In the sixteenth year of Dongzheng, something rare happened in Dai'an County.

It is rumored that the county school of Dai'an County has a little Xianggong who is the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing, and it is not enough to learn the year, but he wrote the famous sentence "Helpless flowers fall, déjà vu Yan returns", I heard that even the adults in the Jixia School Palace in the capital are full of praise, and they praise the world for a stone of rice, and the little Xianggong himself can eat eight buckets!

Not to mention that we are in Dai'an County, which Qinglou Goulan's joker is not on his lips every day, and even illiterate servants will recite a sentence for many years.

That's a top talent.

Xiao Xianggong is Li Xiangyu.

In the tenth year of Dongzheng, the eldest brother was hit in the autumn festival, and only one year he was hit in the spring festival and went to Beijing.

The second brother really couldn't read, and his mother had always been laissez-faire, and as soon as the serious and rigid eldest brother left, the second brother simply dropped out of school.

I don't know what my mother thinks, the second brother dropped out of school without asking or talking, and within a few days, the mother who had never been out in my memory actually sent the second brother to the distant Sanqing Mountain. I heard that there is a real martial arts sect there, which is the orthodoxy of Taoism in the world, and it is very effective to approve the order and unsign, Li Xiangyu really can't understand, where can the second brother go and what can he do, could it be that he is a scholar to calculate the hexagram and unsign?

Imagine that the second brother would be wearing a robe and telling fortunes on the street one day, Li Xiangyu was so happy.

In the twelfth year of Dongzheng, Li Xiangyu passed the hospital examination and wanted to go to the county seat to study. But the age is too young, the mother had to take the younger brother and sister to move to the county seat, but the eldest sister was very happy, and contributed money and efforts to buy real estate in the county, three in and three out of the courtyard, very generous.

Since then, Li Xiangyu has settled down in the county.

......

It is about to enter autumn, Li Xiangyu has another serious illness, and every time the seasons turn in the past few years, there will always be diseases, some big and some small, and the weak body can't do it.

There are many diseases, Li Xiangyu has long been used to it, but he doesn't go to county school, and it's really boring to be bored at home.

When I had nothing to do, I dug out the letters of the eldest brother and the second brother and looked at it, and roughly calculated that I hadn't seen each other for nearly seven years.

The eldest brother's handwriting is as beautiful as ever, and a letter to his family a month ago said, "The silver obtained is more than two gifts to the fellow classmates, and there is no unjudged place, that is, it seems to have a slightly famous heart." ”

Since he has gained fame, he has become more and more old-fashioned and serious, and even helping people has to reflect on whether he has a trace of utilitarianism.

Compared with the eldest brother, Li Xiangyu thinks that the second brother's letter is more interesting.

I remember that when the eldest brother first entered Beijing, the letter was still in Beijing to paint the bridge, the wind curtain was green, and there were 100,000 people, which made Li Xiangyu really look forward to yearning and interesting, but in the future, he was not ashamed to think about his mother's "failure to serve him", or that he wanted to "be humble for learning, and be clumsy for others." The angry Li Xiangyu directly wrote "Helpless flowers fall, déjà vu Yan returns" and sent it to Beijing.

On the other hand, the second brother's letter, from the earliest "There is a bad old man who forces me to read the Taoist scriptures every day, and if I want to study, I want to do something in this place, and I am angry and pee in the bed of the bad old man." "To the middle" last time a fire burned the Taoist scriptures of the old man, and the old man was really angry and didn't let me eat for a day. "Until a few days ago, "Brother is now a master as high as Sanqing Mountain, the old man can't do it, you are not in good health, who dares to bully you in the future, don't do it yourself, remember to tell my brother, my brother will hammer him to death for you, there are many beautiful uncles and sisters on the mountain, and when my brother goes down the mountain, I will turn one for you to be a lady." In addition, remember to eat the elixir I stole from the old man, it will be good for you. ”

It's really fun.

