The words say:

Huabiao Liaodong language, Ding Ling's old hometown. Going home for a thousand years is like love. A little red dust, a piece of laughter, love fee management. The young man is full of bows, and the white crane is light.

Mountains and streams, peach blossom banks, Wulingqing; Too much to find but not see, Gao Shisi was unsuccessful, and this matter is not clear. There are days in the encounter, so why bother to be too clear.

- Proposed to be composed "Water Tune Song Head".

It turns out that there are really immortals in this world, and today my family has met immortals!

- This is the unanimous opinion of the old couple. The husband and wife fell to their knees and kowtowed to the empty chairs. After knocking, the old man said to his wife: "Mother, you can't talk about this." ”

"Then when someone asks, how do we answer?"

He said that the child's illness had not been cured, and the white-clothed man felt that his face was dull and left quietly. ”

"What kind of white-clothed scholar? He is Xiaohai's master, isn't it ruining his reputation to say this? It's a pity that we don't know what the name of the immortal is. The old man's wife complained a little about the old man, but in the end she also agreed with the old man's proposition.

At that moment, the couple went out of the house, came to the yard, and saw Xiao Bangs shooting and playing. At this time, it was already the end of the unitary hour, and the sunset that was about to set reflected the courtyard red, and the whole body of the little bangs was reflected red by the afterglow of the sunset, and a small face was even more red.

The old couple was happy, looked at each other, did not speak, just looked silently, and saw that their son Liu Haikou was reciting words, and a small bow two feet long appeared in his hand for a while, and several arrows two feet long appeared in his hand for a while. The old man secretly counted ten arrows with a bow.

After watching it for a while, the old man called for the child to come over.

Little bangs ran over and said excitedly, "Dad, Dad, you see I shot a sparrow!"

When the old man heard this, he was surprised: "What, you can shoot a sparrow?"

In the old man's opinion, his son is not in good health, and he has not taught him archery, with this small bow and arrow, a baby who has not practiced archery can shoot sparrows, at most it is just an accidental coincidence.

Little Bangs seemed to see that the old man didn't care about the sparrow he had shot, so he ran over and picked up the sparrow on the ground, ran over and handed it to the old man, and said proudly: "Abba, Abba! Look, it's this sparrow!"

The old man took it and looked at it, but he was also surprised in his heart: this arrow hit the neck of the sparrow, and if it was a coincidence, I am afraid it was not so coincidental. He was muttering, when he heard the little bangs climb on himself and ask, "Abba, where is my master?"

"Your master is gone. ”

"Why didn't I see Master go out?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" The old man interrupted Xiao Liu's words: "Haizi, today's apprenticeship, as well as what your master taught you, must be the same as the things explained to the old man of Jingyaotang, you can't say it!"

The old man spoke solemnly and his expression was serious. He wanted to say a few more words to his son, but he heard someone outside the hospital shouting, "Open the door!"

When the old man heard the voice, he knew that it was Patriarch Liu, so he hurriedly stepped forward. Opening the door, Patriarch Liu looked uncertain and asked unhappily:

"I've been calling at your door for a long time, but why haven't you moved—didn't you hear me call you? You don't want to shame my old face, do you!?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, Second Uncle, it's not that I ignore your old man, but we really haven't heard anyone call the door. Besides, the courtyard door is not locked, so you can just push it open. ”

"What?!The courtyard door is not locked, why can't it be opened," Patriarch Liu was taken aback, not knowing what to think in his heart, but he asked anxiously: "What about the white-clothed Xiangshi?"

"Gone. "The old man said honestly.

"Oops!" Patriarch Liu sighed, "The three of us old immortals together, we think that the white-clothed man is very unusual. I'm here to invite him——, Oh, it's a pity! ”

"What's the matter that makes your old man so anxious?"

"When did the priest leave?"

"It's been a moment since I left. ”

"Nonsense! I've been waiting at the gate of your courtyard for nearly two moments—I haven't seen anyone come out!" Patriarch Liu was even more surprised.

