My friends are all over the world

The dilapidated carriage passed the mountain road, it was already winter, the forest was silent, and the mountain wind pierced through the bones.

In the carriage, a teacher with a goatee, in his fifties, was sitting upright, wearing half-worn cotton clothes.He is thin and thin, with no flesh on his face, his cheekbones are high and prominent, but his eyes are very bright.

Lin Xin was sitting next to Xiaonu with his arms in his arms. He was also dressed in cotton, and his figure was thin, like an old cat.

He touched his chin and thought about it, and changed his beard.

Xi Wu turned to look at him, smiled and shook his head: "You changed according to the appearance of your master?"

"I only borrowed the beard." Lin Xin stroked his beard, still a little unaccustomed, "If I didn't become a teacher, I would still want to have the beard of a butcher, the kind that covers my whole face."

Ever-changing Lin Xin.

The missions of the fairy kings in the fairy world are arranged by Nanhua Laojun and cannot be replaced.

This major event of changing the dynasty cannot be achieved overnight, it is a major task that will take decades.

Although it takes a lot of time, it also yields a lot of merit.

Save some every year, and you don’t need to stay in the world all the time, just push the affairs of the world to the track prescribed by the law of heaven.The rest of the matter, heaven will solve.

The general situation of the task is written on the top of the issued document.

It turned out that a few years ago, the imperial court set up a school in Zhenshui Village, and the court sent people to teach it.

However, the village is poor, and those who can find a way have changed positions.Over the past few years, several academic officers have changed.

Chu Qiwu, whom Xiwu transformed into, is the newly appointed academic officer.

He studied in the mountains a few years ago, after he came out of the mountains, he failed in many trials and was detained in the capital city of Wu State together with his younger brother Lin.

It just so happened that one day, an official from the court was worrying about the candidate for a school official in Zhenshui Village, a village of survivors. When the sedan was passing through the street, he lifted the curtain and saw a beggar-like figure outside.

That's him.

Knowing a few words, but not daring to have the desire to climb higher branches, probably can stay in Zhenshui Village safely.

So he was asked to set off immediately to take up the post in Zhenshui Village to teach the Son of Destiny.

——This is Xiwu's document.

In comparison, Lin Xin's documents are much simpler.

There is only one sentence on it: Lin, Chu Qiwu's junior brother, will take office with his senior brother.

Lin Xin frowned: "Why don't I even have a name?"

Xi Wu said: "It's the first time you do this kind of thing, Laojun is afraid that you won't know how to do it, so I will take care of you more."

If you think about it, there are fewer things written on it, which means that he doesn't have much to do.

"Lao Jun wants me to stay in Zhenshui Village and get familiar with it." Lin Xin rubbed the tip of his nose, "But I am the patron saint of Zhenshui Village, should I avoid suspicion?"

"That's not necessary." Qi Wu sighed with a smile, "If you had this kind of ambition, you would have returned to the country long ago. Laojun let you come here, naturally he knows who you are."

Having said that, Lin Xin still has other concerns: "Brother..."

"what happened?"

"I've thought about it and thought about it, but I can't think of anyone in Zhenshui Village who can be regarded as the child of destiny."

"The secret must not be leaked." Qi Wu smiled mysteriously, "I don't know who the senior is, just teach every student in the village well."

Lin Xin leaned back, leaning lazily against the wall of the carriage, and said with downcast eyes: "After all, the Son of Destiny will ascend to the throne, and maybe he will unify the south of the Yangtze River. Before that, there must be wars, the village How many people in the village, the people and soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, can survive?"

Xiwu patted his head: "To seek peace for future generations, the predecessors will not hesitate."

Lin Xin nodded in understanding, then grabbed his beard and shook it in front of him: "Senior brother, I'm already this old, stop touching my head."

"No matter how old you are, you are still a junior brother." Qi Wu said, "What's the matter with petting senior brother?"

The carriage wobbled through a bumpy mountain road and arrived at Zhenshui Village.

Lin Xin got out of the carriage with the cat in his arms, stood beside the carriage in a dignified manner, opened the curtain of the carriage, and reached out to support Qiwu.

"Brother."

Qi Wu didn't speak, he poked his head out of the carriage and handed him his hand.

The carriage was sent by the local government. After the two of them got off, the official sent them the paperwork and their luggage, and drove the carriage back.

