40 Night Encounters
A delay on the mountain, slow down the foot of Lanshan, when you come to the archway of Fojiao Town, it is already the moon bend like a hook hanging high branches, Lanshan hand holding the corridor pillar silently stopped, as if in the junction of the two sides of the world and the earth, the mountains and forests behind you are secluded, the insects sing at night, the lights of thousands of homes in front of you, as bright as the galaxy.
It is the time when the lights are on, and the town is sparsely populated, less noisy and lively during the day, and more quiet and peaceful.
There are not many lively places in the town of Buddha's feet at night, because it is adjacent to the Hanging Temple, the monks and believers come and go frequently, the people of the Buddha's feet are simple and kind, although the town has not explicitly prohibited the brothel casino, but no one dares to blatantly violate the taboo of Buddhism, in addition, the restrictions on the town's wine shops are relatively relaxed, and the Xinghuacun restaurant on the cross street has become the only pastime for the townspeople to call friends and companions.
Luo Xian is a gangster in the town, and today he took a shit luck and blackmailed a few taels of silver from a few honest outsiders, which solved the dilemma of being shy in his pocket for many days.
The dog's stomach can't hide two taels of sesame oil, and the scoundrel's money bag is hot and burns his hands.
Seeing that there were sparse people on the street, and only one person was walking alone, he plucked his left and right partners and made a total of one vote, so that the meal in Japan would be settled.
A few drunkards with hot faces staggered towards Lanshan, and Luo Xian intentionally or unintentionally slanted towards Lanshan's arms.
Arashiyama turned his shoulders and calmly gave way to understatement.
Luo Xian was calculating but pounced, and for a while he was top-heavy and overforced, seeing that he was about to plant himself on the steps under the corridor, Lan Shan's eyes were quick, and he reached out to Luo Xian's shoulder, and stabilized his figure.
Lan Shan helped with righteousness, which was supposed to save Luo Xian from a tragic accident, but he didn't appreciate it, and sat on the ground, firmly climbed Lan Shan's thigh with one hand, and raised it in front of Lan Shan with the other hand, grinning loudly and screaming.
"If you hit someone, you want to leave, and there is still this truth in the world. Lose money!"
The remaining three or five drunks surrounded Lanshan, one by one shirtless, showing a tattoo of a dragon and a phoenix, shouting and coaxing, and the momentum was violent.
Lan Shan's brows slowly raised, and the gloom between his eyebrows gradually thickened, and he took a deep look at Luo Xian, who was wrapped in the ground, and shook his head and sighed lightly.
Luo Xian watched Lan Shan's every move, and saw him stretch out his hand to grope his sleeve, his face was happy, and he raised his hand upwards and leaned towards Lan Shan.
Lan Shan twisted his eyebrows and pursed his lips, and took out a ring ruler of a certain length from his sleeve, and his hands rose and fell, and the rulers and palms struck each other, crisp and pleasant.
Smack!
Luo Xian couldn't put it away, he was hit several times, and there was a burst of hot numbness and pain in his palm, Luo Xian was a person who couldn't bear pain, and he was busy putting it on his lips and snorting.
"Is it enough?" Arashiyama leaned down and smiled.
Luo Xian blinked drunken eyes, through the hazy lights upstairs, carefully looked at the person in front of him, after a few breaths, Luo Xian's sloppy eyes suddenly shrank, a chill on his body, hurriedly let go of the entangled hands and feet, knelt down, and the words in his mouth were also stumbling, unable to form a sentence.
"Old, old, teacher. I said it's a joke, do you believe it?"
When the drunks around heard what Luo Xian said, they all shook their bodies, and their surging arrogance suddenly withered, and they moved to Luo Xian's side one by one tremblingly, raised their hands slipperily, and knelt in a row.
"Luo Xian, Ge Chao, Jiang Qingsong, Gu Can, Xu Jun. Lan Shan tapped his palm, glanced at the five people in front of him, and called out their names one by one, his words were calm, and it was difficult to see emotions.
