Chapter 82: Oracle Bone Rubbing
"You, Mr. Lin, said that you can know a lot of oracle bones?" Mr. Shi said after a few words of greeting, and then turned to the topic.
I nodded.
Teacher Shi picked up a few pieces of paper from the table, walked up to me, and handed the paper in his hand to me: "Here are some rubbed oracle bone characters, see how many you can recognize?"
I looked at them one by one, read them out one by one, and said the gist of the oracle bone records.
Teacher Shi nodded again and again, and when I finished recognizing the last one, Teacher Shi extended a thumbs up to me.
"To learn oracles, you have to start with dolls. Lin Jing, you have done a good job in this matter. I can't find a few graduate students who can compare to Xiao Huang. It's a pity that it's too small, and if I were a college student, I would have accepted it as my graduate student. Teacher Shi sighed.
Teacher Lin took the opportunity to talk about me: "Teacher Shi, in fact, Huang Jingyang also wants to study in the city. He was a child of the countryside. I once spent a year in the small village of Bajiao Village, where not only the conditions were poor, but there was also a shortage of teachers. Children like Huang Jingyang have surpassed their peers by a lot, but they can't get a better education. If Huang Jingyang can learn in a better environment, he will be able to give full play to his talents. ”
"Lin Jing, it turns out that you want me to help you solve Xiao Huang's school problem, right? But you also have to consider other aspects. The cost of living in the city is not small. Xiao Huang is in the countryside, and the family conditions are not very good, if he goes to school in the city, the boarding school tuition fee plus room and board expenses will be tens of thousands of yuan a year, and he has to find another place to eat and live on weekends. Counting it, the cost is not low. "Teacher Shi is a little worried about Teacher Lin.
Teacher Lin smiled: "Teacher Shi, don't underestimate Huang Jingyang. He is amazing, he earned tens of thousands of yuan during a winter vacation last year. He built a building in his hometown, which he also built to make money. When he was in elementary school, he held martial arts classes at school, and almost all the children in primary school were his students. ”
"Then I'm really out of sight. I really didn't expect our Xiao Huang to be a martial arts master. By the way, Xiao Huang, how do you earn tens of thousands of yuan during a winter vacation? I can't earn tens of thousands of dollars a year. Teacher Shi smiled.
"I will cure people for rheumatism. Heal one for two hundred dollars. I cured hundreds of people during a winter vacation. "There's nothing to hide from that, I'm honest.
"Really, my arm is a little rheumatic, and when the weather changes, I can't hold the pen in my hand. Since you can cure it, then you can cure me of rheumatism. I'll pay you according to what you're doing in your town. What do you think?" Mr. Shi leaned over and handed his right hand to me.
I held Mr. Shi's hand and massaged Mr. Shi with vitality.
"Huh? I felt a stream of heat flowing through my arm, and wherever the heat flowed, I felt very comfortable. My wrist was originally a little uncomfortable, but when I was pressed by Xiao Huang, it seemed to feel much stronger. "Mr. Shi was very surprised, originally he was still skeptical of what Mr. Lin and I said, but now he is convinced.
After massaging for a long time, I let go of Mr. Shi's hand: "There shouldn't be any big problem." In the future, if I have the opportunity to press it for you a few times, it will be completely cured. ”
Teacher Shi kept turning his wrist, "Hey, your hand massage is really magical." Others say that rheumatism is a terminal disease, but I didn't expect it to be cured in your hands. Come on, I'll give you the medical bills first. ”
"Don't, Teacher Shi, where can I ask for money for your treatment?" Teacher Lin hurriedly said.
"Lin Jing, this matter still has to be regulated. Xiao Huang cured me of my illness and I had to pay for his medical bills. Originally, 200 yuan was not enough, but I didn't give much. As for Xiao Huang's schooling, I'll just go and talk to the primary school affiliated to our school. This cannot be offset by the other. Besides, Xiao Huang may have to rely on this to maintain his studies in the future. Teacher Shi took out two hundred yuan from his wallet and handed it to me. I was at a loss and didn't know whether to take it or not.
"Teacher Shi said so, Huang Jingyang, you can accept it. ”
Teacher Lin spoke, and I dared to put the money away.
Teacher Shi immediately called people, made several calls in a row, and finally got the enrollment matter done.
"What grade are you going to?" asked Teacher Shi.
"Huang Jingyang was supposed to be in the fourth grade next semester, but I think it would be a waste of time for him to go to the fourth grade again, and he could go directly to the fifth or sixth grade. Huang Jingyang's results are very good. Even in the sixth grade, he was able to score highly. Teacher Lin said.
"Then go straight to sixth grade. However, an entrance exam may be arranged before admission. If it's okay, then it's settled. Teacher Shi called the attached elementary school to settle the matter.
"Xiao Huang, I have a lot of information about oracle bones here, but these materials can't be bought outside. If you like it, come to me and read it. One thing is that the material here is too precious to be copied casually. Can only be seen here. If you memorize it with your head, I can't do anything about you. Speaking of this, Mr. Shi laughed.
"That's right. Teacher Shi seemed to suddenly remember something, "I got a very unique thing not long ago, and I haven't figured out what it is after looking at it for a long time." You also see. Maybe you'll be able to see something. ”
This thing should be very precious, and Mr. Shi did not show me the original, but showed me the rubbing. Although it was rubbing, in my eyes, the oracle bone inscriptions on it seemed to be all alive. The rubbing is a prototype with the text on it distributed over several circular rings.
To my eyes, the rings seemed to all spin up, and the words on them were lined up one by one to form a series of words. Although some of the words are unknown to me, it does not prevent me from recognizing the gist of the rubbing.
It's a pity I didn't get to see the original, otherwise I would have been able to get a lot of important content from it. Although rubbing can copy all the text patterns on the original, there is no way to copy the charm on the original.
When I sorted out the words on the rubbing, and said the gist of it. Teacher Lin and Teacher Shi were like stone sculptures, standing in place in a daze.
"Are you sure it's arranged like this?" Teacher Shi was stunned for a long time before asking.
"It's still a mechanism. It's a pity I didn't get to see the original. I sighed. At this moment, I didn't look like a kid at all.
Teacher Shi said very seriously and nervously: "If the original is in your hand, can you correspond the original documents in this order?"
"Probably about the same. It's a pity I didn't see the original. "My eyes were drawn to this rubbing. Those who can use oracle bone characters are all witches of that era. Wu was the first person in ancient China to comprehend the mysteries of heaven and earth. From the traces of their lives, I may be able to discover more of what I am so eager to know.
