I really don't want to be a teacher

Chapter 256 Under the Wudang Mountain

"Jiujiu... Sasha."

The breeze disturbs the branches and leaves, and the sunlight from the rising sun shines through the window and is reflected under the window.

Among the dense branches and leaves outside the house, insects and birds are singing, as if to show their own existence,

"crunch..."

Lian Ge, who woke up from his sleep, sat up and opened the bedroom door without stopping.

"Zhizhi, Zhizhi..." The little white mouse lying on the side suddenly turned up and jumped onto Lian Ge's shoulder.

……

"...Young man, wake up."

Beside the door of the main room, an old man with the appearance of an old farmer was knocking on the cigarette rod on the threshold, cleaning up the remaining soot,

"It's really early to get up, like when my kid has time to come back, he won't get up until the sun is up."

With a smile on his dark face, the old man stood up,

"...just as the water in the pot is boiling, old man, I want some noodles, or young man, you can eat some too,"

"Don't bother me."

Lian Ge walked to the door of the main room, shook his head, then looked outside the room,

This is a village in the mountains and forests, along the winding path in front of the door, there are some buildings scattered on both sides.

After arriving here last night, Lian Ge entered the village, randomly found a family at the entrance of the village, and stayed overnight.

"What's the trouble, anyway, the old man cooks a bowl of noodles, and boils two bowls of noodles..."

The old man shook his head and said,

"Young man, wait for a while, and then you can eat noodles."

Hearing this, Lian Ge turned his gaze, glanced at the old man, then nodded,

"Then trouble you."

The old man waved his hand, put the cigarette rod in his hand on the stool next to him, and walked into the kitchen.

……

Glancing at the old man, Lian Ge looked away, took a stool, sat down in front of the main room, and looked outside.

Outside the main house is the front yard, and next to the front yard is the path connecting the houses in the village. Looking forward,

Outside the village, there are several mountain peaks in the distance, connecting with the surrounding mountains. The top of the mountain peaks has been surrounded by mist, but with the disturbance of the breeze, the buildings on the mountain still appear faintly in front of us.

Those are ancient buildings, and the outlines of palaces and pavilions can be seen.

"...Come on, young man, the face is ready."

Behind him, the old man's voice sounded again, and he walked out of the kitchen with two bowls of noodles.

Lian Ge heard the sound, stood up, reached out and took one of the bowls of noodles,

"Thank you, old man."

"You're welcome." The old man waved his hand, and put his bowl of noodles on the table next to him, "It's not too much condiment, so don't dislike it. I cooked some sausage yesterday, so I cut some. Put it in the bottom of the bowl, when you eat, boy, turn the noodles over, "

"... By the way, and..."

As he spoke, the old man turned around and walked into the kitchen.

……

Not long after, the old man came out again with a shallow plate, which also contained some noodles.

"...Almost forgot about you, come on, you have it too."

The old man smiled, said to the little white mouse on Lian Ge's shoulder, put the plate aside,

The little white mouse who was staring at Lian Ge's bowl heard the sound, glanced at Lian Ge, and jumped off his shoulder in an instant, walked around the plate, and started eating.

The old man looked at the little white mouse and smiled, then raised his face,

"Excuse me, old man."

Lian Ge glanced at the little white mouse that was eating, turned his gaze, and thanked the old man.

"Don't bother, don't bother..."

The old man said with a smile,

"...The old lady left early, and my son works in the city. I am the only one in this room on weekdays, and there are no guests, not even anyone to talk to."

The old man sat down by the door of the main room while talking.

"I've been busy with things in the fields all day long, and I've finished my work early, and it seems that I don't have much to do.

This person is strange to say, sometimes he wants to be quiet, and sometimes he wants to be lively. I have to thank you for being able to talk to the old man for a while. "

"...Try it, taste the noodles and see if it suits your appetite," the old man said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the old man, took a noodle bowl, took a bite of the noodles,

"……pretty good."

"Okay, okay, okay..."

The old man responded and started to eat with the noodle bowl.

"...my son doesn't like to eat noodles. Every time he comes back, he always misses the sausage at home. During the Chinese New Year last year, I made more sausages, thinking that when I have time, Can he come back to see... every month, he will come back from the city in the middle of the month, I will count the days, and in the morning, I will cook sausage for him, and wait for him to come home at noon When it’s time, you can eat it.”

While eating the noodles, the old man looked into the distance and said,

Lian Ge heard the sound and listened quietly,

"...Usually, he should have come back yesterday. I got up early yesterday morning and cooked the sausage, but he didn't come back yesterday... What we ate today was the sausage that was cooked yesterday.

On weekdays, I don't dare to cook this sausage casually, otherwise what will happen if the sausage is finished and he doesn't come back. "

The old man held the noodle bowl, ate the noodles, and said with a smile,

Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at the sliced ​​sausage in the bowl that had just been turned out from the bottom of the bowl, and paused slightly,

"Why didn't the old man call and ask?" Lian Ge looked into the distance and asked aloud,

Hearing this, the old man paused, then shook his head,

"...He bought me a mobile phone, and he also calls home on weekdays... But you said, he is also busy on weekdays, and it is not easy outside. It is not good to always call him for these trivial matters at home. , thinking about these things will also affect his work."

Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the old man, but didn't say much.

"...Young man, were you looking at the other side of the mountain just now?"

After a pause, the old man looked outside the village at the towering peaks,

"Speaking of which, young man, are you here to travel? Those mountains over there are Wudang Mountains. Look there, those palaces and towers on the mountains are all beautiful... still I can't see clearly, when the sky is clearer, those palaces on the mountain can be seen clearly from here."

Lian Ge raised his head slightly when he heard this, and glanced at the palaces and pavilions hidden behind the clouds on the peaks of Wudang Mountain.

