Chapter 3 Gu Yu
The private school is not big, about half an acre in size, and it is run by the people in the village with money. Coincidentally, in the year when the private school was built, the villagers were worried: they are poor and remote, and their parents have a lot of strength, but there are not a few drops of ink in their stomachs, so they must invite their husband to come over, but where to invite them? After discussing for a long time, they decided to go to the city to invite, but those old masters in the city either thought that the price was small, or they thought that the place was far away, and even worse, they said that the villagers were uneducated, and it would seem that they were not of good grade when they were with them.
Unexpectedly, in less than half a day, someone came to apply, that is, the current gentleman of the private school, surnamed Sun, the villagers call him Mr. Sun, Mr. Sun came to teach the child, he did not collect money, just asked for a piece of land, half an acre in size, and built a small house next to the private school, surrounded by unknown beautiful flowers. For such an uninvited guest, the villagers are naturally wary. But he had no choice but to educate his juniors, so he agreed to Mr. Sun's request, and since then Mr. Sun has lived in Rongshu Village, and most of the school-age children in the village have been sent to him. Every day when Mr. Sun is teaching, there is always an adult watching at the door, and the beautiful name is called: watching and learning. Mr. Sun just smiled at this and continued his work. Gradually, Mr. Sun's personality and talent won everyone's affirmation. There was no one to supervise. Now calculated, Mr. Sun has been here for 6 years.
The sound of reading came from the private school.
"For the sake of scholars and the loss of Taoists, we must learn to grasp the essence of things, and not to get lost in the complex appearances, remember. Mr. didn't finish speaking, everyone in the hall saw that it was already a meal, one by one, he was already ready to move, he was not angry, just watched quietly, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, every time he saw Mr. This expression, everyone knew that the situation was not right, and immediately straightened up, how many standards and how many standards were needed. Otherwise, you can only eat the board when you go home. This is the gentleman's rule, and it is also acquiesced by the adults, and it has to be like this if you don't follow the rules.
"Don't be playful on the road, go back early. Tomorrow I'm going to check my homework. Dispersion. ”
After listening, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and said neatly: "Mr. has worked hard." He shuddered out, and then there was laughter in the distance. Don't be surprised,
"Chen Jing, I heard that you were beaten by Huatong a few days ago. When the gentleman asked, Chen Jing didn't hide it, and said, "Yes." ”
"It's a blessing to suffer. You haven't come to class for a few days, don't relax your homework, make up for it quickly. ”
"Yes, sir. Chen Jing replied while thinking, "What's wrong with Mr. today, it feels weird." ”
"It's nothing, I think you're similar to me before, and I'm just emotional. The gentleman said what Chen Jing was thinking, which startled him. On second thought, Mr. is very strict in class, but he is usually a good person. So he boldly asked the question he had been thinking about in the past few days.
"May I ask you, sir, what can we do in the future if we read the Bible every day. ”
"The scriptures and articles are the crystallization of the ideas of the ancestors, and to put it mildly, learning is to promote the development of history. To put it mildly, it's just to survive. ”
"I heard that the Continent Immortal Law is prevalent, strength is respected, and the weak eat the strong, why don't we cultivate immortals, but learn these things that I don't know if we can use in the future. ”
The gentleman didn't speak, but walked to the door with Chen Jing, pointed to a banyan tree in front of him and said, "If this tree is our world, what do you think of?" ”
Chen Jing thought for a moment and said, "Everyone is a leaf, but some grow tall and some grow low. Just like Huatong, he himself has no ability, but his father is rich and powerful, so he can run rampant in the village.
Mr. smiled and said, "The growth of the big tree depends on the moisture of the water and soil, and this water and soil are the longitudinal growth, the leaves, and the people who are unwilling to be ordinary, struggling to live, swaying in the branches of history, eating in the wind and rain." High has high benefits, low has low advantages, which of these two lives, do you like?"
"I don't know. Chen Jing had never thought about such a question, and she was confused.
"Think about it, you'll figure it out. The gentleman said. "I'm not going to give you any advice, but no matter what you do, a strong body is necessary. "In this way, I got a method of breathing and breathing in the early years, which has the effect of calming the mind and cultivating the mind, and now I will pass it on to you." Perseverance is the only way to make an impact. ”
"Sounds amazing. Chen Jing said, "Sir, teach me quickly." ”
"Yes, but there is one thing, you must not know about it, not even your parents. ”
Although Chen Jing didn't know why her husband didn't want others to know, she still nodded firmly. "But, sir, why do you want to teach me this?"