"Shiqi, you tell me the truth, what the hell is going on? When this Xiangshi entered the village, the sentry at the entrance of the village did not find it, and no one saw it when he left; Shiqi, this is a big matter in our village, and you can't hide it from me. ”

The old man glanced at his wife helplessly, and the old girl gave her a look, which meant that she couldn't say that she was killed.

At that time, he said dissatisfiedly: "You two don't give me sloppy eyes, the matter is very important, otherwise I wouldn't have come to your house in a hurry." Do you want me to invite you to the village hall to tell the truth?!"

The village old hall is the place where the village deliberates, and the matters discussed are all major events in the village, of course, including the punishment of clansmen who violate the ban.

The old man was not happy when he heard it, "Second uncle, I didn't do anything to be sorry for everyone, why should I be punished?"

"It's not a punishment, it's the village elder who wants to ask us! Do you know, today there is news from the city that the people of Shanbei are coming to beat us. ”

"Why do you want to fight? Besides, I don't know if the news is true or not. ”

"Shiqi!" Patriarch Liu said solemnly, "Can't you even believe us?" You can also see that I'm getting older, and our family will choose a new patriarch next—

Over the years, our surname Liu has counted you as having a sixth-level meritorious service, and in terms of ability, you are also the most optimistic. You don't even understand that, do you?"

"Second uncle, I'm afraid, this, this, hey," the old man looked at his wife—squeaked. The old girl took over the conversation: "Second uncle, your old man should come to the house and sit down and talk." ”

After coming to the house and sitting down, Patriarch Liu spoke: "Shiqi, do you have any concerns about your husband and wife?"

"Second uncle, this thing is too strange, his mother and I both think that the white-clothed Xiangshi we met is a fairy. But if this is said, who will believe it, and it will not be killed by others, so my husband and wife discussed it - resolutely not to say it. ”

At that moment, the two of them chose to tell the old patriarch about the strange things. The old patriarch listened silently, "I guess it's really an immortal." Tomorrow we will go to the village hall to discuss, and by the way, we will not go out hunting until tomorrow. It is necessary to prevent the outskirts of the village from having big fierce beasts that have not yet retreated into the mountains. ”

Then the three of them talked for a while, and Patriarch Liu said, "I'll wait for you in the village hall tomorrow, and you can bring Xiaohai with you." ”

The next day, the old couple and Xiao Liuhai had breakfast and came to the village old hall.

In front of me is an independent courtyard in the center of the village, with a total of two courtyards. A plaque is hung at the gate, and the three big characters of "Village Old Hall" are written on it.

There is a hall in the courtyard at the first entrance, and there is a plaque in the hall, which reads "Sanyi Gong Palace";

It turned out that the ancestors of this village, Liu, Zhang, and Wang, the three righteous brothers, helped each other to flee here, and there were only three families at that time. After more than 200 years of breeding, there are now more than 100 families.

The current three surnames each have a patriarch, all inherit the ancestral teachings, and the selection of the patriarch is mainly based on the opinions of the surname, combined with the opinions of the other two surnames, and finally elected by the three surnames.

The three patriarchs are also three village elders, one surnamed one, and they are jointly in charge of village affairs; later, the three surnames discussed with each other to build this palace, which was named "Sanyi Gong Palace".

The main hall of the Sanyi Gong Hall is flanked by wings and courtyards, and it is also a literacy school in the village, and a special person is responsible for teaching children under the age of nine in the village.

There are three men in the West Cross Courtyard called "literacy teachers", who are responsible for teaching the children of the village between the ages of seven and nine, teaching them etiquette and literacy, with a focus on teaching the children to read and write, reaching 5,000 and being able to read the scriptures collected in the village.

There are three middle-aged women in the East Cross Courtyard, who are called "Jiaomu", who are responsible for teaching children from two or three to five or six years old in the village, and also take care of the children of each family.

