After the Taoist priest left, Gu Congsheng and Gu Changsheng depended on each other.

Gu Congsheng became the only Lang Zhong and scholar in the village, Gu Changsheng became the cowherd baby in the village, and the villagers saw that Changsheng was weak, so they "named it and figured it out" according to the old man in the village, and gave Changsheng a nickname "Da Zhuang", and Congsheng did not object, and since then the villagers have called Changshou Da Zhuang.

Second Master Wang returned to the village when Changshou was four years old, that is, a year after the Taoist priest left. Two years after Wang Er returned to the village, he opened a carpenter shop in the village. At this time, Gu Congsheng was eleven years old, and Gu Changsheng was six years old.

This year, Gu Congsheng sent Gu Changsheng to Wang Er's house to beg Wang Er to let Changsheng be an apprentice, to the surprise of the villagers, Wang Er agreed, and the villagers also sent their children to be apprentices, but without exception they were all rejected, and over time, Wang Er's stinky temper also spread. Wang Er was willing to take Changshou as an apprentice, and the villagers thought that Wang Er took pity on this child, and they were really happy for Changsheng.

But after that, Wang Er often asked Gu Changsheng to do some rough and heavy work, and Gu Congsheng, who had always loved his younger brother, ignored him, Gu Changsheng never complained, and the villagers didn't say much.

In the eyes of the villagers, although Gu Congsheng has been doing farm work since he was a child, he doesn't look like a farmer, Gu Congsheng is more like a scholar, although the villagers have only seen a scholar when they were in the town, a green shirt, and they will always be so elegant.

Although Gu Congsheng has always been dressed in sackcloth, but Gu Congsheng gives people the feeling that they are more elegant than the scholars in the town, Gu Congsheng also reads, the villagers often see Gu Congsheng holding a book in his spare time, some of those books are left by Gu Congsheng's father, some are Gu Congsheng picking medicine and selling money from the bookstall in the town, the villagers know that Gu Congsheng likes to read, so the villagers will bring some back to Gu Congsheng every time they rush to the market, anyway, you can buy several copies for a penny, and the villagers are not stingy about it.

The villagers thought that Gu Congsheng's book must be very good, so the villagers persuaded Gu Congsheng to take the test to gain fame, but Gu Congsheng refused, and the villagers thought that Gu Congsheng was worried about his younger brother, maybe he remembered his father, thinking of this, the villagers did not mention it again.

The villagers are very good to Gu Cong, maybe they pity this child, maybe they are pleasing to this child. What the villagers saw on the face of the saint in ancient times was always gentle and humble.

Gu Congsheng is very kind and enthusiastic, since the Taoist priest left, the villagers have a headache and brain fever are cured by Gu Congsheng, Gu Congsheng also often helps farmers to do farm work, and Gu Congsheng still has the tenacity and perseverance of farmers, hard-working character, which is very popular with the villagers.

Therefore, even the most stinky carpenter Wang Er in the village was very gentle to Gu Congsheng, and even the most pungent Widow Liu was kind and pleasant when she saw Gu Congsheng. The peasants couldn't think of a better word to summarize the ancient Congsheng, as if only the word scholar could match the ancient Congsheng.

For Gu Changsheng, that is, Da Zhuang, it is different from Gu Congsheng, for Gu Congsheng Village, people are more appreciative, it is a recognition of their heart, and for Gu Changsheng, it is out of love for future generations.

Gu Changsheng has not been good at talking since he was a child, but he always has a smile on his face, Gu Changsheng loves to laugh, but his personality is more introverted, so the villagers always like to tease Gu Changsheng, and always say that they want to find a daughter-in-law for this little carpenter, every time Gu Changsheng runs away with a blushing face, and then causes everyone to laugh.

Although Gu Changming is introverted and weak, he is not delicate at all, just like his brother, he reveals tenacity in his bones.

What can he do in the carpenter shop does not wait for the master Wang Er to tell him, never lazy, although Gu Congsheng loves him, but he is never used to him, at the age of six Gu Congsheng began to teach him laundry and cooking, sewing and supplementing housework, and also taught him to read and write in his spare time, identify medicinal materials, maybe Gu Congsheng wants to give him a long life.

