"Well, it's me. Let me ask you, what did Leader Zhang have for lunch at his house?"
"I made the rice. Some sausages were steamed on top of the rice, a green vegetable and braised pork were fried, and the soup was kelp and meatball soup."
The menu was announced on the receiver, and I was stunned.
Liu Ruxiang talked to her for a few insignificant words and then hung up the phone.
"What, you still don't believe it?"
"You see that the nanny has a bad attitude towards us. In fact, I made arrangements with her in advance. After all, this is just a little trick. If they become suspicious, they can easily tell the clues by observing the nanny a little."
I breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, it also dispelled one of my doubts.
"I finally understand why you are so rich and don't hire a nanny to take care of us. It turns out that this is the reason. That's right. If some enemy bribes the nanny, just put more in the food. Something, that would be dangerous.”
Liu Ruxiang smiled slowly: "You still have some brains."
It seems that this spell cannot be learned.
The cook looked at my dejected look and encouraged me: "Although I can't learn the tea-tasting skill of Lao Shizi, at least I can learn how to build bridges and ask for flowers. I think you can learn this now."
"Huh?" I was stunned.
The difficulty of that thing is obvious to all. Not to mention the complicated dance steps, just the thousands of words of the master's chant can make people's scalp numb.
"Master, I think I can take it slow..."
Liu Ruxiang frowned: "Go, don't waste time, bring the scriptures written by Po Wang now, and I'll read them to you."
Following the instructions of the cook, I took out the Master's Singing Collection from the bookshelf, and then turned to the page about Po Wang's Ode.
"I'll read it, you read it along."
"I bowed my head and returned to the mountain with a bow. I was born with the spirit of Pangu. I sang Po Wang when he came out of the world. He is currently living in Aoshan Palace. His meritorious officials took the sword and kowtowed to pass the class. People who don't sing Po Wang don't understand. Basically, the name is passed down. , explain the fundamentals to people, the mother-in-law established the heaven and the earth, the mother-in-law gave birth to human life, the birth of children depends on the mother-in-law, the sky is the emperor's father, the earth is the mother, the heaven and the earth are chaotic and there is no one..."
These vernacular characters are just translation methods with similar sounds and meanings, not their original glyphs. The characters of the ancient Zhuang family basically only exist in the scriptures and chants of the masters, and the pronunciation and even the interpretation are different in different places. There are even some characters that no one recognizes when they are written. For example, in "Gongcao Nazhu Kowtows Passing Class", the word "stick", according to the ancient Zhuang language, should be one 丨 on the left and one zhang on the right. There is also the word "er". In the ancient Zhuang language, it is written with a child on the left and a force on the right.
I read along with Liu Ruxiang's voice and often made mistakes. When I made a mistake, Liu Ruxiang picked up the wooden stick next to me and hit my hand. Then I had to read the sentence correctly three times in a row.
Cold sweat soon broke out on his forehead.
I know that Liu Ruxiang is doing it for my own good. If I want to live beyond the age of eighteen, I must obtain seven or forty-nine merits by practicing Master Dharma on my own before then. Only then can I seek The ancestor protected him and he lived the rest of his life in peace.
After realizing this, although I was beaten while studying, I actually worked harder and more diligently than when I studied in school. Sometimes I even brought a scripture chant to school and recited it silently in self-study classes.
After going back and forth, all the classmates in the class knew that there was a little teacher like me in the class. Everyone has different opinions. Some think I am awesome, while others despise feudal superstition. But I don’t care about other people’s opinions. After all, my life is my own.
…
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, and I have learned most of the basic skills of building bridges and asking for flowers.
Every day, I go to school and after school, from home to school, two o'clock and one line. If it is weekends and holidays, I have to stay at home to memorize scriptures and learn spells. Liu Ruxiang is watching and supervising me very strictly.
On weekdays at school, in addition to playing with Wei Linjuan, I also interacted more with Fatty's deskmate Wei Yu.
I often call him the nickname "Feed the Fish", but he is not angry and is cheerful every day.
But at the end of November, fat Wei Yu stopped coming to school.
As early as when I was in elementary school, every year when school started, some people would disappear.
Those classmates either couldn't afford the tuition at home, or they had to work at home and take care of their younger siblings. Sometimes I would go to their homes to play, and I could always see a hint of envy for me in their eyes.
But... I remember that Wei Yu's family conditions have always been pretty good. His father worked in the city, and his mother took care of him at home and grew some vegetables to sell in the county.
At noon, it happened to be the Chinese class of teacher Feng, the head teacher. She looked at me sitting alone and explained: "Wei Yu's father is injured and cannot continue to work. Now he is lying in the county hospital. Wei Yu is needed." Go take care of him. After a while, Wei Yu’s father will recover from his illness and he will be able to come back and continue school. Don’t worry.”
The classmates in the class were very sad and didn't care about it.
None of the young female students had a crush on a fat man, which excluded half of them. Among the other boys, many liked to bully him.
Sometimes, during recess, some boys walked past Wei Yu, snatched snacks from his desk, dangled them in front of his eyes, turned around and ran away very fast.
"Come and catch me. If you catch me, I'll give it to you."
Wei Yu gritted his teeth and ran out of breath.
"Hey, it's here." The man threw the snack into the sky, drew an arc, and landed in the hands of another person who had discussed it in advance.
Several people ran and laughed, exhausting the fat man until he was sweating profusely. Then they opened the snacks, flung them around in a showy manner, ate one bite and threw another, deliberately trying to bully him into tears.
Once, this happened to be what I saw. I rushed forward in two steps, grabbed a person by his collar, and pushed him against the wall.
Without saying much, he slapped him first, then grabbed his head and dragged him all the way to Wei Yu.
"If you fucking dare to bully others, I will kill you!"
I started to fight hard, with a fierce look in my eyes, and no one was afraid.
In addition to He Tianqi who was fired before, everyone knows that I have a lot of energy. I am so scared that I don’t even dare to fart. I keep nodding and saying I understand, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!
That afternoon, I found out the name of Wei Yu’s father from Teacher Feng. When I got home, I told Liu Ruxiang about Wei Yu, my deskmate, and asked Uncle Peng to drive me to the county hospital so that I could see what was going on at Wei Yu's home.
When I arrived at the county hospital, I went straight to Director Chen's office. When I found him, I asked, is there a person named Wei Danian in your hospital?
Wei Danian is Wei Yu's father.
However, Director Chen called a few people and checked for a while and told me that there was no such patient in the hospital.
