Chapter 1 Bamboo Forest on the Slope
The bamboo forest is surging, the water is murmuring, and at the end of the stone road, a row of bamboo houses are lined up one after another.
The sound of reading is leisurely and swinging, the birds, beasts and insects are slightly echoing, the sound of reading gradually subsides, the middle door of the bamboo house is opened, and a group of students in cardigans pour into the bamboo forest.
Shen Yushan packed up the bookbox, sorted the notebooks, inkstone brushes, pen annotations, etc., sent by the classmates, and sorted them one by one, and the students all returned home.
Suddenly, a pair of white cloth shoes appeared on the ground in front of me, although the shoes were old, but the slurry was very clean.
Shen Yushan raised his eyes, the person opposite him was dressed in coarse linen, and he bowed slightly: "Sir." ”
Mr.'s surname is Qiao, and his single name is a Confucian character.
Qiao Ru nodded and said, "Five or six days after tomorrow, you don't have to come to class, you can accompany your new wife more." ”
Shen Yushan's face flushed, among the students in the hall, he was the one who was most impatient to marry and marry, and he sometimes felt embarrassed, but this was a family affair made by the late grandfather before his death, and the weak-crowned young man had to marry early.
"Mr. Xie." Shen Yushan lowered his eyebrows.
Qiao Ru said: "Among the students over the years, you are the most attentive to study, and some of the others are already excited and restless for tomorrow's Gu Immortal Sword Sect's recruitment; As for you, you are going to get married tomorrow, and you are still sitting in peace and studying your knowledge. Mr. hopes that you will remember this original intention, and don't want to have a good wife and a good family from now on, lingering and compassionate, and mistaking the heart of learning. ”
Shen Yushan's face turned red, and he nodded and said, "The student knows." ”
Mr. lectures on weekdays, and occasionally mentions the way of cultivating immortals, Shen Yushan has a little knowledge, not to mention that his grandfather was a disciple of cultivating immortals, although it is not a great cause, but after all, he can keep a town safe, and the family business is safe, so although Shen Yushan has never set foot on the path of immortals, he has a lot of understanding of cultivating immortals.
Shen Yushan knew what Mr. meant, but he was worried that he would be greedy for joy as a young man, marry a wife, and forget his studies.
As for the students' heated discussion of the Gu Immortal Sword Sect's recruitment of apprentices between classes, Mr. seemed to be disdainful, but Shen Yushan understood, because Mr. was a rare person with cultivation qualifications, but he really loved the scriptures very much, and gave up the immortal cultivation immortal life that ordinary people had been thinking about for a long time, and instead buried himself in Jinglun.
Since he was a child, he was taught earnestly by his husband, coupled with his grandfather's repeated advice before his death, Shen Yushan never thought of cultivating immortals and immortals, he still remembered the fire, and his grandfather burned his books and magic weapons to the end of his thoughts.
Therefore, the recruitment of the Gu Immortal Sword Sect has nothing to do with him, Shen Yushan secretly smiled bitterly, Mr. was worried that he would go to cultivate immortal immortality, it was really too much to worry about.
In recent days, the young man has been troubled, how to do the ignorant Zhou Gong's gift?
It is really distressing to be unable to ask people around me about such things.
……
……
Hitting the bamboo house and going out, Shen Yushan carried a heavy bookcase on his back and walked along the stone road.
The bamboo forest is quiet, the cool breeze blows, and occasionally a few bamboo leaves fall on his shoulders, Shen Yushan raised his hand, picked up a bamboo leaf from the square towel on the top of his head, picked up a bamboo leaf, gently twisted it a few times, rested it on his lips, and blew a small tune.
There are no hunters in the bamboo forest, birds and beasts are not afraid of people, hearing the bamboo leaf tune, a few black things squatting on the side of the road, curiously looking at the passing boys.
Suddenly, the wind blew strongly, and the strong wind carried the boy away from the stone road and walked into the bamboo forest.
Shen Yushan walked with the wind, and in the depths of the bamboo forest, there was a mountain grave, and a short green bamboo was placed on the tombstone. On the ground, the pile of bamboo leaves is scattered, vaguely outlining a human figure, pointing to the short bamboo on the tombstone, and the human figure is smiling.
