Lotus pond small building.

The sky gradually darkened, and at this time, Luo Yu and Qian Ling'er had already returned home.

Under the candlelight, the two sat in relative silence for a long time. Qian Ling'er kept looking at Luo Yu and never looked away. But Luo Yu only lowered his head, and his expression seemed to be thinking about life.

As if thinking of something, Luo Yu broke the silence and said, "Teacher, do you have any last words?"

After saying that, he hung his head again, as if he had been talking to himself.

But Qian Ling'er frowned slightly, showed a gloomy face, bit her pink lips and said: "Before grandpa died, he only muttered to himself, 'Heaven and earth have righteousness, and mixed and popular. The lower part is the river mountain, and the upper part is the sun star. Yu people say Haoran, Peihu is full of ......'. ”

Qian Ling'er lowered her head after speaking, and there was a faint sound of sobbing.

After listening to this, Luo Yu sighed with mixed feelings in his heart: "The teacher's virtue is beyond my reach." ”

Qian Ling'er listened, but her brows were lightly locked, and she looked up at Luo Yu suspiciously and asked, "What does Grandpa mean?"

Luo Yu only looked at the candle flame that was dancing and flickering, and pretended to be quiet: "Haoran righteousness, heaven and earth last, the way of a gentleman ......." ”

Without waiting to finish listening, Qian Ling'er frowned slightly and interrupted: "What's the matter, I don't understand what you're talking about!"

Saying that, Qian Ling'er didn't forget to sneak a glance at Luo Yu, and Luo Yu looked at Qian Ling'er, her smart eyes, and shook her head with a wry smile: "Actually, it's nothing, the teacher's words are a gentleman's virtue, and they are already ...... otherworldly." However, we are living in the present, and we still have to think about mundane things such as firewood, rice, oil, and salt, so great virtue can only be thought about in my twilight years. ”

Qian Ling'er looked at Luo Yu, who pretended to be helpless, smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, then supported her arms, raised her moving face, looked at Luo Yu and said sadly: "Yu, what should we do in the future?" Although the family has the money and food savings left by your grandfather, and you are also famous, you have no worries about food and clothing, but your grandfather is not there, but I don't know what to do, and I always feel empty in my heart. ”

Luo Yu looked at the candle flame with a daze, as if there was some huge treasure in the candle flame!

Seeing Luo Yu like this, Qian Ling'er suddenly said angrily: "Hey, what about you?"

As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Luo Yu's arm, twisted it backwards, and then a miserable cry of pain sounded!

"Ah~~ It hurts!"

Luo Yu immediately begged for mercy: "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! I say I say I say!"

Rubbing his arm, seeing Qian Ling'er, who was holding his chin and looking at him at the moment, Luo Yu also did the same, holding his chin listlessly and saying, "What else? I will naturally take care of you in the future." ”

Qian Ling'er was pleasantly surprised when she heard this: "Really!?"

Looking at Qian Ling'er, who was surprised at the moment, Luo Yu let out a weak "um", and then continued: "When I am named on the gold list in the future, I will give you glory and wealth." ”

Saying this, he stopped abruptly, Qian Ling'er waited for a long time, and saw that he hadn't waited for the next step! Then he frowned, and looked at Luo Yu, who was pretending to be a stinky fart at the moment, and said with a look in his eyes, "I'm interesting enough, right?"

Qian Ling'er asked tentatively, "Finished?"

Luo Yu touched his nose, pretended to be serious, and nodded: "Well, it's over." ”

Qian Ling'er suddenly snorted softly.

Seeing that Qian Ling'er's 'devil's claws' were about to be caught again, Luo Yu had already taken precautions, how could she let her succeed, and jumped backwards and shouted: "Stop! The gentleman doesn't move, the teacher's spirit is on top, Sister Ling'er is not going to lose her manners." ”

Not to mention, when it came to the master, Qian Ling'er really stopped, but still stared at Luo Yu angrily.

