Chapter 218: Giants
Lu Yu vaguely felt that this was not just a dream.
The water balls appeared, the fireballs appeared, and the stone rain had also fallen, and Lu Yu felt that there must be other strange and powerful things waiting for him next.
This time Lu Yu didn't guess wrong, because he heard a sudden thunderclap.
The thunder is only one after another at most, but the thunder in this place is different, first it sounded only once, but then it was one or two countless sounds, dense thunder, like countless giant drums beating at the same time, Lu Yu's face was numb, and his ears kept buzzing, as if he was about to be numb, and he was almost deaf.
In the outside world, lightning strikes first, and then thunders. Here, too, there was thunder, and then countless bolts of lightning fell from the sky. The lightning was densely covered, and the whole sky, like a fine net, fell from the sky and covered it. The thunder is deafening, the lightning is dazzling, and the thunderbolts are lacking, and the earth is shaking.
No accident, all the lightning bolts were coming towards Lu Yu. Although Lu Yu knew that he would not be injured by this thunder and lightning, he was still shocked by the endless thunder god and the overwhelming lightning. For a while, Lu Yu suddenly felt that no matter how high his cultivation was and how clever his spells were, he was afraid that he would not survive for a moment under these ten thousand thunders and lightning.
It didn't take long for the thunder and lightning to disappear, and Lu Yu's surroundings were quiet again.
Just like the stone rain just now, the thunder and lightning this time quickly disappeared. But now Lu Yu was completely shocked, he was paralyzed on the water, and his brain was confused.
Lying on the water, looking up at the empty sky, Lu Yu suddenly saw a "person".
It may not be a man, because this man is so big, it's just a mountain, even bigger than a mountain. Lu Yu was lying on the ground, and he could only see the person's knees clearly, and the knees were a little blurry further up. In the dream, the sky was clear and almost transparent, and there were no clouds, otherwise half of the giant's body would have been above the clouds.
Maybe it was because Lu Yu was too small in front of that person, and the giant didn't notice that there was an ant-like villain under his feet, so he took a step and stepped over Lu Yu. Lu Yu caught a glimpse of the soles of the giant's feet, and the soles of his feet were also stained with mud and sand, and any grain of mud and sand was several times larger than Lu Yu.
"Is there really such a big person in the world? It's terrible, isn't it? ”
After the giant stepped over, Lu Yu got up, looked at the back of the giant leaving, and suddenly couldn't say anything to himself.
At this moment, the giant suddenly disappeared, the water also disappeared, and the sky, which was originally nothing, became a roof. Lu Yu woke up and lay on the bed.
Yan Xi'an woke up Lu Yu and said to him, "Uncle, you have slept all afternoon. ”
Lu Yu was a little confused, and the situation in his dream still made him feel surprised. Lu Yu rubbed his face and said, "Xi'an, I dreamed. ”
"What are you dreaming about? Did you dream of me? ”
"Nope." After Lu Yu finished speaking, he was immediately stunned, laughed again, and said, "I dreamed of something very strange." ”
Yan Xi glanced at him and asked, "What did you dream of?" ”
"It's scary." Lu Yu remembered the incomparably huge fireballs and water balls he had seen in his dreams, the rain of stones rolling down from the sky, and the lightning and thunder that were as dense as a web, and he still felt palpitations. As for the giant he saw at the end, it made Lu Yu feel great fear and tremble and be in danger.
Lu Yu recounted what he had seen in his dream, and at the end he said: "Xi'an, I always feel that there may be a place in this world, where everything is bigger, countless times larger, and we mortals go to that place, and it is no different from ants. ”
Hearing Lu Yu talk about that bizarre dream, Yan Xi'an was also quite surprised, she said: "There will definitely not be that kind of place, besides, uncle, you are not an ordinary person." ”
Lu Yu shook his head slowly and said, "There, I am no different from ordinary people, it is too terrifying there, if the things I see are true, then it will be useless for me to practice for another hundred years." ”
"It's good that it was a dream." Yan Xi'an smiled faintly, took Lu Yu's hand and said, "Okay, you slept all afternoon, my mother cooked, go eat." ”
It was already dark outside the window, Lu Yu got up from the bed, smiled, and said, "If I sleep for so long, your parents will definitely say that I am a big lazy pig." ”
"You're a big lazy pig. How did you know my dad was coming? ”
Lu Yu pointed to his ear and said, "I heard it." ”
In the school where Yan Jibai is white, the children have come back in the past two days, and when he is teaching, he usually does not come to Lu Yu's house for dinner. Today is because there is no rice over there, Yan Jibai came to get rice, and Mrs. Yan asked him to go back after dinner, and the two of them went back together.
Since the establishment of this small primary school in Yangshan Village, Yan Jibai has never taken food from Lu Yu's family, and the parents of those students have sent it. Today, because the church has not been reopened for a short time, those people have not yet delivered food.
During the meal, Yan Jibai asked Lu Yu if it was time to plant rice in the valley in a few days. Lu Yu said that it was time to go in and plant rice the day after tomorrow.