The person named only felt that his scalp was numb, and he had been with teachers and students for three years when he was a child, and he knew that the teacher in front of him was usually amiable and did not punish him easily, but once he was happy and angry, he was really angry.
At the moment, all the drunkards were silent, cold sweat was surging on their foreheads, and the wine they drank was also emitted from their pores, becoming more and more sober, and kneeling more and more thoughtfully, bowing their heads and ears, waiting for the teacher's stormy anger.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
Five crisp sounds sounded one after another, and the faces of everyone kneeling on the ground twitched, but there was no pain in their palms, and they looked at each other in confusion, but they didn't dare to look directly at Lanshan.
"If the son does not teach, the father's fault, the teaching is not strict, and the teacher is lazy! One day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father, today you and other faults are all on me, and I have received it on behalf of my disciples, and it should be. β
Lan Shan shook his head and smiled bitterly, seeing the five people in Luotuo, he was worried, and the five ruler marks on his left hand were deep into the bones, and the blood was dripping.
Everyone was ashamed when they saw this, and they couldn't help but cry when they couldn't help but cry.
Luo walked a few steps on his knees, tore off the strip of cloth from the placket, and wrapped Lanshan's wounds in a panic.
"Teacher, preaching and teaching, conscientious, it is the students who are stupid and unruly, and the misguided way makes the teacher shameless, although you want to beat and scold, and don't hurt your heart and body for a few of us who are not successful. β
Luo Xian slapped himself twice, and respected this teacher from the bottom of his heart, Lanshan teaches apprentices without class, and never treats them differently, and he is a good example, students from poor families, as long as they are studious and progressive, Lanshan will also exempt tuition fees as appropriate, and there are many subsidies on weekdays.
Luo Xian's family was poor back then, and he was not less taken care of by the teacher, and he used to be motivated and studious, but later he participated in the township test, and repeatedly failed.
The rest of the people, most of the situation is similar, most of them are in a bad situation, everyone huddles together to keep warm, and they have never bullied the countryside on weekdays, at most they deceive people from other townspeople, blackmail some spare money, and barely improve their lives.
Luo Xian still felt a lot of guilt about Lanshan in his heart, and felt that he had the expectations of his teacher, even if he saw Lanshan from afar on weekdays, he would hide his face and hide away as soon as possible, for fear that he would come to the teacher and be asked by his teacher how his studies were recently.
"Do you still have the heart to study and improve?" Lan Shan looked at the neat bandage in his hand, his heart warmed, and his face gradually eased a lot.
Luo Xian was ashamed, and said astringently:
"Teacher, the disciple has abandoned learning for a long time, and now his stomach is empty, and even if he has the heart, he can't learn. β
"It's not too late, the sea of bitterness is endless, and the precipice is good. I'm going to be away from town soon, so I can travel with you if you want. β
"The disciple is willing to go!" "The disciple is willing to go!"
Lan Shan noticed Luo Xian, Ge Chao expressed his position at the moment, without hesitation, and the remaining three hesitated slightly, and they did not force it.
"If you really don't want to leave your hometown, stay away from your family, and don't force yourself to be a teacher, I just hope that you will not change your heart in front of the reform, if you really have a difficult livelihood, you can go to Lin Xi, the shopkeeper of Xinghua Village, he is your little junior brother, and he will sincerely plan a legitimate livelihood for you. β
Lan Shan stood with his hands in his hands, mentioning his proud protΓ©gΓ© Lin Xi, his face was full of relief, and he waved his hand and said: "If you are willing to go with me, in the early morning of the day after tomorrow, you can wait for me in the archway of Zhenkou. β
"Teacher Xie taught!" everyone stood in solemn clothes.
"Well, go back as soon as possible, and don't cause another evil. β
Lan Shan put his hands in his hands, and walked away, and all the disciples stood in place and watched for a long time.
......
There are miscellaneous things in the heart of Lanshan, unconsciously came to the cross street, looked up, has come to the Xinghua Village restaurant, the door hangs on the door plaque Xinghua Village three big characters, handsome and dusty, is Lanshan drunk after the proud work.
