"Bah, Bah, Bah......"

A rhythmic percussion resounded in the side streets. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Two women stood in the street, looking at a blacksmith, and when they saw a strong man striking iron, they chattered there.

"What's this man's name? He looks strong and good-looking. A fat woman said.

The woman who was with her was wearing an emerald flower skirt and nodded, "Yes, I heard that it is the long-lost son of the old blacksmith." ”

Not far away, under the eaves, there was an old woman doing needlework, and when she heard this, she smiled and said, "You are talking about the young man who made iron at the old hammer's house, right?"

Cui Huahua hurriedly replied: "Yes, auntie, do you know his situation?"

The old woman smiled: "I know, I know, that is the old hammer's new apprentice, surnamed Zhu, what is the name of the sky, I often hear the old hammer call him Xiaotian, and the name is forgotten." ”

The fat woman pursed her lips and said, "Just an apprentice?"

The old woman had an opinion and said, "Don't look down on him. When he first came, his hair was shorter than it is now, and he said that he had injured his head, and he shaved his hair when he was cured, and he forgot about the past, but now he has been cured. People are clever and polite. ”

The fat woman looked at the blacksmith again, frowned, and said, "It's really not hairy, isn't there something wrong with it?"

The old woman got angry, and said with a straight face, "You don't think about it." Look at his appearance, can he be raised by a poor family? Maybe he is still the son of a rich family. The old hammer is an old widower, and he originally wanted to recognize him as his son and pass on the blacksmith shop to him in the future, but Xiaotian was still unwilling. This kind of heart is not something that ordinary people can have. ”

Cuihua skirt hurriedly persuaded: "Auntie, don't be angry, my sister has no bad intentions." ”

The old woman continued, "I know your thoughts. Isn't it just that you fancy Xiaotian! People are tall and handsome, and they make people happy at first sight. Let me tell you, it's not your family who takes a fancy to him, in this town, there are daughters of marriageable age, and many of them have come to ask, but none of them agree. ”

When the fat woman heard this, she shook her head and said, "Auntie, you have misunderstood. We've heard that there's a weird offspring in town, come and see what's going on. ”

The old woman's voice was a little cold, and she said, "That's an old body with a lot of mouth!"

Cui Huahua skirt hurriedly pulled the fat woman, and smiled at the old woman: "Auntie, don't be angry, let's talk again." It's called Xiaotian, did you say what conditions you want to find? ”

The old woman raised her head, looked at the emerald flower skirt twice, and said, "The little genius is sixteen years old, so he said that he is not in a hurry to find it." ”

"Sixteen years old is a lot! Aren't all the young sons of good families marrying at this age?

The old woman said: "The old hammer wants to recognize his son, but the people don't agree? It's just an apprentice, how can he have Xiaotian's consent?"

Several women were talking about Zhu Tianpeng on the street corner, but he was pounding the red-hot iron hard.

Since the last time he came to this town with Zeng Shishi, he sold his furs and got some money, Lao Zhu bought two clothes, and the rest of the money was given to Zeng Shishi.

When he accompanied Zeng Shi to the blacksmith shop to buy iron arrows, the old hammer learned about Zhu Tianpeng's situation and wanted to take him as his son. Zhu Tianpeng naturally refused, and he didn't want to go back to Lishan Village, so he became the apprentice of the old hammer.

There is no technical content in pure ironing, and Zhu Tianpeng got started directly the next day.

"Xiaotian, okay, I'll do the rest. Aren't you going to Mr. Hu's place? Hurry up and pack up, and go. ”

Although the old hammer is old, his body is still very strong, and with a gray beard on his face, he is quite imposing.

"Okay, Uncle Hammer, then I'll wash my face. After Zhu Tianpeng finished speaking, he entered the back room.

"Go!" the old hammer picked up the sledgehammer and began to strike.

Not long after, Zhu Tianpeng washed his face and came out in his clothes.

The old hammer saw that Zhu Tianpeng was empty-handed, and said, "Didn't Xiaoshi send a lot of bacon last time? Mr. Hu taught you to read and write, you can't always go empty-handed. ”

After coming to the blacksmith shop for nearly a month, the old hammer was getting better and better to Zhu Tianpeng, and he really treated him as a son.

Lao Zhu is always a little uneasy, he can't be a son to the old hammer, he must live up to this expectation!

Mr. Hu's home is not far from the blacksmith shop. Zhu Tianpeng took two pieces of bacon and entered the gate of the Hu family after a while.