After a moment of stalemate, Qian Ling'er suddenly threw an object into Luo Yu's arms, and then ignored Luo Yu, who was screaming repeatedly, turned around and went back to the house. Luo Yu felt a heart-piercing pain in his chest, "I'll go, this stinky girl, she actually plotted against me!"

Luo Yu sneered while reaching out and taking out a hard object in his arms, this look, it turned out to be a pair of stone bracelets made of five small ashlars!

Seeing this, he looked at the stone bracelet and asked suspiciously, "Sister Ling'er, what does this mean?"

asked for a moment, but there was no answer, Luo Yu had to smile awkwardly and play alone.

After a long time, Qian Ling'er's voice sounded: "Grandpa's relics, left to you." Don't talk to me, huh!"

Luo Yu was even more puzzled, muttering, "Relic?"

Obviously, someone only listened to the first half of the sentence, and for the second half of Qian Ling'er's words, Luo Yu directly ignored it!

He picked up the bracelet and looked at it carefully, the stone bracelet was made of five plain square stones, the craftsmanship was rough, but the size was just right for wearing it on his wrist. Look at this texture, it is estimated that it is the color of the stall, brush a color, carve a flower, engrave a word, and maybe it can be worth a few lines. Forget it, how can I say that it is also a relic left to me by the teacher, or I wear it as a good student, and it can be regarded as a memory, who told me to be so filial and respect the teacher?'

But at this moment, Qian Ling'er's voice came from the back room: "Yu, I'm hungry." ”

The voice was already much gentler, and when Luo Yu heard it, he didn't want to get up immediately, and said with a smile: "Oh, okay, I'll make you a delicious vegetarian meal." ”

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and ran towards the kitchen.

After Luo Yu left, Qian Ling'er lifted the curtain, looked at the busy figure who was going back and forth in the direction of the kitchen, and listened to the jingling sound, but there was a little more gentle smile on her smooth face.

...............

As the saying goes: "Spring is accompanied by a peach blossom cloth breeze, the wind is harmonious, and the birds are singing." "It's the vernal equinox.

Although the Master is gone, people cannot help but be sad. However, the villagers of Peach Blossom Village don't think so!

The ancients lived a long life and ended up being a happy mourning, and this statement, Luo Yu had heard of it in the past, and it was not surprising that birth, old age, sickness and death were natural in heaven. Just as he himself came to this world inexplicably, everything has its own certainty. The Si people are gone, and the thoughts are vast, but the living still need to continue to live.

Thinking so, if he is comforting himself, these days, he and Qian Ling'er have gradually been relieved, and their lives have slowly returned to normal.

As the saying goes, a few families are happy and a few are sad, Luo Yu has the first talent in the show, since it is the thing that everyone talks about after the tea and dinner in the village. The villagers are simple and kind, and naturally feel proud. Who called them this little peach blossom village, and within a few years, there were two talents in a row. Whenever this matter is mentioned, the villagers naturally applaud the late Old Master Qian.

Although most of the villagers think so, there are always people who are distressed.

No, since Village Chief Tao learned that Luo Yu won the first place on the red list, he often had a sad face! Although others smiled in front of him and praised him constantly, he was always sullen in private.

Without him, just because his son Tao De was not angry! When Master Qian was there, the village chief Tao intended to marry his master. And if he can be the head of this village, he naturally has extraordinary vision.

You must know that this Qian Master is not an ordinary person, he is a rich man, and he has implemented ancient and modern times, and his prestige in this radius of hundreds of miles is even more incomparable. If his uncompetitive son can marry Ling'er girl, then wouldn't the old Tao family want to glorify the lintel! Even if he can't marry, he can ......become a door-to-door son-in-law.

Village Chief Tao has his own little Jiujiu in his heart, but the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is like the five-finger peak hidden in the sky on the Qingqiu Mountain, which invisibly slapped him a few loud times. And after failing again and again, he did not make the slightest progress until the death of Old Master Qian...... It can be said that the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes.

Whenever he mentioned this matter, the Master always said, 'Ling'er is still young, and the future will be as it will be.' ’

Then he diverted from the topic and passed it perfunctorily, so that he could not refute it, who said that he could not read a few words? How could he argue with the master?

