with a bitter smile.

"Sister Qingmei!"

"This is the most basic practice of words, learning to write brush words must first learn the correct way to hold the pen, and how to correctly hold the pen is the premise of whether the pen can be used correctly, is a very important link to be able to write well!"

"If you hold the pen well, you can use it freely when writing, and you can write like a god; And if you don't hold the pen properly, once you develop that incorrect habit, it will be very difficult to correct it in the future, and it is not conducive to writing well. ”

"In short, that's what the ancient sages said, if you want to read and write, then you have to do it!"

With a straight face, Li Bai was like a teacher, teaching this little girl who only knew how to mess around and bully him on weekdays.

"There are no brushes and no rice paper......

"But now I can have a sand table, I don't have to do so much farm work on weekdays, and it's good to have leisure to read and write."

Indeed, for his current life, Li Bai really has nothing to be picky about.

Although seriously speaking, it is indeed quite miserable if you can't afford pen, ink, paper and inkstone, but there is no good way to improve it at present, and this is still a closed mountain village, and Li Bai, who is not very willing to make too many changes so as not to attract attention, has to be so satisfied with the status quo for the time being.

"That's right......"

"Brother Li Bai, you know a lot, you must have read a lot of books, right?"

The little girl's eyes were full of that kind of worship, which made Li Bai's self-esteem a little satisfied.

"Of course!"

First kindergarten, then nine years of compulsory education, then three years of high school, then college, plus that weird fragment of memory...... He Li Bai now dares to call himself a real expert or a master of Chinese studies!

Of course, that kind of thing didn't seem to be of much use in this world, and he didn't expect it to give him everything he wanted.

"Come on!"

"In the future, I will teach you literacy while practicing words, I just taught you to hold a pen, now I will explain to you your correct pen technique!"

Since they all agreed to teach, and Li Bai still likes this white sister in some aspects, so he slowly explained it with dedication and seriousness.

Calligraphers have always had different opinions on the way to hold the pen, but in Li Bai's opinion, no matter what others think, he only recognizes the kind he used at that time, as for other people's methods, what does it matter to him? After all, calligraphy is just a five-character method of pulling, rhyming, hooking, lattice, and resisting.

Pulling, which means pressing and resisting, refers to pressing the left and back sides of the pen barrel with the first section of the thumb, and the force is from the inside to the outside.

Charge is general pressure, which means that the first section of the index finger presses the right and front side of the pen barrel, and the force is from the outside to the inside, and the thumb is opposite to the pen barrel.

Hook, is the meaning of bending, hooking, refers to the middle finger bent like a hook, with the front end of the first finger belly hooked on the outside of the pen tube, the force from the outside to the inside, the middle finger and the index finger together, against the thumb, in order to control the pen barrel more steadily.

Grid means to resist, which means that the ring finger is connected to the inner side of the pen barrel with the nail flesh, and the force pushes out from the right inner side to the left outer side.

Resist, which means to push and resist, means that the little finger is close to the ring finger without touching the barrel of the pen to enhance the thrust of the ring finger outward.

However, the above methods are useless, and they can't connect with those meticulous, because now they only have sand tables and wooden sticks, and they can only practice their hands, eyes and hearts first, as for others, they can only wait for the conditions to improve in the future, and then talk about it after they have the money to buy pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"Brother Li Bai'......"

"You know a lot, it seems that what Daddy said is not entirely right, at least your brain is not completely watered?"

When Li Bai said this, although the little girl Lin Qingmei tried very hard to remember it, she was still dizzy after all...... She had always thought that writing was to pick up the pen and draw left and right, but who would have thought that it would be so troublesome?

“！！”

You're in the water!

"Don't speak, now I'll teach you how to recognize and write these four words!"

Li Bai is not a good teacher, but since the other party is his sister, since he has to practice now, let's practice together!

So, after thinking about it, he grabbed the back of the other's hand again, and just like that, beside the sand pit dug by the two of them, the four 'Sven scum' were crookedly retraced.

"That's it!"

After teaching the other party to write with difficulty, Li Bai finally let go, no longer holding the other party's hand and half-hugging the other party's body, but stood up and exhaled as if relieved.

"It's so ugly......"

"Don't be discouraged, it'll be fine if you practice more!"

'Oh......'

"Okay, Sister Mei'er, you practice here, I'll practice here, don't talk, remember to be careful!"

Li Bai doesn't have time to urge the other party all the time, you know, his own words are not much better, so he also needs to practice more, so that he can reach the realm of the 'poet immortal' Li Bai in his memory as soon as possible?

Of course, swordsmanship too, and try to surpass each other!

Half an hour later......

Because of some cheating general memories as the foundation, when Li Bai himself had basically mastered the sand table writing of brush characters, he was stunned when he raised his eyes and found that the little girl on the side, the Qingmei sister's understanding was not low, and the other party really wrote eight or nine without leaving ten?