Zhenshui Village has already received the governing document for the new school officer to take office.

It was still the old man Lin Xin knew. As the elder of the village, he was accompanied by Lin Zhen and two teenagers, waiting at the entrance of the village to welcome the school officer.

Seeing the two of them coming, he stepped forward to salute Xiwu: "Mr. Chu."

He looked at Lin Xin again with suspicion on his face.

Xi Wu said: "My fellow apprentice, Lin..."

It cannot be said to be "Lin".

Lin Xin hurriedly said, "Lin Wan."

The old man made a bow: "Mr. Lin."

He bowed again: "The two gentlemen came to our village, and we are not far away. Please drink tea in the humble house."

Xi Wu returned the gift: "The old man is polite."

The two of them walked in front hand in hand, talking softly.Lin Xin walked behind with luggage and wooden boxes.

They don't have much luggage-after all, they are "beggars" in the paperwork.It is true that there are not many clothes and belongings, but they have a big box containing books, which is a mission item given by Laojun.

Lin Xin's appearance at this time was definitely an old scholar, a sallow, emaciated old scholar with malnutrition.

The two young men who followed the old man stepped forward and helped him lift the box.

Lin Dao thanked them, and followed them with two blue cloth bundles on his back.

Then a "little girl" came up to help him.

Lin Zhen said: "The mountain road is inconvenient, Mr. Lin be careful."

Lin Xin nodded again and again: "Okay, thank you."

Soon they arrived at the old man's house, and several famous old men in the village were already waiting in front of the door, greeted each other, and took their seats in the hall.

Lin Xin sat down next to him, quietly listening to Xi Wu talking with the old people.

Suddenly an old man turned his head and said to Lin Dao: "Mr. Chu's words are of high righteousness. I think Mr. Lin is as knowledgeable as his senior brother."

Lin Xin didn't like reading, and he didn't read much when he was in this world—he was blind.

He smiled and replied: "I don't dare to compare with the senior brother. I have only average knowledge, and usually just follow the senior brother and help the senior brother grind ink and clean."

"Mr. Lin is modest."

Lin Xin took a sip of the crude tea and smiled honestly.

They talked for a while, and it was almost noon, so they were invited to sit down.

The old man said: "In the countryside, there is simple tea and light food, and I will clean up the dust for the two gentlemen, please."

It was still he and Xi Wu who walked in front hand in hand, and the rest of the elders and Lin Xin followed behind.

During the banquet, the old man tentatively said to Xiwu: "After the previous school official left, the children in the village are all studying in Taoxi Town not far away, and the school has not been cleaned for a long time. In addition to the cold winter, Mr. The water and soil are not acclimatized, it is better to rest for a while..."

Probably because he was afraid that this school officer would be like the previous ones, dislike their small village, look down on country children, and only use this position as a stepping stone, and he will leave soon.

So the old man would ask him that.

Xi Wu put down his bamboo chopsticks, and said seriously: "Study should not be neglected for a while. Winter is cold, but it is the slack season. I will take a rest today, and I can teach tomorrow."

The people in the village were relieved, and they became more and more affectionate to the new school officials.

Lin Xin concentrates on eating with the bowl in his hand, the food in Zhenshui Village is still as delicious as before.

Because there are not many students, the school in Zhenshui Village is not big.

A small courtyard with a courtyard, the front of the hall is the school, and the back is the place where the school officials live.

The elders at the banquet said that the school hadn't been cleaned for a long time, but they were actually testing it.

The school is like the Xianjun Temple, it is cleaned every few days, and it is spotless.

Lin Xin simply wiped the utensils in the house, and put the mission props that Laojun gave them—the box of books on the bookshelf. When he was cleaning the yard with a broom, Lin Zhen came to deliver things with a basket.

"Mr. Lin, let me sweep it, and be careful not to fall."

Lin Xin was startled for a moment, but then he came to his senses.

He is now a middle-aged and elderly man with osteoporosis, and he is prone to fractures after a fall.

He said, "No, no, I'll finish it right away."

Lin Zhen glanced at this gentleman, and saw his peach blossom eyes, the brilliance in his eyes seemed familiar.I think that when he was young, he should be that kind of person who is romantic and beautiful, and when he is old, he has some grace on him.

Lin Xin leaned the broom behind the door and asked, "Your grandfather asked you to come and deliver things?"

