Houpo Village, which has always been calm, with only more than 120 households and less than 700 people, has been talking about Luo Guo Luo Xudong from time to time after tea and dinner. In the words, there is still a trace of envy for Luo Guo.

Without him, Luo Guo first picked up a big bargain and spent sixteen taels of silver to buy a big green cow in the year of contribution. Then he rescued a drowning teenager. The key is that the boy has stayed in Luoguo's house since he was rescued, not only going out early and returning late every day to serve Daqingniu diligently, but also, as long as he can do what he can, he will rush to do it. Especially cattle breeders know that they have to get up in the middle of the night to add fodder to the cows. And it is the boy of the age of snooze, since the first night of his stay, he no longer let Luo Guo get up at night, no matter the wind or rain, he can always get up on time every night to feed the cattle, and he has never been delayed.

Of course, these things came out of Qinglian and Mr. Zhen in the private school, and second, when Luo Guo was happy, he told the people in the village.

The words that the people in the village talked about reached Wu Zheng's ears, but it was not a good thing. Wu Zheng is worried all the time, what if he is heard by the people in Wujiabao?

While herding cattle, he was always pondering the "Nine Styles of Lingxiao" written down in the deep cave and in the pit under the ancestral tomb of the Wu family.

"The trend of the trend is also. Plants and trees grow up, and the fruits fall to the ground when they are ripe and the leaves fall. When the water is wet, the fire is dry. Although the mountains are majestic, they will be tilted, the sky is high and deep, the earth is thick and boundless, there are also thunder and lightning to ventilate it, yin and yang are in harmony, rain falls and snow drifts, and all things are born. There are thousands of kinds of light, and there is one potential. Drive away the darkness and go straight forward, without hesitation. ”

Ignorant, Wu Zheng still can't fully understand the meaning of these words.

Sometimes, Wu Zheng always has an impulse to find the private school in the village, and Qinglian's father to ask for advice. However, while going out early and returning late every day to herd cattle, he also had to help Luo Xudong with the work in the crops. The second is that he only said hello when he saw Qinglian occasionally, and he didn't come to Houpo Village for a long time, and he was not familiar with the Zhen family. Although he once went to thank Mr. Zhen under the leadership of Luo Xudong on the afternoon after waking up, Wu Zheng still felt a little embarrassed to let himself rush to ask for advice alone.

Naturally, Wu Zheng's ability to throw stones and fight hares has not been abandoned.

At the beginning, when he returned home with a killed hare or pheasant, Luo Xudong would always be a little surprised. However, I slowly got used to it.

On this day, Wu Zheng was lucky, not only hit two hares, but also killed a pheasant. So after dinner, Luo Xudong sat for a while, then picked up a hare and said that he would send it to Mr. Zhen.

Seeing this, Wu Zheng hurriedly stretched out his hand and took it and said:

"Grandpa, it's getting dark, and it's not easy to walk on the road, so I'd better go. ”

"It's okay, go and come back quickly. ”

Wu Zheng carried the hare and walked quickly to the door of the private school in the center of the village. Because Qinglian's family lives in a private school, Wu Zheng stepped forward and gently patted the door panel on the door of the private school.

"Who?"

As soon as I heard it, it was Qinglian's voice.

"Qinglian, it's me. ”

Opening the door and seeing the hare in Wu Zheng's hand, Qinglian hurriedly asked:

"Where did it come from?"

"I caught it when I was grazing cattle today, and my grandfather asked me to send it to Mr. Zhen. ”

"Why don't you keep it for yourself? Take it back, Uncle Liu from Dongtou sent one to Daddy last month." ”

"I still have them at home, and I caught two of them today. ”

Hearing the sound of talking in the yard, Mr. Zhen in the house couldn't help but ask:

"Lian'er, who's outside?"

"Dad, it's Qiu Zheng. ”

"Then why don't you let me sit in the house?"

"Hey, come on. ”

immediately closed the courtyard door, took the hare in Wu Zheng's hand, turned around and walked in front, and led Wu Zheng into the house.

"Hello sir. ”

"Qiu Zheng, come and sit down and drink water. Have you eaten?"

"Sir, I've eaten. ”

"Daddy, see what this is?"

"Hare?"

"Sir, I caught two rabbits while herding cattle today, and Grandpa asked me to send one over for Mr. to taste. ”

"You guys are really outside, Lian'er, when Qiu Zheng leaves in a while, remember to let him take him back. ”

Although Qinglian agreed, she still turned around and carried the hare into the kitchen on the east side of the yard outside the door.

