Text Preface 6 Hearing the Wizard of Wonder, Ancient Books and Canons (I)
A small turmoil passed, and everyone lost the interest of continuing to shop, and returned to the inn in a hurry. Fang Zheng comforted Li Zhengdao again, and asked Li Meng to arrange for them to go back to the house to rest, and then he also went back to the house. It's still early, it's noon. Idle, Fang Zheng simply took out the ancient book given by the old village chief of Qingniu and read it. He couldn't wait to read this book the night it arrived in Fang Zheng's hands. Fang Zheng himself is particularly fond of ancient books, and this book in his hand looks particularly ancient, many of the words are not the fonts used today, there is a kind of ancient Chinese seal script on the earth, fortunately, these words can still be seen in the shape of some connections with the words used today, plus Fang Zheng through the identity of "Mr" to find the old village chief from each family to find a bunch of miscellaneous books of various ages, but also read 7788. The remaining 12 out of 10 are really hard to see and understand. According to the content that Founder is interpreting now, this book is mainly about the knowledge of some medicinal herbs, including the habits, appearance, and identification methods of some herbal medicines. There are also many prescriptions, according to the effect of the book, all kinds of magic, but not Fang Zheng can understand.
Fang Zheng had also been to the village hospital to learn about it, and most of the medicinal herbs and prescriptions mentioned in the book had never even been heard of by Lang Zhong in the hospital. Therefore, Founder has always used this book as a reference for studying the development of the world's languages and writing.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng laughed at himself, he never thought that he had crossed over and first became a teacher for a group of children by chance, and now there is a trend of developing in the direction of old pedants. At this moment, the voice of the shopkeeper sounded outside the door, "Honorable guest, the little one is here to add some hot water to you." ”
"Come in, the door is not struck. Fang Zheng continued to look at the book in his hand, casually responding.
I saw a lean young man of about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a gray coarse cloth coat and a cotton cloth cloth on his shoulder. Pushing the door open with a large copper kettle. Fang Zheng put down the ancient book in his hand and stood up, took off the lid of the teapot on the table, and said with a smile, "Trouble little brother" "No trouble, no trouble, Mr. is polite, this is what the small should do." Xiao Er was a little excited, there had never been a guest so polite to him in the past, he had always been calling and drinking, and even more would open his mouth to insult and punch and kick, he had long been accustomed to all kinds of difficulties for his identity, but he was a little uncomfortable with the attitude of the person in front of him, and he was slightly nervous, so that his face was a little red. In Xiao Er's opinion, this person in front of him is not only a scholar, but he has also heard about the son of the county master who angrily scolded him on the street today. I secretly breathe out of relief in my heart, but also admire from the heart. So much so that after the pot of hot water in his hand boiled, he first sent it here, hoping that this gentleman could drink a pot of the hottest and warmest fragrant tea to express his admiration.
Fang Zheng smiled and didn't speak again, he could also see that Xiao Er was a little nervous.
The hot hot water poured out along the spout and poured a puff of hot air into the teapot on the table, and at this moment, there was a loud sound of "Peng" downstairs, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground. The little second-hand who was already a little nervous trembled, and the hot water in the pot spilled onto the ancient books that Fang Zheng put on the table, Xiao Er didn't care about what happened downstairs at this time, and hurriedly tore off the handkerchief on his shoulder, and quickly wiped it up, and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Fang Zheng was also taken aback just now, and when he came back to his senses, he looked at the situation in front of him, although he was a little distressed, but he was not angry. said, "It's okay, it's just a book, I'll just dry it, you go and see what's going on downstairs, the noise just now is not small." "The little one is clumsy and has wet your book, and the guest officer said how to compensate him, and the little one will do his best." Xiao Er was still nervous, and even his body was a little trembling. Fang Zheng didn't pay attention to the book on the table, but instead stretched out his hand and gently helped Xiao Er, who was bending over, and smiled, "Go quickly, it's really fine." Xiao Er's panicked expression eased a little, looked up and glanced at Fang Zheng's expression, seeing that he was not angry, his heart was even more moved, but he was also anxious about the situation downstairs, he knew very well that he had to go to the shopkeeper immediately at this time, listening to the sound, most of the guests downstairs had a conflict and a big fight, generally this kind of thing happened to them these little two in front, but the shopkeeper would not appear in front of the angry guests for the first time. If you don't go at this time, you may lose this job of supporting your family.
"Honorable guests are generous, the small ones will go to see the situation first, and they will definitely come over to apologize later. ”
As he spoke, he bent over, retreated out of the house, and helped Fang Zheng close the door.
At this time, there was gradually some noise downstairs, Fang Zheng didn't pay attention to it, and looked at the situation of the ancient books on the table, the water had been wiped dry by Xiao Er, this was the whole book was drenched, and it was still steaming at this time, Fang Zheng hurriedly opened it to check, but found some strange places at this time, judging by the degree of being drenched just now, the first twenty or thirty pages of the whole book should be soaked thoroughly, but at this time, Fang Zheng opened the book and found that in addition to the cover was almost soaked, the inside of the whole book was not half damaged. Seeing this, Fang Zheng noticed the strange place he had felt before, the first three pages of the book were blank, it looked like ordinary paper, but it was very magical. On one occasion he accidentally knocked over the oil lamp, and it happened to fall on the first page that was opened, and the oil flowed and was ignited by the wick without hurting the blank page. At the time, I just thought it was strange but didn't care, but now it seems that the first three blank pages should have another mystery. It's just that this is not the time to study, as long as the books are not damaged, it is a good thing, and there will be time to study slowly in the future.
