Chapter 18 Scholars are courteous

The morning light is faint, and the east wants to dawn.

Xingye stood in the courtyard, bidding farewell to the senior brother and the second senior brother who were preparing to travel far away.

"As soon as the two of us leave this time, you, Pei Pod and Uncle Shi will be left, and the matter of taking care of the yard will be left to you. The second senior brother explained carefully, "The pod is still young, and she is a girl, and the teacher said that when she understands the Tao, and even whether she understands the Tao or not, it is up to her." As her senior brother, you can ignore her cultivation, but you must be good at guiding her in terms of virtue and ability. ”

"Well, junior brother understands. Star Evil replied earnestly.

The senior brother was not very relieved, and interjected again: "The old man and Uncle Junya also went to the Holy Pony City half a month ago, you have to watch the pods, don't let that kid named Xian and the pods have too long alone time, look at Mu Mu Nene, who knows what bad intentions you have." ”

Xingxie's face was embarrassed, but he nodded in response.

"That young man won't have a problem, doesn't the senior brother embarrass the little brother by explaining like this. The second senior brother explained.

"I'm just saying. The senior brother glanced at the white rabbit sleeping very sweetly next to the threshold, and scolded: "Damn, how long has it been since I came back, and I have to leave again, and when Lao Tzu goes to the ruins.....

"Senior brother, it's not early, let's get on the road quickly. The second senior brother glanced at the senior brother, and the senior brother realized that he was almost speechless.

"Then junior brother, this house will be handed over to you, and we will withdraw first. Senior Brother patted Xingxie on the shoulder, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Senior brother, second senior brother. Star Evil suddenly stopped the two.

"What else is the matter, junior brother?" the second senior brother turned his head and saw the star demon bowing and saluting.

"You must return safely. Star Evil said seriously.

"I can't hide anything from you. Rest assured, with our skills, even if we can't win, we won't die there. The second senior brother smiled, and gradually disappeared at the corner of the long street step by step with the senior brother.

Yuanxu is the place of the Ocean Taki, one of the four major families, and the senior brother and the second senior brother are going there, how could the star evil not guess that the two of them are going to find trouble with the six Jiao in order to vent their anger for themselves. It's just that once the two of them make a decision, it can't be saved by the persuasion of the star evil.

It's still early in the morning, Uncle Shi is sleeping, Pod is sleeping, and Tun Tun is sleeping. Star Evil thought that it would be okay anyway, so it was better to go and buy breakfast first.

On the long street outside the courtyard, the breakfast shops were opened, and the bosses were busy greeting guests or preparing ingredients, and when they saw the star evil coming, they didn't forget to say hello, and the star evil responded with a smile one by one. It seems that wherever he goes, this gentle and humble teenager is always very likable.

Outside a shop not far away, there were more than a dozen people gathered for some reason, and there was an argument in the crowd, it seemed that two people had an argument about something, and then attracted more than a dozen onlookers. At this time, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and it was able to attract the attention of more than a dozen people at once, and this kind of battle was not small.

"You're embarrassed to say that you're a scholar, but you eat my two big bowls of ramen and say you don't bring any money, can a scholar eat a bully meal? That's what you say in your book?"

Xing Xie walked into the crowd and saw the owner of the ramen shop, who was pulling a young man dressed as a scholar, spitting everywhere, and the young man was being watched, his face was red, and he covered his face with his hands.

"It's really insulting to Sven, insulting to Sven. The scholar shook his head again and again, "I said that I was in a hurry to go out and forgot to bring money, so I went back to the inn to get the money for you, but you pulled me for fear that I would run away." Could it be that I will deceive you if I teach in the Imperial Capital Academy?"

"Phew. The boss spat on the ground with a mouthful of thick phlegm, a kitchen knife with shiny oil and minced green onions in his hand, and said loudly: "My shop has been open for more than ten years, and everyone in the street knows each other, but you can see it, and you are also the imperial capital Tai Academy, who knows where you came out, maybe it is a wandering fugitive." If you don't have the money today, you will be delivered to the government. ”

The scholar looked at the kitchen knife that the boss was dancing around, and his already white and tender face was even more frightened, and he said in a trembling voice: "I have something to say, don't hurt my life, don't hurt my life......

Xing Xie shook his head, thinking that this picture was really funny, so he said loudly, "Boss." ”

When the boss saw the star evil coming, he showed a warm smile on his face, and said, "Oh, look at this early morning, let the star evil boy see the joke." ”

"This time is negligent, human nature. Xingye looked at the scholar and raised his hand.

The scholar was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly tidied up his sleeves and returned the salute respectfully.

"This guy is not a good person at first glance, he looks white and clean, but he doesn't even bring money, and he is a scholar, if I hadn't seen the temperament of the star evil boy, a real scholar, I was really frightened by him. The boss glared at the scholar as he spoke, and the scholar's face suddenly turned from red to white.

"Two bowls of ramen are fifty yuan, I gave it for him, and you have delayed your business like this. Xing Xie said as he counted out the copper coins from his bosom and put them in the boss's hand.

"How can this be, it's ...... to hand this guy over to the government" The boss looked anxious, and he was really embarrassed to take the money from the star evil.

"Don't get in the way, you take the money, and the matter will be settled. Xingye smiled gently.

"Then it's cheap, you kid" The boss snorted coldly, nodded at Xingxie, and went into the store to get busy. As soon as the people saw that the matter was over, they all dispersed. On the long deserted street, there were only two left, Xing Xie and the scholar.

