The bamboo cane strikes the bluestone slab to make a sound of "da~~da~~", which is particularly crisp in the misty dawn. On the garden path came a young man, in his twenties, quite tall, with a bamboo cane of equal length in his hand on the dewy and slippery stone surface. He seemed to be a blind man, but he walked quite fast, and after three or two steps, he turned a thin stone rockery, bypassed a pool of swimming fish and clear water, and saw a cluster of flower beds hiding a wooden building in the splendor. Several gardens of flowers and plants are varied, although there are no very precious fairy plants, can be interspersed with each other in the long branches and short leaves, and she is red and I have a natural beauty of no ingenuity between the arbitrary collocation of green space. In autumn, chrysanthemums are in time, so the most common chrysanthemums occupy a lot of colors.

"Hehe, Childe Zao!" A round face poked out from a garden garden opposite, the childish girl still had a little baby fat, the sweat beads moistened the curved sideburns honestly attached to the small ear, a pair of red cherries fell under the delicate earlobe, and waved with the girl's beckoning.

"Ling'er, be careful with your step, don't step on the flowers and plants again. A soft and glutinous voice came from another flower garden, and then a girl came out, older than her round face, about ten years old. The figure is slender, and the long hair is slightly tied up, revealing a milky white neck. The eyebrows seem to be delicately outlined with a fine brush, the fluttering eyebrow corners, the slightly upturned nose tip, and the soft lip line just have a weak and coquettish demeanor. "Childe is early!" and the soft and glutinous voice was again, "Why is Childe wearing old clothes again, didn't Xiuyunxuan send a few sets of new styles of cheongsam yesterday, among which there is a blue-bottomed Xiuyun shirt that is really beautiful and tight."

The blind boy smiled slightly: "The new clothes are not used to wearing, and the old clothes are more close-fitting." As he spoke, he turned to the flower garden behind his round face, raised the corners of his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "There are only two petals left in the third hibiscus flower in front of the garden gate, and only three chrysanthemums are left in the sixth pot on the left back. ”

was "taught" by the two of them in a row, and his round face suddenly turned into a red apple, and he wrinkled his good-looking nose and complained: "Childe has no consciousness of being blind, and he is obviously blind, how can he know so fine?"

Childe was stunned, and then laughed: "Lie to you, stupid round-faced girl." ”

The round face was stunned for a moment, and then shouted coquettishly: "Liar, I believe in you so much, and Childe is also a bad guy." The corners of Childe's mouth twitched, his face was full of pride, and he was noncommittal.

The slightly longer girl also covered her mouth and chuckled, but secretly observed Childe from the corner of her eye. Childe is still in old clothes, wearing a light blue robe, which is a little white after washing. The hair bun is not a wooden hairpin, and the sideburns are meticulously combed. The cheeks are a little thinner, so the face is more angular. Under the upright nose is the corner of the mouth slightly pursed, and the two blind eyebrows are closed into the sideburns, I think if those narrow eyes can be bright, what a handsome man it should be! Childe seemed to know that the girl was peeking at him, so he turned his head sideways and said, "Xichao, I'll come to the front hall to help me read the newspaper of the lower house, okay?" Xichao didn't expect Childe to suddenly talk to him, so he touched his reddened cheeks weakly, and replied softly: "Well, Xichao will come after cleaning his hands." ”

Childe didn't delay any longer, and walked towards the small building in the flower garden, and the sound of the bamboo cane of "Da~Da~" faded away. The round face grabbed the back of the middle of the path and made a big grimace. Xi Chao patted the forehead of his round face and scolded: "Ling'er, don't be naughty, I'll go read the newspaper to my son first." There are still flowers and plants in the small half of the garden to prune and cut leaves, and it can be done in half an hour. Be careful, don't break the flowers~~" I still want to say more, but the wind chimes are already impatient: "Sister Zhao, don't be verbose! I'm about to become an old woman! You go and read the newspaper to my son!Go quickly~~ This is wrapped in my sword little woman's body~~ Ensure that the sword leaves the leaves, oh, no, it's the flowers under the sword." ”

Xi Chao chuckled: "You, you're frizzy all day long, how to say that you are also a junior student of the German Pastoral Society, why haven't you made much progress." Feng Chime stuck out his tongue: "Of course I don't have the ability to cherish Sister Chao, I am only eighteen years old this year, and I am the eugenic student of the first-class team of Furui Pavilion, if I am like Sister Zhao, I will not be a jingling wind chime!" After saying that, he ran into the flower garden with a gust of wind, the scissors flew one after another, the leaves fell a little, and the flowers were innumerable.

Xi Chao hurriedly drank a few words, and was afraid that the son would wait for a long time, so he had to worry about leaving, and he felt pity for the flowers and plants in his heart, which were not blown away by the autumn wind last night, but were destroyed by this naughty girl!

