"Wang! Woof! Woof! ”

A few dog barks woke Su Hongshan, he was sleepy-eyed, and rolled over from the bed and fell to the ground. When his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he looked at the Western table clock in the room, and it was only half past three.

Standing up, a pale face appeared, startling him. If you look closely, you are yourself in the mirror in front of the bed, with a face like white jade and round earlobes, a bit like Guanyin Bodhisattva. People who have seen Su Hongshan's handle think that he is a bit of a boy and a girl, and he looks more gentle.

Fuck, forgot to cover the mirror with a cloth before going to bed. Sleeping in front of the mirror, no wonder I didn't sleep well in the first half of the night.

"Wow!"

The dog is still barking.

He changed into cotton clothes and walked into the courtyard. I saw that the big yellow dog I raised was manic, barking at the eastern sky.

"Huzi, don't scream!"

Su Hongshan reprimanded the yellow dog, squatted down and hugged it, and soothed it by the back. The yellow dog stopped barking, but it still made an uneasy "whining" in its throat, and its eyes were fixed on the eastern sky.

Suddenly, a blinding white light shot up to the sky, pointing straight to the sky, illuminating the dark eastern sky as bright as day.

Su Hongshan blocked the light with his hand and squinted his eyes to watch carefully. In the middle of the night, the white light disappeared from the sky, and the earth returned to darkness and silence.

That white light should be a cultivator who controls the air and flies into the sky.

The Xuantian Continent has a strong aura, and cultivators are endless, and it is not new. The Mulin Village where Su Hongshan is located is located at the foot of Yunlong Mountain, and there is a Xiuzhen sect called "Cereal God Sect" on the mountain. The white light that just now rose from the Yunlong Mountain Range, I am afraid that it is the master of the Ceres God Sect, and it soared at dawn.

"Okay, okay, it's okay with us."

Su Hongshan went back to the house and continued to sleep. The sky was bright, and Su Hongshan naturally woke up.

When he got up, he saw that his father's bow and arrows and rope nooses were no longer there, and he knew that his father had gone out into the mountains to hunt. There was no smoke from the cooking, and my mother had already prepared breakfast: bean porridge and pickles, as well as steamed sweet potatoes and fried crunch boxes.

Su Hongshan ate and drank to his heart's content, put a boiled egg in his pocket, and then said "go" to his mother. walked out of the courtyard gate, took his baggage, and went straight to the village school.

There is a school in Mulin Village, and the teacher who teaches is surnamed Liao, an old gentleman whose real name and age are unknown, and the people in the village only call him "Old Man Liao".

The students in the school range from children aged six or seven to older children of the fourteenth and fifteenth five. Old man Liao was divided into three classes according to age: large, middle and primary, and took turns to teach them astronomy, geography, grammar and arithmetic, covering everything. However, there is only one thing that is not taught, and that is cultivation.

The reason is also very simple: the local Ceres God Sect, a sect of cultivation, has an audition every year, and children with cultivation qualifications are selected to enter the academy opened by this sect, and there is no age limit. Those who have cultivation qualifications have all gone to the academy of the Ceres Sect for further study; The rest are studying in schools in various places.

Su Hongshan is twenty years old this year and has never participated in auditions. He himself has no idea of cultivating, and his parents are not reluctant. Moreover, he is naturally smart and learns things quickly, and he is very loved by the teacher Liao Laotou in the school. Therefore, since he was sixteen years old, he stayed in Old Man Liao's school as a teaching assistant.

His daily work is probably to help the teacher order food, clean up the house, and do some chores; Supervise the students' studies, answer some questions on behalf of the old man Liao, and occasionally teach from generation to generation.

In a few years, my knowledge will be more solid, and I may go to the university hall in the city to become a lecturer. Saving some money and buying a house and getting married ———— Su Hongshan's current ideal, probably so.

Su Hongshan came to the school, entered the courtyard and came to the door of the classroom. A pair of long couplets are always posted at the door of this classroom, which reads:

Flying away from the sky and no one cares, Anbang is worthless.

Four words in horizontal batches:

The Ordinary Way.

Su Hongshan went to the classroom, made a pot of boiling water on the stove, turned to the back of the door, took out the broom, and cleaned the front of the door. After the courtyard was cleaned, the water was boiling. I took out the tea leaves from the cupboard and made tea for Old Man Liao in advance, and then the students came in twos and threes.

After a while, the classroom was noisy. Then an old gentleman in a gray cloth robe walked in, carrying a dozen handouts. He is Old Man Liao.

Su Hongshan said hello to Old Man Liao, sat at the back of the classroom by himself, and spread out his notebook to take notes.