Although the penmanship is immature and there is a wrong pen, it is 108,000 miles worse than what he wrote, but Li Bai also has to admit that what the other party wrote is indeed a word, not a ghost drawing, at least any person who knows words can roughly recognize it when he sees it.

Therefore, he was already thinking about whether he should use another method to teach the other party to read and write better, step by step, so as to save the other party from the tragic fate of being illiterate like other children in the village in the future?

Li Bai didn't know what the Tang Empire was like in this world, but he only knew that in the Tang Empire in another world, Tang Gaozu had issued an order to open schools in all prefectures, counties and townships, which was regarded as the initial form of compulsory education? At that time, where there were almost no 100 households, there must have been a government-run school, and the results of the local school were included in the performance of local officials, so as to ensure that these local schools were taken seriously?

But it is a pity that some policies are not well implemented, and the officials and gentry are in disobedience on the one hand, and on the other hand, because in the villages of such backward times, there are no conditions for studying, because reading is not free, and it will make the poor lose an important labor force in vain!

This point, from the mountainous village where Li Bai is located, there is only the village chief in this long cadre, that is, the village is recognizing a few limited big characters, and the others are all a group of illiterate, you can see what a bad situation it is!

But Li Bai can't control that situation, and he doesn't want to care!

You know, he himself is just a child of unknown origin who was fished out of the river and had to live in Orion Lin Dalang's house for the time being.

"Brother Li Bai'......"

At this moment, the voice of the little girl on the side sounded again.

"What's wrong?"

Li Bai looked at the other party.

"People already recognize these four words, can you teach me two more words today?"

“！！”

"Absolutely! Then teach two more! ”

Nodding, Li Bai did not refuse.

In his opinion, it's a good thing that the other party is willing to take the initiative to learn, unlike in the world of 2020, those elementary school students are too lazy to look good, they know how to watch videos or play mobile games all day long, and then they don't do their homework by themselves, and they only know how many people are thrown to their parents to toss all day long, and they don't know how many people have driven them crazy.

"Hmm......"

"I'd like to think about it, which two words are easier to teach you......."

Li Bai was thinking, he felt that he should not teach the other party that kind of rare characters that were complicated or too rarely used, especially when the characters of this era were still troublesome traditional characters?

"Just Brother Li Bai's name, it's exactly two words!"

"Is that okay?"

"Huh?"

"It's good!"

Nodding, Li Bai didn't think much about it, and directly wrote two big Chinese characters on the sand table - 'Li Bai'.

“！！”

"Brother Li Bai, you write so well, so beautiful......"

After staring at Li Bai with round eyes and amazed, and let Li Bai on the side satisfy a little, the little girl Lin Qingmei used a wooden stick to twist and pinch the two big characters 'Li Bai' on the sand table.

"How?"

"Very good!"

Frowning and looking, Li Bai nodded noncommittally, not hitting the other party too much.

"Look!"

"Brother Li Bai, what they wrote is right, right?"

With Li Bai's approval, as soon as the little girl was happy, she wrote the four big words of 'Sven scum' that she had just learned in front of her.

"Ah.....h

opened his mouth and looked at the six words in that row, although Li Bai wanted to say something, but in the end he nodded stiffly and reluctantly.

"Great!"

"Brother Li Bai! People should write it for others now! From today onwards, Qingmei will be able to read and write! Qingmei is a reader! ”

After saying this, the little girl, who was anxious to show off to others, cheered, and ran happily towards the village not far from the woods, holding the stick.

"Huh!"

"It's really ......"

Li Bai shook his head, not ready to pay attention to the other party, and planned to continue to practice his own words, such as first re-painting Wang Xizhi's Lanting set sequence according to the memory?

"Uh......"

However, soon, just as he wrote 'Yonghe nine years, the age is ugly', his hand suddenly stiffened, and he raised his head a little distractedly, and subconsciously looked in the direction where Lin Qingmei's little girl had just left.

Because he remembered at this time, the six words he just taught the other party were connected - 'Sven scum Li Bai'?!

"Not good!!"

"Sister Aomei! You wait for me!! ”

Finally, Li Bai, who realized that the problem was a little serious, jumped up from the ground directly, and then ran in the direction of the village without bothering to clean up the scene.

There is no doubt that Lin Qingmei, who has just learned those six words, will definitely write them in front of others, or simply scribble everywhere on the ground and wall in the village? Although most of the people in the village are illiterate, there are still barely one or two who know how to read, such as the bad old man in the village?

And once the six words 'Sven scum Li Bai' circulate in the village, then the reputation of his poet immortal Li Bai in this life will be completely ruined in the hands of that little girl!

"Hey!"

"Sister Aomei! Wait for me!! ”