The small wooden building in the shade of the flower garden is divided into two entrances, and the back hall is the workshop where Childe usually carves, and it leads to the winding path of the garden. The front hall is a hospitality and display exhibition hall, with large wooden windows placed on both sides of the hall, and through the glass cabinet doors, you can only see exquisite wood carvings or standing or lying in the exhibition. Because the cabinets were placed in the corner of the wall, there was a large open space in the center of the front hall, and at this time, the son moved a wooden chair and placed it in the center of the ground. The chair was a Taishi chair with a high backrest, but Childe sat on it with his waist straight, as if he was sitting on a bench. The sunlight piercing the morning mist shone in through the wide open front door and shone on Childe's body as he sat upright, with a square seat and a long bamboo cane, casting a long shadow of light behind Childe

Xi Chao sat a little behind the left of the child, the son was very tall, and the shadow covered the upper body of the Xi Chao, only the white lotus blooming skirt and the goose yellow and blue flower cloth shoes swayed under the warm sun. "Reading in the sun hurts your eyes", this is what Childe said, so he chose this place close to Childe and no direct sunlight, so that Childe can not only hear his not very loud voice, but also protect the window of his soul, "The eyes are the window of the soul", which is also what Childe said.

I sat down, opened the thin newspaper of the hospital, and began to read the "current affairs" that Gongzi often said. "The 46th living Buddha of Tallinn Buddhism, Danba Jiangcuo, the day before yesterday, drove the first treasure temple of the Dayu Emperor's capital, the Red Lotus Temple, and will hold a declaration meeting in the near future to give Buddhism. The soft and glutinous voice unique to the dynasty sounded, "The chief executive of the Buzhou Island Sea State Alliance, Pingjinshi, brought the prince Sugawara Oba and the princess Sugawara Qiongzi to the court, or negotiated with Wu Dayu on the ownership of Haiphong islands and reefs. It is also reported that the prince Tail Leaf and the princess Qiongzi want to enter our academy for further study. Childe listened quietly and read carefully, but his brows were slightly furrowed, and a self-deprecating wry smile appeared on his lips. He gently opened a trace of the corner of his eye, looking at the snail-like pedestrians on the street outside the door and the particles of dust floating in the early morning sun, and the wry smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker.

Childe is not blind to be precise, but in his left eye, the speed of all moving objects is slowed down by an infinite number of times, and in his right eye, all the small things are magnified by an infinite number of times. So since he was a child, Childe often saw the old man who had fallen halfway there, falling slowly to the ground. It is also common to see sparrow-like mosquitoes, rubbing their sharp mouthparts with their rickety forefeet while flying, and rubbing shoulders with green flies like suckling pigeons. Now I am looking at the still beauty of Xichao, and at the same time carefully observe the small mole at the corner of her mouth. So the world in Childe's eyes is different from the world in the eyes of others, since it is different from what ordinary people see, it should be considered blind if it is not blind!

To be more precise, Gongzi is not from Yuguo, and certainly not from Buddhism, which can be testified. It is even more unlikely that he is from Haibang, and this height can also speak for itself. It is by no means the blonde barbarians and black desolate people who are far away from the sea, in fact, Childe does not belong to this world. In Childe's opinion, the world, especially this Yu Dynasty, is extremely disordered. Obviously, it is the personnel style of ancient times, but there are many glass products of good quality, and they are extremely cheap and popular; it is obviously a country where the feudal imperial power is deep-rooted, but it sprouts the ideological trend of capital constitutionalism; dry road transportation is obviously still carried on the shoulder, but the sea transportation is extremely developed, and it has entered the age of great exploration early; the social atmosphere is obviously still restrained, but there are college-like educational institutions, and there are no restrictions on men and women, and they can be enrolled. It is such a contradictory and strange world, and Childe has been here for twenty-two years.

"Childe, Childe, the newspaper has been read, Childe, Childe~~" Xichao Rourou's voice came from behind him, pulling Childe's thoughts back. Feeling the warm breath behind him and the warm sunlight in front of him, Childe felt that the world was actually not bad, and his life was also very good. Thinking like this, Childe's straight back loosened and leaned back on the high back of the chair. The boy is quite tall, so the back of the chair is a little taller, just enough to lean on very comfortably. "Cherish the dynasty, let's go to Jingpo Lake in the mountain behind the academy at noon! There is a small food shop, especially famous for fresh mutton shabu-shabu, I'll treat you!" Childe squinted his eyes and said leisurely. "Well, okay, I'll tell Ling'er later, she's going to be happy!" Childe remembered the coquettish greed with a round face, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that you have to bring more money, otherwise you will be deflated by that girl!"