"Tianpeng, you can come here, why are you still carrying things?" Mr. Hu was a little unhappy when he saw Zhu Tianpeng carrying bacon into the door.

Mr. Hu, who is in his forties, is a small landowner with a good family. When he was young, he traveled and studied, and he was the most learned person in the entire Wulin Town. Asked by the village elders to teach a group of children in the town to read.

Ten days ago, Zhu Tianpeng heard about him, so he secretly went to see it, wanting to know what kind of writing he taught.

When peeking at it, because of surprise, he couldn't help but make a sound, and he was discovered by Mr. Hu.

After Mr. Hu learned about Zhu Tianpeng's situation, he tested his learning ability and found that his memory and understanding were very strong, and he liked it very much, so he asked him to come to his home every afternoon to study, and even the tuition fee was waived.

The people of this world speak the lingua franca, and the writing is also universal.

There are two fonts for general characters, one is called Cangjie and the other is Qinhuang.

Cangjie style is also called seal character and ancient character character, which is no longer commonly used. Qinhuang style is also called the general style, between the official book and the line, is the current common font.

Zhu Tianpeng gave the bacon to the servant of the Hu family, bowed down and saluted Mr. Hu: "I've seen Mr." ”

Mr. Hu smiled: "You learn the lingua franca very quickly, and now you don't have the weird tone you had earlier, and it's much more pleasing to the ear." ”

Lao Zhu smiled. I used to speak Mandarin, but now I am forced to speak the local language, who do I want to reason with?

"It's just that your hair is always unpleasant to look at. Why is it so short?"

So far, the human beings Zhu Tianpeng has seen are all long-haired, both male and female. His own hair had grown, just short, only three centimeters long, blue-black.

"That's all for gossip. Mr. Hu became serious and said, "The Analects consists of 20 volumes, 11,705 characters, you have finished studying them, can you memorize them all?"

"Yes. Zhu Tianpeng's tone was very affirmative.

Mr. Hu glanced at Lao Zhu and said, "Listen to it on your back." ”

"Learn first. Zi said: Learning and learning from time to time, it is not pleasant, and there are friends from afar, and it is also very happy......"

"Politics is second. Zi said: For politics and morality, such as Beichen, live in its place, and the stars share the ......"

......

After Zhu Tianpeng finished reciting, Mr. Hu was very satisfied, nodded and said: "The sentence is read clearly, the tone is appropriate, it should be an understanding of the meaning of the text, not bad!"

After a pause, Mr. Hu said again: "To do learning, you have to be knowledgeable and questionable, and the most important thing is to think, but what are the doubts?"

Zhu Tianpeng shook his head, suddenly remembered the words he didn't know on the nine-tooth nail rake, and said, "Sir, I have seen three strange words, I don't know what they mean, can I ask you?"

"Strange words, how strange are the methods?" Mr. Hu said strangely.

So, Lao Zhu drew the three crooked characters on the nine-tooth nail rake as they were.

Mr. Hu looked at it carefully and pondered: "This is Cangjie style, an ancient Chinese character, which is not commonly used today. It should be these three words, Qin, Jin, and Rake. ”

Lao Zhu looked at the words written by Mr. Hu, and said in his heart: It turns out that the nine-tooth nail rake is called Qinjin rake, and this name is really frustrating!

To solve a big doubt in his heart, Lao Zhu asked what he wanted to know the most: "Sir, what era are we in?"

"Era?Last year, Emperor Zhaowen was on the throne, and the new emperor ascended the throne, and this year is the first year of Taihe. Mr. Hu paused and said: "This is the name of the era of the Great Han Kingdom, and the era name of the Jin Kingdom is the second year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty." ”

I'll go, what's going on? Isn't it the Three Kingdoms returning to Jin? How can there still be a Great Han Kingdom? Zhu Tianpeng expressed the doubts in his heart.

Mr. Hu sighed and said, "Now there are not only Jin and Han, but also Yan and Zhao. The Hu people went south and trampled the land of the Central Plains to the point where they were not in shape, the Han people were reduced to slaves and even rations, and the Hu people were reckless and arrogant, proclaiming themselves emperors one after another, and usurping their names. Even this Han Kingdom ......"

When he said the word Hanguo, Mr. Hu stopped, and there was a very heavy feeling of loneliness in his eyes.

Lao Zhu, who was a man in his previous life, was definitely not very pure, but he had always regarded himself as a Han person, and after hearing it, he felt empathy, and frowned: "The Han country where we are located is also ruled by the Hu people?"

