CHAPTER XV
Read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles.
That's what Zhang An said to Zhang Bufu, and that's what he did. But after all, he is a weak scholar, even if he is full of pride in his heart, the road he walks is not out of the corner of Dongzhou. However, the important thing is not to travel thousands of miles, but to travel. Zhang An didn't go out of Dongzhou, but he understood this principle, and Zhang Bufu went to the fourteen states in the southeast and also understood this principle.
It lasted two and a half years, and it was in fourteen states in the southeast.
In the past two and a half years, Zhang Bufu's mind has gradually matured from the young man who has just walked out of the house, as I said before, the things he has experienced are like a carving knife, which can carve your soul clearly.
Traveling thousands of miles, walking is the road, and practicing is the heart. Zhang Anxing is practicing the heart in the corner of Dongzhou, and Zhang Bufu is also practicing the heart in the 14 states in the southeast, riding this horse called remembering, remembering the experience along the way, these are a carving knife that carves the soul, and the knife sees blood and urges people to grow.
Zhang Bufu met a person named Chen Tao on the way. Chen Tao was eighteen years old at the time, dressed in unfit clothes, carrying a big knife, saying that he was going to make a name for himself. Chen Tao's knife skills were loose and ordinary, and Zhang Bufu asked him, since he wanted to make a name for himself, why didn't he practice his knife skills first? Chen Tao said that his knife skills were just not good now, and after a long time in the rivers and lakes, it would be better over time. Zhang Bufu said, in case you meet a bad person, you can't deal with it at all, and since you say it's a bad person, it will naturally not give you a chance to improve, maybe there will be no future when you meet today, so what should you do? Chen Tao thought about it and said It's okay, how can there be so many such people, I shouldn't be able to meet this situation.
Seeing Chen Tao say this sentence as a matter of course, Zhang Bufu looked at his eager face for a long time, and wanted to persuade him, but he knew that it was a waste of words.
Later, Chen Tao joined a Jianghu sect, and then there was no news, and it is estimated that he died.
Zhang Bufu was a little regretful, but after seeing more later, he no longer felt sorry. In this river and lake, many such young people are buried every year, their hearts are higher than the sky, and their lives are thinner than paper.
In the end, those who survived probably didn't have the ambition to make a name for themselves. There are also some people who have really made some names, and they will sigh to the extreme, this is the time and fate, and all of them are indispensable.
The most seen are those who show their eyes and the wealth of people who die and are scattered. We all know that when you go out, yellow and white things can't be exposed, but there are always people who will know whether there will be money and property in your package. Maybe it was a deliberately designed coincidence that you got a good big brother, and you were about to sigh that there was still warmth in the rivers and lakes, and when you turned around, the knife of this good big brother stabbed you. The former is not bad, at least the money can be handed over and he can still keep his life, and the latter? Good big brother has a white knife in and a red knife out, and there is still a life? The only person who died and his wealth was scattered, adding a handful of yellow sand in vain.
There is also a young man, let's call him Ah Tao. has a ruthless body, is not afraid of death, is willing to fight, and is unwilling to live under others, so he helped his brothers to form a gang. With a ruthless body that is not afraid of death, this gang quickly developed.
Originally, a person like Ah Tao who was not afraid of death was an evil character, but now he has a little power in his hands, and he is even more arrogant and domineering. For a while, someone in the door had a lot of complaints about Ah Tao's behavior, and somehow it came to his ears, and he couldn't find out who said it, so Ah Tao directly ordered a batch of people who didn't like it to hack him to death to vent his anger.
A piece of cake is so big, Ah Tao has developed well, and naturally it has affected the interests of the other two gangs in the city, but Ah Tao has become a bit of a climate, and no one wants to fight with him and let the other family pick peaches, but there is constant friction every day, a few are injured today and a few will die tomorrow, so it is not a way to go on like this, so they asked Ah Tao to make peace, and the two families each gave up some territory to Ah Tao, and the three families stopped here.
It's just that Ah Tao didn't seem to be satisfied that someone was on an equal footing with him, so he turned over the table on the spot and threatened to destroy the two families soon, bent on being the emperor of the only family.
Later, the other two families seized the tyrannical characteristics of Ah Tao, bought off one of his personal subordinates, a cup of poisoned wine, and directly tied Ah Tao to the other two to invite merit.
After hearing about this deed, Zhang Bufu could only sigh in his heart: "The rivers and lakes are not about fighting and killing, the rivers and lakes are about the sophistication of human feelings." ”
can only fight and kill, and don't understand the world, this river and lake can't allow you to live for a long time.
People's hearts are unpredictable, and they are deceitful, this is the rivers and lakes.
It lasted two and a half years, and I went to 14 states in the southeast, saw the warmth and coldness of the world, learned about the sophistication of the world, and benefited from the rest of my life.
After two years and nine months away from home, Zhang Bufu returned home for the first time. This time it's a real homecoming, not a run away from someone like last time. also responded to what Zhang Bufu said to his teacher Yu Yi after he recovered from his injury, and when he came back again, he must be holding his head high.
