Suzhou and Hangzhou.

In the Huangmei season, it rains at home, and the grass pond is full of frogs.

The rainy road in the south of the Yangtze River is not full of sorrow, the drizzle of the eaves of the house is dripping, the screen window is cloudy, the rain is as thin as the tip of a needle, like a cow's hair, like smoke and fog......

Clean and wet stone road, a boy of about twelve or thirteen years old ran briskly, his eyebrows were clear, his hands were holding lotus leaves to cover his head, his shoes wet from the rain were very uncomfortable, and the cloth pocket in his arms seemed to contain something important.

Suddenly, my feet slipped.

"Hey...... Ouch......!"

Fell to the ground with a bang, the hard knees on the stone road hurt, and he didn't care about the lotus leaf picking up the cloth bag and holding it in his arms and running towards a house, and entered the door pavilion and knocked on the door.

The one who opened the door was a sturdy catcher.

"Xu Xian, come into the house, don't catch a cold~"

"Thank you Brother Da Niu~"

Xu Xian and Yu quickly entered the house, shook off the rain on his head, opened the cloth pocket and saw that the books inside were not wet and relieved.

For more than ten years, the little boy in the infant became a beautiful boy, but the beautiful and happy life that he said at the beginning did not come, and there was a slight surplus in the family when he did a little business, and Xu Xian was sent to a private school to read and write at the age of five.

Without my father and mother, my sister worked hard to run the house, but she couldn't read this book......

"You kid don't go out with an umbrella, your sister doesn't have to worry about death if you catch a cold, don't run around in a private school at noon, be careful of Mr. handboard. ”

Xu Xian's face was not very good, and he didn't know if he was freezing or what was on his mind.

The neighbors all said that Li Da Niu was simple and reliable, and he also made a marriage with Xu Xian's sister many years ago, and he may be married in the next two years, and the sister and brother are helpless and have only one house, fortunately, there is a future brother-in-law to help.

Li Daniu saw that Xu Xian had something on his mind, and then he didn't understand that he had just been kicked out of the private school.

"Ma Xiucai won't let you study? Good guy! Watch me break his horse's legs!"

Xu Xian hurriedly grabbed Li Daniu.

"Brother Niu, forget it, my sister is too tired for me to study, and I want to learn a craft to make money to support my family. ”

"Alas......"

Catch fast Li Daniu sighed helplessly.

Even if he can't afford Xu Xian to study, the bottom of the money is enough to live, study, it's not a star and a half, not to mention that he may have to study until he is thirty or forty years old before he can be promoted, except for the rich who can afford to be an official, poor Xu family left early.

Later, I thought that my adults left quite early, and this matter was troublesome.

"The neighbors all said that your family has come to the gods and said that you have fairy bones, who would have wanted to become like this, alas, if you want me to say ah, what kind of fortune telling is nonsense, I will be angry when I mention it, and the blind man on the street corner always says that I was a cow in my last life. ”

Xu Xian smiled, Li Da Niu looked as strong as a cow.

"It's quite like, hehe~"

"Lao Tzu is a fierce bull demon even if he is a cow, wait, Dong Blind sits there every day and sits there nonsense, and it is useless to keep those two legs, so give him a discount. ”

Ding Ding Dang hurriedly boiled a bowl of ginger soup and put some cane sugar to warm up Xu Xian's body.

Changing into Li Daniu's dry clothes, the ginger soup was hot and comfortable, looking out the window at the plum rain full of worries, I didn't know where to make money......

Other people's twelve or thirteen-year-old boys are learning crafts outside, and they don't panic when they have crafts, and they have a bite to eat wherever they go, but I haven't heard of anyone recruiting people in the last few streets.

The young man frowned worriedly, and the yellow plum raindrops outside the window were dripping on a rainy day.

Li Daniu saw that Xu Xian was worried, and knew that he was angry about the apprenticeship in order to make money.

"Xu Xian, you go home and talk to your sister, I'll help you pay attention to who is recruiting apprentices in the city, it's easy to settle accounts and find a job if you have read and read, don't worry." ”

"Well, thank you, Brother Niu. ”

"What's polite with me, come, put another bowl to remove the cold, it's very sweet to put sugar." ”

The Yan Empire was prosperous and commercially developed, and the people were well-fed and did not worry about being full, reading was the most popular, but many people still couldn't afford to read books.

Most of them have learned to use words and settle accounts on a daily basis, and thank God.

There are many benefits for reading people, especially exempt from taxes, you need to start from a child, show talents, lift people, jinshi, step by step to the exam, if you are lucky, you can climb up, how can ordinary people pass those books are complete and rich and noble, a book is expensive and scary, and there is no money to read any books.

The vast majority of them do nothing for a lifetime and drag down the family, and their wives and children suffer from it, which is not cost-effective.

Xu Xian's family situation is not good, it is already rare to be able to read and settle accounts, and it is better to learn the craft early to support the family.

The rainy season is like smoke and rain, and the humidity is cool.

When she went home, Xu Xian was worried that her sister would be angry if she didn't study, but she didn't say anything, as if she knew everything.

The sister and brother were not in a high mood, so they hastily ate dinner and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Lying on the bed, Xu Xian took out the treasure jade hanging around his neck with the help of the oil lamp to look at it carefully, his father said that it was a talisman baby sent by an old fairy, but he didn't feel anything special, in the past two years, he fell asleep at night and occasionally dreamed, always dreaming of a girl in white clothes who looked very good, and it was not too real to see vaguely.

Her hair is so long and she looks so beautiful.

"Who are you......"

muttered in a daze, fell asleep unconsciously, and listened to the extra fragrance of the drizzle drops falling asleep outside the window.

Immortals or Baoyu are not things that Xu Xian should pay attention to at present, if the family is short of money, he doesn't mind selling Baoyu for some silver to subsidize the family, anyway, it is also given by outsiders, and it is not distressing to sell, I don't know how much silver can be sold.

On the riverside outside the city of Suzhou and Hangzhou.

The night drizzle Hanshan Temple, the wet wind blows the copper bell, and the river waves swell and crash against the wharf.

Jinshan Courtyard is brightly lit like a fairy palace, in the pavilion on the top of the high mountain, the two old monks look at the lights of Suzhou and Hangzhou City to taste tea, the tea boiled by the stove is gurgling and steaming, and the fragrant tea seems to have not felt the taste in the throat, and it is difficult to taste it thoughtfully.

"It's been thirteen years, and I don't know how to prepare for the Southern Wilderness. ”

"The King of Wisdom will arrange everything, it's better to hurry, I always feel that the dragon scales may be in the world......"

There was a moment of silence.

"Is it right or wrong for us to do this? ”

"There is nothing called 'right' or 'wrong' except for the words 'right' and 'wrong', how can you tell right from wrong?"

"That's it, the catastrophe is fierce and terrifying, and I am willing to devote my life to protecting the world. ”

One of the old monks wanted to seek enlightenment in his thoughts, and only when he saw it and realized that he knew who was his true self.

"Alas...... Why bother. ”

Again, everyone has their own story and involuntary rivers and lakes, although the world is big, it is full of fetters, it is right for some people and wrong for others, and it is impossible to distinguish between right and wrong.

Huang Meiyu is still sad, as thin as silk.