Although he is the village head, in front of Master Qian, let alone him, the village head, even if the prefect comes, it is not easy to do it. So he hoped that his son Todd could get along more with Ling'er's girl and cultivate his feelings. Since the master's path can't be followed, then let's save the country with a curve, as the saying goes, 'love arises over time', isn't it?

But what he never expected was that whenever he acted like this, the boy always did bad things, either intentionally or unintentionally. The most important thing is that even if he tells his son thousands of times, he should not fall for that kid's tricks. Hey, this stupid son actually protected Xiao Yu!

Thinking of this, Village Chief Tao was bored for a while, and sighed: "Here are the children and grandchildren~ I have my own children and grandchildren, and what the master said is right, let it be, hey~." ”

Looking at the peach tree in the distance, the iron triangle trio of Tao Deluo Yu Qian Ling'er. Village Chief Tao, who is a father, suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Then he sighed helplessly, turned around and left, and simply came out of sight and out of mind, so as not to see too much and panic in his heart.

Under the old peach tree by the lotus pond, at this moment, there are three people sitting on the ground.

The slightly younger boy is naturally Luo Yu, at this time he sits in the center, holding the grass stem in his mouth, and throws the small stone in his hand into the lotus pond from time to time, hitting a small splash.

And near him sat a young man with a slightly burly figure and a square face, with a faint trace of heroic spirit between his eyebrows. The young man's wide eyebrows are rich, and his eyes are bright, and he is Tao De, the son of the head of Tao Village.

On Luo Yu's right, sitting on his knees was a graceful girl - Qian Ling'er. At this moment, she is playing with the hanging peach branches alone, wearing a moon-white robe, as beautiful as the lotus flower in the middle of summer.

At this time, she pretended to enjoy the flowers, but she leaned back to Luo Yu's shoulder invisibly!

"Boom!"

Luo Yu was stunned at first! But for a moment, the corners of the mouth that was pouting on the grass stalks were slightly upturned, and he continued to look at the rippling lotus pond as if he didn't realize it.

I saw him touch his nose and ask Todd next to him, "Uh... Senior Brother Tao, why didn't you catch up with the exam last time?"

When Todd suddenly heard Luo Yu's words, he immediately frowned, and there was a look of hesitation on his face, which was immediately replaced by a look of frustration and shame.

At this moment, Qian Ling'er looked at it, saw Tao De's appearance, and couldn't hold back for a while, and laughed out loud and teased: "Most of the time I felt unsure halfway through, so I hesitated, hesitated and missed the time, Senior Brother Tao, you said Ling'er guessed right?"

After listening to Qian Ling'er's words, seeing that he was smiling, Todd buried his head deeper, and just kept pulling the poor tender grass that had just grown in front of him.

Seeing this, Luo Yu turned his head and glared at Qian Ling'er, while the latter stuck out his tongue, and then smiled obediently, and quietly listened to Luo Yu and said: "Senior Brother Tao, how can there be something unspeakable between you and me? ”

After speaking, Luo Yu looked at Todd with a serious face.

Todd raised his head, but secretly glanced at the figure beside Luo Yu's shoulder, and finally sighed melancholy, his eyes slowly became distracted, looking at the already calm blue water lotus pond in front of him, as if the past was vivid, and he couldn't look back: "Last year, the examination was approaching, and the candidates in Qingqiu Town had to rush to Quzhong City to take the examination. Quzhong City is thousands of miles away, so I set off in advance to catch the exam. And all the way through the mountains and rivers, the rest of the month to the south bank of the Zhanghe River. ”

Speaking of this, Tao De seemed to have a hesitant look on his face, Luo Yu and Qian Ling'er looked at each other, and did not bother, only waited patiently.