So he said in vain that he planned to take a break for a few days and go to the valley to help together.
Lu Yu hurriedly said: "That's no need, we can be busy, and your school is also important." Lu Yu felt that for Yan Jibai, teaching was his main business now, and he didn't want him to get involved in farming or something.
Mrs. Yan also said: "You just need to teach the students well, and you don't have to worry about farming." ”
Yan Jibai smiled: "Don't you really need to help? ”
"No, no, no." Lu Yu asked again: "Those children, are they still obedient?" ”
Yan Jibai said lightly: "It's so-so." ”
Mrs. Yan said: "These children, before you came, have never been to school, and no one has taught them, and of course there is no way to compare them with those in the city. ”
"yes, so I'm going to be more patient with them." Yan Jibai sighed, thinking that it was the group of students in the village, who were not very easy to discipline.
Lu Yu went to school when he was a child, when he was studying in the next village, and he was deeply impressed by some of the students in his classmates, because those children were very naughty and extremely difficult to discipline. So Lu Yu said: "Children in the countryside are different, they want to be able to recognize a few words when they read, and they think that they will not be blind when they go out one day." As for the fame of the scientific examination, it is estimated that their family members have not thought about it, so you don't have to worry too much, uncle. ”
Yan Yubai shook his head and said slowly: "I can't say that, I am their husband, and the children will be with me for a day, and they will have to be reserved for a day." As for whether they are willing to learn, whether they are willing to learn or not, I can only try my best to persuade them to learn. ”
Lu Yu was a little "ashamed", felt a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "That's too." ”
Yan Jibai said: "I heard that a new county official is coming to the city, and I don't know who is coming this time." ”
Fang Daping told Lu Yu the news a few days ago, he naturally wouldn't be surprised, and said, "I hope you're a good official, don't be like Lin Siyao." ”
Yan Jibai shook his head and said: "Definitely not, Lin Siyao's death is a lesson from the past, as long as the new county commander is not confused, he will definitely not act like Lin Siyan and expropriate violently." ”
Lu Yu felt that Yan Jibai's words were very reasonable, and people who could be county magistrates would not be fools, when he came here, he would definitely make all kinds of inquiries, if he knew what happened to Lin Siyao, he would have some scruples in his heart. Thinking of this, Lu Yu said again: "The county government was burned down by me, I don't know if the new county government has been built." ”
Yan Xiding suddenly said: "Alas, last time you went to set fires, you didn't take me to see it." ”
Lu Yu smiled, suddenly remembered something, and asked Yan Jibai again: "In the past, in the county seat, uncle, you also had to pay taxes when you taught students, right?" ”
"You have to pay, but in the past, the tax was light, thirty taxes one." Yan Jibai said: "Later, Lin Si shook it, and the taxes to be paid by each merchant became heavy, becoming one out of ten. ”
"This guy, hehe."
Yan Xiding said: "Well, if this county order is not so bad, do we want to go home?" ”
Without waiting for the words to speak in vain, Lu Yu first smiled and said: "If you leave me here to herd the sheep, your father will definitely go back, there are many children in the city, and there are many students." ”
Lu Yu thought that Yan Jibai would go back, but Yan Jibai said: "These children in the village have not yet learned a copy of the "Three Character Classic", and they may not be able to say anything about going back for a while. ”
Lu Yu understood the meaning of the words, no matter when they would go back to the city to teach in the future, they could not say it now, otherwise they would be afraid that the children would not want to go to school.
At the beginning of April, the spring cold has passed, and the weather is already warm. After dinner, Yan Xi'an and Lan Shaofang, the three of them moved three chairs and sat side by side in the open space in the backyard.
Lu Yu stood at the door of the back door and said to the three of them: "The yard is full of melons and vines and vegetable racks, you sit inside, aren't you afraid of insects?" ”
Yan Xiding said: "There are insects, but they don't bite people." ”
Lan Shaofang said: "I have a very thick skin, and I am not afraid of insects biting me." "She has lived alone in the mountains and forests for more than ten years, so she should not be afraid of insect bites.
Lu Yu said with a smile: "Yan Xiding's skin is thick, and he is even more afraid." Lan Shaofang listened, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Yan Xiding's face. Yan Xi Dingle was broken, and laughed.
Yan Xi'an suddenly stood up and said, "How did I see something shining?" ”
Lu Yu smiled: "What is it?" It's your eyes. Yan Xi'an's eyes were indeed very bright, and in the night, the pupils of his two eyes seemed to be shining with starlight.
"No, it's a bug." Yan Xi'an approached a cucumber stand and exclaimed, "Look, there are glowing insects here. ”
"Is it a firefly?" Lu Yu leaned on the door frame, turned his eyes to Yan Xi'an's side, and sure enough, he also saw a few small glittering insects, flying around the melon rack.
Yan Xi'an and the three of them had never seen fireflies, and Lan Shaofang had never heard of them, and they were all surprised and delighted when they heard Lu Yu say that the little insect that was glowing was a firefly.