The noise downstairs continued, and the children were going to take exams in the afternoon, and Fang Zheng didn't want any accidents to affect them at this time, so he prepared to go down and have a look.
Fang Zheng packed up the things in the house and got up and pushed the door out, only to see that there were many people gathered in the hall downstairs at this time, even Zhang Meng from the next room was watching from the corridor at the door, but the students did not see it, which made Fang Zheng slightly relieved.
A large space was vacated in the center of the crowd in the hall on the first floor, a set of dining tables and chairs had been broken into several pieces and scattered on the ground, and next to him lay a man dressed in black, whose face was full of beard and beard could be seen from a square angle, and his age was temporarily impossible to judge. The man lay there motionless, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. In addition to the visitors from all walks of life, there are only the shopkeeper of the inn and the two little two in the hall, and the thin little two who left just now are naturally among them. It's just that at this time, no one has stepped forward to check the situation, including the shopkeeper who is also there to watch. There was something strange about the atmosphere. From time to time, some people looked up at the roof of the inn with a strange expression. Talking to the companion next to you. In such a noisy environment, the Chinese side could not hear the details clearly.
He watched for a moment, but he didn't see it clearly. I just went downstairs. The shopkeeper also bowed his hand slightly when he saw Fang Zheng coming down, after all, this young guest was also in the limelight on the street during the day.
Fang Zheng walked directly to the shopkeeper's side, the thin little two who had added water before looked a little excited, and before Fang Zheng could speak, he hurriedly said, "Sir, you have also come down, this person on the ground fell from the sky and made a loud noise, and smashed the tables and chairs, but the roof has not been damaged in the slightest, which is strange." Fortunately, it didn't hit the guests. Xiao Er was very excited, and he spoke quite quickly, but Fang Zheng could understand it. He couldn't help but look up at the roof, only to see the vertical beams of the pure wooden roof, the structure was neat and sturdy, and it still showed the charm of the years, and there was not even a trace of gaps.
"Falling from the sky?" "Falling from the sky, it's true!" Fang Zheng asked in a daze, and Xiao Er answered surely.
"Someone witnessed it with their own eyes?" Fang Zheng was still a little skeptical, this is not strange, it is simply weird! If this person on the ground really fell from the sky and the roof was intact, such a situation simply overturned Fang Zheng's perception of being a human being for decades. If you come to the divine palm, it's not so exaggerated, ignoring the building and fighting cattle across the mountain??Fang Zheng couldn't help but be a little cranky.
"Many guests have seen it, and Li Er has also seen it. The thin little two said, and pulled the other little two next to him. I saw that the little two, who was also dressed but a little chubby, nodded excitedly.
At this time, Fang Zheng also heard the conversation of other spectators in the hall, which was consistent with what Xiao Er said.
Fang Zheng was a little dazed for a moment, and looked up at the roof again. Could it be that the roof of this inn is illusory? Three-dimensional imaging, stereoscopic projection? Fang Zheng's mind is flooded with some specious modern knowledge theories. But is it possible to have such a realistic projection? The earth can't do it, let alone here. And if this inn really has such a magic, the shopkeeper and Xiao Er should have known about it a long time ago, and they wouldn't be so surprised at this time.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng simply ignored it, such a magical thing happened to him, and there is nothing unacceptable about this magic at the moment. And the person concerned is lying in front of him, and it will be clear if he has any questions. It's just that it seems that the former is not in a very optimistic state at this time, and it is not yet known whether it is dead or alive.
"Has the shopkeeper ever been clear about this person's identity?"
Fang Zheng asked.
"I've never seen it, and the county is not big, and I have been running an inn for many years, most locals recognize it, but this one on the ground is very raw, and he doesn't look like a local. ”
"Have you ever checked the injury?" In Fang Zheng's mind, since it was "falling from the sky", then even if he didn't die, he would definitely be seriously injured, and he could make a judgment by looking at his immobility so far, although he didn't see any external injuries, but he thought that internal injuries must be indispensable.
"Uh~ I didn't dare to step forward, this person appeared strangely, Zhao was a citizen, but he couldn't get involved in such rights and wrongs, and was thinking about whether to report to the official to deal with it. The shopkeeper was also slightly embarrassed, after all, he didn't dare to come forward to check the details when the matter was here, obviously a timid and cautious person.
Fang Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Fang Mou, let's go and take a look, this person has no injuries on the outside, maybe he is just unconscious, as for whether to report to the official, wait for Fang Mou to see before speaking." ”
The reason why Founder made such a decision has its own considerations. First of all, I had the same situation back then, if I hadn't been rescued, I would have died and died. It is also fate to meet this person, and if he can help him, he will naturally not stand idly by. Moreover, I had a conflict with the government on the street before, and if I reported it to the government at this time, I was afraid that there would be many changes. After all, these children's exams in the afternoon are the most important things, and the dark square of society is the clearest.
Without waiting for the shopkeeper to open his mouth, he walked towards the middle of the hall......