Sure enough, after a moment, Todd gritted his teeth and continued: "That day, when I saw that it was getting late, I stayed at a fisherman's house. But that same day, I had three strange dreams in a row, and now I think back on it very clearly. This first dream was actually a dream that I had planted cabbage on the wall; this second dream was that on a rainy day, I put on a hat but still couldn't help but pick up a tarpaulin umbrella; and this third dream... This... This third dream is that I am lying in bed with a beautiful woman, but it is back to back, as if I have never seen each other!"

Hearing this, Luo Yu couldn't hold back his laughter, and burst out laughing: "This dream is interesting!"

But beside her, Qian Ling'er turned slightly red, lowered her head and muttered softly: "What's interesting? I'm ashamed to die...... ”

Seeing this, Todd looked embarrassed, shook his head and sighed bitterly, and said, "Yes, I tossed and turned that day and couldn't sleep again." Before dawn, I hurried to Quzhong City and found a fortune teller to interpret my dreams. But when the fortune teller heard this, he persuaded: 'When I look at you, I know that you are the one who is rushing for the exam, so you better go home'!"

Qian Ling'er suddenly asked curiously: "Why did the fortune teller call you home?"

Qian Ling'er was inquiring with resentment, obviously annoyed that the arithmetic master persuaded Tao De to return.

Todd heard Qian Ling'er's inquiry, and nodded in agreement: "At that time, I also had the same doubt, but the fortune teller said: 'Tell you to go back so that you don't have nothing to gain, and think about it, isn't it in vain to grow vegetables on the wall? Isn't it superfluous to wear a hat and an umbrella? And lie down with a beautiful woman, back to back, like a stranger, isn't that no fun?' When I heard the words of the arithmetic, I was immediately disheartened, and I didn't know why I left Quzhong City. When I reacted and wanted to try again, I realized that it was outdated, so I ....... ”

After speaking, Tao De glanced at Qian Ling'er and Luo Yu, looked at the two of them with wide eyes, a surprised expression, only to feel that his face was as hot as fire, and he lowered his head in shame, at this moment he was even more eager to find a hole to get into.

After listening to what Tao De said at this time, Luo Yu looked at Tao De with a surprised face as if he had been struck by lightning, and at the same time quietly gave a thumbs up to the fortune teller in his heart, "I'll go, this is okay?" This fortune teller said a word, and Senior Brother Tao ran back in a gloomy manner! This is three points more powerful than the teacher's ring ruler... No, the teacher's precepts are beyond the reach of the dust! There are really mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people... Long insight, long insight, hehe~ If you have the opportunity in the future, you must visit this master and ask for advice. ’

And just when Luo Yu was shocked by the fortune teller in his heart, Qian Ling'er said angrily: "Hmph~ Senior Brother Tao, how can you believe the words of a Jianghu arithmetic, no wonder grandpa said that you are honest and rigid, if you don't grind, it is difficult to become a great tool." If Grandpa is here, he will use a ring ruler to beat your hands into a 'bear's paw' ....... ”

Qian Ling'er was angry and unwilling for Tao De at the same time, but when she saw Tao De becoming more and more depressed and ashamed, she suddenly couldn't bear it. Thinking of this, she rolled her eyes to look at Luo Yu, and at the same time touched him with her shoulder. When Luo Yu looked over, Qian Ling'er pursed her lips at Tao De and smiled deeply.

And Luo Yu looked at Tao De, who was burying his head in despair at the moment, and his heart was also unbearable. 'Hey, if it was placed in the previous life, it is estimated that the fortune-telling was good, and naturally it was all listened to in the ears and in the heart, and it was called the master. If this is not a good result, most of the people will not want to believe it, and they will have to offer a charlatan, and maybe they will have to ridicule it. But who is called born here now, he knows that people today can't say that they can fully believe in the words of this arithmetic, but they are not far from ten. It seems that in order to help Senior Brother Tao recover the decline, this disease must be eradicated from the root. ’

Thinking of this, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said with a free smile: "Senior Brother Tao, in fact, you don't have to believe the words of the warlocks in the rivers and lakes. If you mention the way of dream interpretation, the teacher also said that Yu has also learned a thing or two. Now listening to the three dreams described by Senior Brother Tao, Yu can also solve them, but it is the opposite of what the fortune teller said. ”

Suddenly hearing that the teacher would do the same, and the little junior brother actually understood, Tao De immediately looked up at Luo Yu, and said with a look of surprise: "Oh, junior brother, did the teacher really teach you?"