After entering the city, he first prepared a table of good wine and food in the best restaurant in the city, instructed the restaurant to prepare it and send it to his home, and then gave a few taels of silver to the little guy who bowed his head and waist, and asked him to go to the house of the teacher Yu Yi to inform him, saying that Zhang Bufu came back with his head held high this time, and he was waiting at home with good wine and meat and a good gun.
Shuttling in the familiar road in the city, returning to the familiar door, Zhang Bufu stopped, looked at the door of the house that had been absent for nearly three years, and felt very emotional for a while, and unconsciously appeared in his mind the scene when he went out that day, and looked back, everything was like yesterday, and he still remembered it vividly.
"Go early, or come back early. Zhang Bufu said to himself: "Sooner or later, just come back." ”
Entering the door, the sound of reading was in his ears, Zhang Bufu led the horse into the courtyard, cautiously walked outside the study and knocked on the door.
The sound of reading stopped abruptly, "Who?"
Zhang Bufu took a deep breath and adjusted his mood, and his voice trembled slightly: "Dad, it's me." ”
There was an instant sound of tables and chairs rattling in the study, Zhang An opened the door with a bang, and saw Zhang Bufu standing outside the door, his lips trembled slightly, and he couldn't speak.
"Dad, I'm home. Zhang Bufu blinked his moist eyes.
Zhang An kept nodding his head, and his slightly trembling voice kept repeating: "Okay, good, just go home." ”
Children travel thousands of miles, how can parents not worry.
Zhang Bufu wiped his eyes and grinned, "Dad, I have practiced my gun now, I can protect myself and take care of myself, what you said to me before going out, Don't be confused and always remember it in my mind, you see, didn't I come back now? I went to the restaurant to prepare a table of wine and food, which will be delivered soon, and I also called someone to notify the teacher to come over, and when the teacher comes, the three of us will have a good meal." ”
Zhang An replied: "It should be so, it should be so." One day as a teacher and a lifelong father, although your teacher did not formally accept you as an apprentice, but there is already a master and apprentice, you must not forget this kindness, respect your teacher, as a father. ”
Zhang Bufu said solemnly: "The kindness of the father and the grace of the teacher, all of them are remembered in my heart, and I dare not forget it for a moment." ”
Yu Yi arrived soon, and it is estimated that he rushed over as soon as he received the news. Yu Yi stepped into the door with one foot and was just about to speak, when he saw Zhang Bufu, he was stunned, squinted his eyes and looked carefully from head to toe for a long time, before he sighed: "This is not just a good gun, this gun is impressive!"
Zhang Bufu was taken aback, thinking of the strong qi contained in his body, could it be that the teacher could see it with the naked eye alone?
Yu Yi shook his head, stepped forward and patted Zhang Bufu on the shoulder, but did not speak. When he entered the door, what he saw was not Zhang Bufu, it was a gun, a gun that exuded a chilling glow, just standing there, it made people feel intimidating. Yu Yi knew that his disciple must have had some adventures, but Zhang Bufu didn't take the initiative to say such things, so he didn't ask.
At the restaurant, the money should be in place, and the work efficiency is very high, and in less than half an hour, all the ordered wine and food were delivered.
Zhang Bufu poured good wine, invited the two elders to the table, stood up with the wine glass and toasted three glasses in a row.
"The first glass of wine does not confuse the grace of my father's nurturing. ”
"The second glass of wine, do not confuse the grace of the teacher. ”
"The third glass of wine, don't be confused and disrespect the world, respect yourself, and the dragon will come out of the abyss!"
Zhang An and Yu Yi drank all the wine in the cup, and neither asked what the third cup of worship meant by the hidden dragon out of the abyss.
Zhang Bufu weighed it in his heart for a long time on the way here, and finally decided not to tell his father and teacher about Xiuzhen. One is that this matter is too illusory to explain. Twenty-two old people are old, it is not appropriate to get involved in such things, this road is destined to be not smooth, if you tell the truth, it will only increase the worry of the two elders.
Zhang An said: "Dad said before that you are different from Dad, and you can choose your next path." Now that you have reached the crown, Dad will say one more thing, no matter what choice you make, as long as you think it is right, it is right, if a man is alive, if he has no ambition, will he not waste his natural seven-foot male body?
Yu Yi also said: "Your father and I are already a handful of years, and this life is like this, as your father said, you are different, you don't need to worry so much in your heart, just do it." ”
Zhang Bufu listened to all of them, and his thoughts were understood a lot. In this experience, the red dust is too heavy, Zhang Bufu is looking for a suitable place to cultivate his mind, and then cultivate the qi to perfection, he still has many scruples in his heart, but today he was broken by the words of his father and teacher.
Zhang Bufu was silent for a moment, and finally made a decision: "Dad, teacher, when I come back this time, I may have to leave home in a few days." ”
Zhang An and Yu Yi looked at each other and said with a smile.
"Just do it. ”