Old man Liao took a sip of tea and began to lecture. Just a few minutes ago, suddenly a student probed his brain and looked at the door. Old man Liao tapped the blackboard with chalk and said unhappily:

"What are you looking at? What's at the door, so pretty? ”

As he spoke, he looked at the door, but he didn't think that there was really a person standing. The man was dressed in a scarlet robe, wore a square scarf, and carried a small bookcase behind him. He has a dark complexion, two small black beards, a little rich, and is a little black and fat. It seems that he is also a literati.

Old man Liao looked at it, put down the chalk in his hand, and waved his hand at the students, meaning that this is the end of today. Naturally, the students were overjoyed, and they all went home to play as if it was a holiday. What does this mean? It turned out that Old Man Liao saw that the visitor was carrying a bookcase, and he also looked like a scholar, and knew that he was a scholar who traveled to study.

This study tour is a scholar who goes to the countryside to eat in a string of schools. When you enter the school, you bow to Mr. Teaching, everyone is a reader, polite to each other, and talk to improve your knowledge. Regardless of his knowledge, the people in the academy need to take care of his meal and give him some travel expenses, just because the scholars in the world are one family, and they must take care of each other for the sake of the saint's face.

Today, the little black fat man is at the door, smiling. Su Hongshan also understood what he meant, and immediately invited him into the inner room of the school, where he made tea and poured water, and set up tables and chairs.

When the old man Liao and the little black fat man sat down, Su Hongshan was waiting on the side. Old man Liao asked:

"I'm glad to be lucky, I don't know Mr. Daming?"

The little black fat man smiled and said:

"The contemptible person's surname is Zhao, and his name is Zhao Zhi. You're Mr. Liao, who teaches here, right? ”

"Yes, it's down there. Are you looking for me? ”

"Oh, long and long. This one...... I'm a little hungry. Let's eat first. I'll talk to you about it after dinner. ”

Old man Liao was a little embarrassed when he heard this. This Mr. Zhao is really direct, he came up to ask for food, and he didn't even talk about half a sentence.

"Oh well. Red handle, go to the small shop in the front village to book a table of banquets. ”

Su Hongshan nodded, turned around and went to the small shop in the front village. Old man Liao borrowed this kung fu and asked again:

"Mr. Zhao, where did you study and study?"

"I started from Yuzhou and went north to study. In recent days, I have come to this land of Yan Zhao. ”

"Oh, you can hear it in your accent. What research do you do? ”

"Well, I'm a little hungry right now, and I can't say it clearly for a while. Let's wait until we're done. ”

Old man Liao couldn't help it, and couldn't help but smile embarrassedly on his face. Fortunately, Su Hongshan's handle was very quick, and after a while, he came back with a food box.

There are no exquisite dishes in the small shop at the head of the village, just a roast chicken, a plate of fried old mushu pork, half a pork knuckle sliced, a plate of old vinegared peanuts, and a plate of cucumbers. I made a pot of privately brewed multigrain wine. The meat and vegetables are all blackened, and it seems that the soy sauce is not missing.

Zhao Zhi was unceremoniously, like a whirlwind of clouds, and swept away these large plates of wine and meat.

After drinking and eating, Zhao Zhi sat down very satisfied, with a happy face. Old man Liao and Su Hongshan looked at each other, feeling a little weak in their hearts. Old man Liao smiled first and said:

"Mr. Zhao, I'm almost done. I see you've eaten already, so let's talk, shall we? ”

"Okay, what do you say?"

"What are you looking for me?"

"Oh, hi! Actually, it's fine, I'm just hungry. ”

When Old Man Liao heard this, he felt a little angry in his heart. Holding back his anger, he said:

"You're really a lover. We are all saints and disciples, and it is also appropriate to take care of each other. ”

"Yes, it should, it should."

“…… Oh, yes. This, I have been teaching in the village, and you can see that you are traveling all over the world, and your knowledge must be higher than mine. ”

"Not necessarily, you're too modest."

"Haha. In short, you are well-informed, and this should be true. Well, I also teach these children to write articles these days, and they are all written blindly by children. But there are a few articles, and I think they are well written. Can you go through it and help with the corrections? ”

"Oh, I don't think so."

Teacher Zhao and Su Hongshan were stunned for a moment, and the little black fat man Zhao Zhile was happy, and then said:

"I'm not humble either. Mainly, ah, I can't read. ”

After speaking, Zhao Zhi stood up, tightened his trouser belt, bowed deeply to the two, and said:

"Thank you both for your hospitality."

With that, he strode out the door and walked away.
