Su Linfei ate breakfast and planned to go out, but he didn't prepare the childish kite's share at all, the little girl got up very late every day, and most of the time when she got up, it was already close to lunch, so there was no need for that.

Taking the three books from the square table in the house, Su Lin flew out of the door, planning to return the books first, this landscape and miscellaneous collection are borrowed from the town's library, Mr. Teach's surname is Luo, he is an elegant and easy-going outsider, and he has been in this town for twenty or thirty years.

The school is located in the easternmost part of Daoxiang Town, and the town is just east of the town, and you can directly reach the foot of Liangjian Mountain along the trail.

It's still early, and most of the houses in the town haven't opened their doors yet, either waking up yet, or preparing breakfast.

As soon as he got out of Yangqiao Lane, Su Linfei saw a lot of people, the number of outsiders mentioned before, the number is not small, but it is not much, there are about a dozen people along the way, looking at just wandering around the town, looking around, looking cautious and subtle, as if he was looking for something, and like a thief who is stepping on the point, along the way, Su Linfei did not squint, pretending not to see each other, those people were also when he did not exist, until he was shouted.

"Young man, young man, eh, that young man, call you!"

"It's you, don't go, young man with three books. ”

Su Linfei sighed and stopped, turned around and said helplessly: "Dao Elder told me something?"

There is a fortune-telling stall under the wall at the back, the stall owner is a young Taoist priest, who should also be one of the strangers, but he looks really down, the gray Taoist robe he wears is very shabby, and there is a big hole, and there is only a bamboo hairpin pinned to his head, at this time this person smiled and beckoned to him, signaling him to pass.

The smiling face of that person looked a little underwhelming for some reason, Su Linfei was cautious in his heart, but he didn't hesitate.

When I walked to the broken hexagram stall, I found that the fortune teller didn't look good, but his tone was very great, and there was a cloth banner on both sides of the stall, which was a couplet.

Shanglian: "Batch yin and yang to turn into five elements, the sun and moon in the palm of your hand"

The next link: "Count the reincarnation to know the destiny of heaven, and be good at raising the universe in the sleeve"

"The Taoist is really a god and a man. Su Linfei looked at the couplet and sighed sincerely, he was so miserable, he could still blow it like this, are all fortune tellers in the world like this?

Su Linfei remembered that there was a deceased Yu Banxian in the town, and he gave Li Wuwu a hexagram back then, saying that this son could protect the Li family for three hundred years of wealth, so the town elder put on an extremely grand full moon wine, as for later... Li Wuwu was half paralyzed, if it weren't for the fact that Yu Banxian had already died first, I was afraid that he would be killed by Old Man Li.

"The young man can be taught!" The young Taoist laughed when he heard this, and asked with a glint in his eyes: How is the young man, do you want to count a hexagram?

Su Linfei squatted down with a curious expression: "How to calculate?"

"One silver coin in the heavenly hexagram, ten copper plates in the earth hexagram, and five copper plates on the sign, as for the signing, it is bad luck not to mention it. The young Taoist introduced.

"Dare to ask Dao Chang, what is the difference between these hexagrams and exquisite?" Su Linfei was puzzled when he heard it, he heard for the first time that fortune telling was to collect money with hexagrams.

"The higher the price, the better your mood will naturally sound, don't be in a hurry to doubt it first. The young Taoist explained: "Do you know what kind of ability the saints of the three sects and the hundred schools of thought are? Those are all words and words, and their mouths contain heavenly constitutions! If they tell the divination, as long as they say it, it will affect the fortune of mortals, and often the false will become true." ”

Su Linfei was shocked when he heard this, the so-called saint he had also seen a description of the landscape in a few words, how high the day is, how high the saint's cultivation is, moving mountains and reclamation of the sea?

"Could it be that the Dao Dao is as high as those saints?" Su Linfei exclaimed.

The young Taoist laughed, and said, "That's not true, it's still important to be sincere and spiritual." ”

"......" Su Linfei looked at the other party speechlessly, trying to find some traces of wandering masters from this young Taoist priest, but after looking at it for a long time, he could only see that this Taoist was about to come out of his body unreliable.

