[Gu Jian] slipped on the spot

To ward off evil spirits for 64 years and become an adult - the premise is that they are nourished by enough demon power in Tianlu City.This little evil spirit called Beiluo followed us around in the world, and it took 300 years to finally transform into form, and finally learned to speak ten years after the transformation.

Brother Qin, who seemed to regard himself as an old father, was very happy, and wished to pass on all he knew and learned to this poor boy on the spot, but it was a pity that the poor boy had no literary talent, so Brother Qin had to settle for second best and teach him to be serious. After several years of nurturing, Beiluo has turned into a little kid with ink in his stomach.

The reason why he is called a poor boy is because he is like a mischievous three thousand questions all day long, following behind us asking questions, asking questions about this and that, it is very annoying.Qin brother can patiently answer his questions one by one, but these two days we settled in Zhongzhou, Qin brother stayed in the Natural History Society these two days, and a group of astronomers represented by Ge Shu discussed the recent astronomical phenomena. In the symposium and debate meeting, the matter of taking care of the children fell on my shoulders.

I am illiterate, of course it is impossible to teach Beiluo to read.Ritual and music archery, I can at best teach him archery, but unfortunately he doesn't have much interest in archery, at most he can only cultivate himself, and I don't expect him to be a wall archer.

A month ago, Brother Qin watched Bei Luo become obsessed with "The Legend of the Rivers and Lakes", so he cut a wooden toy sword to fulfill the classical martial arts dream of a wave of children.The little boy was so happy that he woke up before dawn every day, screaming and swinging his sword. Those who knew it said he was imitating the sword dance in the play, but those who didn't know thought he was dancing the Erbai dance.

Dancing belongs to dancing, and the little boy is quite worry-free. When Brother Qin is away, he still lives a three-point-one-line life of learning-playing sword-learning-playing sword.I saw him waving his sword wildly for two days and finally couldn't stand it any longer, so I called him in and stuffed a book of basic movements for beginners in martial arts.

Me: "Before practicing the sword, stand in the five gaits first."

Bei Luo flipped through the first two pages and said without hesitation, "You teach me."

Me: "Climb."

Having said that, I still taught him the gait form for a long time, until his movement posture and force point were correct, I lay back on the rattan chair and watched Ping Yaochuan.

Me: "If you still have this interest after seven days, I'll find you some good mentors."

Bei Luo, standing on the sidelines, said, "What is a good mentor?"

Me: "Generally speaking, instructors are divided into four categories: shallow morality and shallow skills, shallow morality and deep skills, thick morality and shallow skills, and thick moral skills. The first type of people must stay away as soon as possible, and the latter two types of people can be regarded as good for the time being. If you are lucky enough to meet a master with great virtue and skill, you should seize the opportunity and let him be your good teacher and helpful friend."

Bei Luo: "Then what is the correct concept of swordsmanship?"

Me: "The word correct is often not certain. Everyone has their own standards. If you want to be a gentleman, all cultivation including kendo is to hone your body and mind, so that you Here, here, here, all have a relatively solid foundation." I raised my fist, stretched out my fingers, and poked his forehead and heart.

Bei Luo pouted: "I just want to be the number one swordsman in the world."

Me: "If you want to be number one in the world, you need to have heart, swordsmanship, and wisdom. The most important thing is to find your own way. But this is not something you have to consider. Go outside for an hour. Tired of thinking about being a swordsman again."

Bei Luo: "You are good at archery, what is your way?"

Me: "I'll have pork glutinous rice balls tonight."

Bei Luo: "...I know that I want to eat glutinous rice balls tonight, and I want sesame stuffing. I mean, what is your way?"

Me: "Eating pork glutinous rice balls is my way, then you can climb."

Then Beiluo continued to practice.

After noon, I took Bei Luo out to buy ingredients for making glutinous rice balls—in fact, Brother Qin came to cook and buy vegetables in the past. My daily life is to enjoy life and farm. Once.

In order to exercise Bei Luo's eloquence and face, let him know that rice, oil, salt, tea and vinegar are hard-won. I have always bought things very casually, and I have taught Bei Luo the skills of shopping around and bargaining, so that Bei Luo, who has never spent money when going shopping with Brother Qin, has gradually become interested in the interesting activity of bargaining from the initial stupefied.

The consequence of the above is that Bei Luo, who was kneading the dough with me in the kitchen, was still a little unsatisfied: "Why did you just buy some things after asking the price?"

Me: "Some people are very honest. They sell things to make ends meet, and the price is fair. They shouldn't kill people for food. Some people do business for the money in your pocket. Such people should bargain with them. But it shouldn’t be too much, it should make him earn some money back—in a word, he must learn to be considerate of others’ efforts to survive while maintaining his own life.”

