Chapter 11: Temporary Tranquility
I had a vague idea of what he was trying to say, but I couldn't believe it. To be honest, as I grew older and had a more mature mind, I tacitly assumed that my father and mother would leave after they conceived me, so I didn't mention it to my mother, and I had formed a tacit understanding. I thought about it for a while and asked Ma Daoren, "Does the kind of qi you said have any effect on me?" ”
"I don't know, it's just that you're a little less angry than ordinary people, and that may be one of the effects. So you should be more likely than normal people to encounter the so-called 'abnormal things', but you don't have to worry, just like when I first started my practice, it's good to get used to some things. To put it mildly, it's even a gift. ”
I didn't know what to say, and after a short while, Ma Daoren continued: "My junior brother should have already given you the book, right?" ”
I replied yes, he smiled and said: "Although we haven't been in the same door for a few years, but each other's hearts are very similar, it is estimated that the master took a fancy to him before accepting him, we can often think of one place, if it is me, the book will also be given to you." When the master died, I was already familiar with the Chinese characters, so I gave the book to my junior brother and let him continue to practice. Now that you have a book, the master said that the book is the original source of his life's skills, and if you practice it well, you will naturally have some vision and ability. ”
I nodded, and Ma Daoren continued: "By the way, my junior brother just gave you the book, and didn't teach you anything else, right?" I shook my head.
He smiled and continued: "This is very good, then you can be regarded as a junior brother in my family, and you can call me and Lao Liu senior brother in the future." If he becomes your master, you will call me a master haha. ”
I also laughed, I didn't expect their rules to be so good, so I replied: "Senior brother." He smiled and agreed.
Then I chatted with Ma Daoren about some of the things I remembered in the book, and Ma Daoren explained a lot of knowledge to me in detail. I couldn't have believed this before, but after all, what I've seen and heard these days is something I couldn't have made up before, and I'm still a little fascinated by what I've heard.
Unconsciously, after several hours, Mr. Shen and the others also came back, and this time they came with a chariot of the officials, came in and thanked the Ma Dao people for their help in the past few days, and beckoned me to get in the car and go back.
I said to Ma Daoren, "Senior brother, goodbye." He smiled and waved.
I followed Mr. Shen into the carriage, and this time the carriage of the official took the five of us back to the village. I asked Mr. Shen what was going on, and he said, "This time, I explained to the officials the difficulties of going back by ourselves last time, and they also understood that it was not easy for us, so they sent a car to send us. ”
I asked him again what happened to the ruffian over there, and he said, "It's nothing, now that he is saying that he died suddenly, and the people in the village have testified to us, he almost stabbed me in the stomach with a knife, even if it is related, we are also legitimate defense, so naturally it is none of our business." ”
There is only one official who drives the carriage, so there is another companion, sitting in our carriage, he is a young man, curiously asking us all kinds of things about Jinshi along the way, he seems very interested, and Mr. Shen also gave him an answer with high spirits, but there is a lot of braggart and foolery in the words. In the happy part of the sermon, Mr. Shen also invited them to go to the construction site in the afternoon. I thought to myself, this guy must be looking good.
It was already past lunch time when we returned to the station, and Mr. Shen beckoned the cooking aunt to heat up the meal, invited the two officials to have a light meal together, and then asked me to inform everyone to continue to work normally in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, I followed the big waist to the construction site first, and then Mr. Shen really came to the construction site in a carriage from the yamen, and then took the two officials to jump up and down between the exploration parties, talking about the ruins and strata, as if giving us a lesson, the two officials also listened very attentively, and they were very reluctant to leave each other, and left each other's contact information.
When he sent the servant over, I joked with him: "Are you trying to encourage people to change their careers?" ”
He said: "You know a fart, you learn a little in the future, where to get the fields and stones, and to have a good relationship with the local officials is a guarantee of safety." There are no ruffians, there are hooligans; There are no hooligans, there are tomb robbers. Only they can keep us safe. ”
After getting off work, we talked and laughed all the way back to the station. In the evening, Mr. Shen specially asked the aunt to prepare several more dishes, which were very hearty, like a festival. After eating, Mr. Shen asked me to go to his dormitory.
When he entered, he sat on the chair I made, sat down on the bed himself, sighed, and said to me, "Thank you." ”
I'm not really surprised.
