for evil

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the time in the world is always faster than that on Tianyu Mountain, and it is a year in the blink of an eye.

Tan Yuan also seems to have been reborn, with a layer of smoke and fire in the world: his face has changed from being as cold as ice to always wearing a faint smile; When he was looking for a beautiful daughter-in-law, Tan Yuan would politely refuse: "I'm not in a hurry, at least I'll wait until Ah Ming finds someone he likes." The little scholar scratched his head and smirked: "I always think it's me. I've dragged you down..."

Tan Yuan no longer habitually and deliberately alienates everything from the outside world, and treats it like an outsider. He learns to place himself in it, to feel and experience it, and then he loves it more and more, and sinks deeper into it...

But compared to everything in the world, what Tan Yuan knows best is about the little scholar. In the past six months, he gradually learned a lot about the little scholar: he knew that the little scholar was the only teacher in Tianyu Village, and taught There were about twenty children in the village, and the child named Xiaoxi he rescued was one of them.They hold books every day, occupying a dilapidated house in the east of the village as a school, shaking their heads and talking about the knowledge of "Zhihu Zheye".

The little scholar is very patient. Whether it is for students who keep asking strange questions or for others, the little scholar will always listen carefully and then give the most reasonable suggestions.Sometimes when husbands and wives in the village quarrel, they will drag them to the little scholar, and let the embarrassed little scholar judge...

There is another admirable skill of the little scholar, and that is cooking.Every day, I hold different kitchen books and study new dishes, and I never miss it, because the tradition of "eating hundreds of meals" in Tianyu Village has benefited many neighbors.Tan Yuan looked at the young scholar's skillful appearance in the kitchen, and thought of Luohan's century-old wine, and felt that some things really depend on talent...

Tan Yuan asked the young scholar why he didn't try the scientific examination, maybe he could get the first place in one fell swoop and become famous from then on.The little scholar shook his head and smiled purely: "I think life is pretty good now. I don't want to be a high-ranking official and be bound by rules and regulations." Tan Yuan asked about his future plans again, and the little scholar held his head in thought For a long time: "If possible, I want to live like this forever, stay here forever, with everyone and you..." Tan Yuan looked into the clear eyes of the little scholar, and ripples quietly began to appear in his peaceful heart: only a hundred years That's all, if you stay here all the time, it won't be a problem, right?

The little scholar usually looks dignified and dignified, but he also hides a runaway lazy horse in his heart. He usually eats, drinks and drinks peacefully, but after staying for a long time, it is inevitable that his heart is like a wild horse and wants to go out to let the wind go.After a year and a half, he will leave Tianyu Village to see the outside world.In the past, he had nothing to worry about, and he only followed his own preferences, climbing high mountains, wading through deep rivers, and going to strange forests... But now that Tanyuan has come, the little scholar is a little embarrassed, although the little scholar The place to go was not too far, but I was afraid that Tan Yuan would be unwilling or that there would be a mistake; leaving him alone at home was also afraid that it would violate the way of hospitality, and also afraid that he would inevitably be lonely.So, the little scholar shook his head, shook off the idea of ​​running out from time to time, and seriously stayed at home flipping through books, reading a book of mountains and seas over and over again.

After the little scholar fell asleep one day, Tan Yuan picked up the book that he had left beside him, and saw that a page had been turned a bit worn out, so he paid attention to it, opened it carefully, and remembered the book called Zhao Yao. mountain place.

At night, after both of them lay down, Tan Yuan said, "I want to go for a walk."

The little scholar beside him was shocked, turned around, and his voice was full of excitement: "How about I walk with you? Where are you going? I have been around here, where do you want to go? I will take you out to see?"

Tan Yuan said: "Earlier I heard that there is a land called Zhaoyao Mountain, and the mountain is full of osmanthus trees. If you go there now, then it will be the season when the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant. It should be good."

The little scholar stood up in an instant: "You think so too?! That's great, I think so too."

Tan Yuan turned around and closed his eyes: "Then go to bed earlier, if you really have this plan, you can slowly get ready."

The little scholar nodded, lay down, and even the movement of turning over was full of joy: "Before I was alone, no matter how far I walked, I could only walk a hundred miles away. Afterwards, all kinds of worries and fears attack me, fearing that I will encounter wild animals, and no one will collect the body when I die; I live in a country hotel, and I am afraid that after entering a black shop, I will be murdered for money, and I will never die. When they came back, Xiaoxi and the others didn’t know about it, and they just kept watching their teacher come back...Actually, I’m still quite timid, right?”

Tan Yuan smiled: "If you are really timid, you don't have to go all the way to Tianyu Mountain."

The little scholar said: "At that time, I only thought that the people in this village lived and worked in peace and contentment. Although they all wanted to help Xiaoxi, they still took care of their families...Only I have nothing to worry about, and I understand that Xiaoxi I wish that feeling, his mother is his only relative, if his mother is really gone, then the only thread connecting him with this world will be broken... It will take a long time to feel that feeling of being no longer connected with the world walk out……"

Tan Yuan turned around and met the little scholar's hazy eyes.

It took a while for the little scholar to crack a smile: "Don't look at me like that, I'm fine now, look, the neighbors take care of me like that..."

"I'll accompany you." Although the words that reached Xu Ming's ears were soft, they sounded loud in Xu Ming's heart.

Xu Ming raised his eyes, reflected Tan Yuan's expression in his eyes, and heard him softly say: "I will accompany you to re-establish contact with this world..."

The little scholar frowned.

Tan Yuan swallowed the remaining half of the sentence lightly, he wanted to say: Just treat it as your reward for bringing me into the world...

After three days of preparation, the little scholar and Tan Yuan set out on the road with two borrowed skinny horses and two large rations.

Although the road is full of twists and turns, it is also considered stable.The sweet-scented osmanthus on Fuyao Mountain is about to pass its flowering period, but it has also caught up with the golden and fragrant scenery all over the mountain.

The two of them enjoyed it there for two days, and a heavy rain on the third day wiped out all the yellow color of the mountain.

The little scholar looked at the osmanthus tree with only the color of the wall, and felt a little regretful: "I don't know when I will see this kind of scenery next time."

Tan Yuan said: "There are more beautiful scenery in this world than this one, we still have time."

The little scholar's gloomy expression lit up: "Then let's go to one place every year until we see all the scenery in this world."

"Okay." Tan Yuan said.

Looking at the shining eyes of the little scholar, Tan Yuan thought, why not just spend these hundred years of the world with him?

It's only a hundred years, but it's a little less...
