Chapter 2 The village has changed a lot

At this moment, the village became lively, and the village elders and village chiefs, as well as most of the elders, came out to greet the old man.

Shizi also watched the excitement together, and each family took out the wine, peanuts and various foods hidden in the cellar to entertain the guests from afar.

The original old man was a scribe in the Later Liang Kingdom, and because of the chaos of war, he had to travel to many countries in search of a pure land.

Walking to such a remote place as Fuyu Town, Minguo, where the whole village has lived for many years, I learned from the old man that their country is called Minguo, and the town is called Fuyu Town.

The old man was talking to everyone about what he had seen and heard along the way, and suddenly there was a thunderclap in the clear sky, and then the wind and clouds were surging, and it was raining heavily.

The elders of the village thought that the old man had brought the rain, so they all got up and bowed down to thank the old man.

The men, women and children of the whole village have returned to the village, this rain makes everyone kneel to worship the earth and the sky, kneel to worship the old man who brings the rain from afar, and many adults go out to the woods to catch hares and pheasants, etc., and the game to thank the old man.

The rain was falling slowly and rapidly, and every house was filled with water utensils.

After a few years of drought cracking, the fields began to heal, and the seedlings gradually became vigorous when they were moistened, and the river began to rise in patches of green, slowly appearing on the ground.

The elders of the village built a spacious wooden house for the old man in the woods on the edge of the village, which was fully equipped with all the facilities.

A dining table, two or three chairs, a bookcase, a coffee table, and screens and bookshelves were made according to the old man's requirements.

These are all things that no one in the village has ever seen, and they are all made by the old man who drew sketches and hired carpenters.

Shi Zi will run to the old man's house from time to time every day to take a sneak peek, his idea is to learn to read and read, this is because every time he dreams of an empty house, he wants to know what consciousness is when he sees words.

Gradually, the old man noticed the little black child.

But every time he beckoned for the stone to come to him, the stone ran away shyly.

In a blink of an eye, summer came, and the drought was solved because of the rain in the fields, and the adults were happy to see the green crops.

During this time, in response to the response of the villagers, the village chief went to the old man to chat for several days, begging the old man to teach the children to learn literacy, so that the next generation of the village can have knowledge, can go out and see the literate people.

The old man smiled slightly, and saw that the villagers in this remote place were so motivated, and he was very satisfied and moved to agree to such a request, and then set it to be seven days later that the village grain field began to teach the children.

The old scribe's surname is inexplicable rain, the word Tianzhi, he is a university musician in the Later Liang Kingdom.

His surname is a big surname in the Later Liang Kingdom, and the Later Liang Emperor was annoyed by the outspokenness of the old man Mo, and he couldn't kill him, so he was angry in the name of a lobbyist, and sent out the country and never wanted to see him again.

I began to travel, cross the mountains, cross the rivers, look at the various states of life, watch the war, kill and kill, and put them into my heart one by one.

I don't care about the vision of the future at all, I want to live in seclusion and enjoy the future peacefully.

Starting from Houliang through many countries, it took five years to arrive at the Min country, which is not a large area, but there are fewer places in the war than other countries.

After coming to this village, he saw these enthusiastic and motivated villagers, which made him feel a sense of belonging, so he stayed and had the heart to teach the next generation in the village.

At this time, Shizi and his friends were laughing and playing with hares and mice, and the old man's decision brought earth-shaking changes to the future of the children who were in the happy mountains.

This is a fortunate thing in the village, and it also makes the adults see a glimmer of hope, the big characters do not know a village, generation after generation, and now the old man will change.

The village elders and the village chief all went to the ancestral hall to burn incense and pray, thanking the heavens, thanking the earth, and thanking the ancestors for blessing the wind and rain.

When I get old, I will tell the people in the village about all this, proud and proud, the smell of incense is rare in the ancestral hall, and today the incense floats out of the ancestral hall and floats into the sky.

The village chief and elders were very excited, watching the ancestors rank one by one

"Our village doesn't even have a name, there are two nameless villages with two surnames, how can He De summon such a capable old bachelor, the children have teachers, in the future, our village may have a big official, and the lintel will call our village one of the best in the surrounding villages." Hahaha," said the village chief with his back to the ancestral rank, facing the gate, and smiling.

The surrounding elders all nodded yes.

After a while, they began to talk about their future plans and longing for their children, and the prosperity of this small village was just around the corner.

