On the fourth day of the third month, two o'clock.

On the day of Qingming, the fragrance of purple tung flowers reached the extreme.

"Hurry up, help me clean up."

Tang Xun's residence was a mess, and he himself was carrying a large bag and a small wrap, looking like he was going to clean up and run away.

"If I let Boss Bai know that you ran away without permission, I will definitely not spare you next time." Wu Jingxing dragged his lame feet and helped him pack his things in the cramped house.

"I'll talk about it next time, if you don't hurry up this time, Chaomen will really be in trouble." Tang Xun threw the tattered flags, hexagram books, and copper coins he had been telling people into his baggage, and said, "Do you want to join me?" ”

"Believe the words of an old liar and run away in advance?" Wu Jingxing shook his head.

"You old lame man said that, if you don't leave, you won't leave." Tang Xun exhaled and said: "Then you are fast, can you take advantage of the present time to go to the Tian family for me to ventilate, so that they can also leave quickly now." I don't want to see them suffer. ”

……

On the fifth day of the first month of March, three o'clock in the ugly hour, on the day of the Qingming Festival.

"Eun Gong, it's all ready for you."

Di Ying took out one thing after another, and said solemnly: "This lock helmet was originally just a common military standard equipment, but this time I have reforged it, it is stronger, and the hammer can't smash it." ”

Di Ying said as she picked up a sledgehammer and smashed it on it.

He was a blacksmith by training, and he had a lot of strength, but he smashed into a helmet in the shape of a hat, and there was not a single dent on it.

He put down the hammer, picked up the trap box that had been repairing, and said: "And this box, not only has the machine inside been repaired, but also added a lot of mechanism functions, not only the types of hidden weapons, but also the way to store the sword has been changed to a layered one, as long as you carry it on your back, you can easily draw out the weapon from all directions." I've also re-ruggedized the shell, and the way to use it is ......"

"No, I've got it." Qiu Shaohu only touched the machine box once, and the power of the Seven Killing Stars was keenly touched, so he immediately understood the composition of all the organs inside.

"Ah, and," Seeing Qiu Shaohu put the wolf skin on his body again, and put the box on his back while wearing the lock helmet, Di Ying continued: "It took me three days to draw the shape of the broken knife, and I finally drew it completely. This knife shape is really unprecedented, and I can only infer what it should look like through some details, if Engong rebuilds it according to this drawing in the future, it is estimated that the power of this knife will be extraordinary. ”

"Got it." Qiu Shaohu took Di Ying's drawings, just glanced at them, and then took them back.

He had everything ready, and he wouldn't take anything else to heart except the one thing he had identified.

Qiu Shaohu was about to leave, and looking at his back, Di Ying suddenly felt a little strange.

"Eun Gong!" Di Ying knew that he was going to do something important, but he still couldn't help but stop him.

Qiu Shaohu stopped walking towards the gate.

"Take care!" In the end, Di Ying still said: "If you still have a chance to pass by here, don't forget to come to the shop again, you will always be the guest here." ”

"I'll come back to you again." Qiu Shaohu replied lightly.

As he spoke, he left the place.

……

On the fifth day of the first month of March, just after the end of the month.

"Father, are you leaving again?" Xu Ju looked at Xu Yicheng, who was about to go out, and said, "The porridge that has just been cooked, don't you eat it?" ”

"Shhhh ”

"Well, then you must come back quickly, we are all waiting for you!" Xu Ju said, and continued to read on the fire on the stove this morning.

……

On the fifth day of the third month, the day of the Qingming Festival, there is a moment in the morning.

As soon as the letter office opened, I saw a person waiting outside, and the gatekeeper was surprised that someone had come so early in the morning.

"Send a letter, can you write it here?" Qiu Shaohu asked.

"Ah, yes, the pen and paper are here, what do you want to write?" Naturally, the letter bureau also has a letter writing business, after all, literate people are still in the minority.

Qiu Shaohu didn't care about him, walked straight to the side of the bookcase, picked up the brush, and wrote a letter on a piece of paper:

Mother on health,

Recently, the trivial matter is about to be resolved, and when this time is stable, he will go to visit his mother.

I am very worried.

The last address was in Kangjing, and the recipient's name was "Qiu Nianwei".

……

Three quarters of the hour.

"Who?" Hearing the knock on the door, Xu Ju thought that his father was back, but when he opened the door, he saw Qiu Shaohu.

"Sir?" Xu Ju was both surprised that he came so early, and also surprised by the other party's dress.

The black big hat, the copper hat, and the dull dress of the whole person made Xu Ju's familiar scholarly atmosphere become an unspeakable condescending oppression.

Leaving this young kid a little overwhelmed.

"Your father, he's not there?" Qiu Shaohu said.

"He just went out," after a pause, Xu Ju added, "Father, he's always wanted to meet you, sir." ”

"Are you reading?" Qiu Shaohu saw the book on the stove.

Xu Ju originally thought that Qiu Shaohu still had to test him on some of the content in the books, but he didn't think that Qiu Shaohu suddenly said: "If you really win the promotion, and then you will be on the gold list all the way, and your career will be smooth, and when you become a big official, what do you want to do?" ”

"I ......" Xu Ju thought for a while and said, "It's too far, I haven't thought about it yet, I just thought that if I can become a big official, my father won't have to work so hard......"

"So, do you expect Shitu to make you soar and become prosperous from now on?" Qiu Shaohu's face was covered by the edge of the hat, and he could only see the corners of his mouth smiling, but he couldn't see his eyes.

"Sir, am I wrong?" Xu Ju said timidly.

"No, it's not you who are at fault," Qiu Shaohu touched his head as if to reassure him, and said: "Many teachers, while teaching their students, if he ascends to the official career one day, he will definitely be full of gold and jade; On the other hand, he admonished his students to be honest and honest. But those scholars from the bottom, seeing the temptation of officialdom, will only think that years of hard work will be rewarded, how can they consider anything else? ”

"Or, we are all wrong, when the books of scholars teach those poor scholars that 'there is a golden house in the book', don't expect them to be content with poverty after becoming famous."

"That's ......," Xu Ju said.

"I won't ask you to be content with poverty for the rest of your life, but in the end, I just want to tell you one thing." Qiu Shaohu said and pointed to his heart.

"Do you have a clear conscience?" Xu Ju understood what he meant.

"Have a clear conscience and move with a clear heart." Qiu Shaohu said: "Literati and humanities, after reading and learning so many literatures, they must also learn to be a man after all. ”

Looking at Xu Ju, who was deep in thought, Qiu Shaohu left here again.

"Sir!" It wasn't until he walked away immediately that Xu Ju woke up like a dream, "Can we meet again?" ”

Xu Ju could feel that this time, Qiu Shaohu was really leaving, so he came here to teach him the last lesson.

"I'll come back to see you again if I have the chance." Qiu Shaohu finally said.

……

During the Qingming Festival, the yin qi sinks, which is suitable for food supplementation.

In the medical hall, Zu Yixian was giving the last patient a pulse, and while looking at his complexion, he asked, "How are you doing?" ”

"It's much better, but I'm still very depressed." The patient said.

"Prescribe some oyster powder for you, fry it with water, remember to eat it after meals, and after eating five pairs, it will be fine."

Zu Yixian wrote down the prescription, sent the last patient away, and after a little thought, he turned to record the cases he encountered today.

The case book is densely packed with poisoning patients he has recently treated, and he has been repeatedly comparing their symptoms and speculating on the cause of the poisoning in the past few days.

Finally, he put pen to paper on the new page and wrote the following words:

"Summarizing the above symptoms, the root cause of poisoning, and gradually becoming ......"
