"Four days ago, Brother Nan fainted for no apparent reason and fell to the ground. I specially sent him to the hospital in person, and also paid ten yuan for medicine in advance to replenish his energy and strengthen his strength, hoping to form a good relationship."
Song Zhong recalled, while slowly saying: "But since then, Brother Nan's temperament seems to have changed slightly. I always feel that although Brother Nan is very talented, he is from a rural background and is sensitive and suspicious in his heart. He is inexplicably arrogant and not very approachable."
"But in the past few days, Brother Nan has actually turned his arrogance into confidence. His demeanor is calm and calm, and he is no longer sensitive and suspicious. Although he has been a little taciturn in the past two days, he has become more gentle and humble, and has the demeanor of a gentleman."
"Moreover, he seemed to have borrowed some money from Beihe layman in the name of advance payment for the novel he submitted, and he specifically paid back three yuan to pay for the medicine in advance. It seems that he is still grateful, but does not want to owe too much."
"The strangest thing is today. Brother Nan saw through the thief's trick and was not afraid at all. He asked the child to lead him to the kitchen, took a sharp knife and hid it in his sleeve, and fought the thief in the backyard."
Song Zhongyue said, becoming more and more confused.
He was a little confused. It was clear that Nan Yi owed ten yuan for medicine at that time, but when we met the next day, he suddenly became as confident as if he were rich and powerful, and even eliminated some minor flaws in his temperament?
Song Zhong was puzzled.
After hearing what he said, Song Yushu frowned.
Beiheju? Novel submission?
As a member of Nanshan County officials, although Song Yushu's official position is not high, he is the easiest to hear a lot of rumors.
In addition to last year's year-end exams, the most rumored thing in Nanshan County recently is that Beiheju is about to launch a new newspaper, and he boldly claims that with this new newspaper, all the literati in the county will be eye-opening.
Hearing that Nan Yi was related to Bei Heju and seemed to be writing articles for exchange, Song Yushu nodded thoughtfully.
"Zhong'er, I'm afraid you, my classmate, may not be borrowing money from the store, but actually paying the manuscript fee in advance." Song Yushu told Song Zhong about Beiheju's founding of a new newspaper, and sighed, "As the saying goes, 'the spirit of poetry and calligraphy comes from China'. ', It seems that your classmate is really talented, and his achievements in the future will be limitless. As the ancients said, 'A person without talent will eventually have no wealth.' Zhonger, you will have to learn from him in the future."
"My child knows." Song Zhong responded, but there was still some confusion deep in his eyes.
The novel manuscript fee may explain Nan Yi’s confidence, but in terms of temperament...
Before Song Zhong could think more, Song Yushu suddenly increased his tone, interrupted Song Zhong's thoughts, and said in a deep voice:
"Zhong'er, you just need to remember that Nan Tian is smart and talented, and his future is limitless. As for fighting the thief, Nan is a villager. Maybe he is used to slaughtering chickens and ducks, so he will know how to use a knife. That thief is not Humans are just human beings. Nan Yi kills thieves, so there is no need to hold anything back."
Song Zhong was slightly startled. He looked at Song Yushu's serious expression, suddenly woke up, and nodded slowly.
It doesn't matter whether Nan Yi's temperament has changed. The important thing is that Song Zhong is Nan Yi's classmate now, and later, he can be Nan Yi's good friend.
As long as this year's annual exam is over, next year he can follow Nan Yi and go to the county to govern Nantian City.
In fact, originally, as long as he was not over the age limit, Song Zhong could continue to stay in Nanshan Academy and wait for the exam next year.
But in Song Yushu's eyes, instead of repeating a year to compete for the top spot in next year's exam, it is better to maintain a good relationship with Nan Yi, move around more, and get closer.
This is the simple wisdom that is common to all worlds and is called "hugging the thighs" by Blue Star.
Seeing that Song Zhong had figured this out, Song Yushu nodded happily.
A person's life must of course rely on self-struggle, but one must also consider the support of noble people.
In Song Yushu's view, Nan Yi's performance was extraordinary and he was destined to become a noble person in the future.