"Thank you for today's incident, little brother. "The scholar also salutes the star evil.

"It's a gesture. Star Evil replied.

"In this world, there are not many people who are willing to raise their hands to meddle with this idle matter, especially a teenager of your age. The scholar sighed, perhaps because he had regained his composure, the scholar's eyebrows and eyes looked extraordinarily delicate, and his face was very handsome, and he was actually an elegant man who was not inferior to the second senior brother.

"It's really just the little things. "Star Evil was praised by the reader like this, but he was a little embarrassed.

"I heard that the little brother is called the Star Evil before, in the shadow of the lower string, can you tell me the address, and when I go back to the inn to get the money, I will return it to you. ”

"It's only fifty cents, not necessary. Star Demon waved his hand.

"The amount of money is a small matter. Xianying Zhengse said: "It's not a secret, teaching in the Imperial Capital Tai Academy, if you talk about money, one hundred and ten taels of silver are not in your eyes, but for us scholars, the most important thing is to be reasonable and polite." Paying for meals is reasonable, and it is a courtesy. If the little brother doesn't take me this money, I will become the unreasonable and rude person, how to make it. ”

Seeing that the scholar named Xianying was sincere, Xing Xie stopped refusing, pointed behind him, and said, "There is a small courtyard on the corner of this street, and I will live there." ”

"Noted down. String Shadow nodded.

Xing Xie smiled, looked at Xianying carefully, and exclaimed, "You are a teacher of Tai Academy, I didn't expect to be so young. ”

Xianying was in high spirits, and said loudly: "I am the youngest teacher in the Tai Academy, and many of the students are older than me. ”

Then Xianying seemed to remember something, and lamented: "In recent years, the world has been peaceful, and there are many fewer people who choose to practice than in the past, and most of them have embarked on the road of studying. I thought this was a good thing, but most of these students only seek fame and fame, and they are all mediocre people, but there are few people who read and ask questions, which makes people feel so sad. ”

"There are tens of thousands of avenues in the world, each with its own way of walking, after all, the sages are a minority, don't force it. My teacher said that no matter what kind of life you choose, you should live it as you like. Star Demon comforted.

"Your teacher?" Xianying was stunned, looked at Xing Xie deeply, and said, "To have a student like you, the teacher must also be a great person." ”

"Thank you. Star Evil said sincerely.

"You and I hit it off at first sight, and unconsciously said so much, haha, I'm going to be busy with some things, and this money will be sent to you tomorrow, so I'll retire first." The shadow of the string struck again.

Xing Xie nodded in return, looking at the back of the string shadow fading away, thinking that the little junior sister and the two rabbits, one big and one small, should also wake up, and hurry up to buy something to eat.

"Let's buy a few steamed buns. Xingyi looked at the steaming steamed buns beside him, and his stomach growled.

After eating the steamed buns, the pod made a grimace at the star evil, disappeared, and did not return until the evening, the star evil was reading in the house, and there was a sudden sound of dog barking outside the courtyard gate, and a few scolding.

Xing Xie got up and walked out of the house, and saw Uncle Shi, who was tickling comfortably at the door, as if nothing had happened, and Uncle Shi, who was chewing vegetable leaves next to him, looking innocent, crying and laughing, thinking that this was the first few passers-by who were scared away by these two rabbits.

Then he saw a letter on the ground.

The letter came from Zhenzhou. Zhenzhou, presumably sent by his third senior brother Yongye.

Xingyi opened the letter and looked at the crooked handwriting on the paper, his expression became solemn......

"Senior brother, I'm back. A crisp voice sounded, and the pod, who had a lot of fun, jumped in, and Xingxie smiled and nodded, and took the letter into his arms.

"Senior sister, I may have to go out tomorrow morning. ”

"What, why don't you go, then I'm not the only one left in this courtyard, you don't care about me. Pod wrinkled her nose and said angrily.

"There are some urgent matters to deal with, I'm really sorry, don't you still have Xian to accompany you. Star Evil said apologetically.

"Okay, okay, senior brother has something, just be busy. He waved his hand and went into the house to wash.

Starevil looked at the pod, touched the letter in his arms, and turned around and walked into his room with a heavy heart.

In the empty yard, there were only two rabbits, one large and one small, left.

Uncle Shi still looked lazy, lying on the ground, his mustache trembling slightly.

"Tomorrow, you follow that kid, his three-legged cat kung fu, in Cangyang, is the same Ming Dao realm as him, as long as he has been on the battlefield for a long time, it is also a matter of two or three times to settle him. The water was very deep in that place. Uncle Shi yawned, and his voice was vicissitudes. And listening to its tone, it seems that it already knows the contents of the letter.

Tun Tun was still chewing the vegetable leaves with relish, and when he heard Uncle Shi's words, his big black eyes kept rolling.

"Old bastard, you want to kill the old lady, you obviously know how many eyeliners the entire Taki-clan is now staring at the old lady at sunset, and let the old lady follow the little hairy boy to Cangyang, it is estimated that before he left this town, he was destroyed by others. Tun Tun also opened his mouth and said, but a mouthful of a "old lady" is embarrassing.

"Then it's up to you, you have relied on the temperature of the child's body every day for the past month to heal your injuries, the old man at home can see it, if something happens to the child in Cangyang, your consequences can be imagined. Uncle Shi's tone was careless, but it made Tun Tun pout very humanely.

"Just follow him tomorrow, the old lady has eaten and drunk for so many days, even if it is the protection fee paid by the little hairy child. ”