"... Hey, when my son was young, he liked to go to that mountain, and told me that when he grows up, he will become a Taoist priest in that Taoist temple, so I gave him a good beating."

The old man looked at the mountains in the distance and said with a smile,

"...At that time, the child's mother was still there, and every New Year's day, the family was poor, and there was nowhere to go, so I went to the mountain for a walk. At that time, the tickets for the mountain were cheap. Ah, I didn't charge any money, so I took my son and his mother to wander around in those palaces and buildings, thinking it was Chinese New Year...

On that peak over there, in a temple, there was an old Taoist priest, who was eighty or ninety years old at that time, with a beard that turned white..."

The old man spoke, raised his hand, and pointed to one of the mountain peaks,

"...The children in the surrounding villages like to pull the Taoist's beard. My son also pulls the beard, and the old Taoist is not angry. He laughs and sometimes gives the children candy..."

The old man said with a smile, and then paused again,

shook his head,

"...A few years ago, that Taoist priest went there. My son is grown up and busy with work, so I don't have time to go up that mountain again. It's been a long time, I haven't gone up there..."

Chapter 257 Sausage

By the door of the main room, the breeze lingers, passing by from time to time,

The clouds and mist surrounding the mountainside in the distance overflow and surge from time to time, revealing the palaces and pavilions hidden behind the clouds and mist.

While talking, the old man held the noodle bowl, looked up slightly in that direction, paused,

"...During the Chinese New Year last year, he came back and told me to pick me up to live in the urban area. I thought about that person who was unfamiliar with the place and didn't know anyone around him. Now that I'm fine, I can still chat in the fields. , there will be no one to talk to at that time, besides, if we go, we will cause trouble for him, don't you think so..."

As the old man said, he looked away from that distance, and after a pause, he continued to eat while holding the noodles.

On the side, Lian Ge listened to the old man's narration, ate the noodles, looked into the distance, and didn't say much.

……

But the old man picked up the bottom with chopsticks, and after turning over the sliced ​​sausage at the bottom of the bowl, the action stopped again.

"...I didn't come back yesterday, I don't know when I will come back this time."

Hearing this, Lian Ge turned his gaze from a distance and glanced at the old man,

"It should be delayed by something. I couldn't come back yesterday. Maybe I will come back today."

Smiling slightly, Lian Ge turned his gaze back and said,

"...That's fine, I'm afraid that something will happen to him outside..." As he spoke, the old man shook his head again, "Young man, let me borrow your good words, let me borrow your good words."

……

"...Hey, what am I going to tell you, I'm sorry, maybe there's been no one in this room for a long time, old man, I'm going to talk about it, and I won't stop talking,"

The old man shook his head, turned his gaze back, and looked at the peak of Wudang Mountain in the distance,

"...Young man, if you want to travel to Wudang Mountain, you shouldn't go through our village. You should go from the other side of the mountain, which is the main entrance. Now, if you want to go there, you have to go around this mountain. Go around in a big circle."

Lian Ge raised his head slightly when he heard the words, and looked at the peaks of Wudang Mountain.

"Thank you, old man, but looking at it from this position, it has a different flavor."

"That's right." The old man paused for a moment, then nodded, "Although our place is far away, it looks more beautiful from a distance than from a closer look..."

Lian Ge listened to the old man's words, holding the noodles in the bowl with chopsticks, and eating, the heat rising from the noodle bowl seemed to blend with the distant clouds in his sight,

"...Here we are, in front of the house door, in the fields, we can see him, the palace, the building, the pagoda stand on the mountain, and when the sun comes out, we can see him all.

Look at that palace, it just emerged from the clouds at this moment, that is the Zixiao Palace, there is another palace next to the Zixiao Palace, but you can't see it now..."

"...These temples were there when I was a child, and I don't know how many years. At that time, when I had nothing to do, I liked to sit on the threshold of the old house, looking over there, and sat for a whole noon.

At that time, the Taoist priests in the temple often came down from here to buy some vegetables in the village... On the mountainside, there was a spring. Before the village had drilled wells, people in the village often went to the spring to dig wells. Water, the Taoist priests in the temple are also fetching water there, the water is sweet...

This time flies so fast, it seems to pass in a flash, I am old, and my son has grown up... Looking at it now, it seems to be standing there like before.

When I'm fine, it's the same as that time, I just sit here for a whole noon..."

Listening to the old man's narration, Lian Ge looked at the mountains outside the village,

Looking from this position, you can see the temple hidden in the clouds and mist, and you can also see the mountains surrounded by clouds and mist.

"...When I was young, when I went up the mountain, I still liked to stand on the cliff, in front of the palace, behind the palace, and look from the mountain to this side, the village, and the location of my house.

Sometimes, you can see it when the sky is clear, and sometimes, you can only see clouds and fog... I just don’t know if I can still see this side from the mountain now. "

While talking, the old man stared at the mountain peak, fell silent for a while, then looked away, and ate his mouth between his noodles.

Lian Ge looked at the mountains and the palaces and pavilions on the mountains, paused for a moment, then looked back,

The noodles and sausages in Lian Ge's bowl have also been eaten, leaving only some noodle soup.

"Young man, do you want to eat some more? I put in some more noodles, and there is still some in the pot. I'll put some in the pot for you." Then, the old man stood up and prepared to put his own bowl on the table. on the side table,

"Thank you, old man. But one bowl is enough." Lian Ge put down his chopsticks, took the noodle bowl, stood up, and thanked him.

Hearing this, the old man paused, then nodded,

"You're welcome, it's good to be full, it's good to be full..."

"I've eaten the noodles too. I've been bothering you for a long time. I should leave." Lian Ge put the bowl and chopsticks aside and said aloud,
