Waiting is the hardest part.

Because you don't know how long you have to wait, for example, the empty man who has been waiting for a beautiful woman for 30 years, and every minute and second of waiting has become more and more tormented because of fear and expectation.

And nothing more striking than waiting is a long and torturous wait, only to get a polite and absolute rejection.

Although Zhao Xiujie had used all the methods he learned from the book, Wang Anfeng was always indifferent, gently refused, and finally the sun gradually fell, the little young master was pulled by his father, and he turned around step by step and left this Daliang Village, and looked back several times when parting, causing the black bear to roar dissatisfied.

It wanted to eat some food today, but it was first stunned twice by Wang Anfeng, and then it was whipped by the young man with the beginner's spirit snake gap whipping method, fortunately the owner of the Wang Pavilion sent a pig's skeleton into the water, and under the temptation of the sweet smell of flesh and blood, the black bear who had been hungry for a day was not taboo, ate a fine light, and lazily lay in Wang Anfeng's courtyard.

The green horse on the side chewed a bite of the grass mixed with soybeans, then looked up at it, and the cold gaze finally stopped it from escaping.

Even in its ignorant heart, it even raised the illusion that this place was actually a good one, eating and drinking to its heart's content, lying on the ground and sleeping lazily.

Wang Anfeng saw that there was a green horse that restrained the black bear, so he breathed a sigh of relief, patted the horse's back to show encouragement, and said that he would add a few chickens to its forage in the coming day, and sent back the owner of the Wang Pavilion who had left Bohe and sent the pork bones into the water, chatted for a while, and got up to say goodbye until the sky was full of stars.

The night breeze is coming, the complexity of the day is dispersed in the heart, a heart is only returned to a deeper calm and peaceful, the footsteps echo in the path, the autumn mood is bleak, the night is even more three, the sound of breathing is more and more gentle, when walking under the familiar old locust tree, the wooden door is just right to push open.

Like a fish waving a circle on the gentle surface of the lake in autumn, it does not affect the mood at this time, the lights are bright and warm, and the scholar in a blue robe leans against the door, bows his head gently, and says with a smile:

"Tea is ready, come in, Anfeng ......"

Wang Anfeng was not surprised, and said:

"Then excuse me, sir......"

The lights in the door are bright, two cups of tea, after Jiang Shouyi sat down, he just tuned the guqin, Wang Anfeng drank the tea lightly, and experienced the feeling of washing from the heart, Jiang Shou plucked the palm of his hand, the piano sound was melodious, and he asked casually:

"How's the book you borrowed from me?"

Wang Anfeng put down the teacup and replied:

"I have read to the eleventh day of the ancient rites, and the gentleman's commentary is admirable."

Jiang Shouyi chuckled and said:

"That's for the best."

During this time, the books left by Wang Anfeng's father in the family were finished by Mr. Ying early, and the village thought about it, and only Jiang Shouyi might have books here, so he could only come to visit with a piece of pork, and the latter did not refuse, and accepted his pork lightly, and handed him the "On Rites" that he was reading in his hand, and said that he would come to Japan to teach.

The moon had passed, and I drank forty cups of tea here and borrowed several books from here.

Jiang Shouyi thought about it, then looked at him and smiled: "An Feng, since you said that you have seen it, then I will test you, how about it?" ”

Wang Anfeng said respectfully:

"Sir, please."

The guqin made a high-pitched sound, Jiang Shou pressed the trembling strings with one palm, the tune rose gently, the palace sound, the tune was big and upright, such as the king came in person, the princes knelt to welcome, and there was a book in the voice of the person who asked:

"The heart of a gentleman, the sky is blue and the sun is white, don't let people know, what is the meaning of this sentence?"

Wang Anfeng replied: "A gentleman should be open-minded and worthy of heaven and earth. ”

"And what's next?"

"The talent of a gentleman, the jade Yun pearl is hidden, and it cannot be easily known."

"What's the explanation?"

The tune turned rapid, like a storm and rain, and the scholar's drink was like an arrow breaking through the air, discharging the rain waves, pointing directly at Wang Anfeng's heart, the young man's pupils contracted slightly, sweat stains appeared on his forehead, and said:

"A gentleman should be like a jade pearl, hidden in the deep mountains and seas, not easy to know."

The tune turned to the highest and sharpest, and the gap between a question and an answer became shorter and shorter, almost not like an elder's examination, but more like two swordsmen and short soldiers, swords and swords, more and more sharp and direct, until the point, the strings trembled violently and made a sharp sound, Jiang Shouyi's eyes opened slightly, and he almost scolded.

"The fetish is self-obscure, what do you understand?!"

Wang Anfeng's ears sounded a clear Hong Zhong Da Lu Zhi's voice, opened his mouth, but did not make any sound, Jiang Shou's eyebrows were calm, the tune turned slowly, and he said slowly:

"Do you understand?"

The young man bowed his head, his forehead was already covered with cold sweat, and said softly:

"Sir...... But do you blame me for acting flamboyant? ”

Jiang Shouyi shook his head and said, "You haven't been public, but sometimes your normal behavior is enough to make you a target in the eyes of others, Mu Xiu Yulin, before you grow up, this is enough to kill." ”

"What's more, the eagle stands like sleep, and the tiger walks like a disease, which is the real means of capturing people and devouring blood, and the gentleman must be smart and talented, so as to have the power to turn the tide and the power of the saw."

"You should learn from the gods and be self-conscious."

Wang Anfeng was silent, thinking about what Jiang Shouyi said in his heart, and at this time, the scholar had already gently put the guqin in his hand on the table and pushed him, the young man was slightly stunned, so he saw Jiang Shouyi chuckle and said:

"Why don't you learn from me?"

"Learn the piano?"

Jiang Shou bowed his head and said, "Yes, although you can't lose your mind with playthings, but you can also use the environment to adjust your heart, and you can also disperse the sharp energy around you, how about it?" ”

Wang Anfeng was silent for a moment, got up and saluted, and said:

"Then please ask the gentleman for advice."

"Very good."

Wang Anfeng stayed here for about half an hour before he said goodbye and left, and after he left, Jiang Shouyi's wife slowly walked into the study and said:

"Why do you ...... So attentive to him? ”

Jiang Shouyi took a sip of tea and said calmly: "After all, he is the eldest brother of Tianhong, let me talk about it...... In less than two months, I could only lead him to the beginning, show him the way, and teach him the principles of self-obscurity. ”

"He may not really realize that if today's events happen a few more times, he is afraid that he will not be able to live in this Daliang Village anymore, and it was because he was too sharp back then, stinging those people's eyes, that he failed and died young......

The last four words fell, the guqin on the table shook violently, and its tone was solemn and cold, and the room fell into the cold winter almost instantly, and a layer of heavy hoarfrost spread silently on the teacup in the cup, until after a few breaths, the scholar who was usually good at nourishing qi regained his calm and said softly.

"I took a step back back then, and this time I can't let another person lose because of this."