When he saw both sides of the gate, Lan Shan couldn't help frowning, a little displeased, originally asked where the restaurant was, and the shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village that the couplet had been replaced.
Shanglian: Unai Qingge accompanied by Qiong Jelly, and the swordsman of the Eight Directions
Downlink: Taibai is full of flowers, and everyone is drunk to see autumn clothes
The pen walks the dragon and snake, the sword is full of intent, and the breath of rivers and lakes that comes to the face is Jingqing's handwriting at a glance.
The restaurant is lit up with lights, noisy and noisy.
Jing Qing and Lin Xi, a disciple of the closed door, stood under the eaves, looking indifferent to Yue Pinming.
Qingyunzi, who had not healed from his injuries, sat on the threshold, and did not get up when he saw Lanshan coming, pouting, his eyes were a little resentful.
Lan Shan saw that the tea cup in Lin Xi's hand was no longer ethereal and hot, and knew that the three of them had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Sir!" Lin Xi saw Lan Shan pacing far away, hurriedly put the tea set in his hand on the windowsill on the side, walked quickly, and greeted him from the steps.
Seeing that Lin Xi was happy to welcome Lanshan, Jing Qing's expression was just instantaneous, but he didn't open his mouth to stop it, after all, there was a precedence in preaching, and Lin Xi's performance at this time was also reasonable.
Lan Shan patted Lin Xi on the shoulder with satisfaction, and asked Lin Xi, a proud disciple, about his arm.
Lin Xi and Sen Luo in front of him have the same appearance, but their temperaments are very different, one is arrogant and stubborn, and the other is gentle and elegant.
If the two of them try their best to hide the subtle expression habits, even if Lan Shan has known each other for many years, it will be difficult to distinguish clearly, because the two have the same heart, and they are originally the same person.
When the fake is true, it is also false, and when it is true, it is also true. Lan Shan thought to himself in his heart, and he couldn't help but have some mixed tastes.
Jing Qing floated in, brushed away Lan Shan's left hand without a trace, just took a small step forward, and half hid Lin Xi behind him, and at the same time raised his eyebrows at Lan Shan, smiling playfully.
"Lanshan, I have to say that your vision for picking apprentices is acceptable. β
Lanshan had already learned from Sen Luo that Lin Xi had already entered the Jingqing Gate Wall, and before he went to the peak, Jingqing deliberately took Lin Xi with him, which was intriguing.
"It can only show that we have the same good vision!"
"It's interesting!" Jing Qing laughed, full of happiness, glanced at the restaurant with the door open behind him, and invited him: "Senior brother, have a drink?"
"If you don't get drunk, you won't go home?"
"If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!"
Lan Shan also smiled at the banquet, glanced at Jing Qing, looked at each other and smiled, the two of them put their arms together, but when they came to the threshold of the restaurant, Lan Shan suddenly stopped.
"Qingyunzi, get out of the way!" Jing Qing glared at Qingyunzi who was blocking the way, and his tone was a little uneasy.
Qingyunzi stood up and put his interest aside.
Lan Shan shook his head, first smiled apologetically at Qing Yunzi, then patted the back of Jing Qing's hand, and said slowly: "Or, change one?"
"Why is that?" Jing Qing was a little puzzled, and glanced at Lan Shan with a little confusion.
"Lin Xi's business tavern is short, and it is not easy to reserve old wine, so he can't let the two old drunkards waste it all in vain!"
"This is reasonable!" Jing Qing stroked his beard and laughed, and looked at Lin Xi with Lan Shan, his eyes full of relief.
"Sir, teacher......"
"Where's the good wine?"
"The big family in the town was happy three years ago, and they buried ten jars of apricot blossom village in their backyard, and now the year should be enough. β
"Lead the way. β
"Let's go!"
Suddenly there was a breeze passing through the street, the fallen leaves were swirling, and the figures of the two people had long since disappeared.