......

After recuperating for two or three days, maybe the elixir brought by the second brother is really effective, although the body is still a little weak and unable to make strength, but it feels a lot lighter, and after being in bed for a long time, Li Xiangyu gave birth to the idea of going out for a walk.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, Xiaobai ran over excitedly, very clever and gentle.

In recent years, Xiaobai has become more and more powerful, twice as big as an ordinary earth dog, and the shiny yellow fur is as hard as a steel needle, and the stupid and pitiful expression can not be seen on the dog's head.

"Xiaobai, go out for a walk. Li Xiangyu greeted softly.

Xiaobai nodded smartly, and followed out with eight steps with four paws.

Pushing open the gate and walking a short distance, you will reach the street, where there are already merchants selling vegetables and groceries. Seeing Li Xiangyu go out, some familiar ones greeted one after another: "Little Xianggong, I haven't seen you for a few days!"

Li Xiangyu replied with a smile: "I haven't been in good health for the past few days, so I haven't gone out." ”

"Little Xianggong should take care of himself!"

Li Xiangyu smiled, didn't say much, and continued to walk forward lazily.

"The little minister is really handsome. ”

"yes, it's just that this body is really worrying. ”

"You said that the little minister can eat eight buckets of rice a day, why is his body still so weak?"

"Huh, can you eat eight buckets of rice a day?

My uncle's cousin's brother-in-law listened to the adults of the Jixia School Palace in Shangjing. ”

"It's pitiful that you can't eat so much, and you can't eat all your family. ”

"You know a fart, Xiao Xianggong is the reincarnation of Wenqu Star in the sky, and the rice he eats has turned into talent, and he will be the champion in the future. Besides, the little minister is the descendant of the Xingyu Li family, and his brother-in-law is the eldest son of the Lu family, so it's no wonder that he can eat poor!"

"Ah, that's a lot to eat. ”

......

Walking out of the street, the vision suddenly became broader, and I didn't go out for a few days, and I looked at the familiar scenery and became kind.

People are really strange, they are always cramped and uneasy when they first arrive in a strange place, and they miss their hometown, but after staying for a long time, they become familiar with their hometown.

In addition to returning to his hometown for a few days every year, Li Xiangyu, who lives in the county seat most of the time, is gradually becoming unfamiliar with Xingyu Village.

It's the same with that place in memory, right?

Not far away, there is a streamer temple, the temple is not big, there is only an old monk with two small novices, the old monk is old, I feel that the health is not good, when I first saw Li Xiangyu, the old monk can become a relic at any time, but after so many years, the old monk is still like that, not for the better, nor for the worse.

Listen to the old monk said, originally in Songshan two Zen temple practice, probably no understanding, practice for half a lifetime did not come out of a so, then left the temple to do an ascetic, Dongzheng four years when came here, see this streamer temple abandoned pity, then stayed.

As soon as you live, it's until now.

The old monk never did anything on weekdays, so the incense in the temple was not prosperous, and he lived very poorly, but fortunately, there were pious believers who occasionally gave alms, but he did not starve to death.

Not long after moving to the county seat, Li Xiangyu wandered here, and saw that the old monk was doing poorly, so he gave a few taels of silver, and formed a good relationship with the old monk. Coupled with the good tea brewed by the old monk, it is clean here on weekdays, and Li Xiangyu has occasionally come a few times.

After going back and forth, the two became acquainted.

Approaching the Liuguang Temple, thinking of the old monk's tea, Li Xiangyu decided to sit in the Liuguang Temple. Just walked a few steps, a voice suddenly came from the corner, "Cousin, I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss my brother very much, I was about to go to you, and I met here, it's really a surprise!"

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

Li Xiangyu stroked his forehead and sighed, with a headache.

Not far away, a little fat man ran towards Li Xiangyu, followed by two family members.

"Little master, run slowly, don't fall......"
