Chapter 60: Zhu Cong
Falling, as if the soul, the body, and everything in the body is falling.
"Ah Tian, Ah Tian, where are you, I miss you so much, I really miss you, can you hear me?"
In the hazy darkness, who is calling for whom, why is there such a mournful and poignant voice?
"I know you're here, I'll wait for you, I'll always wait for you, waiting for the moment when you set foot on Heaven again, and I also know that you'll be the most powerful hero in this world, and I'll wait for you no matter what you become. ”
I don't know the years, I don't know where I am, I just know that the sound is both familiar and unfamiliar in my ears, and sometimes the pain is not what I have experienced, but what I have experienced, but then I forgot it all.
"Wait for you, I will always wait for you. ”
Zhu Cong woke up from his sleep and looked blankly at the house with four walls and saw the roof that had leaked rain, he was a scholar, and he had been trying to get a reputation in Beijing for most of his life, and he felt that all the suffering he had suffered was worth it.
The four joys of life, the long drought and the rain, the old acquaintance in another country, the candle night in the cave room, and the title of the gold list......
This has always been something Zhu Cong believes in, after getting up, sorting out those heavy bamboo books, then carrying them on his shoulders, glancing at the sky that was drizzling, Zhu Cong walked out of the house.
"In the future, this will be the champion's house, and in a thousand years, I will be remembered, and I will even be famous for eternity, so all the hardships I endure now are worth it. Zhu Cong glanced back at the dilapidated thatched hut again, with a confident smile on his face.
A bun can make Zhu Cong endure for a day, if it is a steamed bun, it is enough to stay up for two days, Zhu Cong has four steamed buns in his bag, Zhu Cong decided to take them to the ten-day trip, ten days later, he will arrive at the nearest city Qinghe Town, then he will stop in Qinghe Town, set up a small stall to help people write and mix a few money, and continue on the road after mixing the road expenses.
"Yo, this stupid reader is finally here. ”
"Yes, the family is so ruined, and he still wants to study, I think his old mother was so angry with him. ”
"Really, I heard that the old mother asked for a daughter-in-law for him, and he thought that the daughter-in-law was not worthy of him. ”
The people in the village all looked at Zhu Cong with disdain on their faces, although they were farmers, they also knew what it meant to be ambitious, and Zhu Cong was a negative example among them.
Zhu Cong never paid attention to these discussions, he knew that as long as he named these peasants on the gold list, he would not say this about him, he only had one idea of high school, and this idea would never change.
Leaving the village, Zhu Cong began his journey into Beijing, of course, no one knew where he would go or where he would pass......
When he came to the grave outside the village, Zhu Cong knelt down.
"Mother, everything is fine, when I am named on the gold list, I will let the emperor make us glorious. Zhu Cong knelt three times in front of the grave, then stood up straight and finally hesitated, and finally picked up the steamed bun enshrined in front of the grave and wiped it and put it in the clothes bag.
"In the future, I will let your mother have a lot of fish and meat, but now I will let the child fill her belly first. ”
Zhu Cong paused, looked at the grave again and left, without leaving the water.
......................................................
"Boss, do you want me to write a letter on my behalf?" Ten days later, on the bustling street, Zhu Cong's stall finally ushered in a person. It was a young man, dressed in white, with a perpetually lazy expression on his face, as if he would fall asleep at any moment.
Zhu Cong judged that this young man should be looking for himself to write letters.
"No, I'm not writing letters, I'm just here to test your words. The young man shook his head and looked at Zhu Cong seriously.
"I'm sorry, I'm a reader, I don't believe in this kind of ghosts and gods, I only believe in the big truths in the book. Zhu Cong shook his head, he didn't like this young man, he felt that the young man had tarnished his identity a little.
How can a scholar be like a charlatan? This is completely unsuccessful.
"It seems that you don't know the meaning of word measurement, and you are not a real reader. The young man was still smiling, but his expression was a little more serious.
"If I'm not a scholar, are you?" Zhu Cong stared at the young man for a long time, and finally shook his head.
"I don't know, it's just that the books I read are different from the books you read. The young man and Zhu Cong looked at each other for a long time, and then suddenly nodded.
"What is not allowed, a scholar, that is, to read the books of the sages to understand the principles of the sages, to learn the literature and understand the etiquette, this is a scholar, but not a lazy person like you, if you have nothing to do, you should leave, do not hinder me from doing things. Zhu Cong saw that this young man had always been very uncomfortable, so he didn't speak politely, but pointed straight to his heart.
"What did you do?"
"Write letters. ”
"But you have been setting up a stall here for so long, is there a customer who comes to the door? Although there are many illiterate people in Qinghe Town, there are also many literate people, but you are useless. The young man saw that Zhu Cong drove him away, but instead found a stone and sat down.
"........." Zhu Cong opened his mouth to refute, but in the end, he didn't say anything. What this young man said was true, he had indeed set up a stall here for a long time without expecting that no one had come up, perhaps, this young man was his first guest.
Zhu Cong subconsciously touched his stomach, is he going to be hungry for another day?
"It's sanme. ”
"I can't do anything, I can't take it. Although Zhu Cong wanted to get the money from this young man's hand to buy a few steamed buns, the expression on his face was very arrogant.
"If you don't want it, forget it. The young man stood up and took back the money, "Wait until it rains, so good luck." ”
"Don't send it!" Zhu Cong still raised his head, but his neck was a little sour, he didn't know what he was insisting on, he only knew that he might be hungry because of the so-called wind bones later.
Wait for it to rain?
How is it possible, it's a sunny day and there are no clouds in the sky at all, hey...... If you want to deceive a reader like me, you're still too tender...... Tender......
Just when Zhu Cong was a little disdainful, suddenly a burst of thunder sounded in the sky, followed by a gust of wind blowing dark clouds gradually shrouded the sky......
Zhu Cong was stunned.
The sages are above......
This young man's crow's beak can't really be so accurate, right?
Zhu Cong hurriedly cleaned up the stall, but he didn't want the rain to come so facelessly, and before he even collected a few pieces of paper, the heavy rain poured down......
Zhu Cong had to brave the rain to speed up the cleanup, but after it was completely cleaned up, Zhu Cong was also drenched in soup.
Time passed little by little, Zhu Cong was hungry, cold and tired, wandering on the street, not even a beggar huddled in a corner......
At least there are steamed buns in the beggar's bowl.
And he ......
That's it, let's borrow a bun first!
Finally, he gritted his teeth and walked towards an inn!
The inn is called "Yuelai".