"Maybe it's fate. After that, he taught him how to practice.
This method is not complicated, control your abdomen to rise and fall with your breathing, not to mention anything else, the effect of calming your mind and calming your breath will definitely be there. Chen Jing was able to use it freely in less than an hour, and then it was a constant practice.
Gradually, he forgot about what he wanted to cultivate immortals, after all, he was only a ten-year-old boy, but he didn't see Xiaopang after his injury healed, and he heard that they moved away after that day.
Life goes on, but physical exercise has become a compulsory course for Chen Jing every day. Despite the simple movement,
Five years have passed in a hurry, but enough for a young boy to grow up.
In the year 2915 of the Yaoguang calendar, during the rainy season in the valley, the weather was sunny, Chen Jing sat on the banyan tree next to the private school, looking at the adults who got up early in the distance. In a few months, he will graduate from here, and then he will go out to earn a living or inherit his father's business, he can only smile bitterly, is there any other choice for the children of poor families?
"Knock knock", the sound of drums came from afar. Why is it so lively? Chen Jing jumped down from the 2-meter-high branch of the tree when he thought about it, and the villagers he saw along the way were extremely happy, and he remembered after inquiring: Hua Fugui didn't know what method was used, Hua Tong had been hired by Xuanzong as a disciple of the outer sect, and he would report after the sect selection was completed this month. I heard that Hua Fugui reversed his posture of slamming the door and set up a flowing water seat at the door of his house for three days and three nights, which was not lively. also said that in order to ensure the safety of his son, he even invited two practitioners to protect him.
Hua Tong went to Xuanzong to cultivate, if he succeeds in his studies, it is estimated that he will not return to this small village, and his father has also moved a considerable part of his property to Ling Tiancheng in order to take care of his son, and I heard that he also bought a big house in the city, and he will live in the city in the future. Isn't that pleasing to the eye?
Walking on the country road, Chen Jing's mood was extremely happy. After today, there is one less harm in the village, and you can go wherever you want.
At this time, a trembling voice came from the alley on the side of the road, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, you just let me go." ”
"It's immoral to spit in front of people, you know. ”
As soon as Chen Jing heard this shrill voice, she knew that Hua Tong was bullying people again, but she didn't expect that after five years, she would still be so virtuous. He peeked against the wall and saw that he was facing away from the alley, gesturing at the young man kneeling on the ground, and there were two big men standing next to him, who should be the legendary bodyguards. Look closely, isn't the kneeling Xiao Wang next door? I was beaten and lay down for a month before, and he got caught with an excuse?
Listening to Huatong's tone this time, he obviously didn't have any scruples, and it is estimated that Xiao Wang will be disabled if he doesn't die this time.
Chen Jing came up with an idea out of nowhere: to secretly throw him with a stone to attract his attention.
The idea is certain, the next thing is easy to do, there is not much else in the countryside, there is a lot of sand and gravel, he picked up half a brick casually, aimed at the opponent's feet, threw it hard, the stone drew a perfect trajectory, when approaching the other party, a big hand appeared behind him, and with a wave of his hand, the brick became shattered. Mother, was discovered, Chen Jing saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly smeared oil on the soles of her feet.
Hua Tong was taken aback by the sudden situation, but still saw the figure of the perpetrator, gave an order, and chased after him.
I ran two streets in one breath, and when I looked back, there was no one, it seemed that I was lucky, Xiao Wang, there was only so much I could help with. Thinking about Chen Jing, he walked home.
"Boy, you're pretty good at running. How can this voice be so familiar, without such a pit, Chen Jing looked back and saw that Hua Tong was already only three meters behind him, panting, and he was also choking enough. His two bodyguards were not there, so it was estimated that they had been arrested separately just now, but he found them first.
Looking at Hua Tong, who was panting, Chen Jing felt a sense of relaxation for no reason.
"I remember you, you've been walking around when you've seen me for the past five years, but I didn't expect to dare to do it now, since you want to fight, I'll fulfill you. After speaking, the body was half-squatting, the left palm was stretched forward, and the right hand was pulled back into a claw, and he put on a posture that seemed to be very powerful.