The sound of laughter in the ancestral hall is endless, the white clouds drift by under the sun in the sky, and the grass on the ground swaying slightly, this picture is really beautiful.

Seven days flashed by in a blink of an eye, the people in the village were still busy, there was not a single cloud in the sky, and the sun was unscrupulously releasing its heat.

In a small pergola in the grain field, on a long table in the pergola, a feather fan is on a cushion with slightly closed eyes, and a short and thin man beside him holds a ring ruler in his hand, examining more than forty children of different ages below.

Because of the idea that men are inferior to women, the village elders and village chiefs do not allow girls to learn knowledge, but Mo Lao does not have that idea and allows girls to learn secretly around.

"Today I will talk to you about the country today."

After Mo Lao finished speaking, he wrote a word on a smooth, clean and wide wooden board with charcoal, and Min Hou said: "This is the Min country, and the king of Min is named Sun Minyan."

The children all looked at Mo Lao, but one of the children picked up a branch and wrote crookedly on the ground on the wooden board, muttering in his mouth.

"Min is the name of your country, and it is also the first word you know"

Mo Lao talked about the names of various countries and emperors today, and wrote on the wooden board the Southern Liang, Wu, Later Liang, Zhao, Jin, Northern Fan, Yue, Eastern Xia, Later Zhou, Min, and Jin.

Mo Lao watched the children listen with relish, so he spoke harder, energetic and happy.

Shizi listened, but kept writing with a branch in his hand.

"Hey, now in this war-torn year, children who are a little older will be taken away at fourteen or fifteen, even if they are not old enough to be tall."

"It's gone, there are few wars in the Min country, but it is also very concerned about catching and raising soldiers, and the two surrounding countries are often provocative, it's a pity and sad" Mo Lao looked up at the sky and sighed lightly.

For an hour, the children didn't feel the reason why they were very focused in the sun, and Mo Lao was very happy and satisfied.

After class, Mo Lao asked Ma Wuqi to find a stone to his wooden house, and a thin figure entered the wooden house.

Mo Lao looked up and down, his hair was a little yellow, a little black face, a pair of big eyes under the slender eyebrows, and a pair of big eyelids, a small nose and a small mouth looked cute, a little shy and a little flustered, like a frightened chick

"What's your name, little doll," Mo Lao asked after looking at it

"My name is Shizi, by the way, my family named me Zhao Shiyi"

"Haha, Shizi, Zhao Shiyi?" Mo Lao smiled and wrote Zhao Shiyi's words on the ground

"I don't know these three words, my father said that the surname is Zhao, the stone of the stone, one is the word of a worm," raised his head and looked at Mo Lao, and said it seriously.

Mo Lao looked at Shi Zi's serious expression, laughed out loud and shook his head.

"This name is from Ma Wuqi, my father exchanged things for things, he is the most learned person among us"

Mo Lao looked at the stone and said with gentle eyes and soft words, "Do you like to write and read?"

The stone lowered his head and thought about it, and said seriously, "I must like it, in order to name other people in the future, read letterheads, and earn delicious food."

Mo Lao laughed again, it was normal for such a big child to admit to eating.

Mo Lao stretched out his left hand and pinched it, looked at the stone with a smile for a while, and then said, "Ma Wuqiqi's name is not available, I'll give you a name, Shizi"

Mo Lao likes this kid so he does it.

Shi Zi looked at Mo Lao and thought for a while and said, "Is the name useful?"

"The name is good, maybe it will bring you luck in the future," Mo Lao said with certainty.

The stone thought for a moment and agreed.

"Zhao Shiyu will be this name in the future, there is jade in the stone, so the treasure of the stone"

Shi Zi smiled slightly, and now that he had one front tooth left during the tooth loss, he felt that it would be better if the new name came.

"If you have nothing to do in the future, you can come to me, I think you like to write and read very much."

The stone is actually a very simple idea, trying to understand what the words on the wall in the oval room in the dream are.

"Mo Lao taught me more things, okay?"

As soon as Shizi's words came out, Mo Lao rang for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Yes, as long as you want to learn, I can teach you if you want to ask, and you can teach me."

At this time, Ma Wuqi came, and the village chief ordered him to take care of Mo Lao's daily life.

Shi saw Ma Wuqi coming, and then said goodbye to Mo Lao, happily went home, and as soon as he got home, he told his father about Mo's family and his new name.

Because he knew that Mo Lao liked stones, he happily shouted, "Child, I want to have a drink of one more dish today."