"Well, here are some grains for the winter. Grandpa said that the government's salary has not yet come down, and the gentlemen cannot go to class hungry."

Lin Xin took the basket: "Then thank you, Grandpa, for me and senior brother."

Lin Zhen responded, and before leaving, she looked back again.

Lin Xin understood, and asked again: "Have you ever attended a lecture in a school?"

"Yes." Lin Zhen nodded, "Grandpa always pleads with the school officials so that girls in the village can also enroll in the school."

"That's good, you come here as usual tomorrow."

"I've always been the one cleaning the school, so let me do the cleaning."

Lin Xin smiled and said, "If you really want to help, then you can cook. Neither my senior nor I know how to cook."

"Okay..." Lin Zhen paused, "It just so happens that the family hasn't cooked yet, if the two gentlemen don't know how to do it, why don't you come to my house to eat, go now, go now."

He was a little anxious, and said again: "Mr. Chu is in the study, right? I'll call him."

He hurriedly pushed the two people out of the door, but he turned back.

"I'll clean the yard for the gentlemen before I go back."

Qiwu felt strange, so he wanted to ask him, but was stopped by Lin Xin.

"Brother, go first, I'll go back quietly to have a look." Lin Dao said, "I know this kid."

After Xi Wu left, Lin Xin stood outside the door, looking in through the crack of the door.

I saw Lin Zhen opened a large wooden box placed in front of the hall, which should contain things that the previous school officials hadn't had time to take away.

Lin Zhen took out a dagger from inside, a literati saber, but this sword is not a good sword.

After looking at it for a while, he put the sword back, and took out a bow from the box.

That bow probably wasn't left by the student officer.This kind of crude bow is only used for hunting in the countryside.

Probably Lin Zhen begged Orion in the village to make it for him.

He didn't dare to make gestures in front of people, he was afraid of causing trouble to Grandpa, and he didn't practice at home, so he practiced in the school in a little time every day when he cleaned the school.

It turned out to be the case.

Lin Xin understood, and knocked on the door twice.

Lin Zhen got up and looked back.

Lin Xin pushed the door open and went in: "I forgot to take something."

Lin Zhen subconsciously hid the bow behind her back.

But he didn't seem to see it, imitating the appearance of an old man with blurred vision, squinting his eyes and walking in.

He walked up to Lin Zhen, as if he saw the bow and arrow in his hand at this moment, and said with a smile: "Little girl, you have a bright future."

Lin Zhen didn't expect him to say that, and was speechless for a moment.

Lin Xin said again: "It seems that you are practicing secretly, where are you planning to hide this thing next?"

"There is a fairy temple in the village, I think..." Lin Zhen whispered, "The fairy will not mind."

Of course Xianjun would not mind.

"But there is no target in the Xianjun Temple. Leave it here with me. I won't tell your grandfather, you can come here at any time. I'll make a target for you with straw tomorrow."

Lin Zhen looked up at him and nodded solemnly: "Thank you sir."

Lin Xin walked to the large table in front of the hall, picked up the glazed mirror on the table, and put it on the bridge of his nose.

It really seemed that something was missing, and when I came back to pick it up, I bumped into Lin Zhen.

Lin Xin helped the glass mirror and squinted his eyes: "Then go back to eat now."

"Yes." Lin Zhen asked suddenly, "But how did Mr. know that there are no targets in the Xianjun Temple?"

"Are there any targets in a normal Xianjun Temple?"

Grandpa Lin Xin glared at him.You still want to talk to me, little brat.

Later, Lin Xin stabbed a target in the yard.

Gu Yuan sent him a message with a consonance: "Is the mission going well?"

Probably because he didn't dare to disturb him during the day, and only dared to talk to him at night.

Lin Xin pushed the glazed mirror on the bridge of his nose, and tied the straw tightly: "Of course it will go well if I have a brother with me."

"Where are you?"

"It makes you think that you will never think that I am in Zhenshui Village. It may be a coincidence, or it may be deliberately arranged by Laojun."

"Are you free right now?"

"Well, you want to come and see me?"

Lin Xin thought for a while, and then said, "But you'd better not come here."

"Why?"

"I've changed my appearance. I'm very ugly. When I'm with you, I look like an old bull... Well, that's what it is. I feel inferior now."

After a while, the little slave he brought with him scratched the ground with his paws.