Bei Luo nodded suddenly, and said: "No wonder Mr. often says that all living beings are suffering, and it's not easy to be more sympathetic to others. But if you can't have both, what should you do?"

"It depends on which one you value more. In the end, it's a choice based on your heart, but the priorities are different." I squeezed the glutinous rice balls quickly, "Brother Qin and Xie Yi are the kind of people who would rather be wronged than hurt others." A gentleman, such a person is happy even if he sacrifices himself for his ideal. I am on the contrary, if I am unhappy, I usually don’t think about others.”

He half-understood, as if he remembered something again, while kneading the dough in his hand into a dough and throwing it into the flour pile beside me, he looked up at me in confusion: "Mr. A like-minded person', but you and your husband seem to have completely different aspirations, and even have completely different ways of dealing with the world. You can still sleep when your husband is playing the Dragon Song of the Sea—how did you come together? "

I pointed to the big bowl with sesame stuffing in his hand, and he immediately pushed the bowl over knowingly.After I sifted the pork balls and packed them, I started making sesame glutinous rice balls again.

I said, "Haven't you read the Analects? 'Gentlemen are harmonious but different'."

Bei Luo: "... I have read it. Although I have no friends, I don't think this sentence is used in this way."

Me: "Hey, you know a lot, crawl."

As soon as I finished talking about climbing, Brother Qin came back.

It seemed that Brother Qin was very satisfied with this symposium. When he came back, he had a happy face and brought a faucet lamp for Bei Luo to play with, saying it was a gift from the Natural History Society.Bei Luo got a new toy and didn't even care about the glutinous rice balls. After washing his hands, he ran to the corner to play with lanterns, so I simply let him go outside to play.

Brother Qin had already taken off his coat when he came back, and now he is rolling up his sleeves and showing his arms to help with work.

Me: "You don't need to do it, you wash a clean new copper coin and give it to me."

He: "Want to wrap it in Yuanxiao?"

Me: "Yes, in order to break out the little boy's teeth, I'll pack one for you if you want."

Brother Qin smiled and shook his head, took out a copper coin, washed it, and handed it to me.I wrapped it in the last dose and threw it into the powder pile of sesame glutinous rice balls.

Sift powder, pack into bags, and call it a day.I washed my hands, took three new bowls and adjusted the soup, leaned on the desk and looked at Brother Qin, who was pulling the bellows, and asked, "Is there anything new at this meeting? Or did I meet someone?" ?”

He smiled slightly: "Madam Ge's division has developed an instrument called the 'Rongtian Instrument', which seems to be able to actively capture and store power. Although it is only a crude prototype, it is quite surprising. They seem to be Ambitious to explore the origin and generation of spiritual power."

I thought about it: "Is that the school that is always ridiculed for its whimsical ideas? It's really rare to have such a result. But, you don't have itchy hands to give them some technical guidance?"

Brother Qin shook his head humbly: "What Xie Yizhi and I have learned is just to use the spiritual energy in ourselves and external objects in Yanjia. I haven't considered how it originated. I just donated some Give them the spirit stone, and the faucet lamp will be the reward." There was steam rising, he lifted the lid of the pot, let me pour the dumplings in, added fire to boil the water, and started to cook the dumplings, "Is this from Beiluo? "

"Yes, cook his share first, or he will cry after a while." I said, "Speaking of which, do you know a teacher who is knowledgeable and good at fighting? It's best to use a sword."

He poured a spoonful of cold water into the boiling water, and turned to look at me when he heard that, "Ah Xian wants to find Mr. Bei Luo?"

I nodded: "I'm not a character who would be willing to stay where I am, but running around all the time is not suitable for children's growth. Anyway, he has already transformed and learned to speak, otherwise let him stay in the crowd Well, this way we can find playmates who can talk with us."

He pondered for a while, and said, "It's not that I've never thought about what you said. A month ago, Junzi Qu also wrote a letter, saying that he couldn't get used to the turmoil in the officialdom. He resigned from the official position early and traveled around with his wife. Now he intends to retire to Qixia. To open a school, you might as well entrust Beiluoto to them."

More than ten years ago, when we were in Luzhou, we met Qu Hanting and Xie Rou, who were debriefing in Beijing.Qu Hanting is also an all-rounder. Brother Qin hit it off with him and treated each other with the courtesy of a gentleman. The two called each other "Mr. Zhu", "Gentleman Qu", "Mr.Xie Rou is also gentle and talkative. The couple don't mind that Bei Luo is an idiot who can't even speak clearly, but they like him sincerely.Although Bei Luo was a fool at that time, he also knew who was sincerely treating him well, and cried for a long time when we parted.

"Qu Hanting and Xie Rou?" I thought for a while, "It's okay, then go to Qixia in two days and throw him out. Just in time, I can return to the Demon Realm and return the voice to Nightmare."