Su Linfei looked helpless and said: "Dao Chief, as the saying goes, when doing business, you pay attention to your love and my wishes, what is the matter with you holding me and not letting go?"

The young Taoist priest was really quick-eyed, and when he saw that Su Linfei wanted to leave, he grabbed Su Linfei's arm, and said with a smile: "Young man, don't say that, you see that I went out early in the morning, and I don't even have a person, so you can take care of the poor business, so let's do it, I don't think you are a rich family, just sign a lot, as long as three copper plates, a bowl of wonton money, so that the poor road can have breakfast." ”

Su Linfei stared at the eyes of the young Taoist, the other party's demeanor was calm, the hand did not move at all, seeing that he had no intention of letting go, Su Linfei sighed, took out three copper plates and gave them to the Taoist: "Then ask the Taoist to count a hexagram." ”

The young Taoist inquired about Su Linfei's name, and then took the three copper plates given by Su Linfei, dipped them into a broken bowl filled with half a bowl of water, and after dipping them in the water, he threw them upward, and the copper plate fell on a piece of white paper.

It's another method of divination that I've never heard of, Su Linfei originally thought that this person would take out two kings and eight shells to throw it.

After a while, the young Taoist seemed to have calculated the result, but his face was full of panic, and he couldn't stop muttering to himself: "It's over, it's over, how can you measure a short life, and sure enough, you can't do anything about discounts, this person won't make a mess when he hears it, right?"

"....... Daoist, I heard it all. ”

"Uh......" The young Taoist looked embarrassed, and looked at Su Linfei cautiously, as if he was afraid that this young man would make a mess of him.

"Is it just like that?" Su Linfei was still a little disappointed after holding up the hexagram, and he was still unlucky after spending the money, this fortune teller was really unreliable, so he stood up and said, "Since this is the case, I will take my leave." ”

"......" The young Taoist seemed a little surprised, and the young man in this small town didn't even open his stall.

"Didn't the Taoist chief say it, sincerity is spirit, in that case, I still believe you are a ghost. Su Linfei said, just thinking about whether to return one or two copper plates, the man seemed to see his thoughts, and the three copper plates were quickly put away and covered very tightly, for fear that Su Linfei would move that hand.

----

Although the Daoxiang Town School is not big, the history is quite long, from his grandfather's generation, there was this school when it was still Daoxiang Village, and it may be traced back to the time when the village was built.

Mr. Shushu has also changed many appointments, there is an alternation of Mr. Shushu in the cold and summer, father to son, there are also teachers and apprentices, this Mr. Shushu is not a money-making beauty, so the length of each gentleman's tenure is different, the long can have forty or fifty years, but the short one is only one or two years, after all, all aspiring readers will not be willing to teach in a dilapidated place, what is the difference between that and wasting time, although it is just a small town teacher with little interest, but most of the townspeople have given a certain respect to Mr. Shushu, teaching and educating people, teaching and solving doubts, and this is the case in the world。

The current director of the school is called Luo Jingqiu, and it is said that he came to this town more than 20 years ago and took over the school, which had been vacant for more than 30 years.

The vacant 30 years happened to be the time when Daoxiang Village became rich, and the reason for the vacancy was, according to the villagers at that time: Reading is a hammer, do you think Lao Tzu is poor in money? This adult's attitude is already like this, not to mention those children who don't like to read, one by one gave up their textbooks, copied the birdcage and became a rich young master, the school has no students, and the original gentleman is naturally unemployed.

When I came to the school, the door had not yet opened, Su Linfei was not in a hurry, just stood at the door and waited quietly, that Mr. Luo Jingqiu's routine was extremely regular, to say that the sunrise and sunset are still different in winter and summer, but Mr. Luo opened the door every day The time is the same as the four seasons, there is no accident.