The literacy teacher himself is also responsible for studying all the scriptures that can be collected in the village, and the results of the research are given to the whole village to study. In fact, there are not many of these scriptures, and they are martial arts books handed down from the ancestors in the village. These three are the most knowledgeable and martial arts people below the three elders in the village.

Children between the ages of nine and twelve study in the second courtyard after the main hall. This courtyard is actually a big martial arts arena.

There are also three men here who are also called "godmasters", all of whom are masters of the village, who are responsible for teaching the children of the village martial arts, learning hunting, fighting, horseback riding, archery and other skills.

Children over the age of 12 are expected to go out of the village with the village adults, mainly to participate in hunting and other work, and are taught by the three captains of the village's hunters. Sometimes I also go to the limited farmland on this hill to learn how to grow crops.

The old man knew about this. He was originally a recognized candidate for the captain of the hunter in the village, and he was also the successor in the heart of the patriarch Liu, but since the situation of his wife and children, the state and spirit of the old man have gone down, and the people in the village understand him, so they have not asked him to lead the team to hunt, but he has not contributed less.

When the old family arrived at the village old hall, the sound of children reading in the east and west courtyards was already heard. The three elders were chatting at the door, chatting about the affairs of the old man's family.

So the old man and the three elders gave a salute, and after questioning each other, they entered the hall together.

Patriarch Liu said what he heard from the old man yesterday evening again, and the three elders discussed while talking, and in the end they were all happy, and they unanimously decided that they had met immortals.

Patriarch Wang said: "Yesterday, I got a message that was conveyed to the village elders in various parts of the city, and the people of Shanbei are coming to beat us. Our ancestors have lived here for two or three hundred years, and we have experienced three or four times of animal tide shocks, and we have resisted them all, so how can we let the people of Shanbei occupy our homeland. ”

"Lao Wang, don't worry now!"

Before Patriarch Wang finished speaking, Patriarch Liu took over and said happily: "Xiao Liu Hai is an immortal apprentice, and he will have grown up in ten years. With the patronage of the immortals, our village will not suffer. ”

"Ten years later, the war will be fought, and now I will get the news, this is too unreliable!" said the old man, in fact, the old man knew the news better than others, after all, Mag Xiuyuan had told him personally.

The old man said disapprerovingly: "Supposedly, I did have a small battle with the Shanbei people when I was a battalion soldier, and the Shanbei people are not good." ”

Patriarch Zhang took over the conversation, "Old man, it's not what you said! This news is said to have come from an envoy from the imperial capital, and I heard that the people of Shanbei seem to be researching some special weapons, and they will succeed within ten years, and the day they succeed will be the time to invade us.

Therefore, the empire requires our northwest border city to prepare for war for ten years, and our city lord of Qingshui City has issued an order to ask all townships and villages to do a good job in the cultivation and education of their children within ten years, especially our families. Think about our future generations who will have to be battalion soldiers to fight in the future, how can we do it without the ability. ”

Ten years later, though, a new generation has grown. Patriarch Zhang continued: "Especially Xiao Liuhai, since he has been accepted as an apprentice by the immortals, he will definitely soar to the sky in the future! Only now, the whole village must keep this secret; don't let this word get out, cause trouble, and harm the children." ”

"Shiqi, our three elders have decided to let Xiaohai enroll in school starting tomorrow. ”

"Okay, it's just that Xiaohai's problem hasn't healed yet!"

"This, the immortal must have left a solution. ”

The three elders unanimously agreed-

In the past, they didn't let Xiao Liu go to school, in their eyes, Xiao Liu was the heart disease of the old man, dragging down the old man's family, the old man is the best candidate for the future patriarch in the eyes of the villagers, and it is a question whether the child can grow up.

Now, if you become an apprentice of a fairy, you will be able to protect the villagers in the future, and maybe you can become a big man in the city lord or something, and it is possible to change the whole village from a household to a free citizen, or even a nobleman!
