Chapter 9 A Year of Waiting

Although the Shuling Grass was robbed, the method of the blood of the five elements solved the problem of insufficient seeds. So, everyone was very happy and satisfied.

Wang Ertie has since gotten rid of the bad habit of drinking and talking nonsense, and he rarely even drinks alcohol, for fear of causing any more trouble. Zhao Hu is still the same, taking care of the medicine field, going up the mountain to collect medicine, and living his duty.

However, it was originally a happy thing for everyone, but Bailiqing never smiled happily since then. Except for occasionally helping Zhao Hu's family take care of the medicine field, the rest is sitting at home with nothing to do, and he sits all day, never taking the initiative to say a word. It was only when his son Bailifeng asked him that he should say a word, just to not let his son worry too much. Later, more often, Baili Qing personally took his son to the old man Liu Yuanzhi to practice calligraphy. What is incomprehensible is that his father, who had an average relationship with Liu Yuanzhi before, even refused to follow him to practice calligraphy every time, and these days, he basically took the initiative to take him to Liu Yuan's house every day. Moreover, it was he who was talking to the old man Liu Yuanzhi, drinking tea, and letting him practice calligraphy in the courtyard alone.

It wasn't until more than half a load had passed that the worry between Baili Qing's eyebrows gradually disappeared, and it was replaced by a relief. After that, he often followed Zhao Hu to do what he could like to go up the mountain to collect medicine. When he was free, he cleaned the dried rabbit skin and sewed something.

Seeing this, Baili Feng thought: Perhaps, it was the old man Liu Yuanzhi who enlightened his father. Thinking of this, he finally put his mind down, became much more steady, and devoted all his thoughts to practicing calligraphy.

Writing is the most interesting thing that Bailifeng has come into contact with, and practicing calligraphy has naturally become his hobby. For this, he is also tired of it, and he has to practice at Old Man Liu's place for several hours every day before he is willing to go home.

When he first started to learn calligraphy, Bailifeng was only four years old. At that time, Bai Liqing heard that a calligrapher had come a few months ago, so he took him to Liu Yuan's house to deliver his own home-brewed wine. Who knew that after Bailifeng entered the door, he was attracted by the old man who wrote calligraphy, and the old man actually had a scent of Ruimo on his body. Although he couldn't read at that time, when he saw the words of dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the papyrus, he was curious to see from top to bottom, from left to right, and then he couldn't move his feet, and even when he went home, he was lying there deadly, and his father forcibly carried him away.

After that, Baili Qing saw this and asked him to learn to read and write with Liu Yuanzhi first, and only began to learn calligraphy when he was a little older.

Not to mention, Bailifeng really has a talent for writing calligraphy. After several spring and autumn periods, he copied the regular script written by Liu Yuanzhi and was already decent, and the words on the straw paper were also sparse and conformable, thin and hard, tall and short, and the weight was coordinated and balanced. And now he writes regular script more skillfully, the pen reverse into the fast, such as the snake into the grass, reverse into the point after the adjustment of the front slightly, the pen and pen exchange transition, hook method is very fast, the method of suppressing the frustration, a wave and three folds, the so-called "late return does not advance, in order to become the head and tail of the momentum; fast to such as a cone; not Xu is not sick, want to roll back, proud Xu is out".

Or day, Baili Feng, as usual, came to Liu Yuanzhi's old man's house early in the morning.

"Xiaofeng, how about you write a pair of words for the teacher today? The day before yesterday, I asked a friend for the teacher to bring back some high-quality rice paper in the city, which is much better than the straw paper. As a teacher, I also want to see your real level now. ”

After that, Liu Yuanzhi picked up a piece of white rice paper with a little yellow glow and spread it on the table.

"Yes, teacher. ”

Baili Feng also believed in his own level, and after speaking, he took the ruler and pressed the four corners of the paper.

When he was about to put down the pen, Baili Feng turned around and smiled at Liu Yuanyi and said, "Teacher, the writing is good, do you have any color heads?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Liu Yuanzhi nodded with a smile, and then admonished:

"Remember to write a little slower, this rice paper is not as rough as straw paper. ”

Hearing this, Baili Feng leaned down slightly, and wrote with a pen.