In the words of Gu Congsheng, Gu Changsheng had to learn to live on his own, and he couldn't take care of him for the rest of his life. After Gu Changsheng met, Gu Congsheng rarely asked him to do it, as long as Gu Congsheng could do it himself, he would not let his younger brother do it, but asked him to learn the craft from Wang Er seriously.

Gu Changsheng is also well-behaved, and he has never disobeyed his brother. Every time Gu Changsheng learned a small wooden job, he would make one for his brother first, and then, Gu Congsheng had his own small bench, small desk, and small medicine basket, and in Gu Changsheng's eyes, his brother was his everything.

Changsheng Since the Taoist priest left, although the body has been weak, but never regained the disease, Changshou only remembers that the Taoist priest has treated himself, he has pulled the Taoist priest's beard, and the Taoist priest's face Changshou can no longer remember. The Taoist priest didn't leave anything for himself, but fortunately, his brother still kept the Taoist mustache he pulled back then, and every time he thought of this, Gu Changsheng wanted to laugh.

For this Taoist priest who saved his life after getting along with him for nearly a year, Gu Changsheng was not only grateful, but also regarded him as a relative, so he made a small box and put the Taoist priest's beard in it to keep a memory.

The elder brother rarely mentions the Taoist priest, but the pair of palm-sized tortoise shells that the Taoist priest gave to the elder brother, the elder brother never leaves his body, and from time to time he will take it out to see, the tortoise shell has dense symbols on it, and he is a little dizzy when he looks at it a few times, but the elder brother often takes it out of his pocket to see. Strangely, the tortoise shell seemed to be visible only to the two brothers, and not to the others.

Changsheng asked his brother the Taoist priest, and the brother smiled and touched his head and said, the Taoist priest is actually a Langzhong, who was about thirty years old and very kind, and saw that he was pitiful and saved your life.

Gu Changming asked the tortoise shell again, and Gu Congsheng said that it was something that the Taoist priest gave him to keep as a thought, as for others to see it, it was actually a trick in the rivers and lakes, just like what he saw when he was in the market in the town, and asked Gu Changming not to tell others, saying that he would not, and then the village people would make it troublesome to perform.

Gu Changsheng was still not convinced by his brother's explanation, but Gu Changsheng was still very willing to listen to his brother's words, so Gu Changsheng never mentioned tortoise shells to anyone.

"Why did the Taoist priest go?" Changsheng asked again, "Then naturally he traveled all over the world and hung the pot to help the world." Changsheng found that his brother's face was a little wrong when he talked about this, but then he regained his smile, and Changsheng only thought that his brother missed the Taoist priest, and also said that he missed him, and he didn't know when he would come here, only to see his brother whisper: "Will come back, will come back." In the end, the elder brother smiled and said, "Our brother's name is still given by the Taoist priest", and Changsheng found that his brother was smiling very happily at this time, very happy.

Gu Congsheng likes to read, Gu Changsheng likes to watch his brother read, Gu Changsheng knows that his brother has the ability to never forget, but his brother still likes to read over and over again the books left by his father who have long remembered the bedside and the books he picked up from the small town bookslet.

"Every time I read it, I understand the truth in the book a little more, and the more I read it, the more I understand the truth," said the elder brother.

Watching my brother read a book, Changshou also found a strange thing, as he grew older, it was more likely that with the increase in the amount of reading by his brother, the golden light between his brother's forehead and eyebrows became more and more intense, although Changshou only saw the golden light flash occasionally, but it was indeed constantly enhanced.

Gu Changming told his brother about his discovery, and the brother just touched the top of Changsheng's head and said with a smile: "You may be dazzled, there is such a thing." "Gu Changsheng thought about it, and it shouldn't be a bad thing, so I didn't think about it anymore.

The villagers often see such a scene, in the small courtyard in front of the thatched hut, Congsheng sat on the bamboo chair made by Changsheng and read carefully, with a small turtle on his lap, and Changsheng sat on the small bench and didn't know whether he was staring at his brother or in a daze, and there was a black cow lying next to him with his eyelids drooping.