Su Linfei waited for five or six minutes, and the school opened the door on time, and the door was opened by a middle-aged man in an old gray Confucian shirt, looking about forty years old, with an ordinary appearance, and no kind of Confucian scholar unique, a thousand miles of fast temperament, looking mediocre, as the people in the town said, this is a frustrated scholar who failed the imperial examination when he was young and came here to teach and educate people in frustration.

"Sir, I'm here to return the book. Su Linfei presented three books in both hands and said respectfully.

Luo Jingqiu saw that it was Su Linfei, smiled a little, and nodded: "Come in." ”

Su Linfei snorted, and entered the school, it didn't look big on the outside, and it was even smaller when it entered the inside, the largest one was the school house, with a few tables and benches, and classes were held here on weekdays, and if you squeezed it, you could sit down thirty-four children, but now in fact, there are less than twenty schoolchildren in the school, and these tables and chairs are more than enough.

There are two rooms left, the slightly larger one is Mr. Luo's living room, and the other is the destination of Su Linfei's trip, the study room of the study school, walking into the study, the area is not much larger than his kitchen, and there are only two wooden cabinet books in it, about one or two hundred, take out one at random from the inside, the age of the books is much older than Su Linfei, not only Mr. Luo's collection, most of them are handed down by Mr. Ren, they are just some big road goods, and ordinary books are no different.

The different positions of the wooden cabinet are marked with categories, the most is Confucianism, and the others are landscape chronicles, essays, etc., with a wide variety.

For Su Linfei, the most interesting book is the landscape chronicles, which records the real existence of this world, or the true appearance of this world, a bizarre and strange world, arousing Su Linfei's endless yearning for the outside world, if his sister comes back, he wants his sister to take him out of this town, if the young kite still wants to follow him, he will bring it with him, to see what the charm beast under the moon that swallows the moonlight has style, and what kind of spirit is the Han Fire wolf horse that travels thousands of miles a day!

Compared with the books that Su Linfei reads, the childish kite reads more miscellaneous, not picky or picky, often Su Linfei borrows any books, she reads what, those Confucian classics that Su Linfei is difficult to understand can also read with relish, which is probably the reason why the little girl can often gain the upper hand when she quarrels with him.

After putting the three different kinds of books back to their original positions one by one, Su Linfei found that several books were misplaced and sorted them out one by one.

"Aren't you borrowing books this time?"

Su Linfei walked out of the study and found that Mr. Luo was standing in the courtyard, with a wooden shed on a bench, holding a towel in his hand, and he was washing.

Su Linfei nodded: "I won't borrow it this time, it's the New Year, and I'm going to be busy in the next few days, so I don't have time to read." ”

Mr. Luo didn't say much about this, just nodded, he knew it, which also meant that Su Linfei could go.

Su Linfei didn't leave directly, and asked, "Mr. doesn't teach some truth this time?"

In the past, when Su Linfei borrowed a book to return the book, Mr. Luo would ask him some insights on the article, and would explain some scriptures that he didn't understand.

Luo Jingqiu put down the towel and looked at this energetic young man in a small town, although he had never really taught, but he was indeed half of his student over the years, and smiled: "The truth is in the book, you can read it slowly by yourself, but the truth of being a person is outside the book, and you have done a good job, you don't need to think too much when you should rest." ”

"Is this a new truth?" Su Linfei's eyes were clear.

Luo Jingqiu didn't answer, smiled, Su Linfei laughed happily, and made a respectful gesture, which made Luo Jingqiu a little surprised, and wanted to avoid it sideways, but it was too late and accepted this student salute.

For Mr. Luo, Su Linfei has always respected him, I remember when I was a child, his family was poor, and he never went to the school, and when he was curious, he would run behind the school, and eavesdropped on Mr. Luo's teaching outside the window of the school, and Mr. Luo would not drive him away if he found out, but when he didn't exist.

Mr. lectured and taught words inside, Su Linfei used branches to learn to write on the ground outside like a decent, it can be said that reading and literacy was a beginning in Mr. Luo's book, most of them were taught by her sister later, and some of them were learned by asking the young kite later.

