Gao Zerui forgot to gossip about his Lao Tzu with Xu Yu'an after school, and went to watch Shaoxing Opera with Yang Manni and a few others. Although Yang Manni is not rare, it is better not to miss it if you can play together.

Xu Yu'an also found something for his pastime. The old lady of the Chen family is fond of raising birds, and there are flocks of parrots at home, which can be said to be "singing and dancing with birds", day after day. There was a mallard parrot named Little Bean, and when he met people, he said, "Settle the account!" Accounts! "The Chen family loves it the most. Chen Zikun also doesn't like to watch dramas, so he took his classmates home to tease the birds. Several male classmates played scoundrels and whistled at the flat-haired beast together, but the flat-haired beast was angry, buried under his wings, and ignored people anymore.

Xu Yu was so happy that he was still whistling when he returned home.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yusheng sitting alone at the chess table in the atrium in a daze, and the bamboo cane was placed on the edge of the chess table.

Xu Yu'an hurriedly stopped whistling and nodded to Yusheng. Yusheng greeted as usual: "Brother An'er is good." ”

Xu Yu'an was speechless and said, "Where is Brother Huan?" ”

Yusheng said: "He studied for a few days, and said that he was a little tired, so he went to play in the backyard." ”

Xu Yu'an said "um", and suddenly couldn't find anything else to say, so he nodded and left.

Unexpectedly, Yusheng suddenly shouted: "Brother An! ”

Xu Yu'an looked back and saw Yusheng looking at him, with a red sunset reflected in his eyes. Yusheng snorted: "You ......" The sunset was a little red on his face. He finally said, "Do any of you students in school need to copy books?" ”

Xu Yu'an frowned: "Copying books? ”

Yusheng nodded: "Exactly, my words are passable, and the price is negotiable." Poverty made him embarrassed.

Xu Yu'an asked: "Is my family's salary not enough?" ”

He just asked casually, he didn't know what the salary of the servants at home was, but Yusheng was anxious to explain: "Brother An, don't think too much, Mr. Xu really treats me well, it's just ...... It's better to save more money. ”

Xu Yu'an thought that I didn't think too much, but you thought too much, but I didn't dare to ask again, so I only said: "This matter is on me, I will ask in the next few days." ”

Yusheng thanked him.

"Yusheng! Yusheng! Xu Yuhuan panted and ran over, almost stumbling on the chess table.

Xu Yu'an thought that his younger brother really pinched every time, as if he was aiming at himself in the backyard. He guessed in his heart, but in fact, Xu Yuhuan didn't have this brother in his eyes at all, so he ran to him and glanced at him, and continued to talk to Yusheng without saying hello.

"Xiao Yi, they say bad things about you!" Xu Yuhuan's face flushed.

Yusheng was very calm: "What did you say?" ”

He ...... He told people that you were a rabbit! “

Xu Yu'an asked curiously, "What is Master Rabbit?" ”

Xu Yuhuan said blankly: "I don't know, I just see that they all laugh badly!" ”

Xu Yu'an said: "You don't know what is in a hurry? But when he looked at Yusheng in a blink of an eye, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he was so remorseful that he wanted to bite his tongue off.

I saw that Yusheng's face suddenly turned pale, his lips were bloody, and he didn't speak for a while. Finally, he took a deep breath and asked, "Why is Master Rabbit scolding?" ”

But none of the two people next to him knew what "Rabbit Lord" meant, and he asked in vain.

Yusheng saw that the two of them were also at a loss, his face softened, and he shook his head and said, "Let them go." ”

Xu Yuhuan asked: "Don't you care?" ”

Yusheng was very calm: "The mouth grows on someone else, I can't control it." ”

Xu Yuhuan said hurriedly: "Then is it okay?" ”

Yusheng looked at Xu Yuhuan, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Huan, you are still young, and you still don't understand many things. If you are scolded, it may not be that you have done something wrong, as long as you know it and ignore him, that is. ”

Seeing that Xu Yuhuan was still in a hurry, he said softly, "I'll tell you a story." ”

Xu Yuhuan said happily: "Okay! "I sat down.

Xu Yu An can talk a few words to Yusheng, how can it be bad. Yusheng turned his head and asked him: "Does Brother An know the "Hundred Parables"? ”

Xu Yu'an was a little ashamed: "I don't know." ”

Yusheng said: "Then I'll talk about "Breaking the Parable with Pears". ”

"Once upon a time there was a man who was bald. When a peasant saw that he had no hair on his head, he struck him on the head with a rake, until his head was covered with blood, and the bald man did not hide. When a good Samaritan saw this, he couldn't bear it, and said, 'Why are you just standing?' Even if you don't dare to fight back, you should avoid it! Isn't it painful for you to be covered in blood like this? The bald man said, 'Ah, this man is so arrogant that when he saw that I had no hair on my head, he thought it was a stone that could be beaten with a rake!' Such a stupid person, I can't do anything about him. When the man heard this, he became angry and said: 'You are so stupid! Aren't you stupid when someone beats you, but you just stand still and make your head bleed? Guess what the bald man answered? ”

"How do you answer?"

"The bald man said, 'That is not good, this farmer is a fool, and if I get out of the way, will I not make him wise?' ”

Xu Yu'an smiled: "This bald man is really stupid, I'm afraid he will be killed like this." ”

Yusheng looked at him, shook his head, and smiled: "A bald man is very stupid, but a bald man is originally a bald man, not a stone, even if he is killed, it is not a stone." The farmer thinks that the bald man is a stone, and that he is stupid, and even if he is killed, he cannot admit that he is smart. ”

Xu Yu'an said: "But if you want to tell the farmer that he is a stupid person, why should he stand and be beaten by himself?" If I were the bald man, I would catch him, beat him back, and tell him, 'What a fool you are, you use the bald man as a stone!' ’”

Yusheng asked softly, "Suppose that farmer is a giant, you can't beat him; He is deaf again, and he can't hear it. So what to do? ”

Xu Yu'an said: "This kind of person, why bother to reason with him, I know that he is stupid, just stay away." ”

Yusheng sighed lightly: "But sometimes, you can't hide, you can only stand in place, what should you do?" ”

Xu Yu'an was stunned and said, "So miserable? That's a godsend. ”

Yusheng smiled and said, "Then I can only think in my heart: I am a bald man, not a stone." Even if the farmer is tall and strong, the wise one is bald, not the farmer. ”

Xu Yu'an only felt that what he said was very complicated, and he couldn't think of what analogy he was making for a while.

Xu Yuhuan shouted: "What are you talking about? What bald stones? I don't understand! ”

Yusheng smiled and touched his head: "It's me who didn't speak well." But if you don't understand, it's the best. ”

Xu Yuhuan was only more confused.

Xu Yu'an muttered, "It's weird. ”

But he vaguely realized that there was a layer of extreme sadness and despair. He looked at Yusheng's face vigorously, Yusheng's face was really like jade, smooth and clean, and when he lowered his eyes and smiled, it seemed to emit light, as if he didn't know the pain, was unharmed, and had no sorrow or joy.

Many years later, Xu Yu'an grew into a young man, and when he grew old again, he often remembered this scene, and almost burst into tears, and his emotion was really a prophecy. The grass snake gray line of fate began at that time.