Run, run, run? Monk can't run to the temple. Hit, did you hit? Hard-headed, can't be cowardly.
In five years, Chen Jing was no longer indecisive, he kicked his right leg and rushed towards Huatong, Xu didn't expect Chen Jing to dare to rush over to confront him head-on, and was stunned for a moment.
Just when he was stunned, Chen Jing had already rushed in front of him, with a little brute force, the side of his body, his shoulder instantly made intimate contact with his chest, knocking him to the ground, his arm was grinding out of the Dao blood due to the force, and the knee part was also worn out, Chen Jing used the force just now, rolled forward a few times, dissolved the force, and then stood up and ran away.
I don't know how long I ran, but I finally got home, my mother was stir-frying on the stove, and when she saw Chen Jing's appearance, she shook her head and said, "Son, where did you go to find it again, it was so dirty." ”
"Mother, I beat the flowers. ”
"What!" there was a crisp sound, the sound of the shovel in the mother's hand falling to the ground. "You stay at home, I'll call you daddy. After saying that, he left the door without the food being fried on the stove and locked the door. Chen Jing thought: Now I can't go anywhere, I have to calm down. Although Hua Fugui is usually polite to the villagers, it is a big deal to play Huatong, and his father is a farmer, relying on that one acre and three points of land to make a living, how can he deal with the revenge of the Hua family. Chen Jing also doesn't know whether it is right or wrong to put her family in trouble in order to help someone?
When his father's vegetable garden was not far from home, and when he returned home in half an hour, his mother followed his father's footsteps and locked the door. Chen Jing briefly told the ins and outs of the matter, and her father kept walking around the room after listening, while her mother wiped her tears on the side.
"What are you crying about, isn't the child good? The father said to the mother, and then faced Chen Jing and said solemnly, "Xiao Jing, do you think you did the right thing today?"
Chen Jing was stunned: Is it the right thing to do? I don't know, if I don't make a move, then Xiao Wang will have an accident, even if I have killed a lot of small lives, ants, cockroaches, mice, flies, etc., etc., especially ants, this ant is very numerous, burned with fire, irrigated with water, and there are not 10,000 but 8,000 dead, but it is a human being, a living person like me, how can I not care about it? I still made a move, but the result is the current dilemma, for an outsider to push my family into the abyss. I don't know how I did it at the time.
"Father, I don't know, but I can't watch a good person being bullied. I, I think I'm right. Chen Jing said what she thought. The father sighed, and seemed to be relieved, and said to Chen Jing: "Child, I'm glad you can say that, you did the right thing, life is in the world, you have something to do and something not to do, you have a future than your father, but after all, the Hua family is rich and powerful, and it may be even more remarkable in the future, according to the temperament of the old man Hua, maybe he will really come to the door, so let's do it, you are also fifteen years old this year, and there is no future in this small village, you should also go out to see the world, by the way, avoid the limelight, and wait for a few years before things stabilize." With that, he turned around and took a piece of paper and wrote.
"Okay, Xiao Jing, my father has a brother who was born and died in Ling Tiancheng, you can call him Uncle Tie, he now has a blacksmith shop in the east of Ling Tiancheng, you go to him now, here is a letter I gave him, he knows how to do it after reading it." After speaking, he said to his mother, "Mother, you quickly pack up a few clothes for the child, and take out the family's savings and dry food." ”
Chen Jing understands his father's mood, and now he really seems to have no other way to go except sneaking, "Dad, you gave me all the money saved in the family, what should you do." If the Hua family comes to the door, no, let's go together. ”
"Haha, child, the peasants rely on the land to eat, as long as they have land, they are not afraid of starvation, and my father still has a little prestige in the village, when the time comes, I say that you don't come back, and they won't embarrass us if they can't find anyone. Chen Jing wanted to say something but was stopped by his father, he took the package prepared by his mother, and said, "Lao Li at the entrance of the village is just about to enter the city to do business, I will go and tell him, you take his car into the city, be careful on the road." Then he led the child out of the house, and the mother, who usually loves to nag, didn't say a word, just stood at the door and cried silently.
There was a drizzle in the sky, and everyone called it valley rain.