"Mr. Naluo, I'll go back, and I'll come to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year. ”

Luo Jingqiu waved his hand lightly, stood at the door and watched the young man's back, wanting to speak again and again, until the young man's back disappeared, he still didn't speak, he shook his head, sighed, and disturbed himself.

------

After leaving the school, Su Linfei planned to go to the market, after all, he couldn't eat a radish feast every day, if he had to eat it until he lost hope in life, and he had to pass by the fortune-telling stall of the Taoist on the way.

From afar, I saw the young Taoist, and a young man squatting in front of the stall, as if listening to the Taoist interpreting the hexagram, after a while, the young man was furious, stood up and looked at the Taoist condescendingly, the momentum was violent, and it looked like he was going to open the stall and beat people.

It's just that the young Taoist is not a mortal in the end, he coped with it, but he touched the four threads with one hand and pulled hard, the four corners of the cloth under the entire stall contracted, and finally became a package, and the other hand grabbed the two sides of the United Nations flag, and ran away directly, the action was skillful, the speed was extremely fast, and the young man who saw it was also stunned, and scolded the back of the Taoist who ran away: "Don't let Lao Tzu see you again, otherwise I will see you and beat you once!"

The young man was from a small town, Su Linfei naturally knew him, and after approaching, he asked curiously, "What's wrong with the land?"

The young man who was called the land turned his head when he heard the voice, raised his eyebrows, and looked dissatisfied: "I've told you many times, my name is Lin Lu, not Lin Land!"

"Well, land. Su Linfei shrugged his shoulders and continued: "That person also told you fortunes?" Su Linfei was a little curious, what kind of hexagram could be calculated so that this guy with a good temper could have the urge to hit someone.

"What a fucking bad luck. Lin Lu thought of the fortune teller again, and he was angry in his heart, and scolded and said: "That fortune teller who hit the street actually said that my future in this life is difficult, and I am a family ruin, do you listen to this is a human language? Don't let me meet that person again, bah bah!" Finally, Lin Lu clasped his hands together and said something in his mouth: "Unlucky and unlucky, don't take it seriously." ”

After doing this, Lin Lu calmed down, thought of something, looked at Su Linfei and said curiously: "Listen to you, you also calculated the hexagram for him?"

Su Linfei nodded: "Well, he said that my life will not be long." ”

Lin Lu glanced at Su Linfei up and down again, and asked, "You didn't lift that guy's mess?"

Su Linfei smiled and shook his head.

Lin Lu gave a thumbs up: "That temper is really good." ”

"It's a very early start for the New Year. Su Linfei asked again, he has played with this guy since he was a child, and the relationship between the two is quite good, so he knows him very well, this guy is not like a person who can get up early in the morning and tell his fortune by the way.

"Don't mention it. Lin Lu looked listless: "There are a few outsiders living in the inn at home, and they are not used to eating breakfast at the inn, so let me go to the Qingji bun shop on the other side of Langguan Lane to buy them some breakfast." ”

"There must be a lot of tips. Su Linfei glanced at Lin Lu's bulging pocket, and said.

Lin Lu smiled: "Don't say it, these outsiders are good-looking, not to mention, they are really generous, and the tips they give are more than the accommodation fee, by the way, you will have dinner at night." Lin Lu patted his waist bag as he spoke, and said with a generous attitude: "Don't worry, I'll bring my own ingredients, just let the young kite make me a delicious meal." ”

"I don't care, you can come then. Su Linfei nodded, anyway, it's not the first time this person has eaten at his house, but the things he ate for a living before were very simple, so Su Linfei couldn't understand this guy, obviously his own family was a solid family who opened an inn, but he had a soft spot for Su Linfei's family's ugly food, probably this is the so-called drunkard's intention not to drink.

"Then I'll come over in the evening, and by the way, I'll call Ah Shui, eh, I won't tell you, I have to buy buns first, and those outsiders will ask for my tip back if I go back late, so I can't pay it." After Lin Lu finished speaking, he hurriedly ran towards Langguan Lane.

Su Linfei looked at his back, Dele, and saved himself the effort of buying vegetables.