Seeing Qinglian's mother also coming out of it, Wu Zheng hurriedly shouted again:

"Hello aunt. ”

"Sit down, sit down and talk, if you haven't eaten, let Lian'er bring you a bowl of rice, there is still it in the kitchen." ”

"Auntie, I've eaten it. ”

Seeing that Qinglian didn't come in for a while, Wu Zheng sat down on a stool that Mr. Zhen had started.

"I was in a hurry last time, and I forgot to ask you, have you ever read?"

"Sir, when I was six years old, I went to school for three years. ”

"Why didn't you read it later?"

"My father went out four years ago and never returned, and he couldn't pay the tuition, so he didn't go back to school. ”

"Oh, that's right. What books have you read?"

"Sir, I read "Hundred Family Names", "Three Character Classics", "Thousand Character Texts", and "Analects" also studied a few articles. ”

"How much can you remember?"

"Sir, I was playful back then. Most of the articles in the Analects have been forgotten. ”

"Hmm, do you remember what you mean?"

Seeing that Wu Zheng actually nodded, Mr. Zhen couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Not to mention that he has only been studying in a private school for three years, and he has been put down for nearly four years, even a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child who has been studying in school may not dare to say that he can remember three hundred thousand.

When he casually mentioned two sentences from three hundred thousand, Wu Zheng was sure to pick up the next sentence immediately.

"Rare, rare. ”

praised Wu Zheng twice, Zhen Qingyi couldn't help but look at Wu Zheng twice.

"Do you still want to study?"

"Sir. ”

How could Wu Zheng not want to, thinking that if he had been studying, why couldn't he understand the sentences in "Lingxiao Nine Styles"? In fact, Wu Zheng, who had never practiced martial arts, had misunderstood, and the secrets of martial arts could not be compared with ordinary books.

"Daddy, now Brother Qiu Zheng, even if he wants to study, where is the condition?"

Qinglian happened to walk in from outside the door at this time.

Qinglian's mother also chimed in:

"Also, do you want to leave the cow alone?"

Zhen Qingyi just asked casually, and then thought of Wu Zheng's difficulties.

lowered his head and pondered for a while, but suddenly said to Wu Zheng:

"Why don't you find a time for me to discuss with Brother Luo?"

"Sir, grandpa and Mr. have not repaid their life-saving grace, how can I let grandpa pay for my education? ”

So he stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhen Qingyi.

"Alas, that's the way of the world. If you really want to read, you can't. ”

Inevitably, from what happened to Wu Zheng, Zhen Qingyi thought of himself again.

After chatting for a while, Wu Zheng saw that the time was not early, so he tentatively said:

"Sir, I used to read a book once in a while, and I forgot what the name was. There is a passage in it that I still remember, but I can't figure out what it means. So, I would like to ask sir. ”

"Oh, I'll hear it. ”

When Wu Zheng recited a text in "Lingxiao Nine Styles" that he didn't understand, Zhen Qingyi couldn't help but fall into a long thought.

Because he was worried that he would make Luo Xudong unhappy if he went back late, Wu Zheng looked a little cramped when he sat there.

After being seen by Zhen Qingyi, he immediately said to Wu Zheng:

"Well, go back first, let me think about it, and I'll tell you about it another day. ”

Such a paragraph of text without beginning and end, even if Zhen Qingyi is really knowledgeable, he will not be able to figure it out immediately. What's more, it's not the words in ordinary books, but the sentences in the secret books of martial arts?

Anyway, Wu Zheng was not in a hurry, so after standing up and saying goodbye to Zhen Qingyi and his wife, he turned around and walked out of the house.

Xu is body and mind were immersed in the sentence Wu Zheng had just read, forgetting what he had just said, Zhen Qingyi just said to Qinglian:

"Lian'er, send Qiu Zheng. ”

Qinglian agreed, walked out behind Wu Zheng, picked up a blue cloth package from the stone bench outside the door, stuffed it into Wu Zheng's arms and said:

"Take it, it's the meat bun wrapped at home today. ”

Seeing that Wu Zheng was about to excuse himself, Qinglian pushed Wu Zheng's waist from behind, directly pushed him out of the courtyard gate, and when he closed the courtyard door, he said to Wu Zheng again:

"I'll go over tomorrow to get the baggage. ”