Xiao Nu didn't like Gu Yuan very much in the past, although Gu Yuan took him for a few days, but as long as Gu Yuan and Lin Xin were together, he didn't like Gu Yuan.

Lin Xin was sitting under the eaves with his feet crossed, carefully fiddling with straw.

Someone sat down beside him and said, "It's beautiful."

"Yuanyuan, if you keep praising me so hard, I will have some wrong perceptions about myself..." Lin Xin threw away the straw and turned to look at Gu Yuan.

However, he saw that Gu Yuan did not look like an emperor, but just like him, turned into a middle-aged emperor.

Now they are the same.

Lin Xin stroked his white hair and beard, and said with a smile, "You are very good."

Gu Yuan looked into his eyes and said again: "It's very beautiful, it looks good anytime."

"I don't know, I thought I had cast a spell on you." Lin Xin took off the glazed mirror and put it on the bridge of his nose, "Here, I'll put it on for you, I'll put it on for you. Next time you see me, please be more serious." , take a closer look."

Lin Xin leaned back and looked at him from a distance: "It's pretty pretty."

After Gu Yuan got old, he felt a little less cold and cold, but wearing this thing was a bit refined.

Lin Xin compiled the list of beauties from the six worlds, seeking advice from Gu Yuan Xishan, Tianchi opera "Male Fish", it seems that they are all motivated by sex, and they value beauty very much.

At this time, he smiled at this emperor with white hair and beard and no longer face.

Gu Yuan glanced at the straw he threw on the ground, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Make a target. Ah Zhen wants to practice archery, so I'll make one for him."

He was going to tie the straw into little bundles, and then coil them all into a circle.

He doesn't know how to make this kind of thing, and it's still a mess since dinner.

Gu Yuan picked up the straw on the ground: "I'll do it."

Lin Xin supported his head and asked, "Does this count as meddling in human affairs?"

Gu Yuan quickly said: "With you, is there still less human affairs to meddle in?"

Lin Xin tugged at his white beard, feigned anger and said, "Damn old man, be more careful with what you say."

"Where did you get your nickname?"

"When I came back at night, I passed a house, and someone inside shouted."

"Don't shout." Gu Yuan said lightly, "It's too stupid."

"Oh." Lin Xin approached with a smile, looked him in the eyes, "Then call you—"

He thought about it seriously for a while, then raised his eyebrows: "Pretty old fish?"

When he was young, he was a beautiful little fish, but when he was old, he was naturally an "old fish".

Gu Yuan bowed his head: "Didn't you say to put Lin Zhen in the target? You won't promise him back."

Lin Xin didn't care: "If I don't know how, I can still ask the people in the village."

Before Gu Yuan came here, Lin Xin was serious by himself; after Gu Yuan came, Lin Xin couldn't concentrate, humming a song and teasing him at the same time.

He wrapped his fingertips around Gu Yuan's white hair, looked at Gu Yuan again, and said in a low voice, "It's so good, I'm graying with Gu Xianjun."

Gu Yuan's hands paused, and he responded, "En."

After setting the target, Lin Xin asked his brother for some paint, painted it, and wanted to put it in the yard to dry.

Gu Yuan said, "It's going to snow, put it inside."

He picked up the target and moved it down the corridor.

Lin Xin stretched his waist: "Go out for a walk together?"

"it is good."

Gu Yuan turned his head, but saw that he had changed into his original appearance.

Lin Xin explained: "Didn't you say it's going to snow? It's not a joke for an old man to fall in the snow. If he breaks his leg, it's not because a stone broke his leg. Take a dip in Tianchi It will be fine."

Gu Yuan also changed into his original appearance, stepped forward and took his hand.

Late at night, all the lights in Zhenshui Village have been turned off, except for a dim yellow lantern under the willow tree at the head of the village.

What Gu Yuan said was indeed correct. The two of them walked along the river in Zhenshui Village not far away, and fine and small snow particles fell from the sky.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Yuan saw crystal snowflakes on Lin Xin's shoulders and hair.

He wanted to raise his hand to help him wipe it off, but suddenly remembered what Lin Xin said just now.

"It's great, I've grown old with Gu Xianjun."

Later, Lin Xin stood on tiptoe and poked a few times on the thin snow-covered ground.

"Look, Yuanyuan, my footprints are the same as Xiaonu's."

Unable to stand still for a while, Lin Xin grabbed his shoulders.