When Luo Yu saw Todd ask like this, his heart suddenly became happy. He knew that Todd respected his teacher the most, and he was even more obedient, and it was most appropriate to use the teacher as an introduction.

Seeing Todd ask, Luo Yu nodded with a confident smile on his face, looked at Todd and nodded.

And Tao Defu glanced at Qian Ling'er, and when he saw Qian Ling'er's smart phoenix eyes, he instantly looked at him as if he was evading. The latter, on the other hand, smiled triumphantly as if he were victorious.

At this moment, Luo Yu's voice of relief came: "Senior brother believes it or not, wait for the junior brother to try it and know the truth or falsehood." ”

When Tao De heard this, he immediately urged: "Senior brother, come quickly." ”

Looking at Todd, who was full of anticipation, Luo Yu thought about it for a while, and then said confidently: "First of all, the senior brother returned empty-handed because of the three dreams, and Yu felt that it was a pity. The senior brother should have stayed at that time, and if so, he would be among the top three. ”

Todd was shocked when he heard this: "Oh, why is the junior brother so sure?"

Luo Yu looked at Tao De, who looked surprised, but there was a look of doubt in his eyes, and his expression was still full of confidence, and he continued: "Senior Brother Tao, please think, one dream, isn't it the right thing to grow vegetables on the wall in response to high school? , doesn't it mean that the time for the senior brother to turn over is coming?hahaha~~~"

When Todd heard this, his face suddenly turned red!

Immediately, he suddenly woke up and was stunned.

After a while, Todd showed remorse on his face, and blamed himself angrily: "No wonder the teacher didn't want to teach me three years ago, I am so stupid, insulting the teacher, and insulting the reputation of the immortal master." ”

Luo Yu didn't expect that his nonsense would make him blame himself so much, so he hurriedly reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said with relief: "Senior Brother Tao, if this is the case, the teacher will not accept you in the first place, so why will you come in the future? Don't blame yourself so much, it goes against the teacher's ardent expectations for you." ”

After Luo Yu finished speaking, he secretly winked at Qian Ling'er.

Qian Ling'er nodded in her eyes and immediately understood the meaning, stretched out her hand over him and pushed down Tao De, who was blaming himself at the moment: "Tao De, grandpa said that you are loyal, and you are an honest gentleman." But it is also said that jade is not a tool, what you lack is not knowledge, but ups and downs and experience. So three years ago, grandpa stopped teaching you, that is, he wanted you to go out and sharpen more, but unfortunately you didn't understand what he meant, and Tao Bo blindly wanted you to return to the door, don't you know that you can read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles? ”

After Qian Ling'er finished speaking, she stopped paying attention to Tao De, and turned her head away in a pretended to be angry.

When Todd heard the end, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Qian Ling'er and Luo Yu, while Luo Yu smiled and nodded at Todd, who had already woken up at this moment.

Seeing this, Tao De suddenly changed his previous decline, and said with resolute eyes: "Xiao Yu, Ling'er, what you said is right, I... I'm going to go out and have some experience. Although this peach blossom village is beautiful and intoxicating, it is not a place for me to be safe. I want to go out and see the outside world, and after three years, Xiao Yu and we will meet in Quzhong City, and then you and I will go to the autumn test together, to compete for the champion, to see who wins. ”

After Tao De finished speaking, he looked at Luo Yu, Luo Yu caught it in an instant, and Tao De's eyes looked at Qian Ling'er. smiled knowingly, stretched out his palm and said freely: "The promise of a gentleman, as a high-five." ”

When Tao De saw it, he stretched out his palm and smiled: "A gentleman is hard to chase after a horse." ”

"Smack!"

Their palms clasped together, and they both laughed heartily.