…………
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
But as for Nan Yi, the reason why he was so straightforward and without hesitation when he started to kill Gui in the Song Mansion was because in the "Dongzhen" vision, the Spouting Woman did not look like an ordinary person, but more like a plastic doll, and her body was hollow. , all pure water.
He killed the water-filled doll in anger and stabbed it without any hesitation.
Although this revealed some abnormalities in himself, Nan Yi was not worried that this matter would become publicized.
According to Da Li's habit of "telling nothing about the mysterious", the Song family father and son are not stupid people. Whether it is Nan Yi's brazen killing of the mysterious, or Nan Yi's own strange things, they will not talk about it in a big way.
Even the servants of the Song family will keep their mouths shut under Song Yushu's supervision.
Therefore, compared to whether the incident with Spraying Po Po would cause trouble, what Nan Yi was currently worried about was actually the black cat in the morning.
He came out of Song Mansion and looked around several times on the way back to his school, but he never saw the black cat again.
But once his suspicions arose, they would not fade away easily.
The main reason is that the black cat's hair is too smooth and shiny, and it doesn't look like a wild cat at first glance, but it is seen outside the Shuxing courtyard and the school courtyard, which is really weird.
Nan Yi speculated with the greatest malice.
There is a 60% chance that it is related to the medical officer Xu Luo; as for the remaining 40% possibility, it may be an unknown person spying secretly.
Nan Yi shrank his right hand.
In his sleeve, he suddenly held the sharp knife that stabbed Shui Po before.
Perhaps in the Song Mansion before, Nan Yi's movement of hiding the knife in his sleeve was so natural that no one in the Song Mansion paid attention and ignored the whereabouts of the sharp knife.
Nan Yi felt that he was kind to the Song Dynasty, but he didn't want to explain more. After a moment's hesitation, he saw that no one cared, so he took the knife away.
——Mainly Nan Yi wanted to hide this knife as one of his trump cards, so that the people behind the Black Cat would not notice it; so even though the Song Dynasty gave him a silver dollar as a thank you gift, Nan Yi could not take the money. Go to the market and buy a knife for later use.
Fortunately, he helped the Song Mansion eliminate the mystery today, which was regarded as a favor, and he was not too ashamed of it. He just thought that he was learning from the adventurers who rummaged through things.
Let's get back to the subject, after learning about the Spraying Po, even though the Spraying Po is a novice monster in extremely poor condition, Nan Yi has some idea of the world's magic.
The unknown is the greatest fear.
Previously, what he was most afraid of was the gods and monks in this world. They were unreasonable and had characteristics such as being immune to physical attacks. They were beyond the scope of what mortals could deal with.
But now it seems that although the strange spirit cannot be seriously injured by mortals, its strange body can still be injured by mortal weapons.
Based on this, monks, at least the lowest level monks, should also be able to be injured by mortal weapons. This is far from the point where "as long as you refine your Qi and build your foundation, you can defeat ordinary people" in some novels in previous lives.
Therefore, although Nan Yi was still wary of Xu Luo, the medical officer who might have malicious intentions, he was not overly worried.
At worst, risk your life to see who dies first.
With harsh words in his heart, Nan Yi rushed back to the school. When he saw the lecturer Zhu Xian frowning slightly, he immediately lost his smile.
He was delayed at the Song Mansion and almost missed the afternoon class start time when he rushed back to the school building.
Zhu Xian took a nap while lying on a deck chair in the courtyard. As he was getting up, he saw Nan Yi returning at this moment, and asked curiously: "Why did it take so long?"
Nan Yi had no choice but to answer: "Brother Song and his grandmother passed away. I went to express condolences and pay homage, but there was some trouble in the Song mansion, so I was delayed for a while."
Zhu Xian did not doubt that he was there, and did not ask in detail what the trouble was in the Song family. He just sighed: "Life and death are unpredictable. It is really unpredictable when this happens. I just hope that he will adjust as soon as possible and not miss the annual exam."
Zhu Xian slowly turned around and walked towards the classroom, and suddenly asked: "Did Song Zhong say how many days he would observe filial piety?"
"Observe filial piety for three days."
After Nan Yi finished speaking, he quickly ran back to his dormitory to put the knife away, and then hurried back to the classroom to sit down.
