The sky is dark and the mountain peaks are covered with clouds. There are two swordsmen standing at both ends of the chain bridge at the foot of the mountain.
The young man wears white clothes and the old man wears black robe. Dressed in white, hunting in the long wind, he has an indescribable air of grace.
The dream came to an abrupt end. The young man raised his face for no reason and looked around blankly. He ignored the red marks on his head caused by a deep sleep, but all he saw was the sound of books in the school, and the men and women of his classmates shaking their heads and reciting poems. The clear and sunny sky outside the window lattice swayed like the head of Mr. Jade's water.
"Morning class only lasts two hours, and you look like a dead pig while sleeping. Yun Zhong, you are the only one in the Yi family."
The young man named Yun Zhong stretched and glanced sideways at the lean classmate who was winking at him. He curled his lips and didn't say anything in reply. He just silently moved the book towards him, making a small space.
What he actually wants to say is, aren't you yourself like a skinny monkey? But after thinking about it for a while, I swallowed this sentence wholeheartedly and closed my eyes to rest.
The classmate who is as lean as a monkey is named Li Dakuai. I think his grandfather locked himself in the room for three days to come up with the name. It means "pleasant people", but Li Dakuai didn't I felt that it was very satisfying, but I was very disgusted in my heart. I always muttered that sooner or later I would change my name to something more famous.
Seeing Yun Zhong move, Li Daqun's face brightened, he tidied up the knick-knacks on the table and put them all on the empty table vacated by Yun Zhong. Although Li Dakui's ability to articulate words is average, his skills are really good. Without the effort of burning an incense stick, a jumping frog can fly at most as far as a sparrow. As long as he has a bunch of tough aquatic plants and reeds by the river in his hand, he can weave them together neatly.
After making such an ingenious friend, Yunzhong's status in Yi Zhai was half as high as usual. The young man was playful and very interested in the novel objects that Li Dakuai tinkered with. Many of his classmates used brand-new brushes to exchange sparrows made of reeds with Li Dakuai. They were so vivid that they were protected like treasures. Others would be pretentious even if they wanted to take a look at them. .
Even though Li Dakuai is usually easy to talk to, it is not easy to be friends with him. He is angry and has a bad temper. No matter what your neighbor's aunt's children are, he still chokes on his words and can't get off the stage. At this time, I want to ask him for a little something. It's just a fool's errand. Except for Mr. Yun Zhong, the only one in the school who could control him was Yunzhong who could barely control this stubborn donkey. Everyone knew that making friends with Yun Zhong was like making friends with Li Dakuai, so they all got close to Yun Zhong.
As for why Yun Zhong was able to suppress Li Dakui, it was probably because these two lazy guys had the same temper, so they were quite sympathetic to each other.
When class was over, Yunzhong had a delicate reed sparrow in his hand. He teased the sparrow with his fingers, and the young man walked home leisurely. The owner of the wonton stall on the roadside smiled and said hello to the young man, asking him if he would like a bowl of hot, ironed wontons from the Dazhan White Noodles that had just arrived yesterday. Yunzhong shook his head. His mother had already prepared a meal and was waiting at home. It was not appropriate to spend that wasted money.
It was getting late, and the western horizon was already a little red. Children were dragging old paper kites with their bare feet. Silver bell-like laughter spread through the alleys, followed by a few scoldings from women. Yun Zhong smiled and touched his hungry belly. Home was already in front of him.
Sometimes, there is no need to wonder why the boy is smiling for no reason, it may just be because he smells the aroma of rice coming out of his own chimney.
Yun Zhong's mother was married from a big place. Compared with the women in small towns, she was a little more educated and sensible, but she was quite weak. Later, after discussing with her father, she no longer worked as a textile girl and simply stayed at home. He takes care of Yunzhong's daily life. Fortunately, Yunzhong's father had a good job. Although he was away from home all year round and his family was not overly wealthy, it was still enough for him to have enough food and clothing.
When it comes to cleaning up housework, Mother Yun Zhong has a big problem. After all, children from wealthy families are not as good as poor children who have been exposed to it since childhood. But taking care of Yunzhong in terms of food and clothing is known to neighbors far and near. Therefore, although Yunzhong is not old, he is already more than seven feet tall and has a fair complexion. The women around him always praise Yunzhong that his mother is really good at raising children, whether it is polite or polite. From the bottom of my heart, my mother would always smile from ear to ear at this time and say that this child is like his grandpa, tall and tall.
After the meal, Yun Zhong looked at his mother with a naughty look. As expected, she got a few laughs and slaps, but her mother still gave Yun Zhong a copper coin. The young man was so happy that he couldn't help but rush out, clutching the copper coins he had cheated for, and went to the southern bookstall to buy a picture album.
There is a book stall in the south of the town all year round. The stall owner spreads an oilcloth on the side of the road and piles yellowed old books on it neatly, paying a copper coin for each book, no matter how thick or thin it is. You can browse freely at bookstalls elsewhere, and the stall owners won't care too much, but people in small towns are cash-strapped, and if they are allowed to browse for free, they may not be able to do business in a few months. The young man has been obsessed with picture books in the past two years. Coincidentally, this bookstall has a complete set of "The Legend of Heroes". The characters are very vividly drawn, and the stories are interlocking with ups and downs. As soon as he gets started, the young man is immersed in it and cannot extricate himself.
Unfortunately, there was really no money left at home, and it would often take several months to buy a book to satisfy her cravings. Yun Zhong knew how hard it was for his mother to squeeze out a penny from her purse, so she almost never reached out. She took great care of the picture albums she bought, washing them carefully before reading them. clean double
hands to avoid soiling the pages.
The young man's heart was so happy that he almost jumped out of his throat. As a result, the wind was blowing under his feet and the dust was flying. Just when the neighbor Aunt An went out to chat with Yun Zhongniang about home affairs, dust passed by in front of her eyes, causing Aunt An to cough twice, scolding the boy in a dumbfounded voice, and not forgetting to call the young man to slow down.
Taking the book into his hands and wrapping it in the cloth, Yunzhong's heart dropped back into his chest. Taking advantage of the perfect moonlight and nothing happening at home, the young man ran to the wall near the entrance of the town where Widow Ma was drying pickles. , randomly grabbed a few handfuls of broken thatch to pad his buttocks, and carefully unfolded the yellowed Legend of Heroes in the cloth bag. He doesn't care about climbing on the widow's wall and being criticized by others. Firstly, the appearance of the widowed horse is so good that it can ward off evil spirits. Secondly, there are not many residents here and there are no houses to block it. The cool breeze in early summer flows freely, which is very pleasant. Refreshing.
The moonlight is in the sky and the breeze is blowing.
The young man's eyes were clear, and he borrowed the moonlight to read old books.
Watch the knights slay thieves and bandits along the way, and watch the immortals break down the sect with one sword.