Mr. Hu stared deeply at Zhu Tianpeng, and only after half a ring, did he nod and did not speak.

Zhu Tianpeng was very strange about Mr. Hu's look at him, and asked, "Sir, why do you look at me like this?"

Mr. Hu stared at Zhu Tianpeng and said lightly: "You originally lost your hair, you should be a novice of the Buddhist sect." Buddhism was passed down from the Hu people and was more supportive of the Hu people. ”

How did Zhu Tianpeng know that pretending to be a monk would encounter such a thing? He needed the approval of the human world, and in the face of such a question related to racial standpoint, he had to express his position, so he said loudly: "I am definitely a Han Chinese!"

"Well, I believe you. Mr. Hu was putting it mildly.

Zhu Tianpeng felt that Mr. Hu was a little insincere, frowned, and said, "Sir, I am really Han." I still remember the "Thousand Character Text" that I memorized when I was a child and—"

Lao Zhu's grandmother used to be a beautiful girl, and she taught "Thousand Character Text" and "Three Character Classic" when he was very young. He originally wanted to talk about the "Three Character Classic", but suddenly remembered that the "Three Character Classic" appeared relatively late, at least after the Tang Dynasty, so he stopped.

"A thousand-character text?" Mr. Hu had never heard of such an enlightenment text, and said, "You memorize it and listen to it." ”

"Good. Zhu Tianpeng began to recite.

"Heaven and earth are yellow, the universe is desolate, the sun and the moon are shining, and the sun and moon are shining......

Love and educate Li Shou, the ministers Fu Rong Qiang, all over the world, and return to the king with guests......

The predicate helper is also a blessing. ”

When Zhu Tianpeng was reciting, he unconsciously brought a strange accent again, but this time he brought out the dialect of his hometown.

After listening to it, Mr. Hu pondered for a long time before he spoke: "The article you recited, although I don't understand it very well, is indeed suitable for enlightenment. It's just that the tone is even weirder than when I first met you. ”

Zhu Tianpeng froze there.

It's unimaginable that the world now speaks the same language. The voice he unconsciously leaked was definitely a big loophole, and he really had to pay attention to what he said in the future.

As a person who is determined to soak in Chang'e and not be an ugly and clumsy pig, he has long planned to hide his origin from the whole world, and things like this that reveal flaws unconsciously must be completely eliminated.

However, Mr. Hu refused to let him go.

After all, Mr. Hu is a literati, not to mention the level, from enlightenment to now at least 30 years of experience in dealing with words, he still has the ability to distinguish articles, as soon as he listened to Zhu Tianpeng's recitation, he judged that this was a good article.

So, he didn't discuss with Zhu Tianpeng, and directly sent someone to the blacksmith shop to inform the old hammer that Zhu Tianpeng was going to return late, so he pulled Lao Zhu to copy the "Thousand Character Text" in Qin Huang style word by word.

More than 1,000 words are not repeated, but they are rhythmic and timeless, and they are definitely written by Confucianism. ”

Mr. Hu chanted and admired there, and he didn't even realize that Zhu Tianpeng had said goodbye and left.

Lao Zhu returned to the blacksmith shop and saw that Old Hammer was drinking alone, and the food on the table did not move. He asked, "Uncle Hammer, it's so late, why haven't you eaten yet?"

When the old hammer saw Zhu Tianpeng, he smiled and said, "The Hu family didn't make it clear, they only said that you would return late." I'm drinking wine, wait a minute, you don't need to eat, just together. If you've used it, I'll not be hungry and drink some wine to moisten my throat. ”

Zhu Tianpeng really didn't eat. Mr. Hu was fascinated by "Thousand Character Text", and his family scolded him for eating!

Because there are some visions when cultivating "The Secret of Yuehua", Lao Zhu, who is in the human world, has not cultivated for several days, and eating is the only way to replenish the body's energy, and he also has to eat, and there is a lot of food.

After eating, Zhu Tianpeng cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and lay on the wooden bed alone, feeling a little dull.

When Mr. Hu comes to his senses tomorrow, he will definitely come to the door and ask him about the origin of the "Thousand Character Text"! He really doesn't know how to answer, and he will be wrong and wrong! If he doesn't answer, Mr. Hu will definitely not let him go!

Uncle Hammer's enthusiasm, he also deserves it!

If you don't leave now, the longer you get along, the deeper your feelings will be, and when it's time to leave, I'm afraid that Uncle Hammer will hurt even more!

Zhu Tianpeng gritted his teeth and left Wulin Town at night.