Ordinary people, if they encounter this, they are afraid that they will be frightened and panicked, but Shen Yushan is peaceful, respectfully saluting, and then taking a short bamboo and leaving lightly.
This tomb is the tomb of Zhang Yuanwai in Qiaozhen, he was killed by the monster because he went out to sell goods, and died extremely painfully, especially the monster has some means to manipulate the soul, day and night are not at peace, it is Shen Yushan's late grandfather who rescued him, although he cannot be detached, the soul is bound to the mortal world, but at least he does not have to suffer from the monster.
Shen Yushan looked at the emerald green short bamboo in his hand, this was the wedding gift sent to him by Zhang Yuan, and after a closer look, he realized that this thing turned out to be a piccolo made of a grave rich bamboo, which was exquisite, and it was very convenient.
At the foot of the bamboo forest hillside, there is a large area of paddy fields near the river, including the entire bamboo forest on the slope, which is Mr. Qiao Ru's family business, which is also the confidence of Mr. Qiao Ru to give up his practice and study at home.
There is a wooden deck ferry by the river, a small boat with a leaf, and the captain sits on the bow of the boat, holding the bamboo pole in his arms, and looks at something with relish with his head down.
Shen Yushan got closer, it was really strange, the illiterate Cheng Cheng was holding a book and reading it.
It is very bad to disturb people's study, it just so happens that because of the matter of recruiting apprentices from the Gu Immortal Sword Sect tomorrow, Mr. deliberately left class early, and he did not need to come five or six days after tomorrow, seeing that it was still early, Shen Yushan simply sat on the ground and watched the sunset from afar.
The river is slapping stones, the fish are playing in the water, and there is the faint sound of the captain flipping the book.
This is Bridge Town, tranquil and wild.
This is Shen Yu Mountain, Buddha Yu, see the mountain.
The captain may have been watching for too long, his eyes were very sour, he raised his head and rubbed his eyes, and saw the young man sitting peacefully on the dock of the water stack, holding a scroll and reading, and suddenly understood the cause and effect, and was surprised and blamed himself:
"Oh, why is Erlang here, it's not called Xiao Lao'er, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
"It doesn't matter."
Shen Yushan smiled, raised his foot slightly, and the whole person stood at the bow of the boat, he suddenly stood on the boat alone, and the whole small boat with a small canopy shook slightly, for no other reason, he was used to sitting on the boat.
Shen Yushan sat in the boat and asked, "Why don't you start the boat yet?" ”
The captain scratched his head, his swarthy old face was stunned and could see a slight redness, he was entangled for a moment, walked over with a book, and whispered: "Erlang is going to marry the daughter of the old blacksmith's family, Miss Xinlan, tomorrow, right?" ”
"Yes, please enjoy the light, and come to the City God Temple tomorrow to drink a glass of water and wine." Shen Yushan took the bookcase off his back and carefully put it at his feet.
The captain grinned, revealing a leaky mouth with missing teeth, and said with a smile: "Then I must go, I caught two golden carp in the previous month, and specially raised them, just waiting to come to the door as a congratulatory gift to drink and eat a banquet, and make up for Erlang and the bride. ”
Shen Yushan's face turned red, and he didn't pay attention to the second half of the sentence, but just excused himself: "In the past few years that I have been studying, my grandfather has sent me back and forth rain or shine, how dare Yushan forget, the golden carp is not necessary, just let people come." ”
"Then what's the matter, you still have to get a congratulatory gift." The old man turned to take out the book in his arms, and said embarrassedly: "Erlang's family chartered my boat, and sent clothes and food during the New Year's holidays, the old man is grateful, although this thing is not good, but Erlang should need it to help solve his doubts." ”
The captain threw out the book as if he had thrown a hot potato, and hurriedly ran to support the boat, and the trumpet sounded loudly.
"Let's sail!"
Shen Yushan looked at the book in his hand strangely, puzzled? What is the solution?
The book was rough, like an inferior rubbing, but when I opened the page, I saw the two people outlined in the picture book, red stripes, fleshy, his face was red in an instant, and he understood everything.
Indeed, this thing can solve the confusion of young people.