I saw that he was hanging, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, like a leisurely stroll, with a leisurely appearance. In a moment, a line of ink-colored and subtle works appeared on the paper.

"Slow to know, fast to surprise, fast to strength, late to study, can be fast but not fast, it is called 'appreciation', can be fast and fast, it is called 'into the mind'. When Liu Yuanzhi waited for Baili Feng to put away his pen, he clapped his hands with satisfaction and praised.

Then, he said solemnly: "Xiaofeng, it's good." You're ready to go!"

"Thank you, Teacher, I haven't learned your handwriting and cursive handwriting yet, how can I calculate the teacher?" Baili Feng saluted, and said suspiciously.

"Xiaofeng, Xingshu and cursive script are all derived from regular script, and you need to understand it yourself and write a style that suits you. As a teacher, you can't teach anything else. ”

Liu Yuanzhi explained, then turned around and pointed to a row of brushes behind him, and said:

"Okay, since I promised you a gift, the treasures of the teacher are here, you can pick one. ”

Baili Feng, who was still pondering what Liu Yuan said before, heard the word "gift", and immediately became interested, turned around and walked to the pen stand.

The two rows of pen stands are full of brushes, including soft, hard, both, round, sharp, large and small, full of dazzling.

Baili Feng looked at this branch, looked at that branch, and was dazzled. After a while, he didn't make a choice. It's not because the pen is bad, but he knows that Liu Yuanzhi cherishes the pen and doesn't want to take away his love. Originally, he was going to pick a poor one, but he didn't know that the pen holder was full of good pens. Therefore, he is ready not to do this lottery head, it is too expensive.

When he turned around and was about to explain the situation to Liu Yuanzhi, he saw a brush hanging alone on the wall, the bristles of that pen were uneven, and the pen holder seemed to be the bones of some animal, and it was also mottled.

"Teacher, I want this. ”

Baili Feng pointed to the broken brush on the wall and said.

Liu Yuanzhi looked in the direction pointed by Baili Feng. He had accidentally picked up the pen a few years earlier, because he had cherished it, and although it was not a good pen, he didn't want it to continue to break down on the side of the road, so he brought it home.

"Xiaofeng, why don't you choose a better one? This one was just picked up by the teacher on the side of the road, and it is not easy to use. Liu Yuan's heart was full of questions.

"Teacher, this pen is relatively small, just right for me. The ones on your pen holder are too big, and I don't need to get used to it, hehe~"

Saying mischievously, Baili Feng ran over and took down the pen.

Seeing this, Liu Yuanzhi didn't insist any longer, shook his head with a smile, and said:

"Okay, Xiaofeng, since you have become a teacher, you have also taken the pen, so let's practice here today. Take your creations home and make your father happy. ”

Baili Feng responded, pinned the pen in his hand to his waist, and hurried home with the work.

When Bai Liqing saw the flexible work, he also showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time. Because of this, the father and son were also happy for a long time.

Until one day, Zhao Hu sold medicine from the city and saw a notice posted in Sao Ye City:

Residents of more than 20 towns under the age of 15 who possess the seeds of Shuling Grass can participate in the "Whole City Spiritual Opening" held in our city the following month. Registration will begin on this day, and applicants will be escorted into the city by the city protection detachment on the day before the "city-wide enlightenment".

Seeing this, Zhao Hu hurriedly registered his son, Baili Feng and Wang Zhuzi, and then immediately came back to tell Wang Ertie and Bai Liqing the good news. Everyone was very happy, but sorrow climbed up to Bailiqing's eyebrows. Perhaps, I was worried about how many children would go to the city.

Spring goes to autumn, like a white horse passing through a gap, and the period of the year has also arrived, and the Shuling grass in the blood basin is just like Baili Qing said, and it really bears three seeds. And the "city-wide enlightenment" of Sao Ye City will also come as scheduled.