Teacher Shen continued: "Thanks to you running around these days, otherwise I am afraid that this time I will be more than lucky." I was supposed to take care of you when I took you out for an internship, but I didn't expect to be taken care of by you in the end. I'll go back and say thank you to them for me. ”
I smiled and said, "Okay, no problem." ”
Teacher Shen continued: "I shouldn't have said this, but you have experienced these things, and there are some things that you may not believe in, but they do exist like this. He paused, "You, since they think there is such an opportunity, do what you have to do, and I will definitely support you no matter what." With that, he smiled at me again.
I know that Mr. Shen, as a field worker for many years, must have insight. But now that things have come to this, that's all he can say to me. To be honest, the events of the past half a month have really changed my concept a lot.
I said to Mr. Shen, "Don't worry, I know what you mean. ”
Teacher Shen nodded, "Okay, let's rest early, I have to get up early tomorrow." ”
After returning to the dormitory, I told the big guys about the past two days, and they all thought it was incredible.
yes, I wouldn't have believed these things before.
After that, I lay back on the bed, and while thinking about what the Madao people had taught me today, I compared what was written in the book, and slowly fell asleep.
Fortunately, since then, it has been relatively peaceful, day by day, everyone on the construction site has settled, and the gold and stone work has entered the finishing stage.
The so-called tidying is nothing more than drawing, washing pottery, tidying up small pieces and other trivial chores, although there is no physical work during the day, but high-intensity mental work will still make people very tired. I used to be able to read books when I came back in the evening, and after I started tidying up, I just wanted to sleep during my daily break.
However, after a period of hard work, I have read the content of the book two or three times, and I have imitated the rune paper drawn in the book, but I don't have a chance to try it to be useful, because they are all rune papers that suppress evil spirits. Although the various theories mentioned in the book are difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood from the current perspective, it seems that the growth and reproduction of all things in nature can indeed be explained by the "qi theory" in the book.
According to the requirements of the school, Mr. Shen asked us to wash the relics first, and after washing and drying, they were arranged according to the typology, and then they were drawn one by one to record the change process of the pottery here. The so-called relic unit, for example, is like a garbage pit that the ancients specially threw garbage is a relic unit, as well as tombs, wells, etc.
Because the thin bamboo pole didn't want this craft in the first place, it was transferred by the school back then, so he has not been very happy to do these jobs. The typology itself was a very annoying job, and he began to complain: "Hey, what's the use of platooning?" ”
I laughed and didn't say anything, I knew the kid was going to start whining again. The gang mule man was honest, he didn't know what was going on, and he actually explained the meaning to him. After listening to the two sentences, the thin bamboo pole interrupted him: "You have to got, you said it so carefully as if you were memorizing a textbook, I've heard enough in class, Sensei said." "Just the mule won't talk about it.
After a while, the thin bamboo pole began again: "Who did you say was the first to invent this typology, and make such a thing out to toss people." ”
I said, "Don't you forget, didn't you talk about it in class, and someone came to bring it up before?" "To be honest, I forgot these names after the exam, so why do you remember people's names when you have nothing to do?
"Hey, you still talk about me, you kid can't remember." The thin bamboo pole is very happy.
The gang mule on the side interjected again, reciting the textbook with us.
I and the thin bamboo pole looked at this cute and honest school bully with a helpless face, and we didn't know what to say.
After doing it for a while, the thin bamboo pole said, "Although this typological theory is very good, it must be right, you see." As he spoke, he lined up a few beans from his own ruins, which were shaped like old oil lamps, and the length of the bean stalks changed significantly, so it was easy to distinguish between morning and evening, and he continued, "I know, that's how the class says, right?"
I said, "Yes, you didn't go to school in vain." ”
He immediately said: "I don't mean that, you see, although the bean stalk is from long to short, the shorter the time, the later, but you think, if you and my two factories make this thing, I see that your family is long, my family will deliberately make a little shorter, so that customers have a comparison when buying, even if the length is customized according to the customer's different hobbies, although the beans we make are the same era, but the same is long and short." ”
I was actually asked by this question, the reason is this reason, and because of regional reasons, the material is basically the same sand gray pottery, let go of other details, he actually said some truth.
