When he returned home in a trance, his brain was buzzing, and he didn't even hear Su Ling call him clearly.

"Brother Jin, Brother Jin, it's time for dinner!"

Dinner was very simple, still a pot of wild vegetable porridge, but with a little more rice and a little thicker.

Looking at the bowl of porridge in front of him, Chen Tang thought about things in his heart and didn't move his chopsticks.

"Brother Jin, eat quickly, it will be dark soon. ”

I can't light up the lights at home, and at night, I can't see.

Chen Tang calmed down a little, picked up the bowl for a while, finished eating, washed his face casually, and lay down on the bed, thinking about what happened today:

As an inactive young man in the new society, his three views have always been very positive, and now this surreal strange thing has happened, which makes him understand:

This world is not normal!

But when I think about it, coming into this world by myself is quite abnormal. Therefore, if it comes, it will be safe, and there is nothing that cannot be accepted.

He got up again, picked up the three books given by Chen Song, leaned to the window, and began to read them in the faint light.

The three books are all commentaries on the scriptures, in fact, they are Chen Song's reading notes, experiences, etc., and there is not much unique content recorded on them, most of them are clichés.

Chen Tang looked at it and was disappointed in his heart.

But come to think of it, if Chen Songwen is talented, I'm afraid that he will be a lifelong showman?

It's not that the three books are useless, some of the insights in them are all based on experience, and they are about the test, which is exactly what Chen Tang lacks.

After a while, Chen Tang went back to bed, and subconsciously stroked the bruises on his wrists with both hands. It doesn't hurt anymore, and hopefully when I wake up, it will be gone tomorrow.

The next day, Chen Tang wrapped eleven yuan of silk gold, sent it to the teacher's home, and kowtowed in front of the teacher's spirit, put incense, and performed disciple salutes......

After doing this, after leaving, I did not go to the state capital to make a living, but went home.

Su Ling is not here, he should go picking wild fruits.

Back in the room, Chen Tang rolled up his sleeves and saw two purple-black bruises, the color seemed to be darker than yesterday.

Reaching out and touching it, I felt that the skin was hard and slightly convex, which was very weird.

He gasped and thought to himself: What the hell is this? I have no grievances with the teacher, and I can even be said to be his protégé, why do you want to harm me when he dies?

No, he shouldn't be trying to harm me, but also giving me instructions, and giving away books......

Chen Tang was puzzled.

If it is an ordinary bruise, it will disappear after a day or two of recuperation; if Chen Song has a grudge in his heart, Chen Tang also went to kowtow in front of the spirit, and also sealed the silk gold of 11 cents - according to the rules, it must be singular.

Eleven yuan is not much, but Chen Tang has a net worth of more than 20 yuan, and nearly half of it was given out at once, and the rest is only enough for two or three days.

However, the two bruises showed no signs of relief, which was enough to indicate that the crux of the problem was not here.

Thinking to no avail, Chen Tang sighed and continued to flip through the three books, hoping to find the answer to the problem.

I don't know if it was because of the fusion of souls, which led to some transformation? Or is it because of other reasons, Chen Tang is now reading books very fast, his thinking is sharp, and his memory has also been greatly improved, and it only took more than an hour to read the three books word for word.

In fact, each book is more than 10,000 words.

In the past, Chen Tang spent his spare time reading long works on the Internet, and millions of words were available at every turn. It's a tiny drop in the bucket compared to that.

After reading it, he was sure that the three books were the notes that the teacher usually made, and they had nothing to do with wrist bruises.

It can't be helped.

Chen Tang stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead, looking depressed.

"Brother Bujin, are you back?"

Su Ling's voice came, and she stood outside the door, holding a bunch of fruits in her hand, pale red, washed clean, like a bunch of agate.

Chen Tang recognized that the name of this fruit was "Mountain Red", which tasted sweet and sour and had a good taste.

"Why don't you come in?"

"I'm afraid of disturbing my brother to read. ”

"Come in, I've finished reading. ”

Su Ling entered the room with the fruit a little timidly: "Brother Jin, eat the fruit." ”

Chen Tang looked at her, a thirteen-year-old little girl, her body was as good as her mother, not short, but she had been malnourished for a long time, her body was thin and thin, her clothes were covered with patches, her long hair was pulled up and stuck with a branch, her little face was washed clean, and she was a little tanned, but her eyebrows were clear, she smiled, and she had a small dimple on each cheek, which was very cute.

Looking at him, Su Ling lowered her head with a little blush, and her little hands kept rubbing the corners of her clothes.

Chen Tang ate the fruit, sour and refreshed, and praised: "It's delicious." ”

Su Ling's eyes lit up: "Now in summer, the fruit is gradually ripe, Brother Bujin likes to eat it, I will pick it for you every day." ”

Chen Tang hurriedly said: "I heard that the place where this fruit grows is quite steep, and there are wild beasts in the mountains, so don't go into the mountains." ”

"I've been climbing mountains since I was a child, so I'm used to it, so don't worry if you don't care. ”

Su Ling said.

Chen Tang sighed: "I don't have the ability, you follow me and suffer." ”

Su Ling hurriedly waved his hand: "Brother Bujin, you helped me so much, and took me in, I am already very satisfied and satisfied." ”

Chen Tang smiled slightly, reached out and touched her hair: "Trust me, tomorrow will be better, we will definitely live a good life." ”

"Hmm!"

Su Ling nodded heavily, with a resolute expression.

In order to "tomorrow will be better", early the next morning, Chen Tang got up, ate wild vegetable porridge, and rushed to the state capital with a book on his back. When I arrived at Hanmo Street, I set up a small stall with a look of anticipation.

But the popularity of Hanmo Street is already sparse, and I haven't seen anyone come for a long time.

After paying the booth fee, there are only a few pennies left in his pocket, and he is really poor. I remembered that the rice jar at home had bottomed out, and if I didn't have a business today, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to eat wild vegetable porridge, so I could only drink wild vegetable soup.

Chen Tang was secretly a little anxious, but there was no use in being anxious about business, and the market was still not open when it was almost noon.

"Dao Ye go slowly!"

In a calligraphy and painting shop in front of him, the guy very politely sent a Taoist priest out.

The Taoist priest was about forty years old, with three short beards, a dignified appearance, wearing a gossip robe, holding a pole flag, which read: Iron mouth god calculation, drive away evil spirits and destroy delusion.

It turned out to be a fortune teller.

Walking out of the calligraphy and painting shop, the Taoist priest walked to this side, and when he walked in front of Chen Tang's stall, he suddenly stopped.

Chen Tang was overjoyed, thinking that there was business coming to his door and was waiting to be greeted, so he heard the Taoist priest say, "This scholar, have you encountered something strange recently?"

Hearing this, Chen Tang couldn't help but be discouraged, his own family had no business to do, but others had done the business on his own head, and he was about to wave his hand to drive people away, when he suddenly remembered the teacher's matter, he couldn't help but hesitate, and asked, "What do you see?"

The Taoist priest stroked his beard very stylishly and said, "I feel the evil spirit in you. ”

"Evil?"

Chen Tang was suddenly not calm.