The sound thing, in fact, should be returned a long time ago.Unexpectedly, he picked up a stinky evil spirit that had a deep resistance to the demon realm, and this matter has been delayed.

"Don't talk about this." Brother Qin raised his lips and smiled, picked up the colander to fish out the glutinous rice balls, I tacitly pushed the bowl to his hand, and he also scooped the cooked glutinous rice balls into the sugar water soup with kindness. Want to go out to admire the moon?"

Me: "But I have to think about combing my hair and getting dressed when I go out. It's so troublesome."

He laughed, "During these hundreds of years, why has Ah Xian combed her own hair?" I thought about it for a while, and then I heard him say, "I made new clothes for you two a few days ago. Go try it."

"All right." I handed him the glutinous rice balls stuffed with pork, "You cook first, and I'll ask the little boy to eat the glutinous rice balls."

As soon as the sky darkened, fireworks began to be set off in the sky outside, and there were Kongming lanterns slowly rising into the sky between the colorful lights.The streets and alleys are decorated with lights and festoons, the cars are like flowing water and the horses are like dragons, and there are an endless stream of tourists, which is very lively.

The strong brother Qin held Beiluo who was happily eating candied haws with one hand, and led me slowly through the crowd with the other. From time to time, he bought something for the little kid who didn't know he was about to be pushed out, or stopped at the stall Guess a lantern riddle before, and all the gadgets won will be given to Bei Luo.I looked up at the fireworks in the sky, and saw the green little dragon fireworks exploding in the sky. I was a little shocked and poked Brother Qin: "Look, brother Qin! So there are really little dragon people in the world!"

Brother Qin looked up, still calm, and smiled gently: "Ah Xian was so determined when he talked about Xiaolong people and the Dragon Star Chamber of Commerce back then, why is he so surprised now?"

I said: "When you bluff people, you must be confident-no, but I have never seen this firework pattern in the world, why did I see it here this year?"

Brother Qin smiled: "It's probably the whimsy of people in the Natural History Society."

I thought about it: "It makes sense."

In front of the Temple of the Immortals after the night, there are opera troupes performing festive operas, and there are troupes performing dragon lantern dances on stage.Bei Luo was tired of watching performances like dragon lanterns, so he squatted down under the stage with his face propped up to watch the troupe play with knives and guns, but when he saw the scene where the brothers reconciled as before on the stage, he suddenly thought of how he was lost when he was a child, and Wang Di cried come out.A kind middle-aged man next to him stuffed a candy for him, and asked with a smile: "Little brother, this is a fun show, why are you crying?"

Bei Luo took the candy and thanked uncle, then sniffled and said, "I, my brother doesn't want me anymore, and my family doesn't want me anymore. If it wasn't for husband and wife, I would have died a long time ago."

The man was also very sad when he heard the words: "Don't be discouraged, little brother, maybe your brother just thinks that you are living well like this, so he doesn't dare to disturb you." He stuffed him with another candy.

Bei Luo took the candy and asked him half-believingly, "Really?"

"Really, I won't lie to you. To tell you the truth, I also have a younger brother. My family used to be very poor, and my younger brother was abandoned by his parents when he was born." He said, "After my parents passed away, I didn't It was as difficult as it was at the beginning, so I finally found my younger brother after many twists and turns. Only then did I know that he had been adopted by a wealthy family as his own son, so I didn’t recognize him anymore.”

Bei Luo asked, "Then why don't you meet your younger brother?"

He smiled brightly and openly, and said: "He is living so well now, and he has no shadow of being abandoned at all. If I rashly recognize him for the sake of my brother's vanity, wouldn't it make him sad because of the old things? I He is a timid person, I can't do these things in the drama, I just need to know that he has been living well, and that's fine."

Only then did Bei Luo suddenly nodded, and gave him the small lamp in his hand: "You are also sad to be separated from your brother. You take this."

He didn't refuse, he took out the light and took out a piece of candy and stuffed it to Bei Luo, saying: "Little brother, people can't decide their own origin and destiny, but you have to look at it carefully, no matter what reason your original family will leave you, you can't decide your own destiny." You don't have to force yourself to forgive when you throw it away. The days are still long, don't cling to those fates that are destined not to come back, and know how to cherish the present, understand?"

Bei Luo held three candies, nodded firmly, and said, "Got it!"

The man laughed loudly and disappeared into the crowd amidst the beating of gongs and drums.

The author has something to say:

rewritten.

In fact, the Xiaolongren fireworks were commissioned by Qin Ge to study xd from the Natural History Society. He was so happy to come back from the symposium because he learned that the people from the Natural History Society would set off the Xiaolongren fireworks to show off their skills at night.
